Let's focus on the little ones for this feature! I've got something for Halloween and for Breast Cancer Awareness month to show you!

Trendy Twin Shop has the most adorable clothing and accessories for twins (or triplets), siblings, and more!  It's hard to find a shop dedicated to twins, this one is perfect; a one stop shop for coordinating your twins (until they no longer want to match each other that is).  Trick or treat anyone?  Cute onesies or tees for the Halloween season; for the little ones too young to wear a costume and for the older ones to wear to preschool where most of the time they can not wear a costume.  I'm loving Halloween shirts this year!
 
Something "Pink" for baby this month from my all time favorite company, the modern and innovative Boon Inc.   In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Boon Inc. will donate $1 to breast cancer research for every purchase made on their website that includes one or more of the new pink feeding items.  And as a special thank you to all customers, take 10% off using the code pink08 on all pink feeding items through October 31, 2008.  So if you have any baby showers coming up or need to cross off some gifts on your Christmas list, here you go!  Trust me, Boon Inc. makes fabulous products, that are modern, practical and now pink!
Don't forget our ongoing contest!  Leave us a comment on what you are doing to support the cause  for your chance to win the Ann Veronica tote bag filled with goodies at the end of the month!  Good luck!

September is a huge birthday month for me.  I have at least 12 family or friends to celebrate with next month, including my own.  Needless to say, September is an expensive month.  12+ gifts and cards to buy and send, as many are out of state.  The gift part I can handle, but I despise  buying greeting cards over and over again, it can get very pricey on top of the price of a gift.  I have a solution, family stationery. 

I recently purchased a very affordable set of personalized family stationery from Paperluxe Studio that I plan on using to replace buying a million cards throughout the year, especially in September.  These are the perfect little note cards, with "The Blake Family" at the top and all our names at the bottom, I can just write a quick little note and be done!  With color coordinated envelopes, these are much more tasteful than your ordinary, boring store bought cards. 

What fabulous gifts these make too!  Paperluxe Studio offers women's and children's stationery, along with invitations and deluxe shower favors; all custom designed and personalized.  I'm stocking up for gifts to give in the month of September; and I'm thinking ahead to Christmas presents!

This week will be my last at The Winning Pitch. This past year and a half have been wonderful and I've enjoyed blogging for you each and every day.

I'm not sure who will be taking my place, but I have no doubt they will continue you educate you on the daily happenings in life and style.

I hope to guest blog occasionally and check in frequently as I continue to plan my October wedding. Thank you for reading, I've enjoyed writing for you.

Love, happiness and fabulous shoes,

Molly

Momelettes.com has the best tag line -- "Moms are beaten and fried. These tech tips will help." Love that!

The website was started by Jess Stratton is a gadget lover and mom who decided to pass her knowledge on to the masses. You can read all about her here.

Right now the site focuses on general life tips, but in the near future she hopes to be to go-to blog for all techy moms.

I'm really enjoying her recent post on how to score a deal on eBay. Did you know spelling mistakes can work in your favor? Who knew!

Head over to Momelettes and get your fix. You won't be disappointed.

I'll tell you, if I had known about this product early in my wedding planning stages I would have been even more organized than I already am!

Scanalog is the answer for anyone who has ever pulled something out of a magazine. Got a recipe you want to try? A bag you want to purchase? A quiz you want your hubby to take? Let's face it, we all do it. I have a pile of disorganized clips on my dining room table.

But once you pull them out, do you really utilize them? Chances are you don't.

Scanalog can help. The time-saving, hassle-preventing, space-conserving computer software that eliminates the clutter of unorganized magazine and newspaper clippings by creating an efficient storage system for them on your computer.

Mommy blogging has seriously taken off over the last few years. Do a Google search for them and you'll find yourself elbow deep in everything for diapers, to schooling to sex lives. Even if you're not a mom, you'll get hooked.

If you are a mom, a great place to check out is the Mom Blog Network, a place for Mommy bloggers to find other Mommy bloggers.

There's the blog tab, which takes you to a loooong listing of mom's around the world and a forum, where you can chat with ladies just like yourself.

Post a story, add your own blog, or just sit back and read.

You have to give credit to moms. They juggle work, shopping, cooking, cleaning and everything in between while caring for their children.

But let's be honest, every mom needs a break -- some time for herself. Even if it's only five minutes.

Which is why 5 Minutes for Mom is such a great site. Chocked full of stories, tips, shopping info, blog links and more, 5 Minutes for Mom is a great place for busy moms to stop by and decompress.

Stop by and check it out. And if all the goodies don't suck you in, this post will, I promise.

Baby toes!

The lovely Sue, owner of The Winning Pitch, pointed me in the direction of a new blog today. It's A Jaime Thing is a great blog all about "inspiration, art, events, thoughts, ideas, and all things creative!"

As a bride-to-be, my favorite part about this site is her wedding ideas, like this adorable idea to dress up an entry way.

The blog is filled with inspirational ideas (decor, anyone?) and I can't wait to pour through her archives.

Head over to It's A Jaime Thing and take a look!

Right after I got engaged I did a post about my favorite wedding sites. I still visit those sites often, but as my planning progresses I've come across even more amazing ones. Not getting married? Your inner girly girl will still love this stuff.

With This Ring highlights her path to the alter with great finds including invitations, bridesmaid dresses, centerpieces and more. She has exquisite taste and was nice enough to create an inspiration board just for me!

BV Weddings is the companion blog to Bellissima Vita--a wedding coordination company. Featuring photos from their own events, they provide great inspiration for planning brides-to-be!

Tying the Knot makes me wish I could devote all day to wedding planning. Her great ideas and fun purple color scheme get me back on the planning wagon when I'm ready to throw in the towel.

Enjoy!
