The Chicago Baby Show Returns!

June 25, 2018 by Ashley 2 Comments

This is a sponsored post for the Chicago Baby Show and MomTrends.  All opinions are my own about the show are my own.

Last year I went to the first annual Chicago Baby Show and fell in love with the vendors, community, and speakers that presented during the long weekend.  I was able to attend for the full weekend and learned so much more about the baby world.  I love this event because it is different than some of the other parenting/baby events in the area.  This one is focused on bigger ticket items like strollers, bikes, and car seats.  There are smaller items that are note worthy as well, but those were the items that made me crazy excited to participate in such an amazing event!

American Girl Doll – Luciana Giveaway!

January 5, 2018 by Ashley 13 Comments

We’d like to introduce you to Luciana Vega, 2018 American Girl doll of the year. Luciana is the latest in American Girl’s long line of inspiring characters that encourage girls to think about who they want to be and how they want to make their mark in the world—no matter the challenges they may face. In Luciana, girls will meet a creative, confident 11-year-old girl and aspiring astronaut who dreams of being the first person to go to Mars. And, while she has the skills and smarts to achieve her goals, she also learns that being a good leader and team player right here on Earth is the best first step.

Luciana Vega—a champion of STEM and a natural-born leader who puts her whole heart into making her dreams a reality. Luciana is a role model for today’s girls—empowering them to defy stereotypes, and embrace risks that will teach them about failure and success as they chart their own course in life—whatever the goal.

Luciana’s world comes to life via a beautiful 18-inch Luciana™ doll, featuring warm brown eyes, medium skin, and dark brown hair with a distinctive purple streak to show off her creative side.

Additionally, Luciana’s story is chronicled in a chapter book series written by Erin Teagan and published by Scholastic. The first two books, available now, introduce readers to Luciana, a young girl of Chilean descent with a serious science streak, who loves the idea of exploring new territories in space. After winning a scholarship to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama, Luciana is thrilled to launch her dream of landing on Mars. But as she ascends from Space Camp kid to youth astronaut trainee, she faces many challenges that test her competitive spirit and self-confidence, and she must find the courage to embrace the unknown with bravery, curiosity, and wonder.

American Girl was kind enough to giveaway a Luciana Vega doll for one lucky reader. To enter for your chance to win this gorgeous doll fill out the rafflecopter form below.

*Giveaways runs until 1/19/2018 11:59 pm est. Open to US residents ages 18+

Upgrading Our New Bed With Premium PeachSkinSheets

October 30, 2017 by Ashley 48 Comments

I was provided free sheets for my new bed as compensation for this post from PeachSkinSheets.

As you may now know from my previous post about getting a good night sleep we just got a new mattress and bed frame.  After getting these new items in our possession I knew it was time for an upgrade for the bed and that meant new sheets for our new bed and who better to get them from then PeachSkinSheets?

new bed PeachSkinSheets

If anything buy them because of this cute puppy dog!  But no really I am in love with the set of sheets that was sent to me to review from PeachSkinSheets.   There are many reasons as to why I am in love with these sheets so let me tell you all about them and why they are the perfect sheets for myself and my hubby.

18″ Deep Sheets

This is the first reason why I love these sheets.  I hate when I struggle to put the sheets on my mattress and now with a memory foam mattress it is even harder to find sheets that are deep enough to go over the thick mattress.  Many memory foam  mattresses are 12″ or more in depth since you don’t have a box spring in use you are getting all of your height from the mattress itself.  These sheets fit over my new bed (mattress) well and even have some extra room so that I am not struggling to pull the sheets on and off of the bed.

Hypoallergenic

This is a huge selling point for me because I suffer from eczema and during the winter months it is even worse.  One thing that does seem to affect it is some materials and when you are sleeping you are all over the material.  I would hate to break out in more patches of eczema than I already have.  This is also great for people who have allergies because this is great for them.

Anti-Pet Hair

Hahaha. I love that title.  Seriously though, this is an important one for me because I have two cats that love to lay on my bed.  The material is made in such a way that pet hair does not weave itself into the fabric.  This is huge because it helps to keep pet hair from staying attached to the sheets and will wash away leaving my sheets looking new and hair free after every wash.

There are so many more amazing features to these sheets, but I fear I will talk forever if I continue telling you about them.  Instead you can check out all the details about PeachSkinSheets SMART fabrics yourself.

What PeachSkinSheets Have to Offer

While I chose a neutral color because I was unsure if I would be getting a new bedspread for our bed as well, they also offer a wide variety of colors.

new bed PeachSkinSheets

I chose the Brushed Silver that I would have to say is a nice light shiny grey color that goes very well with our room right now.  If I were to select other favorites I would have to say they would include the Deep Crimson Red and the Mariner Blue because of their deep bold colors.  Sometimes you want a splash of color and this can be the way that you get it in your room.  On the other hand if you have a room that already has a bold color in it you may want to go with one of the lighter or more neutral colors for your sheet set.

Looking at these colors in a picture might seem a little deceiving and that is why they offer free swatches so that you can see what the color looks like in person.  We all know that phone screens and computer screens can all make colors look a little different and that is why this is such a cool feature that I have not seen before.

Now on to the fun stuff!!

I have a giveaway for you where one winner can win a set of sheets for themselves.

This giveaway is open to US residents 18 and older.  It is in no way affiliated with Facebook, Instagram, or any other social media platform.  One winner will be selected and notified via email.  They will have 24 hours to respond before a new winner is selected.  PeachSkinSheets will send the package via courier and will update the winner on tracking information.

DEEP DVD Giveaway

October 24, 2017 by Ashley 2 Comments

In our house we love movies with talking animals in it.  That might be because I have a 20 month old toddler that just thinks colorful talking animals are the best thing ever.  If you have a kid like my son then this will be a movie that you will want to win for your kid.  If you want you can even try to win this as an awesome stocking stuffer gift for your kid this year.

Deep

When a playful octopus named Deep gets his undersea fish colony in trouble, the tribe’s stern leader Kraken orders Deep to go find help. Joined by his splashy BFF’s – a sassy shrimp and a silly anglerfish –

Deep takes an epic, colorful journey through submerged cities and sunken ships, where they meet outrageous creatures that help the trio on its way. Throughout the adventure, Deep and his buddies laugh, sing, and bond with one another, proving that friendship can be a very deep subject. Directed by Julio Soto Gurpide.

This movie seems like it would be for children, however it is rated PG and has some adult humor. Check out this review.
