Little Sofie's Boutique: Vintage Train Shirt Review

Cade's 3rd Birthday Bash!

 

About Little Sofie's Boutique
Little Sofie's Boutique offers many different and awesome vintage t-shirts, such as, vintage circus t-shirts and onesies as well as tutus, a ton of graphic tees and onesies for boys and boys, dresses for toddler girls with imaging on the chest as well as cute little ruffled tulle skirts, adorable shirt and matching tutu outfits and jewelry! 

Vintage Train Tshirt

  When it comes to the amazing vintage tshirts from Little Sofie's Boutique, Yulia does not use vintage greeting cards so you wont see any cropped head or back on her designs. Almost all of her designs are created by her. She takes her time to put each design together, they are not just simply copied and pasted. All designs are put directly onto the garment using Eco Safe Fabric Pigment Inks, then the shirt is pressed to set the ink. Due to Yulia going through this process the images will not peel, fade or crack. All garments are 100% cotton.
 
Cade also LOVES trains, he wore his new Vintage Train tshirt to the park yesterday and on our walk. The little stinker was still trying to get out of having his picture taken, but I did get a picture where you can sort of see the train. At least before he some how kept spilling red juice on his light blue shirt. 


This shirt fits him very nicely. It was about 80 degrees when we went on our walk and played at the park. He is a sweat monster, but did not sweat in this shirt despite all of the running around he did and he walked for most of our walk. He seemed very cool and comfortable in this 100% cotton tshirt. 

Be sure to check out more of Yulia's awesome Vintage Designs, so many awesome and bright designs, this shirt is sort of plain compared to her other shirts. You'll be able to find something at Little Sofie's Boutique for the entire family!

Ellison's Organics: Firetruck Soap Review & Giveaway!

Cade's 3rd Birthday Bash!

All products are carefully formulated wiht the finest of ingredients to cleanse, nourish and pamper your body and home. 

  Carleigh uses organic essential oils, organic base oils (like organic coconut oil, organic unrefined shea butter and organic mango butter), as well as natural colorants with every opportunity! Despite her efforts of trying to only use organic ingredients some products are just not available in a certified organic form, but in those cases she will always use the closest-to-nature products available to her.

With that taken into consideration, you can definitely rest assured that all purchases from Ellison's Organics will help protect yourself as well as your family and friends from those harsh chemicals and additives that are predominant in the mass market today. Also, all ingredients are made in the USA, so you'll be supporting several US based small businesses with every purchase.

Ellison's Organic Story
 Carleigh and her husband have two handsome little men, Elliott and Harrison. Along with the birth of their second child Harrison, Ellison's Organics was born as well! Carleigh realized that she cared about not being able to pronounce most of the ingredients on the back of the bath wash bottle, so she decided she'd better do something about it. So she created Ellison's Organics to ensure that the things she was putting on her the skin of her often messy boys was going to do more for good for them than it would harm. She began searching and researching to find the most natural, finest and organic ingredients out there to create Ellison's Organics with. She was very pleased to find ingredients that she understood, such as, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Almond Oil as well as Coconut Oil. they were all safe and even beneficial for our bodies as well as sounding delicious.

 Organic Firetruck Soap

 How awesome! Organic unscented Firetruck soap and it actually looks like a Firetruck! Ellison's Organics firetruck soaps are unscented and can be made in a variety of colors, but of course they are usually made in red. They weigh about 2 ounces and are about 4 inches long, they are also shrink-wrapped.

Cade loves his firetruck soap! We are potty training when he is up for it, forcing wont help him potty train any soon, however back to my point. When he does use the potty then he washes his hands with his new firetruck soap. He also uses his firetruck soap in the bath tub and because loves for his hands to be clean I have a feeling I'll be purchasing more of these awesome firetruck soaps very soon! Before we had this soap he would ask for a baby wipe or napkin after each cheesy piece of food he ate or other type of food that would leave stuff on his fingers or leave them sticky. Literally after every piece! Now that we have this firetruck soap in our bathroom he runs into the bathroom to wash his hands very often! The soap does get his hands nice and clean and he is satisified with the cleaning ability of this soap. When he would ask for a wipe I'd have to wipe his hands many time before they were clean enough for him to go back to eating. 

Meltaway Lip Balm

 Ellison's Organics Meltaway Lip Balm provides soothing, moisturizing and smooth lip balm that is specially formulated to penetrate your skin quickly, leaving nothing behind except for healing and moisture. This is awesome for kids as it contains no chemicals, additives or scents!

Carleigh uses three powerhouse ingredients to create her awesome Meltaway balm, these ingredients are a combination of Organic Unrefined Shea Butter, Natural Pure Beeswax and Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. 

This lip balm is also available in a handy slid tin and can be used for soothing dry lips, elbows and cracked heels. Due to the nature of this balm and the fact that it does not contain any preservatives it should be stored in a cool and dry place, like a nightstand, drawer, purse, etc. It should not be left in car as it could melt, it may also melt in your pocket due to your body heat. It lasts for about six months, but I don't see how you could not have used it all before then. Each tube contains about .15 ounces of lip balm.

I'm not big on chap sticks, carmex or other mass produced lip products, but I love this Meltaway Lip Balm from Ellison's Organics! It does not need to be applied every five minutes like other lip products and it does not dry out your lips. I've used this lip balm for myself as well as on Ezio, my one and half year old. Jedilynn, my 7 year old daughter has also used this lip balm and tried to hide it from me because she wanted it to be hers and didn't want me to use it all!

Rachel Burton Design: Rolly Polly Fabric Ball Review & Giveaway!

Cade's 3rd Birthday Bash!
 

About Rachel Burton Design
Rachel Burton Design is full of encouraged adventures and imagination is mandatory! She uses natural materials that go through rigorous processes of manipulation to create pieces that come out quilted, colorful, handmade, comforting, functional, pieced and loved! 

Rolly Polly!

The Rolly Pollies come in an awesome handmade canvas bag with a drawstring tie and little fabric spikes along the sides. 
 
  
The Rolly Polly fabric balls are made by hand and measure 30 in around. They are stuffed with kapok, which is a fine fibrous cotton like substance that grows around the seeds of the ceiba tree. It is often used for stuffing cushions, soft toys and much more. The outer is made with cotton fabric that Rachel hand manipulates and hand pieced together for a tactile effect.

Cade loves playing with balls and was so excited when he opened the bag and seen this awesome tactile fabric ball inside the bag. The sail boat fabric on it was an added bonus as he loves any and all modes of transportation. This fabric ball does not bounce, but I love that factor! Usually balls end up bouncing into the tv or other breakable things. He loves tossing this ball around and I feel it is a fairly safe indoor ball as well as a great outdoor ball. He usually tosses balls around in the kitchen and dinning room. I managed to get a picture of him! 


He was having so much fun playing with his Rolly Polly from Rachel Burton Design!

Heads Up Designs: Blue's Clues Tshirt Review & Giveaway!

Cade's 3rd Birthday Bash! 

Heads Up Designs! 
 Heads Up Designs creates adorable homemade, heat transfer vinyl shirts. If your looking for a design that you don't see in Kim's shop, just send her a message and she'll work something out with you! 


Cade is a HUGE Blue's Clues fan, but it's so hard to find things with Blue's Clues that don't cost an arm and a leg! I was ecstatic when I found the Blue's Clues t-shirt (ARV$14.95) at Heads Up Designs! 

This Blue's Clues shirt is absolutely awesome! I really wish Cade wasn't in a photo strike mode right now, it looks even cuter on him, I promise I will update soon with a photo of him wearing it. I know he loves the shirt because my grandma stopped by while he was wearing it and he HAD to show Granny his new Blue's Clues shirt. The shirt is super soft and the vinyl transfer is great! No flaws and I can tell that it is a great quality vinyl transfer, unlike others we have bought for him that don't last past a few washes. This shirt has already been washed twice, once when we first received it because he has super sensitive skin and eczema so I like to wash all new clothing before putting it on him. Also, washed a second time after he wore this shirt. It seems to become even softer with washes, which is also a plus because we've bought shirts that seem to become more rough feeling after being washed. Weird hey?  

UPDATE! 6/18/13
He wore his Blue's Clues shirt again today and I managed to get a couple photos of him wearing it! 



Such a cheesy smile, quite literally actually! He had just finished his cheesy puff snack.

Baby Duds Boutique: Personalized Baseball Cap Review & Giveaway!

Cade's 3rd Birthday Bash! 
 

About Baby Duds Boutique
Baby Duds Boutique offers a variety of items from Personalized Baseball Caps, bibs and burp cloths, monogrammed diaper covers/bloomers, dresses, onesies and tshirts as well as bags, purses and totes. You can find something for everyone at Baby Duds Boutique.

Toddler Baseball Cap

Cade received a Toddler Personalized Green Tractor Embroidered Baseball Cap from Baby Duds Boutique. This unique boys baseball cap is a low profile, unconstructed cap. You can customize it with custom embroidery of a Green and Yellow Tractor that is very John Deere like as well as your child's name. These hats are available in infants and toddler, infnats fits up to 1 year old and the toddler fits over 1 year old. Both sizes can be adjusted with the velcro strap on the back of the hat. 

Cade has a fairly small or maybe just a normal size head, I got him the toddler size and the velcro closure in the back is closed to a pretty small size, leaving plenty of room to grow and many years of wear! Cade is 3 years old and could have probably fit in the infant size. His head seems really small to me because Jedilynn has a large head or as family call her "George Lopez head". Doesn't hurt her feelings she will even tell you she has a George Lopez head. 

Cade wore his Tractor Baseball Cap at his Birthday Party, Christopher and Papa were also wearing Baseball Caps, thankfully other wise Cade would have had to find a hat similar to whatever other style they would have been wearing. He really likes his Tractor hat and it fits him great! 


Cade loves to wear hats, loves the color green and he also loves all modes of transportation so this hat is three of his favorite things all in one! The great fit he gets with this hat allows him to be able to see as well, some of his other baseball caps end up covering his eyes. 


He is such a goof when he is wearing hats, sometimes he has them pushed up on his head really far back like he does in the above photo.
