xx sistersThree | Giveaway xx

  I am so happy to announce a new shop on Etsy that I've stumbled upon and LOVE!

sistersThree is an adorable shop owned by three sisters (well, duh!) - Chas, Michelle, and Kelly. 

If you're looking for Busl Bears, Eco baby headbands, cute toddler scarfs and adult scarfs and cowls, Baby Bird Quilts or some beautiful art you have come to the right place :)! We are three sisters who love to create lovely things for you and your family!! From our adorable handmade teddy bears, to beautifully knit scarfs and cowls to original one of a kind works of art--we love doing what we do! Hope you enjoy your purchase and please tell your friends about us! Thank you and God Bless!

Chas of sistersThree was so very kind enough to send me this very cute toddler scarf to check out & review just for my readers!

First, how cute is this?? The color is so cute! I know my girls get tired of all the pink I put on them, so blue is a nice change for once! It's soft, it's durable, it's washable (because we all know toddlers can be messy!). It's comfortable on my little ones neck, and soft! Abbie wore it around the house for a while before taking it off, even then she made sure to test it out on her babies because they were quite chilly. I would recommend this product to any of you with toddlers and in need of a cute little scarf. Also, it would make a great photo prop to all of you photographers out there with little ones! They have many different shades & designs in the shop to choose from. Here are a few of my favorites.....

Now for the fun part!

Sweet Shot Tuesday

Another shot from my maternity shoot with my friends on Sunday.

I think this is pretty "sweet" as you can just see the love on their faces,

which will carry over into their parenting, no doubt.

I promise to show off more of these tomorrow so stay tuned! ♥

 

Favorite Photo Monday

I had a little photo session with some friends yesterday who are expecting....

Best Friends & Coffee

Do you have a best friend?

Do you like coffee?

Do you know how wonderful a best friend & a cup of coffee go together?

Well, let me tell you.

It's like therapy!

My best friend, Liz & I get together when the timing is right to sit down, have a cup of coffee (usually!) and some girl talk. It's the best. We solve all the world problems. Ok, well we mostly vent & bitch about our husbands and how they need to just do as we say (but we still adore them!). It really does me good though. I was lucky enough to meet Liz through my husband's friend, who is the fire chief of the volunteer fire company he belongs too. She's been in my life for quite a few years now & I am so thankful for her! There is no drama between us, we can pick up our conversations right where we left off, she's fun, beautiful, smart & just an all around great woman. In case you missed it, she is also expecting... eeeep! So happy for her! I can't wait to take pictures of her preggy belly, her adorable baby and her beautiful family! 

So, may I suggest that you invite your best friend over for a cup of coffee, sit down, vent, talk, cry & make it a point to do it often. It really is GREAT therapy! 

Oh and having some really good flavored creamer for your coffee is a bonus.
