Arrrrrr.

As I prepare for the Queen Bee Market, I will be taking a blog break for the next couple of weeks. I may post instafriday still, depending on how much time I have, but probably won’t be posting much more than that until the end of the month.

.

On that note, there is a HUGE giveaway going for the Carlsbad Queen Bee- check it out!

Congrats to Kristin- you are randomly selected the winner of the Lisa Leonard baby spoon! Hooray! I will be contacting you soon :)

Check back tomorrow friends (Tuesday, the 27th). It is going to be a big day for my family :)

Today, I am really excited. Not only am I sharing one of my favorite little baby gifts, but I get to do a giveaway too!!

Lisa Leonard is one of my favorites. You have probably seen her beautiful jewelry around- I have a couple of necklaces and love them. Did you know that she makes personalized baby spoons too?

My sister-in-law gave each of my boys one when they were born and I adore them. The spoons are definitely one of my favorite gifts to give at baby showers.

They are heirloom quality, but you can totally use them day to day. It gives me a bit of extra joy feeding my baby because his spoon is so cute! Here is Hudson enjoying his spoon :)

Lisa has graciously offered to give away a personalized spoon to one of my readers. Hooray!

To enter, leave a comment telling me your favorite baby gift that you have given or received. The giveaway will end next Monday at 6pm.
