Little House Tees Giveaway!!

Thank you all so much for the well wishes and congrats on baby numero dos!! We are incredibly excited and though we are so busy it still seems it isn't real - it is starting to sink in. We got to hear the heartbeat yesterday :)

In the picture below and our baby announcement post you saw the pictures of Charley in her 'Big Sister' shirt - this shirt was the way I originally told Jimmy we were pregnant. Then we also used it to tell our family and friends. It was perfect. Yes it took everyone a while to see it and get it - Jimmy included! But I wanted an original way to tell everyone and the shirt was perfect!!


Jennifer who is the creator of Little House Tees is giving one of my readers a shirt of their choice!! (up to $18 in value) She is amazing to work with!! She will help you create a shirt that you will love! She is also very speedy at shipping out your orders, so you will get them very quickly!! I recently ordered 2 shirts for a friend who just had her 2nd little boy - I got them matching big brother/little brother shirts!! Little House Tees make perfect Christmas/Hanukkah presents!!

She has so many adorable designs!! There are some great new holiday designs along with the big brother/sister and little brother/sister designs!

To enter to win a Little House Tee of your own just visit Jennifer's Etsy shop and leave a comment and tell me which design you would pick if you won!!

The contest will close this Thursday November 19 at midnight EST.

Water for Christmas

Part of being a Mom is doing whatever you can to take care of your child - however there are millions of Mom's out there that can't even get clean water for their kids to drink. This is causing sickness and death.



we have the power to save lives.

To change the world.

With water.


Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80%
of all sickness and disease, and kill more people every
year than all forms of violence, including war.

Please join me, Joy's Hope and Whatever and many other bloggers in spreading the word about Water for Christmas.

I am buying a gift from my daughter to the world - to make it a better place and to make sure more children in the world can have clean water to drink.

Yet for only $10 you can provide one person
in Africa with clean water for ten years.

Ten. Years.

Just $10 gives one child 10 years of clean water...please donate, as much or as little as you would like and help save lives. Do it for your children and do it every year and teach your children that there are kids out there who aren't as lucky as they are and need help getting clean water to drink and how just a little bit of money will help these kids thrive for years.

Today is about water.
Today is about saving lives.
Today is about something bigger than ourselves.

100% percent of your donation will buy water for Christmas.

Every single penny.

Thank you :)

Charley has some news to share...


Hi everyone...this is Charley :) I just wanted to let you all know I am going to be a BIG SISTER!! Yeah!! My Mommy is due to have my little brother or sister (they aren't going to find out again!) on June 1st :) I can't wait!!

I just wanted to let you all know there was a good reason that my Mommy's blog hasn't been updated recently...she has been feeling like poo for the last 6 weeks or so. She is back to feeling better now and even made it to the gym last night! I was very excited because I missed my friends at the daycare.

Thanks so much for understanding!! Here are 2 more pictures of me in my "Big Sister" Shirt (by the way...my Mom will be doing a giveaway for one of these AWESOME shirts VERY SOON so please check back!!)

I know how you all like my tongue pictures...so I decided to go a little over the top :) Enjoy!
