We’ve been so thrilled with the amount of local networking we’ve been able to accomplish lately in the Charlotte community. Being in touch with women, moms, business owners, media, and all that jazz right here in our own back yards is so exciting and so rewarding! We’ve developed more relationships just in the past 6 weeks worth of 2010 than I think we did all last year!! See…2010 is the year of BabyElan!! I “foresee” 2010 being “the year” for many of us actually!! AND, if 2010 is the year for baby making for you…you’ll love this Charlotte based company! Say hello to Aundrea and her creations at Zerbert Baby ! The bag above is what drew us in to Aundrea’s product line. It’s sturdy and modern {mixtures of designs for stimulation and head turning…}! A backpack or diaper bag sometimes isn’t needed, or wanted for that matter. For a simple yet note worthily sibling gift {perfect for hospital visits after the birth of the sibling’s new baby brother or sister} or shorter outings like church or lunch with friends or the park…these precious totes are adorable, easy to carry, and personalized {which by the way is included in the price…}. We have a personalized “Aidan” bag that “Aidan” thinks is the best thing since sliced bread!! At 20 months old, he can carry it himself so of course he thinks he’s hot stuff!! When Auntie has him, there’s no need for a diaper bag, just an “Aidan” bag. And for church, we pack it full of snacks and coloring supplies and he’s good to go for the whole hour! Make these your next gift bags…fill them with goodies and be the hit of the party! OR, “hippity hoppity, Easter’s on it’s way…” and if you don’t do baskets or are ready for a new tradition, why not fill Zerbert Baby personalized toddler bags with eggs instead!! So many uses, every child needs one! Oh…I’ve also used “Aidan’s” as a reusable shopping tote at Target recently, he got to carry his chocolate milk and special good boy toy all on his own just like mommy’s reusable shopping totes!! We first saw Zerbert Baby products in Belly Elan here in Charlotte and of course reached out to Aundrea immediately! Her product line is “luxe & elan” and everything we know you look for when shopping for baby gifts! When buying gifts, I don’t care if it’s the first child in the family or the 9th, you can not go wrong with bibs and burps! Especially when they are super cute, reversible, ultra-soft, perfectly sized, durable, and come with a waterproof inner layer…YEP…that’s a Zerbert Baby Bib and matching burp cloth! Matchy matchy goes over so well at baby showers!! The Snails and Peas design above is my fav! Good for boys or girls I would say! Oh…I meant to mention this in the beginning, do you know what a “zerbert” is?? Come on now mommies…think…I’m going to ask this as “extra credit” for the giveaway below so keep thinking! Love the name by the way Aundrea, super cute!! So for your next gift…think Zerbert Baby or spoil your child soon with his/her own bag like we mentioned above! { Zerbert Baby also carries cozy security blankies shown in some clever designs above and if you are in Charlotte and visit Belly Elan , you’ll see some Zerbert Baby onesies too!!} Beyond excited to offer up a Zerbert Baby bag personalized AND a bib for one lucky little lady or fella!

It’s the perfect recipe for a rumor to take off: mix one part mysterious hiatus with one part (slightly) fuller figure – and bam! A pregnancy rumor is made! A ’source’ has told Star Magazine, “Courteney’s telling friends she’s almost three months along. She’s been trying to get pregnant again for so long.” In October of last year Courteney spoke openly about wanting a second baby , and “revving up the engines.” Adding weight to the anonymous comment is the fact that Courteney’s show, Cougar Town , went on a “family emergency” break shortly before Thanksgiving. The magazine alleges the break was called after the 45-year-old underwent in vitro fertilization , and was ordered to bed rest for a brief time
