Owl Gender Reveal Shower Invitations

I was so excited to receive a special order request. A mom from my original Mommy Group (7 years ago! I am still in denial that I have a 7 year old) wanted a Gender Reveal shower invitation with an Owl theme.  I have been loving the chalkboard style that is trending so I combined the two ideas and wala! Adorable owl gender reveal! I hope she has an amazing shower in Canada!

Give the gift of Pure Barre

It is so important to shop local. I really didn't realize that until I started my small business. Slowly in the first few years, I realized that I had shifted my shopping habits away from big stores and moved toward small businesses. Then I joined the Junior League of Huntsville and realized that not only do I need to shop small businesses but I need to shop local businesses. There are so many amazing local shops to purchase really great, unique and still affordable gifts. And in doing so, you are supporting your local community. Your sales tax dollars go toward education, public transportation, roads, and so much more! When you really think about it, why not put it back in the community you are raising your family in?

Enter the Shop Local Mother's Day giveaway, peruse the facebook pages of each of the retailers in the giveaway and start thinking local for Mother's Day. You'll be giving a gift for mom but also a gift for your family and the entire community. It sounds big and outrageous but it's the small things that build great wonders.

Here is a great photo of Pure Barre's owner, Meredith Davis, with her amazing staff. Together they are ready to help you Lift Tone & Burn! Does your mom already Lift Tone and Burn at Pure Barre? Shop their clothing store and give her that little extra to wear next time she attends class! They have an amazing selection of color and outfits!

Win a Year's Worth of Stationery

So I keep hearing about these amazing little boxes that arrive in the mail each month. You receive fun samples and such in the. I thought it would be neat to offer a year of stationery. You won't know when the box will arrive or what will be in it. You may receive folded notes, flat notes, birthday cards, thank you cards, address labels, calendars, etc. How cool would that be?! I am a lover of all things paper and look forward to designing stationery for one lucky winner!!Enter to win here.




"Do you remember that feeling of opening the mail box and seeing a card mailed to you in it? Even as an adult I get excited to see a card or letter in my mailbox. In today's modern world it's becoming a lost art to hand write a card or letter and that is so sad. I pride myself on teaching my children to always write thank you cards and thinking of you cards. To win a years worth of free cards would not only benefit me but it would my kids and it would also bring lots of smiles to those who receive the cards whether its a thank you card or a sympathy card or a special occasion. You never know how much a simple hand written card can mean to someone. Belle announcements has been my top choice for all my stationary needs for several years and I always enjoy ordering. I feel like kid a at Christmas when I get my new cards in the mailbox."
