and saw an email from Laura the owner asking me if I wanted

to share her site with all of you and do a giveaway!

Laura is a work at home mom of a toddler, and another on the way, and

I told her I would love to take a look and pick out my favorites.

And....I seriously got lost in her website going from one cute baby item to another! It was hard to just pick 10. (I had to limit myself. ;)

Here are my picks!

1.  2.  3. 4. 5. 6. 7.  8. 9. 10.

I plan on doing more features like this.. showing my favorites.

It was like shopping for all my friends! (you guys!)

VLOG: Smart Grocery Shopping Made Easier + $100 Visa Giveaway from SHOPPERK

I have to admit...I'm still perfecting the art of grocery shopping and meal planning.

And now with another baby in the mix, my time to spend on this task is limited.

I'm always getting bored with the meals I make and am wanting to find new recipes to try.

I usually end up looking through pinterest to see new recipes to try...

and then get distracted by DIY projects before I actually end up

adding those recipe's ingredients to my grocery list and checking for deals.

And don't even get me started on wanting to spend less at the grocery.

I know I'm not alone on that!

I couldn't resist this new company's proposal to be one of the first to have a look at their new App. SHOPPERK is all about making Smart Shopping Easier.

After using the Shopperk App I realized it makes finding recipes easier, with big yummy photos and search options... and offers big savings all in one place by showing you deals from stores in your area...on a bunch of items but also on the actual items on your grocery list from the recipes you chose! genius.

Here's a video I made to give you an idea of how it works!

ignore my dorkyness. Micah makes an appearance for about 3 seconds

before that teething wiggle worm wanted to go play.

I'm curious to see if you would use something like this!

If you are interested put your e-mail in and you'll be one of the first users.

$100 Visa Gift Card
GIVEAWAY DETAILS:
The giveaway will end May 7th.
A winner will be chosen via random.org and e-mailed!

We had been talking about doing a giveaway for a while and

thought this was perfect timing!

She is offering TWO $50 Credits to shop all her jewelry!

She is ALSO offering a 50%OFF CODE
for ALL of her Jewelry!

CODE: busybudgetingmama50 (valid till 5/6/13)
----ENTER GIVEAWAY AT END OF POST-----

Amazing right?! 50 percent off........ Girls, she is hooking us up.

I think it's because she thought I was so sweet when we met at BLISSDOM.

I'm gonna go with that as the reason. ;)

I have a couple of her pieces and might be using the 50 percent off

myself to add to my jewelry collection.

They are classic pieces and well made. Love her statement necklaces.

I get compliments EVERY time I wear them. every single time.

people want to know where I got it. And that makes me fell nice since

I usually get ready quickly and with melt downs going on.........

I also wanted to share Cardstore.com is

offering free shipping right now.

I ordered cards from them for the

special mothers in my life.

Mother's day cards are $2.49 and

Use Code:CCF3425 for the free shipping!

(Their site says Offer is valid 4/25/13 - 5/6/13)

I designed this super easy and fast with kids running around at my feet.

LOVE how they turned out. You can have them ship directly from the site to your person...but I wanted to see them up close and in person so I clicked the option to have them stamped and addressed but sent to me first. The girls loved putting them in the mail box.

and I didn't have to search for stamps.

EASY process.. and I love their whole site's look... so cute!

Hope these give you ideas/motivation to bless your mamas!

And good luck to everyone entering the Caroline G. Giveaway!

cute baby in a lion robe.

Micah needed a bath this morning.

he smelled like boy. a stinky boy.

I LOVED wrapping him up in his cute little Lion Robe...

clean babies always smell so good. :)

My little guy was a fan. he likes being snuggy.

The fabric is a super soft terry cloth. and the lion mane is made out of all these different patterened ribbons! Such a cute detail.

It's been a while since I've done a giveaway..

I like to be a bit picky on who I team up with.

As soon as I saw BabyAspen.com

I was like ok...we need to do something together!!

Their packaging is ADORABLE...

I'm a sucker for cute branding. :)

I loved everything. all of it. and I like to share things like that. :)

I rounded up some of my favorite items. (So many cute baby shower gift ideas!)

Our Family Themed Halloween Costumes & COSTUME GIVEAWAY from CostumeExpress.com

Excited to team up with CostumeExpress.com..

and share our Halloween Party costumes!

Enter to win your own costume below!

(Giveaway Has Ended! :)

We went with a Family Western Theme! The girls LOVED the pink cow girl costumes...

and I was able to find something that worked with my growing bump.

The girls are wearing The Wild West Cutie Toddler Costume (Sizes 3T/4T & 2T)

The costume comes with a pink hat..but sophie liked mama's better... (white felt hat)

and sienna is too much of a wild spirit to wear a hat....

The horse sophie is riding was a birthday present this past year (dollar store!)

The costumes run a little small.. so the girls are wearing

leggings for the coverage and for the cold. (sienna's from old navy sophie's from k-mart)

 

What does a pregnant mama wear to a costume party??

A man's poncho of course! haha. This thing is actually pretty comfy... ;)
It's the Western Authentic Wandering Gunman Adult Costume
Ben and I are wearing the Felt Cowboy Hat in white.

Ben thought a cigar was a much needed touch to his "sheriff costume....tough guy.

We are so excited for our Halloween Party this year!

Still working up some fun little details for the party.. 

I'm just doing a dessert table..and then fun voting cards for the mac n' cheese bake of.

Trying to keep it simple as I'm feeling very pregnant...but I like being kept busy.

and making felt monster puppets as favors

is way more fun than doing dishes. :)

How cute are they?! hehe.

I love how sienna says "giddy up HOR-seeeee".... ;)
