Adorable Winter Coats! {KidsCoats.com Review}

Even though spring has hit in full force here in Texas, I am always keeping an eye out for great deals on fabulous winterwear! We all know how fast time flies and I know before I can blink an eye we’ll be through summer and winter will be hitting again! Ava is super picky about fabrics and the way clothing feels when she wears it. As soon as I saw the Corky and Company Girls Fashion Fleece Hot Pink Mary Jane Bubble Winter Coat at KIDSCOATS.com I knew I had to get it for Ava. Fleece is so soft and warm, I was hoping she would love the feel!

This season at KIDSCOATS.com We have the largest selection of Corky & Company Coats all at great prices and with FREE SHIPPING.

Take your time and browse our huge selection of girls coats, kids jackets and girls raincoats. Whether it’s for a baby gift or your child’s winter coat, just sit back, relax and choose a great Corky coat, hat and mittens.

Our loyal customers rave about our fast FREE SHIPPING.

Ava and I feel instantly in love with the Corky and Company Girls Fashion Fleece Hot Pink Mary Jane Bubble Winter Coat , the attached hood and sweet military button detailing drew me in, and of course, the pretty pink instantly caught Ava’s eye. She got to help pick it out and when it arrived she immediately wanted to try it on. It is a bit big as we ordered a size up so it should fit next winter, but that didn’t stop her from prancing around the house and posing in front of the mirror in her new darling coat! She even took a little nap in it one day! So cute! It is snuggly soft and I know it will be warm and cozy through the winter months next year. I am thrilled she loves wearing it and the texture and fit feels good to her. That can be so tricky with my girl.

Little Clothes For My Little Guy {mybabyclothes.com Review & Giveaway}

Being pregnant I hear other pregnant ladies talk about why they wanted or a boy or why they wanted a girl. Often times you hear those pregnant, or wanting to be pregnant, with a girl say they can’t wait to dress them up in tutus and bows. It is very rare that you hear a baby boy mama say “I can hardly wait for little khaki’s and plaid shirts.” In fact I always said I wanted a boy to be the big brother and secretively I wanted the tutus and bows.

That is…until I learned that boys clothes can be really cute! mybabyclothes.com taught me that boys clothes are freakin’ cute!!! Founded by Greg and Michelle Sanders in Georgia, they “strive to bring you the most fashion forward and unique baby clothes on the web, all at an affordable price! [Their] team searches to find the cutest, most comfortable, and highest quality clothes and accessories available. [mybabyclothes.com's] goal is to offer these unique and trendy boutique style clothes at affordable prices.” They have hit the nail right on the head!

Don’t you agree that their boy’s clothes are cute!? Just imagine the girls!

I received two adorable pieces from mybabyclothes.com–the Mud Pie Monkey Swim Trunks and Ruffle Butts Blue Woven Tie .

Aren’t these little swim trunks stinkin’ cute!? The fabric is high quality and the colors are nice and bright. I love the patterns and the details..the monkey has a button nose!! There is also a blue and white zebra patterned pocket on the booty. The swim trunks even have a mesh lining…quality I tell you! I can hardly wait to take my little guy to the pool.

And then there is the tie. Honestly, this looks like a grown man’s tie but shrunk down. It is top of the line quality and adjustable to grow with baby. This works for newborns to 2 years. What a great way to spend $10!! Now if my little one would just make his appearance so I can dress him up and take him to church and other events.

I have been nothing but impressed with mybabyclothes.com. I can’t say enough times that the quality of these products are amazing. I will be a customer many times over FOR SURE! Love this company!! mybabyclothes.com is Real Moms approved!

Making School Uniforms Look Good! {French Toast Review and Giveaway}

Just over 3 years ago, I enrolled my kids in a Charter school. Hailee was in 2nd grade and April and Austin were in kindergarten. There were so many aspects to this school that I was super excited about, it was brand new, had leveled learning, and had a school uniform. There were a few things that Hailee was not looking forward to, leaving her old school, leaving her friends and wearing a school uniform. What was a major plus for me was not a major plus for her. Since she had been in a “regular” school for a couple of years, she was used to wearing whatever she wanted to school and knew that it was going to be quite and adjustment for this little fashionista to wear practically the same thing to school every day. When I heard about French Toast, I immediately placed my order! We live in a small-er town and pretty much our only shopping is Walmart, or we drive 45 minutes to the nearest mall. Therefore, I love me some online shoppin!! This is a picture of one the first uniforms we got from French Toast (3 years ago). I fell in love with French Toast from the moment my first package came in the mail. I was super impressed with the quality of every item we got! My kids wear polo style shirts everyday. If you have ever gotten the Walmart ones, you would know that after a few wears, they have a hard time coming clean. Our French Toast ones were not only CHEAPER then the Walmart ones, but a much better quality. They wash/wear really nice! My kids have been wearing the French Toast brand for the last 3 years and besides out growing their clothes, there hasn’t been a single issue with them

When I got the opportunity to review French Toast, I jumped on it! I was super excited to try their sweaters! We have ordered pants, skirts, shorts and polo’s in the past….just never a sweater! This year, the school went SUPER strict of dress code and said they could only wear navy sweaters, where in the past they had been able to wear navy, white or yellow. Have you ever looked for a CUTE navy sweater with nothing on it?! Not all that easy to find…unless you are on French Toast! Hailee, my needs to look “super” cute everyday girl, got the Cable Front Cardigan. April needs to be comfy (and cute) so she went with the Pom-Pom Zip Up Sweater. Austin, he could careless. He is going to wear the first thing hanging in his closet, so I picked the Zip Front Sweater for him. In less then a week, I had sweaters being delivered to my house. All three were thrilled…even Austin! They love wearing them, not only because they are super cute, but they are comfy and warm. We are in Utah, and things get COLD here, so that is a big deal! Another big deal (according to Hailee) is that she can’t have the same clothes as everyone else. French Toast has SO many different items that you are sure to get something that is perfect for your kids that will make them stand out…as much as you can stand out in a uniform. I am all for my kids wearing a uniform, but I do want them to be themselves. When we shop at French toast, they can pick things that still fall into the uniform category, but show a little bit of personality as well.

“French Toast Official School Wear™ is America’s leading brand of school uniform. Since 1958, our company has provided families with quality children’s wear and boys and girls school uniforms at great prices. Our selection of uniform styles and sizes is second to none, from toddler size uniforms through young adult, French Toast carries over 6,000 individual colors, styles and sizes in stock, all year round!”

French Toast has an incredible online store where you can find everything you need to send your kids off to school. They also have a catalog and do sell in stores as well! If you are looking for uniforms that will hold up in the wash, hold up at school, and stand the test of comfort…French Toast is the place to shop! Real Mom Approved!!

Dynamic Duo. {Jockey Tech Terry Sports Bra & Purex CrystalsTropical Splash Review & Giveaway}

Well, we are in the new year and I have been reading and chatting a lot with friends about resolutions and goals for the new year. It seems each year I am struggling to lose a few pounds and this year is no different. In an attempt to not go along with the crowd, instead of making losing weight a New Year’s resolution, one of my resolutions is to be healthier and work exercise in daily. Hopefully all those other benefits, like losing weight, will just be a result of a few positive changes! Jockey and Purex were so generous and sent me a Jockey Tech Terry Sports Bra and a bottle of Purex Crystals Tropical Splash Fabric Softeners to help me along my way to a healthier new year!

For more than 130 years, Jockey’s mission has been to satisfy the human need for comfort, so everything we do at Jockey, we do with you in mind. We hope you like our stuff, but more importantly, we hope you like how you feel when you wear our stuff.

I love workout clothing and sports bras can be so tricky. You want a sports bra that is breathable, comfortable, & supportive. It can be a challenge to find a well fitting sports bra with all these details, but Jockey has created a contender! I was sent a Jockey Tech Terry Sports bra in Black and have been loving wearing it

during my new years workouts! The soft material is moisture wicking, keeping me cool and dry throughout my daily workouts! It has breathable mesh panels and even a convenient hidden key pocket! This sports bra is super comfortable, with it’s soft material and soft bottom band for comfortable support, I could really wear it all day long.

Purex Crystals Tropical Splash fabric softeners have been a fantastic addition to our laundry routine, especially when washing my workout clothes and my husbands work clothes. We all know how stinky workout clothes can get and my husband is a mechanic; I’m sure you can imagine how smelly and dirty his clothes get at work. Purex Crystals are 92% natural crystals that go in at the start of the wash, so they spend more time with your laundry infusing them with long-lasting freshness! Sounds amazing, right?! Smells amazing, too! Your laundry will smell fresh and feel incredibly soft! Even Bo noticed a difference in how his clothes felt! Those are some powerful little crystals! I have been keeping my Jockey Tech Terry Sports Bra in beautiful shape by washing it with detergent and the Purex Crystals fabric softeners! The innovative Purex Crystals formula does not impact the sweat wicking of the sports bra, so I know washing with this fabric softener is keeping my sports bra in perfect condition!

The Jockey Tech Terry Sports Bra and Purex Crystals are both Real Mom approved!!

Get Cuffed! {My Hikes Review and Giveaway}

I have numerous pairs of kiddo jeans and pants that are completely tattered and torn across the back of the heel. Mainly because I am cheap. I like to buy my kids clothes a little big so they can wear them longer. I buy the ones with an adjustable waist and cinch them all up but then there is the length issue. Issue solved! My Hikes is a genius company that makes a genius product. “My Hikes pant cuff fasteners make your child’s cuffed pants look like cleverly accessorized clothing instead of clothing mishaps.” Hailee, my 10 year old, LOVES these!! I was sure that when we got the princess set, Mia (4) would be the only one wearing them. False, Hailee likes them just as much, if not more. Her favorite way to wear them is more a “summer” way, but I don’t argue for 2 reasons. 1. She is 10 years old and knows WAY more then her mother. 2. It DOES look super cute and it isn’t my legs that are freezing. She likes to cuff her skinny jeans up mid calf and then slides the My Hikes on. The other way she has been wearing them is the “winter” way, if you will. She simply folds the bottom of her pant leg up into a cuff and slides the My Hike on. Both ways are super fun and cute! I love the 5 darling designs that My Hikes offers. They are Princess, Flower, Soccer, Baseball, and Train. I am thinking that I may have to order a flower set for me because I LOVE THEM! Think about them with a great pair of flip flops and some ankle length capris in the summer……ooooohhhhh! It makes me smile just thinking about it (it maybe the fact that it is 12 degrees and I would love to have somewhere to wear capris!) Place an order and use the code MYHIKES10 and get 10% off your order and free shipping! (Plus they are on sale right now for $12!! You can’t be that price for cuteness!!!) Real Mom Approved!!

Holiday Glamour {Teri Jon Review}

I can remember in high school going to pick out a fancy dress for dances. I felt like a princess when I finally found “the one.” I couldn’t wait to wear it and I was sad when the night was over. I mean heaven forbid you wear the same dress twice. The bummer part was, when would I wear it again?

As I got older I met a man who is very involved in the community. We go to galas, balls, and fundraisers. Suddenly I have use for those high school dresses. The only problem is, some don’t fit as wonderfully as they did in high school, dang it! Therefore I have spent time at the dress store trying to find “the one.” Unfortunately, find the perfect dress isn’t as easy as it was in high school. I don’t want to look like I am trying to be in high school and I don’t want to look like I am a grandmother. I just want to look like a hot, trendy, twenty-something year old.

Teri Jon is “one of New York’s most successful businesses.” Over the past thirty years, designer and CEO Rickie Freeman “has focused on making sure that her company provides women with dazzling affordable luxury apparel.” It has become a “leading brand that is sold at the finest specialty and department stores around the world.” “A July 2007 Women’s Wear Daily survey of women between the ages of 21 and 59 found that Teri Jon was one of the top ten labels that women found important to wear.” Teri Jon has “distinctive style, excellent quality and unequaled craftsmanship, all combined with genuine value.” They “combines the finest fabrics in the wildest spectrum of colors with extraordinary detail and embellishment to create beautiful and distinctly feminine silhouettes.”

“Every Teri Jon design is influenced by Ms. Freeman’s belief that a woman’s body is a gift and the clothing she wears is the wrapping! Whether it’s a soft and sheer body skimming gown, or an exquisitely tailored suit, Ms. Freeman offers her clients couture quality details for exceptional value.”

I was utterly thrilled when Teri Jon gave me the opportunity to review two of their products. Talk about being a lucky lady. I received the Navy Taffeta Flowered Dress. This dress is so fancy, trendy, and funky I can hardly wait to have this baby so I can get dressed up and go out on the town in it. It has the most wonderful asymmetrical neckline. I feel like it draws up to my face by showing just a pop of skin. The “side ruffle elongates the torso and adds an extra touch of elegance.” It has a cute litte skinny belt with a rhinestone buckle for a little bling and extra fanciness. This belt pulls in the waist to help give an hourglass shape. The full, pleated, knee length skirt adds to the trendiness and glamor of the whole piece. This is the “perfect dress for a size 2 through a size 16.” Isn’t the best!?

Teri Jon also gave me the chance to review the Black Feather Cardigan. This is the fanciest black cardigan I have ever seen! It is also available in a grey. “The feathers add another dimension to your standard cardigan, making it the perfect sweater for both day and night.” Plus doesn’t it scream glitzy holiday party!? “For your work look, wear the cardigan open over a matching shell with any of your favorite work pants or skirts. To dress it up for night, wear it over a black dress with a pair of bright tights and heels; or pair it with a high-waisted patterned skirt and your favorite black boots – either way you are sure to stand out and look fabulous.” My favorite thing about this sweater it is super soft. Even with the feathers on it!

Amanda and Christina received the same two prize pieces as I did. Here is what they have to say:

Wow. That was about all I could say when I first saw the Rickie Freeman for Teri Jon website. I mean, really, it is pretty much packed with amazing clothing, especially dresses for all sorts of occasions. I found so many gorgeous dresses, ones I would love to have in my closet! I was really drawn to the dresses that could be worn casually and then also dressed up for a night out on the town with girlfriends or a hot date with the husband! Those are the dresses I find I get the most wear out of and best suit my lifestyle. Rickie Freeman for Teri Jon generously sent me their Navy Taffeta Flowered Dress and a Black Feathered Cardigan. The Navy Taffeta Dress is a fancy little number complete with flowers and cute belt accented with crystals. It is beautifully made and would be perfect for the right occasion and person. It has a vintage flair and the asymmetric neckline and modest length are two things I really like about the dress. However, the flowers and taffeta make it a bit too fancy for me.

I wasn’t quite sure about the Feathered Cardigan at first, it is so different from anything I have ever worn. Well, it’s unique look has quickly grown on me and I can’t wait to wear it throughout the holiday season! The wispy feathers and sequin accents really add dimension and fun to this beautifully made couture cardigan; it would most definitely make a great holiday party sweater but can also easily be worn casually during the day or out for the evening. It has that dressed up or dressed down option that I love!

Ava adores it, too and keeps asking me to get one for her! She is a feather nut! A gorgeous new dress from Rickie Freeman for Teri Jon would make any woman feel extra special this holiday season!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I remember hearing that often when I was growing up. My dad was into auctions, antiquing, and yard sales long before they were “cool”, and watching him select treasures for their tiniest and finest details, will linger in my mind for the rest of my life. When I look for a quality piece of clothing, furniture, or art, I am looking for those distinctive details. Teri Jon is a company noted to sell “dazzling affordable luxury apparel” and their website definitely proves to have many lovely dresses and coordinates, so imagine my excitement when they said they were going to send me one of their pieces! Along with my fellow RMRV moms, I received the Navy Taffeta Flowered dress. I will be honest, as a classically simple gal, I was a bit taken aback by the choice of large flower and draping on the left side. Being a bit smaller framed, my hubby thought it kinda swallowed me up! Perhaps a little much to wear to a Christmas dinner where I come Despite the style, the dress is well made of quality taffeta, has a flattering shape that would appeal to a variety of sizes, and comes in navy (a very “in” color). Even the tiniest details were thought of in the tiny crystals on the belt buckle. Every women should have at least one beautiful go-to piece to wear for a fabulous evening out………..check out Ricki Freeman for Teri Jon to discover which piece that will be for you!

We sure are lucky ladies! Teri Jon is Real Moms approved!
