This product is near and dear to my heart….cause it’s mine!

Stencils are cut from durable mylar, so they can be cleaned and used over and over! Great for walls, fabric, canvas, paper, you name it!

Let’s be real….I’m DYING to do something awesome with this one!

So let’s face it….I probably would have lost my sanity awhile ago with all of you! So, as a little thank you, I’m giving away two stencils! Winners will get to chose the stencil of their choice

Kid Tested, Mother Approved {Handmade by Britt}

August 28, 2010 By Nina @ Momma Go Round 41 Comments

Handmade is making a comeback, and Brittany is part of the reason why!

Let me introduce you to {Handmade by Britt}

Especially as a former teacher, I got so stinkin’ sick and tired of watching kids’ school supplies DIE in the middle of the year. Huge holes, busted seams, looking like a general hot mess. The worst part was, you know their parents spent a small fortune on X.

Brittany’s work is amazing! I am in awe not only of her adorable designs and fabric choices, but the quality of her work! Seriously, when my machine is up and running you best believe mine won’t be anything close to this good. Even better, her prices are totally reasonable!

She’s got everything you need for back to school: backpacks, insulated lunch boxes, crayon rolls, little artist cases, and sandwich bags!

Since my little budding artists is all into his crayons (and Cars), Brittany sent us the Cars crayon roll to give a go.

To quote Mater, LJ was “happier than a tornado in a trailer park” when he got his hands on it!

LJ’s current two favorite things (under Elmo of course) are coloring and Cars, so this seriously couldn’t be more perfect for him! He loved pulling all the crayons out…I loved that he could see when crayons were missing because not all the pockets were full.

LJ loved to investigate how it works.

I love that I can keep the thing shut!

I also love how small it rolls up!

Perfect to throw in my purse and take on the go!

Now YOU can win your very own crayon roll…you can even choose the pattern!

I’m Still Obsessed {The Royal Blossom}

August 28, 2010 By Nina @ Momma Go Round Leave a Comment

A while back (though it seems like a blogging eternity) I fell in love with knit hats for kids. I loved beanies, earflaps, brims, and all the loveliness that became my “I need one” obsession.

Only problem, it was March. By March in LA, certainly don’t need an adorable knit hat. So now that it’s back to school time (and I can hope for some cooler weather sometime soon!) I’m in the hunt for a fab new hat for LJ to sport.

Enter {The Royal Blossom}

Some of the cutest hats I’ve seen…I’m having too hard of a time choosing one!

Ink Free and FABULOUS {Cantaloupe Corner}

August 28, 2010 By Nina @ Momma Go Round 60 Comments

It’s back to school time (well, for many of you at least).

While the rest of you are jumping for joy, I’m missing getting ready for school. As a former teacher, I loved the new supplies, new clothes, and new ideas that came with each new year.

So while I quasi morn my not going back to school, I thought I would still enjoy my favorite part of back to school…the shopping!

Meet {Cantaloupe Corner}

Possibly some of the most adorably designed shirts out there, Cantaloupe Corner has quickly become one of my new fav Etsy shops!

Packed to the brim with awesome, hand-printed, ink free designs for baby, toddler….and even mom! Jenifer is a genius! She has everything from play shirts and onsies, to gift sets and some shirts I’m dying to get my hands on.

LJ put the Little Engineer shirt to the test!

Made from a super soft, nice and thick shirt, I loved it immediately. Especially with LJ’s super sensitive skin (have you seen how Casper my child is?) I worry about all the dyes and chemicals irritating his skin. With no ink or paint, I don’t have to worry about that.

Besides, LJ loves anything that moves, anything with noises, and if mommy can look like a dork going “chuga chuga choo choo” over and over, he’s game!
