So it seems Pottery Barn Kids is constantly advertising a “sale” of some kind. Sure, whatever. $5 off a gazillion dollar item. Whoopee. I took the time to do a little browsing, however, and found some actually great deals on fun items–perfect for your own little ones or for stocking your gift cache. A sampling: Though summer is ending all too quickly, I might snatch up one of these for next year. Looks like tons of fun, sure to make…

So I am not sure that we will be able to turn this into a giveaway, but I thought that I would share this with our faithful readers nonetheless. How far have we come as a society. No Photoshop here. This is real.
So here is the giveaway winner roundup: Giveaway #10: Ava’s Closet doctor not diva. Personally, I have always had a problem with those juicy/shaggy/hairy/smelly slogans on the bottoms of shorts/shirts/pants/sweats/short-shorts. I just do not like them. Kudos to Ava’s Closet for thumbing their nose at this pretentious trend and congratulations to SocialWork4Kids for winning this giveaway. SocialWork4Kids wrote: My vote goes for President not Princess. I avoid girly, princess clothing as much as I can for my little one. I…

I recently came across an episode of How to Look Good Naked with Carson Kressley, and I’m completely in love with him, no no, I mean the show. Am I the only one staying up late to watch this? Can I just say: kudos Carson. What woman doesn’t need to look in a mirror and see her beautiful body for what it is instead of what she thinks it should be?
I became acquainted with Amy’s Etsy shop, Vintage Fern, after receiving a stellar blog-swap package from her. I was so smitten with the goodies she had made that, when I needed 4 birthday gifts for a whole gaggle of nieces, I knew exactly where to turn. Vintage Fern specializes in, well, vintage fabrics and styles that manifest themselves in aprons, dresses, handbags, and even children’s t-shirts with precious applique like birdies, butterflies, or monsters & aliens. She makes fun pieces…

Blossom. $14.99 {via Pinkbench} Is there a mama out there who doesn’t need the help of hair accessories in the hustle and bustle of her daily life? I for one, need all the help I can get. I love Pinkbench for their plentiful stylish headbands, which happen to be adjustable, so they fit mother and daughter alike. My favorites include blossom and brown garden, but it’s hard to choose just one to love. Brown Garden. $14.99 1 1/2″ fabric headband.
I graduated with a degree in English and I love all things to do with the language! I work in the graphic design field, so I love finding things with great design. Last year, I discovered this seller on Etsy who combines the two into absolutely beautiful and educational greeting cards. My brother bought me the whole set for my birthday, and I was planning on using them in a baby’s room one day but I wasn’t expecting (and didn’t…

We’re going here for the weekend for one last camping trip before the snow. Enjoy your weekend everyone! See you Monday with the winners of the back-to-school giveaway extravaganza. {Photo found here}.
Seven years ago today my little Miss P was not quite 2 years old. The news coverage surrounding the horrid events of the morning in New York on September 11th, 2001 were too much for me to bear while contemplating what the future might hold for my little child. I was terrified, horrified, and shattered. For myself, for the victims, for their families, for the future of my children, for the future of my country. And here we are seven…
