Hip-T: You'll Thank Me for This One, I Promise!

I don't care how hot you are (or how hot you think you are), your thong is not something you need to be exposing to the world. I mean come on, even my 7 year old is laughing at you when you bend over! No matter what you paid for it, or how cute you think it is, it's really not anyone's business but your own...

SO, let me help you solve this problem, plus some others, which include adding an adorable layer to your tee without the bulk of a whole tee, and covering up the little muffin top that those designer jeans often create. The Hip-t, which I totally love, is a fast and easy way to add some color to an outfit while covering up your "assets." I really try my best not to expose my behind, after all, crack does kill, but I know once in a while it happens. No more, I declare! My Hip-t solves that problem completely and I can bend and kneel to tie my son's shoes without any worries or drafts!

Super soft, machine washable, and comfy to boot, the Hip-t comes in 12 fashionable colors and 9 sizes that range from XXS (girls 10-12) to 3XL. They also have some that are trimmed with lace which are really cute. I have the olive and the burnt orange which are fantastic, but I think I need more! Honestly, I want all of them. The Hip-t is reasonably priced and right now shipping is free. Visit www.myhip-t.com and stock up today. The Hip-t will surely be your new favorite accessory, trust me when I say pick out a few, you'll be wearing them often....

Bring the Luck O' the Irish to YOUR Dinner Table

Olive Kids has done it again! I've been a huge fan of their holiday place mats for a few years now. My boys (well, and me too) love changing their place mats to match the "holiday of the month." We've just finished up with Valentine's Day and now its time to get lucky and bring out the new St. Patty's Day mats. Olive Kids' place mats are top notch, they use a thick laminate on their brightly colored designs that makes for a virtually indestructible eating experience. They easily wipe clean with water and are very hard to bend/crease.

Click on over to Olive Kids to get your table set for the holidays!

Oh! And while you're there, be sure to check out their bookmarks and name tags. My boys LOVE to read, especially my first grader. His very own bookmark is such a great way to make a book "his own." The designs are adorable and I know these would be a welcome addition to any classroom. As a former teacher, I really appreciate items that are personalized. You won't have to worry about these bookmarks ending up in the lost and found! The name tags are PERFECT for backpacks and travel. Even if you're just "Goin' to Grandma's" your little one (and big ones too) will appreciate a personalized touch to their luggage!

Hola! Me Llamo Heather & I LOVE this Onesie...

Looking for a super cute and wonderfully unique personalized gift for a favorite little one in your life? Check out these onesies at Luca Bleu. Available in white with either blue or pink motifs, this adorable outfit will be sure to put a smile on the faces it encounters. My sister speaks Spanish fluently, so I really wanted my nephew to don the "Me llamo" outfit. I think it is so clever and fun. Available in sizes 6 months to 18 months, the long sleeved onesies are made impeccably. Super soft 100% cotton that your baby will feel nice and cozy in. They are also available in toddler sized tees ranging from a 2T to 5/6T. You know it would be a hit at pre-school. I mean what teacher wouldn't be impressed with a little bilingual "my name is" lesson? A twist on the "Hello, my name is..." badges we all know, these fun onesies are sure to be the hit of the party! I kinda wish they made the tees for adults...

Kernel Season's

If you love popcorn, you have to try Kernel Season's!!! Wow!! My whole family loves it (including my two picky boys)! They have popcorn kernels, microwave popcorn, spritzers, theatre butter and popcorn seasonings. The Popcorn Spritzer is a great idea, it is butter flavored and you just spritz it on your freshly popped popcorn and then sprinkle on your seasonings. It helps the seasonings stick and adds a nice buttery flavor and it has 0 fat and 0 calories!!! If you crave the taste of movie theatre popcorn, try the Movie Theatre Popping and Topping Oil. Kernel Season`s also sells popcorn machines, popcorn forks (so you dont get greasy fingers), gift baskets and more! Now you can have movie night in the comfort of your own home!! Also, you can use the seasonings to spice up your veggies, soups, casseroles and pastas, check out the website for some cool recipes.
