Happy Easter, Love MCO


Photo Credits: Wallpaperhdfree.com

Hello my lovely readers! I want to personally wish you all a very Happy Easter! Our Easter started on Friday when Grandma and Grandpa came into town! We were all so excited, especially Baby A! On Saturday we went to a big Easter Egg Hunt at a local farm and Baby A absolutely loved it! He knew exactly what to do thanks to me and Grandma setting up a mock Easter Egg Hunt in the toy room on Friday night. We were thankful that the farm allowed us to participate in the egg hunt without paying for Baby A, they were very understanding that A) He probably wouldn't completely know what to do anyway, and B) He isn't allowed to have candy! Baby A had lots of fun putting eggs into his basket and taking them out as I watched proudly snapping way to many pictures!







Later that night (Saturday) we were all so exhausted that Baby A went to bed at 6:00PM leaving the adults with lots of visiting time. Little L and I had some special mommy doggy bonding time and played tug of war with her favorite purple toy while Mrs. Bow Jangles passed out by the oversized chair. 


After dinner I walked back into the living room and discovered that the Easter Bunny had stopped by! Clever little bunny that one. She left an amazing basket full of coloring crayons, a coloring book, bucket and shovel, an extra big shovel, water shoes, socks, a fuzzy bunny, a Mickey Mouse watering can, and eggs filled with boxes of raisins, Hot Wheels, and more crayons. She was even thoughtful enough to leave mommy a chocolate bunny! 


When Baby A woke up he was a little confused as to why there were eggs on the floor and immediately picked them up and put them into his egg hunting basket, then he sat down in front of the basket that the Easter Bunny left for him and started tearing through it. Needless to say, it was a success


So far today we've celebrated Easter by making some deviled eggs, which were delish if I do say so myself, we set up Baby A's new pool and had lots of fun splashing in the water and making a big ol' muddy mess of the tarp, and we even went to the store to get some beautiful flowers to plant and some tasty strawberries!! Tonight we will go out to a Chinese Food dinner and hopefully get to be early! The Easter Bunny Mom is pretty dang tired today!




From my family to yours, Happy Easter!

Sew Red Review & Giveaway


For Christmas last year, I was so excited when my mom bought me my first ever sewing machine! I couldn't wait for it to arrive and when I did I was so excited to teach myself how to sew. I've done a few projects since receiving it, but I will admit that they weren't exactly amazing. I've been so busy with the blog lately that I've hardly had time to sit down and get back into learning how to sew, but thanks to Jimmy Beans Wool's new book, Sew Red, I am now inspired to pick up some fabric and sit in front of the sewing machine!

*I received a complimentary copy of Sew Red for review in exchange of my honest thoughts and opinions*

Did you know that heart disease is the #1 killer of women? Sew Red is written by Laura Zander and is the follow up to her first book Knit Red. Both of Laura Zanders books are apart of the Stitch Red campaign and are centered around supporting and fighting for women's heart health. Sew Red features sewing and quilting projects that all have the same theme- Red! Along with finding amazing and gorgeous sewing and quilting ideas, you will also come across touching personal stories of the designers various personal experiences with heart disease, tips to staying healthy, and even recipes! 

According to Laura Zander, the author of Sew Red, “Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States. With Sew Red, we wanted to create another book to help draw attention to this deadly illness, educate women about their risks, and empower them to lead healthier lives. We are thrilled to have the support of such an amazing lineup of designers in this gorgeous book, which celebrates women and their heart health.” 


The first thing that you will notice when you open Sew Red
is the amazing table of contents! You will easily be able to choose a craft project that you based on which of the photos catches your eye! Sew Red features designers Amy Butler, Aneela Hoey, Anna Cohen, Anna Griffin, Anna Maria Horner, Brett Bara, David Butler, Denyse Schmidt, Ellen March, Kaari Meng, Jenean Morrison, Kay Whitt, Kristen Ashbaugh-Helmreich, Linda Lee, Marcia Harmening, Mark Cesarik, Me & My Sister Designs, Nancy Zieman, Patty Young, Saremy Duffy, Suede, Sweetwater, The Kaffe Fassett Collective, Tula Pink, Ty Pennington, V & Co., and Valori Wells.


Sew Red includes detailed instructions on how to create your project and has photos of the finished product for you to base your work off of. The instruction pages are divided into five sections - Finished Dimensions  Fabric, Supplies, Cutting the Fabric, and Sewing Instructions. Each section tells you in detail what you will need or what to do during your project. There are also instructional photos that you can/will refer to while reading the instructions. Also included on the projects instruction page is information about the items designer and their personal story and tips about about heart disease. 


Below are two of my favorite projects that Sew Red Features! I LOVE the "Buttoned Up" place mats which is on my to do list on making next and an absolutely stunning petal dress that features a low cut back! That dress is a must have, I better learn how to sew like a pro quickly!


As an added bonus, Sew Red includes a pocket in the pack that has various sewing patterns! Sew Red makes it easy for you to literally start on your new project the second you get your mind set to it! 


If you love to sew, or aspire to learn to sew like the pro's like I do, Sew Red is a must own book full of gorgeous ideas whether you're looking to make clothing or place mats, backpacks or jewelry  Sew Red has the cutest idea's to make for yourself or for a friend! 

To Purchase: Visit Jimmy Beans Wool and grab a copy of Sew Red for $22.95! Best of all, 5% of proceeds go back to the Foundation of National of Health in support of The Heart Truth and women's heart health education and research!

Disney Junior's Choo Choo Soul CD Review & Giveaway!

One thing that you may already know about me is that I am a huge, HUGE, fan of Disney. Disney Junior has become an early morning ritual for Baby A and I to enjoy our hot beverages (him- milk, me- coffee) and take a little time for ourselves to wake up. Whether it be Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Sofia the First, Chuggington, or Doc McStuffins, I could pretty much sing along with every shows theme song. I'm not saying that we spend hours upon hours in front of the TV, but lets face it, Disney Junior songs are catchy!

*I received a complimentary Choo-Choo Soul CD for review in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions*

There are some mornings when Baby A and I get lucky and catch the Choo-Choo Soul music video that usually comes on between shows. Baby A always stops doing whatever he may be doing when the tell tale sound of "Chugga, PSSH, Chugga, PSSH, Chugga Chugga, PSSH, Chugga Chugga PSSH" comes on the TV and automatically starts dancing. He LOVES Choo-Choo Soul. Okay, I'll admit, I sort of love it too. It's upbeat! 


When I had the opportunity to review Disney Junior's Choo-Choo Soul Album I was over the moon excited. I have always been a huge fan of Disney music and actually own a few Disney CD's for Baby A (and myself) to enjoy! The Choo-Choo Soul album includes current Disney favorite's such as Under the Sea and When You Wish Upon a Star. What is great about Choo-Choo Soul is that it gives a new spin on the songs and makes it so you'll catch yourself turning up the radio and singing along. 

In case you're not sure on what Choo-Choo Soul is, Choo-Choo Soul is a Disney Junior entertainment act composed of singer Genevieve Goings and her partner "DC", a dancer and beat boxer who always appears in the Choo-Choo Soul videos as the train conductor! Together these two create a musical sensation for little ones to get up and move their little booties.



The Choo-Choo Soul CD is a 12 track album that includes several songs that you will recognize from classic Disney movies as well as songs from more modern Disney movies and Disney Junior features. The 12 tracks on the album are as follows:
  1. Hakuna Matata
  2. Under the Sea
  3. The Bare Necessities
  4. Give a Little Whistle
  5. When Will My Life Begin
  6. Supercalifragillisticexpialidocious
  7. A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes
  8. Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah
  9. Bibbidi Bobbidi Doo
  10. Let's Go Fly a Kite
  11. Be Our Guest
  12. When You Wish Upon a Star




I absolutely LOVE the Choo-Choo Soul CD and find myself singing along to every song, getting songs stuck in my head, and I even caught myself turning it up when Baby A wasn't in the car! This CD is awesome and should be in the CD player of your car, ASAP! The only thing I was a little bummed about was that none of the songs started out with Baby A's favorite "Chugga, PSSH"! It was a little dissappointing at first but we quickly got over it and love singing along with this CD in the car! Below is the Give a Little Whistle Music Video for you to preview the CD!



To Purchase: Visit Amazon or Walmart and grab your copy for only $10!

But guys, seriously, you didn't think I'd let you leave this review without giving away a copy of my Baby A's new favorite CD did I? Well guess what, it gets better. 

Disney Junior wants to give not one, not two, but THREE Lucky winners autographed copies of the Choo-Choo Soul Album! Additionally, one of the three lucky winners (chosen at random) will also receive an autographed photo included with their CD!
