Our SECOND Fabulous Friday Freebie is
#1 – A $30 Gift Certificate
AND
# 2 – A “LMNOP Tee” or Bodysuit of Choice
Looking back, we’ve had a bit of a gender bias with these weekly giveaways. Entirely too many ribbons and bows and pink and frills. So this feature is, well, almost entirely dedicated to outfitting your handsome little man! Therefore, I wont elaborate on this darling little hat, bootie and T-shirt combination…
…but I take great pleasure in bringing to you from
We Choose Joy, the Tie Collection…
Since we didn’t find out what we were having when I was pregnant with the twins, it wasnt until after Tristan and Abi were born that C and I realized how different our tastes were in dressing a little boy. We’d been given a darling blue Feltman Brothers gown (mind you, not to be confused with a dress) that I was so excited to dress Tristan in for church the first Sunday we took him out in public. C looked at it, raised an eyebrow, and a heated discussion followed. He was not letting his son wear a lacy smocked outfit in public and I was not going for the tie dyed newborn shirt he’d picked out. Im pretty sure these Tie Tees from We Choose Joy would have been a happy middle ground to find at that moment.
Suave and stylish, these cute shirts are a whimsical top for your handsome little guy. Get a onesie for your newborn and a matching tee for the proud big brother.
We Choose Joy accepts custom orders to perfectly pair a cozy cap with a coordinating tee in your color scheme of choice. Shop their store accessing
free shipping when you mention Fabulous Friday Freebies in a note to seller.
Add matching booties to outfit your dashing, debonaire little man from head to foot!

Our THIRD Fabulous Friday Freebie is a
Tutu of Choice from
Your little Sugar Plum Fairy will dance her heart out in these designer tutus handcrafted by
The Little Ballerina. The lucky winner of this drawing will receive an elastic waistband tutu embellished with satin ribbon and yards and yards of flowing tulle in the winners selected color.
Starting in the tiniest of sizes for that precious first photo shoot!
But where is any prima ballerina without her headpiece?
The Little Ballerina has dozens of boutique bows (and clippies which are some of the most original Ive seen!) for securing little whispies out of dancer’s eyes!
But if your little girly prefers tackle football in the yard with her brothers over dressing up, there is plenty more for the finding as you search for stocking stuffers!
Cute wooden letters to accessorize a room make a fun personalized accent!
And baby leggings are the new rave. A snugly sleeve for those chubby legs. Easy enough to slip onto baby after he’s sleeping or pair with a onesie for a cozy around the house ensemble. Perfectly protects little knees as baby dearest learns to crawl too!
The Little Ballerina will
discount any purchase made through our blog this week. Just mention Fabulous Friday Freebies and
15% will be refunded to you after your purchase.
Enjoy!!

Evie’s expression says it all.
Its the exact look Ive had on my face more than once this week.
But because Im an optimist, Im not going to dwell (or blog) about why Ive felt like crawling back in bed and pulling the sheets over my head this week as a single-mom with Chad out of the country. Ill choose to focus on our happy Christmas memory-making, rather than sharing about taking all five kids to be swabbed for strep and coming home with a gallon of pink amoxicillin. I wont elaborate on the fact that I had this same look of defeat on my face when I got all the kids bathed, good smelling, scrubbed down and happy and then Evie pooped in the tub warranting a bottle of bleach and another bath for the girls. And I wont cry, I wont, about the fact that Isabelle “gave the TV a hug” toppling it and smashing it to to smithereens so that my sick kids cant even watch the Charlie Brown Christmas special.
No, it was just a bad day and everybody has them.
But that book “Alexander and the Terrible Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day“…….I’m writing the sequel!
But with that said, the good has far outweighed the bad! We have been busy cooking, baking and merry making!
I had a wonderful night out for a precious reunion gathering of some of my dearest high-school friends. Great reminiscing and bantering from the days we interned together with TeenPact.
It has been nearly 10 years since we’ve seen eachother. We all now have kids the same age….and I do believe Miss Evie may have found her first little crush:-)
Our project yesterday…Cookie decorating with 5 little ones is a recipe for a delightful disaster. Sugar sprinkles everywhere and half a dozen kids on a sugar high.
The many faces of Evie studiously working on her cookie creations…
oh the concentration!
Might I recommend declining green frosted cookies if you visit our house in December?
You did not just take that away from me Mommy!
And Im off…leaving tomorrow for a weekend rendezvous with my sweet hubby in the glitter and glow of NYC. Im so excited!!
