Month for Mom: J*Flops Review

J*Flops is a Sacramento-based flip flop design company started for the pure joy of making girls' feet everywhere happy and stylish. I personally design each flop with that in mind. I love wearing flip flops and got bored with the same styles, so I decided to spice up the world of flip flops with a new kind of flip flop – J*Flops!

An abundance of originality, style, and fun go into making each pair. Not to mention superior quality materials, starting with the flops we use. Our flops are made from the finest materials and are of the highest quality. Our rubber flops are super comfy and durable. Your feet will thank you for introducing them to something so comfortable, yet so adorable!

Our designs come in a variety of colors and sizes and some are one-of-a-kind. Every pair is handmade to order using the highest quality embellishments. All adornments are sewn on by hand and every crystal is individually placed to provide unsurpassed attention to detail and quality. You can rest assured that since J*Flops are handmade, no two pairs are alike, which makes for a very special flop.

You can pair your J*Flops with a white tee and your favorite pair of jeans, a sassy sundress or an evening gown! J*Flops are ideal for a walk on the beach in your matching bikini! And for all those brides out there – J*Flops are the perfect accessory for you and your bridesmaids. J*Flops strives to provide all flip flop lovers out there with unique, chic and fun flops. We promise you won’t be disappointed when you slip our flops on.

Sincerely, 
Jennifer 
Owner/Designer, J*Flops 

My Thoughts:


I don't usually wear flip flops because I feel they look tacky and make my feet look big but I really liked these from the moment I put them on. The cute bows were just enough to help hide my large and swollen feet, and they were casual enough to wear with my jeans without looking silly. I'm still waiting for it to warm up enough to wear them on a regular basis, we had snow again today, but I am very impressed with the quality and the style of these flops.

Wordless Wednesday - Just Like Mom

Voda Swimwear - Review & GIVEAWAY

About VODA SWIM:

Voda Swim is a new concept in bikini design. The magic is in a new patent pending Envy Push Up bikini top created by international model Yulia. Where ordinary bikini cups sag and wrinkle, Voda Swim bikini tops create perfect bikini breasts! Finding a bikini top that fits is a frustrating, disappointing experience. That's why a young fashion model and avid beach lover decided it was time to rethink that whole bikini thing. "I spend a lot of time at the beach, but I was always self-conscious about my swimsuit. Whenever I put on a bikini, it looked baggy and I looked shapeless. The bikini tops didn't provide any lift or contouring, and made my breasts look non-existent."


Taking it as a personal challenge, Yulia and her husband Dustin spent many long nights working on high-fashion bikini designs that would make the most of the smallest assets. The secret is in the fit and a little hidden magic in the form of a soft and pliant enhancer that cups the breast, giving a full, rounded contour, with a natural bouncy movement. The cup shape insures a perfect fit providing support and shaping. The Envy Push Up top visually increases the bust size by up to two cup sizes and provides great lift and support! The curves and contours are utterly natural, the lift and cleavage are flawless.


The Envy Push Up line by Voda Swim, the first swim suit line designed especially to flatter small-breasted women or to shape breasts by providing lift and support, has the kind of cutting edge style that satisfies the most demanding fashionista. Beyond their good looks, Voda Swim suits are designed to take on any beachside activity from sunbathing to surfing to volleyball.

My Thoughts:

Who doesn't like a little lift? I have NEVER worn a bikini because I have nothing to show and I see no point in emphasizing that fact, something my husband does not understand, but when I found Voda Swim I was excited to give their push up swimwear a try. 

I was sent the Midnight Envy Push Up® Tankini & Adjustable Scoop. It arrived quickly and I was delighted with the softness of the fabric. The suit is just like in the photo, sorry, no photos of me and my big belly and stretch marks, and has a great fit. The fabric was stretchy enough to make it over my ever growing belly however I am much more excited to wear it this summer once that is no longer an issue. The push up worked great and I might actually feel cute at the pool this summer. 

I do have two concerns. One being that the suit does seem to run small. If you're in question I would order a size bigger than you think. The second is that the straps are not as long as I would like and I am worried about the ties coming undone. I did do some moving and pulling on them while trying on the suit and they didn't come undone but I don't think a little longer straps would hurt it any.


Voda Swim is your destination for cute padded bikinis, padded swimwear, Brazillian bikinis, and Brazillian swimsuits.

Month For Mom: Kim Madsen Designs Review

Kim Madsen makes beautiful paintings and plaques for every room in your home. She specializes in custom work and is very good at helping you design your special piece.

We were sent this custom wall plaque to review and enjoy. 

E was thrilled when I showed this to him as he had been wanting something of the sort for a while. The plaque came ready to hang including hardware which was wonderful (I always forget about things like that). It is now hanging on our wall and looks wonderful. The painting job is great and it has just enough shine to it that it stands out.

I love Kim's work and am already starting to plan what I want to put in our new home. I'm thinking this piece will look great in our new nursery.

Make sure you visit Kim today in her SHOP and watch for a great giveaway later this month!

Wordless Wednesday - Playin Dino

Toddler Tuesday: Laundry

blog.tinyprints.com

One of my two least favorite chores is laundry. I only do laundry because my deal with E is that if I do the laundry he does the dishes and dishes are the only job I dislike more. There is however one thing that makes doing laundry bearable. That is the fact that when I do laundry I get a date night. 

That's right. I work hard all day and get all the laundry through the washer and dryer. Then I get to pile it on the bed. :) This forces E to help me fold it before we can get into said bed. Laundry night has become one of my favorite nights of the week. We usually start with a treat and then turn on a good movie and watch it together while we fold this HUGE pile of laundry. We get the chance to talk about our day, the boys, and what our plan is for the week (laundry night is usually Monday). 

So today I want to say THANK YOU toddlers! You manage to go through more laundry than I ever see you using but I sure do love my "date" with your dad so please continue to create laundry for me.

Month for Mom

Being a mom means trying to make everything perfect. 

And being upset when you can't.

Sunday Project: Egg Decorating

I've been wondering if we were going to dye eggs with B & C this year. Last year they showed no interest when we were doing them with the aunts and uncles. This year I'm afraid there will be just enough interest that we will have a big mess. This great article over at Quirky Mama gave me some great ideas on how to involve the kids without quite so much of a mess. Here eggs look awesome! You can check them out HERE.

Easter at EdenFantasys *Adult*

Do you ever have a hard time finding that perfect gift to put in your partner's Easter basket? I know it is always a struggle at our house. Here are some great ideas I found from EdenFantasys.

We all love finding a bunny Easter morning but instead of a little stuffed creature she will never look at again how about one of these more adult rabbits.

Vivid Bunny 

Bunny Hopper 

Nestlin' Bunny

This bunny would be great for that guy in your life. 

Virtual Bunny

Or for a little excitement in your egg hunt this year try hiding a few of these

Tenga Eggs

No matter what you are in the mood for this Easter EdenFantasys has something to fit the bill. And remember, always a free gift with your order and always free standard shipping on orders of $59+ or free next day shipping with orders of $100+.

Date Night: Movie

I sent E to pick out our movie this week and he came home with Charlie St. Cloud.

Summary: 
St. Cloud is a young man overcome by grief at the death of his younger brother. So much so that he takes a job as caretaker of the cemetery in which his brother is buried. Charlie has a special lasting bond with his brother though, as he can see him. Charlie meets up with his brother (Sam) each night to play catch and talk. Then, a girl comes into Charlie's life and he must choose between keeping a promise he made to Sam, or going after the girl he loves.


My Thoughts:
This was a typical E movie. For some reason he is drawn to the movies with the flashbacks and "ghosts." This was an ok movie but not one I will pick in the future. Certainly not one to watch before bed. It did have a good storyline and great theme.
