I've hosted a party for Your Shape Wii game, Orowheat Sandwich Thins and Shutterfly Photo books. Hosts get free stuff and your guests get some free stuff too and great deals.

A couple weeks ago, I hosted a Pull-Ups Potty Dance House Party. It was so fun for the kids who are thinking about potty training or currently potty training. We learned the Potty Dance, and some of the 2 year olds really did well with it! The kids colored Potty Dance pictures while the moms made some sticker/reward charts.

 Then we had some yummy snacks. Perfect party for toddlers.




Well I have 7 Potty Dance Kits to give away! It includes the Potty Dance video and extras, Potty Dance mat, coloring sheet, coupons for Pull-ups and other products, stickers and a rewards code.

Baby Shower Event - CSN Stores Review

So if you've read my blog before, you've heard of CSN Stores and how awesome they are already! Check out some of my past reviews of some of their products: Changing Table and Little Tikes Picnic Table.

This time I decided to review the JoJo Designs Pink and Green Mod Circles Laundry Hamper to match my other stuff for this baby girl coming!

Here's some of her stuff. I think it coordinates pretty well together. Still some better organizing that could be done though huh.

• perfect colors
• large - larger than the one I have for my son that's from JCPenneys.
• Easy to put together - just putting velcro together!

• Wish the wood frame was more durable or heavier.

CSN Stores offers free shipping to the U.S. on many products. They have over 200+ specific little stores to meet your needs.  Check them out now and do some one stop shopping! I've bought other things from them like a step stool, tie rack, and more.

Baby Shower Event - Reviews on my Recent Baby Purchases

VISION TO REMEMBER
She mad this cute little cuddle blanket with my chosen colors. I had won a gift certificate to her site. I really wanted a car seat canopy in this too! She even sent me a picture to make sure I liked the colors before she put it all together.

Check her Etsy Shop (rag quilts, patterns, kits, and much more)
Visit her blog
Fan me on Facebook
Follow her on Twitter:



CRESCENT CREATIONS
I won a gift certificate to her Facebook site too. She made this amazing hat for me with a detachable flower. Can't wait to put my little girl in it!

MOTHERHOOD MATERNITY
They had a great sale on nursing bras last month. Buy 3, get one free.  They fit great and the best thing I love about them are that they are slightly padded but with no under-wire! I was so not prepared for nursing with my son and just had to go to Wal-mart for nursing bras. All they had were unpadded bras or padded bras but with under-wire. I don't mind under-wire, but with nursing it gets tricky. Most of the time I just used a sports bra because it was easier, but probably not the best thing to accentuate the right curves or to feel like a woman.

While waiting in line forever - I also found awesome maternity tights! If you dress up often or go to church weekly, you so need a pair of these! Heavenly! They fit comfortably around the belly and hid my love handles =D Plus they were warm and you couldn't see my unshaven legs.

3B Creations
I bought this hooded towel through her Facebook site. I love hooded towels and she was pretty affordable compared to others and offered a great hooded large towel that my baby girl can grow into as well.

My Baby Cow
I won a gift certificate to her Facebook page. I used it on a baby cocoon. The picture below shows the correct color of it. Sorry that the next picture's coloring is off.

Cocoon and flower clip attached to it are fabulous - so soft and perfect color. Brandyce was determined to find me the exact color that I wanted although I was okay with settling with something else. She has great customer service and is very committed at making her customers happy!

The Crafty Moms
Have you heard about The Crafty Moms. On her Facebook Page, she is always doing Bids on her items. I was able to score a great deal on legwarmers, tutus, and more for bidding on her items.

Baby Shower Event - Sonia y Monica Review and Giveaway

Sonia from Sonia y Monica graciously sent these gorgeous bags and nursing covers to review and giveaway. It was so hard for me to decide, but I decided to keep the blue one.

I love the print! The bag is so large and thick, very durable!

It has pockets on the skinny sides inside and out. 

The flower on it is detachable so you could wear it on your shirt or a headband. Fun!

The nursing cover is also beautiful. The boning is thinner, making it easy to reverse the sides.

The adjustable strap is the best I've seen on a nursing cover and I have a lot of nursing covers. It's really easy to use and stays put.

Sonia Y Monica is giving away this Nursing Cover and Bag!

MANDATORY ENTRY: Follow her blog at least one of 3 ways: GFC, Networked Blogs or Email Subscription (PLEASE LEAVE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS SO I CAN CONTACT YOU IF YOU WIN)

Baby Shower Event - Susie Cues Review and Giveaway

SusieCues sent me this fabulous minky changing pad cover! It is so soft. It fit perfectly around my changing pad and my straps still can go around it.

My son even likes to climb up on it - he thinks it's a bed now since it's so soft!

The green color was perfect too! It matches my boy nursery stuff and then the girl stuff I'm slowly getting too!
My favorite feature is that I can take it off and wash it! Our changing pad underneath was getting a little torn up from cleaning it. I think I'll need to buy me another one of these too so I can have a back-up!

Susie Cues is giving away your choice of changing pad cover in these colors: hot pink, light pink, chocolate brown, turquoise, green, blue, white, pink with brown dots flannel OR aqua with brown dots flannel.  (She is currently on bed rest with her pregnancy and will probably be having her baby early so this is extremely generous of her to do!)


MANDATORY ENTRY: Her shop is currently closed, but look through her sold items her and let me know what items are your favorite. She does amazing work: custom bedding, changing pad covers and more!

PLEASE LEAVE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS SO I CAN CONTACT YOU IF YOU WIN.

Baby Shower Event - By Laura Design Review and Giveaway

By Laura Design has amazing crocheted items. Check out her newest item the ByLaura Band. So pretty and cute!

Her most popular item is the Bearded Beanie.

She even has a fun one for women!

I then wondered if she had child sizes because I thought that would be so cool and she does!

She let me review a Child's Bearded Beanie (fits ages 1-5). It looks so cool on my son! It's warm and really thick since it's made with two strands of yarn - perfect for windy, cold Idaho weather. When we go outside and it's windy, my son is always holding on to his hood and burying his face to protect himself from the cold, so this is the perfect solution to protect his face.

Not as cold or windy outside, this beard can be taken off since it's held by buttons (this option can be requested) and it can just be worn as a beanie. Also the buttons can be placed higher or lower or have 2 button holes so that the beard fits snugly on for extra warm protection. By Laura Designs is great to work with and can customize your order to fit your needs.

Adult ones are especially great for the snow sport enthusiasts - skiers, snowboarders, or even a day of sledding with your kids =D

Doesn't he look like a pirate with his eye covered?

My son thought it would be cool to look like Abe Lincoln too.

My husband and I think he looks so cool in his bearded beanie! My husband wish he could have fit into it.

ByLaura Design is giving away your choice of one child's Bearded Beanie!

MANDATORY ENTRY: Go to her Etsy Shop and let me know what's your favorite item in her shop.
EXTRA ENTRIES: (Please leave your e-mail address and leave a separate entry for each)

• Fave her Etsy Shop
• Leave a comment with what color beard and what color hat would you like?

Baby Shower Event - Guest Post by Crystal's Craft Spot

Hi Everyone! I am so excited to be here today. I am Crystal from Crystal's Craft Spot. Its my little spot to share my current craft projects, tutorials, recipes, and ideas I want to use in the future. You will also find a monthly craft challenge (going on right now but there is still time to link up), and online craft club, and feature Friday link up. I try to post something new almost everyday and I enjoy a variety of crafts. It is my way to relax and take a break from a busy day.

Since this is a baby shower here are a few of my favorite baby projects you'll find on my blog

Ribbon Mobile

fabric highchair

Keepsake frames

When I was trying to decided what I wanted to make for this post I kept thinking...what is something all baby girls need?  Headbands and bows!  There are tons of adorable bows out there but if your little one doesn't have much hair they are kind of useless.  So I'm going to show you how to make your own interchangeable headband. 

Here's one on my baby (she's almost three now!)

You need a pair of girls tights-the bigger the better.

Cut one leg off-above the heel and at the top.

Pin the two ends together

SEW.  You can also do this by hand and if you don't have access to a needle and thread hot glue might work.  I've never tried it so please don't be mad at me if it doesn't :)

Turn it right side out

Pinch together

Cut a piece of ribbon about 3 inches long.  glue one end to the back of the seam.

Wrap around and glue the end to the back of the headband.

That all there is to it.

Now clip all your cute bows onto the ribbon.

It makes it easy to accessorize any outfit.

It's perfect for your tiny newborn

and will continue to grow with your baby.

Thanks for having me today.  Its been a lot of fun.  Stop by my blog anytime.  I love meeting new friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks so much Crystal! I'm hoping to participate in March's Craft Club project. Love this interchangeable headband. I have tons of bows now, but now I'm worried my little girl won't have any hair so this will be perfect!
