Fun Children’s Mini Kitchen

by | Leave a comment

The best part of our children growing up is watching them explore. We had one toy that was a hit with all three of my children, one girl and two boys, a play kitchen. You can transform any corner or space into fun play with this mini kitchen from Ikea. When my daughter turned two she has received a kitchen set for her birthday, and loved it. She was always playing grocery store, and baking food. I would sit on the floor in the living room, and she would buy groceries and I would check her out, she would pay with fake money and put all her food in the grocery cart.

Role playing is a great way for your child to interact and learn and develop social skills.  My kids absolutely loved their play kitchens, my four year old son Brock still plays with it too. Grandma and grandpa have a play kitchen at there house and the kids still all play kitchen, grocery and cook on it! They love cooking for grandpa and making fun creations. How long did your kids play with a play kitchen??

Photo Sentiments Personalized Canvas Art

This is a great find for the photography lover.{which I am!} I found this Photo Sentiments Personalized Canvas Art, I have a great poem that I have been wanting to do something like this with. I have been wanting to use the picture of my mom and my brother {who passed away at the age of 20, just a year 14 months ago}. The poem is about a mother and a son and the love that bonds them. This would be a great gift for my mom who has been struggling since my brother died. We celebrate his life all the time, but for my mom she needs pictures of her past with him. 3742-11221

If you don’t have a poem in mind you can choose from one of there three poems. At Personalization Mall says that,  they will create a true canvas print, produced with actual artist canvas and rich archival inks to bring out the beauty of the photo. The finished canvas is hand-stretched on a solid piece of wood, suitable for hanging as-is (hanger included) or easel display (as shown). Get your hanging supplies from from my favorite craft store, Michaels.  These make great gifts for moms or dads, grandmas and grandpas for any holiday or occasion. Ger yours ordered today!

Personalized Laundry Bag Swirl

by | 2 Comments

Last year my daughter when to stay with my aunt, who is really like a sister since we are only about five years apart in age. Anyway, my aunt is super crafty and always manages to create awesome little projects when my daughter is there.  Ok so back to my story, the last visit my daughter had with my aunt she made my daughter a dirty laundry bag. The bag was with an “M” initial on the front for my daughter Michaela. It is the perfect size and Michaela uses it any time she travels or goes to a friends house.  I wanted to share it with all of you so I have been on the search for one since, finally finding one on Etsy.

I found one similar to my daughters laundry bag and wanted to share the love with all of you. The Personalized Laundry Bag Swirl is the perfect gift for the person on the go. The bag holds your dirty laundry, so you don’t have to have it touching your clean clothes. This would make a perfect gift for your college student that is headed off to college in the summer. Another fun idea would be to order a personalized laundry bag swirl with your gift receivers name on it and use it as the gift bag for their birthday present.

Sterling Silver Polished Oval Mother and Child Pendant Necklace

by | Leave a comment

When I had my daughter Michaela almost 9 1/2 years ago, one of the gifts that I had received from my amazing in-laws. One of the best gifts that I ever received was a Sterling Silver Polished Oval Mother and Child Pendant Necklace. I knew that when I had children that I wanted to get one of these necklaces, I just figured that I would have to buy it myself. My in laws did a great job in picking it our for me. A year after my daughter was born I became pregnant with our second child Coleton.

After I had Coleton my mother in law took the necklace to the jeweler and had their birthstones added to the pendant. I thought that this was such a great gift. It made the necklace more special because now it was a mother and child pendant with all my children on it. Two years after Coleton came our third child Brock, and again a birthstone was added to the pendant. These necklaces are the best gift that you can ever give to a new mom or an expecting mother. Do you have a baby shower soon? Order yours today!

Maternity Belly Band

by | Leave a comment

Any pregnant and expecting parents out there? These Maternity Belly Bands are a must have when you belly starts to grow. When I first found out that I was expecting I was excited, but bummed at the thought of wearing maternity jeans {they were not what they are now}. So I was destined to figure out how I could still wear my own jeans my entire pregnancy. When I first came across Maternity Belly Bands I was thrilled. Not only was I able to keep wearing my jeans the whole pregnancy I also wore the belly band while nursing.

These bands are the hottest maternity and nursing accessory. They are made to be worn under your shirt and over your pre-pregnancy unbuttoned pants to extend your maternity wardrobe. Post delivery, they will help you ease back into your pre-pregnancy pants and cover your belly while nursing. They are also great because after having a baby, for your belly to heal and return somewhat to its pre-pregnancy state, it is great to have a belly band to hold it tightly. They come in a variety of sizes as well as colors.
