Coco Bonbons – cute children’s clothing from a local Nashville company!

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Whenever I can, I really like to patronize local businesses in Nashville. As an entrepreneur myself, I know that running a small business is a lot of hard work. So when I got an email from my sister-in-law about a warehouse sale for Coco Bonbons, I went to see what cute things I could find for my cute little boy!

I was not dissapointed! My mom and I found lots of cute stuff for Will. This is amazing by itself as cute baby boy clothes are harder to find that cute little girl clothes. Here are a couple photos of my favorite purchase–a tan corduroy monkey jacket! I mean, how  adorable is the little monkey holding the banana with his tail on the back? And even the cuffs and collar of the jacket have little monkey details!  Of course, Will won’t be able to wear it until the fall, but I know he is going to love it. And at only $18, I love it, too!

Super cute and eco-friendly dog bed duvet covers

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

I was reading some other person’s blog this weekend (can’t for the life of me remember which!) and they were talking about this cool company called Molly Mutt. Now besides having a cute name, I was really impressed with their idea: take a dog duvet cover and a “stuff sack” and stuff it with old clothes, sheets, etc to make a brand new dog bed. You can also use an older dog bed and recover it with one of their duvet covers. Not only are you saving $$$, but you are also helping the environment by recycling. How cool is that? They range in price from $20-40 – way cheaper than buying a brand new fashionable dog bed.

Plus, with 2 inside doggies, a baby AND a husband, I do a LOT of laundry. I love that I could just take the duvet cover off the bed and toss it into the wash. That just makes my life a lot simpler AND cleaner.

Not only does those duvets covers help save $, landfills, and time, but they are also really cute! My favorite patterns are the “Perfect Afternoon” and “Your Hand in Mine”.

I haven’t purchased one yet, but I will be sure to update everyone as soon as I do. Do these cute dog bed duvet covers sound cool to you, too? Check them out at www.mollymutt.com!

Fun website to find baby items at great prices

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

It seems like most of my posts have been regarding sad news about my dog, so on to fun things that will make you smile!

One of my favorite emails I get in my inbox everyday is from www.BabySteals.com. They send an email each day with one item that is deeply discounted. Today was some really cool baby toiletries that were 50% off, but they have a little bit of everything…all at discounted prices!

Woohoo = )
