sense-able gym {giveaway}

I'm super excited to share this awesome giveaway with you. 

If you are a Mom of a young child then this is the giveaway for you!!

Recently my friend Christina invited me to check out Sense-Able Gym in Garland.  

Here's what Sense-Able Gym is all about........

Sense-Able Gym is a concept designed with the individual child in mind. We offer a fun, positive, sensory driven play space, with an open-play gym, designed for children with special needs, but open to all children. Their focus at Sense-Able Gym is to build confidence, motivation, socialization, and problem-solving skills, through a variety of sensory/motor activities designed for those who need support with existing therapy and IEP goals, those who have been dismissed from therapy, and need a place to fulfill their sensory/motor needs, or those who simply need to play. 

As you can see in the pictures below we had an absolute blast.  With the Texas heat about to be upon us, we will definitely be frequenting this gym to beat the heat.  

The facility is brand spankin' new and ready for you to come check it out.  

Just look how cool it is.......

**I didn't even get pictures of the big trampoline, climbing wall, slide and foam pit!!

So there is so much more than what these pictures show.

{The Quiet Room}

{The Art Alley}

{The Parent's Room that overlooks the Gym Area}

There is also a Technology Room with iPads and a Touch Screen Computer but I didn't have a picture of it. 

Here's the good news........

It's only $12 ($6 for an additional sibling) for a pass to come and play during their open gym times.  You can check out their schedule for all of the different ages here. They also have therapists, monthly passes and annual passes.  You can check out all of the pricing info here. 

And here's the awesome news.....

The owner, Shauna, gave me a  $25 gift certificate to give away one of my wonderful readers.

sarah huffman photography {giveaway}

Oh y'all.....I am so stinkin' excited about this giveaway.

Remember when I posted theses sweet pictures of me and my baby love.  

Well, it's time to share the rest of the pictures she took!!

About a month ago Sarah Huffman did this fun little photography session of Pearson and my sweet nephew and niece, Carson and Olivia.  We gave these pictures to my parents a Christmas present and they absolutely loved these pictures of their sweet grandbabies. 

We definitely gave Sarah a run for her money in photographing these busy little ones.  I wish we had a video of all the crazy things my sister in law and I had to do to get the kids to look at the camera.  We didn't really get any smiles from my little guy, but I think the pictures still turned out pretty darn cute. 

Sarah was absolutely amazing working with them.  She has a little one herself so she was so patient with them and would even do silly things to get them to look at the camera too.  

Not only was she great with the kids, she was so great to let us use some of our props and some of our ideas for poses.  And the best part about Sarah was that she was incredibly fast getting our pictures back to us!!

I'm so glad Sarah was able to capture these sweet pictures of our little ones and I know Lolly and Pops couldn't be happier with the pictures that we gave them.  Thank you Sarah!!

So here's the deal......

Sarah Huffman Photography is graciously giving away a 

FREE mini session {a $100 value} to one of my readers.  

This mini session will be a 30 minute shoot 

with a CD of 10-12 edited images. 

Here's how you can enter to win the FREE mini session......

the polka dot factory {giveaway}

It's time for another giveaway!!

This month's giveaway is brought to you by The Polka Dot Factory

Mandy is a blog reader of mine who will be offering up a $25 credit to her Etsy Shop.  She's a Mommy to a sweet little girl who also serves as her model for all of her fun little bows and headbands! She started out just making special gifts for friends and family but after many requests she opened up an Etsy Shop.  Mandy hopes to grow her shop to the point of being able to stay at home with her little girl.

This past week I got a fun little package in the mail from The Polka Dot Factory with a cute little hat and a bow!  I've never really been much of a hat fan, but I think things might change now that I have this super cute hat. 

I just threw on a black shirt and a leopard scarf and this hat to go to the grocery store this morning. I felt pretty cute for not having any make-up on and dirty hair!!

Since there are no little princesses at The Link Home I gave the this sweet little Christmas bow to my niece.

I tried to get a picture of her modeling it, but it's pretty close to impossible to get a 16 month old to cooperate with pictures! You can still tell how cute it looks on my little niece. 

The Polka Dot Factory has lots of cute hats, headbands, and bows in their shop. 

You can check out her Etsy Shop here.

You can follow her on facebook here.

And you can check out her personal blog here.

hilly house {giveaway}

Hi friends!!

It's time for another giveaway!!

This month's giveaway is brought to you by Hilly House.

Hilly House is a cute little Etsy Shop full of felt accessories and decorations.  

She makes birthday hats, birthday crown, and medals.  My personal favorite though, and what I'm giving away today, are her precious little tooth fairy pillows!! They are all customizable with a long list of different colors of felts and threads. 

Pearson is still working on getting all of his teeth, so he isn't quite to the "losing tooth age" but we'll be ready when he is!!!  Look at his super cute little pillow!!

I love how it matches his little room perfectly!! 

Amy was great responding to my Etsy convos and was super speedy with sending Pearson's pillow.  These little pillow would make a perfect little stocking stuffer for the little one in your life.

ladybug & lizard {giveaway}

Hello friends!!  I'm excited to do my second monthly giveaway!!

The owner of Ladybug and Lizard is a sweet grandma who loves to design clothes for her grandaughter and grandson, hence the name Ladybug and Lizard. I am so excited that she has given me $25 shop credit to give away to one of you!!

I could not be happier with the shirt she sent for my little pumpkin!!  She got my order to me super fast, so you have plenty of time to order a cute fall shirt for your little one and get lots of wear out of it this fall.

She also has this cute football shirt now that football season is upon us. 

Or if you are thinking ahead, look at this cute little Christmas truck.  This might be making it's way into Pearson's closet for Christmas.  I love it!!

I just can't get over how cute this little whale shirt is for a little girl.   

The best part about Ladybug and Lizard is that she welcomes custom orders.  If you don't see what you want, that doesn't mean she can't make it.  She would love to work together with you to create a custom outfit.  And let me tell you, she was great to work with.  She was super fast communicating back and forth with me about my order and I put my final order in on a Monday and got Pearson's shirt on a Thursday! Super fast!!
