Rustic Pickle and Little Jaimes Gray & a Giveaway

Today you guys, I am teaming up with two local shops to bring you a fantastic giveaway! I absolutely love both of these products; the adorable headband and these rockin' pants! 

I came across the Rustic Pickle on Facebook a couple of months ago and quickly became obsessed! Kristine makes the cutest Harem pants you ever did see! She began making them when she couldn't find any locally for her own three kids. These ones fit perfectly and the fabric is amazing.  These pants are great to be dressed up or dressed down. I love that they are so versatile and perfect for almost any occasion. Palmer wore these for her 2nd birthday party and danced her little heart out in them!

Then, not long after finding Rustic Pickle, I found Little Jaimes Gray. Since these two shops are closely linked, they compliment each other very well! Raegen at Little Jaimes Gray started her business not long after her daughter was born as she struggled to find cute, comfy headbands for her. So, she thought what better way than to make her own. She bought herself a sewing machine and got started! I'm glad she did because this headband is to die for! I love the thick band. And that bow! I'm swooning over it! I love that it is a different look from other headbands we have too! And the material is so soft and comfy.

Sugar Plum Lane Shop Spotlight & Giveaway!!

If you have ever browsed through Instagram, you know there are some pretty cute and amazing little shops on there. I happened to come across this one, Sugarplum Lane Baby Boutique, and instantly fell in love with all their adorable clothes for the kiddos!

Skirt c/o Sugarplum Lane

Kelly was so kind as to send Palmer this beautiful skirt! We both just love it! Palmer loves to twirl around and make the skirt dance, then says "Pretty Palmer!" Sweetest thing ever! The skirt is made form the softest, most beautiful cream white cotton with gold glitter hearts that don't shed the sparkles! A DREAM! 

This skirt is super versatile too. We matched it with this cream 3/4 sleeve t-shirt, jean jacket, knitted infinity scarf and tights. I think it would be great dressed up or down. Imagine it with a cute tank with a cardigan! Or a sweet Valentine's top from Kelly's collection. And, perfect for the summer!!!!

Oh Hey, Friday!

Can you believe another week has come and gone and we are now a few days deep into November? I can't believe how fast the time is going and how quickly the winter and Christmas are approaching! So, here are a few kind-of-winter-related items for my Friday Five

one: We have signed Palmer up for gymnastics starting in January. I think she is really going to like it! Shes so full of energy and always on the move, so I think this will be a good place for her to have fun and run and jump and play! I'm excited to start and watch her have so much fun!

two: I received this awesome beanie in the mail last week from a small Etsy shop, Baby Elle Apparel, here in Alberta and I'm in love with it! Dress it up, dress it down, it's a perfect accessory. The material is so soft and I love the way it fits. It is the perfect piece to top off your fall wardrobe! Thanks Brittany!!

three: Every year, our local radio stations team up and hold an auction where numerous local business offer up prizes. To be honest, I'm not really sure what the proceeds go to, although I'm sure it's something meaningful towards the community. Anyways, we ended up getting a year family pass to the local YMCA for half price. Good deal! We both get a gym membership, swimming, all the fitness classes, the parent and tot stuff...We are pretty happy with it! It will give us all a good reason to keep active throughout the winter!

four: I recently tried the Essential Oils that many people are talking about. I thought they were just this hocus pocus stuff but I think they actually worked! I was fighting off a cold last week, and working nights wasn't helping my cause, but I tried the Thieves essential oil along with some Lemon and it cleared my sinuses right up! I always tried out the Lavender and peace and calming before sleep and it worked like a charm. I always struggle with sleeping while I'm on nights, but this made it much better!!! I think theses may be essential as winter sneaks up on us! Have you tried any of these or other essential oils??

five:I am so excited to finally have a weekend off. It seems like FOREVER since we have had a family weekend. it will be nice to just relax, get some things done around the house and be together before I have to go back to work on Monday. Mitch on the other hand, gets Monday and Tuesday off too!
