Short Break

We have had a death in the family and will be having house guests this weekend so I won't be on to post new reviews. I may be able to get the Thirsties review up tomorrow and announce the Teething Bling winner, but I'm not promising anything... Thanks!

The winner of the Back40Life giveaway is comment #48, Mary! Congrats!

Before anyone gets crazy on me, I know the comment was anonymous, but she commented right after it with her info & mistake, and I just deleted the 2nd one and left the 1st one, so no one get your panties in a wad ;) ;) ;)

Bored Inc. Review & Giveaway

I love Bored Inc. They are so so so funny, and really have my sense of humor.

They have an awesome POO series.

And Wiener series bahahahaha

They carry purses, totes, jewelry, belts, shirts, onesies, stickers, buttons, wall decals, really cute greeting cards, and SO MUCH MORE.


Bored Inc. sent us some monster wall decals!!! Austin's nursery is almost complete! They sent me a pack of two and I begged asked my dad to buy the other set because there was only ONE LEFT! They both came in a cardboard packaging with the CUTEST drawings on them! I love seeing the time companies will take for their customers! I love cute little surprises :)

Okay here are the pics! Once again I called in the ranks, aka unwitting slave boy Christopher, to help me with the project!

Here's the little green man hanging out above the coat rack and monster bean bag chair!

Here's little blue dude down near the floor playing with Austin and his toys!

And this red guy was supposed to be a little lower and to the right. Grr. Still can't let it go... ;) But I rearranged the monsters and made it work... Notice there aren't any pics of Christopher putting it up, because I was doing something with Austin, and was not supervising the application of red guy.

And this orange fella is hanging out here to read with us in the reading area! See, he's raising his hand! He knows what the dog says, and what the kitten likes...

Cute right?! These decals are so perfect! I really really wish they were reusable, since we're just renting an apartment. Hopefully I'll be able to find them again if we ever move. But the more I find such great things to personalize our apartment (especially Austin's room!), the more like home it feels!

Head over to Bored Inc and check out there vast selection of really cute and funny swag!
Be sure to visit their Etsy Page for even more fabulous selections, check out their super cute blog, and "Like" their Facebook for great updates!

SmartMom Jewelry Review & Giveaway

When I was pregnant and started this blog I was introduced to the world of giveaways and reviews. These necklace giveaways were like THE THING when I started blogging. And there is a good reason why!


SmartMom Jewelry carries tons of Teething Bling, a MUST HAVE for moms with teething babies. How many times have you been caught without a proper teething toy, or have been disgusted when baby drops said teething toy on the nasty ground, or all you have is a finger (and I hear those things are SHARP!)? Probably A LOT.

Teething bling is the best of all worlds... It's stylish, it's around your neck so no dropping on the floor, and it's the same silicone that most teething toys are made from. Most people think it's glass when they see mine and are so surprised it's not. Cause I would let Austin chew glass... But the point is, it looks really great! The clasp on the necklace does pop open with enough force, so don't worry, baby won't choke you to death ;) It's especially fabulous for the baby wearing mamas because your munchkin has something to play with and nom on that isn't your real necklace, collar bone, or the carrier itself... Austin has had his mouth full of Beco!

In addition to the infamous necklaces, SmartMom Jewelry carries bangles! The bangle is my favorite. It is made of the same silicone and I LOVE IT. It's the perfect size for Austin's little hands and I feel comfortable letting him play with it without wearing it. Plus it's really cute and if I was ever caught out without Austin and in the bangle, I'd keep it on!

SmartMom carries Tween Bling which are SCENTED. They also have keychains (genius, since babies like keys so much), and gift sets with one necklace and 2 bangles (which will definitely save you some $, making one of the bangles almost free). The colors are endless, solids and patterns. Zebra, marble, chameleon, list goes on. Some of the Tween Bling and all of the keychains come in heart shapes! They even have some cute and funny onesies!

I received Jade and Cotton Candy Blue colors since I figured the colors would fit with my Boy Event, but I really wish I got Onyx. The black would have definitely gone much better with all of my outfits. And I'd kill for a hot pink bangle... I also would be HAPPY to wear the teething bling that has Chris Noth attached to it on their webpage... Yumm...


But whatever the color, I wear it anyway because it's cute and I like to mix & match anyways ;) And Austin doesn't care what color it is, he's just happy to have something to put in his mouth that I'm not constantly taking away (my hair for example....)

Here is vintage Austin a couple of months ago (he's so wittle!) with the Jade bangle!

SO are you ready for your teething bling? Visit SmartMom Jewelry to pick up your bling!
OR
Win a Jade necklace AND bangle here on Baby Bumble B!
