Boutique Clothes for Babies and Kids plus #giveaway

April 27, 2011 by

Spring is here and that means Shae gets to wear dresses, skirts and sandals again; she’s grown tired of sweaters and fleece. Her latest outfit from My Baby Clothes Boutique has ribbons and flowers and NO SLEEVES.

My Baby Clothes Boutique is an online shop for your little one’s entire wardrobe; baby hats and tutus all the way to boy’s suits and diaper bags. Shae’s Christmas dress and Easter outfit came from their great selection of dressy, ruffly, frilly and embellished toddler and baby clothes.

Their sizes run from infant to toddler; typically up to size 3. The few size 4 items that they do carry have been BIG hits with Shae. I wish there were more choices though, Shae might be tall but she’s still just 31/2 years old. The Mud Pie collection is my favorite but just not big enough for my big little girl.

A big shout out to their customer service too! I had sizing questions about an outfit and they were there to help with no problem at all!

Share Your Breakfast and Feed a Hungry Child

March 7, 2011 by


Today one in four children goes without meals due to economic hardships or poverty. These families are food insecure; inability to obtain sufficient nutrition. As a mom I try my best to provide my children the food required to keep their brains functioning and bodies moving.  Growing up I remember going to school without a meal in my stomach.  I don’t want that for my family.

Kellogg’s believes that breakfast can be a child’s best start to a productive and active day. Share Your Breakfast and Kellogg’s will share a breakfast with a child who needs it. Upload a picture, give a description or send a text and Kellogg’s will supply the funds required to a school to provide 1 child a nutritious and much needed breakfast.

Each time you share, Kellogg’s will donate the monetary equivalent of school breakfasts. Kellogg’s will donate up to $200,000 – the equivalent of one million school breakfasts.

Today I shared mine, Shaun’s and Shae’s breakfasts with Kelloggs. That will feed 3 children. A step so small but that will make such a large impact on a child’s life. Help me and Kellogg’s feed the children by participating in Share Your Breakfast today and each day until the goal of 1Million meals is met.

“Buy One, Give One” Comforter Donation Program to Benefit Homeless Children

January 25, 2011 by

The Company Store today announced the launch of a Buy One, Give One Comforter Donation Program to benefit homeless children across the country.  With this initiative, The Company Store will donate a new comforter to a homeless child with every comforter purchased from their web site or catalog. As the children transition from temporary to more permanent housing, the children will be able to take their new comforters with them to their new home.

“We’re pleased to partner with charities nationwide on such a vital initiative,” says Dennis Warner, Chief Marketing Officer of The Company Store.  “There are a significant number of homeless children in this country who do not sleep in their own home, in their own bedroom.  The Company Store is committed to bringing some comfort to these children in need.”

According to The National Center on Family Homelessness (www.familyhomelessness.org), families with young children comprise a staggering 34% of America’s homeless population.  In a given year, 1 in 50 American children is homeless, affecting over 1.5 million children across the country and jeopardizing their health and well-being on a daily basis.  Numerous charitable organizations work tirelessly to provide relief and shelter to homeless families, and The Company Store has pledged to aid their efforts.

“Day in and day out, these groups work to deliver services and care to families until they can get into permanent housing.  We hope that the donated comforters will raise the spirits of thousands of children and their families as they work to rebuild their lives.” says Dennis Warner, CMO of The Company Store.

Fisher-Price Imaginext BIGFOOT the Monster Recap and Giveaway-CLOSED

October 1, 2010 by

I remember when I was a kid and toys were pretty basic and not a whole lot of fun. I would find myself getting bored pretty easily but now days toys are so high tech and provide hours of fun and entertainment for kids and sometime adults like me, LOL. A good example of a great new high tech toy that is limitless in its fun is BIGFOOT the Monster by Fisher-Price Imaginext.

We were lucky to have received BIGFOOT and I am glad we did. He is a pretty cool toy that comes with a rechargeable 7.2 volt NiMH battery and battery charger as well as a remote control that requires two AA batteries. One of the cool features of BIGFOOT is the remote control has symbols on the buttons which show you what BIGFOOT will do when you push that button. BIGFOOT shows a lot of emotion by being happy, angry, and sleepy. He walks and talks, chews and burps (he remembers to say “excuse me”), throws a ball and exercises as well. Who doesn’t love a monster that burps and exercises? Also, BIGFOOT is recommended for children between the ages of 3 and 8.

Before we received this for analyse Shae starting hanging out with an imaginary monster friend who ate with us and went places with us but now that we have BIGFOOT he is Shae’s new real monster friend who eats with her and goes places with her.  My kids love that BIGFOOT seems so alive and is able to do so many different things with the push of a button. My kids are easily bored but not with this as it provides endless fun and laughter.

If you have a child on your holiday list make sure you check out BIGFOOT the Monster by Fisher-Price Imaginext as he is a must have for this holiday season.

You can win your very own Fisher-Price Imaginext BIGFOOT the Monster valued at $100.  All you have to do is tell me who this would be for if you win and what other Fisher-Price Imaginext product you think is really cool.

My Job as Mom

September 2, 2010 by

It’s hard; whoever told you motherhood was going to be easy was a liar and setting you up for disaster. Early mornings, late nights, interrupted sleep, messy house, wrinkled clothes, no alone time; these are just some of the things moms look forward to on a daily basis.

Don’t get me wrong, everyday isn’t a whirlwind of laundry, errands and school meetings. Some day’s you’ll have sweet moments cuddling on the couch reading “But Not the Hippopotamus” 14 times or heart to heart talks about the difference between mimosas and margaritas.

Each day is different and brings new challenges, new obstacles, new miracles, new laughs and new smiles. With all the hard times and headaches also come overwhelming heart pounding love each time the words “mommy, I love you” is uttered from their lips. Watching them grow and seeing the impact they make on the world around is all worth it.

Parents and caregivers will also have the opportunity to connect with community organizations and resources at information booths hosted by the Museum’s partners including Kennedy Krieger, PACT: Helping Children with Special Needs, Parents Place of Maryland and the Abilities Network.

Maryland Discovery Days are offered twice a year, and admission is free for Maryland school students who register in advance.

Awesome Sunday In Baltimore

May 3, 2010 by

Melinda the kids and I were invited to attend MayFair at Port Discovery in Baltimore, MD yesterday. We love Port Discovery and Kate and Erin are terrific ladies, thank you for the invite today as we had a blast. Mayfair is their annual fundraiser which provides resources to families that are otherwise unable to attend the children’s museum.

For MayFair Port Discovery had a catered lunch and had a ton of activities for the kids like face painting, crazy hair and shriky dinks (do you remember these from when you were younger, I do). The kids had a blast and Shaun was really excited to get his face painted. The museum was not as packed as it usually is so that allowed us to do more than if it was a regular day.  I am glad we were invited to MayFair today because we had an awesome time.  Check out a few of our pictures below from our visit.  It was a great for a great cause I am glad we were able to be a part of it.
