I get offered to do giveaways quite a bit – and I’ve decided to pool the giveaways into monthly group giveaways. More fun for you – easier administratively for me. This months cute giveaways include:
This adorable nursery baby wipe case from Ajo.Bebe in Beyond Flowers fabric. Ajo.Bebe sells other adorable baby accessories – my favorite is the reversible stroller liner. They are also offering a 15% off coupon code here.
This cute Button Trim Ponte plus size dress from FashionToFigure.com. They sell trendy plus size clothing including one of my favorites, the stripe jersey with vest.
And last but not least, these earrings are so “me”. Confectionary Trinket sells gorgeous jewelry – and while these earrings are my favorite, I also love this Journey Antique Bronze necklace.
Good luck – enter by commenting on this post by Thursday July 8th 12:00pm PST, winner will be announced the following day. Thank you to our giveaway vendors!
I’ve always known a newborn is a lot of work, but WOAH, a newborn is a lot of work! I’m easing into the usual activities that used to make up my day; cooking, cleaning, designing, blogging… but it all happens around Owen’s schedule.

{update 01/16/2011: I’ve been using the drawer in the diaper caddy to hold the trash bags for our diaper trash can. Holds the roll of refill bags PERFECTLY!}

We change an inordinate amount of diapers. My husband and I are changing his diaper before each feeding at least {a minimum of 10 times per day} and throw in an extra two or three for when he’s being a super performer!
I don’t always have the wherewithall, and baby doesn’t always have the patience for me to make it to the changing table. JJ Cole sent me this fabulous solution: their diaper caddy! They, of course, sent me the perfect “solid slate” that matches all things Owen. So when his 2 a.m. feeding hits, I can change baby’s diaper, get him fed, swaddled, and back to sleep all in the same room!
In my caddy now: newborn diapers, vaseline, bag balm, wipes, and the included changing pad. LOVE this product {as well as other JJ Cole products, like the Bundle Me, their hip diaper bags, travel head support and muslin blanket set.}
Comment to win this “solid slate” grey diaper caddy. Contest will be open to U.S. residents 18 and over until Friday May 7th 12:00pm PST. Good luck!

… Back to business – sorry for the 8 lb. 8 oz. delay!



Congrats! {And thanks for the well-wishes!}
Unfortunately the lack of posts this week doesn’t mean that {oh baby} has made an early arrival. BUT – let’s celebrate anyway!
As you may remember, I used Pat Bravo’s beautiful Medallion Teal fabric for the crib bedding in the nursery, and I am still totally in love with it.
And lucky for us, Pat Bravo has so graciously decided to host a giveaway!

I LOVE this collection, after falling in love with it at a local quilting store.
