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!

You very well may have already heard about my friend Kristy’s new business due to it’s raging popularity with the pregnant crowd. Birth Day Suit Maternity offers THE cutest labor and delivery hospital gowns I’ve ever seen.

And let’s be real here: when you’re in the screaming, sweaty throes of labor, you need all the help you can get in the beauty department. (I wish I had one when I delivered! HOT MESS.) Birth Day Suit Maternity also offers nursing gowns and adorable baby items in their Etsy shop.

Are you ready for the fun part? You have a chance to win a Birth Day Suit gown, valued at nearly $70! Not pregnant? Give it as a gift!

Have you heard of Shabby Apple? Let me tell you girls, this shop is amazing. When I first stumbled upon it a few years ago, I immediately wanted to snatch up every single dress for myself because they’re all just so lovely and feminine. Being that I’m pregnant and a freaking WHALE of a woman right now, I was so excited to see that there is actually a maternity section with some super adorable dresses as well! Options for us all!

Pop on over and take a look when you have a chance… it’s like floating through a pretty, ruffly dream.

Okay, now on to business. Shabby Apple has sweetly offered to give away their Five to Nine dress to one of my readers!

Is that not the most adorable little black dress you’ve ever seen? I know. I’m actually quite jealous that one of you gets to own it and wear it and be fabulous in it, I’m not gonna lie.

So what do you have to do to enter? Just leave one comment on this post. Tell me anything. Your New Year’s resolutions. What you ate for breakfast. Introduce yourself if you’re new around these parts. Shower me with adoring compliments… I don’t care!

Tweet the following for an additional entry:

Happy New Year, friends! And good luck!

Also, did you see this adorable new blog design I have going on? Major props to my husband for the amazing job! And I didn’t even have to bug him to do it for me. 800 times.
