Win a monster for your little monster!
22nd
2012
I had big plans for this post. I was going to sit down with my little angels and have ourselves a cute photoshoot, showing you all a product that our family loves. But as usual, the kids didn’t cooperate. Jack is either pointing at the fan or trying to pull his sister’s hair and Maddie’s making some sort of silly face or not sitting ladylike in her dress. We decided to just roll with it.
In the end, it was perfect and a bit poetic because my kids were being absolute monsters… which is exactly what I’m giving away!
North American Bear Co. contacted me a few months ago and offered to send one of their adorable monster dolls to one of my readers. My kids have never been big stuffed animal fans, but there’s just something about these silly dolls that have made them converts. Maddie and Jack drag them ALL around the house. I’m pretty sure Jack is gnawing on one as we speak. He’s special.
I just really love how quirky they are! Come to find out, they are part of a line of dolls called Make My Own Monster. So our two monsters were made from actual drawings and they came with a little story the child wrote about them. So awesome.
So are you ready to win a monster of your choice? To enter, simply leave a comment on this post. I will accept entries until Wednesday, February 28th at 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time. I’ll contact the winner via email.
Good luck!
Cute! Alex would love these! (and as far as the photo shoot…I think the pics you got will make you smile more in the long run… :) )

Ohmygosh…The kids are too cute…the monsters too!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 5:40 am
The monsters and your little monsters are very cute.
on February 22nd, 2012 at 5:41 am
I don’t want to win one (as I don’t have any little monsters, unless you count my dog), but I just wanted to say your little boy is TOO CUTE! I love his little chubby cheeks!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 5:45 am
So cute! My little monster would absolutely love one of these!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 5:57 am
I would love a little monster for my little monster!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 6:07 am
I would love a monster!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 6:32 am
Oh man, those are awesome! My little monsters would love one, the drag their stuffed animals everywhere! We even had a birthday party for their “babies” a few days ago!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 6:36 am
I want a monster for my little monsters!! :)
on February 22nd, 2012 at 6:39 am
So cute! Would love one for my grandson. Thank you!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 6:49 am
My little guy would love to have one of these!! Can’t wait to find out! :-)
on February 22nd, 2012 at 7:03 am
Cute!!!!
Why do kids do that??? Especially when you think if you act extra excited and happy and bribe with anything…. It goes sour. You got some cute shots! :)
on February 22nd, 2012 at 7:35 am
Oh, those are just so cute! I’d love to win a monster for my little monster… we even had a monster party for his first birthday and he’s been living up to the name quite nicely (or terribly, I suppose).
My kids do that to me constantly with photos- my oldest (4) will scream ‘Cheese!’ as she’s looking off to the side. Getting her to even look at the camera, let alone smile too, is impossible… throw in her brother and it’s a recipe for disaster. I keep thinking ‘Maybe when they get older…’ but so far haven’t been lucky ;)
on February 22nd, 2012 at 7:39 am
Those monsters are so cute!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 7:57 am
These are too cute! My son, Landon, would absolutely love one of these. :)
on February 22nd, 2012 at 8:06 am
WANT! Baby girl will love this – she has no choice! :)
on February 22nd, 2012 at 8:13 am
Those are adorable! And your kids are cute as can be just like always!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 8:29 am
What a neat idea! Kinda jealous that I didn’t think of it ;) Whatevs, they are super adorable so I’ll forgive!
Your monsters are pretty stinkin’ adorable too!
PS If I win, I’m probably gonna keep it for myself! LOL How could would it be to have a LIBRARY monster! I think the middle schoolers would totally dig it!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 8:34 am
These are adorable!
How did Jack get so big? Isn’t he still a newborn? Geez.
on February 22nd, 2012 at 8:54 am
So fun! I want, I want!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 8:54 am
Love the pics, your kids are too cute!
My daughter would love one of these :)
on February 22nd, 2012 at 9:01 am
Bella would love a little monster — and she’s just like your kids, making silly faces and looking away when the camera comes out.
Your two are darling by the way.
on February 22nd, 2012 at 9:10 am
Oh my gosh! How cute are all 4 of those little monsters! :)
on February 22nd, 2012 at 9:29 am
Show me the monster! Show me the monster!
Or more delicately put, please consider this comment as an entry in your monster give away.
Your little monsters are quite precious and getting so big. My own baby monsters are 2 and 5 and taking decent pictures of them is like trying to squeeze my chunky butt into a speedo (it’s just not happening and it just doesn’t look good)!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 9:50 am
Oh this is so cute! (As are your little non-monsters!)
I’m in!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 9:57 am
I’ve been reading your blog forever, and only commented a handful of times, but couldn’t resist the contest to win a monster for my little monster. Keep sharing your stories – it’s really encouraging from one stay at home mom to another. If you can keep your sanity intact with two, I certainly can with only one toddler!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:03 am
Oh monsters!! I don’t think I can get enough of them; I have three little monstas! Rawr. I think it won’t hurt to add one more ;) My two year old would have a such FIT over this! FTW giveaway!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:06 am
Love these! My son likes stuffed animals but is very picky about them being “for boys”. How perfect for him!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:06 am
I heart monsters! My little Roman would love his own monster pal!!! :0)
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:12 am
I would love a monster….but can I have Jack and Maddie too??
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:16 am
love the monsters… :)
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:24 am
Oh my word. I just peeked at their products and they’re hilariously cute. My daughter would love one!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:24 am
We love monsters at my house!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:25 am
My lil’ boy would love a monster!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:27 am
My little monster would loooooove one of those!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:34 am
I have two little monsters of my own..and I just know a third one would be sooo welcome in their little circle! :)
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:36 am
Cute monsters! Are they all different colors?
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:44 am

on February 22nd, 2012 at 11:20 am
Omg! We call my little cousin monster and her first birthday is next month. She would LOVE this!! Her bday is monster themed, so I’d be the favorite for sure. ;) so cute.
on February 22nd, 2012 at 11:22 am
My kids LOVE stuffed animals! Even my “I’m way too cool for ANYTHING” ten year old son. I think he has more stuffed toys than my 4 year old daughter!
I love that they are designed after kids drawings…how awesome!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 11:24 am

on February 22nd, 2012 at 12:17 pm
I need a cute monster for Maddy, or my future children ;) I really think they are awesome – I just looked at the website and was totally cracking up over some of them.

on February 22nd, 2012 at 4:57 pm
monsters are my fave kind of toy, now I just need to convince my toddler of this fact.
on February 22nd, 2012 at 5:30 pm
Oh my goodness. So cute. I’d put this in my classroom, for sure.
on February 22nd, 2012 at 7:16 pm

So stinkin cute! I would love nothing more than to win a little monster for the monster cooking in my belly! It could be her best friend growing up!
on February 22nd, 2012 at 9:42 pm
Want. The End.
on February 22nd, 2012 at 10:06 pm
Oh. My. Gosh. Those are way too cute. My son would absolutely love one. *crosses fingers*

I love the pose your little boy is doing – semi profesh- get that kid an agent! :)
on February 23rd, 2012 at 2:52 am
Oh cute cute cute, I’d love one for my monster princess!
on February 23rd, 2012 at 7:28 am
A monster for my little monster (which is her actual nickname) would be awesome! Pick Me Pick Me!
on February 23rd, 2012 at 8:12 am
Those are so cute, oh and the kiddies too! :) I love all of the candid shots, those are the best pictures to save for the kids when they get older.
on February 23rd, 2012 at 8:58 am
How cute! Both your little cuties and these little monster dolls! I could see my little monster loving one of these!
on February 23rd, 2012 at 11:01 am
Laila would love a monster, I just know it. I had these great fantasies of calling her “lailabug” before I had her but after she arrived all we called her for months was “monster”.
on February 23rd, 2012 at 11:54 am
My little monster would love to have his own little monster! His nickname has been monster since forever, because he had the colick from hell!
on February 23rd, 2012 at 1:19 pm
Casey says he would love one, please and thanks! :)
on February 23rd, 2012 at 6:29 pm

on February 24th, 2012 at 12:09 am
I would love a soft, cute monster for my little monster:)
on February 24th, 2012 at 5:34 am
Those are adorable! and i love your blog :)
on February 24th, 2012 at 7:34 am
My neice would love a monster doll she turns one next month and is having a monster themed bash!
on February 24th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
These are super cute! We call our son “Monster” and I know he’d love to have a monster of his own to drag around… love your blog! Your kiddos are adorable. :)
on February 24th, 2012 at 6:26 pm
If my 8 yr old son drew himself a “custom” monster, it would be a vampire princess. He weirdly has a fascination with both. My 5 yr old girl would draw an “evil alien girl, who’s nice to people, but not to aliens”. And my 3 yr old would draw a Batman monster. Funny how they are all so different.
on February 24th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
my little 10 month old would just tear that thing apart… in a good way, of course.
on February 25th, 2012 at 12:48 pm
Lovely!! I want one for my little one! Thanks for the opportunity :)
on February 25th, 2012 at 1:59 pm
Love the pictures of your little monsters!
We would love to love a(nother) monster in this house :)
Pretty please

Your daughter’s monster is too cute!
on February 27th, 2012 at 1:02 pm
Yes, I’ve heard of this! Very cool. I think Crazy Eyes and Alie-n are my favorites.
on February 27th, 2012 at 1:20 pm
We have 4 kiddos, 3 girlies and a boy…he’s the baby and his name is Jack. Jack needs all the help he can get in girl land. I can see him now holding up his monster to his youngest sister Sophia, who is 19 mths. older than him, and believing that he could now handle her…cause’ now he’s got “backup” in the form of his monster :)
on February 27th, 2012 at 2:19 pm
SO nice seeing im not alone trying to get decent photos of my kids lol! these are adorable and know my youngest daughters would love one of these!
on February 27th, 2012 at 4:56 pm
