Gap Swimsuit Recall

Another Gap recall, this time on 2 Baby Gap swimsuits. The halter is too short causing the plastic tie to be too close to the baby's neck, there were two complaints, zero injuries.

Honestly we have both of these swimsuits and while I'll make sure I don't put K down to nap or anything in them, we won't be returning them.

First swimsuit is from the Baby Gap Outlet (Villa line). 

Second is Baby Gap Marrakesh

Secret Gap Sale!!

Gap Canada had an unadvertised sale of 25% off regular priced items today - I don't know if it's going on tomorrow, but call your store and check, I would imagine because the Old Navy sale is tomorrow, this one will be too.

We have a Lennah Designs Winner - was it you?

First, I want to thank Stella from Lennah Designs for donating us two beautiful necklaces, one to cherish and keep and one to give a lucky reader.

Secondly, I want to thank all of you for entering our contest, it's been a lot of fun to watch!!

Also, please remember Stella also has given us a coupon code to share with you, so if you didn't win (or if you did, and want another of these amazing necklaces) the code is STYLEBYMOMMY and will save you 15% on your purchase! 

Now - because this is a blog post, and not a speech at the Oscars - I'll cut short and get to the point!

The lucky number (chosen by Random Number Generator) was 16 and our winner is Suzie! Congratulations!! Suzie, we will be emailing you shortly and you have 48 hours to claim your prize.

Huge Indoor Garage Sale~Saturday May 1st~Tomorrow!

For all you local readers, there is a huge indoor garage sale happening at Bonnycastle School tomorrow. It starts at 9:oo and goes until 1:00, admission is free. There will be a canteen open selling Timmy's coffee, muffins and for you die hards like me Coke and chips. For the first time, there will be a vendor selling tasty sweets! Fudge, candied apples and more~ coke, chips, candied apple sounds like a well balanced Mom breakfast to me!!

With the rain we have been having, its perfect time to shop indoors for some great deals, hope to see you there~Bonnycastle School 1100 Chancellor.

The 411 on Gymboree

I love Gymboree - it is by far my favourite children's clothing store and I love to share my madness. I can't tell you how overjoyed I was when last night at parent-teacher conferences my daughter's teacher looked at K's fairy shirt and said "I have the same shirt for my daughter - it's adorable!". I didn't let her know the depth of my Gymbo obsession (so Mrs. H if you're reading, the secret is out!)

For the average person walking into Gymboree, the store seems incredibly expensive, but like most stores, there is a secret to the sales and while I'd say my youngest daughter's wardrobe is 90% Gymbo, I never spend much money on her clothing.


I started this Blog to share these secrets with you - so if you're Gymbo obsessed keep coming back to find out how to make this store work for you!

Now - for all of the latest Gymbo information!!

The Gymbuck Redemption line (Mid July) is the back to school line.

The theme is horses, which we just saw in Malibu Cowgirl, but for us pony lovers, it's not a bad theme to repeat!!  The colours for this line are lavender and chocolate. *swoon*

The Baby girl line has the most adorable outfit with a lavender tutu, a white t-shirt with a pony, flowered leggings and the absolute cutest moccasins. I am not a fan of the everyday tutu, but we will be buying the rest! The moccasins would look adorable paired with skinny jeans.

The boy line is ... you guessed it, skulls again. I'm not a boy Mom so I don't know how you think about it, but it seems sooo overdone to me! There is also a cowboy line coming out.

Now - on to the sales!! As always, it's Gymbuck Earning time. Pretty much as soon as redemption ends, we're back in an earning period now. For those who don't know what Gymbucks are, you earn 1 Gymbuck for every $50 you spend and then for 2 weeks you can redeem those Gymbucks for $25 off a $50 purchase, so basically it works out to 25% off if I'm doing my math right. (I'm no math whiz, correct me if I'm wrong!)


The next "sale" should be the knits sale, where all knit tanks and shorts are $7.99. Not exactly sure when this is but it should be before circle of friends, which means it should be very soon! I will post as soon as I have more info!


Circle of Friends (30% off, it's a coupon so you can't combine another coupon with it) is May 13th to May 16th.


That's all for now - but keep checking back!

Today is the last day to enter the Lennah Designs giveaway that we blogged about here.

If you made some entries but skipped others (becoming a fan on Facebook, following on Twitter, etc.) take the time to go and do those and earn some extra entries.

Even if you're not a nursing Mom, this necklace would make a beautiful gift for anyone, especially for Mother's Day.

Also, remember we have an exclusive 15% off coupon code for you, and since the beautiful, trendy necklaces start at just $20.00 (Canadian!) with FREE SHIPPING, there is no reason not to do some Mother's Day shopping, go ahead, treat yourselves - you deserve it. ;) The coupon code is "stylebymommy" and is valid until May 30th!
