New Additions to Style By Mommy

We are proud to announce we are carrying wet bags, made by The Sling Sisters, local Manitoba Moms!!

These bags are amazing - The industrial grade waterproof liner keeps wetness inside. Each bag is approximately 12x15 inches, has a zippered top and strap with a snap so you can hang it anywhere you go.

I have used wet bags for years and can honestly say these are the best quality I've found. Nice and thick, with a strong zipper and reinforced tab to hang the bag in the laundry room, nursery, off your stroller, etc.

Some uses we have found for wet bags:

• Potty training - your little one is sure to have an accident - keep soiled clothes in this bag and don't worry about smelling up your purse, car, etc.

• Swimming lessons or trips to the beach - put your wet swimsuits, towels, etc. in the bag and keep everything else dry.

• Cloth Diapering - wetbags are a MUST for your soiled diapers, wipes etc. Just open up the bag, empty it in the wash and go.

• Sports - I keep everything in a wetbag (change of socks, mosquito spray, keys, etc. and then throw it on the field. No worry of soaking everything when it rains. Because it always rains on soccer night!

     Visit Style By Mommy and order your Wet Bag today!

Amazon.com ships to Canada

Amazon.com is now shipping to Canada. In the past you could ship movies and books but now you can ship things like clothing, toys, etc. They often have AMAZING deals so this is a great opportunity, especially for Christmas presents!

Why is Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish the safe nail polish?



•Non-toxic


•Low Odor


•Water-based formula


•Hypoallergenic


•Fun, vibrant colors


•Dries to a hard, durable finish


•Cruelty-free


•Safe for use during Pregnancy!


Piggy Paint™ is specially formulated from God’s natural ingredients and dries to a hard, durable finish. There are no toxic chemicals; it’s free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, Bisphenol A, ethyl acetate and acetone. Click here to see how our polish compares!


Say good-bye to harsh, smelly chemicals and hello to Piggy Paint™…it’s as Natural as Mud!


Piggy Paint™ Ingredients
Water, water-miscible acrylic resins and thickeners (well below 100 parts per million), glycol ethers. May contain mica, D&C red lake, ultramarine blue, iron and titanium oxide pigments.


•Wash hands with soap and water.


•Apply 2 -3 thin coats of Piggy Paint™.


•Air dry 60 seconds.


•Blow dry polished nails for 1 minute with hair dryer set on warm heat/low blower setting. For safety purposes, please follow manufacturer’s instructions on blow dryer and always monitor your child.


Since most young children are squirmy during the drying process of any polish, we suggest singing songs to pass the time. Two rounds of the “ABC’s” should make 60 seconds pass by very quickly. Make “Piggy Painting” a bonding experience for you and your child.


Do I have to use a blow dryer to dry her nails?


No, but it is recommended for maximum chip resistance. Since Piggy Paint™ is water-based and does not contain harsh chemicals, it takes longer for its ultimate hardness to be reached. The blow dryer just speeds up this process.


Another alternative is to wait and polish your child’s nails after bath time, before they go to bed. This will allow the polish to cure overnight.


Piggy Paint™ As a Learning Tool


Fine Motor Skills


Let your child paint your fingernails or toenails. If you’re worried about it looking (well, like a child painted your nails), opt for the toenails…you can always put socks on in public! This helps with her fine-motor skills and gives her a chance to exert her independence.


Color Names


Are you trying to teach your child color names? Paint her nails with the specific color you’re working on (such as red) and declare it a “Red Day”. All day long, point out objects in her environment that match her nails, and encourage her to do the same. Wear red clothes, add red foods to mealtime and use a bath color tablet to make her bath water red. Once she’s mastered that color, paint her piggies a new color.


Patterns


Recognizing different types of patterns is a hard concept learn for children to learn, so why not put patterns right at their fingertips? For example, if you’re working on simple patterns, alternate blue and yellow “Piggy Paint” on her fingers. As you go through the day, help her to make patterns with her toys, M&M‘s, crayons, beads…use your creativity. Have her refer to her fingernails for help. Start out with color patterns and then attempt other categories, such as big doll, little doll, big doll, etc. Ready for harder patterns? Move to three different colors or alternate pink, purple, purple, pink, and so on.


School Colors


Does your daughter play any sports? Perhaps she has a favorite high school, collegiate, or professional team she cheers for. If so, paint her nails with her team’s colors to show her support.


Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish Remover


Why is Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish Remover the best choice?


•Low Odor


•No Acetone


•Hypoallergenic


•Biodegradable


Put harmful, smelly polish removers behind you with Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish Remover, a remover that works quickly on all polishes, especially Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish. Our remover contains none of the solvents that could offend your nose or harm our atmosphere. Aloe Vera and Vitamin E are added to supplement the natural oils that protect nails and cuticles.


Ingredients: Corn alcohol, butyl diglycol, Aloe Vera extract, Vitamin E, embittering agent.


Warning: Because Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish Remover is flammable when heated, do not use or store near heat or an ignition source. Do not ingest. Keep out of reach of children, and always have an adult supervising while using this product.

Whew!!

Well we did it - the 2nd Winnipeg Name Brand Sale is over and it went well!! We organized a sale double the size of our last one, and we hope the Spring sale will double again!

The Style By Mommy booth was good, we sold a LOT of clothes but we have BIG plans for next season to make it much better than ever.

We also picked up quite a few new consignors at the sale, so that was fantastic.

Those of you who came out, it was GREAT to see you there!

I will say that Friday night, at 2am, after a week of sickness, a trip to the emergency room, and less than 12 hours of sleep in 3 days, I wasn't sure there would be a Spring sale, but it all came together nicely. Hopefully next time we can stay healthy the week prior ;)

Consignors - we are now updating our lists, inventory, etc. in the next few days you will receive an email from us as to where your account is at, your options for cashing in, etc.

Thanks again - we couldn't do this without you :)

Gap Give & Get Information

Canadians - it is confirmed, Gap Give & Get will be instore only! Now, since the selection online is horrible, I'm not as disappointed as I once was - but still, what a ridiculous thing to do! Start an online website and then drive customers away from it.

If you plan on going instore for your 30% off this weekend (August 26-29th) - there is a link to the coupon here.

For our lucky American readers, of course you have the choice of going instore or ordering off of the real website however there are both types of coupons floating around (instore or online and instore) if you have a coupon you're not using, post here so we can hopefully hook everyone up with one!

We have 1 extra U.S. online code - if you need it, comment!

The Silver Agenda Giveaway Winner

Rumour also has it that Give and Get won't be valid online, but I'm still holding out and hoping we're wrong.

Sad Gap Online Shopping News

Ok all you Canucks who are anxiously waiting for the Gap Online Shopping that is to start tomorrow - apparantly we will NOT be able to use the Give and Get (30% off your entire purchase) sale online!!

Just a Thought

I was reminded earlier tonight that tomorrow is dreaded anniversary for a dear friend of mine and her best friend. Tomorrow is a day that one family wishes never came at all and would never return again. A day no mother should ever have to endure.

I am choosing to write something because I want all of us to stop and remember what we are so privileged to have everyday. To stop, sit back and take it all in not only the smiles but the bickering, the laughter and the tantrums, the hugs and the sibling inflicted bruises. Soak it up, breath it in, cherish each mundane moment.

Tomorrow I will eat little toes, kiss some owies, raise my voice I am sure but because of "N" I will do it all with a grateful smile. Grateful that I have the toes to nibble on, the bumps to soothe and the rowdies to yell at. I couldn't imagine my life without the chaos, the love~ I am privileged.

Thank-you "N" for the reminder that life just isn't about carpool, who had the DS last, laundry and bills. The reminder that yes we must deal with all of life everyday stuff, but aren't we lucky that we get to do with our little ones by our side. Some days it hard, very hard but just think how much harder it could be.

Wake up tomorrow, a day when one Mother will only kiss two of her three beautiful babies and give yours and extra kiss for her angel. You are privileged.

My love to KT and her family, to her best friends and their family.
XOXOX

This works and is awesome! I got a cover and re-usable breast pads for $20 delivered to my door!

Back to School at TCP

Well, like we posted earlier it is back to school time in the retail world. TCP is also having a sale to celebrate this perfect time of year, when the kids leave us again for a glorious seven hours a day.

Right now denim is only $12 and graphic tees $6. When we were in there last week shopping the monster sale there tons of great fall pieces, "A" was in full shopaholic mode. They even had "jeggings" I am not sure if these are included in the sale but I will defiantly be buying a pair for my only girl.

Between TCP and Gymboree this week we could do a lot of damage!

A reminder of the Back to School sale that starts this week - the official start date is Wednesday but a lot of people are reporting that their stores are starting tomorrow, so you may want to call and check.

New Gymboree SKU's!!

I'm not sure what to make of the new Gymboree lines - there are a few outfits I really like for Kid Girl, but I have my doubts that A will like them too. We shall see...

Because the place I go to view SKU's doesn't want them shared (and I understand it, I'm not complaining in any way!!) I have decided to try and figure out how to "hunt" them on my own, so that I can share them.

While I don't have nearly enough figured out - here are the SKU's I was able to find to share with you!!

Remember, this line and Cowgirl At Heart will be included in the Gymboree Back To School Sale that we blogged about.

Gap Sale this Weekend!!

There is going to be a SURPRISE Gap Sale this weekend - 30% off EVERYTHING!!

I don't know if it will start Friday or Saturday but the email will be going out soon. Personally, I'm going tonight in hopes of them actually having the sizes I need. I'll do a price adjustment this weekend.

Swagbucks

I've thought about joining Swagbucks many times - but I always figured it was another "too good to be true" internet claim and never bothered to go through with it.

After having many friends tell me it really is worth the time - I have decided to join. I will post updates here and let you know what I find, and if joining really is worth it.

You do get referral "dollars" so if you do decide to join, I'd appreciate you going through my referral link!

First - what are Swagbucks?

Swagbucks.com is an online portal dedicated to helping you earn digital dollars called "Swag Bucks", which can be redeemed for exclusive swagbucks.com merchandise. You can earn gift cards (Amazon, Starbucks, Macy's, Disney, etc.), PayPal $$ deposited right into your PayPal account, trading cards, electronics, the list goes on and on. The easiest way to earn Swag Bucks is by searching the web. You are already going to do this anyway, right, so just use the Swag Bucks search engine and earn swags bucks along the way. You don't earn swag bucks with every search, but when you do you earn denominations of 5 - 100 swag bucks (SB's) at a time! You can also shop their list of so many online stores and earn 2 SB's for ever $1 you spend at such shops as Target, Hanna Andersson, Mini Boden, The Children's Place, Justice, Overstock, Wal-Mart, etc. You can also earn SB's by doing special offers (and most are FREE to do) and you get LOTS of SB's when doing them! Now you can earn swag bucks in their Trusted Survey section. First do the profiles; there are 14 of them and they earn you 10-25 swag bucks each, then start doing the surveys. You won't qualify for all of them, but the ones you do qualify for can earn you from 50-250 swag bucks each! Giving out your referral link and having people sign up for swag bucks with that link is another way to earn swag bucks. Everytime your referral searches and wins, you get the same amount that they win up until they reach 1,000 in searches. So you can potentially get 1,000 swag bucks from each of your referrals!!

So - wish me luck in getting some real dollars here, I'm hoping to help fill up that Paypal account ;)
