Crocodile Crunch

A shop overflowing with adorable boutique items! Mostly for little girls mind you, but I did find a few things for my little man!

 I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win $20 GC to use at Crocodile Crunch so I can buy this blue elephant fabric box!

Another item I have my eye on is the ties and tie onesies - I am impressed that I can ask for different fabric and she is happy to custom make these!

The giveaway is going on right now over at Houghton Happenings!

What to Expect

I am at 19 weeks in my pregnancy (almost half way!) and sometimes I feel so lost as to what is going on with my crazy changing body. Not to mention how the development of my baby is coming along and what I can do to positively influence these changes.

Well, I have several friends who have suggested the book "What to Expect when you're Expecting." I've thumbed through it a few times and wished I had my own copy.I've been thinking about buying it, but kind of feel like it's too late now that I am already in my second trimester.

Well, here is my chance! There is a giveaway for not only this book, but the trio of  "What to Expect" books.Perfect!

I will probably invest in them at some point, even if I don't win, but it's worth a shot. If you'd like to enter you can find more details at Take It From Me! And besides the great books, What to Expect has a great website to track your pregnancy as well!

Oshi mat

Well, as most of you know, I am expecting in May! And so, I have been browsing the wide world of baby gear! There is always a dilemma about what things are absolutely necessary, what things would be useful, and what things are just plain for the fun of it.

I think this Oshi Mat kind of falls somewhere between useful, and..... SO MUCH FUN!

"Oshi mat has a wide range of uses ranging from developmental classes –like music class, mom and baby stimulation class-, to a travel mat, changing mat, play-date mat, outing mat, tummy time mat and many more!"

With just a few great patterns to choose from, I like the simplicity of picking out one of these mats. So many of the baby things I am in the market for require so much research. hahaha.

We don't know if we are having a boy or girl yet, so my favorite design is the giraffe pattern:

I am entering to win a mat kit over at Take It From Me!

Giveway ends 12/17.

Shabby Apple!

YEEEES! Discovered another Shabby Apple Dress Giveaway!

I've been watching Shabby Apple for a while now and compiling a never-ending wish list. There are just so many cute styles. I have put together my dream outfits for every occasion, and for every mood! Of course I am not a millionaire so I have pick and choose - but their prices really aren't bad for what you get, and I wanted to spread the word!
 Now that I am expecting I have been browsing their cute maternity section and have replaced the above wish list item with the new "baby bump" version:
 Of course, I do need a little color in my life right now. Winter is a little drab so I picked out this beauty:

I am putting them on my Christmas List for my husband to see, and hopefully I will find one under the tree!

Right now Shabby Apple is generously offering a giveaway of their Bali Ha'i dress over at Houghton Happenings. Giveaway ends 12/27!

Bepe Baby

Another great place to find baby footwear - you know I can't resist! This time it is slippers from Bepe Baby.That's not all they make, so if you are looking for other baby accessories, be sure to go browsing at their website! Or find them on Facebook, where I found even more style options!

I know summer is over for now, but I love the bright colors all year round.

With a no slip grip, and a soft white fabric, these boots are a definite favorite!

Simple and striped - how can you go wrong? They look so warm and cozy, don't they!?
