Fairytale Tutu's Review & Giveaway -- ENDED

Winning comment is #5!

DD has been taking ballet lessons for over a year now. She LOVES taking her lessons and I love that she is getting lots of exercise while having fun at the same time. Although DD already had a bag she was using for her ballet clothes and shoes, it was not as cute as the one we received to review from Fairy Tale Tutu's.

The company sent her an adorable bag personalized with her name. She got to pick the ribbon color as well as the tulle color. The bag also comes with a removable flower hair clip that DD sometimes wears just for fun.

DD loves her new bag because it is so girly. She calls it her princess bag. I love that it is just the right size for her ballet supplies and with her name right on the bag, there is very little chance that we will lose it. I thought that the bag was very well made and all of DD's ballet friends think that her bag is really pretty.

To buy your own personalized bag, please visit the Fairy Tale Tutu's website to make your purchase.

Many thanks to Fairy Tale Tutu's. The company has generously offered 1 personalized bag as a giveaway prize to one of my lucky readers (US residents only please). The giveaway winner will have her choice of tulle color, embroidery color, ribbon choice (zebra, polka dots, peace signs, too many to list) and topped

BobbleRoos Toddler Pillow With Blanket Review & Giveaway -- ENDED

Winning comment is #92!

I worked with BobbleRoos last year to review a set of toddler pillow with blanket. DD has been using the set since. This year, I was given the chance to work with BobbleRoos again to do another review & giveaway. DD was excited to have a new set of toddler pillow and blanket from the company.

The set she received has cute monkey prints on it.

Since we have been using BobbleRoos products, we are pretty familiar with the nice quality. I love that the toddler pillow is just the right size for DD. It is just big enough for her to rest her head on it comfortably during nap time at her preschool, but not so large that I could not stuff it in her school package. The set is also prefect for visiting grandparents. My friends and I have been talking about letting the kids do sleep overs, so I am sure that this set of pillow and blanket will come in very handy for that as well.

To buy your own children's bedding, please visit BobbleRoos to make your purchase.

Many thanks to BobbleRoos. The company has generously offered 1 set of Toddler Pillow With Blanket as a giveaway prize to one of my lucky readers (US residents only please).

Green World Bags Review & Giveaway -- ENDED

Winning comment is #84!

We use a lot of reusable bags at home. Both my husband and I have reusable bags in our cars for shopping trips, even DD has her own reusable bags. As such, I was excited to be working with Green World Bags to review their eco friendly usable shopping bags.

The company sent me 3 different bags to review. I thought the bags were sturdy. I also thought that they would be great for grocery shopping, for transporting my daughter's stuff (trips to swimming lessons, to the park and so forth) and even as reusable gift bags. Instead of packing gifts in paper gift wraps or paper gift bags, think about how nice it would be to present a gift in a nice eco friendly bag so that they can reuse the bag.

I like the bags I received to review, but I especially like the Pink Zinnia Bag. When you buy the Pink Zinnia Bag, A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

To purchase your own eco friendly bag for a good cause, please visit Green World Bags to make your purchase. You can enter coupon code ED2009 to receive 20% off on any of their product.

Many thanks to Green World Bags. The company has generously offered a giveaway prize to one of my lucky readers (US residents only please).

Liliputians Birthday Shirt Review & Giveaway -- ENDED

Winning comment is #196!

Every year, I made it a point to get a birthday shirt for DD. Now that she is in preschool, in additional to celebrating her birthday with her friends and family, she also gets to celebrate her birthday at the preschool. DD is very proud of her age and she loves all of the attentions she gets on her special day.

Liliputians offer a wide variety of birthday shirts (from size 6 months to 8) to those of us who want to make sure that our kids have just the right outfit on their special day. I got to pick whatever design I wanted, and since DD and I love cupcakes, we ended up getting this cute shirt.

The birthday shirt has the age as well as same number of cupcakes on the shirt. What little girl would not love to wear this on her birthday?!

I thought the shirt we received to review was soft and well made. DD is literally counting down the days to her birthday (although it is still a few months away, but she could hardly wait).

To check out and purchase the many unique and cute items Liliputians carries, please visit its website.

Many thanks to Liliputians. The company has generously offered 1 birthday shirt (winner's choice) as a giveaway prize to one of my lucky readers (US residents only please).

My Baby Clothes Boutique Review & 25 Dollars Gift Card Giveaway -- ENDED

Winning comment is #129!

My baby Clothes Boutique is a clothing store that offers a lot of adorable, chic baby clothes. I was recently lucky enough to have received this cute onesie to review.

The onesie is soft and made from a high quality fabric. Although it is meant for a baby boy, but I think it will look adorable on a baby girl also. I can't wait to put this on the new baby :).

One of the things I really like about My Baby Clothes Boutique is that the company packed the onesie very well and shipped very quickly too. I was impressed by the level of customer service that the company offers.

To buy some cute clothes for your baby boy for baby girl, please visit My baby Clothes Boutique.

Many thanks to My Baby Clothes Boutique. The company has generously offered a $25 gift card as a giveaway prize to one of my lucky reader (US residents only please).

Our Review:
If you did not get a chance to see this movie in the theater, I highly recommend picking it up from the stores when it is released on November 2nd. My husband and I took our daughter to see it in the theater, and we LOVED it! Typically, sequels are never as good as the first film, but we really thought that Toy Story 3 was our favorite out of all three. It is one of our favorite movies. I am not going spoil the movie for you by telling you what exactly what happens, but toward the end of the film, these was a scene where the toys were holding hands and they thought that they were going to die. It was a very touching and emotional scene, I started a cry a little and when I turned to look at my husband, I noticed that he got teary eyes too (shhhh, don't tell anyone). While it is a great kids' film, it is also a wonderful films for adults to enjoy as well. I thought the relationship between Ken and Barbie was really funny. I was also excited to see that Totoro made a cameo in Toy Story 3. Totoro is created by Hayao Miyazaki who is a long term friend of Pixar founder John Lasseter. I love Miyazaki's work and Totoro was one of my childhood favorite film/chartacer (I not so secretly wish that I have a bed in the shape of Totoro-- yes, that's the nerd in me talking), so I was excited to see Totoro in the movie as well. We are so glad that we got a review copy and we are planning on having a playdate at our new house (once we are all settle in) so that DD's friends can enjoy the movie with her.

Musselman's Apple Sauce Review & Giveaway -- ENDED

Winning comment is #46!

Awhile back, I worked with Musselman's to review and host a giveaway of their apple sauce. My daughter loves their apple sauce. She is very picky when it comes to apple sauce. Frankly, she had refused to eat any sort of apple sauce until she tried Musselman's apple sauce. So, when the company emailed me and told me that they just released 2 new favors and we were offered the chance to review them, there was no way I was going to turn it down. The two new favors are Healthy Picks Granny Smith and Totally Fruit Mixed Berry.

Just like the last time we reviewed Musselman's Apple Sauce, DD was in love with the new favors as well. She likes to eat them as dessert after dinner and sometimes I would give her one when she gets home from school in the afternoon.

I love that Musselman's Apple Sauce is naturally sweeten with fruit juice and tastes great! It is truly a snack that the whole family enjoys. To buy your own Musselman's Apple Sauce, please visit its website for retail stores near you.

Many thanks to Musselman's. The company has generously offered the same products we received to review as giveaway prizes to one of my lucky readers (US residents only please).

Real Nappies Cloth Diaper Intro Pack Review & Giveaway -- ENDED

Winning comment is #230

Haven't used cloth diapers before, but ready to give them a try? Having babies can be very expensive, so I think that using cloth diapers is a great way to keep your expenses down. Real Nappies offers intro pack at very reasonable prices so that you can give it a try without feeling like if you decide to use disposable diapers you would be wasting a lot of money trying out something you were not sure about in the first place.

I received an intro pack to try out, and I was impressed by how quickly my package arrived. The intro pack included 1 Cloth Diaper , 1 Snug Wrap Diaper Cover and 1 Bioliner Diaper Liner. It includes all of the essentials you need to get started for the first time.

The one thing I really like about the Real Nappies cloth diaper is how easy it is to used. It is constructed in very much the same way as a disposable diaper (with the adjustable velcro tabs), so using it is a breeze.

If you are new to cloth diapering, I recommend giving the Real Nappies Intro Pack a try. Please visit Real Nappies to make your purchases.

Many thanks to Real Nappies. The company has generously offered 1 intro pack as a giveaway prize to one of my lucky readers (US residents only please).

Construction Photos

Construction Day: 40
Most of the ceiling fans have been installed. This is the ceiling fan in DH's office. The light outside of our new home got installed too.

The ceiling fan in the living room.

Construction Day: 41
The carpet got installed today. It took most of the day and I had to leave before they finished to pick up DD from school & take her to swimming lesson. So, I was not able to get photos of what it looks like when they are all done. Our contractor stayed behind to make sure everything gets done properly though. Here's a photo of the messy carpet.
