Swim Party

How amazing are those cups of "dirt" with the flowers? They are really cups of cake, chocolate ice cream, and crushed up Oreos. Bam. They were a perfect treat on a hot day.

And Adrienne and her little buddy? I just straight up passed out from the cuteness.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! I know I sure did. But now it's back to life, back to reality, or something of that nature. Double mehs.

On the agenda for today: talking about our newest sponsor, Truly Sanctuary. If you've been an avid reader of mine for a long while now, which all of you should, no excuses, you'd know how I love being comfy. Comfy foods, comfy beds, and most definitely, comfy clothing.

Long gone are the days where I wear three-inch heels, short skirts, and the dreaded midriff-baring shirts. Now my go-to friends are flats, leggings, and tees. Hello, I'm a stay at home mom. No need to feel sorry.

I'm in no way saying that I'm not fashionable. I'm not saying that I look like a frumpy-forty-year-old, either. I can still pass for twenty on any given day, but just a more put together version. Hey-oh.

So, when I teamed up with Truly Sanctuary this past spring, I pretty much fell in love with these guys. Being a wife slash husband duo, they have created an awesome t-shirt company jam packed full of awesomeness. Oh and plus also, they work from home, in sweats. Finger guns. ::pshew pshew::

Truly Sanctuary's graphic shirts are so crazy cool. And back to my comfort tangent, these shirts are so soft that you'll feel like a swaddled little baby for a complete second. And then you'll come to by doing that weird newborn arm flail. And cue awkward city.

So, do yourself a favor fav and check out Truly Sanctuary. Order some shirts for the whole fam. And check out all my other awesome sponsors on the right side of this here blog o' mine.

July 4th

I hope everyone has a safe and ridiculously amazing holiday. And remember, don't hold those sparklers too close to your gorgeous little mugs.

Skip N' Whistle Giveaway CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW OVER.  

Congrats Kelly R.! You have won your pickety pick from any of Skip N' Whistle's tees! Congrats! I will be contacting you soon! Thanks to all you other luck pressers who entered this great giveaway.

Skip N' Whistle, a t-shirt company based out of New Orleans (beignets, anyone?), has combined the love of everything cool in my book and basically screened printed it on a tee. Like kittens and unicorns, two things I've always worshipped. Who says that living in a childlike fantasy world a few times a week is bad? Um. No one. 

Amirite? Right.

Moving right along, Skip N' Whistle has an array of legit men and women's tees, sweatshirts, and tanks. They also dabble in the scarf, messenger bag, and kiddie tee biz. And let me tell you, since this company uses American Apparel shirts, they have the comfy. 

Super soft shirts with a picture of a T-Rex saying he gives free hugs? Yes. Yes, please.

These are the three tees we rocked. Adrienne got a llama shirt that she can grow into. William picked the kraken, and if you are like me and have no idea what a kraken is, virtual high fives. I, of course, picked a meow tank, for obvious reasons.

And now, SURPRISE! It's time to press your luck to try to win a tee of choice from Skip N' Whistle! No whammies, no whammies, no whammies. Stop?

For your chance to win, just log into the Rafflecopter below (or make a new Rafflecopter account), and follow the directions for each entry. Please make sure to actually do what's required for each entry. If you just click enter and not do what it's asking, I'll know. If you are unsure how to do one, skip it and contact me. I can't stress this enough. I go back and check to make sure the winner actually did what was required. I will not let cheaters win. DON'T CHEAT. Meh.

Saige Paints the Sky Review [American Girl]

In addition to sending us a doll, American Girl also graciously allowed us to screen their new movie, Saige Paints the Sky, before the public even sees it. I pretty much felt like American Girl royalty.

The movie goes along with their Girl of the Year doll, Saige Copeland. You probably already know my views on this company from reading my last post. True Life: I'm an American Girl addict.

One night last week we decided to pop some popcorn, get some drinks, turn the surround sound on, and settle in for a family cuddle puddle. Side note: Adrienne said Saige had to have her own popcorn bowl as she doesn't do well with sharing any type of food.

The movie is super heartwarming. It's basically about a young girl who goes through the normal life hardships at that age; losing a best friend, things not going her way, overcoming stage fright. Those are the norms, right? Pretty sure. She also leans heavily on her grandmother, who is played by none other than Dr. Quinn herself, Jane Seymour. 

The movie also centers around Saige's love for art, horse-riding, and singing. By the way, the soundtrack is adorable. Cute, girly little songs and such. Valuable life lessons are also included at no extra charge!

But, I'm not going to lie, Adrienne lasted about ten minutes, tops, before her tiny attention span moved on to coloring and then on to wanting to find Saige some pajamas. The movie is definitely geared towards the seven to twelve year crowd.

Anyilovebeingamoviecritic, this film was really sweet. Would I watch it again? Probably not. Would my nine-year-old self watch it again? Um. Yes. Over and over. It would have stayed in my VCR. Oh, and I legitimately couldn't remember what a VCR was called and had to Google it.

Saige Paints the Sky will be out on DVD and Blu-Ray tomorrow, July 2nd! Be sure to order a copy. It will also air on NBC, July 13th, so there is no excuse not to make your little girl's night.
