Mrs.V & Me... Monster Love...
Dare I be as cheesy as saying - I could FEEL the love packed into this box?
Yes, super cheesy, but true...
The other day we got an amazing Package from MrsVandMe
(www.MrsVandMe.etsy.com)
I opened the box and my 2 year old came running over, scrunched down... and said...
AWEEEEEEE MAMAMAAAAAAA.... in his adorable whiny toddler voice...
(He must have heard me open the Michelle Chang package :)
So instantly he snatched up the blue and orange one...
blue and orange what you ask?
Only the most amazing stuffed monsters Ive ever seen, named Trip and Grip.

Trip is approximately 13 inches wide and 22" tall from the top of his pointy head to the tip of his three-legged toes.
And Grip measures 25.5" from head to toe and 10" from side to side (not including his arms)
They are so big and squishy and absolutely amazing... and machine washable!
She sells the pair for $52.95 or a single one for $30.95.
The are worth even so much more. To find something similar... check out UglyDolls...
They have a similar design idea... same price... about HALF the size...
are mass produced... are made with ZERO love... and absolutely no originality...
So rather than being disappointed... be completely blown away like I was...
These photos do not do trip & Grip justice You really just have to love on them to understand just how awesome they are... and their so friendly and well behaved too!
Look at him here...
Sitting with the boys watching tv before bed...

and here...

Waiting patiently for his kiss goodnight... what a good monster :)

This WEEK! A RockerByeBaby Review!
I feel giving today...
SO!
This week... Free RockerByeBaby!
Im giving away a free set of Japanese Kawaii Booger Bashers!!
They are awesome black with pink and turquoise skull and crossbones on it.
Totally unisex so snatch them up!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23368646

The listing info :)
So, the boys have a cold...
its horrific... ill spare you the green crusty/slimy details :) haha
But the point here is... their little tiny noses get RAW using tissues...
not to mention were just trashing the environment using a kleenex once and tossing it...
THINK ECO-FRIENDLY!!!
But, I assure you people... there IS a better way...
These have been tested this week...
GROSS NO NOT THESE SPECIFICALLY!!
DIFFERENT ONES!! THESE ARE NEW!!!!!!
and I call them Booger Bashers...
known to others here on etsy as Swipers...
They are little mini tissues... about 4 x 6.5 inches...
with JAPANESE IMPORT KAWAII cotton on one side...
and soft and snuggly on the other...
Wipe with whatever side you choose...
Cotton is still plenty soft... or the other side works just as well...
Same idea as a handkerchief... use it... use it... use it... GOO! then WASH IT!!!
No special rules... wash... dry...
Then go off on your hunt for more Boogers that need Bashing.
You get 2 in a pack... now thats alot of BOOGIES!
Leave me a comment with your favorite new stuff in the shop!
So there ya have it! Review will run until Monday!
2 ways to get extra entries!!

BUUUZZZZZz Who wants a happy baby? I DO I DO!!
Saying that today was a rough day...
would be an understatement...
Crabby, fussy babies... allllll day...
napped terrible... hardly ate...
and to top it all off.
Our saving grace of getting them out of the house couldnt happen.
It was cold and rainy all day. :(
Sad mama...
And just as my head was about to start spinning in circles...
EUREKA!
I remembered I had to do tonights review and we could FINALLY
use our new toy from HappyBabeeandBeeyond...
see here: www.HappyBabeeandBeeyond.etsy.com
Ive been dying to get one of these...
and I was gunna buy them for christmas, and put it off...
bought some chunky toddler crayons instead...
(which turned out to be more of a snack and a fight with my 1 year old... haha)
I shoulda just bought these.

The boys LOVED it...
I dunno what magical powers she sews into the seams.
(the perfectly straight seams i might add)
But somehow it is WAY cooler than just a pack of crayons...
I pulled it out, and the boys were silent...
colored... had fun... and mommy could breathe...
Happy Baby... yeah - she chose the perfect name.
They open up to be the perfect little crayon holster...
and roll up tight to toss in a bag... a drawer... where ever...
and keep all your crayons nice and tidy.

Mess free, clutter free, drama free... just the way I like it...
And once again. Made with one of my favorite prints... Goth Baby Skulls.
So cute... and totally unisex.
Check it out... They loved it..
I couldnt choose a favorite photo...
so I chose them all :)
My little lefty - coloring mama a picture...

and hiding from a picture..... haha

and so happy to have a new toy... that he is even hugging his little brother...

**sibling loving & hugging results not guaranteed, hahaha**
So, scoot over to her shop...
www.HappyBabeeandBeeyond.etsy.com
and scroll through all the pages...
cuz she has a TON of rockin stuff...
LOTS of different punky prints...
And tell us your favorites...
to be entered to win another of the same crayon roll up shown...

Free Giveaway this week for the babies... baby daddies or mommies!
RATHINA RATHINA RATHINA!
www.rathina.etsy.com
Best $5 Ive spent in awhile...
Rathina makes these AWESOME light switch plate covers...
Remember in grade school? Maybe even high school.
Hodgepodging magazine clippings onto everything in sight?
Well, I used to glue them down to light switch plates to add a little spice to my room
Problem was, I used elmers glue and they frayed and peeled and were permanently sticky.
grossss!
So, needless to saw, switch plate covers were not my specialty... haha
But, they definitely are Rathinas.
So, I had completely forgotten about the idea of those plate covers...
until seeing Rathina in a chat room once.
Her splatter skull plate popped up...
Only $5
and my thoughts... OMG I HAVE TO HAVE THAT FOR THE BOYS' ROOM!!!!
So i got it and I LOVEEE it...

its adds the perfect splash of punk to something usually completely boring.
The quality is amazing...
VERY well made... the fabric is completely sealed, pulled tight, and not going anywhere.
They also come with an extra set of screws, just in case :)
She makes them in all different kinds of prints...
skulls (yay), sports, baby, Western, Astrology, food, and more...
for every type of room you could imagine...
and in ALL different plate styles...
The regular Single switch plate, Double, Decora, and even Outlet covers!
And I even bet, if you asked her really really nicely, she would probably make you something custom as well.
Shes super nice, super friendly... and you should scoot over to her shop RIGHT now to buy a plate.
Now, if you dont have it in the budget... (MAKE ROOM! haha)
But really, if your dying for a Rathina plate, and just cant swing it...
leave us a comment here at the blog and be entered to win a FREE pirate plate.

Leave one comment for one entry.... tell us what you like about her shop...
what you would love to have... or if you have any already!
For an extra entry, blog, bulletin, myspace, facebook, twitter, whatever you can think to do...
