So Kozy... Such a Pal...

I was sooooo thrilled when I was able to get my hands on a KozyPal Cart Cover. Lil' Buddy is at the age where everything goes in the mouth, or the mouth goes on everything which has been making me not want to take him to the grocery store AT ALL! I cant bring him in his carseat since that takes up the entire shopping cart, where the heck would I put my food?!?!

I received the sweetest print for him, the cocoa bubble bar, and this thing is HUGE!! It not only fits any grocery store cart, but it fits restaurant high chairs, park swings and even one mom used her Kozy Pal as a changing table cover when she was in a pinch in the grocery store!! I can't say that I blame her at all!!

Of course I brought the camera with me to the grocery store with Lil' Buddy and our KozyPal Cart Cover, but my genius brain left the battery to the camera, safely at home plugged into the wall charging up... of course.

The KozyPal Cart Cover is soooo plush, I even want to curl up in it and take a nap!! There's toy loops, a safety belt, a fabulous mommy bag attached, and reinforced leg holes!! You can even custom order your KozyPal with your own fabric to make it even more perfect for your lil' one! Got more than one tyke to tend to? They even make the covers for the double carts!! Also, there's the detachable matching pillow, sippy cup holder/bottle holder and you can get it personalized with the font of your choice!!

Sweets for your Sweeties!

This time of year, with Valentine's day coming up, there are candies and sweets everywhere! No matter what store I'm in, no matter which direction I turn, there's candy. But few stack up to my great expectations....... and then I found Fat Daddy Sweets.

Oh, My, Goodness... Fat Daddy Sweets sent me some amazing toffee, as well as some caramels, freshly made. Do you know the awesome goodness of freshly made, homemade candy?

Alicia at Fat Daddy Sweets has been baking for the past 32 years, and was taught by her mother and grandmother. (Who better to teach??) She's a stay at home mom of two busy children of her own and will have your sweets ready to ship within 48 hours of your order. I can't even find time to take a shower with my 2 little ones, and this woman gets crazy with the candy! How she does it, I dont know, its not a small feat!! Alicia has dedicated Mondays and Wednesdays to baking and shipping, so there isn't much of a wait to curb your sweet tooth!

With items like chocolate covered cherries, caramel center truffles, and "chocolate love"... whats not to love? There's many more items in her shop and she's adding more all the time! And with prices that are so so so reasonable, its hard not to stop adding things to your cart!!

I'm a candy-aholic yet I have HIGH standards, though Fat Daddy Sweets met the bar I set so high and went way above and beyond! The toffee and the caramels are AMAZING!!!

Fun Times....

Its coming, sooner than you know it... we've got about a week and its time again to be all lovey dovey and celebrate Valentine's day. Note... this is not a post for the wee ones. I suggest averting their eyes before clicking links.

Valentine's day has been "just another day" around here, but lucky for me (or my husband) I was able to review some Valentine's Day Lingerie from Yandy.

Now I'm a pretty tame girl. I've never been one to be too flashy so when I first clicked the site, I was pleasantly surprised! There are SO MANY choices!! Lingerie that goes from super wild to so so mild... Literally, any type of lingerie that you could want, yandy's got it! And its not even limited to lingerie, they have shoes, accessories, clothes, swimwear and more. It really took me quite some time to weed through everything and come down to some decisions.

Yandy is so inexpensive, but the quality is awesome! Its not cheap, crappy lingerie. Its definitely fashionable, stylish and sexy lingerie! And if you even want to bump it one step up, they carry fine lingerie like the Sex and the City Pearl Thong and Organic cotton robes!

I placed my order and had it in my hands within 4 days. Shipping is super fast and you receive free fast shipping on orders over $70! With prices low like theirs are, you can get a lot of lingerie really quick that way!!

Head over to Yandy, check out their lingerie, everyday basics, sexy clothing, hot shoes and comfy pajamas and robes! They have such a huge selection!!

Big thanks to the Family Review Network and Yandy for making this review possible! My husband thanks you too!!

My Two Babes Review & Giveaway!

If you know me... you know I'm always in search of adorable, functional, inexpensive things to make my life just that much easier. I'm happy to have found MyTwoBabes at etsy!! We've been going to a lot of family functions lately where my best friend is with her little darlin' and the bottle mix up is starting to get frustrating! Lil' Buddy takes the enfamil, her lil' snowball (I like to call her) takes the similac fancypants stuff.

I was lucky enough to have Kristin at MyTwoBabes send me fabulous labels for Lil' Buddy's belongings!! These are great cause they are durable and dishwasher safe... as for me, I am the dishwasher.... They're made from vinyl and you can have your pick of colors and fonts available!

But in all honesty... I get curious and I had to ask... Where did the name "MyTwoBabes" come from??

Kristin says...

"I have had many questions asked on where I came up with the name of my company. If you do not know already, I am a mother of beautiful twin girls. They were two in January, and I have no idea where the time has gone! I guess I was under the impression that they would be my babies forever! Is this not the case?

I would not have been able to start my business without their birth, and the time I am able to spend here at home watching them grow is precious. I am inspired by their sweet smiles, and by the wonder in their eyes to look at everything around me with renewed vision.
These are my two babes... my LOVES!"

Kristin is so talented and she's not just a fantastic label maker, she has all sorts of other items in her shop!! Super cute key fobs (I'm definitely purchasing one), really cool fabric and fleece scarves, photo frames, handbags, wall words and more... I cannot believe how affordable her stuff really is!

She even maintains a blog, and right now she's got up a free tutorial up for how to make a fabulous checkbook cover! Twins, a blog, a shop, a life?? How do ya do it?!?!?!

Do you want a $5.00 credit to MyTwoBabes? You can put it toward any items in the shop, and the labels I love are $5.00!! The keyfobs I love are $5.00!!

To enter, please head over to MyTwoBabes shop and come back here letting me know your favorite item or visit MyTwoBabes Blog and let me know your favorite item from there!

Eleven Shoes Review & Giveaway!

Valentine's Day Giveaway #5...

My daughter is a shoe killer. She literally KILLS shoes very quickly in any given season, so I'm always actively searching for shoes that are comfortable and hold up cause its expensive to keep buying shoes that are crap quality and fall apart easily! Thank goodness for the Eleven Collection shoes!! Boug was able to pick out her favorite style, with mommy's approval, to help me review. And my approval, ANY of the shoes definitely fit my approval, they're awesome!

Boug picked out the Josie style and as you can tell by the picture, she wanted to immediately wear them! She paired up the adorable brown and pink shoes with her zebra tights, denim skirt and black with gold "play it loud" shirt. Seriously, the girl thinks she's a trendsetter.

There's just something wonderful about shopping from a family run business, and Eleven is, they are based out of Portland, OR... clear across the country from me, thats why I'm so happy that these shoes are so easily accessible! You can search for a retail location from their website or you can purchase there as well.

The leather on these shoes are so damn soft I almost tried to squeeze my 9.5 foot into my 4 year olds size 12 shoe. I have no worries about the shoes digging into her feet and cutting up my sweet girls skin. Ummm yeah... and are they stylish? Lets just say Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's daughter Violet wears Elevens.

Eleven Collection is also the sister company to See Kai Run, so if you've seen how great they are for the littler feet, you can only imagine how great they are for the bigger feets! Eleven Collection believes that each step is an adventure... with fully functional and good looking shoes.

Want a pair of Eleven Collection shoes for the adventurer in your life? Head over to their site and let me know which pair of shoes that you would pick out! One winner will receive the shoes in the style and size of their choosing!
