Review & Giveaway: Little Girl Peony Headband (1 Winner!)

To celebrate Valentine's Day, I am hosting a giveaway! One lucky reader will win a beautiful peony headband from Baby Sprout Boutique.

Baby Sprout Boutique specializes in beautifully handcrafted headbands, "bean" stockings (leg warmers), and other infant shabby chic accessories. Each unique piece created is one-of-a-kind. Baby Sprout Boutique also takes custom orders, so if you see something you like, but would like different colors or something slightly different, just contact the owner, Courtney. Courtney is a work-at-home mom of an adorable toddler boy. You can see her work on Etsy or Facebook (She often offers sale/discounts to Facebook fans!).


The peony headband on my daughter (pictured above) is a Baby Sprout Boutique creation. I love how feminine it is, yet with a little bit of sass! The headband is high-quality and fits Eliana's head well, without slipping or being too snug. And I've had a hard time keeping her in headbands for very long! She pulls them down regularly! The headband also fits my 2 yr. old son's head, although a little snug since he has a very large head (and for his sake, I did NOT take a picture of him wearing it...). I just wanted to try it on to see if it would fit a toddler girl, and I think it would, if she has a normal size head! These headbands definitely take a traditional headband/bow and sets a whole new standard!


Now here's the fun part... Baby Sprout Boutique not only graciously provided me with a headband for my daughter in exchange for an honest review, but also one for one lucky reader! Here's the beautiful Valentine's headband that I am giving away! Classy black & white fabric gently rolled into peonies, with a small white rose bud inlaid with a rhinestone to add some sparkle, both of which are set off with a rich red headband. This piece would be wonderful for Valentine's, Christmas, or just about any time of year!

Would you like to win this for your daughter/granddaughter? Do you know someone with a little girl, or expecting a little girl, who would enjoy dressing up a cute outfit? You can earn multiple entries in this giveaway. Just follow the directions for each method, then click "Did It" after you complete each thing! This giveaway will end Monday night, 2/13, and the winner will be announced on Valentine's Day, 2/14!

Baby Sprout Boutique is also offering 10% anything in their Etsy shop with promo code "SavingWithASmile", good through Tuesday, Feb. 21st!

And the Winner is....

Posie Necklace Giveaway ENDS TODAY!!!:

This giveaway ENDS TONIGHT!!! Last chance to enter!

I am so excited to announce our Autumn Giveaway: A Posie Necklace (pictured above) from LuBeth Designs! LuBeth Designs creates hand-crafted pieces of jewelry that are beautifully unique, accenting a variety of styles/colors. The owner/creator of LuBeth Designs is a Stay-At-Home mom who lives in Ohio with her sweet husband and three terrific kids. She loves to make her home a warm, inviting place for family & friends. Making jewelry is a way she gets to express her creativity, and she enjoys creating simple pretty things that others will enjoy wearing.

As a busy mom, I love having jewelry pieces that are versatile with various outfits, and that can quickly add a touch of feminine on a not-so-great day (you know the kind: where all the time you had to get ready was to quickly pull back a ponytail, dash on some lip gloss, and pull on a mostly-clean shirt... and as you walk out the door you get spit-up on!). A Posie Necklace by LuBeth Designs definitely fits that description, since it looks gorgeous with just about anything. (Seriously anything: t-shirt & jeans, a dressy top, summer dress, winter slacks...) As part of this giveaway, LuBeth Designs sent me a Posie necklace of my choice (I chose the Snow Posie), and I have loved wearing it (not to mention getting compliments when I've gone out, which comes at a very nice time since I'm 8 months pregnant and not feeling so feminine!).

Now you have a chance to win a Posie Necklace yourself!  The winner will get to choose their favorite Posie Necklace from the LuBeth Etsy shop. The Autumn Giveaway will run from Sunday, September 25th-Saturday, October 1st. 

LuBeth Designs has graciously offered a 15% discount off all Etsy orders with the promo code "COLORS15" (through October 31st). Christmas is right around the corner, and a Posie Necklace ($24.95) would make a fabulous Christmas gift since they are unique & beautiful, while helping support a fellow SAHM (stay-at-home-mom!) It's also the season to show your school pride, and she does custom "Triple Posie Necklaces" in the school colors of your choice ($17.95). 

Now down to business... here's all the ways you can earn entries! After you do each entry method, come back and click the green "I Did This" button!

Here is another fun giveaway by two fellow stay-at-home (SAH) moms at their brand-new blog "When You Rise". Head over here to enter to win a copy of "The Jesus Storybook Bible". You can earn up to 3 entries: one just for entering, one for following them on Facebook, and one for sharing the giveaway with friends. Leave a comment with your first & last name on the giveaway blog post telling them you did each of those things. This giveaway ends tonight, Sept. 8th.

These two moms at When You Rise will be sharing creative ideas for teaching your toddlers (and older children) truths from the Bible in simple, fun, age appropriate ways. I am really excited about this, because my Levi is 19m and catching on to so many things! God has given each and every one of us moms unique gifts we can share with one another, and these two women are gifted in taking basic Bible stories & truths and making them into something teachable to toddlers/children. And we are all blessed with the technology of blogs so we can learn from others! Their first post is about honesty, and how we should encourage one another in this journey of motherhood as we seek to teach our children from God's Word. A great read, because I know I personally struggle with comparing my life & motherhood to all the other "super-mom" bloggers out there, and often feel like I fall short since I get only glimpses of the good moments!

So whether or not you win the Jesus Storybook Bible, "like" this blog and be encouraged and inspired in your daily journey as "mom"!
