To Gild The Lily Review & Giveaway


Let face it we are HARSH on our phones, add in kids, restaurants and the occasional fall from a pocket and your phone needs to be tough! Plus the price for phones are more than some peoples first cars. I admit to buying the "e-bay specials" they look great when your scrolling through, but wait the 3 or more weeks for your case to arrive from China or Japan and give it a week or 2 and you'll see why the price is so low. The last case I bought took almost a month to arrive and broke as I was putting it on my phone. 

Some of the many reason I love the shop To Gild The Lily.

1. Made in the USA
2. Made to order! You can personalize with names, colors and specifics
3. They are TOUGH. Made with hard plastic and aluminum.
 4. Black rubber sides. (white will absorb anything it comes into contact with, including makeup)
5. Production time is only 3-5 days!

Some of our favorites include. 





Prices are $16.99 and can be I-phone 4/5. That is cheaper than the ones they sell in stores plus these are personalized!!

You can check out all the options at To Gild The Lily's etsy.com shop

and become facebook friends

We were fortunate enough to receive 2 of her amazing monogramed designs with matching bookmarks




These cases are nice and heavy duty, my 2 & 4 year olds are frequent handlers of my phone and they will be able to withstand the abuse of little men. 


Love the grey chevron and yellow mix. The bookmark is is metal and the image is directly applied. It is permeant, waterproof, and the tassel is made of sturdy thread. Bookmarks are $6.99 and would make a great gift.


The overlapping design also protects the screen 


Love the blue and cream mixture. This one to me is very classy looking 


LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these designs

Thank you so much To Gild The Lily for the fabulous iphone cases! 

Great news to our readers, one lucky reader will receive a iphone case and a matching bookmark!!!

So last week I wrote about a recent family vaca I took with my Mom, Grandma, + hubbies and my minis. Welllll I have another fabulous vendor that provided gifts that we gave, since this was such a rare and awesome trip for us, I really wanted to show them how much I appreciate them and how special they are to us. I had this grand idea to give everyone first Annual Family Reunion Tees. And they were such a big hit!!!.

include....


Only $9.00!!!

This one reminds me of my sister, since she has a love
for all things Zombie. $14.00

I would love this as a work out tee! $14.00

How cute! I would rock this trick or treating $16.00


As for our tees, I told her something beachy and teal and she came up with the PERFECT design!!


Everyone got a shirt from ages 2 - 71, and sizes, kids xs to adult 3x. She was able to accommodate and design a logo that worked with all sizes. 
Grannie and Me
The Crew, and a memory we will have forever!!!

I soooo appreciate Christine from Wonderfully Witchy making such amazing Tees for my family! I know they will never forget and also have a tee as a reminder :)

Its A Baby Thing Review & Giveaway


Have you ever been to a baby shower where they pass around a advice book for the new parents? Well I have a great one, especially for mommas of boys. Stock up on dress up gear! That is something I never even considered when finding out we were expecting a boy, TWICE. 
There has been trips to Target in capes, a take out dinner trip with daddy, complete with a Zorro get-up, and sword, and I can't tell you how many Lowes trips we have made with "Superman" at our side. We actually made a trip recently to a sports store where my son BEGGED me for at least a hour for a complete set of football gear so he could be a "fighter guy".
It all started around the age of 2, and little bro just hit that age and I see him following in big brother's foot steps, who wants to dress up alone right???
It's A Baby Thing  is a awesome shop featuring Capes, Tutus, Hooded Towels, Masks, Diaper Cakes, Teething Blankets, Burps and Bibs, and Diaper Bags, just to name a few. 
Lara is the super sweet, creative owner who takes extreme pride in her work, and it shows. She also specializes in personalization by adding embroidery.

A few of our favorite things from her facebook shop, located --> HERE include...

Love this backpack (Maybe because we also have a Brody)
 $18 + shipping

Animal Hoodie $25 plus shipping

Nug LOVES his Raffies :)

How cute are these name banners! They would make a great birthday or shower
gift, then can double as room decor. 

Koozies are $10 + shipping


And our special Its a Baby Thing product we received is, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mask set
This set of all 4 masks is only $12 shipped

Leonardo- complete with knee pads on his elbow

Adi & Tuck Review & Giveaway



Its no secret little kids have huge imaginations! I can remember being small and building forts out of blankets sheets and anything heavy enough to hold them down. It always seemed like the blankets were too thick and the weights were never enough, so my sister and I spent more time fixing than playing.
 It was still wonderful to grab a flashlight, a book, a snack or a game and "camp out".

I was super excited to find the shop Adi & Tuck which has taken the fort kit to a awesome new level!


The Kit is AMAZING!!!!! 
It includes 2 lightweight sheets, with ties for easy use. 6 suction cups, 6 clips, a flash light with batteries included, a small bag for accessories and a large rocket bag (flower backpack for girls) for the entire contents to be kept in. 




The clips in action

Suction cups at work!


The boys love their new fort kit. It actually stayed up for a few days because they were having so much fun with it. 

This would make a great birthday gift, its unique, and helps kids to use their imagination. Also would make a great addition to Grandmas house.
 The Tent Kits retail for $35.00 which is a extremely fair price considering all the contents you receive!


You can check out Adi and Tucks etsy.com shop

And become facebook buddies 
Stay tuned because she will be posting some great deals and discounts soon on her facebook page.
