Review and Giveaway~Vintage Rose Wraps

*CLOSED*

I love hair accessories and I especially love when I find a hair accessory that my girls will keep in their hair. One that doesn't hurt or scratch their heads.




I have found both in these adorable Vintage Rose Wraps.




OOHHHHH I love them. I was sent 3 super cute Wraps in bright fun summer colors to try out.






These shabby and chic wraps come in any color combination you would ever need, and they add just the right flair to any outfit.





What's great is that I wear them too because they will fit my head and my girls. The best part about them is you hardly know it's there when wearing one.








The cotton fabrics they come in are so fun. They are soft, easy to tie and YES, they actually stay in! My girls wore them to church and not once did I have to adjust them or put them back in place. (Huge points in my book)





Today Vintage Rose Wraps is gonna make someones day and giveaway




a $35 Gift Certificate to their shop!!

Review~ Neera Designs

I don't know about you but my hubby is a teacher. And because of some sad and ridiculous reason teachers are crazy underpaid. So when I shop, I have to stay within a major budget.


I have such a great shop to introduce you all to today.


Neera Designs is packed full of beautiful and unique handmade jewelry. And the best part....everything is so AFFORDABLE!!


I was sent this lil' beauty to review and I just might not ever take it off:





I love the detail. I love the clasp and the sturdy chain. I love the bird!




I also love this pea pod:





And these would be divine paired with a new summer dress:






If your into bargains on great quality jewelry you have to go take a peek over at Neera Designs. Aaaand if your patient, we have a Neera Designs giveaway coming up next month. Sit tight.

Well I was totally inspired and I put it up on my family blog. Since then, I have had a few women who have contacted me and said that they have old prom/formal dresses of their girls that are all grown and don't use them anymore.


It got me thinking that I myself have several prom/formal dresses have been hanging in my old bedroom closet at my parents house for 10 years.


Now that I am in Young Womens program for our church, I was really touched by the idea this young girl had and I know how hard it is for our Young Women to find and or afford a nice dress, let alone a modest one.


So I have decided to go for it!! I'm echoing this fabulous girl and I am going to see if I can provide the youth in my tiny town a place to go to browse through cute, non skanky formal dresses.


If any of you out there have any dresses (be they modest or not, any and all sizes) and you would like to help these girls out by donating, PLEASE contact me and spread the word for me. I would love to have an entire closet full by the end of summer and even to be able to gather a dress for each and every girl who this would be able to benefit. Now and for years to follow. :)

Summer Want List

I have some fantastic Reviews and Giveaway's set up for you all, but for the last 2 weeks I have been more busy than I have been all spring. Lot's of capes, lot's of church stuff and a whole lot of mommy stuff!



But before I get back on the regular schedule I just had to post some of my favorites right now. My list of summer wants, if you will.







First, for me: A girl can never have to many swim suits for summer. I am loving the anthropologie swim line this season.





For the Kiddo's: Can't even stand how awesome the Spring/Summer line for kids is over at Crewcuts








For my Mr. : My hubby is the greatest, but to be honest he isn't the best at being careful with nice things. So, he is needing one of these leather Beyzacases for his iTouch.






For my taste buds: Yum! These just make me drool.



And for the family: We are gearing up to take a trip to this lovely land






And yea... I am that mom that wants to dress up her kids to wander through the park like we are one of the characters and I fell in love with these CUTE hair clips





Can you even believe those! My fav is the Rupenzel.


You can get them HERE.


There you have it. A small glimpse into my wish list. I guess at the top of this list is


more sunshine!!

Review~ Boon

I am a lucky lady and get sent all kinds of fun things to test out and review. Today's review is a little different. I wasn't sent anything from Boon, I just have loved it so much in my own home I wanted to make sure my readers knew all about this great company.
So I am just going to give you a quick run down of my Boon favorites:

.




The Squirt- this is a baby food dispensing spoon! GENIUS!! I wish so bad I had would have had one of these sooner for all of my older kids. My son uses this daily and it is so mess free that my big kids get to feed him all by them selves. Fabulous for car trips also!
The Fluid- The coolest sippy cup I have ever owned. So easy to hold and to clean. Also, spill resistant.

The Bug Pod- I think every kids tub should have one of these. We love our bug pod because it holds all the bath toys and lets them drain and dry. It also has a great built in shelf for my kids shampoo.


The Flair- This last one I do not own, but I want to. My current highchair is broken and this is on my list of have to have. It has no cracks or crevasses for food to hid in and best part..the tray is dishwasher safe and fits right in.

There you go, all you mama's out there. I give Boon 2 thumbs up!!
