cocorose couture (Review, Giveaway, & Discount Code!)

I'm really excited to share a fabulous shop with you today!
When I discovered cocorose couture, I was so excited!

This shop is so fun and colourful.
How could you not love the shop that produced all of this fabulousness?



Bree is the mastermind behind the shop:


Everything she creates is made from carefully selected vintage fabrics. She does beautiful work, and she has such a beautiful attitude as well. She talks about "wearing happiness" and I love that idea. Just a quick look through her shop, and you'll want to order yourself some bright, colourful happiness!

From Birthday Hat Fascinators to Rosette Necklaces and Rosette Headbands and Clips, cocorose couture is full of adorable accessories for little girls!

Another product I'm kind of in love with are these hair clip holders:


(are they gorgeous or what?)

Bree has also gotten into weddings- making accessories and bouquets for bridal parties!

(something like this would've been amazing for a winter wedding like mine was- no wilting!)

So, Bree sent me a couple of headbands for my girls to try. I was so thrilled with them when I opened them! They are adorable, and best of all, I can just put their hair in a really simple hairdo, add the headband, and they look all dressed up! I'm so excited to have these! Of course I had to share a couple of photos with you:


(Ok, I was planning to share a couple of photos, but Katrina was NOT in a good mood when I wanted to take the photos, and for the past couple of days she hasn't been feeling well, so she spent her time in pajamas, with messy hair. So, imagine Katrina looking super cute in a similar, pink version of Talia's headband.. ;)

Week in Review & March Sharing Time 2013

Here's March's Sharing Time Linky & a review of this week on the blog!

---------------------

At the start of the week, I shared an amusing conversation between the girls.


I posted about 40 Plastic Egg Fillers that are NOT candy.


I posted January's Project 365 Photos (they'll be going up monthly now instead of weekly).


I shared some of our Easter Traditions and asked you about yours.

AND I promised there would be a giveaway yesterday- and there was- but then I took it down. Don't worry- it will be back! It's coming probably on the 25th of this month, now. So, stay tuned! ;)

Fun Easter Traditions- What Are Yours? #KinderMom

So, we’re already nearly half way through March and I haven’t thought much about what I’m going to do with my kids for Easter! We are likely to do something we’ve done before, but I like to add in something new, too. My sister in law suggested making these and I do know we’ll decorate the eggs that Kinder sent us:



Last year our Easter Bunny left us glow-in-the-dark eggs in the backyard while we were getting ready for bed one night! It was so fun to go outside & hunt for the glowing eggs! (that bunny just stuck some glow bracelets inside of the eggs & taped them shut so they wouldn’t pop open)

I like to do as much as I can to teach my kids about the real meaning of Easter in fun ways. So that hopefully by the time Easter rolls around, they aren’t going to forget about it with all the fun of the Easter egg hunts they get to participate in! And I really appreciate how our Easter Bunny will often come on Saturday so that we can focus on the Saviour on Sunday.

That being said, one of my favourite parts of Easter really is watching my girls hunt for eggs- it’s so fun!

Do you have any Easter Traditions that you love?
I would love to hear about them in the comments!

Now, what would a post about Easter be without me letting you know about the great things going on with Kinder this month?! Kinder will be donating $1 to Children’s Miracle Network of Canada for every new friend of their Facebook Page from March 1st to 31st! So if you haven’t already joined their page, this is a great time to do so! Once you’re on their page you can check out their toy gallery and see what their Easter surprises look like- including the larger ones that come in the 100g eggs!

Project 365 - January

This year I've decided to take on Project 365.

Here's what I've challenged myself to:



I think I'm going to post these by the month instead of by the week.
So, even though you've seen them weekly for January, here's the first month:



P.S. There's a fun giveaway coming tomorrow, so stay tuned! :)
