Made in the USA: Katydid Collection (Review & Giveaway)

katydidcollection.jpg

Faith is our winner! Before I became a mom, I shopped often for clothing for myself.  If we go way back to when I was single, entire paychecks would be spent on clothing and accessories.  Now, most of what we buy is for Emma, for the house, on food.  It’s funny how your priorities shift over time. As a result of this shift, I’m left with a bunch of stained, torn and severely wrinkled old ugly clothing.  It’s not cutting it; I want to be a stylish mama!  But I don’t have the … [Read more...]

JACA: Jus Animalium Culture Apparel (Review + Giveaway)

JACA-web-header.png

One thing I’ve always felt very strongly about is animal welfare.  There are so many orphans, abuse victims and a lot of misinformation when it comes to this issue.  The animals can’t speak for themselves, so it’s important for humans to stand up for them. Thanks to Jus Animalium Culture Apparel, you can start the discussion by wearing one of their fashionable, thought-provoking tees.  The company was created, “to help the American animal shelter in educating Americans in pet care, … [Read more...]

Let’s talk about light bladder leakage (Stride Everyday Review + Giveaway)

STRIDE_Everyday_LOGO-white.jpg

Winner - clenna! The very first sign of pregnancy my body displayed was having to visit the rest room every hour on the hour.  Then as Emma grew and put even more pressure on my bladder, the situation became more challenging.  I relied heavily on party-liners. When I finally had full reign over my body again, there was only a slight improvement.  The pressure was gone, but a simple cough or a sneeze did me in, and over two years later it’s still causing me stress.  1 out of 3 women … [Read more...]

Maryann is our winner – congrats!Isn’t it funny how we wear heavy coats, scarves and hats to keep warm in the winter, but we have the same pair of jeans on our legs that were a wardrobe staple in the Spring?  It doesn’t seem logical, but there aren’t a great many options for our legs. Dressing in layers can help. Cuddl Duds are nothing like that scratchy thermal underwear of the past.  Instead, they are soft, comfortable knits perfect for layering.

(Winner – Machell) My most recent discovery for funny t-shirts is Costume Squad.  Yes, of course they do also offer costumes for men, women and fido, but look around and you’ll see the tees as well. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of Back to the Future, the original.  It’s one of the best movies of the 80s in my opinion.  So I really like the Flux Capacitor shirt. That’s only one of many great finds in the store.  There are so many great 80s shirts. Last year, … [Read more...]

(Winner – Erinn) Another favorite resource for t-shirt gifts is NachoMamaTees.  You can tell by the store name that there is a lot of personalities behind these shirts.  Here you will find many of the same or similar designs to their parent company, CrazyDog. With those Jersey Shore kids being so popular at the moment, I’d imagine the Proper Fist Pump Technique instructional tee would be a hit and it’s under $13.00. Styles range from cut funny to offensive, so you’ll have to … [Read more...]
