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!
