China Baroque Giveaway, 2 Winners!

Christmas in July is coming to a close, and I can't think of a better way to end than sharing with you one of my favorite finds.


China Baroque is an online retailer based out of Houston that takes broken pieces of china and fabricates custom pieces of sterling jewelry. They have a wonderful collection of stock pieces for purchase online and even more choices in their store front, but what made me fall in love with China Baroque was their capability to make custom pieces using your very own broken china pieces. It tears your heart in two to see your beautiful china crack or break, but it makes your stomach queasy to throw any of it away. I know it does mine anyway. What a creative way to show off a family heirloom that is no longer suitable for its original use.


I am incredibly pleased with the quality of the pieces I have received from China Baroque. It is visibly clear in their quality how much they care, and want to provide pieces of jewelry that you will cherish for a lifetime. They have a unique ability to show case your broken china without loosing its original appeal.


To check out what they have to offer, visit them on the web a http://www.chinabaroque.com/.


Thanks to my new friends a China Baroque for the opportunity to review their one of a kind products. For my fellow readers, they are offering up 2 $50 gift certificates. That's right, TWO readers will win a $50 gift certificate to China Baroque. All you have to do it visit their online shop and leave me a comment telling me what you would spend it on. Easy enough!

Bombat Washer Giveaway

Everyone knows the game... Similar to horse shoes. Washers, Washer toss, Holey Board, whatever you call it, it is a staple in American backyard games.
Bombat Washers provides the highest quality powder coated washers, boards, and accessories you can find.

We can't seem to have a get together with out pulling out the boards and pitching a few games. My husband was giddy when Bombat Washers sent me their Texas A&M Washer "Pit Kit."

It comes with 2 sets of powder coated A&M pitching washers, handy dandy little carrying cases for them, 2 PVC cups, and of course the rules to complete the set all wrapped up in neat little package.

They offer Officially Licensed Collegiate washer games to their very own classic designs like smiley faces or flames. You can even customize your pitching washers with your very own text. To accompany your washers, they offer several different boards, and accessories too. I'm putting the Telescoping Pick Up Magnet on my husbands Christmas list for sure!

If you already have a set, these make a great gift. Anyone at any age can play this game. (My Sweet Boy has been pitching washers like his Daddy since his 1st birthday. He's almost 2, and has got great "technique"...he's so proud of himself!)

If you are from another planet and aren't quite sure what this game is all about, check out BombatWashers.com and get your learn on in Washers 101. You can even learn the "History" of the game right their on their website.

Bombat Washers is giving away a $50 Gift Certificate to one lucky winner, all you have to do is visit Bombat Washers and tell me what your favorite item is.

Rock 'N Learn

My Sweet Boy is a dancing fool, so when I stumbled on to this website I knew I had to give it a try.

Rock 'N Learn is a company that provides educational dvd and cd's for children of all ages. Each dvd focus on reading, math, social studies, etc. for an individual age group.

We have a very limited amount of tv time in our house, but when the tv is on I want my children to be able to get the most out of it.
We have watched this 45 min dvd every day for a week. He will get this particular case off the rack mixed in with all the other dvd's we have and bring it to me. Once we get it in the player, he turns into a dancing machine. Great exercise for My Sweet Boy.

My Main Man and I have been amazed at what he is learning from it, too. Rock 'N Learn does an awesome job on this dvd of showing a cartoon animal and then a picture of the real thing for association. In just one week My Sweet Boy can point out a horse, a cow, and a duck. He really likes flapping him arms like a duck when he sees one now. Crazy kid. He gets so proud of himself when he sees an animal and says the name back to me. He is only 19 months so he doesn't follow the direction of the dance moves very well, but it doesn't keep him from free styling!


The folk's over at Rock 'N Learn want to give you the opportunity to experience it, too. So they have given all my readers 25% off their total purchase. All you have to do it enter this code JQ7711 at checkout.
And for 2 of my lucky readers, YES TWO, you will get to try one for free!

All you have to do is check out their website at Rocknlearn.com and tell me which dvd you might choose. (make sure you leave your blog address or e-mail in your comment so I can contact you.)

I wanted say a quick thank you to Rock ‘N Learn for providing me with the opportunity to sample their product free of charge, and being so gracious to sponsor 2 additional items to give away. Let it be noted that their sponsorship did not have any impact on my opinion of their product.

Posh your Pipsqueek!

Happy birthday to me! My gift to you is a freebie! That was cheezy, sorry.

So, I am definitely a t-shirt and jeans kinda gal, but my kiddo's...I keep them dressed to the 9's! So naturally when I stumbled on to Posh Pipsqueak, I had to check it out. They have over 40 different styles of leg warmers, which are all the rage right now. Girls or boys, arms or legs, infant to toddler, even your big kids...you can outfit them all. I loved them so much, I bought Miss Sassy Britches 4 pair!

Isn't she cute!

Posh Legs.



So adorable.

Fuzzy legs.

They are great protection against red knees when your pipsqueak is crawling all around and make diaper changes especially easy. I personally love them because they are ohhh soooo cute! I have a pair in our diaper bag right now, because with this Houston weather you never know what is going to be like. You can slip them on and off with ease with out having to change an entire outfit.

Guess what...I contacted my friends over at Posh Pipsqueak and they want to give YOU a pair! One lucky winner will get a pair of Posh Legs courtesy of Posh Pipsqueak. How awesome is that!

All you have to do is check out their website at PoshPipsqueak.com and leave me a comment letting me know what pair you would pick! (make sure you leave your blog address or an e-mail so I can contact you if you are the lucky one.)
