FuFu Review

Fufu Products

My favorite part about the holidays was and still is cooking with the women in my family. Most of my memories of past holidays involves some sort of cooking with my Mom and my Grandma. I cherish those memories and now it's my turn to pass those memories and create new ones with my own daughter.

My daughter who is almost four is already very excited to get in the kitchen with me any chance she gets. She is even more excited now that she has her very own apron, a Fufu apron. She was so excited when I gave it to her and what made it even better, it matched Mommy's! Fufu aprons are made beautifully and the best part is that children love them because not only do get they get to be part of something exciting but they get to look the part too! Every Mother that loves to cook wants to pass that same excitement down to her children and it's wonderful that Fufu aprons can add a little pizazz to your kitchen.

Fufu Aprons are the designers passion as she grew up wearing an apron in the kitchen. These aprons aren't your typical boring apron but they have a stylish retro feel to them that makes them so adorable. Their clean lines and colorful patterns are sure to excite any cook and with several style choices you are sure to find the perfect match for you and your budding little chef.

Check out FuFu on facebook.

Flipoutz Review

Trade, Collect and Track Want something fun this Holiday for your kids. Something that they can enjoy all year long. Flipoutz is fun for kids of all ages. A bracelet that contains coins that your child can collect and trade.

Your child can interact with their friends online and keep track of the coins they are trading and receiving to find out where each coin has been and where it is going.

Flipoutz are a one-of-a-kind bracelet and that you can trade and track the five expressive coins that it holds. The coins feature customized artwork and meaningful messages. Every coin is assigned a unique serial number imprinted on the "flipside" of the coin. Using this serial number, each original coin owner can register the coin on Flipoutz.com and create a safe and customized "Owner Profile" page. On the Coin Profile Page owners can name the individual coins, briefly describe what each coin means to them or why it is important, and provide a meaningful message for all future holders of the coin to discover. Then kids trade the coins and set them free to travel the world - like a message in a bottle or a note tied to a balloon.

The best part about Flipoutz is that it was made by three kids. These three siblings were hoping to create a cool new interactive product with an Internet component that was fun for kids their age but safe enough to satisfy moms. This is when they came up with Flipoutz. What is better then giving a gift to your kids then a product that was invented by kids like them.

This fun interactive bracelet should be at the top of the list this year for your "tweens" and it's not to late you still have a few days left before Christmas! You can by this product online!

Happy Holidays!

Bow So Cute Designs Review and Giveaway

Closed

Winner # 13 mframe

I really love hair bows for little girls. I think they are a great accessory that can make any outfit absolutely adorable. Several times I have told myself I was going to learn to make these cute bows but of course I never have. Lucky for me Jacqueline over at Bow So Cute Designs creates hair bows, ribbon sculptures (hair clips), and even custom hair bow organizers at very reasonable prices. She also takes custom orders so you can get that perfect finishing touch to match any special occasion. I was given the opportunity to pick out a hair bow for review from her collection and I chose the Minnie Mouse Boutique Hair Bow.

I thought this would coordinate well with the Christmas outfit grandma sent to Penelope.

Precious boutique hair bow in red and white polka dot grosgrain ribbon with a black satin center. Measures approximately 4". Alligator clip.
All ribbon ends are treated to prevent fraying. I only use high-quality ribbon, and all bows and bow holders are made in my pet-free, smoke-free home.

The bow was exactly what I expected, it was so darling! You can tell that Jacqueline puts a lot of work into creating these adornments. I also loved that it stayed on all day! Penelope has several bows and many of them tend to slip off and not stay put. I did not have that problem with this hair bow.

Penelope was a little tired when I took this picture before her school Christmas program. And yes, she buttoned her coat herself, but despite all that doesn't she look too cute for words in her new hair bow? Bow So Cute Designs would like to offer all of you a 10% discount good on any purchase in her shop. Just use the promo code GIRLYGIRL10 at checkout.

One of you will also get the chance to win a hair bow of your choice or $5.00 off a hair bow holder (custom orders included!).
