Bitty Boo Creations- Review and Giveaway!!

About Bitty Boo Creations:
Melissa is the WAHM behind Bitty Boo creations, and one of my great personal friends. She is incredibly hardworking, and caring, and all around an amazing person. She is married to an amazingly suportive husband. She has known him for about 13 years, then they started dating about 4 years ago. They have been happily married for two years now, making a wonderful family including herself, her hubby, and his two sons from a previous marriage, and now their son Aiden. Before they were blessed with Aiden Melissa was an insurance agent. After Aiden was born premature she could not leave his side. She decided to stay home with him, which she loves! The first year was rough (as he was premature) but she loved that she was their for everything. She did not miss a thing.
She started to get anxious, like she needed to do something besides keeping her home clean and entertaining her son, and wanted to find something that was hers and hers alone. She borrowed her mothers sewing machine, and started on some projects. She had not done much sewing in the past, but she was a natural. She made a sock-monkey for Aiden, and showed pictures to a few friends, and things started taking off from there. Soon enough she had friends asking her to make them for their children. She then purchased a hat pattern and made a hat for Aiden- Again, this resulted in a lot of friends asking for them. She found the pattern she is using now (for the hat, then a few separate ears- The rest she comes up with on her own)and loves it! She loves being able to create a hat from someones ideas. She started creating a bib for her Mother in laws store that will be a future Bitty Boo product. She is creating the bib from ideas she has gathered from other moms, which I think is an amazing thing! If anyone has any kind of ideas on a hat they would like designed Melissa is your go to! Every product she has made so far has been stunning, and I have yet to see something Mel couldn't do. She is not only an amazing friend, and an amazing Momma, but she is an amazing artist!

In her future she is planning on making booties and crib slippers, and I am sure she will come up with tons of other amazing products for all of our littles. As Mel says- She would rather do a few things and do them really well, then start with a lot of things that are only good. After all- Good just isn't good enough for our littles- Right?

What I thought:
Mel made and sent me a wonderfully PERFECT hat for Zoey. The had that she made has a clip so that I can put Zoey's bows on the hat. This is just perfect for us, because whenever it was cold we could not put her in on of her cute bows (which is a must have in this house!). I love being able to get the best of both worlds. Now she is warm and so cute with her big bows! The place to attach the bows will work for any Alligator style hair bow. I fell like this one hat takes the place of so many because with all of our bows it will match everything in her wardrobe. The possibilities are endless! Melissa asked for Zoey's head measurements just to be sure that the size (by months) she had would fit well, and it fits perfectly. It covers her ears great, and because it is made of a super-soft fleece it is the warmest hat she has (and fleece is water repellent if we ever get some snow). I cannot wait to order more hats and bibs from Melissa- Maybe next time a character hat?! I would highly recommend Melissa! She is amazing!

Comfy Joey- Review and Giveaway!!

About Comfy Joey:
Ayesha is the WAHM behind Comfy Joey. She is the Mother of four littles- 2 boys, and two girls. She and her husband are hoping to be blessed with one more child to complete their family. They have recently made a very big move to India. Ayesha and her husband are both originally from India, but have lived more than half of their life's outside India. Ayesha's husband is a consultant in the US and flies to Seattle for his job. Ayesha stays in India so that she can focus on her children and Comfy Joey. She loves that she can be a full time Mom to her children, and still do what she loves. Comfy Joey has become a great passion of hers. She loves her customers and considers them all friends. She hopes that her products make her customers as happy as they make her, and wants every customer to be a happy customer. She has been working on making amazing slings for almost 7 years, and has big dreams for the future.

Ayesha started Comfy Joey when her second child was only 3 months old. She was challenged by another WAHM to start her own line. She took on the challenge with the help of her hubby, and Comfy Joey has been blooming ever since. Comfy Joey started out focusing on pouch style slings. They were her favorite style sling in the beginning. Next her passion became the ring slings. Even though the pouches were a great hit she decided to move Comfy Joey into a different direction and started selling ring slings. Ayesha says she can only sell things she loves. If she is not passionate about it she can't sell it.
She hopes to reintroduce Comfy Joey customers to goodies from india such as Cashmere Carriers and Woolen Shawls in the future.

Comfy Joey slings are made in the USA by a wonderful WAHM- Jessica Trueman. She lives in Boise, Idaho with her husband and children.

What I thought:
I can honestly say that I really LOVE this wrap.
There is nothing better than being able to be close to my daughter all the time. She loves to be worn, and I love the snuggle time more than anything in the world. If I could freeze moments I have shared with my baby bird in this sling I would share it with each of you. That would be the only real way to describe how I feel about this sling.
Since that is unfortunately not an option I am going to do my best to explain why I am so in love with my Comfy Joey (or as we in the Morrison household call it, Comfy Zoey)

I had been using a wrap from the very beginning. I loved to be close to Zoey, but there were a lot of set backs as well. She was always directly in front of me, breathing up my nose, and the last month or so (since she has discovered my face in pieces, not just as a whole) trying to see how far she could stretch my eyelid. As I am sure you can imagine this made a lot of tasks a lot harder.
When I got this sling in the mail I was so excited. I was so hopeful I was going to find a better way for me to cuddle with my baby. I had no idea just how amazing it was going to be. I watched a video sent with the wrap before I did anything. This showed me everything there is about slings. Different ways of wearing it, different positions, where the rings should be for optimum comfort, and more. After learning how to put it on I patiently (this word may be a slight stretch of truth... I watched the baby monitor waiting and waiting) waited for Zoey to wake up from her nap. When she woke up I put her in the sling, and she LOVED it!! This would be the part in the movies where the clouds part, and sun is shining so bright. She went from fussy, to cuddle monkey in a matter of seconds. This never happened with any other wraps I have tried. That day we snuggled in the sling for 5 hours while I made her baby food, and dinner. She napped in the sling, and woke up just as happy as she could be.

At this point I was thinking to myself, there has to be a catch. It is easier to put on (by a long-shot), baby bird loves it, its stylish and comfortable.... There has to be a “but” in there somewhere. But... there really isn't!
For one week I have not used anything else. We have left the car seat in the car (which we already did, its just more convenient not to carry her, but instead to wear her) We have not touched our stroller, and she goes with me almost everywhere. We made meals together and really used every opportunity we had to snuggle in our Comfy Joey. This one week has been the easiest week yet.

The places we went:
Grocery Store- Bending, and reaching is not a problem :)
Family Function- Everyone thought it was the pretties carrier they had ever seen
Michaels- I had two mothers come up to me separately to ask me who made the sling, and tell me it was beautiful, and they thought Zoey looked comfortable, and natural in it.
Joann's Fabric- I usually hate going here with Zoey. I don't go often, but when I do I usually end up with two carts full of stuff, and it takes at least three hours. The entire time Zoey was as happy as can be. Not one peep. (except to babble to whoever wanted to listen) Several people commented on the sling there as well.
And of course, while doing all housework.

I love my ring sling!!
