Recently, I was invited by Momtrends and VTech to attend brunch at Ludlow Studios where I would learn about the new VTech Safe & Sound VM344 Pan & Tilt Baby Monitor and participate in a fun nursery design challenge.  

We enjoyed salads out of cute mason jars and mingled over cocktails from the Mimosa bar.  (Guava mimosas?  Can I just tell you right now that I am totally planning to use that idea at a party in the future!  YUM!)

As Nicole introduced us to the VTech Safe & Sound VM344 Pan & Tilt Baby Monitor one thing became very clear…MONITORS HAVE CHANGED!  The sleek and stylish baby monitor that we learned about is so different from the one that I had, it should be given another name.  It is like comparing an old brick cell phone from the early 90’s to Apple’s latest offering.

Some of my favorite features are: 

-The Temperature Sensor.  It is nice to be able to look at the readout on the screen and know that your baby’s room is comfortable for them.

– The 4.3-Inch LCD High-Resolution Screen.  The picture on this is crystal clear!  Plus, it automatically shifts to infrared night vision in a dark room so you will be able to tell if your baby is sleeping soundly.

– The Pan & Tilt Camera.  How cool is that?  It also zooms in for a better view.

The VTech Safe & Sound VM344 Pan & Tilt Baby Monitor is high tech and modern but it is also adorable.  I love the cute owl camera.  I think it would fit right into any nursery decor.

 Speaking of nursery decor…after we were finished eating we broke up into three teams to choose accessories and compete at designing the most stylish nursery.

Here was what we had to choose from:

The other ladies on my team were mommybites.com, betsy-v.com, gothamlove.com and mominloveforever.com.

We had really different styles (some like a minimalist look and some – ahem me – gravitated towards pink and more girly accessories).  

We all compromised a bit and our room came out fantastic!  We didn’t win but we did have a great time!
