PaperSpring Personalized Holiday Cards Review & $50 Giftcard Giveaway!

It is about time to consider what you are going to do for your Holiday Cards! The holidays will be here before we know it, and I know you don't want to wait til the last minute. Why not go to Paperspring for some cute personalized greeting cards to make it quick and easy? 

 
Exclusive to Paperspring is Digital Name Art™ (DNA). DNA brings personalization to a new level of creativity; the sophisticated technology enables customers to spell out names using digital images. By selecting a card design and sending a list of recipient names, each card is customized and more personal. I was fortunate enough to be able to get my own DNA greetings for the holidays!! I love them and was so happy with how they came out!

These  are the holidays cards I chose!  The Holiday Lights card caught my eye because of the cute theme and the way you can add the names for the recipients! I also love how I was able to get our names printed in the inside.  This means less time having to write cards and put everyone's names inside! Now I can simply write a little message, seal stamp and go! I even got some nice personalized labels to go on the outside. And for a fee, you can order your cards pre-addressed and even stamped, so all you have to do is stick them in the mail! How simple is that?

I really appreciated how customer service called me to make sure they had the names right before printing my order. Somehow my names list got lost, and the kind customer service rep took the time to call twice and make sure we got the order straightened out before it went to print! The cards also shipped quickly and this made me super happy! Even if you waited a little to get your cards, you could get them in plenty of time to ship out!

I also made this super cute Valentine's day card for my hubby from our girls: 

These cards are super cute and you can get as few or as many as you want! These were a great way to make a cute personalized Valentine's day card! They would be great for personalized cards for your child's school!  There are a wide variety of the DNA cards to choose from! And of course Paperspring offers so much more!

Pink Princess Review & Giftcard Giveaway!

For Halloween, I had the most BRILLIANT idea! Okay, so I actually should credit my sister in law for helping me come up with this. We decided me and my 3 little girlies should dress up as bees....them as honey bees and me as the "queen bee".  How cute is that!?!? Well I wondered where to get a super cute Honey Bee costume, and I found the perfect one at Pink Princess!!  They have Halloween Costumes, Flower girl dresses,boys formal and more!

The Honey Bee Kids Costume was a super cute choice!  I love the leg warmers, although they aren't super thick.  I am going to be putting black leggings underneath for an extra layer, paired with some sort of black jacket.  This way the outfit still shows and my girlies can be super warm!  The outfit is beautiful and my girls were so excited to get it!  I was really impressed with the shipping time! I ordered it on Tuesday the 21st, and it arrived on Friday the 24th! That was a quick shipment I think! This costume is super cute and at $24.99 its a great deal, because it comes with the headband, wings, leg warmers and dress!!

My little honey bee

I am definitely going to be looking at Pink Princess for Holiday Dresses for my girls!  One thing I really like about Pink Princess is that they usually have sizes for all my girls, so I can match them!  I know, maybe its cheesy, but I think 3 little matching girls at Christmas is perfect!! I like this dress:

It is the Burgundy Stretch Velvet Top with Embossed Taffeta Skirt. Dresses at Pink Princess range in different sizes. Some dresses range from 0-3 months up to size 10 girls. This particular dress is available sizes 2t-7 girls.  This would be great for my kids, since they are all within that size range.  If you browse, you can pretty much find what you are looking for in any type of formal wear.  Their dresses are beautiful and they are high quality!

Pink Princess has offered my blog readers a chance to win a $15 gift certificate!! Read on to see how to win!!:

"Set a Place at the Kids' Table" with Frigidaire and Jennifer Garner!

At any family gathering, it's easy to predict where the loudest laughs and silliest squeal will be coming from- the kid's table! Just like turkey and all the trimmings, the kids' table is a holiday tradition where good times rule. This year, Frigidaire and Jennifer Garner are asking everyone to set a place at their "virtual kid's table" for a child in need.

This great new campaign supports Save the Children's efforts and ensures that kids have access to healthy foods this holiday season and all year long. Starting today, at MakeTimeforChange.com, when you set a place at the virtual kids' table, Frigidaire will donate $1 to support Save the Children's work to help children in need in the U.S., as part of their $500,000 commitment to this worthy cause[1].  Plus, to help spread the word, everyone who participates will be entered for a chance to win a new Frigidaire Professional^® Range.

[1]From 10/5/10 to 1/31/11, Frigidaire will donate $1 to Save the Children's U.S. Programs every time someone sets a place at the virtual kids' table, with a minimum of $40K and a maximum of $45K.

I was not compensated for this post, I was entered in a contest to win a brand-new Frigidaire Professional® Range!  Photos from MomSelect!

Ring in the Summer with Radio Flyer!

July 4th weekend is almost upon us, which means one thing- patriotic celebrations all wrapped up in red, white and blue! Families all over our great country will be heading to parks, beaches and backyard barbecues to commemorate the occasion with fireworks, sparklers and other symbols of Independence Day. And many of them will be pulling behind them another American icon in a certain signature color- a Radio Flyer Wagon!

Since 1917, the famous little red wagons by Radio Flyer have been a favorite of families and kids everywhere. Boasting more than a dozen award-winning wagon models and a complete line of tricycles, scooters, and other ride-ons, Radio Flyer is as synonymous with outdoor play as summer itself.

There are endless ways to enjoy your little red wagon, from standing out in the crowd at the Fourth of July parade, to toting all the ingredients for a fun summer picnic. Not only will your red wagon provide hours of outdoor adventures, it will bring a lifetime of memories too. That's why Radio Flyer is celebrating the beginning of summer by launching the World's Largest Wagon Mosaic. Simply capture your families' Radio Flyer moments on camera and go to www.RadioFlyerArt.com to add your photo and help the legacy of the little red wagon live on!

I was not monetarily compensated for this post. I was offered a chance to win a prize in exchange for the post.
