La Mia Bella Boutique: A Review & GIVEAWAY!

Just like most mamas, I loove shopping for my little lady; I would much rather buy something cute for her than for myself these days! I don't know what it is about "styling" a mini that is so darn fun, but it JUST IS....everything about it!
So, when Courtney, owner and operator of La Mia Bella Boutique, contacted me about doing a little review for her on the ol' blog in exchange for some darling baby girl clothes and accessories, I jumped ALL over that! I've never had the opportunity to do this before, so I was very excited about it.
We received quite the loot from Courtney! Here it is in all its glory:
peasant style dress w/ coordinating bow
chevron top with minky pants set
baby legs + clippies & pins
 Of course, she was even thoughtful enough to include some Wildcat swag!
wildcat boutique style bow
As most of you know, I've just gotten Jaqs wearing bows within the last few months, so she is basically NEVER without one now! I still can't get her to keep a headband in, though.
Anyway, this "wildcat" bow is ADORABLE. The quality is great and quite sturdy. It is affixed on on a lined alligator clip, so it stays in place in her hair. Courtney has a wide variety of bows in her shop and is all about customizing to YOUR needs/desires, so be sure to visit with her if you're needing specific colors or styles!
 You cannot go wrong with leg warmers on little girls of ANY age! Jaqs wore them a lot as a newbie, and I still love to put them on her now. These blue & red ruffled chevron ones are so precious and the perfect colors to support our Cats! Again, there is no slipping or sliding with these, and she'll be able to wear them even as she grows below the knee! LOVE THESE!
 This little paisley printed peasant style dress is stinkin' adorable, y'all. Seriously. I absolutely love all the colors in the fabric, and even more importantly, it is cut to a super cute fit. These dresses are meant to have a little "room," but it certainly doesn't look like she's wearing a tent with the way Courtney has sized it.
 The gathering on the neck is very sweet, and the flower applique just sets it off. Also important to mention is that the fabric is really great quality, so this dress should be able to live up to a rough & tumble little girl juuuust fine! :)
 Tell me this is not one of the sweetest little outfits?? Love!
You can find similar styles available in her shop, and again, Courtney is all about customizing, so see if the two of you can't dream up a little something together!
Pink and orange are two of my favorite colors, so of course I adore this little pant set! The top is cotton and the pants are minky, so although it's really cute, it's also really comfy! That's a biggie for me just because I hate to have to change Jaqs into something different to wear for naps during the day. I love the fact that this outfit is special enough to wear to a party or small event while still being comfortable. 
Courtney included some bonus clippies & embellished bobby pins for casual wear, and they're the perfect little addition to every day play clothes. Jaqs wears these smaller clips in her hair from the time she wakes up because she can't stand for it to be in her eyes. The butterfly clip is on a lined alligator clip, and Jaqs really does love it. She brings it to me to wear all the time, whether it matches or not!
The bobby pin with the dainty rosette is one of my favorites that I've seen! Far better than anything I could have picked up at Target or elsewhere, that's for certain. I love these!
I would absolutely recommend La Mia Bella Boutique for outfitting your little ladies! The clothes we received are well-made, and the bows are just perfect. I love that Courtney can customize things so your little one has something all her own! After all, she is a mom to two darling little girls, so she knows the importance of being unique!

*****

Now for the REALLY fun part: YOU get the chance to WIN an item from Courtney's shop! She has generously offered up {one} appliqued holiday t-shirt, and you have THREE choices to pick from. The options shown are for girls, but they can also be customized for boys, so boy moms, you definitely don't have to miss out here :)
To enter, follow the Rafflecopter below! :) This giveaway will run through the end of next week.

lately...

I never did get around to my weekend post, so how about a little mid-week update instead?

*Last Friday, my family of 3 loaded up & headed to Dallas to meet one of my favorite blog friends, Mateya! She was in town for an AdvoCare convention, and I knew we wouldn't probably get this opportunity again soon, so off we went! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous, but y'all, it was SO FUN....not at all awkward/weird. It was like we've known each other forever, and we were just getting "caught up." Our morning went so fast, and we've already said this HAS to happen again....when & where are the questions ;) Can't wait!
*Well, this has started happening. Thankfully she hasn't actually made it over the rail yet, but I won't be surprised if it happens soon. The good news is that she just lays down and goes to sleep at night....let's pray it stays that way!
*Is there anything like seeing your baby and baby-daddy in a sweet moment? I just don't think there is...it's THE BEST. We've been missing daddy around here this week for sure.
*We had our annual program pics on Sunday, and OH MY. Jaqs refused to put the FULL sized football down, so it will be our 4th family member in this year's picture. Oh well. Last year we had a 4 month old stone-faced baby, this year we'll have a 16 month old my-way-or-no-way toddler. These are the days! ;)
 *We try to have Rob's position kids over a couple times during the season for dinner, so we had our kick-off dinner Sunday. We teamed up with the other secondary coach and his wife, and I think everyone had a good time! Jaqs just got right in there with those big boys to play ball. I'm glad she did because this is going to be a big part of her little life!
 *Of course, Jaqs was dressed for the occasion, but she lost her bow at some point, so she ended up looking like the most precious baby boy :)
*Last but certainly not least, I'm teaming up with some other ladies for a "goody bag" giveaway in honor of Kate @ The Green Fashionista's birthday!! Hop on over and enter to win some of my favorite things lately!!


Hope y'all are having a great week so far! Happy Wednesday!

Subway Art Giveaway!

Hi friends! Anyone out there down for some giveaway action??
I had a lot of fun making my little subway art pieces, so I've decided to offer up TWO to giveaway to you lovelies. Hopefully this won't be a total flop ;)
Upon winning, I'll customize the fonts, colors, and wording to your liking and send the PDF/JPeg to you to print in whatever way you'd like. You can put it on a canvas like I did or simply frame it. The file will be yours to do with whatever you wish!
There will be TWO winners, and each of you can pick if you'd like the birth stats or love story file. Of course, if you're expecting and you'd like to hold off until baby is here, that's perfectly fine! Let's just say there's a 9 month expiration date, shall we? ;)
