Meghan's Mindless Mutterings: Reviews & Giveaways

Valentines Day. It will be here before you know it. This year, I vow to make it different. I vow to ...acknowledge it. Yes...I do not care for the holiday. This year I am doing it up big...at least with a card. Sometimes I do not express my love for the Bobster. Sure I say it but I don't think he really gets it. So I want to make sure he knows. I was checking out Treat.com  to see their fun & perfect cards. What I like most about Treat.com  is you can personalize their cards...with whatever you want it to say.  Whatever. You. Want. It. To. Say.  Oh this leaves the door open for me in more ways than one! Of course, you can add a photo...this is one of my favs that I found over there: Of course, if you can't figure out what to write, you can visit their Message Library that will help with the words you just can't think of. Check out this card...perfect for the kids to give Dad: Guess what else? You can access Treat via your i-Phone: Trea...

I was recently given the opportunity to review the book " Pretty " by Jillian Lauren . Here's what " Pretty " is all about: Bebe Baker is an ex-everything: ex-stripper, ex-Christian, ex-drug addict, ex-pretty girl. It’s been one year since the car accident that killed her boyfriend left her scarred and shaken. Flanked by an eccentric posse of friends, she is serving out a self-imposed sentence at a halfway house, while trying to finish cosmetology school.  Amid the rampant diagnoses, over-medication, compulsive eating, and acrylic nails of Los Angeles, Bebe looks for something to believe in before something–her past, the dangerously magnetic men in her life, her own bad choices–knocks her off course again. For me, " Pretty " is not so pretty.  It's a gritty story that has you right in the middle of the drama pretty much from page one.  It's an easy read but not easy enough that you don't stop thinking of Bebe when you put ...

I made a little vlog to introduce you all to Tiny Prints . Love them. With my first real Back to School this year I am looking for traditions to start with Cheeks. I am planning on taking his pic with him holding a sign or a quote bubble stating his school year. I am finding it hard to realize my 11 pounder that I brought home is this skinny little 5 year old heading to Kindergarten. So how do I compound these feelings...shopping of course. Check this out: So check Tiny Prints out! *Disclaimer: This is a compensated post. All opinions are 100% mine*

How is it possible that my baby, the baby I waited so long to have, will be graduating preschool in a month? He's only 4 1/2...when did he turn that age? Im excited for him. Worried about all the normal school worries that come with sending your child off to school. I never imagined he would grow up in such a short time. Really, 4 1/2 years is like a blink of the eye. Sigh. Of course, I want to let my family know he will be graduating. It's a big step for him. No longer a baby. In big boy school like his brothers...at least that is what he tells me. Then I tear up. Anyway, thankfully Tiny Prints has some of the cutest announcements, cards etc around. Tiny Prints provides stylish, modern and unique graduation stationery including graduation announcements , graduation invitations ,and thank you cards for teens. When graduation season has come and gone Tiny Prints will still be here to fill all your stationery needs with their exclusive designs from the nation...
