Jillie Willie Apron Giveaway

I have many websites that I really enjoy going to and looking at their new products. One of my favorites is Jillie Willie! Her website is busting at the seams with the most adorable items for women and little girls that I've ever seen.



In January I wrote a review on an apron that she sent. In that same post we gave away a Zipper Bottom Bag. You can read that post here. This is the apron that I have.

I still use the Suzie-Roses apron almost every day. Not only does it keep my clothes clean, but it also doubles as a towel! My neighbors all want one of these aprons. They've all seen me come out while still wearing it and they always tell me how they wish they had one!

This bag was the giveaway item in that post. Isn't it fantastic?


I could go on and on about all of their cute products, but I want you to be able to check them out for yourself. Her website is easy to navigate and you're not going to want to leave without owning everything in it!

Buy It!
The Suzie Homemaker Brown And Pink Apron is $33.50.

WIN IT

The Spunky Monkey Diaper Bag Giveaway

With being pregnant and having a toddler, I spend a lot of time with baby products. I love when I can find a cute item that makes my life as a mom easier.



I first told you about The Spunky Monkey in the beginning of March when we teamed up with a giveaway for a Diaper Case, Pacifier Gift Set, and Wet Bag. You can read all about those products in that post, here.

Stacy has her website packed with adorable items that any mom would want for their child. She has done her research and found everything from hooded towels to stroller liners! If you don't have any children in your house, this website would still be perfect for any baby showers or birthdays you have to attend.

Usually as a mom, we get stuck carrying a diaper bag that has ducks or blocks on the front of it. I think that we should all be able to have a sense of style while toting all of our baby's necessities.

Any mom would be proud to carry this Quilted Giraffe Print 3pc Set Diaper Bag!


Features:
- 15"x13"x5.5"

A Thousand Words Thursday #29

His new favorite accessory! He wore these on his arms proudly all weekend!

Jellybean Apparel Maternity Shirt Giveaway

Time has flown by and I'm almost 26 weeks pregnant with our little girl! As you can imagine, my bump is expanding and I seem to be getting larger every day. With this pregnancy my eyes have been opened to all the adorable Maternity clothes that are available to cover that bump



Jellybean Apparel has some of the cutest t-shirts that I've seen. It is owned by a husband and wife team that is dedicated to making maternity themed shirts for the whole family!

When they asked which shirt I would like to have for my review, I was at a total loss. There are so many fantastic shirts that I had a hard time narrowing it down. This shirt was on my list because I definitely laughed out loud when I saw it!


I ended up going with the Scroll Flourish Black T-shirt. Here I am at 23 1/2 weeks pregnant.


It arrived wrapped in tissue paper with a small bag of Jelly Belly jellybeans! The shirt was even more beautiful in person and I had to wear it that day! I wore it to a play date and the grocery store. I got at least 5 compliments on my new shirt that day!

I had wondered about what size to get it in because sometimes these run a little small and I didn't want it to be to tight. I usually wear a medium in maternity clothes so I did get the medium and it fit perfectly. If you're wondering about sizing, in my experience, Jellybean Apparel runs true to size.

Dads often get left out when it comes to babies. The pregnant mom gets all the attention because it is obvious that she is expecting. Jellybean Apparel has shirts like these available for Dad!


They didn't want the new brother or sister to feel left out, so they made something special for them as well.


I love sitting back and watching my dad with my son. Grandparents are so proud of their grandchildren and I know my dad would wear this shirt proudly.


If you've been looking for some comfortable AND adorable maternity shirts, look no further. Jellybean Apparel has a huge selection available at great prices!

Buy It!
The Scroll Flourish Black Short Sleeve Maternity T-shirt is $23.00.

WIN IT!!

Lauren Nicole Hand Stamped Mommy Necklace Giveaway

Mother's Day will be here on May 10th. Many gifts will be things that will always remind mothers of their children.

Lauren Nicole Monogrammed Gifts is a website full of amazing Mother's Day presents! There isn't one thing in there that a mom wouldn't absolutely love. There is even an adorable necklace that you can have your kids' names hand stamped into with their birthstones.

Denise from Lauren Nicole sent me a Hand Stamped Silver Mommy Necklace with Evan and the baby's names on it. It arrived so beautifully that I had to take a picture of it before I even wore it.


Tears came to my eyes when she sent me the first picture of it. That was the first time I saw the names of my two children together and the reality of having two babies hit me. Maybe it is just the hormones, but just one sight of this beautiful necklace bearing my children's names on it made me so emotional.

I got it in the mail a few days after she sent the picture and it was even better in person. I have worn this necklace almost every day that I've gone out and have received countless compliments. The only con is that the beads sway back and forth when you move and make a line behind them that is darker and slightly scratched. An easy fix is to take a polishing cloth that you can find almost anywhere and rub it over that line.

The 1" sterling silver disk can be hand stamped with up to 22 characters and spaces. If you need more space, the 1.25" disk is available and holds up to 32 characters and spaces. The necklace comes with 6mm swarovski crystal and freshwater pearls that match the color of your children's birth stones and is on a sterling silver ball-chain necklace.

Lauren Nicole has added many new jewelry designs for moms and other women in your life! They also carry other amazing products like this Monogrammed Travel Coffee Tumbler. I would love to have one of these!


I think these Badge Reels would make fantastic gifts for people that you work with! So many companies require name badges now.


Key Fobs make a great gift for any age! Young girls love putting these on their book bags and as they get older they can use them with their keys.


There is a gift for every woman in your life at Lauren Nicole! These personalized items are sure to make everyone smile.

Buy It!
The 1" Sterling Silver Monogrammed Mommy Necklace is $42 and ships in 5-7 business days!

WIN IT!!

My Mother's Day event began yesterday with 2 giveaways! There will be two more added today!

Totally Talented Tuesday

<a href="http://twoofakindworkingonafullhouse.blogspot.com"><img border="0" src="http://i669.photobucket.com/albums/vv60/twoofakind868/IMG_8000-2.jpg" /></a>

Talent can be anything from anyone you know! Did your child do great at baseball this week? Did you reorganize your kitchen? Post about it! To read more, click HERE

I've never posted about one of MY talents. I consider one of them to be how cheap frugal I am. I believe the only real reason that I'm able to stay at home is because of how much I save! Usually I only buy things that are on sale or clearance-unless I need it!

We also are able to have a lot of "stuff". I keep an eye out for garage sales that may have good deals and I go to huge consignment sales that we have here. You can find some great things that either look brand new or still work perfectly fine! For example, these two ride on toys were $10 each. These are for my kids to have at my parents' house. We have a new two seater one at our house, but there is no need to have new ones at my mom's too! This weekend I also found a great garage sale where I got TWO grocery bags full of baby girl clothes for $8! And MOST of them were really nice dresses and outfits. There were some pjs and clothes to wear around the house in those bags too.





Now post about the talent in your life on your blog and leave a link to the post in Mr. Linky!

Photofiddle Giveaway

I take thousands of pictures every month and they are all over my house. Most of those pictures are of my toddler. Every mom loves to see pictures of her children. Even if I'm having a bad day, all I have to do is look at a picture of my son and it makes everything better.

Photofiddle has some amazing Mother's Day Gifts! They started their website in June of 2004 and by 2006 they had already been featured on Oprah!

I have looked into getting some of my pictures done in oil, but it is so expensive. I was shocked with how great the prices are at Photofiddle! The possibilities are endless with what you can do to your pictures. There is even a gallery where you can decide what you would want done.

Photofiddle sent us a 12"x18" canvas of my son!


The quality is amazing! It came in a box that had the corners secured and a pair of gloves so that we wouldn't mess up our photo when touching it. I wanted this done in black and white so that it would go with the other things that I had up.

For now it is in our family room. I can't wait until the baby gets here and I can get a good picture of them together. I think I'll eventually do a family photo in the oil finish for our dining room!

Using photofiddle would make a great Mother's Day present for any mom. I think we all have special photos that would look amazing after they were "fiddled" into a work of art!

Creative Vado Pocket Video Camera GIVEAWAY

I recently took my parents' old home videos to switch them to DVDs. As we were sitting there laughing at ourselves, my mom kept saying that she wished we would have gotten more on video. In some places it was 3-5 months where no video was taken and we missed so many little things that my brother or sister were doing as babies. We didn't even have a recorder when I was a baby, so there was nothing of me until I was 6 and my brother was born.

I think that every family should have some way to record any of those little moments that they'd like! A few weeks ago, I wrote a post on the Vado Pocket Video Camera that you can find HERE.



In that post I told you how easy it was to keep this in your purse or diaper bag since it is so small. You'll never miss those cute moments with your children. I have captured so many moments on video since receiving this pocket video camera. They are pretty good quality, but they could be better. If you want the best, the Vado HD is also available.

I love that I don't have to worry about any extra cords or batteries. There is a flexible USB cable at the bottom of the camera that you simply plug into your computer to charge or share video. Taking and sharing videos couldn't be any easier!

Features of the Vado Pocket Cam:
-Records up to 2 hours of video
-2x zoom
-Amazing low-light performance
-Easy to share video
-Rechargeable via USB
-Runs for 2 hours before needing to be charged
-2" antiglare screen
-Available in pink or silver

Buy It
The Creative Vado Pocket Video Cam is available $99.99. With this price, there is no reason not to be able to capture all of those special moments on video!

WIN IT!!

The Soft Landing Kids Konserve Lunch Kit Giveaway

I am trying to find products that keep my family safe. With all the emphasis on things like BPA, you have to wonder what you need to be doing.



Alice, the owner of The Soft Landing, felt the same way. She is a recently retired RN who had a hard time finding safe feeding gear for her family. She wanted others to have the information they needed and be able to find safe items. All products at The Soft Landing are free of BPA, PVC, and Phthalates.

While shopping on their website, you know that what you're looking at is safe for your family. They carry everything from highchairs to coffee mugs!

The Soft Landing sent me the Kids Konserve Waste Free Lunch Kit to try out.


The Lunch Kit includes:
-Stainless Steel Bottle - Hand wash warm soapy water
-Drawstring Bag - Machine wash cold/warm, line dry or light machine dry
-Drinking Lids - Hand wash recommended
-Small and Round Food Containers - Dishwasher safe
-Organic Napkin - Machine wash, machine dry, light iron
-Food Kozy - Hand wash with warm soapy water

I'm not even sure how many of those plastic sandwich bags I went through as I child. If I took a sandwich, I used one for that and then another for any snack that I had with me. The Kids Konserve Lunch Kit has the food cozy to put a sandwich in and then TWO round containers to put snacks in. You won't need to buy plastic snack bags for lunches anymore! Since it comes in the drawstring bag, there wont be anymore paper bags either! Did you know that the average child generates 67 pounds of lunchtime trash per year?

What about those juice boxes or water bottles? Now just use the stainless steel bottle to put your beverage in. Think about how many juice boxes that will save each year! There is even an organic napkin that is machine washable so you don't have to send paper napkins.

Just think about all the money you'll save if you make your child's lunch everyday and no longer have to buy napkins, juice boxes, foil, plastic wrap, or those little single serve chip bags. All of that stuff adds up! Between buying bulk and using the Kids Konserve Lunch Kit, you will lower your monthly costs.

It does say KIDS Konserve Lunch Kit, but why can't adults use this? I personally think it is the cutest thing ever! If I still worked I would want one to carry my lunch in!

Buy It!
You can purchase the Kids Konserve Waste Free Lunch Kit for $40.

Aloha Friday

It's Aloha Friday again over at An Island Life! Answer my question and make sure you post one on your blog! After that, go relax because today is Friday!!

My question for this week is:

How often do you get groceries? Are they big trips or little ones?

I'm super cheap! I usually go once every 1-1 1/2 weeks and stock up on the BOGO deals and meat. I try to plan ahead make sure that I have enough stuff to make meals off of during the week. If we need something during the week that I forgot(or things like milk or bread), I try to send my hubby so I wont be tempted to buy a bunch!

Miracle Blanket Giveaway

I can hardly believe that in just 15 short weeks, we'll have a tiny baby. That tiny baby will be cold and angry about having to leave my warm womb. I have the next best thing ready for her!



I was first introduced to the Miracle Blanket back in January when I posted this review and giveaway.

I didn't have one with my first and I wish that I had. He was always coming loose from his blanket and I couldn't find a good solution. With the Miracle Blanket there are no buttons, snaps, knots, or Velcro for you to mess with! After only a few simple steps, your baby will be swaddled tightly.

Some features of the Miracle Blanket include:
-Made of 100% cotton
-Helps ease fussiness for ANY baby
-Helps prevent facial scratches
-One Size fits all up to four months
-Stops Colic
-Helps baby sleep

The website is filled with happy moms wanting to share their success story! Everyone I know says that they are a lifesaver. I think I need at least three so that I will always have a clean one handy!

I would have done anything for more sleep in those early months. The Miracle Blanket provides a more comfortable environment for baby and they are able to rest better. If your baby is getting more sleep, so are you!

Buy It
You can purchase a Miracle Blanket in many great colors for $29.95!

A Thousand Words Thursday #28-Beach

I was searching for a picture for this week and found this one. I had completely forgotten about it-but I love it! This was during our July 4th beach trip last year so he was 11 months old!

Celebrate Earth Day With Scotch-Brite Greener Clean

I'm sure by now most of you are aware that it is Earth Day. We're all trying to find easy ways to make the switch to a "greener" lifestyle. Using green products for your spring cleaning would be a great way to start!



With the NEW Scotch-Brite Greener Clean, you can start introducing environmentally friendly cleaning products into your house!

Scotch-Brite sent us these amazing products. They are all made from 100% natural materials such as bamboo, agave, and corn!


Since making the switch to these Scotch-Brite products, I haven't had to use as many disposable cleaning products. The biodegradable absorbent sponges even take the place of paper towels! At only $2 for a pack of 2, you will save money AND the environment.

The natural Fiber Non-Scratch Scrub Sponges and Pads are fantastic! They are just over $4 for a pack of 2. The rough part is made from 50% natural agave and doesn't scratch my dishes! I use them both to get the the really stuck-on messes off before I put them in the dishwasher.

My mom even took some of my Soap Loaded Scrubbers. For just over $2 you get a pack of six. They were actually made from recycled plastic bottles!! Just one 12oz bottle makes 6 of these! I have been using these daily on the pots and pans that I need to scrub.


I think we're all intrigued by the Biodegradable Expanding Soft Sponge. I love them because they take up less space when being stored. They come in a pack of for $2.50 and all 3 are smaller than one regular size sponge. They expand with water and can be used over and over again.

I am trying my best to be more environmentally friendly and these are helping me accomplish that. Let's face it, you have to use many of these products almost daily-why not make the switch with me to the Scotch-Brite Greener Clean Products?
