My Ying bag rocks! GIVEAWAY
Filed Under accessories, contest/giveaway, for mom | 417 Comments
I received this beautiful ying bag from Nankeen for review and I’m so impressed with it’s beauty and durability that I have to give one away!“Nankeen creates chic, fun, durable, and functional accessories for everyday style. Their designs fuse 100% cotton, indigo dye, and exquisite patterns using a traditional Chinese art form dating back to the Song dynasty. In addition Nankeen is committed to fair labor practices, environmentally friendly manufacturing, and the preservation of the art form. This historic Asian process is rapidly becoming endangered. Your support will help rescue and sustain this treasured tradition. Please pass along this treasure and share with your friends and family.”
Nankeenstyle.com offers a large selection of bags, totes, accessories, pillows and really cool accessories for men.
My ying bag is from the tote collection. I’ve always been a big lover of big bags. With four kids having a bag big enough to tote all our stuff is a must.
I took my bag with me over the holiday weekend and it was perfect for our snacks, magazines, and a few toys and my laptop fit perfectly in the padded interior sleeve. It’s the must have bag for us busy moms because the straps are sturdy enough to take a mom’s tendency to overstuff her bag and is machine washable. It’s definitely a bag I can feel good about since I’m supporting an endangered Chinese art form, the hand printed cotton will always be in style, and with it’s durability I can count on having the bag for many years.~Kristie

Hanes for Kids- More Than Just Underwear! Enter Our $50 Giveaway
Filed Under accessories, apparel, contest/giveaway | 621 Comments
Say the word Hanes and what do you think? Hanes products….all the important basics…underwear…tees…etc. I must say how pleasantly surprised I was to receive an assortment of kid clothing and accessories from Hanes. Who knew? My 5 year old and almost 3 year old happily “tested” out the various products- graphic tee shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, scooter skirt (yes, they make really hip and stylish kids garments!), boxer shorts, and a very innovative cool polo shirt. My first thoughts were how well made the products were- fine quality cotton, super soft to the touch and all stood up to outdoor playing and repeat washings. My daughter the comfort band fit of her “fairies” underwear and my son loved the thick and soft zip up jacket- perfect for the chilly mornings common here in Northern California. I was really impressed with the Hanes® StayClean® Cotton-Blend Kids’ Polo Shirt. Features include:- Cool cotton-blend jersey looks and feels soft and smooth.
- Details add durability: clean-finished placket with two wood-tone buttons; two-needle topstitched hem.
- Built-in protection resists spills, releases stains, so shirt stays new-looking longer.
- Ribbed cuffs and welt collar keep their shape wash after wash (thanks to knit-in spandex).
Great for school uniforms and you will love the price- 2 for only $15. You will be hard pressed to find any item over $10. Hanes for Kids is ideal for the busy, cost conscious mom- affordable quality gear for your kids. What more could a mom ask for? Well actually- how about a $50 gift certificate to spend at Hanes.com. Visit their user friendly site and tell us how you would spend $50.~Jennifer

Oopsie Dazie: Clips so cute you’ll buy outfits to match!
Filed Under accessories, for baby, gifts | 1 Comment
I have always loved accessorizing my daughters’ outfits with matching head bows and clips. Now that I have a curly red headed daughter bows and clips have become a necessity to keep her unruly hair in place.I feel that raising three hair bow wearing girls has earned me the title of Hair Accessory Connoisseur. I have learned that alligator clips and headbands are best. Bows that are attached to barrettes or clips that require two hands to put in and out snag and tangle hair. All it takes is one painful hair bow removal for your two year old to refuse ever wearing anything in her hair again. Save those types of hair bows for when your daughter is a little older!
I recently received some clips and a headband from Oopsie Dazie. The professional packaging and superb quality of what I’ve received has earned my seal of approval. Best of all, their prices are very affordable. Who wants to spend $12 on a bow that may end up lost or is only needed for a special occasion outfit? Oopsie Dazie clips are only $2 and bows are $3-$4. You can stock up on enough bows to match every outfit.
Finding the perfect clip to match an outfit is easy with Oopsie Dazie because of their large assortment of ribbon to choose from. You also can choose to embellish your clips with gems, buttons, or flower. The construction of the clips is very secure and professionally crafted. I like how the entire alligator clip is covered with ribbon so no metal is showing.
If your baby girl doesn’t have enough hair then Oopsie Dazie offers stretchy knit headbands to attach clips and bows. The headband is only $1.50 so you can afford to buy one in every color!Oopsie Dazie offers so many options that it is easy to create one of a kind clips, pony holders, or headbands. I especially love the trendy and fun fabrics they offer for their pony holders. They are truly unique pony holders.
Head over to Oopsie Dazie and let us know what you think.

Why Didn’t I Think Of That?
Filed Under accessories, for baby, for mom | Leave a Comment
If you have a baby, then you know how they love to put everything in their mouth, especially if it is something attached to mom. My kids were always tugging on my necklaces and trying to put them in their mouths. The very crafty ladies of SmartMom developed the innovative Teething Bling jewelry line. The pendants and matching bangles “mimic” real gemstones such as jade, but are made from non toxic and phthalate-free silicone. They look fab on the stylin’ mom, yet offer a safe teething device for baby. So unique- I have yet to see anything like it! The pendants hang on black silk cords and are available in 8 colors and two shapes (donut or heart). What a great idea for those moments when you need to keep your baby entertained in your lap. You can find the Teething Bling and other great products at http://www.smartmomjewelry.com/May
