Sweet and Cozy R&G

Have I ever told you how much I love handmade things? I love knowing who made the item and the care that went into it. Thats why I love Sweet and Cozy so much. She has such a lovely shop where she makes all kinds of goodies. She makes blankets, pillows, stuffed little friends, banners and more! She makes everything herself. She loves what she does and takes her time doing it so that the product is the best quality! Here are a few of my favorites from her shop although all her things are so cute!

Isnt this little pillow so adorable? Low the little bunting and owl on there.

Love this quilt. The colors are marvelous!

Felt Wittle owl so darlin!

Do you have an Elmo lover? Adorable little toddler pillow

Sweet and Cozy was so kind and sent this adorable pillow for me to review. I love it. Love the colors. So vibrant and bright. Plus it has an adorable little owl on there. I may add it to Presleys nursery. The pillow is so well made. Every stitch is in the right spot and is top quality. Her shipping time was amazing as well. She is in Israel  but it didnt take anytime to get here. She was excellent to work with.

Because Sweet and Cozy is in Israel we thought it would be best if she shipped the giveaway item along with the pillow so that it wouldnt take as long to get to the recipent. So the winner of this giveaway will receive this bunting banner! Let me just tell you...It is adorable in person. Even more so than the pictures describe. This would be perfect for a party or just decoration in a room.

What a Weekend!!!

How was everyone Memorial Day weekend? Ours was amazing!!!! Every Memorial Day, The hubby and I go to Atlanta for the biggest and longest running Camaro/Firebird Car Show and Gathering AKA F-Body Gathering. Its always fun and its nice to just get out of town for a few days. We headed down on Friday and intended to just stay one night and would just leave Saturday night and drive back down on Sunday. Once we got there, we quickly realized that it would prob be cheaper to just stay another night rather than going home and coming back with the price of gas these day. The boys absolutely had a blast Saturday night. They stayed in the pool really late and passed out very quickly once we got back to the room.
Sunday we stayed down there for a while until after the awards. We got a call telling us that Presley was very sick. Has slept all day. Wont eat/drink. Vomiting and Fever. She apparently had a stomach virus but is better now. However, Parker has been sick since yesterday and has thrown up several times and just feels horrible! Yesterday, Monday Memorial Day, we went to my mothers for a while to have a cookout but didnt stay long since Park wasnt feeling well. That is what we did this weekend. Other than the sickness it was good!! How was yours?

**Please remember several giveaways are ending today and new ones will be posted soon. Please check back often!!! Also if you are new here from FMBT!!! Welcome!!! Always good to have new followers. I will try to follow you all back as soon as I can. Things are crazy around here right now!

Baby My Love R&G

Oh how I love sweet baby blankets and lovies. I love how sweet babies are when they are all wrapped up in a warm snuggly blanket. I guess that is why I love Baby My Love so much. This shop is so amazing. You can find anything from blankies, loveys, bibs, nursing covers, Boppy covers and cute little baby hats. But I think this is the best reason to buy from this shop... In her own words...

In 2009 I lost my fourth baby unexpectantly on the day of her birth. Little Miriam Rose was taken from us too quickly, but in her memory we donate to our local hospital. So for every blanket sold, I will be donating to the hospital to share with other babies.

How amazing is Sharon of Baby My Love? Here are a few things from her shop that I just adore!!

Ya'll know how much I love owls and this my friends is AMAZING!

How sweet is this lovey?

Adorable baby hats!

She has o-so-sweet baby sets.

How stinkin cute is this. Would be a perfect shower gift!

Baby My Love sent me an adorable blanket to review. I love it. The colors are so vibrant and lovely. Its so well made. I cant wait to see Baby Brooklyn all wrapped up in it. This is my sister in law Crystal (Baby Brooklyn's Mommy)  holding it up for the world to see. This was taken at the gender reveal party that I had for them. Everyone loved the blanket. If you love Baby My Love as much as me, you should totally get one of her blankets, plus she will donate one to her hospital!!!! Go check them out!!!!

Baby My Love is so generous and will be offering Magical Memories followers the chance to win a Lovey size blanket and matching bib. The fabric is the same as I was sent so its gender neutral!!!

Gender Reveal Party

So ya'll know I had a gender reveal party for my brother and his wife who are expecting a third child. They have two boys, Bryson and Connor. I went to the doctor with them on Friday and boy was Baby stubborn!!!! The doctor tried for a good 10 minutes to get baby to turn but it wouldnt until the last second and we got to see its parts. So the party was on Sat. It was hard for us all to keep the secret. I stayed up late Friday night baking the cake for the party. We just had a small get to gether with close family. We had dinner and cake. The inside of the cake was the gender color of baby. If a boy the name of Anderson, and girl Brooklyn. Here are a few pics I snapped. I was a BAD picture taker. Its hard to take pictures and entertain!!!

The cake. Took to tubs of icing to cover the color lol.

The grandmothers cut it at the same time.

The woman in the pink is Crystal(my sil)'s mom. She has 4 grandsons and NO granddaughters...until NOW!!!

Connor was happy about having a sister!

Little Brooklyn Virginia-Grace will be joining our family in the fall!!!

We are over the moon!!! And someone will get a lot of use out of Presley Kates clothes lol.
