WELCOME {how about a giveaway?}

Hi Guys!! Well, my blog has officially launched and to start what I think will be an awesome journey, I have teamed up with some really amazing shops to offer you a fantastic giveaway!!

I can't wait for you to follow along with me and my parenting journey.  To think, my beautiful daughter, Kennedy will be ONE on Wednesday.  I can't believe how fast the past year has gone and I am so excited to celebrate her birthday.

As a first time parent, I was constantly asking {and annoying} my other mama friends {thanks Allison and Laura} questions.  All kinds of questions from breastfeeding to food to just general parenting questions.  I am so beyond grateful that I have such wonderful friends who put up with my sometimes outrageous questions.  This blog is here to not only talk about my daughter and I, but to help other first time parents.  Please don't hesitate to ask me anything, I don't promise to know the best answer but I will certainly try, as I continue learning new things every day.

SOOOOO like I said how about we get to the good stuff, the giveaway!


I absolutely adore their wooden and fabric teething necklaces.  Not only are they stylish but so functional.

Stella and Wilbur - $18 credit
This mama is amazing.  I always want to buy up her entire shop and she makes the cutest baby bonnets.

Pretend with Poppins - $30 credit
I've been dying to get my hand on one of a Pretend with Poppins handmade doll.  I know Kennedy would love one.

Vienna Springs - Silk Sling
UMM hello, I don't even have a caption on how awesome this is.

Kennedy doesn't leave the house without at least a Sweet Tiny.  We may or may not have at least 8 of these dolls.

Little Lemon Treasures - Teething Necklace
These silicone teething necklaces rock.  Kennedy loves chewing on them and they help soothe her gums.

Tiny Humans Inc - $20 credit
Cutest little people clothing I have seen.

Lily and Mama Market - Linen Sling
ANOTHER SLING ... OH MY =)

Homemade XO Jules - 12 Tassel Garland on 6' Twine
I love tassel garland.  They make the cutest accessory in a nursery.

Christen Noelle - Story Book Character Set
Christen made Kennedy's Frozen First Birthday party invites and if you haven't checked out her shop you REALLY must!

Noodles Boutique - $25 credit
Jess and Jessie {yes, they have the same name and are SILs} make the best embroidered shirts.  Any time we have a special occasion {ex. DISNEY WORLD} I ask them to make us something special.

Thorns Things - Hand Tie-Dyed Onsie/Bib Set
I can't get over how amazing these tie-dyed onsies are.  This mama is also branching out to baby blankets, bibs, matching sets, etc.

Shanette Carmen - Kids Purple Pearl Bracelet
I can't wait until Kennedy gets old enough to wear jewelry because these bracelets are adorable.

Birdie Baby Boutique - Red/Green Headband
I don't even need to tell you that this is one of my absolute favorite shops.  If you follow me on Instagram you know I have an entire wall dedicated to these bands.

The best handmade accessories you will find.  This mama does it all, from tote bags to bedding linens.  She is planning on opening up her shop again and I can't wait to get my hands on some goodies.

To enter use the rafflecopter below.  Good luck to everyone, I wish I could enter this one myself!!
