World Breastfeeding Week Giveaway

August 1st through August 7th is 2016’s World Breastfeeding Week. 2016’s theme is about how breastfeeding is a key element in getting us to think about how to value our wellbeing from the start of life, how to respect each other and care for the world we share. My breastfeeding journey has been one of the most precious times of my life. Supporting a mother who chooses to breastfeeding their child is key to their success. When a nursing mother is judged, shamed, denied time or a place to feed their baby it is not only effecting that child’s growth but that mother’s mindset of their breastfeeding experience. This week highlights a women choice to breastfeed and all things that go along with that choice.

Crayola Back To School 2016

Crayola Doodle Scents

With the summer winding down we have to face reality and the fact that it’s officially back to school season. Sign and moan, cheer and grin, each person has their own thoughts and emotions that go along with the back to school season. I love back to school season for a few different reasons, mostly because I know that my kids love learning.

I was talking to my best friend about sending our children back to school the other day. She lives in Texas and her children go to a private school. Just like my little girl, her children are incredibly bright and love all of their lessons at The Fay School. A lot of parents find that private school is ideal for academically gifted children, so once my daughter grows up, I will have to do some research to see whether a private school might be a good fit for her too.

Anyway, when my daughter started preschool last year she was excited but didn’t really know why. This fall she will be attending preschool again and she is fully aware of the awesomeness that comes with school. She is starting a new school with all new students in her class. She is a very social girl, so I don’t have to fret over her too much. But I do want to make sure that she is prepared as well as she can be. Knowing that I have Crayola on my side, puts us on the right track for success for this school year.

Crayola Finding Dory

Look for Crayola products online at Amazon or at your local big box retailer for the latest back to school products

crayola crayons 2016

Each year Crayola features all the back to school basics that our children will need to succeed. From the childhood basics like crayons and markers, the more advanced products like easels and art kits, I know that with Crayola I can find the products that are on my list. By keeping up with what is new and popular Crayola provides us with themed products like Frozen, Shopkins, Finding Dory, Minions and Star Wars. The added bonus of seeing a favorite character on your marker makes your child’s imagination soar. Giving them the creative juices they need to make their new masterpiece.

Our favorite back to school supply this year are Crayola’s new Doodle Scents. These hilarious scented markers brought back so much nostalgia and memories for me. I fondly remember sitting around drawing doodles with my little brother (who is now a teacher mind you) and giggling as we joyfully sniffed at our scented markers. In the past few decades the science and creativity behind these markers has really amazed me. When my daughter started scrambling trying to get all the lids off to smell each and every maker I couldn’t help but be filled with excited with her. Then we came across a marker with an elephant trunk and a hairy brown character. She shouted out, “it’s elephant poop!” I didn’t believe her at first, but after glancing at the image and taking a deep whiff myself, I laughed along with her, because it surely was a poop scented marker (click here to see an Instagram video of this moment). Thinking like a child and creative perfect products for them is how Crayola has maintained the powerhouse they are today. Don’t delay and pick up your Crayola products today!

Handmade by Ozella Review

Putting your kid in cute clothing is one of the most fun parts about being a parent. Doll them up in spiffy new outfits. In my house my daughter is obsessed with dresses and skirts. All things highly feminine is the key to her toddler heart. The bigger the swirling action that a ‘tutu’ can give the better.

So many people sell children’s clothing, but what really makes children’s clothing stand out? After pondering this for some time I came to the conclusion that quality, correct fit & affordability are what you look for in all children’s clothing. If those 3 key elements are checked off then odds are you are going to purchase the outfit.

At a local art show I noticed a booth that really stood out. I walked up and the owner was just as friendly as can be and her clothing was stunning. The prints and designs were so steller that I didn’t want to leave the booth. I kept gawking at piece after piece. Once I really examined the clothing I could see that the seams and cuts were perfection. These garments are not quickly thrown together, but carefully and thoughtfully made. I showed the outfits my daughter models here to a mother-like friend of mine. She has been sewing or years and really knows her stuff. The first thing she commented on that “these were exceptionally made” and that “whoever made these was really talented and knew what they were doing.” Wow, right?!

Handmade by Ozella specializes in little girls dresses and little boy ties/suspenders. These classic garments are perfect for holidays, parties, outings and everyday wear. With the average price of only $25 for a dress, they are perfect for playing in too. She also makes scarves, purses, headbands and shorts! She can custom make some orders, so just reach out to her through Etsy and see if she can take on an order you may have been pondering.

This Mama’s Experience

I cannot say enough positive things about Handmade by Ozella. Her clothing is such a quality its as if it came from a boutique. Her uses high quality materials, her perfectly sew clothing and accessories along with her eye for fashion and design you will never be bored looking at her shop. With new designs and prints constantly coming out as fashion moves forward, you will be wanting to favorite this shop without any doubt.

Horse Skirt from Handmade By Ozella

Every outfit from Handmade by Ozella is perfect for family photos, first day of school, school photos, special occasions and everyday use.

My daughter was tickled pink when our package arrived. She is 3, turning 4, and all about the “princess dress”. If it doesn’t twirl she is not about to wear it. Handmade by Ozella’s designs give her room to move and play, but are durable for everyday play. When I put the headbands on her she was speechless. I think it gave her the feeling like a crown or tiara. Something matching in her hair that made her feel a step lighter. She typically doesn’t like headbands in her hair, but these are soft and easy to wear, making her keep them on for longer than I honestly ever expected. She constantly picks out her Handmade by Ozella outfits to wear, I know she really does favor them.
