I don't even know where to start with this review.....I was blown away by everything! First of all the clothes were packaged to perfection, my husband even waited for me to get home from work before he opened the box. He was afraid to mess anything up ;) Each piece of clothing was bundled tight in tissue paper separately and there was a little card that told you some information about the company. But what really blew me away was the laminated washing/care instructions for the clothes....everything you would want to know and how to keep the clothes looking their best! How awesome is that?

Madison Browne sent my daughter the BEBEBO Pale Grey Dress with White Collar. This dress is simply divine! The dress is 100% wool, but feels silky soft. Made in Italy, the dress has cap sleeves and a bubble hem that falls sweetly to the knee. The dress may look slightly plain in the picture, but on my daughter it was stunning! Paired with the BEBEO Pale Pink Ribbed Crossover Top the outfit was perfection. The cardigan is also made in Italy and is super soft. Made from Merino wool, cashmere and angora its sure to keep my sweetie warm during the cold months. To top it all off both pieces are machine washable.

Buy It!

Madison Browne is offering my readers a 25% OFF discount using the coupon code SHOPAHOLIC25 So get shopping!!!

Win It!

Thanks to Madison Browne my readers have a chance to win the same adorable BEBEBO Pale Grey Dress with White Collar and BEBEBO Pale Pink Ribbed Crossover Top!!! Both pieces retail $96 :)

And if you can't decide on what to get, you can always opt of a Anna Bella Jewels gift certificate.

Andrea, owner of Anna Bella Jewels, sent me this stunning Green Amethyst Necklace and Cultured Fresh Water Pearls. It's absolutely breath taking in person, the pictures definitely do not do it justice. It's a sterling silver extension necklace with a lobster clasp, cultured fresh water pearls and a large 16.5 mm x 11 mm green amethyst drop. It's definitely a show stopper and conversation piece. I love how delicate it looks, but it's truly sturdy and made well. Because it's an extension necklace, the piece can be made to be shorter or longer depending on what top you are wearing it with. The colors are amazing together, the white pearls and green amethyst really match up nicely.

Wordless & Wordfull Wednesday ~ Fall!

We recently took the kids to one of our local Cranberry Bogs. It was really neat and we learned all about how cranberry's are harvested and that NJ is one of the main producers of the cranberry. Fun stuff! Saturday Nicholas and Melina had a blast at our church's harvest festival then out around the neighborhood trick-or-treating! They got way too much candy :)

Happy Wordless Wednesday! For more check out.....

I Heart Mary Kay!

For the longest time I tried so many different face washes, and without fail my face kept breaking out and was so dry. So when my friend Meghan started selling Mary Kay, I finally switched over and tried the Time Wise 3 in 1 cleanser. It really works wonders on my face and I absolutely love it! I also pair it with the Time Wise 3 in 1 face lotion. I've been spreading the word about my results and wanted to share my find with my readers too :) I also adore the Satin Hands Collection, an amazing pampering set for your hands. My Hubby even enjoys a little spa treatment using the Satin Hands. So head on over to check out the amazing collection of body products, lotions, makeup and fragrances.

When my son started school I was amazed by how many children in his class had food allergies. No peanuts, no wheat, no milk etc. It really opened my eyes. So when HomeFree contacted me about doing a review and giveaway I jumped at the chance. I wanted to share their wonderful organic and allergen free products with my readers. Started by Mom and clinical psychologist Jill Robbins, HomeFree makes yummy cookies and cakes. You can even purchase cookbooks and baking ingredients to make your own organic and allergen free treats at home! They make all the food in a safe and clean environment, all appliances are new and there is a strict contamination policy; no peanuts, tree nuts, eggs wheat or dairy are permitted in the facility at any time.

The organic cookie selection is extensive with tons of flavors to choose from!

-Chocolate Chip

-Chocolate Chocolate Chip

-Oatmeal Cookies

-Mini Chocolate Chip

-Mini Chocolate Chocolate Chip

-Mini Oatmeal Chocolate Chip

My family was able to review 2 yummy boxes of HomeFree cookies. We sampled the Organic Chocolate Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Cookies. Now when I read the box and saw that the cookies were free from eggs, dairy, wheat and nuts, I was not sure how good they would be since you usually need these ingredients to make cookies. Boy was I blown away by the taste!!! They were so yummy and tasty!!! What made me feel really good was sharing the cookies with my neighbors son who is allergic to nuts. His mom was thrilled to find there were cookies out there safe enough for her little one to eat. To learn more about HomeFree check out there FAQ's page.

Stride Rite Shoes

I cannot stress enough how important it is to me that my children wear high quality shoes that support their growing feet. For over 85 years Stride Rite has been designing children's shoes that are not only durable, but adorable too! Each style is put through a rigorous test to make sure it can withstand the wrath of a child's wear and tear. The 3 point testing system includes the following: Fit, 5 stages of testing to make sure each shoe has the perfect fit. Wear, the shoes are tested on 30-45 kids a day. Lab, testing out materials and components to ensure they meet Stride Rite's Standards. There are also so many different fun styles to choose for baby's, boys and girls! They also carry a great variety of widths, perfect for kids with slim or wide feet. You will definitely find the perfect pair of shoes at Stride Rite.

My daughter reviewed the adorable Carly pair in Peony/Azalea Print. The shoes are made made from high quality leather and suede, and are so easy on her little feet. I could tell right away by the way she walks in them that the shoes are comfortable. The fun pattern and vibrant color makes the shoes stand out and command attention. I like that they can be worn to the park to play, but also pair up nicely with a cute dress or jean skirt. These shoes are also a part of Stride Rite's Sensory Response Technology, the latest innovations that helps reduce stumbling and falling....which is perfect for new walkers and toddlers! The SRT shoes also have Sensory Pods, Midfood Support, Contoured Sensory Cushioned Footbed, Moisture Wicking Lining and are made with Eco Friendly Materials. Wow! What a great combination to help support our children's feet.

This review is my opinion only. Thank you to Stride Rite for supplying the shoes for review.

(Me wearing the Orglamix Floo Powder Collection)

I was able to review the Orglamix Floo Powder Collection from the Ministry of Magique line. The colors in this collection include Brimstone, Fog and Obsidian, which all blend in magically together. Since I received the shadows I have been wearing them every single day! I absolutely love mixing and matching the colors. Some days I will wear just one color and the next day all three! The shadows are so smooth and light, making application simple. When on my lid you are really able to see the luminous shimmer that lasts for hours! You would be surprised how little shadow you need to complete your look....it definitely goes a long way.

Wordless & Wordfull Wednesday ~ Philadelphia!

Sunday I came back from my conference early and we took the kids to Philadelphia for the day.  The weather was absolutely perfect to walk around and see the sights!  We ate lunch, walked down to Penn's Landing where they have the battleships docked, Nick really enjoyed seeing their guns.

We then went to Christ Church, one of the oldest churches in the US, founded in 1695.  Some of the famous people who worshiped at this church were George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Morris, Betsy Ross....and the list goes on.  Benjamin Franklin and four other signers of the Declaration Of Independence are buried at the cemetery there.

To top the day off we stopped by Franklin Fountain, which was featured on the Travel Channel, to share in a yummy ice cream sundae!  It's a old time ice cream shop that specializes in home made desserts and treats.  We all share the Franklin Mint Chip  Here is a little blurb about what was in it (taken from their website) "A signature Franklin flavor is our White Peppermint ice cream swirled with green creme de menthe and dark bittersweet chocolate chunks. "Green or White?" we are always asked... Franklin, the great peacemaker, would have had both. It will satisfy the world."

It was a fun day!  

Happy Wordless Wednesday!  For More Check Out....

Tyler Trends Review & GIVEAWAY!!!

Congrats to...

#14 whimsy*couture*sewing*tutorials

I simply adore high quality children's clothing that is not only cute but made well too! Tyler Trends is a family owned company that sells the most amazing and adorable clothing for kids. All items are made with comfort and enjoyment as the main focus. The short sleeved shirts and one pieces are made from fair trade organic cotton, meaning it's free from many toxic and harmful chemicals. Organic cotton is also hypoallergenic which is perfect for sensitive skin! Fair trade means the farmers got a fair price for their cotton and child labor was not used to make the clothes.

There are six amazing animal prints that have been designed by digital artist Anette Tyler for Tyler Trends. You can choose from the following designs: Ladybird, Monkey, Giraffe, Tiger, Polar Bear and Panda. They are perfect for boys and girls alike and got up to size 6. All the prints are unique and really stand out when the child is wearing the shirt

We reviewed the sweet Long Sleeve Ladybird Print shirt from Tyler Trends. My daughter (who loves trying on clothes) put the shirt on and pranced around the house saying "Baby Bugga Bugga Shirt!" and insisted on wearing it to bed too. The shirt is so soft and comfortable, and goes great with pants or a skirt! She loves the super cute design and I love that fact that it's high quality and will hold up through all the wear and tear. Also knowing that the shirt came from a sweatshop-free manufacturer makes me feel even better.

Tyler Trends is offering new and existing newsletter subscribers 25% OFF all products! Discount code is in the newsletter and will be valid through October 31, 2009. So get shopping!!!
