AListBaby readers, 2009 has been a wonderful year!

In 2009 Mr. AList and I got engaged….we got married…we created a thriving company!

Two of my best friends welcomed babies into this world in 2009, and their names are Julianne and Garrett. I love them both so much!  2010 is going to be a fabulous year. We wish you a peaceful holiday with loved ones…and we leave you with images from this year’s Tiffany and Co. holiday window displays. Cheers!

I adore Lily Pulitzer clothing! And this baby girl nursery brings out the pink and green happiness that sings from Lily Pulitzer boutiques. The bedding set is sold at Posh Tots, $650.

It is rare that our team at AListBaby gets controversial….but we are all 100% Team Elin. The pain she is going through reminds us that material things mean nothing without happiness in our homes and love in our hearts.  In 2010, we wish this lovely mom joy in her soul, peace in her mind, and confidence in her decisions. And most of all, a healthy mind and body. These are the best gifts any of us can wish for this holiday season! It will get better, Elin, we promise!

We totally love the Swanky Blankie personalized blankets! ($135.50, Neiman Marcus) We think every baby should have a blanket with his or her name on it, don’t you? These also make great gifts!

This cute little fish bowl is sure to be one of your child’s favorite toys! The bright colors make a great baby toy. Baby will enjoy emptying and putting the fish back in one by one. It sells for $15.96 at a great online toy store called Gummy Lump! But one lucky reader will win this prize for their little one! Just log onto the Gummy Lump web site, and send us the name of your favorite toy from the site to alistbabyblog {at} yahoo {dot} com by December 22 at Noon Central. Good luck!

It is no secret that we find the crazy Kardashian dolls entertaining! (Love their long brunette locks!) Today, we congratulate Kourtney Kardashian on her new baby boy, named Mason Dash Disnick. Since we know Kourtney loves the all-white look, we would gift her this Monaco bassinet from Posh Tots, $1,150. Best wishes to Kourtney, Scott Disnick, and the entire Jenner and Kardashian clan.

We adore the verymeri baby and child t-shirt collection that is designed by kids, for kids! The company sent us this sweet “Love” t-shirt today, and we like the quality and hip style! Celeb tots including Coco Cox Arquette and Marcia Cross’ twins are big fans. Check out the site for some great gift ideas that both kids and their parents will appreciate!

Who says Christmas outfits have to be red or green? We adore these tutus! Posh Tots, $100. Your little angel would love opening gifts under the tree wearing this.

Your little one’s tiny hands will not stay tiny forever! When you pull out the Christmas ornaments years from now, it would be very sweet to find his or her little handprint to remind you of baby’s first Christmas. Just add water to this Child to Cherish kit ($9.99), and the imprint will become a lasting keepsake for your tree. We received the kit in the mail, and the project is easy, we promise!

Across the blogosphere, fellow bloggers are letting their readers in on seven “little known” facts about their blog’s writers. Here are some tidbits you may not know about me (Mary):

1. I spent a semester studying abroad in Rome, Italy, at The American University of Rome. We met at places like the Pantheon and Colosseum for class. I think it’s funny I thought it was no big deal….which brings me to my next item:

2. I spent nearly two years interning in Senator Edward Kennedy’s press office in Washington, DC. JFK Jr. called once. I watched the Senator in action. I walked his dog, Blarney. I saw Eunice speak at a committee meeting. And I saw firsthand how hard he worked for our country.

3. I talk to my Dad everyday, and I truly value his advice.

4. I anchored the news for a few years for KXMB in Bismarck, ND and WHBF in Rock Island, IL. I want to go back to Bismarck someday and watch my former videographer Juan play softball, and meet his wife and little girl. As for the Quad Cities….if I had one opportunity to go back in time and tell myself something, it would be there. And I would say, “Pack your bags, and move along girl.”

5. I truly love Diet Coke; but only when it is freshly opened. I leave a lot of half-full cans around the house. I’m OK with that.

6. One of my favorite things in the world is to see a best friend with her newborn baby. Those little guys bring out the best in my friends—a new part of her heart opens up.

7. Our wedding day was a lifelong dream come true. Not only do I have the perfect husband for me; we had the most incredible day of our lives. I have a great feeling in my heart that we made it all happen, and it is all better than we could ever imagine.
