{Clorox Bathroom Essentials ToiletWand Prize Pack Giveaway}

With spring here I have been focusing on getting my spring cleaning done.Clorox has always been one of my favorite brands to clean my home with. For everyday use as well as helping me tackle spring cleaning. Their products make even the worst cleaning job not so bad. One product that I have used for a while and is part of my regular cleaning products is the Clorox ToiletWand. It is convenient and perfect for the worst job in the house. I love that all the cleaners are already on the disposable heads. The heads reach in more places the traditional brushes do not. The container also holds extra heads that can easily be replaced. I love having clean toilets and the Clorox ToiletWand makes the job much easier and keeps them sparkling clean. I am so glad to let you know that thanks to Mom Central and Clorox that one of our readers will win a Clorox Bathroom Essentials ToiletWand Prize Pack including a ToiletWand, bathroom rug, toilet decal, and toilet paper holder.

{Myah Bee Bowtique Tutu Set} +Giveaway

Both of my daughters love tutus. For play, photos or just for special times they both seem to love them. Myah Bee Bowtique is one of those places where you would love to order one of everything and call it a day. All of her tutus are handmade. Each one is full of detail and the quality is amazing. My daughter has one of her custom Easter Tutu sets and I think it came out completely beautiful. It came with a bunny rhinestone shirt, tutu and a matching bow to complete the look. She loves it and just dances around twirling in it. I am excited for her to wear it this Easter and she is just precious in it.

{Mo'Bella Boutique}

Spring and Summer are finally on the way. And with the warmer temps we are so excited about getting some new spring and summer styles for the kids. My girls both love wearing dresses. Finding ones that are affordable but also durable is what matters most to me. For them they have to be cute, fresh and fun and totally wearable. My daughter has a new dress from Mo'Bella and it is exactly what I look for in a dress. Soft, durable, and easy to care for are a few reasons why I love this dress. It has been hand crafted with designer fabrics with the softest ribbed cotton.

Make a Flannel Board

My kids always loved the flannel board at library story time. You know, the boards with the felt shapes that stick to them.  I mentioned this one day when talking to my pre-school-teacher sister.  Her response was Oh yeah, the kids at school love the flannel board that I made. 

Project!   I made a flannel board for my kids, and over the years we have used our flannel board to tell stories, play games, and as they got older even to study spelling words with flannel letters!  It was inexpensive and easy to make.

Here's how:

Have your kids played with Moon Dough yet? All of my kids are absolutely fascinated with Moon Dough. They can play with it for hours creating and having fun.

It is really light and fluffy and super easy to work with. It is wheat-free, hypo-allergenic, and comes in 8 fun colors. It is not that bad to clean up, just dab a ball of it to collect more.

{Lovable Labels Camp Packs} + Giveaway

Keeping things organized is my job in our house. I take it very seriously and love finding great new products and ideas to make it all easier. With 3 kids, we have tons of stuff. And it doesn't all just stay at home. From sleepovers, to trips and everything in between we lose lots of things. Now that I have been using Lovable Labels I can label everything that I want for the kids. And do it in a fun way that kids will love. Lovable Labels has labels for just about any purpose and their fun and hip designs allows you to make them unique for your kid.

One of their newest personalized packs are their Camp Packs. And they are just in time for camp season. The packs have everything you need to keep your kids organized. And the best part about the labels is that they are also dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer safe. With so many design and personalization options you can really get something they will love! Another thing I really love about the labels is that you will lose less stuff! yay! They are a fun way to keep your kids accountable for their things.

{Pink Chicken}

With spring fast approaching it is that time again to get the kids some new spring and summer styles. I love shopping online for my kids. You can really get so many different things that I often cannot find in person. Shopping for my girls is so much fun and the clothes are certainly much more fun then when I was a kid. They are not picky, but as mom I often look for durable stylish clothes that can endure all that my kids will put them through.

{Jitterbug: Music for Hip Kids}

There's a great site for parents of preschoolers that we came across recently called Jitterbug: Music for Hip Kids. When listening to kids music, most parents have had the feeling - "If i hear that song one more time I'll scream!"  Head over to Jitterbug and find some fun new music to listen to with your little ones.

Jitterbug has tons of familiar music - songs from Jack Johnson, Lisa Loeb, The Song from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" or Nora Jones singing "Don't Know 'Y'" with Elmo; and they also have
