{Lovin’ it} Kodak Photo Poster Freebie!

This is such a fun freebie deal!

Sign up over at Kodak to get this HOT deal: Buy one photo poster collage, get one free if you join now! Click Here to get started.

These are such great prints to use in your home… They make a really great impact alone on a wall, or surrounded by other photos. And, the kids LOVE them! I made big poster prints of the kids in their Halloween costumes last year, to put up in their bedrooms, {they were super heros} and they were SO excited to see themselves on posters :)

This is a brand new offer, and I’m not sure how long it’s running, so get it today while it lasts! What are you going to get poster prints of? I’d love to hear your ideas!

{Free Advertising} Interested in having your products featured?

Happy Birthday Abby!

My little girl is getting ready to have her very first birthday! {That’s her in the pic above, when silly mommy made a cake to celebrate her 6-month half-birthday} I cannot believe how fast the time has gone by. She is just such a big girl these days… Got her first tooth {finally!} a couple days ago, and started walking last week. It’s hard to believe…

Party like it’s your birthday…

I’ve been planning her party for quite some time now, as many of you already know. Her dad thought it was crazy to be thinking about her birthday months in advance, but this momma is pretty excited!

We have the big in-ground pool up and running finally, so we’re doing a huge Luau Party. I’ve got boxes of decorations, and have made loads of fun stuff. This is going to be a blast…

Would you like to have your product featured?

I have a few companies that have reached out to have me review their items, so to give them more exposure, I’m going to have some of them featured during the party. I thought it would be a fun way to do some reviews, get a ton of feedback from guests, and a share some great products with my too!

I have a fun Luau game pack from Tomoson.com, we will be testing out some new vegetarian dishes with some great products from Harmony Valley, Abby will be wearing an absolutely adorable headband from Wild Crush, and more. If you have a product that you would like to feature too, shoot me an email over at sunshineandsippycups@gmail.com. All products donated will be seen and featured in multiple party posts after the event, and will get their own stand-alone review post as well.

Goodie Bags and Swag Bags!

Also, I am putting together bunches of great goodie bags for the kids, and I’m also putting together some amazing swag bags for some of the moms at the party. These will be filled with samples of some great products from companies I’ve partnered with lately, as well as lots of product info, catalogs, business cards, and more.

It’s kind of last minute, but I’d like to open up this opportunity to my readers too: If you have anything that you would like to add to these swag bags, and get into the hands of a great bunch of momma’s, email me with your idea! Even if you’d just like to share your business card, feel free to send them my way, and I’ll include them for the guests to see.

As a work-from-home momma myself, I understand how tough it can be sometimes to get your business out there, and get seen by new faces, so I love to help give other moms new easy ways to promote their business.

Everyone that is in the bags will also get a shout out on the blog, I’ll have a link up of any of you ladies that added something. Just a fun and easy way to get yourself a little bit of exposure. You can send anything from 10 business cards, to 50 samples, whatever you want to share with people.

I also use sponsor goodies in swag bags that I add to every giveaway winner shipment that I send out, to get your info out to more people! If you’re interested now, or in the future, let me know.

Stay tuned… The BIG party is coming soon, July 24th! I can’t wait to share all of the pictures with you….

LEGO Club Jr. Magazine will automatically be sent to LEGO Club members who are under the age of seven. It’s free in every country, except Australia.

More Lego Fun:

And check out the Lego.com site to show the kids a dancing Lego Jack Sparrow on his ship… The boys at my house loved it :) Plus, there are just tons of cool features here… They can build their own super hero lego, which you can even order afterwards if you want, {but don’t tell them that, lol}, make their own network page, and more.

A few of my favorite Lego sets:

All of these sets are available on Amazon. So if you’ve got some Amazon credit built up by earning FREE gift cards from SwagBucks, MySurvey, Valued Opinions, or others, then these might be almost free for you! {I do the majority of my shopping on Amazon, to take advantage of all of the free gift cards I earn there}.

LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley -For all of you Harry Potter fans…. {Yes, I am secretly a HUGE Harry Potter fan, and a bit embarrassed to admit it…} They also have the Double Decker bus which is pretty cool, and the whole Hogwarts castle.
LEGO Community Miniature Figure Set – Contains 256 Pieces -This is a great addition to any kids Lego sets! SO much stuff in this one, very fun. The people were always my favorite part when I was a kid.
LEGO Creator Log Cabin 5766 -I think this one is super cute. I loved building houses, and making little towns, when I was a kid. This one is kind of unique, so I like it.
DUPLO LEGO Ville Baby Zoo – Perfectly adorable first Lego set, seriously. I also loved the little Duplo Lego Chicken Coop set!
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, Queen Anne’s Revenge – Pretty darn amazing if you’ve got some movie fans! This would be the most amazing gift for a Pirate birthday party…
LEGO Exclusive Pet Shop– I seriously LOVE this. So pricey, but one of the coolest sets. Lego’s were my favorite toy when I was younger… I even wanted to be an architect for awhile, and somehow thought that it was similar to building with Lego’s, lol.
