CLAIRE!!! Claire has won $25 to use at MonkeeMoos.com! Congratulations!

claire said...I like the Liam Khaki Olive shoes. And of course the Daily Tea collection is adorable! Thanks for this fun giveaway-I would love to win!

Claire, be on the look out for an email from me. If you don't see it, check the spam box, a lot of time my monkeemoos emails go in there! Sorry I didn't get this posted last night. We had an insanely busy weekend!

Those of you who didn't win this time. We will start a new contest on May 1st, so be on the look out!!

When I brought my little bundle of joy home, I learned with the best of them to swaddle--often and tightly. But it seemed that my little girl also wanted to be close to me. So, I got the peanut shell sling and all was well in her world (and mine, of course). The Peanut Shell is a great baby sling and comes in the cutest prints as well as cotton and fleece options. After being recommended the micro fleece for newborns, I got a basic black so my husband could also carry and bond with her. Now, she is 23 pounds and we can still be close when I carry her on my hip!

Monkeemoos has the apple green sling micro fleece on sale right now, and there are other gorgeous, chic patterns to choose from! A sling not your babywearing style? Then don't forget to drop by Heavenly Hold to choose another type as well as enter their baby carrier contest for a free baby carrier valued to $100!

appaman number tees are back in stock

Back by popular demand! The number shirts are back in stock but they won't be here for long, I can promise you that. These tees tend to fly out the door as soon as I get them, so grab them before they are gone. Currently in stock are sage green, surf blue, and mulberry. What a great way to celebrate your little ones special day. These also make a great unique birthday gift! Charlie loves to get his new number shirt each year on his birthday!

Okay enough chatting here is a sneak preview of these awesome clips! I have way more styles than I am posting tonight! They are super reasonably priced too!

ladybug and coordinating clip


primary color flower clips (these are one of my favs!)

And lastly, there will be simpler collections like this bright primary collection

These look super cute in Gracie's hair (what little she has!) and they stay in incredibly well. I have nothing but raves for Rock A Bow Baby hair clips!

baby legs are perfect for spring time

Whenever I dress Gracie in Baby Legs people always stop me to ask about them. I loved them all winter under all kinds of things, but was ready to pack them up for next year, now that it is getting warmer. Then today I had an "Ah Ha!" moment! Baby Legs are the perfect accessory for the spring! I realized this early this morning while I was getting Gracie dressed. I really wanted to put Gracie in her green Daily Tea skirt but it's still pretty cool here in the mornings, even though its in the 80's during the day. It dawned on me to throw her Baby Legs under the skirt and then just pull them off as it got warmer today. (Okay, so maybe this would have been obvious to some, but work with me!). Today though I pulled them up a little higher so they looked more like leggings. They were super cute and she got lots of compliments on them! Horray for Baby Legs!

come shop in person on 4.16.08

We are so excited to head over to Six Beans in East Cobb tomorrow. I will be there with the entire Daily Tea Collection, Bink Links, Baby Legs and some brand new, super cute clips by Rock A Bow Baby tomorrow from 1:30-4. (These clips aren't even online yet, so you could be the first to get your hands on them!)

My sweet friends from Jack's Harvest will be there too doing a tasting of their yummy organic baby food. You have to try this stuff, Gracie loves it! They will have their new spring flavors there to taste.

Six Beans makes dinner easy by having prepared all natural foods ready for you to pick up! Since you will be so busy shopping, you can pick up dinner, ready to go while you are there.

Pedipeds: stylish and best for little feet

As a stay-at-home mom, I will take hand-me-downs from anyone. I have no shame in diving into a disorganized bin of clothes at a consignment sale. But where I don't cut corners is with my daughter's shoes. Walking is serious business, people. And that's why I recently purchased a pair of Pedipeds for her. Recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association as a great choice for toddler feet, they have a cushy sole that protects your little one from any uneven ground (or stray toy) but also allows them to find their balance naturally. We have the metallic pink mary jane style, and I cannot tell you how many compliments I get when she wears them places. Strangers literally point and say, "Look at her shoes!" Oh, and wearing them in front of grandparents may prove to be effective if you are needing a second pair.

free shipping on all orders over $100!!!

Did you know that MonkeeMoos always offers free shipping on orders over $100 and flat rate shipping of $6 on all other orders. I love being able to shop online, but sometimes the shipping fees kill me, that is why I have sent up simple shipping on MonkeeMoos, so come on over and shop around!

need to keep up with that bink.....

Then you need the Bink Link! Any mom of a paci baby knows how essential the paci clip is. Unfortunately, the ones you can find in stores are just not cute. I have recently found the cutest paci clips around called Bink Links! They are made from wood and actually stay clipped to the clothing or whatever you clip to ( I clip to the carseat buckle so I can always find our paci!). They have super cute patterns.

My favorite is the candy necklace. Everyone always comments on it when we are out and about!

Need a unique gift for the mama that hasn't found out yet.... check out the peas and carrots, so cute!

cute for siblings

There comes occasions in life where your children need to coordinate. Sometimes it for a picture or a party, but its nice for them to match. But I don't like my kids to be overly matchy matchy (ha! is that even a word??). I particularly like them to match though at the beach. We take a lot of great pictures at the beach and this is one outfit my little ones will definitely be sporting this summer.

For Charlie:

chiba indigo shirt by Tea Collection $36

I will most likely pair this shirt with a pair of khaki roll up pants for the summer. I will carry it into the fall by adding a longsleeve white tee underneath and put it with jeans or cargos.

For Gracie:

chiba indigo dress $48


I love the dress because I know we will get tons of wear out of it. This summer it will be worn just as is. Then to carry it into the fall, I will put a long sleeve white tee underneath it and throw on some jeans. She will be so stylin'!

The thing I try to do with dressing my kids is to invest in several great pieces for the season that I can pair with less expensive pieces and get great use out of all season long!

why I love daily tea collection

I love Daily Tea because they are super soft clothes that are easy for kids to play in but so super cute. We are going to a playdate today and Gracie will be wearing this dress:

Sugar Stripe Dress by Daily Tea Collection $25


with these :
Vine Bootcut Pant by Daily Tea $21


Now here comes the fun part about Daily Tea. So that outfit is just under $50, but I can expand on those two piece with another $50 and make up to 6 outfits out of it!

I can add a cute tee that could also be worn with the same pants like this:

Asuka Top by Daily Tea Collection $17

Then I can add some super fun shorts to go with the tee when it gets warmer, like these:

Amethyst Stripe Bloomer Short $19


So right now I am at only $80 and I have 4 outfits out of it, the dress alone, the dress with leggings, the tee with leggings and the tee with shorts. To reach my $100 and 6 outfits I could add another dress, another top or a bubble and we would have an adorable, unique wardrobe!
