BIG News from a Favorite Baby Site!

Planning Family- A New Mom Resource!

If you’re a momma-to-be, a new mom, or even like me – the busy mommy to a little toddler! – you can benefit from the wonderful content over at Planning Family!

Tons of free baby stuff from the brands you know and trust. Click Here to join!

Freebies and Coupons, but also so much more…

I started using Planning Family for the baby samples, to stock up before my little girl even arrived. And oh boy did those come in handy! When you realize at 2am that you’ve run out of formula, and don’t have another canister – it’s a lifesaver to be able to grab some from your sample stash. Plus, all of the samples we stocked up on were great for filling the diaper bags with trial size products too.

After the baby came, I started using Planning Family to find diaper coupons. Then I realized how much more there was to the site – I could find answers to most of my baby questions, fun information on Abby’s development, feeding and sleeping advice, and more. It really is a great resource!

Big Announcements Coming!

I got an email from Planning Family today, and is says, “Something big is coming…” It doesn’t give much detail of what is going to happen, but it does mention that “they will soon launch some wonderful new features that will make using PlanningFamily.com quicker and easier than it has ever been!” Making one of my favorite sites even better? Love it.

So, if you’re already a member, stay tuned for the big excitement. If you’re not a member yet, join me there today! If you’re not a mom – you can sign up anyway, and pass those freebies onto your friends, or just share this post to your Facebook and Twitter, so they can join too!

The Most Adorable Argument of All Time….

How cute is this??

I love it, absolutely love it. I like when she loses track of the argument, and switches to no. Then he gets mad- “I said no first!” And I love when she brings age into the whole thing… “I’m FOUR. You’re NOT four.”

I’ve had one heck of a bad day – and this totally cracked me up and brightened my mood, so I figured I should share. I found it on a new Facebook friends page, Angies Angel Help Network– Feel free to use my share buttons to post it on your wall too!

RAFFLECOPTER GIVEAWAY- GENTRY’S CLOSET- CUSTOM BOWS & BABY ACCESSORIES!!

Gentry’s Closet

If you have any little girls in your life, you simply MUST check out the amazing Gentry’s Closet shop on Etsy!

Custom Bows and Baby Accessories

When the owner of Gentry’s Closet emailed me to see if I’d be interested in partnering for a giveaway, the first thing that I did was head over to check out her shop- To my surprise, this was the same shop that I’d been checking out the previous week, and had added a couple of her adorable clips to my boards on Pinterest! Small world sometimes…

Tiny Fashionista…

The clips she sent over for us to check out are amazing- One, they’re absolutely adorable, obviously. But they’re also some of the best quality hair clips I’ve ever seen. The ribbon is top notch, all of the details are perfect, and my favorite- on the inside of the clippy, there is a soft, no-slip type padding, that really helps these stay in Abby’s hair. I’ve never seen this on other accessories, and it’s awesome.

Since she’s a toddler now, and a little busy-body all day, she wouldn’t sit still for a photo session. The top two pics are the clips that Gentry’s Closet sent us to review, and the bottom pic is one of my other VERY favorites in her shop. I’ll get some fun photos of her modeling these great accessories later this week- stay tuned!

Win a Gift Certificate to Gentry’s Closet!

One lucky Sunshine and Sippy Cups fan will win a Gift Certificate to shop at Gentry’s Closet! I’m so excited for one of you guys to get to check out her work for yourself- You will NOT be disappointed!

Enter Today!
