A List Baby | AListBaby.Net|From designer nurseries to boy toddler clothes and crib combo sets, we help you and your baby live your most fabulous life.

This is Glamorous has a beautiful Lucite feature today! And for a baby girl’s nursery….we are liking the Lucite accents!

Spring is all about rejuvenation, warmth and adding color back after the white of winter!  It’s the perfect time to start working on an updated look for the new season, and what better way than adding a POP of color to your grooming arsenal. We think the Tweezerman tool makes for the BEST brows, and we love the new green Moraccan style design on this one! And how cute are these hot pink clippers? Bringing the fun back to grooming!

One lucky baby girl got a Christening party fit for a starlet! We love the butterfly theme, and the purples hues. The “I” made out of flowers is a real standout! Looks like a lovely time…and beautifully coordinated! Thanks to Kara’s party ideas for these great photos!

Have you heard about the Genghis Grill Health Kwest? Genghis Grill is one of our favorite spots to eat. It is a build-your-own stir fry restaurant, with more than 80 fresh ingredients to chose from. You can even ask the grill master to cook your bowl to order! Genghis Grill has introduced a new healthy-influenced campaign called Health Kwest, a journey into a healthier lifestyle where contestants from each Genghis Grill location will dedicate themselves for three months by eating Genghis Grill’s healthier meal options everyday for free, and have a chance to win $10,000. Genghis Grill and Medical City Hospital, a nationally accredited hospital based in Dallas, have been partners for four years to bring Genghis Grill fans quarterly heart healthy bowl options. Medical City Hospital will provide each contestant a dietician-recommended diet and exercise plan for the Health Kwest campaign. Eating out daily AND losing weight? That is my kind of plan! And check out these new Genghis Grill commercials…they are fantastic!

We were on the hunt for the perfect play yard…the ideal spot for a boo-boo to hang out on trips to Grandpa’s house or auntie’s house.

This play yard is designed to transition from newborn to infant to toddler. The newborn napper comes with extra soft fleece fabric, the removable full-size bassinet is perfect for napping, and the quick and hassle-free push button close and diaper changing table are so convenient, you’ll be just as happy as baby! {Note: The Napper is for use only for infants up to 3 months old and unable to roll over.} This adorable pooh play yard is available at Amazon and Target.

Hello friends! I have been going through a tough time. We are waiting.waiting.waiting on some important results. And I am so tired of having these “results” control my life. And sick of feeling like my lovely life is on hold. So, if the results are positive on February 28, it will be a celebration, albeit a reluctant one, until those shaky first weeks pass.

And if the results are negative, I am going to turn it into a positive, by walking into a Louis Vuitton store and buying a duffle bag. Because I can. And I am sick of giving all of my money to doctors. The next thing I am going to do is get in the car with Mr. AList and go buy a maltese puppy! {When it comes to puppies, who says money cannot buy happiness?} My wonderful AEPhi sisters have also agreed to join me in California for a GIRLS WEEKEND. They are leaving their babies at home for a little spa and pool time at a glamorous resort that you will learn all about in future posts. Today I am not letting these results control my life. Win-Win.

It is Wednesday…only two more days until the weekend! Today, we are talking about smart phones, and let me tell you…my smart phone with U.S. Cellular service DEFINITELY helps me communicate better with my family and friends. First of all, no one under 18 actually uses the phone for talking any more. It is all about TEXTS, and thankfully, I am able to text my younger family members to stay in the loop on their busy lives. I can receive unlimited texts and photos on my plan, which is helpful! I have girlfriends with babies all over the country, and with their weekly photos, I can follow the progress of their little ones. Any everyone is on Facebook….but who has the time to check it? Thankfully, I can check my Facebook app on my smart phone while I am waiting in line at the DMV, or riding the ski lift up the mountain in Colorado! All of these tools help me stay connected to my friends and family, and I could not do it without my smart phone.

U.S. Cellular also has a great rewards program! Check it out….

Rewards Program

With U.S. Cellular, you can earn points to redeem for new phones, accessories, ringtones and more by doing things you already do—like paying your bill or adding a line. Easy as that.

Faster, No-Contract Upgrades

With the rate cool new phones are coming out these days, do you really want to wait two years for an upgrade? U.S. Cellular® lets you use reward points to get a new phone faster without a new contract.

Overage Protections

Nobody likes surprises on their bill. That’s why we’re got you covered with Overage Protection, Overage Cap and Overage Forgiveness.

Free Incoming Calls, Texts & Pix

We don’t think it’s right to charge you for things you can’t control—like calls and messages people make to you. That’s why every last incoming one is free.

Battery Swap

If your battery is dead or dying and you can’t get to a charger, just bring it in to any U.S. Cellular® store, and we’ll give you a fully charged one.

At our house, we believe nothing is more important than our health. A small gesture can lead to big rewards in our health. This is why the “Small Wins, Big Rewards” sweepstakes by Glam Network and Quaker Oatmeal is so exciting! There are two “musts” in my morning routine. The first is a healthy breakfast. I love grabbing a  Quaker Oatmeal in Peaches and Cream, my all-time favorite flavor. I will enjoy it with some sparkling water and an apple or some yogurt. It is a quick way to make breakfast amazing. The second “morning must” is a walk around the neighborhood.

We have been blessed with good weather this winter. I love hearing the birds chirping, and I love the smell of fresh air. With a good breakfast and some exercise, I can tackle anything that comes my way. Please join me for a Twitter Quaker Oatmeal discussion #QuakerRewards on Thursday, February 9 at 4PM PST to talk about:

“Starting the day off right: What small wins can you accomplish as part of your morning routine to help start your day right?”

 Just by participating in a discussion, participants will automatically be entered into the “Small Wins, Big Rewards” Sweepstakes! At the end each discussion, one of the participants will be chosen at random to receive a $50 Amazon Gift Card, to purchase anything from your favorite Quaker Oatmeal products to exercise clothing to help you get off to a perfect start. There will be two other discussions that we will tell you more about later this month—and all participants will also be entered to win the Grand Prize: a $1000 Amazon Gift Card! So the more discussions you participate in, the better chance you have of winning the grand prize! The benefits of a warm, filling bowl of oatmeal can keep you going all morning long. Energy. Fiber. Heart Health. Quaker Oatmeal. A super grain breakfast.
