Free Giveaway this week for the babies... baby daddies or mommies!

RATHINA RATHINA RATHINA!
www.rathina.etsy.com
Best $5 Ive spent in awhile...

Rathina makes these AWESOME light switch plate covers...
Remember in grade school? Maybe even high school.
Hodgepodging magazine clippings onto everything in sight?
Well, I used to glue them down to light switch plates to add a little spice to my room
Problem was, I used elmers glue and they frayed and peeled and were permanently sticky.
grossss!
So, needless to saw, switch plate covers were not my specialty... haha
But, they definitely are Rathinas.

So, I had completely forgotten about the idea of those plate covers...
until seeing Rathina in a chat room once.
Her splatter skull plate popped up...
Only $5
and my thoughts... OMG I HAVE TO HAVE THAT FOR THE BOYS' ROOM!!!!
So i got it and I LOVEEE it...

its adds the perfect splash of punk to something usually completely boring.
The quality is amazing...
VERY well made... the fabric is completely sealed, pulled tight, and not going anywhere.
They also come with an extra set of screws, just in case :)
She makes them in all different kinds of prints...
skulls (yay), sports, baby, Western, Astrology, food, and more...
for every type of room you could imagine...
and in ALL different plate styles...
The regular Single switch plate, Double, Decora, and even Outlet covers!
And I even bet, if you asked her really really nicely, she would probably make you something custom as well.
Shes super nice, super friendly... and you should scoot over to her shop RIGHT now to buy a plate.
Now, if you dont have it in the budget... (MAKE ROOM! haha)
But really, if your dying for a Rathina plate, and just cant swing it...

Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy Threads!! *giveaway*

I cut... I sew... I paint and write poetry... juggle babies... and obsess over the internet...
but when it comes to screen printing... Im at a loss...
I have come up with some great ideas, but never try it...
why? Because shops like Oh Boy Threads would make me look bad!
Their stuff is fantastic...
And my absolute favorite... their skull onesie.
http://www.OhBoyThreads.etsy.com
Stolen from their page because they said it best:
"Our organic infant & toddler tees are 100% certified organic cotton so they're naturally earth-friendly and buttery soft.Your little ones deserve only the best against their delicate skin. With a large rib neck for easy on/off, you'll enjoy the convenience of these tees too."
When she says buttery soft, its no joke...
I didn't realize how amazing Organic cotton is.
But its good for the earth, and the softest you can get...
I want a skullie t in mommy size :)
Plus, they wear and wash amazingly...
I tossed it in the machine in cold water
(Using my environmentally friendly laundry soap... YAY!)
Threw it on a hanger to dry
(and save electricity, because Im becoming a hippie)
and there ya have it... clean baby shirt :)
So like I said... Oh Boy Threads would make me look bad...
When I paint on t's or onesies... its very basic.
Stencil, paint & paintbrush... ta-da!!
But noooo... Oh Boy Threads has to show me up...
better than anything I could ever do...
Their skullie onesie has 2 layers...
rows and rows of skulls from top to bottom...
and then one big skull and bones over top.
In WHITE none the less!
How do they do it!?
I dunno... but lets leave it to the pros...
cuz whatever they do.. however they do it...
they do it perfectly.
I mean... look...
how cute is this shirt on this little man...

Adorable!
So adorable I bet you want one too...
Well, seeing as this is a giveaway blog...
You got one too!!
BEtter odds this week!
They gave us two to give away!!
Two awesome tops from Oh Boy Threads...
A 6 months Eco-Skullie onesie...

ANDDD a 12 months Fortune cookie tshirt!

Another Review! A lifesaver... FREE LEG WARMERS FROM KNOTTY BABY WEAR!

Hey all!
Thanks for always coming back to check us out.
I have the best readers ever!
Now that the sappy part is over, its time for the fun stuff!

KNOTTY BABY WEAR!

So, were working on potty training with izzaq...
every mommy... and yes, daddy's too...
know that its a challenge.
So you gotta find the easiest way possible...
When I was little, we ran around naked...
with a potty in the middle of the room...
it worked! So thats what we do with Izzaq...
But he has to be naked... if he is wearing pants, he has an accident.
Well, we live in Minnesota... and it doesnt matter how high the heat is cranked.
Those hard wood floors and the leather couch is always chilly.
These leg warmers were the absolute perfect solution.
They allow for izzaq to be mostly naked, with his "bits" to be exposed, haha
So, no wrestling off pants or underwear...
he's just always ready whenever he needs to go.
And best of ll, he doesnt need my help!!!
See!?!?

Most importantly, they keep him warm...
Theyre even great for Zavery too!

He loves to sit on the floor and watch tv...
They love the be naked...
and these leg warmers keep them pants less and happy...
They even work on arms to go under short sleeves!
Girls, boys... toddlers, infants, or as knee socks for a little lady under a skirt or tutu!
Everyone needs a pair of these...
and Knotty Baby Wear as given us a pair for you too!
Basic black and white skulls...
girls, boys... and unisex for the bun in the oven!


So thats it... you gotta have a pair... try to win them...
and if you dont, go buy em... $8 and she even has a ton on sale for just $6
they're so cheap... and SOOOOO worth every penny...
Everyone has that in their budget... I have 3 pairs! haha

Check out her shop...
www.KnottyBabyWear.etsy.com
She has more that just the leg warmers.
Recently she started making these ADORABLE t's and onesies...
with skull and crossbones appliques...
Crazy wild prints, bright colors... just amazing...

Leave us a comment about your favorite Item from her shop...
and why you need/want these leg warmers.
and don't forget your email address!

*Bonus Round... Get an extra entry in the contest by blogging or posting about this review!

PorkChop punk skull tshirt for your little PORKCHOP!

Okay, so I know I keep talking about how amazed I am by these items Ive been getting to review...
but its true... and PorkChopCrafts is no exception...
In my old age... or... growing up if you will..
I have been trying really hard to be environmentally...
(zaq calls me a hippie)
But every little thing...
Leaving lights on, letting the water run... WASTING PLASTIC BAGS!
they all add up...
and organic clothing is just as important.
Not only is it better for the environment, but its better for us!
No harsh chemicals... bleaching, etc.
Just natural clothes... and its soft as silk...
This week, Pork Chop Crafts has given us an AWESOME prize...
We have a 100% organic cotton tshirt...
screen printed with her own custom design...
a punk rock skull with a mohawk!

Its fantastic...
And look how cute it is with a BABY in it!!

When Zaq got home from work and saw it, he was shocked...
and for Zaq to actually be excited about a baby shirt...
is a pretty big compliment... haha
You guys should be EQUALLY excited...
cuz she sent me one for you too!
This week, up for grabs is a 12 months tshirt.
(fits my 2 year old too...)
So itll last you a good while!

Check out her shop and Leave us a comment
