New Giveaway! 2 ties from RokGear! You pick...

GIVEAWAY FROM ROKGEAR!

Looking back at my wedding, there is NO DOUBT that RokGear was the biggest thing to "tie" it all together... (get it... lame pun, sorry, lol) I really went out of my way to blend both the classy and pretty w/ the punk rock.. And from what everyone has said... I did a great job. But one HUGE aspect what the guys' ties... Skull & Damask print on red ties (zaq's was on white). They were PERFECTION!
See?!?


Weren't we a sexy group!?



Both my guys & girls in black... with each just a pop of red... they looked phenomenal.
Classic... simple... and sexy... LOVE IT!

Alright, alright... thats enough blabbing and picture sharing... Everyone knows how much I love RokGear :) Now let me tell you about all the reasons why...
#1: They have been printing ties since 1995, OMG! Now thats dedication & Experience...
They started etsy just over a year ago and are totally "Rok'n" it...
#2: No clip art... You not gunna find the graphic to these ties floating on Photobucket...
"You will not find our neckties or designs on any department store shelf, we do not wholesale if you purchase a Rokgear design, necktie, t-shirt a print in general, It is directly from our Burbank Studio.
Not that we don't get hundreds of offers from vendors wanting our items, at RokGear customer service is all about the "Customer" and we can't rely on a third party vendor to take care of our customers." #3: THEY'RE ECO FRIENDLY!! "Water based ink screenprinting contains neither PVC nor phthalates making them an environmentally friendly choice. Water based ink ingredients are non-toxic, lead-free and do not contain any heavy metals. As such, they are safe for use on infant clothing, underwear and swimsuits."
#4: Options... sooo many options... Pick your color... pick your size (length and width... ... ... ... ;) ... pick your print... the combinations just go on and on and on... theres something for everyone...
#5: even more combinations... You can choose from Silk tie or Microfiber. We chose microfiber for the wedding. Its super easy to clean... the colors are just as great... still had a beautiful shine... and they're cheaper! For us it was a GREAT investment...
#6: The right size for everyone... On average an 8" tie may fit a boy up to about 2 or 3 years old, an 11" tie up to about 5 or 6 and a 14" up to about 10 or 11. For adults... A standard necktie is 3.75" wide at it's widest point and 57" long.
#7: They love RockerByeBaby, too.... ;) http://www.rokgear.com/Featured-Etsy-Shop.php
...
I could go on and on about all the amazing things coming out of RokGear... but you just have to see for yourself... And yes of course... one of you will get the chance to win... not one, but TWO MICROFIBER TIES... of your choice... You can choose one of two things... Either a matching father/son set... (1 adult tie & 1 kids tie... ) or two kids ties... You choose the size... color... and print... Pick your color from this amazing list... And shop till you drop on the website and etsy shop to see ALLLLLL the amazing print options ;)

Another Review! A lifesaver... FREE LEG WARMERS FROM KNOTTY BABY WEAR!

Hey all!
Thanks for always coming back to check us out.
I have the best readers ever!
Now that the sappy part is over, its time for the fun stuff!

KNOTTY BABY WEAR!
www.knottybabywear.etsy.com

So, were working on potty training with izzaq...
every mommy... and yes, daddy's too...
know that its a challenge.
So you gotta find the easiest way possible...
When I was little, we ran around naked...
with a potty in the middle of the room...
it worked! So thats what we do with Izzaq...
But he has to be naked... if he is wearing pants, he has an accident.
Well, we live in Minnesota... and it doesnt matter how high the heat is cranked.
Those hard wood floors and the leather couch is always chilly.
These leg warmers were the absolute perfect solution.
They allow for izzaq to be mostly naked, with his "bits" to be exposed, haha
So, no wrestling off pants or underwear...
he's just always ready whenever he needs to go.
And best of ll, he doesnt need my help!!!
See!?!?

Most importantly, they keep him warm...
Theyre even great for Zavery too!

He loves to sit on the floor and watch tv...
They love the be naked...
and these leg warmers keep them pants less and happy...
They even work on arms to go under short sleeves!
Girls, boys... toddlers, infants, or as knee socks for a little lady under a skirt or tutu!
Everyone needs a pair of these...
and Knotty Baby Wear as given us a pair for you too!
Basic black and white skulls...
girls, boys... and unisex for the bun in the oven!


So thats it... you gotta have a pair... try to win them...
and if you dont, go buy em... $8 and she even has a ton on sale for just $6
they're so cheap... and SOOOOO worth every penny...
Everyone has that in their budget... I have 3 pairs! haha

Check out her shop...
www.KnottyBabyWear.etsy.com
She has more that just the leg warmers.
Recently she started making these ADORABLE t's and onesies...
with skull and crossbones appliques...
Crazy wild prints, bright colors... just amazing...

Leave us a comment about your favorite Item from her shop...
and why you need/want these leg warmers.
