FInally...a review & giveaway!!

I know that this one has been a long time coming. But when my hubby tells me he's coming home for a weekend from training I get a little side tracked with house-cleaning on Fridays and then my blog falls behind. I so sorry!

Anyway, here's the review & giveaway you've been waiting for!

I contacted May about her wonderful organizers from her Etsy shop. I was in desperate need of something to keep all my store coupons and my shopping lists together without making my purse one huge mess. It was a challenge to say the least. But then I found this organizer, and I just HAD to have it!It comes with a notepad and pen all set for you to start your list-making! There's two pockets on each side (on the right side they're behind the notepad) and a clear pocket on the bottom left...perfect for carrying your ID if you don't want to take a full purse!She's got TONS of great items in her shop...purses, pillow covers, organizers and so much more. And since May is so great, she sent me this gadget cozy to offer up to one of you lucky readers! It's great for a cell phone, ipod, Blackberry...anything that will fit! And the pockets are quilted for extra protection for your gadget. I want one of these to carry my phone and keys when I hit the beach!

Here's how to enter:
Head on over to May's shop and pick your favorite item, then come back here and leave me a comment. Be sure to give me your contact info if I don't already have it so that I can send the gadget case on to the winner!

One post per person please. Winner will be chosen on Thursday, 12 Aug. Hurry on over before it's too late!

Friday Finds on Etsy: LillyBella Bows- Review & Giveaway

This one is for all of you with little girls. I know that when I found out we were having a little princess after having 2 boys, I was so thrilled. I immediately started searching for headbands and bows for her little head. Every portrait we have of her she has something in her hair. I just couldn't resist!

Before I started making bows to sell, I found KC on Etsy...she had another shop at the time but the quality of bows has not changed a bit. Her new shop, LillyBella Bows, is definitely one of my favorite places to browse. And even though I make alot of Sophia's hair accessories, I still purchase from this gem of a lady because I just can't stay away. That;s how much I love her and her items!

Here's some of my favorites:

Sophia has this monkey bow and when she wore it the other day we got a million compliments. Trust me when I say you won't be disappointed!

And since KC is seriously a sweetheart, she has offered up a $20 gift certificate to one of my lucky readers! This is NOT a giveaway you want to miss out on!!

Here's how to enter:

Friday Finds on Etsy: Review & Giveaway!!

I have been wanting to resurrect my Friday Finds on Etsy posts for awhile now, but life keeps getting in the way. But boy oh boy this one was worth the wait...trust me!!

For my very first product review/giveaway, I contacted Pillow Sew Cute about their Ouch Pouches. I'm a mom of three active kids that are always seeming to get cuts & scrapes, and I can NEVER find the bandaids and Neosporin in the cavernous black hole of my purse. But after getting this product in the mail last week and putting it into my purse straight from the envelope it came in, I didn't have that problem anymore.

I was sent this Ouch Pouch....FILLED no less!!...and it has saved my bacon numerous times in the last week! When Sophia somehow cut her finger open riding a tricycle around Toys R Us on Saturday, I just reached for this handy dandy pouch and whipped out a bandaid for her booboo. I was a hero. When Jonah fell and scraped his knee playing outside at the park, I sprayed some Neo to Go on it and he was off and running again. The lollipop even came in handy when I was trying to bribe Sophia into behaving while we were at Jonah's dr's appointment on Monday.

I don't know how I survived these last 8 and a half years of mommyhood without it.

Karen at Pillow Sew Cute is such a sweetheart, that she's decided to offer one of you lucky readers a filled Ouch Pouch of your choosing! Her pouches regularly come empty, so this is a great giveaway!

Head over to Pillow Sew Cute and pick your favorite style and then come back here and leave me a comment. One per person please. A winner will be chosen on Monday, 19 July.

And since Karen's so amazing, she's also offering my readers a $1 discount on any regular priced empty pouch in her shop!! Just give her the code "Jen" when you check out! Isn't she spectacular?? Now you have no reason not to have one of these for yourself!

I'm hoping to have more reviews/giveaways in the future. If you have an Etsy shop or know someone who does and want to do a review/giveaway, just drop me a line and let me know!
