layers {giveaway-a-day!}

Being a mom brings with it an element of unselfishness. I tend to worry more about my kids, their needs, their wardrobes long before I worry about mine. Every so often it is nice to be able to have something just for me. I think most moms would agree. Which is why today's giveaway is so fantastic! It is all about you. There's nothing for your kids or your significant other, only you. 

Layers has long been a favorite of mine. From their basics to their dresses you can't go wrong. Their clothes are comfortable and stylish and basically perfect for every mother. The clothes fit true to size and the styles and colors are brilliant, the prices reasonable, and we can't forget the incredible styling of the photos. 

Today Layers is giving away a $75 e-card. A shopping spree just for you, you can choose anything you like...

I think this cardigan would be at the top of my list... if only they could guarantee I'd look like the girl in the picture, life would be perfect.

What Layers style will you be adding to your cart?

see kai run {a-giveaway-a-day!}

I'm thrilled to start out our two week series with a company we all know and love. See Kai Run continues to add fresh new shoes to their line-up with each passing season. Every time the girls grow out of a pair there are plenty of new styles to choose from and narrowing it down is quite an effort. A big help is knowing that no matter what style I choose, the shoes will fit and wear well, and they have been awarded the American Podiatric Association's prestigious Seal of Acceptance. 

A recent addition to See Kai Run is their smaller line. They're perfect for your infant 0-18 months, where you'll find similar styles to the bigger kids, but made especially for baby feet.

Jake here is currently calling my name (or better yet the name of baby boy) they'll be the perfect addition to his wardrobe.

Today we're giving 2 winners their choice of any pair of See Kai Run shoes (a value of approx. $40). Which ones are at the top of your list?

holiday wreath.

I am completely taken with this wreath. I wish I'd seen it sooner and made one myself. It's made entirely from plastic bags, I can't wait for next year!

last minute gift ideas from kids.

My girls are working on these to give to their grandparents for Christmas. I am having them color pictures at the top. The calendar is a free download that you can print at home, mount on cardstock and use a jewel tone cd case turned inside out as a stand. The perfect desk calendar. Pattern found here.

I love this version of the handprint. Perfect for grandparents, aunts and uncles or yourself to document where they are this year. Instructions found here.

Or make your own custom silhouette. They are timeless and I can't think of anyone who wouldn't fall in love with these. Directions found here.

All these ideas and a great list of others found on the lovely craftpad blog.

Happy gift giving...
