Mark Alden Johnson’s “I’m Up in a Tree” tells the story of a boy who climbs a tree only to realize after the fact that he unsure how to get down. While contemplating his options he is visited by various creatures including bees, a bird and a cat who give him  suggestions, all of which sound scary to the little boy. The boy must to decide whether to give into the peer pressure of these creatures or wait for his dad, even though he thinks he might get in trouble.

My three year old son Lucian and I really enjoyed reading this book together. The lyrical rhyming style makes it not only fun for me to read but definite grabs and keeps his attention. “I climbed up your tree, up here in the sky. I thought it’d be fun but I climbed too high! I would climb back down but I don’t know how. So I’m stuck up here in your tree for now.”

While my son just enjoys the story overall, I love the underlying message of the book.  When in a sticky situation it is better to think the situation through. Just because a peer tells you that you should do something, doesn’t mean you should. It is all about making the right choices.  Even though the child is afraid his dad will be mad, he continues to wait for him rather than follow the bad advice of the bees, bird and cat.  One detail that bothered my son however was that there were no whiskers on the illustration of the cat! (Leave it to him to notice something like that…)

MARK ALDEN JOHNSON has been a writer at heart since a very young age. Even as a kid, he would invent imaginative stories and proudly present them to his parents – and anyone else he could find. Johnson started writing children’s stories just for his kids and their friends when they were young, but after he published his first book, Little Fish Lou (Outskirts Press), he knew writing was a passion he wanted to pursue. A native of northern Nevada, Johnson attended West Nevada College, where he took a wide variety of courses. Currently, he works for a local utility company in Dayton, Nev., where he lives with his wife and three kids.

The toddler stage is a blast, even if a bit challenging at times. Here are some fabulous products for your toddler, all of which would make great Easter gifts!

You may remember two separate reviews and giveaways with these babalu products. I personally have the Felt Tales and the Camping Out Shadow Book. All would make perfect Easter or birthday gifts. If I had to choose the knock out product though, Felt Tales has my vote. Not only does it come with a ton of felt board pieces and is very portable, it is a great way to encourage imaginative play! This is a favorite in our house and with lots of different styles to choose from including from the zoo to princesses to dinosaurs, there is certain to be the perfect one for your child.

Buy it: Felt Tales retail for $19.99 and can be purchased from Amazon or directly from Babalu. The remaining items are from WJ Fantasy (owned by Babalu) and can be purchased from Amazon or directly from Babalu.

Last June my boys went absolutely bonkers for Peter Rabbit Organics fruit pouches.This was one of those products that they loved so much I bought a case after the review was over! They fought over who got to eat the last one and it seemed like the perfect special snack.

Peter Rabbit Organics 100% Pure Fruit Snacks contain a full serving of organic fruit with no added sugar or artificial ingredients. They are extremely portable, no spoon required and have an easy twist off cap that actually isn’t a choking hazard and can be resealed. There are three different varieties:Strawberry & Banana ~ Mango, Banana and Orange ~ Apple & Grape

This a healthy and delicious snack perfect for babies and children and would be a great alternative to candy in an Easter basket. The adorable Peter Rabbit logo fits wonderfully with this holiday!

Buy it: These fruit pouches can currently be purchased for around $15 for a case of 10 from Amazon or check their store locator to find the nearest location near you.

Kidorable has the cutest selection of rain gear for little one. We received the fireman set last fall (see my review) and the boots have become a favorite of both my boys to clomp around inside. They are just itching to go stomp in the puddles!

You will find a wide assortment of kid umbrellas that would make the perfect Easter gift for the rainy spring season. With 22 different  designs to choose from your only problem will be deciding on which one! Just don’t forget to consider all the matching pieces for a full set.

This contest will end on 3/25/10 at 11:59 pm CST. U.S. residents only. The winner will be drawn via random.org and will have 48 hours to respond to winning notification email before I draw another winner or do a live giveaway.

Disclosure: I received samples for the purpose of the original reviews for Babalu, Peter Rabbit Organics and Kidorable. I received nothing for this particular post. The opinions and experiences I’ve shared with these products are my own and yours may differ.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while then you know that I’m a sucker for a cute hat. I just love them, especially crocheted ones. Unfortunately I’m unable to fully satisfy my need for hats that are so cute I can’t hardly stand it because, well, I have two little boys. That is a bit limiting, isn’t it?. But I DO have a one year old niece who is very easy to spoil with all things girly. How can I resist when Joanne from Sweet Bella Baby asks me to do a review on her products? My niece just happens to be named Bella (and she is one sweet baby!) so of course I can’t. I jumped at the chance to indulge!

Sweet Bella Baby is an Etsy shop with that will wow you with a wide assortment of flower crochet hats and headbands. All items are made of high quality silk flowers, ribbons, marabou, swarovski crystals and knitted items.

My items came packaged beautifully and ready for gift giving right out of the box.

I think the pictures below speak for themselves. My niece looked absolutely adorable in everything, although the hat was a bit big on her smaller than average head. I think she knew she looked good, don’t you?

I was very happy with the quality of both the headband, hat and the flowers attached. Given the extremely affordable price I’m even more impressed. The hat is very soft and since the flower is permanently secured to the hat, my sister doesn’t have to worry about Bella ripping it off or being annoyed by anything plastic or metal used to keep it attached. Sweet Bella Baby does offer to put the flower directly on a clip if that is your preference so the flowers can be interchangeable.

There are so many other options to choose from sizes baby to adult that you are sure to find something perfect for your little princess at Sweet Bella Baby.

Buy it: These hats range in price from $11.95 to $14.95 and headbands for $6.95. However, Sweet Bella Baby is currently offering a fantastic deal. For the month of March only you can purchase standard hats for only $10 and headbands only $5. Hurry before this offer expires!

Sweet Bella Baby would like to one of my readers their choice of any hat or headband!

I have been very fortunate to work with Wilton on multiple occasions this past year. You may remember my first with the Wilton Yearbook or perhaps my fun Halloween baking review. But my very favorite so far was my review of Wilton UltraGold bakeware.  I love that my relationship with Wilton pushes me to try new things and to do more baking!

Wilton is has what you need to do anything and everything you can imagine in terms of baking.  From step by step instructions to a huge selections of baking essentials and fun gadgets, Wilton can help you achieve a scrumptious masterpiece. One of their amazing products I’ve had my eye on a while is their Dimensions Giant Cupcake Pan. And can you blame me? Cupcakes are sweet but GIANT ones are even sweeter. Who can honestly resist?

I thought a giant cupcake cake for my son Warren’s 2nd birthday would be perfect. The pan was simple to use and the cake came out great. I did need two cake mixes and had enough mix left over for about 10 cupcakes. I recommend keeping a close eye on the cake as it bakes. It was hard to know exactly how long to bake it since the instructions that came with the pan state to follow the directions on the box. The cake mix obviously doesn’t include baking times for giant cupcake pans so I conservatively estimated and kept checking it every few minutes after that.

Of course I couldn’t just keep it simple and decided I would grant the request of my husband to add a filling. I chose this strawberry cream filling recipe from Wilton. While that added step really became a labor of love it ended up working great.  The filling turned out a bit thinner than I thought would be ideal between the the top and bottom half of the cupcake so my mom (the most fabulous baker in the world) came to my rescue. Her advice was to add a little powdered sugar and it worked wonders! I cut out a hole in the center of the bottom portion of the cupcake and added some strawberry filling before replacing the  piece I cut and adding even more between the two layers.

I decorated the top with some creamy vanilla canned frosting using my Wilton Decorating Bag Kit that I purchased from my local Target.  I strongly suggest you read these fabulous decorating bag tips from Wilton if you are an inexperienced decorator like myself. I wish I would have before I started since I broke the cardinal rule and filled past the clearly marked “Do not fill past this line” warning. I did end up with frosting oozing out the end and all over my hands but it certainly didn’t show in the results.

I had planned on leaving the bottom bare but with the strawberry filling showing I thought it would look better if it appeared to have a white baking cup underneath so I frosted it as well. If I were to do it over again I would have made sure I purchased these jumbo confetti sprinkles for that something extra.

I stored it in the fridge before serving so it could firm up even more. While it may not be perfect, I am very happy with how it turned out. I had extra filling left over so I had some available in a dish for spooning over the cake after it was sliced. It was so refreshing! The filling really added something special and my husband even paid me the highest compliment ever. He asked for seconds on cake which trust me, never usually happens!

Being the novice decorator that I am, I am certainly unable to show you all the amazing things you can do with this pan. But of course Wilton can make you oooh and ahhhh with the stunning cakes below. If you want to wow them at a birthday party, this pan can certainly do that! If you are looking for something extra unique for Easter, check out this Easter Basket Cake with cookies!

Do you suddenly have a massive craving for some cake? I do just completing this post.  If you’re completely sold on this pan and you just gotta have it, you can purchase it directly from Wilton for $30.99 or check your local Michael’s or Jo-ann Fabrics and Craft Store. And if you are feeling really lucky, you just might win the Wilton Dimensions Giant Cupcake Pan!

This contest will end on 3/23/10 at 11:59 pm CST. U.S. residents only. The winner will be drawn via random.org and will have 72 hours to respond to winning notification email before I draw another winner or do a live giveaway.

Disclosure: I received a Wilton Dimensions Giant Cupcake Pan for the purposes of this review but no other type of compensation was received. This has no bearing on my completely honest review above. The opinions and experiences I’ve shared with these products are my own and yours may differ.

When I think of frozen seafood products, I think of Gorton’s. Since having children we always have a huge 115 count bag of Extra Crunchy Breaded Fish Sticks from Sam’s Club sitting in our freezer. (Which are a fabulous value by the way so go buy yourself a bag!) It is the only kind of fish stick we’ve tried that doesn’t end up mushy and we just love that crunchy breading!

Since my husband and I adore  seafood I was excited to work with Gorton’s and try out some of their other products. I immediately seized the opportunity to try their Shrimp Scampi. Both my husband and I love shrimp and who can resist a yummy garlic sauce?

I decided to keep it simple and follow the suggestion on the box to serve it over a bed of noodles. With just a simple box of spaghetti and Gorton’s Shrimp Scampi we created what tasted like a gourmet meal.  It was cinch to prepare by simply sauteing the shrimp and boiling the spaghetti. With the built in garlic butter sauce it created a savory meal with very little effort on my part.  Both my husband and I can’t wait to try it again (and again and again….).

The package contains three servings and I think that is about right, although my husband and I finished it completely and we were more than satisfied.  With 120 calories and 6 grams of fat per serving it isn’t damaging to your waistline despite it feeling like a splurge.

Gorton’s also has some great current promotions:

Print out a coupon to receive $1.00 any two Gorton’s products.

Purchase any 3 Gorton’s items and you can request the electronic Sudoku game shown above for free!

Enter the Gorton’s Recipe Renovation Contest through February 23, 2010.  There will be 31 semi-finalists chosen who all will be guaranteed to win something. The grand prize includes a $5,000 gift card to a leading home furnishing retailer and 12 free Gorton’s product coupons.

I’ve had the chance to work with Creativity for Kids on multiple occasions and the response has always been fantastic.  It seems that everyone is always jumping at the chance to have more fun craft and art projects with their kids and who can blame them? Anything that entertains and fosters creativity in my boys is a winner with me. I’ve previously reviewed their Make Your Own Animal Puppet Kit and kicked off my holiday splurge event with an awesome boys and girls prize pack giveaway.

This time I got the chance to test out the Young Artist Texture Painting Set from Faber-Castell which retails for $17.99.

Experience the joy of creative artistic expression. This 12 piece set has everything you need to experiment with color, texture, paint and patterns. Includes 5 colors of washable tempera paint, 5 texture tools, paint tray and 20 sheets of paper. And, a fully illustrated instruction guide that includes paint mixing chart, tips and techniques.

Just looking at the package, doesn’t it look like fun? While my boys are younger than the recommended age of 5 and up it didn’t stop them from having a blast with this set. I did however have to monitor them closely while they painted to avoid color mixing and to make sure that they didn’t paint anything they shouldn’t.

This paint set features many fun shaped texture brushes which go beyond the ordinary and allow your child to create something unique with little effort. I think this would be a great compliment to a regular paint set so you could mix the two together. The set includes everything you need to create and I found it very helpful to have paper already included. The brushes clean up easily with cold water and dry fairly quickly.  Adding a little water is recommended to stretch the amount of paint so it isn’t necessary to let the brushes dry before you can use them again.

My only suggestion would be to have multiple containers available so several colors are available at once. Only one paint tray is included and given the size of the brushes it would be hard to mix more than two at a time. With the ages of my boys I could only do one color in the tray to avoid cross mixing. With five brushes available it would have been handy to have five containers. This can easily be done with disposable containers or cups you may have lying around the house.

Creativity for Kids has a wide selection of products to bring out your child’s creative side and here are just a few of them.

• Big Fun Stamp Art (ages 3+) $19.99
• Keepsake Canvas (ages 5+) $14.99
• Racer Bikes (ages 5+) $18.99
• Butterfly Diary (ages 6+) $14.99

You can purchase these kits, including Faber-Castell products directly through Creativity for Kids. You can also find their products at your local Target or use their store locator to find a retailer near you.

How would you like to win all of these four products shown? Now that I’ve got you excited, check out how you can win below!

The packaging on any product can be the first thing that catches are eye in  a sea of the products we are bombarded with every day. I love it when I find something that surprises me and actually looks good  on display. Have you see these new Dentyne bottles that are anything but ordinary?

Dentyne premium badge edition bottle are available in twelve eye catching limited edition designs in Peppermint, Spearmint and Arctic Chill flavors.  These fun and edgy designs were created by apparel, skateboard and snowboard artist Anthony Yankovic. The gum is the same (why mess with a good thing right?) but the bottles certainly are not.

If you haven’t had a chance to try out these bottles we find them quite handy in my house. We placed the Peppermint version on our mantel and appreciated just how easy it was to walk by and snag a piece of gum. I also like that it didn’t completely look out of place either!

So what do you think? Do you appreciate it when companies step out of the box and try to gives us something visually appealing for our every day products? Tell me for the chance to win some Dentyne gum in this snazzy new packaging.

Shaun the Sheep is back at it again with more great adventures in Shaun The Sheep: A Woolly Good Time, set to  hit stores on Tuesday, February 16th. You may have seen this fun series as 5 minutes shorts on the Disney Channel but full length episodes of this International Emmy Award winner can only be found on DVDs.

Episodes Include:

• “Washday” – When the Farmer leaves, the sheep have loads of fun playing with his newly washed clothes hung out to dry. Quick! How to clean up the dirty garments before he returns?
• “Tooth Fairy” – Bitzer gets a terrible toothache and Shaun takes the job as dentist hoping to help his friend and remove the painful tooth.  But after several creative and hilarious attempts at extraction it’s off to the vet for success!  But will the Tooth Fairy still visit Bitzer?
• “The Farmer’s Niece” – The Farmer’s naughty niece comes for a visit and Bitzer and the fearless flock have to put up with her silly antics.
• “Snore-Worn Shaun” – What can Shaun do to stop Shirley’s snoring? Nothing works so he and the flock decide to get her out of the barn with hilarious results!
• “Helping Hound” – Farmer and Bitzer are fed up with the naughty sheep and hope a robotic dog will keep them in line.  But there’s mayhem in the meadow when he turns out to be stricter than Bitzer!
• “Big Top Timmy” – The sheep awake to find Timmy gone! The search is on and he’s found at a nearby circus.  Can Shaun and the fearless flock rescue him and return to the barn before the Farmer finds out.

While not all that educational, this DVD is a riot! Both my kids absolutely love Shaun the Sheep but even my husband and I get excited when we get a new DVD from this series and look forward to watching it with the kids.  We love the simple humor and giggle at the silly antics. It is impossible to resist. With no talking, everything is done with actions and sounds to the signature Shaun the Sheep music.

In this DVD I found Tooth Fairy and Snore-Worn Shaun to be my absolute favorites, both of which involve the extremely overweight sheep, Shirley that is always a bit clumsy and difficult to control. The lengths that poor Shaun went through to try and drown out Shirley’s snoring and eventually trying to remove her from the barn entirely were a crack up!

I highly recommend all the Shaun the Sheep DVDS and you don’t have to take just my word for it. Look at the glowing reviews on Amazon and you’ll understand why this show is an award winner!

Buy it: Shaun the Sheep: A Woolly Good Time can be purchased after 2/16 (or on pre-order) from Amazon currently for only $8.99 or directly from Hit Entertainment!

I have a copy of Shaun the Sheep:  A Woolly Good Time to give to one of my readers!

Handbag Heaven is the perfect way to get a great looking bag at an affordable price. From hobo bags to shoulder bags to clutches it’s all available!

This contest will end on 2/24/10 at 11:59 pm CST. U.S. residents only. The winner will be drawn via random.org and will have 48 hours to respond to winning notification email before I draw another winner or do a live giveaway.

Disclosure: I received samples for the purpose of the original reviews for Handbag Heaven.  I received nothing for this particular post. The opinions and experiences I’ve shared with these products are my own and yours may differ.

Last April I showed you some unique personalized gifts from Frecklebox which included a My Name Is book review among other fabulous options. Since that time they’ve added some fun new products including their newest book, Big Heart which debuted just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Big Heart is the story of a child who is learning how to show someone you love them with such ways as cooking, art, music, flowers, going someplace special or traditional hugs and kisses of course. You choose the name of the child featured in the story and they are showcased throughout the story in various pictures. You also can choose the narrator of the story: Mommy, Daddy, Grandma or Grandpa.

Of course I love the personalization aspect of Frecklebox books. It is extra special to have your child’s name be the featured child in the story, especially if you child has a unique name. But I really appreciate the quality of the book, from the glossy hardbound exterior to the smooth pages within. My son Warren loved just browsing through the bright and colorful pictures, even without yet recognizing his name in the pictures. Our oldest son Lucian learned how to spell his name through his My Name Is book and I look forward to using Big Heart as a way to teach my youngest. This book retails for $19.95 for softbound and $34.95 for hardbound.

Still searching for something unique for Valentine’s Day for your sweetheart?  If Big Heart isn’t what you had in mind, check out this adorable Candy Hearts personalized puzzle.  Frecklebox personalized puzzles contain 20 pieces and would be great for any age. How fun would this look in framed in an office or in a child’s room? At only $12.95 this a great way to give something different and special for your valentine!

Don’t forget to check out some of the other great items Frecklebox has available like these personalized lunch boxes for $26.95 or

these very affordable personalized coloring books for $6.95. Imagine showing up to a birthday party with one of these in tow or giving them out as extra special party favors?

Want a chance to win one of these items from Frecklebox? Here is your chance!

This contest will end on 2/21/10 at 11:59 pm CST. U.S. and Canada residents only. The winner will be drawn via random.org and will have 48 hours to respond to winning notification email before I draw another winner or do a live giveaway.

Disclosure: I received a sample for the purpose of this review . This has no bearing on my completely honest review above and was not influenced by any type of monetary compensation. The opinions and experiences I’ve shared with these products are my own and yours may differ.

This past Christmas I had the pleasure of showing you some of Hallmark’s newest products including the Recordable Storybook which was a huge hit and sold out coast to coast. Earlier in the year I shared with you their Edge of Motherhood cards, celebrating the joys of motherhood and all the humor required for the job. Now I’m excited to tell you about their newest greeting card creation, the webcam greetings.

Webcam greetings are like no other greeting card you’ve seen before. While they look and feel like regular card they have a special bonus for the recipient! Simply visit  www.hallmark.com/extra and follow the directions to be able to view a 3D animated feature by holding the greeting card up to the web camera. The animation works no matter which way the card is moved. Some cards even display various scenes as the card is turned in different angles in front of the webcam.

Check out the video below to see the webcam greeting in action and be amazed!

We got the chance to review two Valentine’s Day webcam greetings and were blown away by the originality and certainly appreciated the affordability.  I did have troubles getting the software to recognize our built in webcam on our smaller laptop in Firefox but my husband is a genius and suggested we try Internet Explorer. Good thing I married him or I wouldn’t have been able to view hoops & yoyo being annoyingly cute yet irresistible as they jumped on screen.

I’m sure it is no surprise that my kids both were fascinated and mesmerized by these cards and wanted to watch them over and over. Can you blame them? These are totally  fun and completely different than anything I’ve seen. I think they would be a great way to put a smile on anyone’s face this Valentine’s Day without having to spend a lot in the process!

Ten cards currently are available for Valentine’s Day and additional webcam greetings will be added throughout the year. A majority of the cards are only $2.99, although those included a sound clip that plays when the recipient opens the card (clip is audible without going online) retail for $5.99.

You can purchase webcam greetings from your local Hallmark store. Use the store locator to find the nearest one to you!

Every new mama, whether it be her first child or her third, needs a few special items for her and baby.  The three companies featured below all share the common goal of making a new mama’s already exhausting life just a little bit easier.

In August I shared with you my love for the Bravado Supreme nursing bra in this review. I had a very difficult time finding a bra that was both supportive and functional for nursing and this was by far my favorite! Very high quality and was a life saver for me while I nursed both my boys. I highly recommend this bra to any bigger busted woman.

Bravado has just recently launched Basics by Bravado Designs which is now available in select Target stores around the country. You can find the closest location to you here. They are also running a super fun contest. Find a location near you, capture of picture of you discovering the display and send the photo with your name and contact information to basics@bravadodesigns.com to be entered to win $500 worth of must-have items for baby! Check out the Spot, Click and Send Sweepstakes page for more details and to see all amazing stuff up for grabs!

One of my very first reviews was of my Pastel Blue Mod Circles Ultimate Receiving Blanket and matching Baby Lovie from Swaddle Designs. I was fortunate to win these items on another blog and simple fell in love. Truly, the Ultimate Receiving Blanket is the ultimate. I struggled to find the larger sized receiving blankets in stores and I found it extremely frustrating to try and swaddle with blankets that were too small for the job. These blankets are very versatile and super soft. Perfect for any baby, regardless of whether or not they are swaddled! See my full review here.

Swaddle Designs features modern designs in many different patterns and fabrics, including certified organic cotton!

Discount: You can save 10% off  regularly priced items with the code “MadeinUSA” at checkout!

I discovered Bebe Dulce Aspen this past fall and had the chance to experience the quality of their appliqued onesies firsthand. Check out my full review to learn even more! This shop is perfect for finding unique and boutique items that you won’t find just anywhere.

With a Peek-a-Boo Clip you can quickly turn any blanket into a nursing cover, making it a must-have accessory. Compact and available in lots of fun prints, this would make a fabulous gift for any new mom at only $15.

Don’t forget to check out their baby gift sets and beanies which are too cute for words!

Discount: Use code “winter20” to receive 20% off your purchase through the end of February!

Disclosure: I received no compensation of any kind for the posting of this giveaway.

I have had the pleasure of working with Things Remembered for multiple promotions this past year including Father’s Day and Mother’s Day gift ideas, and most recently their Custom Couture Collection. I’m always impressed with the selection, quality and thoughtfulness of their gifts.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, this is the perfect time to check out the options available at Things Remembered. I had the opportunity receive this gorgeous Flutter Heart Bracelet, engraved with a special message from my husband.  Isn’t it absolutely gorgeous? I love that it has such a unique look  and I know I’ll treasure it forever.

I hate bracelets which require me to ask my husband for help or spend much too long trying to get it on. With the larger size of the clasp I am able to easily attach it all by myself. How liberating. Since my wrists are small I also appreciate that I can attach the clasp much further into where the small hearts connect to get a tighter fit.

If you are still searching for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift either to give your significant other as a hint or to buy yourself, you can get some great ideas using the Top 10 Valentine’s Gifts for Men, Women or Children.

Buy it: The Flutter Heart Bracelet retails for $40 but is currently on sale for only $29.99. Order it by Tuesday, February 9th to get it in time for Valentine’s Day!

For all of you ladies who were disappointed you didn’t win my last Karen Neuburger giveaway for those adorable moose pajamas,  I’ve got a whole new reason for you to get excited again. By now you already know that Karen Neuburger is well known for her comfort lifestyle clothing, with her most famous being her coveted boyfriend pajamas.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try these Karen Neuburger Pink Lady Boyfriend Pajamas from the Pink Ribbon Collection which retail for $72. They are very feminine with pink roses and even a pink breast cancer ribbon on the front pocket. With my mom being a breast cancer survivor, the cause is close to my heart. This makes the ribbon placement so fitting!

KN pajamas are seriously the softest, most comfortable pajamas I own. Unfortunately this picture does nothing to show you just how beautiful these pajamas are so I took it upon myself to show you how I rock them on my couch, all comfy and cozy. Don’t you wish you were me at this moment? (Actually, I wish I was me at this moment instead of sitting in my hard dining room chair on my laptop!)

I did notice that these pajamas had were more form fitting than the moose pajamas I received before and are more flattering in my opinion. Wouldn’t these make a thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift? Who needs real roses when you can get them on a pair of pajamas? Instead of throwing your wilted roses away you will have a sweet reminder every time you wear them instead!

Of course I can’t resist once again mentioning  KN lounge socks. They are such high quality and my favorite pair of lounge socks. I know they will last me for a long time as long as I can hold back my temptations to pick at the nifty little grippers on the bottom. I highly recommend them so buy some a pink or white pair to complete the ensemble!

You can shop the KN Pink Ribbon Collection at Macy’s North, Dillard’s, Bon-Ton Stores and online at www.karenneuburger.com.
