TutuPosh Boutique review and "3" Giveaways!!! CLOSED



Anyone who has a little girl knows it is a must "To Have a Tutu"! Tutu's allow little girls to step into another world and become a fairy princess or a beautiful ballerina. As a parent it can bring you smiles and laughter as you watch your little one twirl around and act as if there are no cares in the world.

Me and a few other selected panelist, from The Classy Closet, were treated to review tutu's from TutuPosh Boutique. I had the opportunity to work with Stephanie the owner. She has been wonderful to work with and loves being able to use her creativity to make tutu's. Stephanie says she delivers all her tutu's Super Fast and she did just that. Each tutu was delivered very quickly and packaged well so that the tutu stayed puffed and neat.

My daughter and I chose the purple tutu. I feel in love with it as soon as I laid eyes on it. I have seen several tutu's but especially loved the ribbon wrapped around the entire waist on this tutu. It added extra class and color. I noticed on Tutuposh Boutique, that not all tutu's have the extra ribbon around the waist, but I recommend it since it looks extra cute! As for my daughter, the tutu has taken over her wardrobe. This is all she wants to wear. Each morning she wakes up and looks for her tutu to bring me so I can put it on her. It is so fun to watch her dance around and lift her leg for arabesque. She thinks she is so cute... And she is of course!



TutuPosh Boutique offers tutu's for Birthdays, Holidays and dress up. Another one of my favorite finds at TutuPosh Boutique was the Fairy Wands. These are really cute and only $2.99. This would make a great birthday souvenir to give to the little fairies who go to your child's "Princess/ Fairy birthday party". You will also find other fun accessories at TutuPosh Boutique that your child can add to their tutu. Also check out the Birthday hats!

Zutano review and giveaway! (CLOSED)

Welcome to an "Ultimate Bloggy Carnival" spring 2009 giveaway!!! Be sure to check out all the other amazing carnival giveaways right now!




It all started when a Uli and Michael Belenky had their first child. They saw the lack of life in children's clothing. They wanted to add something more to children's clothes and felt the right graphics and prints would do the job. This is when Zutano was started. Zutano has since grown and provides not only sensational graphics and designs, but uses the highest quality interlock cotton fabrics and natural fiber blends for the children's clothing.



I absolutely love the bright colors they use. Their clothes and styles fit adorably on children. My daughter has the Fuchsia/White Toddler Drawstring Pant and the Flower Time Short Sleeve Viola Top. It is such a comfortably fitting outfit and people have stopped several times to comment on how cute the outfit is. She has worn it several times. What makes Zutano even better is that many of their clothes are made to match each other. There are not only several other tops that will go great with the pant but many tops as well.

Even more impressive is the heart put into Zutano. Not only is heart put into their clothing, but into the environment and community. Zutano has helped support programs for children, reproductive rights to women, an end to childhood hunger, better health care programs, regional scholarship funds, breast feeding educational programs and clothing drives. Zutano has the greatest respect for women and their children and continues to practice the "Baby-to-Work" program, which allows new mom's to bring their baby to work for the first year.

To stay up to date with Zutano's updates, sales and fun new patterns, you can join their fan group on facebook.

The Giveaway: One winner will win a $75 shopping spree at Zutano.com

To enter: Go visit Zutano and Come back and tell some of your favorite items or prints.

Welcome to an "Ultimate Bloggy Carnival" spring 2009 giveaway!!! Be sure to check out all the other amazing carnival giveaways right now!


Being an artist myself I have great appreciation for the time and creativity an artist puts into their work. I easily fell in love with this artists work. She has such a unique style and each piece seems to tell a spark of youth and joy. Here are some of Rkdsign's cute and fun arts pieces.


When asked what inspires the artist, Rita, she says, "My daughter, she is my inspiration and of course my life". Rita has loved to draw since she was a little kid. She took several art classes in college and majored in Interior Design, which she earned her degree. Rkdsign88 is giving away this piece to one of our viewers.

In this giveaway our lucky winner will not win one, but two of Rita's prints. Their titles are "The Lake" and "My Crib".



"The Lake" is a 4x6 print of the original acrylic painting. The highest quality Epson heavyweight paper and archival ink was used. This picture is also signed and titled on the back.


"My Crib" is a 5x5 and is a print of an original in drawing colored digitally. The highest quality Epson heavyweight paper and archival ink was used. This picture is also signed and titled on the back.
