Cordial Lee Giveaway!

I'm excited to announce a giveaway from a company that I love!

You have a chance to win a...

Personalized Tooth Fairy Pillow

or

$20 Gift Voucher

(your choice)

from one of my favorite Mommy-owned companies...Cordial Lee!

Cordial Lee's owner, Shelby, is a former teacher and now stay-at-home mommy of three beautiful girls that pursued her passion for monogramming and graphic design when she started staying at home.  She is such a hard-working entrepreneur, a kind person, is easy to work with and will try to meet almost any request you have for the personalization of an item.  Her online gift boutique and print studio has grown rapidly over the past few years! You can read more about her here.

Codial Lee offers items such as personalized invitations and stationary, boutique kids' apparel, appliqued, personlized clothing, personalized decor, as well as women's bags, to just name a few!  I have personally purchased many items from Shelby for my sweet Adeline and myself and am always impressed with the quality of material and items she uses, as well as the amazing attention to detail you can tell goes into her choice of fabrics and personalization of an item!

Shelby recently created a Personalized Tooth Fairy Pillow for Adeline to use in the future that I just love and Adeline was pretty excited about when she got it in the mail!

 

 

The Tooth Fairy Pillow makes a great gift and a great collectible! The fabric choices were perfect and the quality of the product is better than any of these I have seen.  Cordial Lee doesn't miss a detail...down to the adorable packaging!

The pillow has one side with a pocket, ready for the tooth and the money! It also conveniently hangs from a door or a bedpost!

30 for 30

Now for the update on what I've been wearing! Ha! As if enough hasn't been going on around here to celebrate Thanksgiving and the start of the Christmas season, I've kept rolling with my 30 for 30.  Today marks day 11 of the challenge! If you didn't catch my first post about the 30 for 30 challenge, check it out here.  

Let's rewind a bit.

 

{Day 6 of 30 outfit}

*My day:  First day off from break and Justin had the day off due to rainy weather...so we ran errands! That night we had our friends Chad and Cheri over for pizza and games!*

From 30:  Light casual jeans, long sleeve white t-shirt, gray New Balances; Accessories:  Green scarf

{Day 7 of 30 outfit}

*My day:  Thanksgiving day! (pardon the floor...my parents are in the middle of a remodel)*

 

From 30:  Wide leg trousers, brown boots, tan Ann Taylor Loft shirt from hubby last Christmas; Accessories:  Just earrings.

{Day 8 of 30 outfit}

*My day: Black Friday shopping with my grandma, aunt, and mom! What fun!*

 

From 30:  Light casual jeans, tan sweater, white long sleeve t-shirt, tan flats; Accessories:  Brown and yellow floral scarf

{Day 9 of 30 outfit}  

*My day:  Must have been all the turkey from the past two days...I forgot my picture on this day. Hubby and I started putting up all the decor and then went shopping.*

From 30:  UK long sleeve t-shirt, dark casual jeans, gray New Balance shoes.   I was boring on this day...no accessories and very comfy.

 

{Day 10 of 30 outfit}

*My day:  Sunday School, church, lunch, Christmas decorating (hence the sneak peek at the tree), and then helped get Christmas packages ready to send out from our college outreach ministry.*

From 30:  Long sleeve black t-shirt, wide leg trousers, black dress tennis shoes; Accessories:  Polka dotted scarf, hoop earrings, and does Boone count?

And finally, today... 

 

{Day 11 of 30 outfit}

*My day:  Back to school and then night grad class.*

From 30:  Long dress, brown long sleeve shirt, brown boots, plus I layered brown leggings under this dress for warmth under this made-for-summer dress; Accessories:  cream scarf, hoop earrings

Whew! I think that gets you caught up! Can't wait to share all about the great Thanksgiving break I had...coming tomorrow.  

 

Also, don't forget....

the 12 Days of Christmas Link-Up

marathon will run from December 1st -December 12th right here!  Grab the button and find all the topics here (or at the top of the blog)!

a couple things

First off, it's time to announce the winner of the second Thankfully Thrifty Baby Shower giveaway!  

The winner is......

Katie!

Congrats, Katie! You're the winner of the Boogie Wipes! I will email you shortly to get your contact information!

___________

Secondly, it's day 3 of my 30 for 30 challenge! That means I'm already 1/10 of the way through the challenge.  However, it was still very easy to find an outfit today from my 30 picks! Still loving this.  And today after a great discussion at Sunday School and a message of being more blessed by giving than receiving....I'm ready to get into my closet and find TONS of clothes to give away.  Can't wait!

{Day 3 of 30 Outfit}

*My day:  Sunday School, Church, Church Thanksgiving Lunch.* 

From 30:  Fuchsia dress, long sleeve brown shirt, brown leggings, brown boots; Accessories:  striped scarf from Old Navy and brown hoop earrings

Again, awful pic.  Sorry for that.  I was tempted to cut my head off the pic so you would just see the clothes.  But then I decided a headless pic might be weird.  So this is what I settled with.  Maybe by day 30 there will be a decent pic. :)

Happy Sunday ladies! Hope it's blessed!

And the winner is...

Jill is a mom herself and knows how busy life can get with little ones! She has a large selection of day planners (agendas) to plan all those doctors appointments, sports games and practices, or play dates.  She also has a large selection of swaddle blankets and burpies/bibs for you moms of little ones (or little ones on the way)! They look so adorable and fashionable for the sweet little ones in your life.  And news to me, but Ashleigh let me in on a little secret...swaddle blankets are larger than receiving blankets, meaning extra cozy to snuggle up and swaddle your sweet baby.  Jill has many colorful fabric options! If you would like to see more fabric options other than what you see on her site, send a message to Jill and she will be happy to send more pictures your way!

I'm excited to host another part of the baby shower for you to get a chance to win a pack of Boogie Wipes (yes, I said "boogie")!

image source

Boogie Wipes are the perfect solution to little one's snotty noses! The wonderful thing about these is that they come in a convenient pop-up container just as regular wipes do.  Also, these wipes contain saline, which helps keep kiddos' noses moist so that they don't get aggravated my being wiped multiple times. Even as a teacher, I see little ones going toward their sleeve to wipe their nose.  Yuck! What a perfect solution Boogie Wipes are! I'm thinking they maybe should go on next year's supply list for my classroom. :) Also, Boogie Wipes are currently running a special promotion featuring their friend Boogs!  You can receive him by visiting their website here, printing out the designated form, attaching 3 UPC's from Boogie Wipes and mailing it in!

And for even more fun, they are launching their Fall promotion called Save The Sleeve!  It’s an interactive way to help kiddos learn why they should "save their sleeve" from boogs! You can learn more at SaveTheSleeve.com or visit them on Facebook here! Okay, let's "snot" forget we're here to play! Ready? 


GIVEAWAY:

One pack of Boogie Wipes will be awarded to one randomly selected winner. 

HOW TO ENTER:
We're playing another game! The first mandatory entry is to play along with the baby shower game right here in the comment section!

Baby Shower Giveaway Time!

 ***This giveaway is now closed.***

My lovely blog friend, Ashleigh from Thankfully Thrifty, is expecting her first baby! And I'm super excited to help host a wonderful baby shower (yes, in blog world) for this fabulous mommy-to-be.  To help celebrate the birth of her firstborn, she's giving away some fabulous prizes from some great sponsors to you wonderful readers.  If you are from Ashleigh's blog, welcome! If you haven't stopped by to see her first, you can go here for more details about this fabulous giveaway and others going on the next two weeks!

I'm excited to host part of the baby shower for you to get a chance to win a Mommy Hook from Keen Distribution!

image source

Keen Distribution is the distributor of the Mommy Hook.  If you've heard of Keen before, it's because they are also the distributors of the Bumbo Baby Seat.  Amazing items, huh? Well even though I'm not a mommy yet, both of these amazing "inventions" are on my future must-have-for-baby list! The Mommy Hook looks like a large carabiner.  This fabulous item can hook onto a stroller and then help mommies (and daddies) hook together shopping bags, diaper bags, and any other kind of bag you may need.  Many strollers have storage compartments, but obviously, with baby in tow...that's not always enough room.  This great item can help you in the mall, the grocery store, or even in Disney World, like I saw on my recent trip.  I noticed a couple used two Mommy Hooks to allow their diaper bag to hook onto the handles of their double-wide stroller.  The hooks extended the diaper bag handles enough to where the bag fit right against the back of the stroller.  The possibilities are endless on how to use this great item! Even not-yet-mommies and moms with older children could find great ways to use this neat item, such as hooking numerous bags together to carry from the car to the house! So are you "hooked" yet? Ready to play?

GIVEAWAY:
One Mommy Hook will be awarded to one randomly selected winner.


HOW TO ENTER:
Well this is a baby shower.  So of course, there are games! The first mandatory entry is to play along with the baby shower game right here in the comment section!

*The Game : ABC's of Babies*

How it works...

Commenter number one starts with the letter "A". Come up with a word that begins with "A".  (It has to be something that a baby would DO or USE etc.)
Example : "A is for applesauce" (This works because babies eat applesauce.)
The next commenter would take the Letter "B"
and so on...


If you are the next commenter after Z, start again at A.  If for some reason you accidentally get out of order, no worries! Your entry will still count. :) It's all fun and games here!

EXTRA ENTRIES:
You can earn one extra entry for each of the following.  Please leave a separate comment for each entry in order for each to be counted and make sure to leave your email address with at least one of your comments so that I can contact you if you win.  (That's 8 total entries if you enter into each one.)

1. Visit Keen Distribution and tell me another baby item you’d love to have or you know is a must-have (my time will come...I need all the advice I can take, too!)
2. Become a follower of Keen Distribution on Twitter here
3. Become a follower of Thankfully Thrifty on Twitter here and tweet about the giveaway by including the following: @ThankfulThrifty @KeenDisti #giveaway

Happy weekends, friends! May you find time to let your creative, joy-filled sides loose this weekend!

let's talk food

Recently I have had three crazy food cravings.  (No it's not because of that "p word" reason that might jump into your mind.  Not us.  Not right now.) I just love food.  Always have.  I think I've found some new foods I like recently because, although we eat pretty healthy at home, we're trying to branch out and eat even healthier.

Let's start with one food that I have never been able to stand.  Yogurt.  It's one of those things I have tried randomly throughout my life thinking, oh maybe I will like it this time.  I tried every flavor and every brand.  However, recently I tried Yoplait YoPlus yogurt.  One word--"yum".  I love this stuff and am stocking up on it when it's on sale (which good ol' Wally World often has it cheapo for a 4-pack).  Every flavor I have tried has been so yummy.  (Yoplait's new Greek yogurt is great too.)

The second food is one I've always been just okay with...green peppers.  Recently I've found a love for them raw.  Dip them in ranch dressing and you've got a great snack!

Third recent food that stocks our refrigerator is feta cheese.  This stuff is wonderful on just about anything...cold pasta salads, warm and light pastas, salads, etc.

So let me introduce you to my current favorite at-home salad that usually graces my plate's presence at least a couple times a week:

Ingredients:

romaine lettuce

green peppers

pepper and sea salt croutons

feta cheese crumbles

Ken's lite Northern Italian with Basil & Romano dressing

Just a nice little change to a normal salad.  What are your favorite salad toppings? I would love to hear more ideas!  Or maybe you've found a new "love" for a food recently...would love to hear about it, too!

Sidenote--I am super excited today because I won Lindsey's TOMS shoes giveaway!! What an awesome giveaway that I am so grateful to win! You can read more about TOMS on my post barefoot. to understand my excitement!

barefoot.

I'm going to be honest here.  I love to be barefoot.  It drove my grandpa crazy when I was little and he would come over to find me barefoot.  Even when it was warm outside, he would say, "Cait, get some shoes on.  You're gonna catch a cold."  I grew up on a farm, and yep, I even went barefoot quite a bit on the farm....prickly grass and all.  My hubby can't believe how I can walk so easily barefoot on gravel.  (Years of experience.)  I mean we are from Kentucky, y'all.  We don't wear shoes...you know that. (wink, wink.)

Here's the second part of my honesty.  Last week,  TOMS shoes promoted a day without shoes...a challenge that just for one day, you would go barefoot to raise awareness of children living in poverty in countries where they go barefoot, live without clean water, and often don't have access to simple necessities such as food.  My confession? I couldn't get myself to do it.  I was on Spring Break...just running errands...but yet, still.  I couldn't do it.  Isn't that dirty? Unsanitary? What would people say? These were among many of the thoughts that came to my mind.  However, those kiddos don't have a choice.  I do.  I have more than I need.  Now my job, is to spread the love of Christ through the blessings He provides in my life.  Thank you Lord, for always working on my heart....even when my silly, naive thoughts get in the way.

Through the blogging grapevine I found this amazing giveaway for TOMS Shoes that Lindsey is having on her blog, la dolce vita.  My sweet friend, Megan, told me about these shoes a couple years ago and I just recently looked into them for myself.  This selfless entrepreneur of TOMS Shoes has started a company that gives a pair of shoes to a child in a developing country for every pair of TOMS shoes that are purchased.  How amazing! You're helping out a precious child and getting a pair of cute shoes for yourself.  (Seriously, I would even go with the just giving a pair of shoes to that sweet child.)  So go check it out.  What an awesome giveaway and what a wonderful cause.

Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.'

Matthew 25:40 (The Message)

In His name.

my first giveaway: Avon's New Super Extend Mascara!

Image courtesy of Avon

I have dabbled in Avon this past year and it’s been fun for me. I’m simple and thrifty...and Avon’s products are great, cheap, and not over the top. (Perfect for a very low-key makeup kinda gal like myself.) You can read my post about the beginnings of my first taste of entrepreneurship here. Well, you can thank the Avon fairies for setting up my first giveaway on this baby blog of mine. When I received my Avon package in the mail this campaign with the items my customers purchased, I had an extra Avon Super Extend Mascara. I thought, do I keep it? Do I give it away? Does my mom need mascara? And then those two words “give” and “away” came together, a light bulb went off in this mind of mine…and I thought…giveaway. Perfect! For a sweet blog reader. (You’re pretty special if you won over my mom! Hey, she’s a reader…she still has a chance to win.) A free item…what a great way to say “thank you” to someone who stops by and visits theblessedlife.

This is a new mascara product from Avon and they have been running a special on it for trading in your old mascara. This new mascara….which I may add that I purchased for myself and love…will be valued at $8.50 once the promo price expires in the current campaign. (ps…my wand thingamajig is not yellow…it’s black…I was a little sad on that one. Just wanted to give you a heads up.)

The item? One new Avon Super Extend Waterproof Mascara (in black)

Value? $8.50
