5 Must-have Fashionable Pieces to Pack for Every Weekend Trip
Summer is coming and with summer, comes trips and points of interests to see. For some, weekends are enough of a getaway to recapture some quiet times, family times or even some romantic times. TwitterMoms and Gap have teamed up again to get us thinking and sharing some great ideas on five must-have fashionable pieces to pack for every weekend trip. You can join in the fun and maybe even win a $20 Gap Gift card by clicking here.
My five most favorite fashionable pieces include:
- Hair care products! I have to have my flat iron, my blow dryer, hair accessories as the hair makes the fashion.
- I now can't live without my Earth Footwear and Lizzie Lou Shoes. I wear the one for lots of walking where I can add in some bonus exercising and my cute, blingy Lizzie Lou Shoes to add that extra fashion statement.
- Shorts and capris are a must have as they pack lightly and usually don't wrinkle. The ones I have from the Gap are great in they wash nicely and can be packed and ready to go in no time.
- T-shirts and tanks are also easy to pack and require minimal space. If folded or rolled correctly, wrinkles are minimal.
- The final easy accessory is the little black dress. It's quick to pack, ready to go and easy to wear. If it's not too dressy, I can wear it with my Lizzie Lou Shoes and be comfortable for the night.
Whatever you have for easy, fashionable ways to travel, carefree, easy to wear, minimal wrinkles is the way to go!

Swimsuits for All Review & Contest
It's almost summer and it's time for that dreaded looking for a swimsuit time. We just went through that for our trip to Florida and it wasn't fun nor cheap. Today, I was looking around at swimsuit shops and found this great online store www.swimsuitsforall.com and they have an incredible selection from size 8 up and they won't break your bank account.
Look at how cute they are:
I received the Beach Belle Bubble Blooms (shown above) complimentary from Swimsuits for All. This great looking suit is of equal quality. I was very impressed with the material, the feel and how it fit on me. Many suits tend to run real small but this suit actually fit me and matched the size I am. I liked the support it provided and the tankini top allows you to sneak in some sun while you are laying out. I can't remember the last time that I found a suit that looked this great, felt this wonderful and fit me perfectly! Who doesn't like being able to buy a suit that isn't marked up to be two sizes than what you are?? Fit my ego perfectly!
Swimsuits for All is a great shop with a huge selection that fits such a wide array of sizes, very fashionable choices, high quality material and workmanship and excellent customer service. The way the website is set up, it also allows you to choose from type of suit you want to the top brands and those on sale. They really make it easy to choose from. Just since I've signed up, I've had a few great offers come through via my e-mail that makes my choice of Swimsuits for All easier when finding a suit.
More pro's:
I have not found any con's with Swimsuits for All and think the concept in providing so many suits for every woman (size 8 and above) is excellent. I also like the return policy and the wonderful customer service they provide.

Summer is coming and I know my kids can't wait as they love to go outside! Sometimes there just isn't anything they really want to do and simple things like playing with chalk is a great idea to let out their creativity. What about a way to not only get out their creativity but also get them moving and actually burning some calories? I love the concept behind Coursing Around. Coursing Around is a spiral bound, sturdy book with fun and innovative ideas to get kids outside, to encourage team work and most of all, get them moving!
It has 15 fun filled activities that involves chalk or other simple toys like a jump rope or a hula hoop. Children will have a chance to work on their motor skills, endurance, creativity and overall fitness level. Just look at my almost three year old leaping in the air as she plays one of the activities.

Here is another great thing about Coursing Around, it's only $14.95 plus tax and FREE shipping! I really liked the book in that it was durable and could be wiped off if it became dirty. The spiral bound allows for easier to use since you can flip back the book without worrying about it tearing from wear. The package comes with the book of 15 courses, 2 pieces of large chalk, a ruler on back for reference and fun fitness facts.
Debbie Beam-Tougas created Coursing Around. She has over 18 years of experience which included being a certified fitness specialist, an aerobics instructor, a personal trainer and a post exercise therapist. Her dream is that children of all sizes, shapes, gender and ethnicities will use Coursing Around to learn that exercising can be fun and accomplished in many ways.
I would recommend Coursing Around for anyone with kids as it's really a great way to get them involved and stay healthy. My children love it!

Hello World Clothing Company for Baby SmartZip Sleeper Giveaway 6/2 - CLOSED WINNER
CONGRATULATIONS TO....
KATHY PEASE!
An e-mail is being sent and Kathy has 48 hours to respond. Winner was chosen by random.org.
Thanks to all those who entered!
Here you have it new parents! A very convenient way to dress that wiggly little baby quickly and without inconveniencing your little sweetie. A great patent pending product is on the market to make those late nights easier or just changing the diaper at anytime better. If you have children, you know the pain of unzipping those pajamas and sometimes, almost prying out the little legs to get them through the holes. I remember the hassle of diapering and how it can really wake up a baby when you have to move them around just to change that middle of the night diaper. The SmartZip Sleeper will change all that as it zips at both ends!
Unzips at both ends? You don’t say…
Say Hello to the SmartZip® Sleeper, the first ever baby sleeper that unzips at both ends. It is no secret that you change your baby’s diaper from the bottom, so it makes sense to have a sleeper that allows you better, quicker access to the bottom half of your baby.
At Hello World® Clothing Company, their baby clothes are designed to make your kid the hippest baby in their nursery, and more importantly designed for you — the parent — to make your life easier.
There are two styles to choose from:
Blue and not even close to bashful, your handsome man will begin sharing his charm, long before he can talk. Every man’s dream of being adored by sight alone starts now. Handsome and smart? That’s your boy.
Made Me Blush Collection
Pink and brilliant, your little princess will begin making hearts melt with the sheer innocence we all know she possesses. Making you blush with every bat of an eye, before she even knows it gets her anywhere. Beautiful and smart? She is your daughter, after all.
Don't they look cozy, warm and snuggly enough to where you want to pick them up and love on them? Everytime I see a baby, it makes me want to have another one. Thank goodness my oldest is having one so I can spoil and love on him/her and give him back to her!
Here is how it works:
Hello World Clothing Company is also committed to help instill change which having a social responsibility makes a difference to me when choosing who to support.
The Amani Children’s Foundation
For every SmartZip Sleeper they sell on their website, Hello World® Clothing Company will donate one dollar to the Amani Children’s Foundation and New Life Home Trust.
“The Amani Children’s Foundation works to care for children in Kenya, particularly the most vulnerable of those children — the abandoned infants orphaned by AIDS in Africa. Parents are dying of AIDS and traditional extended family tribal structures can no longer care for them. The largest number of orphans the world has ever known now live in Africa. This challenge is of unprecedented proportion, 15 million orphans who are vulnerable to neglect, abuse, radical politics and to eventually getting AIDS themselves. Through their partner organization in Kenya, New Life Home Trust, Amani helps to care for homeless and HIV-positive babies in six homes across the country. The babies arrive at the home tiny, frail and often very sick, and by the time of their 2nd birthday, most of them have left with new adoptive Kenyan families. This group has been working since 1994 and has rescued more than 800 infants, and most of them have been adopted.” — excerpt from Amani website.
I'm also a fan because they are out of Indiana! Go Hoosiers!

One lucky reader will get their choice of the SmartZip Sleeper in pink or blue.

Do slipping straps, riding up backs, or not enough support have you ready to write a Dear John letter to your old bras? Apply for a Bra Makeover from Playtex! Seven out of 10 women are wearing the wrong size bra, which can result in an ill fit for the rest of their outfit, back and shoulder pain, as well as bruising and digging. I'm a guilty one as I the last time I was fitted, I didn't like seeing what my actual size was and continued to play denial with going down a size or two.
As a busy working mom, I don't have time to go back in for a fitting in spite of desperately needing to. Good news for us! Playtex recently launched www.PlaytexBraMakeover.com, a site where women can go to apply for a bra makeover or nominate a friend. If chosen, the winner will be flown to New York to receive a Bra Makeover with style expert Alison Deyette. Deyette is a fashion and trend lifestyle expert who has been featured on Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker and TLC's Ten Years Younger, as well as in print publications including Good Housekeeping, The Washington Post, and O Magazine.
Apply for your chance to win a Playtex Bra Makeover today. The last day to apply is Friday, May 21st, 2010.
The 10 winners selected for a Bra Makeover will also star in their very own webisode wherein a makeover candidate will receive a fitting with Deyette and walk away with the perfect Playtex products. A new webisode will premier on www.PlaytexBraMakeover.com every two weeks.
Real women have real bra problems, Playtex wants you to kiss those bra problems goodbye. Check out www.PlaytexBraMakeover.com for more information.
