Day 9

Moms

I live in Texas and Texans love their cowboy boots (well, most Texans anyway).  I have been a bit resistant to joint the masses of cowboy boot wearers in this state.  That was until I came across these super cute Stadium Stompers for women.  They are cowboy boots that are also rainboots and they coordinate with your favorite football team colors.  Wear them rain or shine and be in high fashion.  How great is that?!


Babies



I recently came across Kathe Kruse toys and dolls and cannot get over how adorable they are.  It is so hard to pick just one of them.  
Kathe Kruse makes toys for babies and toddlers that are soft, colorful and child friendly.  They are made with only natural ingredients such as cotton and sheep wool.  Kathe Kruse Organics make toys that are nature-friendly and fun to play with. 

Kids

 Here’s a great book suggestion for the kids in your life: Bugs by the Numbers.  This book tells you all about bugs with numeric facts.  It is a clever and eye-catching way to learn about bugs. After seeing this book and reading it I have added it to my son’s gift list for Christmas. I am certain that he will get a big kick out of this book.

Day 8

Moms

Oh my! Have you ever tried any of Pacifica’s products?  I was in love from the first moment I picked up the Tuscan Blood Orange soap box and smelled it.  It is amazing!  I couldn’t stop there. I had to smell them all.  They make so many wonderful scents but Tuscan Blood Orange and Tahitian Gardenia are my favorites. I love that the soap smells wonderful as you use it and the scent actually lingers afterwords.  Their body butters are also fantastic. They are thick and moisturizing and are great for layering the scent.

I haven’t been a perfume wearer in a while because it has been hard to find a natural one that actually smells great but Pacifica’s are all natural.  I really like carrying their solid perfumes in my purse and use the spray perfume at home.  They just came out with new roll-on perfumes that sounds great for at home or on the go.  Their products are made from natural ingredients and are free from Parabens, Sulfates, Propylene Glycol, Phthalates, GMOs, Triclosan and Petro-chemicals.

Any of Pacifica’s items make great gifts. They are sold at Whole Foods stores or you can order online at Pacifica’s website.  They have free shipping on orders over $50 and you can sign up for their newsletter for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate.

I love these cards and mobile from Wee Gallery.  They are adorable black and white designs on thick 5×7 cards that are perfect for babies developing vision.  There are many different designs and they can be turned into a mobile by attaching them to a Kikkerland mobile.  I used the mobile and Wee Gallery Jungle cards for my youngest daughter over her bed and she loved to look at them.  With older babies you can use the cards as flashcards to teach them the names of the animals. There are 9 different sets you can choose from.
Kids

Most little girls love to play dress up and pretend they are princesses.  Little Earth’s Beauty offers play makeup for ages 4-9 that you can feel good about your daughter using.  Their makeup is free of synthetic dyes and other harmful ingredients that so many little girls play makeup sets contain. All of the ingredients are disclosed here.

This set comes in a cute bag that looks like a little purse.  Inside you’ll find a mirror, lip gloss, pink glitter gel and silver glitter gel.  Everything goes on very nicely and a little bit goes a long way!  We especially liked the yummy watermelon scent of the lip gloss.

Babies

I just love this Birth Date Print Modern Nursery Art Poster
from Almost Sunday Designs Etsy Shop.   It is actually may be more of a gift for moms but it will be a beautiful addition to a nursery or wall of photos.  I love that you can choose your own custom colors to match your decor.

Check out these other great designs by Almost Sunday Designs as well.

 LeapFrog sent us a LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet a few weeks ago to try out and my kids have LOVED it!  There are so many ways to use it and it makes learning so much fun!

There are so many great games you can play on the LeapPad.  There are also lots of book titles to choose from and this device has a camera plus a video camera for lots more ways to have fun.

I have heard that they are a HOT item for Christmas a may sell out so if you are thinking about getting one for a special someone as a gift I recommend you do it soon.  It comes in green and pink too.

Day 6

Moms


Ann Voskamp’s book One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are is quite possibly the best book I have ever read.  As you read this book you will find yourself transported into Ann’s world as she describes her journey in beautiful detail.  Her story is one of great hope and entering into a life that embraces every moment as a gift.  This book will leave you deeply touched, and quite possibly, changed forever.  I cannot think of a better gift for the women in your life than this book.




Babies

Jellycat makes some of the most adorable stuffed animals ever!  I love these Cordy Roys stuffed animals. Besides being super cute they are soft and cuddly and great for ages 4 months and up. 


Kids

Mouse Paint may possibly be my favorite little kids book.  My 4th daughter and I have read this together probably over 100 times.  She actually memorized it by the time she was 3 and would “read” it to me.  It is a really cute story about mice who are trying to avoid a cat and their adventure with colors and what the colors become when they are mixed with other colors.  It is educational and entertaining at the same time.  You can’t go wrong with this book or the other titles from Ellen Stoll Walsh.

Day 5

Moms

 I have been seeing Kelly Moore Bags everywhere online lately and I have to confess: I want one.  Specifically I want the Libby Bag in sapphire (shown above). 



Just in case you haven’t heard about Kelly Moore Bags I’ll tell you a little more about them. If you are a photographer (or just like to carry your camera around everywhere), and have a plain Jane camera bag, you will fall in love with these bags.  They look like purses and have dividers in them to keep your camera equipment safe. They are water-resistant and have a fully adjustable strap.  There are also plenty of pockets and compartments for the other things you need to carry with you on a daily basis.  So now you can always be prepared with your camera by your side (looking mighty cute) and everything else you need too.  These bags range from $159 to $249 and you can get them at KellyMooreBag.com.



Babies



I think BabyLegs are pretty genius.  They make diaper changes really easy since there is nothing to pull off and on, they protect little knees when babies are crawling, and they make potty training easy (once again, no pulling pants on and off taking up valuable time). Of course those are some of the practical reasons.  The best thing about them is they are supper cute!  There are so many designs to choose from.



Kids
My kids absolutely love the highly entertaining What’s In The Bible DVDs.  I love them because these DVDs tell the real storries that are in the Bible. They were created by Phil Vischer who was also creator of Veggie Tales and they are equally as funny, creative and entertaining.
