The Place to be is The Children's Place!

2009-01-06T12:23:00.005-06:00

I had the opportunity to review some really cute and comfy pajamas for my older son. He now wants to wear his "Rocket PJs" every night!

If you haven't ever shopped The Children's Place, or ChildrensPlace.com, now is the time to check it out! I absolutely love their clothes for both of my boys. They are both cute and durable! In fact, I love them so much that I have a Place Card, which my husband hates!

Also included in my review was a giftcard to The Children's Place. Woohoo! I bought both of my boys new winter hats and gloves which are truly adorable. The employees in store are always friendly and personable and able to help with any question I have. Like I said, if you've never visited.. go check them out!

They are having a huge sale on the website right now, and they usually have good sales in store also.

Let me know what you think!!

Lovin' Those BabyLegs!

2008-11-13T17:38:00.005-06:00

And no, I'm not talking about my 18 month old's chunky thighs...

I had the great opportunity to receive a pair of BabyLegs for review, in the Flurry design, and I love them!

Though my mini-man's legs are kinda short, they still fit him fine and don't look bad bunched up a little bit.. I've even found myself looking for a shirt that would match them so that I can wear them as arm warmers!

BabyLegs has a design to fit any need you may have, whether it be boy or girl, funky or cute--they have it all. Also, check out their new holiday line. These things make diaper changes a breeze, and can be worn in any weather, with nearly any outfit.

One thing that I must mention is their Pink Ribbon BabyLegs that raise money to support breast cancer research with the Susan G. Komen foundation. They are one of my favorite pair because they are super cute, but they also are totally for a great cause.

Go check out BabyLegs and see for yourself all that they have to offer. Maybe your kiddo will be the next celeb baby look-a-like, since there are many celebrities who choose BabyLegs as one of their diaper bag essentials.

GIveaway Gala-Surprise! Giveaway #10-AbbaDabbaBags

2008-10-09T02:01:00.001-05:00

AbbaDabbaBags got it's name from a nickname the owner's son had for his baby sister when she was born. AbbaDabba-How cute is that?!

The inspiration for her great diaper bags came after recieving four different, but all bland, vinyl diaper bags after her first child was born. She then took a piece of each bag, to make one of her own, unique and functional. After recieving many requests for a unique diaper bag such as hers, she finally gave in and made one for a friend. This led to many more orders and thus led to her opening her online shop. AbbaDabbaBags was born.

You can find not only great diaper bags, but also day bags-which I particularly love, teacher totes, shoulder bags, wristlets, and library totes. And, if you don't find what you're looking for withing those choices, she also does custom orders!

All AbbaDabbaBags are handmade with pride and love, and particular attention to detail. The teacher bags are super sturdy, enough to hold books and binders. The shoulder bags are the perfect size to carry everyday for those of you who only take the 'essentials' along in your purse. Days bags are the perfect carry-all size, perfect for everyone.

How would you like to win this great Wristlet- in Amy Butler Orange French Wallpaper fabric? It's design is very cute, and you can take it anywhere! The wristlets are padded enough to provide some protection to your cellphone. The interior fabric isn't just plain either, it's got a great coordinating retro design called "Feeling Groovy".

To enter, all you need to do is go and visit AbbaDabbaBags' Etsy shop and take a good look around, then come back here and leave a comment telling me what your favorite product or design is. Very simple!

For extra entries you can do one or more of the following:

Contest ends October 18, 2008. Winner will be drawn via random.org.

2008-10-09T01:00:00.000-05:00

Pearly Grey has everything baby needs. I found them searching for cute baby clothes, and came across this great hand-dyed skull onesie. It instantly drew me into the site where I found tons more items that I would have loved to have when my youngest one was little-er.

The owner/designer of Pearly Grey takes her inspiration for her retro designs from her daughter, and from the styles of the 40's, 50's and 60's.

Take a look around Pearly Grey's Etsy shop and you can find clothing, big baby bibs, little baby bibs, baby gift sets, blankets, and burp rags.

One of my favorite items is the Funky Monkey Orange and Red Mop it Up Burp and Bum Rags, pictured here.

How would you like the chance to win a set of Burp & Bum Rags tm from PearlyGrey?

They were nice enough to offer this awesome prize to one lucky reader! To enter, simply visit PearlyGrey's Etsy shop, take a good look around, and then come back here and leave a comment telling me which wonderful item is your favorite. It's that simple!

Giveaway Gala-Giveaway #8-My Joeys

2008-10-08T01:17:00.001-05:00

My Joeys is a company that started when a problem needed a solution. Andrea was tired of searching for cute baby gifts that didn't cost a fortune, and didn't look like everything else. She also needed a cute, functional way to carry around her neices and nephews when she was babysitting them. And so became My Joeys.

All items at My Joeys are handmade, with the highest attention to detail. She chooses fabric based on it's feel, quality, look and comfort. There are even a few prints that Dad wouldn't mind sporting around town!

Check out their site, where you can find baby slings, bags, nursing covers, baby blankets and accessories.

Andrea has been generous enough to offer one of my readers a My Joeys Messenger Bag in the Charlotte print. It is a beautiful embroidered silk fabric, and a great sized bag!

To enter, go take a look around My Joeys, and then come back here and leave me a comment telling me what your favorite product was on her site. It's pretty simple.

Giveaway Gala-Giveaway #7-Belli Skincare

2008-10-07T01:48:00.001-05:00

After going through two pregnancies, I have horrible stretch marks (I like to call them my battle wounds). And, since having two c-sections, I have a horrible scar. Not to mention the horrible bags under my eyes from more than four years of sleepless nights! But, I have found a place that has products for all of these 'problems'

Belli Skin Care has everything to keep Mommy and Baby's skin healthy and beautiful. They have a pregancy line, a motherhood line, and a baby line. Each line contains products for bath and body, complexion, and comfort & relief.

Erin from Belli Skin Care has been generous enough to offer product for my giveaway here, but there's a catch. That's right, this giveaway is going to be a little different. The prize is a surprise! The only thing I'm telling you is the retail value of it is $34.95.

To enter, simply go visit Belli Skin Care, take a good look around, and then come back here and tell me what you would like to try from their site and why. It's that easy.

Giveaway Gala-Giveaway #6-Boojiboo Apron

2008-10-06T01:05:00.001-05:00

I find myself being more and more into the 'vintage' inspired items. Especially when they are handmade with care and attention to detail. I found a great Etsy shop that does just that with all of their items.

Boojiboo carries some great aprons, half-aprons, kids' aprons, kitchen towels, baby bibs and some great bags. All handmade, and all in a vintage design. One of my favorite items that they carry is the Bella Vintage Inspired Fifties Atomic Jellybean Full Apron. It is way cute!

The owners of Boojiboo started their business out of their home, and make everything that they sell with love and pride. They even iron each item so that it looks nice whenever they ship it to you!

Guess what the best part is? They graciously offered one of my readers a chance to win one of their awesome aprons! Enter to win The Bella Vintage Inspired Turquoise Pop Garden Full Apron (pictured here).

All you need to do to enter is visit Boojiboo's Etsy shop, take a good look around, then come back here and let me know what your very favorite item is that they sell. It's that easy!

Makes me crazy!

2008-10-04T11:53:00.000-05:00

The other night, we got home late from being out of town. I came in the door, one sleeping kid and a bag full of stuff in tow, only to hear the house phone ringing off the wall. I answer it, can't hear anything but a bunch of music and stuff in the background. Sounded like a party. I hung up. Go lay sleeping child in their bed, as I'm walking back into the hallway the phone rings again. Same number on the caller ID, someone in Pennsylvania. I'm not impressed. I answer it, a little rudely this time, and the perso asks for someone that I've never heard of. I tell them (even more rudely than I answered) they have the wrong number and then hang up. No more calls that night. This type of thing makes me crazy! Why are they calling me? Why are they calling at almost midnight? So, I got curious and decided to try and look the phone number up using a Phone Number Info site. Found out that they are in Greensburg, PA. There is also available information on the owner name and address, other members of the household, and more. I got a little more curious and decided to look up another number that had been calling lately.. A strange number that I'd never seen. I was able to find out through other's comments on the number that they are some 'vacation dealer' who offers a great chance to win a free cruise if you go and visit one of their timeshare locations. No purchase necessary it says, yeah right! Isn't that what they always say?
