Simply Stated Creative

Who's tired of mass produced, cookie-cutter holiday cards??? *Raises Hand.

Well, the Jones family down the street will be super jealous of your Vintage Chic Custom Photo Holiday cards from Simply Stated. Totally customizable from the font, image, photo and text to (this is the cool part) the finish!!! No shiny cards coming out of your house! (Unless you want them to be shiny, that is) These cards put a fresh spin on Holiday Greetings- and its about time!

Envelopes are included, and they come in packs of 25. You should get some and send us one :)

Speaking of the holidays--Who's going to give the most amazing stocking stuffers this christmas? You! Simply Stated has fantastic Photo Boxes take up to 10 of your favorite photos and turn them into HANDMADE origami boxes. Thats ridiculous talent if I've ever seen it.

Just think of the elastic watch you're giving your MIL- pop it in an adorable box with your kiddos face on it and she won't even care her gift came from the dollar store. Just kidding..or am I?

Seriously though- think of the possibilities. Where does the tooth fairy keep all those teeth? In an acid and lignin free box with your daughters toothless grin on it. Where is the best place for the lockets from a First Haircut? In a 3x3 box made from a photo from that day. You could also just display them as 3-D art. Simply adorable. Check out their personalization options...color, B&W, sepia, tiled, etc. Cute and useful has never been so affordable!

If your little person LOVES dinosaurs (or if you just like to pretend your 1 year old likes dinosaurs...like yours truly)- these are the perfect invitations for their Pre-Historic bash. Fully customizable from photo to font these Dino-Mite photo invitations are too fun NOT to send. I'll bet you could even make them into thank you notes, baby shower invitations, change of address cards, etc. Beautiful quality printing in 5x7 size...your order has the envelopes included. The possibilities are endless for these adorable..I mean "manly" Dino invites.

Since I never leave a website without reading the "About Us" page- I just wanted to point out that this is a MOM who makes these gorgeous creations. A mom who was inspired, wanted something different for her little ones and decided to share her talents with the rest of us. That alone is a reason to shop with her-not to mention how incredibly sweet her stuff is!

Sole Mate

It's refreshing to find an online boutique specializing in something other than babies, diapers, and greeting cards. Although I do love for shop for all of those things online.

Sole Mate was brought to my attention. I love the style Sole Mate brings to its shoppers. Not only that, but I love the fact that they bring the style for not a lot of cash! They have some great accessories at great prices.

If you are a Nanny Deprived mom, and you need a little sprucing up but don't dare pack up your kids to go to the mall, then this may very well be a shop for you!


Take these green heels for example. They are fun, stylish and a great shade of green! Plus, they are only priced at $28.00! You can't beat that.


These darling flip flops are also super cute and affordable. The turquoise sandals are a personal favorite of mine! For just $18.00 a pair, you can afford a few pair.


Finally, this adorable multi bangle bracelets is fun and flirty either one by one or all together. It can liven up any outfit for a fun night on the town.

Take a stroll on over to Sole Mate and browse around for some fun and affordable fashions!

Little Monkey Store

I tried. I really tried.

I tried to be a great mom and use cloth diapers. I did some preliminary research, visited a friend who used cloth, and bought a few kinds of diapers. And that's when I realized, I'm just really bad at keeping up with the laundry. I failed at cloth diapering.

This little Monkey store is so darn cute, it could almost make me want to try again! They have so much information about diapering and the right kinds of diapers. Their Cloth Diapering 101 section was a great wealth of knowledge for under diaper educated moms like me.

The Little Monkey gives discounts for larger orders and they also have a points reward program. The more you shop, the more you save. It's a perfect cloth diaper store.

While visiting the site, I really fell back in love with the idea of cloth diapering. I just love how cute they look on my daughter's bum. I think if I went back to it, I would try the bum genius cloth diapers because they are one-size cloth diapers. I feel like my money would be well spent with them. I also love the amount of information the Little Monkey Store gives with each product.

The Little Monkey Store also has some cute reusable cloth swimming diapers. Swim diapers can get expensive. Especially if you are like me and try to wear your kids out by hitting the pool daily. These cloth swim diapers are totally on my list for the summer.

The Little Monkey Store has adorable Nifty Nappys which are fitted diapers. I learned that fitted diapers are cloth diapers that can be used no matter what size your little one is. They should be the only diaper needed until you potty train! They also fit more closely, reducing the bulge like disposable diapers can cause.

If you have no clue, think you can't do it, or you are a pro already, this is the store for you for all of your cloth diapering needs!

The REAL Housemommies

Are there any other REAL HOUSEWIVES annoyed at the portrayal of the TV Shows "REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ..."? I am. I understand the people they choose to go on those shows are chosen for their elegant lifestyles and the fact that they are likely to fight with one another but come on! Who lives like that? Not me.

A fabulous blog has been brought to my attention. It's fun, has lots of great conversations and you can learn a lot from a quick browse around. And it is REAL Housemommies talk. It has interesting topics that normal mommies can relate to. There are great recipes, reviews, looks at other websites relating to moms etc. It's fun, quick and easy. The way mommyhood is. Except maybe the easy.
