Bouncing Frogs Supports Breast Cancer Awareness

I was introduced to the wonderful company, Bouncing Frogs, about a year ago. I read about this family owned company and was impressed by their passion and commitment to creating high quality, luxury baby linens. As well as their commitment to having all their products made in the USA and providing their customers with free shipping on every order. On paper this looked and sounded like the kind of company that I would like to support. The next step was to check out their products.

I have had the pleasure to review their blankets and burp cloths in the past. These have got to be the softest material that I have ever come across for blankets and burp cloths. The quality if these products is unbeatable and after many, many trips through the washing machine they are still soft and beautiful.

Bouncing Frogs has so much to offer from blankets and burp cloths to gorgeous crib and toddler bedding. They offer a variety of colors for boys and girls, as well as optional custom monogramming. But beyond their exceptional products is their desire to give back to the community. And with Breast Cancer Awareness month coming up in October, they are giving back in a powerful way to help find a cure.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 

At Bouncing Frogs, we believe in doing well by doing good.  October is breast cancer awareness month. Each of us knows someone who has battled this terrible disease. We all need to work together to help find a cure.  Bouncing Frogs will go “pink” in October like everyone else. However, since this is a cause we are very passionate about we want to go one step further.


Bouncing Frogs will donate 100% of all profits we generate on any of our “Pink Products” during the month of October to Susan G. Komen For the Cure® 



Bouncing Frogs “Pink Products” include:


Please consider showing your support for a great cause!

My Baby Clothes Boutique Review and Giveaway

My Baby Clothes Boutique offers some of the most unique and stylish clothing from some of hottest designers. Their team searches for the cutest dresses, tops, bottoms, shoes, tutus, baby hats and more for young children. They then offer these items at incredibly affordable prices. I was really impressed when I saw the name brands for low prices.

The site is very well organized and allows you to search by gender, size, or style. They don't have an overwhelming selection, but they certainly have more than enough options for you to find something you love. They even have a nice selection of accessories, including baby headbands.

I had the wonderful opportunity to choose an outfit for review from My Baby Clothes Boutique. So I started a search for baby girl clothes and then narrowed it even more to look for things that are 2T-4T. I had a nice selection of outfits to choose from but fell in love with a dress by Bonnie Jean. It was a very summery print so I ordered up a size for next spring and summer.



The dress shipped quickly and arrived at my house in no time! I was very pleased with my experience from beginning to end with My Baby Clothes Boutique. And I was on there today and they had some really cute holiday items! I suggest you check them out if you are looking for baby clothes!

#Mompact: Review and Giveaway of Tilty Cup

I am so excited to be participating in the Mompact Blog Hop! Now is your chance to learn about new and exciting products invented by moms. Really, who knows a kid's needs more than a mom? At the bottom of my review you will find a link to the next fantastic review and giveaway. Be sure to click it and check it out!

I would like to introduce you to the Tilty Cup!
"TILTY cup's patent-pending ergonomic design creates a comfortable and natural drinking experience. TILTY keeps the liquid at an angle and allows it to flow to the spout with minimal effort so that your little one doesn't have to tilt his/her head back as far. TILTY makes finishing the last drops a cinch and creates habits that will help your baby transition from sippy cups to "grown-up" cups easier and quicker. TILTY comes with a snap-on lid and does not have a valve, which according to the American Dental Association is better for a toddler's dental development."

TILTY is BPA Free, PVC Free, Pthalate Free, made of safe #5 polypropylene, and is dishwasher safe.  
NOTE:
 Only TILTY Clear cups and lids are DYE Free.

TILTY only has two parts, the lid and the cup.  No valves to lose or clean.  Snap on lid can be put on with only one hand.

TILTY is dishwasher safe, top rack only.  TILTY has two drain holes to let the out water that collects under the angled wall.  TILTY is easy to clean without a dishwasher too.  The mouth piece is large enough to clean with a sponge.

Be sure to check out the Titly Cup on facebook for all the latest news!

Never Forget....


Yesterday we attended the 9/11 Memorial for my Dad's fire department. 
10 years later and there were still tears and heartache.
We will never forget.

Welcome to Fall!

I am having the hardest time believing that summer is over! It went by in the blink of an eye... and didn't linger for a moment. We are dealing with rain and cold temperatures for our back to school week!

But luckily we were able to say goodbye to summer over the long weekend with lots of fun activities. We went to our local parade to see Papa (my dad) march with his fire department. And then we went to the fire men's carnival. This was really fun because my daughter was so into it! She wanted to go on rides and play games. We had a blast!






So while it's sad to say goodbye to summer I really love fall! I am excited to pick apples and pumpkins, do all kinds of baking and cooking, and decorate the house. The smell of candles burning makes me feel comfy and cozy. So I'm embracing fall and we are gonna have a blast!

Do you have any fun traditions or activities that you love to do in the fall?

Flowerz in Her Hair Review and Giveaway

Today is the first day of school at the school I work at! I always get excited about the "back-to-school" season. The kids all look so put together with new backpacks, shoes, and of course, hair accessories! My daughter goes to child care in my building, so we got excited for back-to-school with the help of Flowerz in Her Hair.

Flowerz in Her Hair is seriously your one stop shopping for all your hair accessory needs. Whether you are looking for bows, flowers, headbands, or something special for the holidays.. you can find it at Flowerz in Her Hair. But, there are tons of places like that. What makes Flowerz in Her Hair stand out to me is the quality and price. Each piece is handcrafted with high quality materials and made to last. And with prices that you just can't beat!


It's becoming increasingly difficult to use my daughter as a model as she doesn't sit still and is going through an "enough pictures already, mom" phase. But she gets so excited when she gets new bows from Flowerz in Her Hair. She picks out her bow each morning. I try and encourage her to match her outfit, but sometimes she is just set on a color that doesn't go. It really doesn't bother me because she is creating her own style!
I would highly recommend you check out the fantastic selection offered at Flowerz in Her Hair. You will receive quality items, fast shipping, and low prices!!
