I've been invited to review a Daily Portrait from Milson Road:
The Daily Portrait™ — a PERSONALIZED, COMMEMORATIVE, FRAMED PRINT that captures and celebrates a milestone or special occasion within the context of the news of the day. A one-of-a-kind gift that only gets better with time…
Since my youngest daughter, Captain Milz, was born in December 2009, I'm creating one just for her. You can check out her awesomeness to the right over there.
We ordered one for her big sister, The Ky, when she was born in May of 2005, but it was nowhere near as detailed. Not to mention, it wasn't nicely framed and matted, as the one from MilsonRoad will be. This one is 18x20, and comes with a custom wood frame. There are many different options for backgrounds, mats, and frame color. My Daily Portrait was extremely easy to design: I just picked out my preferred colors, then answered some questions about Milz and her birthday. Then, I got to see a proof of my order. I will get my beautiful, customized portrait within 3 weeks and it comes with a custom (choice of gold or silver) commemorative plate with her name and birth date at the bottom of the frame.
The best part? The super sweet people over at MilsonRoad.com wants to give YOU a free Daily Portrait as well! This is an amazing $165 value! You can choose from a child's birth, special birthdays, graduation, weddings, anniversaries, and bar/bat mitzvahs. How exciting!
All you have to do is tell me what you would use your gift code to buy. Do you have a child who you would like to honor, or maybe a great couple you know is getting married? Tell me why YOU should be the lucky winner of this beautiful piece of art. You can comment below or email to APeculiarPea@Yahoo.com.
I just received an email from BzzAgent about a really interesting new film called "Babies". This film follows four newborns from different places (Mongolia, Namibia, San Francisco, and Tokyo) from their first breath to their following adventures. Here are the cuties:
Ponijao from Opuwo, Namibia Bayar from Bayanchandmani, Mongolia
Hattie from San Francisco, California Mari from Tokyo, Japan
They are so gorgeous! I could snuggle these little guys to pieces. I'm partial to Ponijao--that is one adorable baby. Look at those cheeks!
Ponijao lives in Namibia with her family, including her parents and eight older brothers and sisters. Ponijao’s family is part of the Himba tribe, and lives in a small village with other families, following traditions including speaking their own (Himba) language. The men in the Himba tribe are generally off looking after the cattle and searching for grass, so Ponijao is most often with her mother and other female relatives; she plays, eats, and is bathed through the traditional method of mixing concrete red ochre with oil. Ponijao’s favorite things to do are dance and play with other children in the tribe.
I can't wait to check out this film. I think it's a great idea for a movie, and there is nothing more beautiful than the miracle of life. I can't wait to see the parents meet their babies for the first time, and watch them as they grow and learn to explore. Plus, cuteness! How could you not be in a great mood after watching such pure, unadulterated sweetness?
Speaking of sweetness, every parent thinks they have the most beautiful baby, right? It's one of our job requirements as a parent to be completely oblivious to any fault or flaw on our kids and ambush unsuspecting victims with photo and video of how amazing they are. Well, BzzAgent and the makers of the film "Babies" want to give you a chance to show off. They know you're proud of your offspring, and they want you to show it. Use the widget below to submit a pic of your baby supermodel and your baby could be included in the DVD release of the movie! How awesome is that?
And as always, don't forget to join BzzAgent so that you can get the latest news on products, films, and other goodies. You could even get free stuff to try out and share with your friends! It's free and easy to join.
