Happy Green Bee Giveaway!

 

Happy Green Bee is a line of clothing that I used to sell at my yoga studio.  I am big fan of their clothes and the woman behind the company.  She was one of the original founders of Burt's Bee.   They recently sent me a dress to review and I LOVE it.

The mission of the company is to create cheerful organic kids' clothing with sustainable earth friendly manufacturing practices in an effort to meet and increase the demand for organic children's clothing that not only looks and feels great but is contributing in positive ways to the welfare of our planet.

They sent over a size L.  It is a little long and big, but Penelope grows tall, so fast, that I always want to get dresses long so she can wear it longer and get more use out of it.

 

I am thrilled that the dress is organic, but I also love the construction of the dress.   They did a rolled hem on each ruffle and on the neck and sleeve.  Penelope isn't too picky about her clothes, but I know some kids can get fussy about clothes not being comfortable or being too itchy, but this dress would not be a problem.

 

I love this color combo!  Sweet and feminine, but not over the top.  I think she looks like a little fairy in it.  She had a great time playing outside in this dress.  It is a beautiful dress, but one that your child can still play hard in.

This is Penelope last December.  We had this dress is brown and green too and I loved the petal shape of the bottom.  I also really love the quality of Happy Green Bee clothes.  The brown and green dress we have, was worn by two other little girls before it got to Penelope and it was still in perfect condition.  The necks on those style of dresses run small, so be sure to order a size up.

They so many cute things on their site.  They have a super cute line of black and white outfits, and all their original designs are now on clearance for a great price. They also just came out with a more classic design line, called Oxanna.  It is amazing!  Each piece is unique and made from repurposed material.

Happy Green Bee has graciously offered to do a giveaway!  They are offering the winner ANY item of their choosing from their original line!!

All Natural Kids Bugs Spray Review and Giveaway!

We were graciously sent Absolute Green's 100% Natural DEET Free Bug Spray a few months ago to try out.  It came just at the right time, when the bugs here in North Florida were starting to peak.

Ya'll know what freaks Tara and I are about buying everything organic and chemical free and bug spray is no exception.

I really liked this spray.  When I sprayed it on Penelope it smelled nice and did not leave a heavy residue.  And it seemed to work just fine.  Now, were not in the middle of a swamp, but for normal outdoor activities it has been really great for us.  I like, Tara, found I had to really put a lot on, but its so light and smells good that it isn't really a problem.

Here is what Tara said:

"I liked the bug spray for Arabella and I.  It didn't have as strong of a smell as my other all-natural spray.  It was nice to come in from being outside and not have a cloud of citronella around us.  I did have to use a little more than I normally do, to keep those pesky mosquitoes away though (we really put it to the test by going out at dusk).  I didn't mind having to do that because of the all-natural ingredients.  Great product!"

More about this awesome product from Absolute Green:

This bug spray repels mosquitoes, including the west nile virus producing mosquito's, biting flies, gnats, no see-ums and other annoying insects! Our spray of essential oils keeps the bugs away while your children enjoy nature, look for seashells, find frogs or just play outside without getting bug bites!

Absolute Green Kids Natural Bug Repellent is a non-toxic bug spray that works great, dries non-oily and has a pleasant aroma. Convenient 4oz size allows for an easy travel companion. Lasting 4-6 hours between applications. Recommended for the whole family.

Robin Adams Photography Review and Giveaway!!

Ok, so before I tell you more about Robin Adams Photography and tell you how awesome she is, we must all have a moment to soak in how stinkin' cute my daughter is. I mean, really. Is she not the cutest baby you have ever seen in your life? I know, I know, after your own, but come on, tell me how much you love her fat rolls and big blue eyes!

Ok, now that we have that taken care of. On to the fabulousness of Robin.

I have known Robin since 2006. I am not quite sure how we met or who sought who out, but we came fast business partners/friends. When I had the yoga studio in Manor @ Midtown, she rented space from me and shot her indoor sessions at the studio.

She has taken pictures of our engagement, our wedding, our pregnancy portraits and portraits of Penelope at 6 days, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. The albums she created for us from our sessions are my most prized possesions. Even Penelope loves to look at them, on a near daily baisis.

Simply said, Robin is an AMAZING photographer. One of the best in town, hands down.

I know photography can be an expense that most families can't afford, but the way I feel about having professional pictures taken is the same way I feel about buying organic foods. You need to make it a priority in your life and make sacrifises in other areas. You will never get these years back and to have amazing pictures of your little one is priceless.

To help more families take advantage of the luxury of professional portraits, Robin came up with an ingenius plan.

It's call the Wee Plan and you can check it out here.

The Wee Plan includes:

-Eight Sessions of one child, including a session with the entire family

-25 birth announcements or birthday invitations

-A 11x14 black matted album with 24 8x10 photos

-30% Discount on all standards prints up to 11x14

The Best Part
In March only, the Wee Plan is just $295. . . a savings of $100!

In honor of the launch of the Wee Plan (and in honor of the blog's name change and new facebook page!) Robin has graciously offered to giveaway a free portrait session for a family of four and two 5x7 prints ($190 value). 

Yes, that's right, I said a FREE PORTRAIT SESSION and TWO 5x7 PRINTS!!!

How freaking cool is that!? So sorry to all my out of town readers, this one is only open to local readers.  But don't fret, more awesome giveaways are coming your way!!
