Zoe Clothing Co. Giveaway!

Hi Guys! 

I'm so excited to introduce you to one of my new favorite companies

Zoe Clothing Co.!

They have the coolest scripture inspired clothing for kids and adults. 

Here's what they are all about...

"Zoe" in Greek means life and represents the new life we have in Christ:

"And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life (zoe), and this life (zoe) is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life (zoe); whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life (zoe)."

— 1 John 5:11-12

As Christians, this new life — zoe — defines who we are. Our goal is to live out this truth in the way that we practice business and in the passion that we put into designing our clothing. We have created a line that is not only on the cutting edge of fashion, but also represents God's living and perfect Word. We hope that the simple messages of our clothing will be a light to others (Matthew 5:14-16), and an encouragement to the the one wearing it (Psalm 1:1-2).

God bless you as you live your new life (zoe) in Christ!

Zoe company was gracious enough to send us some of their products to try out and after seeing them in person I can personally tell you that they are great quality and just as cool as they look online. 

Wesley is sporting the Fight the Good Fight tee which is his new favorite piece of clothing. 

He has worn it every day since it arrived in the mail. 

No joke. 

Kenzie is wearing this Fruit of the Spirit tee.

It's so soft and comfy!

Our prayer is that the Fruits of the Spirit would be evident in her life as she shines the light of Jesus to those around her!

And Maddie and I have this super cute Titus 2 shirt.
I'm a sucker for Russian nesting dolls!

Zoe Company also has a ton of fun clothes for woman

and men.

And I love.love.love. the adoption tees they have!
So precious!
I think my friend who just brought her daughter home from Korea needs one of these.

 Don't they have some cool stuff?
Want some Zoe Clothing of your very own?
Well today is your lucky day!

Zoe Clothing Co. is generously giving away a $100 gift card to their shop.

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

I'm so excited about today's giveaway! 

In fact I kind of wish I was winning it myself. 

If you have never heard of Shabby Apple before you are definitely missing out. 

They have the absolute cutest dresses (and lots of other cool stuff). 

Their clothes are vintage inspired, girly, flirty and pretty.

You know, the kind of clothes that make being a girl fun.

And I love their company motto,

"A return to what dresses were always meant to be — a one-piece outfit. No need to add anything...no tank tops, no cardigans, nothing (except accessories, of course!)." 

That's what I need! 

Sometimes I can be a little (or a lot) challenged when it comes to coordinating and accessorizing.

Maybe I should just wear a dress everyday.  

I searched for a few of my favorite dresses to give you a peek of the cuteness.

Aren't they adorable? 

Ok...Are you ready to win some moolah for a Shabby Apple dress of your very own? 

Shabby Apple is generously giving away a $50 store credit to one lucky winner!

Jenny and Teddy Creations Giveaway!

Almost 7 years ago now Aaron and I spent a summer in Brazil.

When I say summer, I mean it was summer here in America.

But in the Southern part of Brazil where we lived it was anything but summer.

In fact it was freezing cold e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y.

And you know how I feel about the cold.

So a couple of crafty Brazilian ladies taught me how to crochet.

And I did.

I made beanies and scarfs to keep me and Aaron warm.

And even though I crocheted out of necessity I really learned to enjoy it

even though I'm pretty sure I have forgotten how to do it now that it's been so long.

Anyways, sorry for that trip down memory lane...

if you are a crocheter like I am (or at least used to be)

this giveaway is just for you!

Jane from Jenny and Teddy Creations

has graciously offered to giveaway 3 crocheted patterns to

two lucky winners!

Take a look at some of her adorable stuff...

These little dolls look so soft and cuddly!

Wesley has a major obsession with monkeys.

I know he would go crazy for one of these.

I love how you can modify her patterns to make a bunch of different animals.

Aren't these little guys fun?!

These bunnies would be perfect for Easter

or any day in between.

Not a crocheter?

Jane sells a bunch of pre made cuties in her shop too!

1. Visit the Jenny and Teddy Creations shop.

Come back here and tell us what your favorite item is.

2. Visit Jane's blog, check out some of her free patterns and leave some comment love.

The Belle and the Beau Giveaway!

This week's giveaway is

just for the boys!!

Finally all of you boy mama's can drool over something cute for your little man.

And this week's giveaway is definitely drool worthy.

I'm so excited to introduce you to Amy of

the Belle and the Beau.

"My name is Amy and I love to design and create. I started making accessories for my 3 precious kiddos- they are my inspiration! It all began with my two beautiful girls always wanting a flower or something pretty in their hair. Now we have expanded to the "boys". Yes, I have a sweet son who runs to mommy asking for his "tie"- I kid you not! I love to see my children smile from ear to ear when wearing something I've created for them—they feel beautiful, proud…and happy. I'm so thankful to have the opportunity to share that joy with you. So grab a cup of coffee and enjoy wandering through my shop!"

Let me take you on a quick little tour {or should I say "teaser"} through some of the goodies in Amy's shop.

Look at all that color!

These are definitely not helping my fabric addiction.

I'm pretty sure there is nothing more adorable than a man in a tie.

Ok...maybe a baby in a tie.

There is definitely nothing more adorable than a baby or a little man in a tie.

Bow ties are awesome.

I'm so glad they are making a comeback.

How crazy cute would this matching set of father/son ties or bow ties be for Easter or a little photo shoot?

I think Aaron and Wesley need some.

And for all of you dog lovers out there...

check out Amy's doggie neckties.

I'm totally against dressing up your dog in clothes but I could definitely make an exception for these cuties.

And for those of you who don't have any little men in your life...

Amy also makes some adorable hair accessories for the girls.

These babies are my fav.

This week Amy is giving away a bow tie or necktie

(of your choice)

to one lucky winner!

So exciting, and just in time for Easter.

So I know what you are thinking....

and awesome color combinations

this giveaway is just for you!

This week I am so excited to introduce you to Rose,

the mastermind behind Bobbins and Beagles.

"Hello, My name is Rose Bardin and I love to create unique and one of a kind pieces that everyone would want to wear!! My love of crafting and my skills were passed down from my grandma, who I spent every weekend with as a child. She was an amazing seamstress and crafter and helped us create something every weekend! We used to make crocheted potholders, and I've now turned those skills into an amazing hobby and business! When I'm not crafting, I'm in the kitchen creating as I run a full service catering business with my sister. It's a busy, yet wonderful life!!"

Take a peek at some of the adorable crocheted goodies in Rose's shop.

Is this not the cutest baby beanie you have ever seen?!

Love the combination of grey and mustard.

And if you don't have kids, don't worry. There is an adult version too!

This cowl looks so cozy.

It makes me want to snuggle up with a mug full of hot chocolate and a good book right now.

so. crazy. cute.

I'm a sucker for anything with a giant flower on it.

I love Bobbins and Beagles cute headbands/ear warmers.

I think every day would be a good hair day if I just threw one of these on.

I can't get over these baby beanies.

Madelyn most definitely needs one!

Asquared Jewelry Giveaway!

I have to be honest.

I'm not a huge jewelry person.

Well I guess I should clarify,

I do love getting diamonds,

I guess I'm just not into accessorizing.

I think partially because I feel like I have no idea what I am doing

and partially because it just takes too much time and energy to try to pick something out that will match my outfit everyday.

Most days getting my outfit to match is hard enough :)

However I do love simple pieces of jewelry that can be worn with a million different outfits for a million different occasions.

That's what I love about the jewelry in our giveaway today.

It's nothing super trendy that you are going to have to worry about being in today and out tomorrow.

Just timeless pieces that can easily be dressed up or down and worn for years to come.

This week I'm so excited to introduce you to Ashly

the lady behind

Asquared Jewelry.

"Hi there, my name is Ashly! I am a newly wed who loves and adores her husband and sheltie puppy. I started creating jewelry as a hobby that has spiraled out of control! My husband calls himself the jewelry widow once I get in my designing groove. I’m in love with pearls and Swarovski crystals as most of you can probably tell by the pieces I create and my favorite thing to do is to customize my pieces to be exactly what you are looking for!"

Take a peek at some of the goodies inside Ashly's shop.

I think this piece should be named the "Lu Bird".

It matches my blog colors perfectly.

No wonder I like it so much :)

I think right next to diamonds pearls are a girl's best friend.

These would be perfect for a date night out.

And I love these little rose studs.

So dainty and adorable.

I can think of an outfit or two that would be so much happier with this added to it.

I love all the different charms Ashly has in her shop.

So much fun stuff to choose from.

This week Ashly is graciously giving away

a $20 gift certificate to her store!

Exciting, huh?!

How can you enter to win?
