BBB DAY TWENTY-NINE




BBB Day 29! I have something fun for the almost last day before the big giveaway. Dali Wall Decals are so cool, and we were lucky enough to be able to review them. The hardest part was deciding which ones I wanted to review. There are so many cool wall decals to choose from, even some you can personalize. But we chose the Space Theme for the boys room. It was super easy to put on (for Jason to put on) the walls. And Callan loved it. I think it really adds something to their room too. A fun cool play atmosphere for them. I love it, and they love it! For BBB participation, please tell me your most favorite decal from the Dali Decals website.

For my readers, Dali Decals is generously offering 5% off any order, with no minimum purchase required! The check out code is: Hanging5Off

Also, one lucky reader will win a $25 gift certificate to the Dali Decals website! Woo hoo! Here's how you can win!

1. Follow my blog.
2. Like Dali Decals on Facebook!

Giveaway ends December 6th! Good luck!

BBB DAY TWENTY-EIGHT


Almost to the end of the BBB. It did not go as well as I hoped, but for one of the lucky few who participated, there will be a nice nice nice Big Birthday Box for you. Maybe I will include something from Amy Adele! I was lucky enough to get to review some labels from her, and I love them. As you can see from the pic, I have used most of Mason's and put them on his new toys he recently got for his first birthday. The labels are high quality, waterproof, and just amazing graphics. I love all of the stuff from Amy Adele, actually, and will be a repeat customer!

For today's BBB participation, please visit Amy Adele's website, and tell me which are your most favorite products, and how you would personalize them, what you would use them for, etc.

Also check out Amy's blog HERE.

BBB DAY TWENTY-TWO





Day 22. And yet another giveaway! How excited are you? This is a cool one! I got to review TigTagz! TigTagz are disposable ID wristbands for kiddos. You can order them blank and write in your own info on them, or you can customize them online. You can add phone numbers, medical info, names, etc. And they come in a variety of designs to suit each kids style. They are water-proof and sweat-resistant! Callan loved them, and wanted to wear one just to wear one and be cool. But I really like them to go out in public with to a big event, such as the big Halloween event we went to in October! Very cool idea!

Where Moms Who Blog Go!


Day 16! Really? This month is flying by! Today is something kinda fun for the BBB. I belong to a group on Bloggy Moms called Writer's Workshop. I really am not too active in it, though I would love to be more, if I had more time. There was a post a few weeks ago....

A lot of people use the internet to find the answer to a question. A lot of time they are looking for instructions, directions, recipes... how to do something!

Your prompt this week is to write a How To Article. Think of something that you could teach someone else. Is it a recipe, a craft? So many things can fall into this category.

So, your participation today is to do this. Write a How To article. Post it on your blog, with a link back to this post, and then leave a comment here that you did this! It can be on absolutely anything you want! Have fun!
