lylalous {giveaway!}

Today's giveaway has me all excited for spring and summer. I saw the pictures announcing LylaLous on a photography blog a couple weeks before the shop opened. I started checking back regularly, because I knew the girls were in serious need of these, and boy do they look adorable in them. The construction of these clips/headbands is hands down the best I have seen. The flowers are the perfect size, not too large to overpower, instead just the right size to make a statement.

One of the best things about LylaLous is the ability for heads of all shapes and sizes to wear them. So if you love your daughters headbands and clips, you can wear them too. They won't stretch out (they're metal) and you can make a statement of your own. Worried about the flowers being too girly, try their feather headband, the perfect accessory for a day at the park or a night out with your husband. It's that versatile.

While it's difficult to choose a favorite, I'm thrilled to tell you that TWO winners will be going home with a:

Lou Lou flower clip in yellow ($8) 

The perfect touch to a ponytail or bun! These adorable flower clips are lined with a velcro strip for a no-slip finish. Silk ranunculus flower with rhinestone center, with grosgrain covered single-prong metal alligator clip. Flower diameter: 3.75"

Turquoise & Hot Pink Ruthie Headband ($15)

Make an adorable statement with this fun accessory! These handmade headbands are comfortable enough to wear all day, and add the perfect touch. Silk daisy flower with rhinestone center with grosgrain covered thin metal headband. Flower diameter: 4.75"

rock a bib baby.

sleep, drool and rock 'n roll. We're right in the throes. I enjoy the rocking and rolling during the day and the sleeping during the night, we're getting there, but the closer we get to a "regular" schedule, the older Finn is and the drooling increases. Rock a Bib Baby has proven to be the perfect solution. Rather than ducks and trucks he's sporting bibs that are as stylish as the clothes underneath. 

Rock a Bibs feature cool rock inspired fabric designs backed with ultra-soft, absorbent white cotton chenille. Each bib is reversible and features an easy on/off front Velcro closure. They are great for drooling in style all day long.

They're absorbent, hip, last all day long and preserve the clothing underneath. Every baby deserves to drool in style.

Teacher appreciation week is the first full week in May. Add a little something extra to your apple before passing it along this year. What teacher wouldn't love a handmade apple jacket. They'll never have to eat a bruised apple again. Double bonus, they are adorable! 

we're off today.

We're off celebrating two very special birthdays today. Lily (5) and Stella (3). They almost share a birthday, only two days in between. Regular posting will resume tomorrow.







Happy Monday!

A Big Thank You!

A huge thank you! to Jenn Kirk for posting this last week. She's full of fabulous ideas and inspiration, we loved having you.

guest post: friday farewell

Thanks so much to Brittany for having me post this week!

And I know this is the goofiest picture to post of ones self, but this also known as keeping it real. Meaning, we are posing outside because our place is untidy. My oldest child is anti-authority, therefore, anti-pictures, therefore, probably clogging up our bathroom sink. My eyes are closed here because they are closed in most my pictures. My children are not wearing clothes, but still manage to look like absolute angels. This is us! (or, at least, half of us) So make sure to come by AmbrosiaGirl to say hello sometime!

1. Ecojot sketchbooks
2. Colored smencils
3. Crayon rocks
4. Watercolor paints
