Mooshka Sing Around the Rosie Doll {Giveaway} – CLOSED

June 21, 2014 by

About my Ruby

A couple of years back when I found out that I was having a baby girl I was beyond ecstatic.  Don’t get me wrong.  I love all my children equally.  They each have their own unique qualities  and are so super sweet.  Basically I just love being their mommy!   *grin*   When Ruby came along I just knew that she and I would bond.  She would like all the things that I liked as a child.  She would like unicorn figurines.  She would like the creepy looking dolls that survived my childhood and were saved just for her.  She would like those plastic charm necklaces.  She would like to collect stickers in a sticker book.  She would like to get in shape girl.  Okay are you ready for a shocker?  I was a child of the 80’s.  I know.  You weren’t really able to figure that out already from my childhood likes list.  *wink*  Yes, Ruby was going to be just like me.  Exactly like me.  You know what?  She likes none of those things.  Not. At. All.  She likes music way more than I ever did.  The girl seriously walks around the house singing all day.  She likes super heroes, trains, and building blocks.  Basically anything and everything that her older brother likes.  She likes baby dolls that are so different than the ones of the 80’s.  They aren’t even remotely creepy looking!  Speaking of the dolls that she likes…

Combine her love of music with a cute doll and what do you get???

This adorable doll!

Here’s my Ruby playing ‘Ring around the Rosie’ with her new friend:

Mooshka sent us her new friend and she has been having too much fun playing.  Banjo has even been joining in on the fun.  There are several “singing” dolls to choose from.  Each one just as cute as the next.  We have Lera and she’s perfect, because she resembles our little girl!

Nohi Kids {Giveaway} – CLOSED

April 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment

When it comes to my kid’s clothing I’m kind of a fabric snob.  It has to be soft.  Scratchy?  Not happening.  It has to be functional and easy to take care of in terms of laundry.  Who really wants to take the kid’s clothes to the dry cleaners?  It has to be cute.  This means cute fabric that aren’t found everywhere.  That’s why I’m soooo very glad that I found Nohi Kids.  For starters… Their clothing is organic.  Translation:  Super soft.  Next… Their clothing is machine washable.  Excellent!  Lastly… The prints on the fabric???  Absolutely.  Adorable.

See.  Told you.  Absolutely.  Adorable.

I think the above images are my favorite part about the clothing from Nohi.

1.) That fabric is too precious.

And…

2.) There are so many different styles all in that same fabric!

So you will definitely find the perfect outfit at Nohi Kids.

What did Nohi Kids send me recently???  These two outfits for my two littlest littles:

Sew Much Ado {Giveaway} – CLOSED

November 17, 2012 by 2 Comments

Ok, I’m not really a quilter, but I do try!  I love the look of a finished quilt and I love the fascinating combination of prints and colors that a quilt can embody.  I jumped at the opportunity to try out Sew Much Ado’s quilt pattern for Gathers and Giggles!  I had a beautiful pile of girly fat quarters that I thought would be great, even though I don’t exactly have any daughters yet!  And so this lovely little quilt is for my first unborn daughter, or maybe my first granddaughter :).

Note that my dimensions are a little off because I was limited by the length of my fat quarters.  My quilt turned out about the dimensions of a crib mattress, but following the exact piece requirements in the pattern will create a square quilt 40”x40”.

Sew Much Ado currently has six sweet little patterns available in PDF!

The Giggles and Gathers pattern is terrific.  Good pictures, plenty of guidance, lots of steps broken down to make it easier to follow, and neatly organized.  My quilt was a breeze for me (the non-quilter) to put together with such a detailed pattern.

If you’re looking for a quick and cozy sewing project for the cold weather fast approaching, I recommend this cutey from Sew Much Ado!

Sew Much Ado is offering TWO lucky ducks this same PDF quilt pattern for Gathers & Giggles!

Lalaloopsy Mango Tiki Wiki Doll {Giveaway} ***ENDED***

August 20, 2012 by 3 Comments

Remember that one posting about the cake auction for the youth at my church?  And how I incorporated the Lalaloopsy Mermaid Doll into the dessert creation?  And how cute it turned out?  And how it sold for $70?  Well, something that I didn’t tell you was that there was a little bit of a bidding war going on.  Two little girls really wanted that doll.  With the rules of any auction only one little girl’s parents could win the bidding.  I knew that the donations were all about funding the youth, but I felt awful that there was a little girl going home without the Lalaloopsy.  So what did I do?  I went over and told her that I would be getting in a Lalaloopsy Mango Tiki Wiki Doll for this very posting.  Also, that she could have that doll.  So…  This adorable  Hawaiian doll now belongs to one very sweet little girl:

 

My little friend Olivia was one very excited little girl to get her hands on this doll!

It sure did make me smile to see her so happy.  🙂

I tell you this story not to be all, “Look at how great I am”, because that is the furthest from the truth.  I tell you it, because it just shows how much little girls love, love, love Lalaloopsy!  Do you know a little girl who really wants a Mango Tiki Wiki Doll?  Well, then you better enter to win, because that is what is being given away from Lalaloopsy!

 

*This giveaway is open to US entries only.

*Winners are not notified through email, so you have to check back to find out if you won! The winner of this giveaway will be posted no later than the evening of Monday, August 27th. Be sure and check back then to see if you won, so you can claim your prize.

Mikarose {Giveaway} ***ENDED***

June 25, 2012 by 15 Comments

I dress up every Sunday.  Sometimes I dress up other days out of the week, but for sure on Sunday.  It’s the day I attend church.  Growing up my mom taught us that we were to wear our Sunday best to church and well, it just sort of stuck with me.  So I always wear either a skirt or a dress on Sunday.  Knowing this about me then I’m sure it’s not surprising that I own lots of dresses and skirts.  I’m not going to show you a picture of my closet, because it is just a tad bit embarrassing.  I might be a collector of clothing…  I just love clothes and buying them, okay?  😉   So you won’t get to see my closet today, but I will give you a glimpse of my newest dress that’s hanging in there:

Compliments of Mikarose!

Isn’t the extra detail gorgeous???

What else do I really need in my closet from Mikarose?

Well, for starters I love the look of this dress:

 

And this one:

 

And this one:

With this belt of course:

 

Okay so I basically love everything that is Mikarose!

 

I’m telling Audi that I need to order this skirt.  Like this week.

 One of my lucky readers is going to receive a $50 gift certificate to spend at Mikarose!  But you gotta enter to win!  🙂

*This giveaway is open to entries from the US and Canada only

*Winners are not notified through email, so you have to check back to find out if you won! The winner of this giveaway will be posted no later than the evening of Monday, July 2nd. Be sure and check back then to see if you won, so you can claim your prize!

{Giveaway} Lalaloopsy ***ENDED***

September 5, 2011 by 124 Comments

When I was a little girl my Nana and Boompa had the best toy box at their house.  They kept it always so I would have something to play with at their house and my parents wouldn’t have to worry about dragging toys over there for me.  My grandparents only had boys, so these weren’t the typical toys that had been around their house for ages.  They had to actually find girl types of toys for me to play with.  Nana found some really great ones at various yard sales which since it was the 70’s these toys are all majorly retro now!  My favorite was this plastic tree that opened up into a treehouse.  To this day I don’t know where that treehouse ended up and I have no idea who the manufacturer was.  I miss that tree!  At least I have the good memories, right?  Well, a little while ago Lalaloopsy sent me the Mini Lalaloopsy Treehouse Playset:

It’s the most adorable treehouse playset and totally made me think of that old retro one I played with as a child.  Thanks Lalaloopsy for bringing back that really wonderful, fond memory!  

Remember last week how Lalaloopsy was featured?  So you already know just how cute the dolls all are.  Lalaloopsy doesn’t just have the larger dolls, but they also have the cutest mini doll collection!  Have a look:

 

 

Told you they were cute!  There are actually so many more styles of mini dolls at Lalaloopsy!

And what’s being given away this time around from Lalaloopsy???  Why it’s that spectacular treehouse playset of course!
