Childish Clothing Review

Childish Review

As I window shop through the great Internet I found a great company called Childish. Childish is such a great name for a company geared directly towards children. Childish has so many great fashions. Let me share a few of the ones that I loved.

The simple style that the company childish used to create the design of this great dress reminds you of the free style of days gone past. Just what a child needs to wear to have a great time in. Childish clothing company products include those adorable short little dresses and great icons such as a pink unicorn seems to allow the dress to make every day fun.

I also love the tees for boys that are available at childish. Childish serves both boys and girls and for both sexes childish clothing styles are great. With this tee Childish Clothing company allows a young man to wear the pride of his dad on his chest. What else would make a dad prouder than his little man proudly stating that his dad was his hero? Childish was generous enough to send my granddaughter some great items sh received a great dress that had a unicorn and a statement punk princess. Is that not cool! I love it and so did her momma.

Childish also sent us a great blanket that had the pattern of skulls on pink. Now what is punker than that? Cool let me tell you. The idea was to present the blanket and the dress to my granddaughter but that did not quite work out. This special blanket drew my daughters attention to it. So perhaps my granddaughter will receive the dress as planned but the blanket as cut as it is will go to my daughter as she heads off to college. After all she is still my baby LOL. Just goes to show you that the Childish company enough is cool enough to impress those that are young and those that think they rule the world.

So if you are looking for a great gift for a baby or toddler, boy or girl or a great gift check out Childish clothing. The Childish Clothing company has the coolest items available on the Internet in my opinion. Not only do they sell items for that young boy and girl but also for the momma to be. Childish clothing styles for maternity, the little princess or little prince will leave them looking cool and trendy. Both gifts that we received from the Childish Clothing company were great. The preppy rock star junior in your family would be very happy and impressed if you brought them home a present from the Childish Clothing Company. Perhaps the reason that the clothing line of Childish is because the creator is the great Skye Hoppus, a former MTV executive married to Mark Hoppus of blink 182 and +44 and mom to 5-year-old jack. Who else would you trust your rock star personality of a super star to?

Childish clothing company is a rather young company being created just a few years ago in 2003. But where Childish lacks in years of experience they make up in great styles, that allows you and your little ones to look classy. Just think what your children's friends will being saying about their new rock star appearance when they appear in their new Childish threads. The Childish Clothing company wish is to set a trend setting pace that creates a great appearance for those who wear them. You can find Childish Clothing internationally at fine boutiques and select department stores.

Alohoa Friday Feb 27

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

My question this week is:

because spring is on my mind I am thinking warm weather clothes here is my question:

If you wear shorts when will you place them back into your wardrobe?

at my house shorts stay in the wardrobe but are wore at night whenever the temps hit 70 degrees my teens will start to wear these outside and places they go. I will normally keep them for yard work and choose Capri's when I travel around town.

Thankful Thursday

The thankful Thursday meme is a great weekly meme where we can place into words our thoughts about what we are thankful for.

This past September I found out that the shop my husband and I shared would have to be shut down. I was so worried about him that I forgot about myself. Somehow while worried about everyone else I slipped into depression and lost hope in many things. The only constant was my Lord was always going to be there and from him I would gain my help. Well through these last few months I did find myself depending more on him but somehow while not fully knowing it started to close into a shell. Yes we got through Christmas, I think because the Lord was there and my mind was not full of doubt and gloom. Well, recently I visited the doctor and he is a great friend of mine and suggested that I am a bit depressed. I reckon I am, was and did not want to be anymore. He said he could place me on meds but if I wanted to try other ideas first he would wait. I decided to exercise, proper diet and to change my sleep habits. Guess what all has worked better and now as they say I can see through the rain. I want to list a few things I am thankful for.

As always I am thankful that the Lord was by my side and without him could of been totally lost.

I am thankful that my church home all though I totally turned my back on them loved me enough to welcome me back.

I am thankful that the friends that I neglected never gave up and are still as close as they always were.

I am thankful that my mom even as she ages still has great wisdom in that gray head of hers. Wisdom that can carry her kids through the worst of times

I am thankful for the blessing of a granddaughter that helped me to stay sane even as I slipped away.

I am thankful for my husband, children, brothers and sisters who helped me when it is me who often help them.

Thank you for all you bloggers out there who i have made friends with. When worrying about others I reckon we do neglect our selves but then blogging was an outlet for me and you all were there for me. Thank you.

for me thankful Thursday visit the blog Grace alone.

giveaway: Freckle box

The blog mudpies and maryjanes has reviewed a great online shop called frecklebox. This review on the mudpies and maryjanes also offers a giveaway where one lucky winner will recieve the winners choice of any frecklebox personalized item

thrifty thursday

Thrifty Thursday seems to pass down to everyday of the week at times and we learn to make new items all the time so that we can save money. One of the best tips that I have this week happens because even my mom can not believe my luck.

When buying meat be sure to check over all the product available. Twice while grocery shopping I have been able to find hamburger (1) for .98 a lb and (2) $1.05 a lb. I have also been able to find meat in one section at a better price than the same cut of meat in another section. This is great and has taught me to look through the meat section thoroughly before selecting.

For more thrifty thursday visit the household helpers.

Works For me wednesday

Around my house there are not allot of tempting snacks primarily because I am a diabetic and my son is too. So when given the chance to have a snack we will pick veggies, crackers or Jello. I thought I was rather cool and had taught myself a new cooking trick on how to make sure jello did not stick to the pan or come out with a gelled bottom. Turned out my mom already knew but for you who don't here it is

When preparing jello make sure that the hot water it calls for is boiling and mix as suggested on the box. Before pouring into mold or casserole which I use spray with a thin layer of cooking spray. Now that may be easy but let me tell you it took me a while to figure it out.

Perhaps that is why they are so great because a mothers love went into each of these darling clips.

Tuesday tradition

I found a new meme called Tuesday tradition. I started thinking about traditions and want to share one that has been going on for many years and will start very soon once again. In the spring and summer I take my children (all of them) on a walk and head to the nearest restaurant. Even when they were little they were allowed to buy what they wanted with their own money. I would give them $3 when they were younger for which they could get a sandwich and a drink and sometimes ice cream. Now it is more like $5 or $6 a child. It is always fun to go take a walk, talk and share. I loved it back in the day and now even when they are older I still love it

giveaways: tuesday

monday musings

Hold fast to dreamsFor if dreams dieLife is a broken-winged birdThat cannot fly.~ Langston Hughes ~

My qoute comes from Langston Hughes who was a poet in yesterdays era. I love the qoute because as we enter the true love waits ceremony at church dreams become an onquest for me. You see I was a teenage mommy who at a very young age lost all my dreams. My mother told me to get by I had to have dreams and goals or life would not be great. I made new goals and dreams and reached for them and now as I see my children graduate highschool and enter college I know that the reality of the world is still there but somehow my goals and dreams have helped my children to get through life

Does your little one love blankets? I can remember when our little one was little I had blankets on top of blankets. My granddaughter has many blankets of her own but when I saw this Go Blanket I knew that I had to have it for her. When I received the blanket I was in love. It was so soft and cuddly but it was different from other blankets as well. My daughter who travels allot with her little one always complained about not having anywhere to lay her daughter to change her. I think the Go Blanket will make this experience much better. The Go Blanket is meant just for traveling around.

One of the reasons that the Go Blanket is different than other blankets is because of the polarfleece it is made of. Polarfleece is ready to take on that abuse that young children can deal out. Punching, pulling, kicking and dragging will all be withstood by the polarfleece. In addition to being able to withstand abuse polarfleece is also the most breathable warmth that you can find in a blanket. For those times that are a bit cool the Go Blanket can be used to snuggle your little one in. Do you have those blankets that have been spilled on and worn and now do not smell the best? This wont be the case with the Go Blanket. Polarfleece doesn't retain water, break down in appearance, itch, or pick up odors. The Go Blanket is as dependable as your little one will become on it.

The toddler Go Blanket arrived to me in a mailable envelope and I had no idea by the weight that there was a blanket inside of it. The Go Blanket is not a heavy blanket which makes it even more appealing for me. Our Go Blanket was in the pattern of the animal crackers and as you can see the colors and animal shapes were great. There are many colors and patterns available for the Go Blanket.

Perhaps you do not have a little one and you think this product is not for you. Then I have to say to you what about taking a Go Blanket on a picnic to a picturesque scene like this.

So the next time you are looking to take a blanket on the go think of the Go Blanket.

elegant cheesecakes

While window shopping on the internet I came upon a wonderful site called elegant cheesecakes. First I must tell you all that my son in love is a first rate fan of cheesecake. Having it both at his wedding reception and wedding. It was as special as the wedding cake itself.

The pictures on this website itself are great and start your mouth to wattering. OH! what it would be like to take just a small bite of that cheesecake. Not only do they make cheesecakes but wedding cakes and birthday cakes as well. Can you imagine the happiness of that special reciever of a great cake like this.

My hopes is that one day I will be able to taste an elegant cheesecake for myself. As the price of these cheesecakes do not fall under the category of need since we lost our business all I can do is window shop. Window shopping is so much fun if you are needing a special cake for a special event or person check out the elegant cheesecake website. If you are just wanting to window shop as I do then no better place than the elegant cheesecake website.

Not Me Monday

Not Me Monday is a weekly meme that you can find over at the my charming kids website. It is about what you did or did not do in a reverse style of communication. So here is mine:

1. It was not me who beat my husband at cards over the weekend. It was not me who gloated about the fact. It is not me who normally loses because of not paying attention to the game. Since it is not me who is concentrating more on the kids and what they are saying and doing.

2. It was not me who went to church yesterday and found out that I love it. It is not this same church that I left because my teens were not happy. It was not me who looked for another church home to only go back to the church that we left and found home.

3. It was not me who helped cook supper in that same church kitchen for the youth group. It was not me who was seriously so happy to be there when I saw how excited my teens were. I truely have to say I came back home to where I belong.

4. It was not me who was sick to my stomach that I missed my nieces birthday. I would never try to avoid a great family get together where I did not know if an argument would ensue, no not me. It is not me who thinks that my family argues too much and that I find myself in the middle too much, no not me.

That is my top 4 not mes of this week. Please visit my charming kids website for more not me fun.

Little Miss Clips Review

I recently received 3 little miss clips and let me tell you they are darling. Little miss cips are so small and cute but hold so much style. My granddaughter is sure to sport these Little Miss Clips well. I inspected the Little Miss clips and they are well put together and style well. I have to say that little miss clips are some of the best put together clips that I have personally ever seen.

Because our family is into butterfly's for one reason or another at the present time we chose the butterfly little miss clip as one to be sent to us. I was a bit worried at first that the butterfly would come off and would get in the babies mouth. Well let me tell you, that butterfly is so snugly and tight on there that there is no possible way that that it will come off of this clip with normal use. That was another selling point for me. Yeah!!!!!! Little Miss Clip had passed the test again.

Since we think our little granddaughter Katelynn is a princess of course we had to have a Little Miss clip with a crown. But the next thought was would it stay in her hair. I can tell you that katelynn's mama was born with a full head of hair but by 6 months had lost it all. Katelynn had been born with a full head of hair and had kept it but now approaching 6 months old she was starting to shed a bit so her hair was a bit fine and I was worried about the clip staying in her hair. I read the little miss clip story and found out that the reason they were developed was because the creators daughter struggled to keep clips and barrettes in her own hair. Thus the little miss clip was developed as a need had developed.

Buy: Little Miss Clip is available in a wide arrange of colors and themes. Little Miss Clips are $4 a piece. A piece of mind when you know you are buying them and they will stay in your daughters hair. Many times we spend money and ten minutes later that product is no longer of use. What a great value Little Miss Clips are at $4 each and can be wore numerous times. Great!! So if buying a little gal a gift that you want to be sure she can use think of Little Miss Clips.
