I love Fisher-Price, don’t you? I can’t even count the number of Fisher-Price toys and gear my kids have had over the years! My favorite are the Little People! As a matter of fact, we keep our Little People Nativity Set up all year long (we love Jesus 365 days a year in this house). I’ve also bought Jonah two of the Little People Wheelies sets for his birthday and Christmas (shh don’t tell!!) and I can’t wait to give them to him! So when Fisher-Price asked me to tell you about something new they got goin’ on AND give away a $100 AMEX card,  I didn’t have to think twice!

Fisher-Price has just debuted a new photo and video sharing site called Fisher-Price Moments of Joy. It’s a place for parents to upload the sweetest, most candid moments they share with their kids, and it’s super-easy to do. Here are some of the moments I uploaded:

The Moments of Joy site couldn’t be any easier to use, or more fun. It’s a great way to keep track of your joyous memories, and store, caption, and describe them for posterity.  Plus, if you upload, you are automatically entered to win the “Fisher-Price Moments of Joy Sweepstakes” – five winners will win $100 gift cards weekly and one lucky uploader will win up to $1,000 of Fisher-Price toys! WOW! All you have to do is upload one moment to be entered! And there will be one winner a week through December 20th!

And of course, you can also enter to win $100 here as well!! Here’s how you enter to win $100 from Fisher-Price Moments of Joy and Mommin’ It Up:

1) Leave a comment on this blog telling me your favorite Fisher-Price toy.

We’re giving away a four pack of tickets (more on that for a minute) – but everyone can get free tickets (and do some good) by taking part in the Royal Princess Dress Drive hosted by Clothes that Work. Clothes that Work is a Dayton-area non-profit that provides interview clothing and image coaching to men, women and teens. They’re asking Dayton-area residents to help local high school girls attend their school proms by donating a new or gently used formal dress, which will then be distributed to the girls in March. For each dress donated, the donor will receive one free ticket voucher to Disney on Ice presents Treasure Trove opening night performance on Thursday, October 18th. The Royal Princess Dress Drive will be held this Saturday, September 22, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at Clothes that Work (1133 S. Edwin C. Moses Blvd, Ste. 392, Dayton).

We hope you’ll participate in the Dress Drive – if you’re like us, you’ve got a couple bridesmaids dresses laying around that could be put to good use!

Happy Monday! It’s a shiny new week and I’ve got a sparkly giveaway for you! It’s been a long time since we’ve had a good old-fashioned giveaway so this will be fun.  Recently, I’ve started working part-time from home managing social media projects for an awesome agency and my first client is a great girls accessories company called Girls Crochet Headbands.  As soon as I started, I ordered some of their products for Sophie so I could experience them for myself.  GCH makes headbands, hair bows and flower hair clips, and suuuuuper-cute lace baby rompers and ruffley baby bloomers.  They even have leg warmers, lace leggings, and tutus.  And their stuff is SUPER-affordable!  Like, the headbands start at 38 cents and the lace rompers at just $8.99. (And you know I loves me a deal!) Here’s what I bought:

And here’s Sophie in her GCH finery:

Isn’t she adorable?  She loves her clips and they stay in REALLY well.  I am so thankful every day when she comes home from school with them still firmly attached.

Now, if you have a wee baby girl or toddler, you are going to D-I-E at some of the cute stuff GCH has for the little ones!  Sometimes when I’m looking at the website, I wish Jonah was a GIRL.  (Um, don’t tell, k? I WAS gonna name him Joanna if he was a girl which is really similar…just sayin’!)

Just look at these bloomers!

The lace baby rompers are the cutest ev-ah. Check out some of these cute pictures fans have posted of their kids in GCH gear over at GCH’s Facebook page.

I also adore their leg warmers – even tomboy mamas will love their soccer ball and football leg warmers.

But anyways, let’s get down to the giveaway part! One of the fun parts about working for GCH is that I get to give away some of this great stuff! One lucky winner gets to pick any five items of their choice from the Girls Crochet Headbands website!  Who wouldn’t want to win that?  Here’s how to enter:

1) Mandatory: Head over to the Girls Crochet Headbands website and look around.  Then come back here and leave a comment telling me what your favorite GCH item is.  For extra entries you can also:

2) “Like”GCH on Facebook, then leave a comment letting me know you did.

3) Follow GCH on Pinterest (we’re pinning so many awesome things!) and leave me a comment letting me know you did.

4) Follow GCH on Twitter and leave me a comment letting me know you did.

One SUPER-LUCKY winner will be chosen at random and notified by email.  This giveaway will close on Monday, September 3 at 5 p.m. EST.

Good luck!

As I stated earlier, I am TOTALLY working for Girls Crochet Headbands.  But I TOTALLY bought the GCH product I own with my own money.  And my opinions about the products are all my own.
