YAY!  Another FABULOUS giveaway to start the weekend off  right! I have been in love with Lisa Leonard Designs for a long time, and literally drooled over pretty much everything she makes.  So, when they sent me the teenie tiny initials necklace I was SO SO excited!!  I have been wanting a necklace with my kids' initials on it forever, and this was {perfect}. I have a lot of kids, lol. I really am a HAPPY person, despite my lack of a smile in this picture!  I received the necklace a couple of days before I had the baby, and I really wanted to take a picture of me wearing it for this post. However...at that point I wasn't leaving the house too often, so I took these right before … [Read more...]

It's Baby Time| Pregnancy Reveal Printable with Craftaholics Anonymous | simplykierste.com

Hi there! Looking for a fun, yet quirky way to reveal to your significant other that YOU'RE PREGNANT?? Well, I have the printable for you! Hi, I'm Linda from Craftaholics Anonymous® and I'm so excited that Kierste invited me over to play today! This is how I told my hubby a few months ago that we were expecting Baby #3 {due in June!} and it was hilarious! I put the saying on a bag of mini snickers {get it?} and handed it to him first thing when he walked in the door from work. It took him a few seconds {seemed like an eternity!} to process what I was telling him. When he caught on, he thought it was so funny! And loved his special treat. You could put this on his favorite treat or a … [Read more...]

I ADORE bow ties.  To me, there isn't anything much cuter on a little boy, and I have to admit I'm obsessed.  Last year I discovered a darling etsy shop called Little Vy's, where I found the perfect yellow gingham bow ties for my twin boys for Easter.  I love dressing little boys, and adding fun bow tie or tie is one of my favorite things! I love Vy's selection of both ties and bow ties, and she has them for every occasion. My favorites are always gingham, plaids, and argyles... See?  TOTALLY cute. Vy is giving away one lucky reader a gingham neck tie AND bow tie...in their choice of color!!!  Just follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter box below! She is also giving … [Read more...]
