Awesome Wall Art Using Your Photos

I'm always taking snapshots of my kids everywhere I go.  Over the past six months we've been doing some home remodeling and updating several rooms in our home.  I have been just about everywhere local and online to try to find wall art to go with our furniture.  I stumbled across a great site that takes your photo and turns it into a piece of art on canvas!  The results were fabulous and what better way to highlight what I love best - being a mom.  You can use pet photos, travel scenes, just about any photograph can be turned into a piece of art.  Why buy other peoples pictures when they can be your own.  I've posted a link to this website on our blog - just click and check out their products.

Uniforms, Backpacks and Books OH MY!

With three kids in three different private schools wearing three different uniforms, I needed to find a way to save on school uniforms.  After searching the web I found a great site with great savings on everything from uniforms to backpacks and school supplies.  They also have a huge selection of  kids clothes and shoes plus some great gift ideas.  The Kidorable site has some adorable rain gear and I found the perfect gift for an upcoming baby shower.  With the need to cut back expenses this year, here's a great way to start of items your kids can't live without!  Check them out online at UniformsAndBackpacks.com

Need To Personalize You Kids Stuff?

I can remember using sharpie pens to label my kids school and sport items so they wouldn't end up in the lost and found pile. Where was Label Daddy when I needed him? With the stranger danger scare we are now told not to put a child's name where it can be seen. Masking tape comes off and so many other items I've tried simply don't last. This company offers many types of labels that are easy to apply on all types of kids products from shoes and backpacks to lunchboxes and sport bags. They even have an allergy note label that you can customize to alert teachers or other s what they are allergic to.
