Giveaway #4: CuddleStar

Now a days it seems like anyone can be a good photographer with an iPhone and Instagram, but Ashley - the mama who this shower is for and the A in AE Photography is the real deal. In fact... she and her husband were the photographers at our wedding. Talent, talent, talent.

She also does a lot of the photography for our shop... like our Camera t-shirt, modeled by her son Finn!

So, when I was "window shopping" on Etsy... and came across a super cute camera Onesie by Cuddle Star, I just KNEW Ashley would love it. Cuddle Star has some of the cutest onesies I have ever seen. Truly. If you are in to any sort of western style, this shop is for you. From Deputy Dude to Pearl Snap Vests onesies for the Cowboys (and girls)... to the Shadiator or the tie and suspenders for the "scenester" babies... This mama has got you covered. Everything you see in her shop is amazingly well made, down to every last detail. Even the little story in her "announcements" makes me love this shop even more... "Once upon a time there was a little girl named Adrian who lived it Texas. She loved to draw and paint. She wore tiaras, jewelry, slips on the outside of her clothes, and cowboy boots. She dreamed of growing up and moving to a coast thousands of miles away, marrying el Principe Rafael Medina, and having a daughter named Tigerlilly Goldfeather.

While some of those dreams came true, others faded and new dreams came to be.

Now Adrian resides in Austin TX, married a different kind of prince and has her el Princepe Rafael Medina in the form of a son. Thorough all life’s adventures and changes, Adrian never let go of her love for quirky fashion. Cuddlestar came to be with the birth of her son."

Its so true. Just because we have kids doesn't mean we have to give up that unique sense of style. I can promise you that in the 5 years of my oldest son's life, he has never wore an outfit with teddy bears or rubber duckies... and the only choo choo train shirt he has is an awesome one with the smoke stack letting out puffs of skull and crossbones shaped steam. And like Adrian, if I couldn't find it in a store, I made it myself... (and also like Adrian, that inspired my store)  Im so happy to find yet another amazing Etsy shop like Cuddlestar that has awesome style and high quality... and you should too! Why? Because if you're lucky, you could be the winner of a super duper cute piece from her shop! They were so sweet to be sending Ashley this insanely adorable camera onesie for her little man. And lucky her because this is one of the last ones in this style!

The winner of this giveaway will get to choose their prize between a tie vest in brown or turquoise, or a tie suspenders in black or brown, or a deputy dude... size 0-3m, 3-6m, 6-12m or 12-18m.

This burp rag above, and a matching Newborn size onesie (with the heart shaped applique) This set is a $20 value... and a lucky snag for the winning mama (&baby)...

Baby Blogging Bash! Giveaway #5! SugarBabyLove!

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this shop... Im So exited to share this giveaway with you guys. I found this Sugar Baby Love on etsy last month and i am SO sad I did not find it sooner.... How does such an adorable AND affordable shop have so few sales?! I dunno, but hopefully we can help change that...
Sugar Baby Love has some of the cutest onesies I have ever seen... AND they're really well made...

I love that she uses great quality ringer onesies for bases... and the best quality silk screens... it really makes them even more adorable and stand out from the usual boring gerbers that you find on etsy... and best of all, her designs are totally unique... like the pinstripe bow tie onesie... could this be any cuter!?

 I have been looking into wholesaling onesies for the RBB website... maybe these are the winner... But there are so many cute ones I dont know how i would choose!!!

Mrs. Aymee Danger was given this one (below) for her baby shower gift, and i gotta be honest, i just CAN'T WAIT to see it on Maddie... Its such a fun & adorable design... And just $12 for all this cuteness! She also has a 3 for $30 option... Total steal... just $10 each!!

And one lucky winner of the giveaway gets this one in a size 6/12 months! I LOVE IT, and in my head... you could totally rock it for either gender... this with a cute little jean skirt and some leggings would be ADORABLE! Girls can wear blue too!!!

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!
www.knottybabywear.etsy.com

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!
Leave us a second comment with the link to wear you posted about it. (myspace, blog, facebook, etc.)

Thanks and good luck!

Review Number Two! Rockin Mama BG

Here we go again!
Review number two and were in LOVE...

http:/www.RockinMamaBG.etsy.com

Super cute onesies...
Super cheap onesies...
and of course... awesome prints...

SO my very very favorite things in her shop...
Her diaper bags...
they totally rock...
Tattoo prints...
vintage prints...
Rockabilly prints...
punk rock prints...

Baby booties...
same thing...
and just $8 a pop!
W all get sick of those cheezy crib shoes from target...
Rockin Mama BG shows us a better way!!

Now, lets get to the review!


First thing I noticed, is Izzaq's t came on a high quality Garanimals tshirt...
They're thick... they last, and they hardly shrink. YAY!
His shirt featured an awesome tattoo'd theme...
Sparrows anchors and stars... like a chest piece...
they have a cool vintage fade to them...

I havn't had a chance to wash them yet...
but a nice perk was that she gave very detailed instructions about washing them...
As RockerByeBaby loves, its simple...
Throw it in the wash... cold water...
pull it out right away though... So there is no bleeding of the screen...
Hang it up... and ta-da... a clean Rockin Mama onesie...
She also said the screen softens with washing!
sweet...
Ill update after I wash it... Izzaq's wearing it right now :)

So, the part youve all been waiting for...
WHAT DO YOU GET!?!
You get... 2 onesies... TWO!!
One with skulls and cherries... one just like izzaqs!




Both sized 0-3 months for your teeny tiny peanut!
Keep them for youself...
Give them to a friend... whatever you want!

So check her out...
Rockin Mama BG
and you know the drill...
