Eleven Collection Shoes - Review and Giveaway - closed

Kids are always on the go; running, skipping, climbing, and playing- so they need shoes that are made for all of life's adventures. Eleven Collection designs shoes with this in mind, making kid friendly shoes that are durable, well made, and completely sweet. Their shoes feature flexible rubber soles and soft leather uppers making them ultra comfortable and supportive for growing feet. Stop by and have a look at their great shoes, I'm sure you will find something that is just perfect for your little traveler.


Eleven Collection shoes are not only functional and healthy for growing feet- but they are also really adorable. I love a cute pair of shoes (ok I have an addiction to cute shoes) and Eleven Collection offers a huge selection of beautiful, classic, and stylish designs for both boys and girls. They have shoes for every occasion and I love all the bright and fun colors.

I was actually first drawn to Eleven Collection shoes when my daughters growing feet made me realize that she would soon outgrow one of our favorite brands- See Kai Run. I started to look into it a little and discovered that See Kai Run has a sister company { Eleven Collection} that offers the same well made, flexible soled shoes, but in size to fit kids ages 3-8. I'm so happy to be able to find similar styles and quality that I trust, but in larger sizes.

I was sent the most adorable summer sandals for my little toddler from Eleven Collection's new summer/spring collection - the Sabrina in Plum. The lovely plum color and scalloped straps are so pretty and the design makes them perfect for summer. They are completely breathable, feature a cushioned insole for comfort, and they have sturdy non-slip soles to keep my little one on her feet. I am also really impressed by how well made these shoes are. My kids can be really rough on their shoes (especially in the summer months when we spend so much time outdoors), and although these sandals look girly they are built tough.

Eleven Collection Shoes are not only kid friendly, but they are also very parent friendly. I love that they have an adjustable velcro closure for a perfect fit and easy on/off. They are very easy to care for and keep clean. I just use a damp cloth to wipe them down and they look as good as new. Our little strappy Sabrina sandals are also really versatile; my little one can wear them for family hikes and to friend's weddings. If you are looking for a well made versatile summer sandal, I completely recommend the Sabrina Sandals from Eleven Collection.

Sabrina Plum Sandals at a glance:
-Premium leather uppers.
-Instant comfort: no wear-in period.
-Durable, flexible rubber sole for active kids.
-Cushioned insole and padded collar for extra comfort.
-Adjustable Velcro closures make shoes easy to get on and ensure a great fit.


Shop: Eleven Collection Shoes are available in sizes 9-3 can be bought online or at these great retailers across the US and Canada. The Sabrina Sandals reviewed above retail for 46.00 US.

CSN Stores ~ $45 Gift Certificate Giveaway- CLOSED

We are in the midst of selling our small home and buying a bigger place that will fit our family better. Before we listed we did a bunch of small home improvements to add appeal and make our home more desirable to buyers. While searching out the best prices online for home renovation items I came across CSN Stores. This huge online mall offers great prices and they carry everything from track lighting to hardwood flooring. Their home improvement selection is truly awe inspiring and I can pretty much guarantee that you will find something that will be perfect for your home.

Although I first discovered CSN Stores while looking for items for the home, they really carry just about anything you can imagine. CSN Stores offers their customers more than 200 stores, easy shopping, and great customer service. They also offer free shipping (within the US) on many items. As I mentioned their selection is amazing with specialty shops such as CSNbaby.com,  CSNLighting.com. cookware.com, strollers.com, and outdoorrugs.com. If you are looking for one stop shopping, that you don't even have to leave your living room for, you have to visit CSN Stores.

CSN Stores is committed to helping parents find the best deals on everything they need for their little ones. They have a CSN Stores Parent Club where they offer members 10% savings on everything on their site, as well as access to member exclusive deals and giveaways. Right now CSN Stores is offering FREE memberships (a 39.99 value) with purchase. I know many of you are in the market for car-seats and strollers, and CSN Stores has a great selection and very low prices- especially when you can take an additional 10% off. They carry all of my favorite brands including including BOB Revolution, Britax, Cosco, and Bumbleride (which ships free- yay). They even carry pages and pages of one of my girls favorite things - Plan Toys.
I love that CSN Stores has made a shift towards being green minded. They offer promotions, giveaways, and information pages to encourage energy conservation and being more eco-friendly. They have recently teamed up with Do Your Part to create a  Green and Clean Bathroom Bailout page where you can learn how to make your bathroom more planet friendly, enter a giveaway to win a green bathroom make-over, and find links to great eco-friendly bathroom items from CSN Stores. As well, I have been really happy with the huge selection and low prices CSN Stores offers on organic and eco-friendly items.  Here are just a couple of the earth friendly items I've put on my to-buy list at CSN Stores;  Seed Organic Cradle, Eco-tots stoolOrganic Bummis Diapers, and Earth Pan eco cookware.
Shop: Everything mentioned above and so much more can be found online at CSN Stores. They offer free or very reasonable shipping, and most items ship to Canada.

The Giveaway: CSN Stores has offered to give one of my readers a $45 gift certificate that you can use in any of their 200+ stores.


To Enter: Visit CSN Stores and have a look around, then comment below with what you might spend your gift certificate on. (this first entry is mandatory and must be completed before any additional entries)

Zehn Naturals Review and Giveaway ~ Two Winners {with a 25% discount}

As many of you already know I love organic Tees. When the temperatures start to warm- I pretty much live in them. In my search for some new tees for summer I came across Zehn Naturals. They make really cute 100% organic tees for the whole family. Zehn Naturals is kind to the earth too- in addition to using only certified organic cotton, they use wind power to make several of their t-shirts and they plant a tree for every t-shirt that they sell- beautiful!
What first attracted me to Zehn Naturals was their wonderful messages that really speak to me. The messages are gentle, yet bring awareness to causes that are near and dear to my heart such as endangered animals, being green, peace, and eating locally. I like graphic tees that spread the word about things that are important to me and Zehn Naturals original prints are perfect. Some of my favorite Zehn Naturals tees are the Locally Grown Tee, the Turtle Tee, the Bee Kind Tee, and the kids Cool to be Green Tee.

We had the chance to try out the beautiful 'Save Our Seas' T-shirt and it has become my oldest daughters favorite tee. I originally ordered it for myself, but she completely fell in love with it. It features three sea turtles and a great message that she is really passionate about. Her Zehn Naturals tee has all the ingredients for the perfect t-shirt: it has a great cut, unique graphics, is incredibly soft and comfortable, and it gets softer with each wash. I also love that her Zehn Naturals tee is printed with safe water based ink.

Zehn Naturals is a company that is making the world a better place one t-shirt at a time. They share many of my own values, and I feel great supporting them. Zehn Naturals goes beyond organic with many green business practices that have allowed them to maintain a carbon neutral business (learn more here). Another sweet eco-conscious touch- all t-shirt tags are plant-able: made with recycled cotton embedded with flower seeds. Zehn Naturals also gives back and donates 10% of profits to benefit education, arts, health-care and the environment.

Shop: All the wonderful tees seen above and many more can be found online at Zehn Naturals or at these wonderful retailers. Zehn Naturals offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee and Free Shipping. Zehn Naturals is also offering a 25% discount to my readers, so cool!!! Just use the code blog25.


The Giveaway: Zehn Naturals has generously offered me two t-shirts to giveaway: a women's large Zero Emissions Tee and a women's large Locally Grown Tee - So I will be drawing two winners!

To Enter: Visit Zehn Naturals and have a look at all of their cute tee's. Then comment below with your favorite t-shirt design as well as what your choice will be if you win -black zero emissions or white locally grown.(this first entry is mandatory and must be completed before addition entries will count)

Habitat Shoe Boutique Review

Like almost every other women I know - I really love shoes. I get giddy at the sight of a cute wedge or strappy sandals, and don't even get me started on boots-gush. Well warm weather always gets me ready for shoe shopping and I have found a wonderful new online shop with hundreds of crush worthy shoes- Habitat Shoes. This family run online shoe boutique carries beautiful and stylish shoes and offers a wonderful shopping experience.

Habitat Shoes carries a beautiful and well thought out selection of shoes. Only the best brands and most gorgeous styles make the cut, giving Habitat a very intimate feel and saving a lot of time. Unlike many online shoe stores- you wont get lost sifting through hundreds of  pages of shoes. Even though the selection is smaller than some shoe stores, I found I love pretty much every pair they carry. I am actually completely lusting after about 20 pairs of their shoes- here are some of my favorites:  

Habitat Shoes has created an online boutique that makes shoe shopping easy and relaxing. Their motto is 'Relax Your Shopping' and this has really rung true to my experience with Habitat. With three kids shoe shopping can be anything but relaxing- but browsing Habitat Shoes has been a welcome departure for me. I can shop with a cup of tea while the kids are napping upstairs - so nice. The site is laid out beautifully, with many browsing options, great shoe descriptions, and detailed pictures. Habitat Shoes also offers easy returns, great customer service, and will even special order shoes if they are out of your size.

I was sent the most beautiful pair of sandals from Habitat Shoes- the new Cocobelle Victoria. These shoes are so lovely with detailed turquoise bead work down the front. The style is also stunning; they have a Grecian goddess look that is both worldly and hip. These shoes are not only so pretty, but they are also very comfortable. The soft leather straps keep the shoes in place and the leather sole and foot-bed make the shoe breathable and flexible. I have been wearing mine a ton and they feel great and I get so many compliments on them. I completely recommend the Cocobelle Victoria Sandals and Habitat Shoes.


Shop: All of the styles seen above, as well as so many other gorgeous shoes can be bought online at Habitat Shoes. They also carry some really cool clothes and Accessories.

Connect With Habitat: To stay up to date on Habitat Shoes latest styles and sales sign up for their e-mails and find them on facebook.

Essential Swimwear Review and Giveaway - CLOSED

Its bathing suit shopping time again- ahhh. For me this means wrangling a toddler into a tiny stall and trying on suits as quickly as possible. I inevitable have to try on about 50, and still rarely find one that fits my shape.When I do managed to find flattering suits, I am often bowled over by the $100 plus price tag- yikes. I usually leave the store defeated and exhausted. Well my dread is a thing of the past now that I have discovered Essential Swimwear. This wonderful online shop features beautiful and reasonably priced suits, and has made shopping for a swimsuit fun and easy.
Essential Swimwear designs their swimwear to be comfortable, stylish and flattering to a woman's body. Brittney, the awesome lady behind Essential Swimwear, actually started hand-making swimwear because she was frustrated that she could never find the perfect swimsuit. Soon everyone she knew wanted a handmade swimsuit and her business blossomed. She spent 2 years designing suits and fitting hundreds of women. Brittney no longer hand sews her suits, but she does design them with the wealth of knowledge that these two years gave her. Her suits are made to fit real women's bodies and super cute too.
My experience with Essential Swimwear has been a great one. I have never ordered a swimsuit online before, but their simple size chart and the fact that I was able to order my tops and bottoms separately made it completely painless. The shipping at Essential Swimwear is also quick and inexpensive, and they offer rushed delivery for bathing suit emergencies.

The Tankini is a moms best friend- its definitely the most flattering on most bodies, mine included. Essential Swimwear has a wonderful selection of Tankini tops. I actually found about 5 that I wanted, but settled on the Starry Night Gathered Halter Top. This gathered tank is very slimming, with bust ruching and gathered sides. I especially love the extra long length of this suit- no more tugging at my suit to keep my belly covered. The bust of this suit features top and bottom elastic and holds everything in perfectly. I also ordered the Black Hipster bottoms, and they are so cute and flattering. This is the first suit I've had in years that I felt comfortable strutting my stuff in, and I completely recommend Essential Swimwear.

Shop: The swimsuits seen here as well as several other cute, flattering, and modest suits can be purchased online at Essential Swimwear. You can also earn freebies and swimwear discounts by hosting a swimwear party- so fun!

The Giveaway- Essential Swimwear has offered to give one of my readers a swimsuit - your choice of size and style.

Neerg Organics Review and Giveaway

I love Eco-Fashion and I am always pleased to discover new clothing designers that are as passionate about the environment as they are about Fashion. Neerg Organic is one such designer. Neerg Organic designs organic and eco-friendly clothes that are stylish, beautiful, and kind to our planet. They have a great line of cute organic graphic tees and a new high fashion line that is amazing.
I am in love with Neerg's new 2010 Summer line, it features modern romantic pieces that are just gorgeous. Each item is beautifully crafted and really takes eco-fashion to the next level. Neerg's new line is compiled of uniquely fresh and airy dresses and tops are perfect for summer. I honestly am lusting after every item in this line! I especially love that everything is eco-friendly, made with  GOTS certified organic cotton and bamboo. Wearing Neerg is a great way to be green and ethical in your fashion choices.  
I'm crazy about ruffles, so I was thrilled when Neerg Organic sent me their new Ruffle Top to review. This blue top is so pretty and  features a unique ruffled neckline that is feminine and very hip. It is very flattering as well, with its tapered waste and cute cap sleeves. The blouse is made from airy organic cotton that feels great next to your skin and is nice and cool for summer. I have been wearing my top with jeans, but it would look really cute with a skirt too.
Whats in a name? The designers behind Neerg Organic were inspired by an evolution back to nature...a positive step backwards towards a more green life. Thus the name N-E-E-R-G (Green Backwards) was chosen for their ever evolving eco-fashion. For more info on Neerg Organic please visit their blog here, they also feature great giveaways from time to time.

Shop: Neerg can also be found in a growing number of boutiques around the globe. For more information please contact the designers.
The Giveaway: Neerg organics has offered to give one of my readers a Blue Ruffle Top, just like the one that I tried (in your choice of size).

Mon Petit Shoo ~ Review with a Discount and Giveaway - CLOSED

I love to wear hats and dress my daughters in hats, so I was thrilled to recently discover Mon Petit Shoo. This Canadian mom owned business features gorgeous, stylish, and unique handmade hats and accessories for young and old. She creates lovely items by crocheting with a wide variety of wools including many eco-friendly varieties like bamboo wool, corn wool, and soy wool. Mon Petit Shoo specializes in custom orders - and sells hats and accessories in their Etsy shop and through their fun facebook page.
Mon Petit Shoo was born out of one moms desire to help others in need - what a beautiful way to start a business. When Amanda Wray saw the devastation and suffering in the aftermath of the Haiti Earthquake she knew she had to do something to help; so she launched Hats4Haiti. This "crocheting for a cause" business had a beautifully simple plan- sell homemade hats for $10 and give half to charity. Although she was new to crocheting Amanada quickly honed her skills and was able to raise over 500$ to benefit the Canadian Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund- amazing! She continues to make Hats4Haiti, but is now focusing her creative energy on her new business Mon Petit Shoo.
I tried two amazingly cute and stylish brimmed hats with flowers from Mon Petit Shoo - a beautiful matching mother daughter set. I love how Amanda creatively made our hats match- without making them exactly the same. My daughter, who usually wont wear hats, loves her flower hat and actually asks to wear it. She also lights up when we wear them together, like most little girls she is thrilled to be able to match her mom. Mon Petit Shoo is actually currently taking orders for father/son hats and father/daughter hats that would be just perfect for fathers day.
Mon Petit Shoo's Brimmed Flower hats are so sweet and have a way of being classically romantic and Indie-unique at the same time. These hats definitely fit my personal style and I adore their page-boy meets flapper girl design. They are a blast to wear, are very well made, and they photograph beautifully. I find our brimmed hats are incredibly versatile too- cute with jeans or dresses and light-weight enough to wear all year round. My hat is also a complete must have for bad hair days.

Amanda Wray is the incredibly talented,  and awesome women behind Mom petit Shoo. This mom of three makes her lovely home-made hats in Vancouver, BC. Amanda is super creative and is always designing cool new items to add to her shop and to her facebook page. She began making only hats, but she has now branched out and is making beautiful scarves, wrist-warmers, leg warmers, and more. Amanda is a complete doll to work and  and she has a huge heart. I feel great supporting her business and completely recommend her hats to everyone I meet.
Shop: There are two ways to buy your own beautiful hand-made items from Mon Petit Shoo. You can either shop for pre-made items at her Etsy shop or order custom items. Custom orders are a great way to get a unique hat that really suites your own personal style. Mon Petit Shoo has a great explanation of custom orders as well as her price list here (her prices are very reasonable). If you follow Mon Petit Shoo on facebook she often posts photos of new styles and you can just send her a quick message telling her your size and color preferences and she will make a custom made hat just for you. Mon Petit Shoo makes cute and girly hats like the ones reviewed above, but she also makes a ton of other styles including  fun hats for little boys.
Discount: Mon Petit Shoo has offered Natural Mama readers 5$ off  their order by mentioning this review -yay!

The Giveaway: Amanda from Mon Petit Shoo has generously offered to make one of my readers a custom parent and child matching hat set (either mom/daughter, mom/son, dad/son or dad/daughter).
