Zoeys Attic

With Back to School here for me, I am always in need of something new to start out the year!  I absolutely love personalized shirts. I was very happy to get a new back to school shirt from Zoey’s Attic.

About Zoey’s Attic:

Zoey’s Attic was launched in November 2006 by the creator and owner, Erin Delanty. She got the inspiration shortly after she had her first child. She had a hard time finding unique newborn baby tees as did her friends.

Erin has a background as a graphic designer, as well as a web developer. The initial idea of the store was to create a web-based sop where people could involve all members of the family in exciting “baby news” by offering a variety of shirts for the entire family to enjoy.

DSCF3908Music is a staple in this house 🙂 My girls are all about listening to music and busting a move!  I was very excited to be able to check out Kidz Bop 24, and I must admit that it was definitely a hit in this house.

About Kidz Bop:

If you are unfamiliar with Kidz Bop, I would be happy to fill you in. Kidz Bop takes popular songs that are ‘Today’s Hits’ and makes them  appropriate for children. It changes the words and sometimes theme of the song, while still allowing the song to sound the same. This is huge for parents who like popular music, but are always hindered by listening to the radio because of the songs that are constantly being played.

About Kidz Bop 24:

This is Today’s biggest hits that are sung by kids for kids.

WIN Pajaminals Board Book and Plush Toy

My daughter loves to read. I don’t think there’s anything else she would rather do than cuddle up with my husband or I and read. So, when we found out the popular children’s show Pajanimals (Running Press Kids) teamed up with The Jim Henson Company  to make a book, we were completely and 100% sold!

As a mom, it is so important for me to see my daughter enjoy reading.
I love the fact that Sweet Pea Sue Makes a New Friend encourages my daughter to use her imagination. It also teaches her not to be afraid of people (or things) that are different than she is. In fact, after reading this book to her a few times, I’ve noticed that her own fears have decreased a little bit! She no longer screams at the sight of mannequins at the store when I remind her of Sweet Pea Sue and her friend Ellie. That, my friends, is a huge accomplishment!

Sweet Pea Sue book

Not only does this book have a great message, but it also includes reusable stickers that you can stick on each page to make the book “come to life”.  I mean, could it get better than that?

With 10 Chapters to go through you have plenty to choose from, the Brown Bag basics which is tips to keep food cool till lunch, portion sizes and more. Planning is important, there’s a section on this and it will help even the most unorganized parent prepare lunch easier. Don’t skip this chapter!

Not skipping the main bulk is fruits and vegetables, little extras to add in there for the kids and even a section for some healthy treats like Rosie’s Energy Balls and more. I like the additional chapters for after school snacks. Yet another daily thing that parents like myself sometimes come to dread. You just serve the same things over and over, well Katie helps take you through the steps and tips to kick up not only your kids lunch box meal but after-school goodies the kids will adore you for!

WIN Great Back-To-School Clothing with @FrenchToastcom

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate my post. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

Little Man is about to enter Kindergarten- which is both very exciting, and making me feel like a sad sack all at the same time, LOL. He will be attending a school that requires uniforms, which will make getting dressed in the morning all that much easier.

french toast

He looks like such a big boy! Everything (but the spiderman shirt) he is wearing is from French Toast, the clothing and school uniform company. We did shop around, and I can say without a doubt that this is the fastest, easiest, and least expensive way to get his uniforms. I think it is also the best, and though this year his school is not registered with French Toast, I hope to encourage them to to so by next year. I was not thrilled having to go to a store 25 minutes away, stand in line, make my order, then wait 30 minutes more to have it filled just for a few things that needed to be embroidered. VERY annoying. French Toast does it all- plus faster, less costly, and delivers to my door with the same school uniform quality you would get in the pricey store. BLAH.
