P.S. What Makes You Smile

I speak often about my treks to Tanger Outlet in Locust Grove to do some of that discount shopping that I do. One of the places that I frequent for shirts and pants for my son is P.S. from Aéropostale, a brand that caters to elementary school aged children.

P.S. from Aéropostale is currently running their second annual “What Makes You Smile T-shirt Contest” which is targeted towards children in grades 1-5. A winner will be selected from each grade. The top 100 finalists for each grade will be decided by public vote with the final winners being selected by P.S. experts.

The winners will have $1,000 donated to their school, and brand new P.S. t-shirts for their school’s entire student body. The winner will also receive a $500 P.S. from Aéropostale gift card and a quantity of their t-shirt design printed for distribution to their family and friends. In addition the winning designs will be featured on mannequins in P.S. windows during the month of March.

Winners will be announced in December with school presentations taking place in February and March.

Please visit pswhatmakesyousmile.com for entry form and template. Entries must be in by October 31, 2012. Voting will run from November 1-15, 2012.

As an added bonus I will be hosting an event at the P.S. from Aéropostale location at Tanger Outlet in Locust Grove this Thursday, October 25 from 4-6. If you are on the southside please come by and have your child complete their entry to get in the running!!!

This and That Thursday

Here’s some randoms..

Okay. Addison has turned into this diva child over night. I don’t know where it came from but I am daily finding myself trying to mask laughter while attempting to scold her for some of her ridiculous and mean behavior. Lately all of the pictures I have been taking of her look like this…I wonder where she gets it from

My son is doing really well in school. He is reading on a 5th grade level. I went and visited a private school that is not far from our new house. I fell in love with it. Although we don’t know how we will pay for it, we are going to let him test in and figure it out later…Faith anyone?

I am finally coming to grips with the fact that a new Divinitee line will have to be put off until the Spring. I just can’t make the money appear and with the astronomical amount of money that we have to come up with for the new house right now I don’t see it…I am finally fine with that.

I am getting a lot of new opportunities for this here blog. I am turning down some things but you will start to see a few more giveaways and sponsored posts. If I am presented something that I am interested in or is child centric I am going to bring it here with the thought that you might be interested in it as well. NOPE this will not become a giveaway/review blog, but what kind of cyber home girl would I be if I didn’t share good and useful information/products with you?!!

I am on the hunt for a pair of printed leggings. Preferably a pair that make me look “thick.”

One of our cars will be paid off next month!!! OMG, I talked all that mess about driving it until the wheels fall off and saving up half of the money for our next car purchase and now I can’t wait until we close on the house so I can get a new car…I know.

I am back to my old ways. I was doing good and then last week alone I bought a whopping 12 bottles of nail polish…and the cycle starts again. Every time I go in the store I have to buy a new bottle. Since I am so passionate about nail polish be on the look out Mondays for my link up where you can come and show off your newest manicure. Be ready on Monday okay?!

The baby is sick with a runny nose and a cough. We were up all last night and guess what…I feel the tingle in my throat. :-/

What’s been going on in your world?

The WotWots Giveaway

Prior to being contacted to do this giveaway I had heard of The WotWots in passing but had never watched the show. So just in case you are wondering what in the world a WotWot is let me school you.

The WotWots are an alien brother and sister duo that land in the New Zealand zoo in a spacecraft and set about exploring and learning about the animals. The show looks to encourage preschool children to learn and discover new things and their surroundings. Through SpottyDot and WottyDots adventures children learn that although they may not always get everything right the first time, but the beauty instead lies in trying and using their knowledge to be creative.

Kindness and co-operation are also stressed as core values through which we learn to get along with others. Appreciation and care of animals along with learning new words and finding new ways to explore creativity daily are just a few of the concepts delivered through the adventures of The WotWots.

The WotWots air in the US on The Hub channel. To locate other broadcasting options available in other countries the information can be found on the official WotWots web page

With Christmas right on our heels, gift giving is a priority. The makers of The WotWots have been so kind as to offer me the opportunity to give one of you the chance to win a plush WotWot toy.

Giveaway ends next Thursday. Good Luck!!!

$75 Zutano Children’s Clothing Giveaway

I posted earlier about my opportunity to get up close and personal with children’s clothing brand Zutano while in New York for Blogher.

Upon my return I was sent these lovely pieces for Addison.

Her shoes aren't Zutano

She is wearing: Pool Toddler Boddice Jacket, and Fuschia Toddler Skinny Legging (shirt is from the spring line and is no longer online)

What I love most about this brand is how colorful and fun it is. The pieces are easily mixed and matched allowing you to create a number of outfits from just a few pieces. From leggings/socks to nursery decor, Zutano offers fun options for today’s child.

The wonderful folks over at Zutano are giving one of you, my fab readers $75 to spend with their brand. Clothing is for boys and girls and range in size from Preemie to 4T

Giveaway ends next Tuesday. GOOD LUCK!!!
