PuppeTees Review

When is the last time you had a puppet emergency? (That’s when it’s apparent you’re a parent, for sure.)
This usually occurs in our house when a puppet is MIA. Or maybe its puppet time and the stage can’t be set.
Check out PuppeTees. Puppetees are stage and puppet built into one singular package, be it a tote or a T-shirt. The puppets are well crafted detailed finger puppets. So these are perfect for little hands and fingers.

We had the pleasure of giving the Town Square T-shirt a try. The shirt is a good fit for Little Man, he loves playing with puppets and this shirt is such a good idea. [Read more…]

Tim’s Boots- THE place to go for your footwear!

My son recently ruined his old cowboy boots. I should have bought him a better quality pair, seeing that he believes himself to be a farmer. I thought he would wear them more for dress up then for going out. Boy, was I wrong. I had bought him a very inexpensive pair of boots in August, and they just didn’t stand up to Little Boy play. My Little Man is not even tough on clothes and shoes, so I was mad!

It’s too bad I didn’t find Tim’s Boots before I bought him that junky pair. Tim’s Boots offers quality boots for the whole family, at a variety of prices and styles. There is something for everyone- and this momma is eying up a few of these gorgeous boots.

My Little Man nearly lost his mind when he opened up the box and saw these great kids cowboy boots– he has worn them everyday since- even with sweatpants, and he tried to wear them to bed. Clearly I drew the line there. But these look great, even two weeks later- check it out- daily wear, parks, playgrounds, school, etc- and they still look fresh out of the box new.

Cookies Kids- Part 2- An Online Shop With Mastercard #CBias

So- you all know how much I love Cookies KidsThe Kids Department Store– from my last shop with them in New York. BUT- now I get to tell you all about shopping with them online!

Shopping with Cookies Kids online was so easy, I could even do it from my hotel room while my kids relaxed and watched some TV! Yeah, OK, I was a bad mom today, I let them watch TV for a half hour, LOL. We were up SOOOO late last night, they are a little tired and needed a break before the days activites. But I digress. Back to Cookies!

My daughter had fun choosing a pair of boots– she chose these Eddie Marc’s in black.
My Little Man wanted the Brobee Hat, so we got it for him. They each got coats, and new socks (because for some reason my kids go through socks like water), new sweatpants, jeans, Little got a sweatsuit outfit, Kamikaze got a shirt….ahhh, to see it all, just go check out my Google Plus story shop πŸ™‚

I love Cookies Kids, I will be a regular shopper from now on. They are great to shop at both online and in person. The in-person staff is friendly and helpful- [Read more…]

W!N Big Red Tulip Boutique! Enter Here! 50.00 G!veaway @RedTulipBoutiqu

Red Tulip– everything for a city girl or a cowgirl! Your one-stop shop for all things home, accessory, shoes, jewelry, and decor!

I have a best friend who loves all things western. She is all about riding horses as well- and the girl does spend a lot of time on them! Since Red Tulip Boutique has gifts for both the Country Girl and City Girl- or the suburban girl, as the case may be!- it’s a great place to shop this year. I let my girlfriend pick out a purse from this site, since I knew she would go bananas for it- but when it got here I was SOOOOO jealous!

This is the Amanda Buckle Hobo in Black faux leather with a Tooled look- super cute. It’s fully lined, single handle, top zipper, inside pockets, back zippered pocket, and rests on four feet.
Speaking of cute- how cute is this???

The All Girls Rodeo Burnout Tee by Original Cowgirl Clothing Company- and if I had seen this shirt, my girlfriend may not have gotten the purse, LOL. OK- she would have still- but I LOVE [Read more…]

Our Shopping Trip and Why I #LuvCookies

We jsut got back from our shopping trip to the Bronx, NY, to go to Cookies, The Kids Department Store. The store we visited was located at 1534 Westchester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472.

There was on the street parking- and believe it or not- I FOUND PARKING! Lol. While we did hit major, major traffic to get there, it was a god trip and my first time to a Cookies location. My son and husband came with me to the store, and we decided to make an afternoon of it. My Little Man recently went through a growth spurt, and he really needed some new threads, so this was a great time to shop! We are also going to Florida soon, so he will have fun sporting his new clothes. He was really excited, since I let him help choose his own clothes. He felt like such a big boy!

Cookies Kids has a whole lot to choose from in the way of school uniforms- but today we were shopping for regular, everyday clothes. The prices were very reasonable to extremely inexpensive. While I think I am more likely to shop online at CookiesKids.com in the future- the location was a little crowded for me, I get a little freaked out in super large crowds or tight spaces- there is no way we won’t shop at Cookies again.

The selection at this store was great, from infants all the way to boys size 20 and girls size 16. They also stocked toys, baby bottles and sippy [Read more…]

@Aetrex Berries Boots- perfect for the Fall (and winter!)

How much do you love a great pair of shoes? I know- there is nothing better! Aetrex offers so many fabulous varieties, that are not only lovely to look at, but healthy for your feet. They feel as great as they look.

I was sent this gorgeous pair of Berries Mid Calf Boots for review- and I love them. At first, they seemed like they were going to be too tight- they felt really snug when I put them on, but after about 20 minutes they relaxed and became the most comfortable boots ever. Odd phenomena- they do this every time I wear them. It is not uncomfortable, just a little snug- but then the relaxing of the boots comes and AHHH….I love how versatile that they are, and that they go with everything.

I even wore them with my Renaissance Princess costume on Halloween, LOL. These boots also come in Tall Boots style, and are just as pretty!
Aetrex shoes specializes in shoes that are good for your feet. They make shoes that feel good to walk in, and can have all sorts of great benefits for your body, from helping your posture to relieving foot pressure.

What better way to start your day then with a warm pair of awesome socks? The answer- nada, except maybe warm socks and a good breakfast. πŸ˜‰

I had the pleasure of giving the new Smartwool Outdoor light crew socks a try from Appalachian Outdoors. These socks are warm, supportive and a very nice way to keep your feet protected from the every wear and tear they normally receive from running, hiking, biking, or walking for that matter. Yes, and chasing kids πŸ˜›
