Day 11 Little Windows Photo Jewelry (Custom Piece) (Ends November 16th)



I love pictures and I love jewelry, so you can imagine how happy I was to find Little Windows. What an innovative way to showcase pictures! Turn your favourite/favourite memories into a beautiful keepsake.  Little Windows combines style and sentiment.  There are a couple of options available when ordering your special piece. Custom made pieces are available in a variety of styles and with a picture of your choice.  For the do-it-yourself types there are a number of kits available.  The kits are accompanied by an online, step by step, instructional video with tips to help make the process fun and easy.  Crystal clear resin is paired with quality sterling for a beautiful effect. Keychains, Charms, Stick-Ons,  and magnets are available too.  The jewelry options include necklaces, multi photo necklaces, and bracelets. Check out their gallery for some great ideas.  
Ordering from Little Windows is really easy too.  All you have to do is send your favourite/favorite image and choose the piece(s) you would like.  The hardest part was picking the picture!  Each piece is unique and made specially for you, which I really like. The box is really cute and the necklace is such  high quality and is done very tastefully.  Now I'm going to order one for my mom, mother in law, grandmother, sister, and any other special women in my children's life.  I think the do-it-yourself kit would be a great present for a new mom at her shower.


“Each one is a little window into your heart. The ideal gift for moms, grandmas, daughters, sisters and friends!”

Lest We Forget

"Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one." John Lennon  


Day 10 A Pair of Leghuggers Your Choice and Size From Agoo Apparel (Ends November 16th)





As many of you know my Littlest Monkey is now 16 months and she is walking and crawling everywhere. Recently, I recieved a pair of Leg Huggers to review and I love them.  Leg Huggers are perfect for wearing with skirts and they fit over pants as well.  They keep legs warm and protected. I think the thing that I like the best about Leg Huggers was how easy they make diaper changes.  They don't cover the diaper like awkward tights, but still provide the necessary leg coverage.



Leg Huggers are super soft and are made of bamboo which repels moisture away so they are perfect for summer or winter. Bamboo is comfortable & breathable. It's hypoallergenic, and its organic, natural fiber properties make it non-irritating to even the most sensitive skin & protects from UV rays.  There are numerous patterns and prints to choose from. Even little boy patterns!
Giveaway Item:  A free pair of Leg Huggers your size and color preference

Each set contains:12 Storybooks, 2 Celebrated Author Storybooks, 2 workbooks, 2 DVDs, Quick Start Guide, 2 sets of stickers, and Access to my.hookedonphonics.com online Learn to Read experience for each lesson and unit (printables, games) It’s no surprise that Hooked on Phonics won the 2009 iParenting Media Award.

Hooked on Phonics Learn to Read Kindergarten uses engaging phonics-based activities, music videos, and online games to help your child become a confident reader. Each unit concludes with a storybook specially written to support the skills children have learned so far in the program--and this is a book they can read to you proudly, on their own!

Day 7 Name Your Tune CD (Ends November 16th)



As many of you know we are a musical household.  My husband, brother in law, and  father-in- law are musicians. We are also all teachers in the elementary and secondary systems and we understand the value of music exposure at an early age. We want to offer many varied and rich musical opportunities to our children.  I was really excited when I found out about Name Your Tune. The ingenious idea of seamlessly embedding specific names into songs is a great way to get children involved in music and learning.  Kids love listening to tunes and hearing their own name in song.  The child will hear his/her name over 80 times throughout the 14 well known songs.  Name Your Tune  sounds great and looks great too. Each CD comes with the name of your choice printed on the front.  This would make an awesome gift that will last a lifetime.


Based in Toronto, Name Your Tune Inc. is founded and managed by Candace Alper.
" This project has been a natural progression bringing together her love of music, arts, children and creativity. As mother to four-year-old Hannah, Candace appreciates the impact and joy of music in her child's every day. It is her motivation, enthusiasm and vision that have driven this project from its conception through to the hands of each child."
Co-Founder Eric Alper, is an avid music lover and is currently Director of Media Relations and Label Acquisitions for KOCH Entertainment. Eric brings his unique perspective and experience to Name Your Tune.  Eric also established Hear Here with a team of audiologists in 2000.  This program is in partnership with the Hospital For Sick Children and raises funds to pay for uncovered portions of the cost of hearing aids for children with hearing impairments.  Name Your Tune proudly donates a portion from our CD sales to support Hear Here.

If you go to the Name Your Tune website you can even listen to the songs that are included on the cd. They have over 4200 names and are always taking new name suggestions for their next trip to the studio.

Day 6 Grace Announcements - Wall Art Piece of Your Choice (Ends November 16th)



Grace Announcements makes the absolute best photo cards and stationary to help cherish life's moments.  They offer a complete line of professionally printed photo birth and adoption announcements, invitations, and cards.  Wall art, placemats, and labels are available too.  Celebrate your wedding, holidays, birth of a baby, and any other special day with a personally designed item from Grace Announcements. Holiday Cards are available for as low as $1.25 each.

In addition to being a successful Canadian business woman,  Lindsay Brewda the owner is a mom of two.  She was inspired to start her business by her desire to design something unique, creative, and personal for her baby which could be kept as a memory keepsake. She has certainly done this, and has done it well. She's easy to work with and is very approachable.


Lindsay was kind enough to send me a customized  Wall Art  print with my daughter's name on it.  I also order three other pieces for my nieces and I love them all. Everything about them is high quality; the paper, the professional printing, and the design. The trendy art is perfect for a child's room or a nursery and they make the best gifts.  I'm ordering another five for gifts because the price is great and the attention to detail is apparent.  It's a great way to have an affordable, personalized, art piece for a child. No need for custom framing either because the Wall Art pieces are designed to fit in standard sized photo and poster frames and come in  8"x10", 11"x14", 18"x24", 24"x36".

Giveaway Item:  Your own customized piece of Wall Art with the name of your choice.
