Leave Me B Collection

It’s pregnant season in my family. Both my sister and sister-in-law are pregnant with their first and both due 3 weeks apart in October. Needless to say it’s going to be a long hot miserable summer. At least they can look cute. Leave Me B is a trendy shop that offers fun maternity tops that poke fun at all those ridiculous comments and questions thrown at pregnant mamas. Not just a maternity shop, Leave Me B carries a first-rate selection of non-pregnant clothing and gifts and baby gear.
I was lucky enough to get a tee for my sister in law. This is Melanie in Leave Me B’s “All I Wanted was a Backrub” tank.

She is wearing it over a long sleeve tee just due to the weather but she loves it. She says it’s roomy and comfy and fits her style and sense of humor perfectly. My brother thinks it hysterical but what guy wouldn’t.
If you’re looking for something for the New Dad, the “Don’t Touch Her Belly” tee is perfect. It shows dad’s support while remaining silent. What about the new babies in your family? Onesies and burp clothes are necessities and make perfect shower gifts even for the mom who has everything.

Here is one I want for ME. If you know me you know that Friday is Margarita night (and sometimes Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday)If you’re looking for stuff to make you laugh, lighten up and enjoy your surroundings during every level of life, Leave Me B is the place to shop.

Summer Party: LTDchix


LTD Chix was founded in 2006 by two moms and the company is devoted to producing alternative and fun wear for families. LTD Chix recently launched “Living The Dream,” a new line of custom t-shirts designed exclusively for modern moms with a sense of humor!

The shirts are 100% cotton and feature a wide variety of tongue-in-cheek illustrations depicting the daily trials of today’s mom.

I received the Laundry Shirt. I have no idea how my family goes through so many clothes in a day, maybe it is because they are all male and like to get dirty ! So the Laundry Shirt is perfect for me ! I always wear t-shirts, what a great way to show mommy pride ! When it come’s to being a mother, who doesn’t love a little humor or sarcasm.

From their site : “Funny how the bigger kids get, the bigger their clothes become and the more laundry you have to do. Sometimes you feel like you can never catch up — but it’s better than finding your little one fishing for socks in the hamper. And who doesn’t love the fresh smell of clean laundry, right? Right! ”

The shirt fit was great ! The material is a thinner material and is perfect for those warm spring and summer days.The shirt washed up amazing and looks the same as it did when it arrived even after a few washing.

A few of the other shirts that caught my eye were the Cleaning Mom, Multi – Tasking Mom and especially with my boys the Referee Mom shirt.

BUY
You can order from the LTD Chix online site. For a limited time til mothers day the great LTD Chix tees are being shipped free.

Etsy Finds-Yellow like the Sun

I’m using the past few days of FANTABULOUS weather as inspiration. The sun was shining, the kids were outside playing and the central air was running.

How GORGEOUS would this bright pendant look over a white tee and jeans. The Sunflower Freckles Necklace is an original illustration adhered to a lightweight wooden pendant and comes with an 18inch sterling silver serpentine chain. Lonesome Road Studio will donate 10% of the purchase price to Vanishing Bees, an organization researching the disappearance of the Honey Bee.

Sweet and Simple. This explains this handbag exactly. This BagsbyCollette pleated bag is made with Heather Bailey Freshcut Floral Finery Curry and Amy Butler Lotus Full Moon Polka Dot designer materials for a quality look. Big enough for date night necessites this bag is casual enough for a big-screen movie and stylish enough for Cosmos with the girls.

Who wouldn’t want to hang their simple terrycloth bathrobe on this spectacular Mosaic Wall Hook. Maybe you’d prefer to use this for house keys or purses or a sweater. This would look great in my bedroom so I would use it for my robe. Handmade by Smashgirl, from a yellow floral dinner plate this is a bright accent that would look great in any room.

What man wouldn’t look sexy with this Think Positive buckle peeking out from his shirt. Antiqued nickel over an original image is a bold but stylish accesory for men and women.
Every baby needs a luxurious blanket for early morning stroller walks. LottieLouDesigns brings together soft and comfy minky with Heather Bailey designer material to produce a colorful blankie any parent would love to cover their child with.

Paired with simple brown sandals or worn over skinny jeans this Cathedral Flowers slip dress is a perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. Made from remnants and vintage materials this makes for a “green” garment. Green is always good!

I hope you enjoyed all of my yellow picks today. Visit these Etsy artists and others. I love the amazing talent in these shops and keep checking in, I’ll have other “themes” to discuss.




Winner Chosen: Coco Bonbons Evaluation

Andrea, April 28, 2009 3:53 PM 45
I follow on Twitter and tweeted~

One of the greatest things about having young kids is the sweet clothing that can be found. Dressing my kids in innocent and endearing clothing makes me feel like they will stay little forever.

Coco Bonbons is a clothing line produces high quality, whimsical and unique clothing for children. I fell in love with the details at first; buttons, ribbons, appliqués and of course CUPCAKES. I have a love of cupcakes and Coco Bonbons just sucked me in with their Josie collection, so of course that is what I picked out for Shae. I was shocked to find items in Shaun’s size though; he is an extremely tall boy. It’s hard to find boyish clothes for a 6 year old who looks like an 8 year old. Their Clark collection was a perfect fit for his cool style but innocent age.

Coco Bonbons was started by Coco Kyriopoulos, mom to Charlie and Phoebe. After a 12 year career in the corporate world Coco made the jump to kidswear. With her love of children as her inspiration each exceptional design is named for a special child in her life, her own and her friend’s children.

Win a gorgeous outfit from Coco Bonbons for your little one. Visit their online shop and tell me your favorite Spring 09 collection and size needed.

Count me in
matternu@aol.com

Tees are my favorite kinda clothes. As some of you know I’m a daycare provider so no more heels and blouses for me. I wear comfortable clothes like sweats, jeans, tees and flip-flops. To switch things up a bit I wear a funny tee even though the kids can’t read the parents at the bustop can. I just got this one in honor of Earth Week from my friends at NachoMamaTees. Yes that’s me, I don’t normally show myself but this is a MOMMY article. If you’re looking for funny and INEXPENSIVE tees for adults and teens this is the place to go. The quality is spot on and their selection is growing. Yes some shirts might be offensive but that’s my kind of humor sometimes. There is something for everyone, political humor, classic TV and Movies and Pop Culture. Here is one of my faves because it’s just like me, it just takes a little something to pretty me up LOL.

Of course I have something special for all of you! NachoMamaTees wants to give you a shirt of your choice.

Winner Chosen: Baby Eggi Solution

oona., May 4, 2009 11:24 PM 126
I signed up for the newsletter and would love to surprise my 3 year old nephew with some sweet, soft clothes from Baby Eggi!
Thanks! foxsquirrelrabbit at gmail dot com

Are you looking for clothing for your babies and toddlers that are more than just unique and stylish? Do you want to buy from a company with a conscience? Baby Eggi is committed to creating a better environment for our children to grow. Not only do they design the cutest apparel for little ones they aid charity organizations dedicated to support the child of today and tomorrow.

When I opened the gift pack from Baby Eggi I literally squealed with delight. The colors were brilliant and the designs were one-of-a-kind. Shae received 2 adorable dresses, one of which she wore for our Easter Egg Hunt (this picture doesn’t do it justice) and my 3 year old buddy Marco received 2 tees that he LOVED. The colors looked so good on him and he thought the T-Rex was way cool!

Founders (and sisters), Jennifer and Julie come from high-demand and high-stress backgrounds in fundraising and fashion. Using their children and the desire to work together they teamed up and Baby Eggi was hatched. They knew they wanted to do more than design clothing though. Working with Artists for a New South Africa and Kids Courage Foundation, both non-profit organizations, Baby Eggi donates 20% of their net proceeds to these children’s charities. With prices ranging from $12-$36 and always cute things on sale this is a designer line that is reachable for all not just their celebrity client line up.

Renowned tattoo artist Mark Mahoney has brought his artistry into Baby Eggi with his detailed designs. His work can only be seen on the skin of Angelina Jolie, Bruce Willis, Johnny Depp and many others. This is Mark’s first venture into children’s fashion and I must say he’s doing a really good job. The images are cheerful and expressive but not infantile like some other children’s wear.

Do you love Baby Eggi as much as I do? Want to win some goodies for yourself? Baby Eggi is giving a LookWhatMomFound reader a fabulous gift pack of clothing your little one.

Mandatory Entry: Visit Baby Eggi and sign up for their e-newsletter (top right hand corner). Come back, tell me you did that and ALSO tell me who you want to win this amazing prize for include gender and size.

Sk8Grl is about More than just Clothes

Being the mom to a teenage girl I have to be conscious of the message that clothing designers send to the market. Sexy isn’t a message I read to well. I’ve found a unique alternative that fits Sabreena’s lifestyle as well as fashion needs.

Started by Holly Lyons, World Cup Skateboarding Champion, Sk8Grl.com is a premier clothing brand created for girls who love skateboarding and the lifestyle. Sk8Grl is also one of the only clothing companies working towards building self-esteem and character in our girls. A Sk8Grl is someone who loves freedom, fun and wants to positively impact her environment.

“Sk8Grl is all about inspiring and empowering girls to follow their dreams, believe in them self and know they can have fun, stay feminine, and rip on a skateboard. Through community and exposure we can make female skateboarding bigger and better”

Holly Lyons was sweet enough to answer some questions from Sabreena. Check out what they had to say.

  1. What/Who got you started skateboarding? I got into skating when I was a teenager. My sister was friends with these pro skaters, so we would go and watch them at a mini ramp at this one guys house. I thought it was so beautiful and I have never been one to just sit and watch. I started dating one of the guys and he hooked me up with a skateboard and some t-shirts.
  2. Who do you look up to in the skateboarding world? I look up to Chris Miller a lot. He owns a successful company, Planet Earth and Adio. He’s a really good person, a great husband and father. He is also the smoothest and most graceful skater I have ever seen. It’s always fun to skate with Chris.
  3. How long do you skateboard in a day? Depends, generally for a couple of hours.
  4. What injuries have you sustained? Many….I just had reconstructive surgery on my wrist, I have torn my mcl on both knees, my left knee twice. I tore my acl snowboarding and had surgery, and was also knocked out for 10 minutes and had a contusion in my brain. That was scary, my mind was skipping a lot for quite a while. I have broken bones in both hands, chronic back pain which is a lot better due to chiropractic work, yoga and exercise. I have had so many cuts, bruises and scrapes I wouldn’t know where to start It’s funny, but they were all worth it at the time and I don’t have any regrets because I learned a lot from every incident.
  5. What advice can you give to teen girls about their futures? Well, everybody is different. Skateboarding is getting bigger and better and there are so more girls skating than ever, which is so cool. I think if you love to skate then skate. If you are skating because you want to be sponsored or get free stuff then you are in it for the wrong reasons. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to withstand the injuries and keep going forward. You have to be tough because no matter who you are, you will get hurt. This also is the same with love, life, relationships or whatever. There will be the ups and the downs. Wise teachers say “It doesn’t matter what happens to you, it’s how you react to it.” When something happens it just is, it is your response that determines if something is “good” or “bad”. So, you have to skate because you just can’t image not skating. That’s how it’s been for me and trust me it’s been a colorful journey to say the least 🙂
  6. What is the future of Sk8Grl? Hopefully we will keep growing and making a positive difference for girls in skateboarding and in life. We are all about inspiring and empowering girls to believe in them self, go for it, and know they can always stay feminine and be strong! We aspire to be the ROXY of girls skateboarding and be sold worldwide. We want to have a very interactive website where girls can become friends and find out about each other, have girls design shirts and vote on the designs, then have them made and pay them a royalty. We want every girl to be part of the company itself through design projects like that and more. We want every girl to be part of the Sk8Grl world and know that their voice counts and that they can be anything they set their mind to. We want Sk8Grl to be the girls voice in skating!

If you board, ride, skate or just enjoy the lifestyle, Sk8Grl is an image you can be proud to wear. The designs are flirty, feminine, unique and stylish, something I don’t mind Sabreena wearing.
Learn more about Holly Lyons and her team and the message they are trying to share with Sk8Grls around the world.




Jellybean Apparel-Etsy Find

My pregnant sister is in for a rude awakening if he thinks she’s going to find super cute maternity clothes in her regular stores. I mean simple tees and jeans and dresses are easy to find but she’s going to want hip and fun clothing to show off her bump. JellyBeanApparel makes the stuff my sister is going to want.
These are my 2 faves for my sister!

I even love that they have hysterical daddy tees. My brother-in-law needs this one, it even comes in Phillies colors LOL.

Now comes the task of picking one out to buy for her.

You have 48 hours to respond to my email!!! thanks for participating.

What kind of clothing item would make a 5 year old run around the living room like a maniac then eagerly put it on over his regular clothes? SPIDERMAN JAMMIE PANTS!

WebUndies sent Shaun a great pair of Spiderman flannel jammie pants and a hysterical pair of Happy Bunny capri jammie pants for Sabreena. We love Happy Bunny, these say “Hi, Where’s your Off Button”. Needless to say they were so excited; my family are pajama wearers, if we have no plans on a Saturday we stay in our pajamas all day. While old sweats and t-shirts can do the trick the kids much prefer their favorite characters or fun designs. WebUndies has an ENOURMOUS selection of officially licensed clothing such as Care Bears, Curious George and lots of other hard to find characters.

Here is a little something about WebUndies:
WebUndies.com was founded in 1999 as a specialty online retailer focusing on licensed novelty boxer shorts with about 15 designs. Since then, the company’s product offerings have expanded and now exceed 1,500 styles. WebUndies.com also stocks lounge pants, robes and t-shirts for men; boxer shorts, lounge pants and pajamas for children; and panties, thongs and loungewear for women.
WebUndies.com is a family run business and employs many stay-at-home Moms who are working part time while their little ones are off at school. The company also offers affordable custom printing services for customers who are running fundraisers or events. WebUndies.com can imprint boxers, lounge pants, blankets, hospital scrubs and more.”

Do you see anything you like? Of course you do, that’s why WebUndies is offering an awesome giveaway for my readers! But they are making it extra special; they are offering the winner the choice of 2 of their favorite items. So now you don’t have to torture yourself by just picking one item you love the best. Items must be in stock, if item becomes out of stock during giveaway you will be asked to choose a replacement.

March 25, 2009 1:02 PM

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the weather is heating up and there goes your little girl running away barefoot in the grass wearing her RuffleButt.

RuffleButts are adorable ruffled diaper covers that can be worn under dresses or by themselves for those little girls who prefer to be free. They come in all sorts of colors, styles and prints so you can have a Rufflebutt for each day of the week and for every wardrobe change. My personal favorite is LIME, it’s a fresh spring color that would lend nicely to all the gorgeous floral dresses on the market.

For a complete outfit check out the beautiful swing tops and one-pieces rompers. Simple trendy tees for a more casual look are also available but aren’t any less cute especially when combined with the frilly cuteness on you little girls bottom. I can’t wait to get to the beach this summer so my little girl can wear hers.

Win your own white woven Rufflebutt from me!
