6DollarShirts.com Winner!

Hi everyone! 

Hope you've all had a great weekend.  Being a stay at home mom, and my husbands work schedule makes weekends not that important at this point in our lives...but we've been having a lot of fun this summer.

My mom (Jedea) and I took the girls to Hershey Park this week and had a blast!

The Sweetest Place on Earth!

My oldest loved meeting the Hershey Candy characters.  My youngest, not so much, haha.

My youngest sure enjoyed the food though!

And feeding the ducks all over the park was a huge hit.

 And now for what you're reallyyyyy waiting for! ;o)  The winner of the $25 6 Dollar Shirts gift card!

Congratulations, Kimberly, with comment 51!! 

I'll be emailing you in just a moment, and as always, winners have 72 hours to respond.

Thank you all for entering!

6DollarShirts.com Review and Giveaway!

Six Dollar Shirts offers high quality, silk screened t-shirts for just $6*, every day.  You can even order more, for a discount, they offer 10 for $50!  That's just $5 each.  Wow!  If you like funny t-shirts, or music, movie and tv show t-shirts, 6dollarshirts.com is a great resource. 

I will say that in this case, you get MORE than you pay for.  These shirts are so inexpensive, but they are not lacking in quality.  They run true to size (these fit my husband well, and he often has trouble with size XL shirts being too short for him), and wash well.  Plus, they are designed and printed in the USA.  I love that with 6dollarshirts.com, you are able to mix and match and select what size and color you want.  Just about every shirt is offered in yellow, sand, kelly green, light blue, vintage blue, azalea, orange, charcoal, white, brown, and red.  A few of the shirts are only available in the darker colors.  I really like having so many options! 

We were generously sent three of their awesome designs.

I'm On a Boat

Never thought I'd be on a boat. It's a big blue watery road. Designed by javco.



 The Caped Emancipator

The 16th president mixed with the nocturnal, caped superhero?! Holy civil rights, Batman! Dun nuh nuh nuh nuh..

Weird Owl

Who whoo has curly hair, a beak and sings parodies for a living? You guessed it! Weird Owl. "My mama told me when I was hatched, Act like a superstar. Save your allowance, buy a bubble dress And someday you will go far"

I love the sense of humor at 6dollarshirts.com!  These would make great, inexpensive gifts for friends and family...especially with the 10 for $50 deal.  $50 and your holiday shopping could be done for as many as 10 people!  Great for teens and back to school shopping that's coming up soon too.  They even offer a "Random Mystery Shirt" in your choice of size for just $2.95, and you can submit your own designs for a chance to win cash and store credit!

The awesome folks at 6dollarshirts.com would like to hook one lucky reader up with a $25 gift card (the code will be emailed)!

Amy Adele, Review

If you're looking for a place to purchase quality customized stationary, invitations, labels, cards and gifts--Amy Adele is the place to go.  I have recently been looking to build up a stash of stationary and business cards for Flip Flop Reviews, so I was excited for the chance to review for Amy Adele.  It was so fun to browse though the website and look at all of the great designs available, and I love that I can customize them to be what *I* want them to be.

I was generously offered a set of customized note cards.  After much browsing (so.many.cute.designs!) I finally settled on the Blue Scallop Border Flat Cards and personalized them to include Flip Flop Reviews at the top.  The blue scallops remind me a bit of ocean waves.  Amy Adele's flat note cards are great for sending out notes and tucking special messages into packages or lunches.  These would make wonderful recipe cards too.  Just add something like "From the Kitchen Of..." at the top.  Cute!  The possibilities are endless, and these are so nice to have on hand. 

The note cards arrived quickly after ordering.  They came nestled in a beautiful drawstring storage pouch, and the box also included a sweet thank you for ordering note, as well as a note card stating that all of the items at Amy Adele are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper, even the envelopes and labels.  The packing peanuts tucked into the box to keep your order safe while shipping are biodegradable too!  I love that Amy Adele cares about our environment. 

The 3.5"x5" cards are crisp and clear, and printed on quality paper.  There are so many delightful designs to choose from.  They're sure to put a smile on the face of anyone who sees them.  I received a pack of 24, and I was pleased to find out that note cards from Amy Adele *always* include envelopes! 

I will be sure to keep Amy Adele in mind for birthday invitations next time I need them.  When I was browsing for the note cards, I peeked at the selection and the invitations are adorable.  Check out Amy Adele for all your customized stationary needs and while you're at it, become a fan on facebook to hear about great promotions and new styles!

Piggy Toes Press, Crayola Wipe Off Books

I love reading.  When I was a little girl, I don't think I ever went to bed without a flashlight and a book (or two, or three!).  It is very important to me to encourage a love of books and reading in my children.  So far, I think this is going very well.

Piggy Toes Press creates quality pop-up, novelty, board, gift and activity books for children to keep them engaged in learning, and to keep reading fun.  I have fond memories of this Sesame Street book.  My husband used to be in the military, and while he was deployed he would participate in the United Through Reading Program.  He read this book to our daughters while he was in Afghanistan and they sent a dvd of him reading it as well as a copy of the book to us.  The girls loved it so much, that the book is a little worse for wear at this point...but I can't bear to just replace it as it has sentimental value. 

Piggy Toes Press kindly sent my daughters one of their delightful Crayola Wipe-Off Books.  Retailing for just $8.95 (and well worth it), these bright activity books are perfect for young children.  We were sent the Numbers book.  This 24 page book includes a dry-erase marker (low odor, I didn't notice any odor at all actually) and it really wipes off easily with just a dry cloth or paper towel.  The book is rather large, which makes it a bit akward for storing (at least here in my house it does, it doesn't quite fit on our bookshelves), but the size really makes it perfect for sharing with a sibling...plenty of room for children to sit side by side and work on the activities.  I love that all of the activities are simple and fun, but educational. 

My just turned 5 year old (as in, just this past weekend turned 5!  Where does the time go?!?) is working on learning to write her letters and numbers.  She hasn't been to preschool so we work on writing a lot here at home.  This was a fun way for us to practice! 

Check out my little chatterbox! :o)

I highly recommend that you like them on Facebook (www.facebook.com/piggytoespress) as well, because they often offer fun giveaways!  Don't miss out, go LIKE them now!  :o)
