{ The Little Girl's Garden }

If you don't have a little girl, you may be hoping for something in this giveaway {coming soon} for your little guy! Well... this fantastic shop has it!!

The Little Girl's Garden is actually an Etsy shop owned and operated by a friend of mine! I was thrilled when she decided to sign on as a sponsor for this fan-tab-ulous giveaway!

Here is a little bit about Jenny, store owner: {from her Etsy profile}

"I am a mom and I love it! I enjoy spending my time with my husband and two sweet daughters. But when the stars align and I have some free time, I like to spend it cleaning and crafting. My mom did a wonderful job teaching me how to cut paper, sew fabric and string beads. Now I use that knowledge to create fun things for my girls and friends!"

And now... for a peek at the fun things she has in her shop!

The Little Girl's Garden makes and sells adorable aprons/art smocks for little ones {and not so little ones - preschoolers}. They are perfect for eating, crafting, painting, playing, and dress up! They are washable, and reversible!!

For the GIRLS:


Love the bright colors! My daughter would love this... because her favorite color is... of course... pink!



This one is perfect for the little girl who loves to help out in the kitchen! So yummy!!

For the BOYS:

Great apron for helping Dad with his tools. The pockets are a wonderful place to keep his "toy tools" as he "helps"!

{ Little Hatchlings }

Today is brief window into another wonderful sponsor for the upcoming giveaway!! Introducing... Little Hatchlings!

First off, let me just say... when you click on the link to visit this store... make sure your computer speakers are on. I am just listening to this peaceful music while I type this post! You'll see what I mean when you visit! 

Here is a little about Little Hatchlings: { from their Etsy profile }

"Ever since I was a little girl, I have been in love with arts and crafts. I love spending hours in the craft store and when I leave, it feels as if no time has passed. I love the fact that you can lose yourself in your own creativity. I love the squeals of delight when my daughter sees the creations that I have made.

I have two amazing little girls. It is from these two kiddos that my creations come to life. My 6 year old is imaginative beyond belief. My 1 year old baby is very inquisitive and is still discovering her new world. "

Working with Little Hatchlings has been an absolute pleasure! Their talent and creativity is amazing! Want to see what I mean???


Not only is this headband absolutely gorgeous, but the model makes me want to have another little girl so I can buy all these cute things to dress her up in!!



Little Hatchlings has the most darling headbands {both elastic and rigid}. They are always up for custom orders too, so if there is something in particular you are looking for, just ask!



Little Hatchlings is truly talented!!

Stay tuned for tomorrow's spotlight!

Shillawna Ruffner Photography... Pure Genius? I think so!!

Maybe I am a little biased because Shillawna happens to be my cousin-in-law... or maybe it's because these are pictures of my gorgeous sister-in-law... but no matter what, these pictures are absolutely STUNNING! So much so, that I am going to let them do all the talking. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? So this post is worth at least 5 thousand!!





This last pic is my ABSOLUTE favorite!!!

Check out the rest of her f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s pictures here on her blog! If you are in the San Diego (or So-Cal) area.... you HAVE to let her do your family pics! She is simply the best!!

New Sponser!!

I have the pleasure of introducing a new sponser today.. and the best part is.... she is family!!! My husband's cousin Shillawna is an amazing photographer and mom!!! She has two little kiddos that she LOVES taking pictures of and has covered several weddings, parties, and various family photo shoots!

 Here is a sample of some of her work:

Shillawna has the great ability to turn something simple into the perfect photograph!


She also has a talent for being able to capture emotion in her photos...


In addition to already great photos, she will photoshop them to make sure you have options to choose from! 


She is located in the San Diego, CA area... so if you ever need a really great photographer I highly recommend her. Feel free to take a look at her blog here and browse all of her photographs!!

New Sponser

I am pleased to announce one of my FREE Sponser winners!! Malanda from Sippy Cups and Cloth Bums won 3 free sponser months! So here is an introduction to her and her cute blog!! [BTW - love the name of her blog!]



Malanda says: "My blog Sippy Cups and Cloth Bums focuses mainly on my dear sweet son, Monkey. He is almost 17 months old ( geez time flies when you have a child!) and he is the center of my world. He is your typical boy. He loves to climb, play with cars, and play outside. He also is very attached to his mama, well what boy isn't?!

I am a 21 year old part time single mama. I say that because my fiancé is gone for work in the Great Lakes for 28 days and only off and home for 14 days all year long! It was very rough at first, but now Monkey and I are getting into the swing of things. But we'll always miss Dada.

My blog also talks about the more Attachment Parenting sides of things. We are a cloth diapering family as well. I try to help my readers who are new to cloth diapering get started or answer any questions. I love to help fellow moms and dads.

My blog has a few giveaways thrown in there, but it's mainly about the ups and downs of motherhood. I don't (and won't) hold back on any topic. I started my blog to connect with other like minded moms like myself. Feel free to stop by anytime to keep up with the chubster and me ;)"



So, look for her button on my sidebar... and make sure you go and check out her cute blog. She has lots of great things to share!
