{Milk and Cookie Party} Sponsor Welcome

So spring is upon us...Can you believe it? I certainly can't...but to help celebrate this glorious season (seriously...my favorite time of year!) I would like to welcome you to the Real Life Mom's newest sponsor....the Milk & Cookie Party.

Milk & Cookie Party is an adorable little Etsy shop run by a Real Life Mom and her Real Life Aunt. M&CP have been working for many years as appreciators and seamstresses and are just recent owners of their Etsy shop. Together, these two ladies have a love for great fabrics and design! They are super cool ladies too! The Real Life Aunt used to own a Bed & Breakfast and even two restaurants on top of creating and selling dresses! And don't forget the Real Life Mom....she is mom to a sweet little lady and is working on some Mother/Daughter designs right now. I don't know about you but I am a total sucker for Mommy & Daugther outfits! I seriously make sure Averee and I are always coordinated and never clashing....I mean what if there is a photo op....it would totally ruin the picture if we clashed (I usually have Ian coordinating too! But shhhh he doesn't know!!)

So without further a due here is a few of the things you can find over at the Milk & Cookie Party...

 

The Little Sister dress....as an avid photo enthusiast I think this would be ADORABLE for any photo shoot for the spring or summer....Hmmmm Av might need one of these!

 And this super cute Play Date Dress! Seriously...I heart this fabric...so bright and fun!

And how about the Rodeo Girl Dress?!? Serious cuteness is happening over at the Milk & Cookie Party! (And don't even get me started on those boots...In LOVE!)

These two ladies have some incredible items that are going to be heading to their shop soon! They are working on some fabulous diaper bags and purses and even on matching garments for American Girl dolls! I know a lot of little girls will love this!

And just in case you were thinking well hmmmm I don't know of a little girl who needs one of these adorable dresses right now (although I'm sure you can think of a sweet little lady who would love to receive one!) you should head on over to the Milk & Cookie Party blog where this duo shares some delicious cookie recipes, new items to their shop and even giveaways! (Which by the way they have one going on right now so go check it out!)

So lets help welcome the Milk & Cookie Party to the Real Life Mom with some serious RLM love and support this auntie and niece duo! Be sure to send photos of your sweet little girl wearing her M&CP apparel!

Today I am welcoming our newest sponsor, Magically Made, to The Real Life Mom! I am beyond excited!

For those of you who don't know I totally love Etsy! That is where I happened upon Magically Made.

It is a fantastic little shop with all things vinyl! I first came in contact with Kristen, owner of Magically Made, when I was searching for vinyl letting for Averee's room. I just love the look that vinyl letters give and love how when you are ready for something new you can easily take them down. When I first contacted Kristen I was hoping to create a custom order but instead I found her swirly rendition of Cinderella's famous song....."A dream is a wish your heart makes when you are fast asleep." Swoon!

Here it is in Averee's room....

Ummmm can you say Gorgeous!!!! It is so beautiful I have actually been asked if I hand painted this quote onto her wall! It really looks like someone did!

Kristen does an incredible job perfecting each and every piece. To top it off....she sends easy to follow, step by step instructions on how to adhere your letters and how to remove when you are ready (but seriously I don't think this is ever coming down!)

{Tinder Designs} Free Shipping!

Today I am featuring a fantastic Etsy site....Tinder Designs.

If you have not heard of Tinder Designs yet you are totally missing out!

It wasn't too long ago when I first happened upon Tinder Designs. It was shortly before Averee was sitting on her own and I knew it would be just a matter of time before I would need a cart cover to protect her from all those germies out there. I started searching at all those big name baby stores and although I found some... I wasn't totally satisfied with any of them. They were either cute but didn't cover all sides of the cart or totally not cute! And considering a lot of them were $40 + I felt that I should LOVE the cover 150%.

So I jumped on over to Etsy.com and to my surprise stumbled upon Tinder Designs. I was in LOVE. Jennifer, the owner who is also a Real Life Mom, has the most beautiful fabrics and her design is so practical! And with 100% positive feedback from over 1000 reviews I knew this was my place to shop! You should seriously read some of the feedback Jennifer has received so you can truly see what a great investment you are making!

Here are some of my favorites from her Etsy shop:

This is my favorite! You might ask why? Well it is the one that we own! And we couldn't be happier...we wanted something gender neutral yet still lots of fun! We receive soooo many compliments on this gorgeous cart cover!

If you haven't figured it out yet I heart damask!

So bright and fun!

This was one of my top picks but Ian insisted that the one we purchased was usable for a boy...Just in case.

LOVE! Can't you just see your little love bug riding around in style?

And check this adorable dress out? OMG Averee needs this...put it on my wish list!

If you don't have children yet or are considering this is a possible gift....I promise you when I say a cart  cover is a MUST HAVE!

Here are some of the reasons why I think you too will LOVE Tinder Designs:

• The Cute little pillow
• There's a pocket to hold all your baby "supplies"
• a toy loop...we frequently use this to strap the girl's drink to so that it doesn't fall
• Machine Washable! I have personally washed mine many many times and it comes out perfect each time! The batting that Jennifer uses not only makes the cart comfortable but it also stays in place when washed!
• It fits even the gigantic carts! and it can be used for highchairs, park swings and as Jennifer suggests even for a diaper change!
• It covers the cart on all sides helping to protect your wee one from those germs that their teething little mouths seem to be attracted too
• It ships very quickly! Jennifer's current estimated shipping time is 3-8 days.
• And finally it has its own safety belt and safety clip! Your child will have their very own "seat belt" that no other child has touched and you have a clip on the back that you can clip to your shopping cart to prevent your little monkey from climbing out!

You should also check out Jennifer's website Tinder Boutique . She features some custom boutique scarf's that are just gorgeous! Hmmm I should probably leave this page up so Ian sees how much I NEED one of these! She also creates some gorgeous apron's that all of us Real Life Mom's are really anyone who does anything in the kitchen could benefit from!

And to make things even better if you weren't already totally convinced to purchase from Tinder Designs....Jennifer is currently offering all Real Life Mom readers FREE Shipping! Simply mention that you saw Tinder Designs here on The Real Life Mom.

This is a great item to buy for yourself or to give as a gift....I'm thinking Christmas gift for a new mom, mommy to be or baby.....a perfect baby shower gift....or maybe just because!

You can even purchase a gift card from Jennifer if you are unsure of the design to pick for your gift to someone!

So head on over to Tinder Designs and let me know what you think! I would love to hear what your favorite pattern is!
