Behind the Scenes Magic and a Fun Offer from Kiwi Crate

I'm working away behind the scenes on the all new Best Baby Sites {soon to be Giggle Hearts}. Things are coming along and it looks like {if all goes as planned} I will be launching the brand new look and site next week. It's almost time to throw the confetti!!! I am so excited for this launch and all that is being planned for you and myself. I'll be doing things I've never done before and to be honest, I cannot wait! {even though they make me nervous}.

To get the celebration underway - I'm offering you a Giggle Hearts Fun Pack at the introductory price of just $10 {shipping included, US residents only at this time}. These Fun Packs will be filled with handmade surprises to make your day{s} be filled with giggles, love and sparkles. If you pre-order your Giggle Hearts Fun Pack now, you will receive yours shortly after the new site launches so you can celebrate with me. Who's In?

Daily Boutique Deals from Jane.com {Party Decor, Stylish Clothes + Gift Ideas}

Are you a huge fan of daily deal sites? There are many out there, but one of my favorites is Jane.com - the prices are amazing and the shipping is usually very reasonable. The deals on this site {which range from clothing to jewelry to hair accessories and everything in between} are for a limited number of days and some items do sell out. When placing your order you will be able to see how long it will take before shipping {this is great when shopping for gifts or holidays}. There is another deal site that I used to shop at all the time, Zulily, but lately they never even make their 12-16 day shipping time frame, which makes gift buying super hard. At, Jane.com, I've never had a shipping problem and the items actually have often arrived even before I expected them to. Below are just some of the items that are currently available but they do end within a day or two and lots of new deals are added each day. Jane.com now also has a mobile app for easy shopping on the go.

tissue poms from Jane.com {$6.95 for a set of 3 various sizes}

huge hairbows from Jane.com - $2.99 each {6-6 1/2"} - many sizes to choose from w/alligator clips

If you are planning a Frozen themed birthday party or have a girl or two {like me} that loves anything and everything Frozen, then these deals are for you.

Disney Frozen Princess Beach Towel from Jane.com - $14.99

Ice Princess Glitter Wand from Jane.com - $6.99

Rainbow Meringues : Fluffy as a Cloud Dessert

I am in love with these rainbow meringues from Sprinkle Bakes. Since I just revealed the brand new logo for the re-vamped Best Baby Sites that will be launching super soon, I had to share this dessert which is a perfect match. In case you missed seeing the new logo, please see Monday's post here. If you head over to Heather's blog you will see her recipe for these rainbow meringues, along with how she served them atop ice cream cones filled with chocolate ganache. YUM!!! Ice Cream Party anyone?

Stepping Outside of My Comfort Zone and a Sneak Peek at the New Logo and Site Name

As I get ready to launch the all new Best Baby Sites with a brand new name and focus - I have totally stepped outside of my comfort zone. I am getting ready to create something I have NEVER done before . . . videos. OMG - I can't even believe I just wrote that! But, I plan to start creating and sharing DIY crafts that you can create with your children and have lots of fun doing so. Many of these crafts will be able to created using items you already have in your house. I have my very first video already created and you will not only hear what the first craft will be, but you will get a sneak peek at the brand new site name and logo. I nervously hit publish on this post, but the video is now live so there's no turning back. My new venture has started, so please join me :)

And, now here's a sneak peek at the new logo {and name}. The new site is expected to launch within one to two weeks. I cannot wait for all the fun that I have planned . . .

Changes {happy ones} are coming . . .

Just wanted to quickly pop in to let you know that some wonderful changes are going to be taking place on this blog very soon since this site won't be just about babies anymore. I plan to cover everything from pregnancy thru the elementary years now that I have taken ownership. It's now going to be all about Crafting Childhood Memories {with paper and food}. My brain is swirling with so many ideas and I am now going thru and organizing the categories so you can easily find what you are looking for right in the site header. Two categories have already been put in place - Party Ideas and Recipes. See you back here next week when I plan to reveal the new name and logo . . . in the meantime - let's celebrate a little early with 15 Super Sprinkle Party Ideas from Babble.
