Pinky Bleu Review + Discount + Giveaway - CLOSED

I must start off by saying how unique and fabulous the name of this highlighted Etsy shop is:

"I married Mr. Rogers...and now I have three kids, one Pinky and two Bleu's!"

Gotta love it!

Pinky Bleu first drew my attention with it's DARLING Euro Mini-Suitcases.

Now if that isn't cute enough, looking inside will make you smile even more.

(check out the organic cotton tie onesie's above....so perfect for a little man!)


Filled with wonderful goodies, The Maggie & The Georgie are PERFECT gifts for any baby or child!

Kimberly, the creator of Pinky Bleu, has two little boys who loved playing with these suitcases that were intended for decoration & storage....so obviously if they love playing with them, other children will too!

The Mini-Suitcases come in small, medium, & large.

Kimberly sent me a Mini-Suitcase for my daughter to test out. It was so cute wrapped in a beautiful ribbon that I didn't even want to open it...but my daughter did :) Inside we found a personalized hoodie with her initial on it. SO DARLING!!! I fell in love with it immediately and so did she.

Pinky Bleu also offers a handmade hoodie vest that is so versatile (not to mention cute) that it can be worn in all four seasons!

I think my favorite part is the little bird on the back shoulder that can only be seen when the hood is up :)

Ok...now the best news.

Pinky Bleu is offering 10% off your order through the end of December!!! (coupon code:OrganicMamas10)

AND she is giving away one small Lil'Bleu or Lil'Pinky suitcase with a shirt/onsie inside!!

Tiny Lu Review + Discount + Giveaway

Tiny Lu, specializing in modern French-style memo boards, is an Etsy shop for every woman who wants (or needs) to get organized!

Jenny, the creator of Tiny Lu, has an eye for beautiful fabric which she pairs with grosgrain ribbon to display your notes, cards, photos and more!

Each Memo Board is 11x13, lightly padded, very lightweight and easy to hang with an attached ribbon. I received one to test out and I have to say it is very well made. I put it by my front door so now my little notes that are usually just stuck here and there are displayed nicely in my Belle Pink Memo Board. It's a mother's dream to feel somewhat organized :)

Jenny has also ventured into the blogging arena recently. Take a second to check out her very fun blog: http://www.rainydaygal.com/ She has a Whopper Brownie Cupcake recipe that is to die for, I was drooling over the pictures!

But for now let's take a peek at some of my favorite Memo Boards Tiny Lu offers:

Amy Butler Lotus Coral Fabric Memo Board

Ginseng Stone Memo Board

Belle Pink Memo Board

Nestings Review + Giveaway

Nestings is one of my all time favorite Etsy shops.

Unique. Simple. Timeless.

Alison, the owner and creator of Nestings, is a graduate student who uses her Etsy shop to "blow off creative steam." I was originally drawn to Nestings because of the fabric storage boxes that I saw there, but it seems like everyday Nestings is adding more and more beautiful items that are sure to keep viewers coming back for more. No wonder she was recently one of the 20 finalists in the Martha Stewart DIY contest!

I received a set of the Birds on a Wire Storage Bins to review and I must say they are exquisite. Very well made. They are a perfect addition to my home and a perfect place to store books, keys...anything! And they would make a PERFECT present for someone special.

Let's take a peek at some of my favorite items from Nestings...

Sprout Fabric Storage Containers

Orchid Garden - available as a PDF tutorial as well

Inflections Demitasse Set


Sweet Rose Bouquet - available as a PDF tutorial as well

The best news is that Nestings is giving away one Custom Storage Bin to one of you!!! The winner can choose any combination of size, design, fabric and add as many extras (handles, pockets, knitting needle sleeves) as they want.

For Little Ones Review & Montessori Giveaway - CLOSED

Since I love Montessori so much I could literally buy everything offered at For Little Ones on Etsy. For Little Ones is run by a young Montessori trained pre-school teacher in Colorado Springs who has a passion for making materials for children.

I'll give you a sneak peak at her items but you'll definitely want to go to her Etsy shop to check out the rest!

Here is a Clothes Pin Activity which is a great way to enhance your child's fine motor skills and muscles through a color matching activity.

This next activity was sent to me for my daughter to try out. The Treasure Chest Color Sorting Activity is a great way to reinforce the child's visual sense of the colors as well as his/her ability to sort objects.

This activity is suggested for 3 years and up. However I did let my daughter use it with close supervision. She is under 2 years and LOVED the look of it, she was so excited to use it! She had mastered color sorting previous to this activity but the red & orange were really challenging for her in this activity. I was excited about that since you always want to give your child a challenge or they get bored with it. I can definitely recommend this product with first-hand experience!





And of course the exciting part is that For Little Ones is giving away a Treasure Chest Activity to one of you!!!

To enter into this giveaway: (only open to U.S. residents)
