Baby Announcements-$50 Tiny Prints Giveaway

By 107 Comments

I’m sure many of you have already heard of Tiny Prints. They are no strangers in the blogger market. I recently had the opportunity to work with them and let me tell you it was a total joy! I was able to design, print and send my baby announcements through them and let me tell you it was so nice to have everything run smoothly and easily with a task like this during the holidays!


All I had to do was pick a theme (there were a ton of adorable ones to choose from) and then alter the wording and upload my pics (taken by the amazing Tamra from Modern Expressions Photography). It was fast and they turned out just perfect for our little guy.

Tiny prints even has a mailing service where you can upload your address list and they will do all the work of addressing and sending them out for you! This is a huge bonus in my book. I did not want to sit and address envelopes while trying to keep two kiddos happy. I had them mail most of mine out and had a few sent to my house to hand deliver to family I knew I would be seeing in the next couple of weeks.

The announcements I ordered were printed on a heavy duty cardstock (for some reason I thought they would be on a photo paper of some sort) and came with good quality white envelopes. I can’t wait to hand them to family and friends as they are a product I am really happy with.

Nativity Advent

By 14 Comments

I wanted an advent calendar that would be fun for the kiddos, but also help us keep a Christ centered Christmas. Enter the nativity advent. We add a piece of the nativity everyday until we add the baby Jesus on Christmas. My mom also sent me an email with a scripture for each day so it goes along perfectly!

Here is the scripture advent called “Remember in December.” Just click the thumbnail below. I wish I knew the source, but it just came in an email.

Now for the how-to for the

Nativity Advent

Supplies needed:
  • Cardstock
  • Nativity Stickers (mine were Stickopotamus brand dug out from the depths of my scrapbooking supplies)
  • Scissors
  • Double stick tape
  • Magnets (I cut up the ones that come on phone books)
  • Staples

1. Stick the stickers to the cardstock.

2. Cut them out.

3. Attach magnets to the back with double stick tape.

4. Make a little envelope to house the nativity pieces by stapling together a piece of cardstock.

5. Then, put up one piece a day until Christmas. We put them on the fridge so it would be in the middle of everything. I tried a cookie sheet first, but ha ha, the magnets did not stick.

My 3 yr old son was a big fan of the gift pack! Here was what I found this morning after sleeping in. He found his own breakfast. Both box lids were torn open and when he couldn’t open the bag he found a scissor. He even put them in a bowl and then proceeded to yell up the stairs, “Daddy, I got some food!” Way to go kiddo!


Chex and Kroger provided me with the free product, information, and giveaway through MyBlogSpark.

Santa Baby

By 2 Comments

Not only is it one of my favorite Christmas songs, but it is one of my favorite new finds! Look what little guy will be donning soon.

Toddler/ Children's long sleeved applique Santa Claus tee for Christmas

I know right?! Hilarious and adorable all wrapped in to one! I guess my guy just turned three so he is not really a baby anymore. He has been begging for Santa clothes. I didn’t want to get him a cheap tacky velveteen costume and good luck trying to find Santa suit pjs, I spent more time than I would like to admit on that search. (I so wanted Santa pjs for my 3 year old and elf pjs for the baby.)

Now I know to start my search on Etsy! I found this adorable little shirt/suit in Jack and Chloe’s shop. (random fun fact: she is LDS) I knew my little guy had to have it. Simple and so so fun!

Want one too? Jack and Chloe’s shop is offering 10% off any orders made through Friday, December 10th! Just use code TIPSY10.

HO, ho, Ho…Merry Christmas!

FTC Disclosure: Jack and Chloe’s shop is sending me a santa suit to review, but I fell in love with it on my own.
