Sub_urban Riot Clothing Review

I am always on the lookout for places where I can find cute clothing items.  I came across the Sub_urban Riot website and found so many really cute and fashionable items.  They offer clothing and accessories for both mean and women.  What I really like about their items are that they are stylish, but everything looks like it would be very comfortable too!







I received a boxy tee and couldn't get over how soft it was.  I immediately had to try it on.  It has to be one of the most comfortable tops I've ever worn.  It is a great top for Spring and Summer because it's super lightweight too.  This is a great tee to pair with jeans, shorts or a cute skirt.  What would you wear it with?  I received a plain heather gray boxy tee and love the soft gray color.  The boxy tee comes in striped varieties too.  Sub_urban Riot currently has 2 color choices in stock for the boxy tee's.  They have the striped heather gray and the pink striped available.  You can purchase these directly from their website for $32.00.








I love browsing great clothing and accessory websites like Sub-urban Riot.  They have a number of items that I really like.  Their accessories are really cute too.  What is your favorite item from their website?  I've included some of my favorites below.  




You can purchase any of the Sub_urban Riot items directly from their website.  You can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.

Mouthman Hoodies Review and Giveaway 8/17 CLOSED

My kids love fun clothing that they really enjoy wearing.  When I saw Mouthman Hoodies I knew that they would just love these.  So what is a Mouthman Hoodie?  Most of the Mouthman Hoodies are some kind of animal - snake, shark, frog and more.  What you can do with the hoodie is take your arms and put them on top of each other.  The Mouthman Hoodie then has a mouth (top and bottom) on the sleeve and it looks like it's chomping.  Mouthman Hoodies calls it "animated apparel."  It's really cute and fun.  You can get an idea of exactly how these work by watching the video below.


So who thought of the Mouthman Hoodie?  Most of you are probably familiar with the band Journey.  Well Ross Valory was party of the original band Journey and was one of it's founders.  Ross Valory is also the creator of Mouthman Hoodies.  Pretty neat?



My son and daughter each received a Mouthman Hoodie!  My 5 year old received a Child Ladybug Hoodie.  She loves it.  It's soft and comfortable.  She loves the bright colors on it and of course the ladybugs.  My 7 year old received a Child Cobra Hoodie.  He thinks it's really cool.  I love how intense the colors are on this one too.Both of them are excited to wear them out to show their friends.  The Child Mouthman Hoodies come in sizes 2T up to size 14.  They are great for a gift too.  They come in a variety of other styles as well.  What is your favorite one?  Mouthman Hoodies also offers adult hoodies and Simpsons 20th Anniversary hoodies!  




I was really impressed when I found out that Mouthman Hoodies are made of 100% recycled fabric.  Very neat!  They are also made in the US.  You can connect with Mouthman Hoodies and learn more by connecting with them on Facebook and Twitter.

Giveaway - Enter to win a Mouthman Hoodie of your choice!

Open to US residents 18 yrs of age and older.  The giveaway will end on 8/17/12 at 8:59 pm PST.  The winner will be chosen by random.org via the Rafflecopter widget.  The winner will be contacted by email and will have 48 hours to contact me back to claim their prize.  The sponsor is responsible for prize fulfillment.  Mommie of 2 is not responsible for lost or unreceived prizes.

Child Special Ops Ninja Costume from Costume Discounters Review






Does your child love to play dress up?  My 5 and 7 year old love wearing Halloween costumes throughout the year for fun.  They run around the house in them and pretend!  My son received the Child Special Ops Ninja Costume from costumediscounters.com.  This is the costume that my 7 year old son picked out.  We had a really fun time looking at all the great boys costumes that Costume Discounters has to offer.  My son has said for months now that he's wanted to be a ninja for Halloween this year.  I was amazed at how many ninja children's costumes were available on the Costume Discounters website.  




My son received the Child Special Ops Ninja costume yesterday and had to put it on right away and play in it!  He is 7 and we received the small size (6-8) and it fit him perfectly.  I love that this costume has 2 pieces and doesn't zip in the back.  We have previously had a hard time finding a costume that works for him to wear to school.  Many of them that zip or fasten in the back make it difficult for your child to go to the restroom at school.  I was very impressed with the quality of this Halloween costume too.  The material is good quality and most of all it's sewn well.  My son looks adorable in the costume too!  I am so happy to see that he is thrilled with his Halloween costume.  He's excited to show it off to all the other boys this year.






You can purchase this costume from the Costume Discounters website for $27.99.  It is available in sizes small, medium and large.  This is a new boys Halloween costume that they are offering this year.  Do you know what your child is going to be this year for Halloween?  Costume Discounters offers a huge selection of great priced Halloween costumes for children, teens and adults.  I have included a few of my other favorite children's  costumes for you to look at!





I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Ready Set Eat Prize Pack #Giveaway 8/16 CLOSED



I was introduced to the Ready Set Eat website and I really love the idea behind this website!  They have a number of great family meals that you can make in just a little bit of time.  I have spent some time browsing the recipes and I have found that they have a lot of recipes that include items that many of us have in our house already.  I am a busy mom and don't always have the time to cook a dinner that is complicated every night.  I like that Ready Set Eat helps busy families continue to eat and cook healthy and delicious foods, no matter how busy you are!  Do you have a picky eater?  They even have a kid friendly section.  I plan on trying some of those for my little ones.

My biggest dilemma every week is that I take out boneless skinless chicken breasts and I have a hard time thinking of ways to make them different and exciting.  I like to try and cook them different ways because they honestly can get kind of boring.  I browsed around the Ready Set Eat website and found a variety of recipes that use boneless chicken breasts.  I plan on trying out a few of them.  I love that most of them are really quick recipes too.  I really want to try out the Zesty Chicken Corn Chowder and the Chicken with Balsamic Tomatoes.  Which one sounds the best to you?  

Ready Set Eat not only has chicken recipes, but recipes for ground beef, pork, desserts, potatoes, seafood, pasta and more.  You can also connect with Ready Set Eat on Facebook and Twitter and Pinterest.

Urban Baby Bonnets have many uses.  They are absolutely adorable.  I love the idea of a really cute and fun hat that your little one will love to wear!  They are a quality made product too!  They are made in the US.  The bonnets are reversible.  This makes them really fun because they can be worn a variety of ways.  I love that you can wear the bonnet with the front down, but  you can also fold it up a little and show the fabric on the other side too.  They look really cute both ways.  The bonnets come in a variety of sizes and color choices.  They offer bonnets for 0 to 6 month olds and they go all the way up to an XL.  My 5 year old wears the XL size.  They also have a chin strap that helps keep the bonnet on.  The chin strap have a variety of snaps on it, so this makes it great for adjusting to the perfect size.  Urban Baby Bonnets are made with quality cotton fabric.  I personally love that they are easy to wash and care for!  My daughter loves her bonnet.  She is adorable in it!

Shiny High Cut Lace Up Creepers Review from Oasap



I love when I find great websites that offer fun fashion items.  I found out about Oasap and fell in love with all of the great things they offer.  Oasap is a website that sells adorable items that include - shoes, accessories, dresses, skirts, tops and more.  They ship worldwide too!  They have a huge selection!  I had so much fun browsing all the great items on their website.  I honestly want to say I browsed for over an hour!



One of my favorite items to shop for are shoes!  I love all kinds of shoes and Oasap offers a massive selection.  They offer everything from heels, platforms, creepers, slippers and more.  I browsed the shoe selection and after awhile I decided on the Shiny High Cut Lace Up Creepers in Black!  I absolutely love how fun these are.  I love the retro style that has been revamped and made a little more modern.  The eyelets are really fun how they have both little and big wholes staggered up the shoe.  The shoes are great for a number of outfits.  I really think these would be adorable with shorts, skirts, skinny jeans or casual dresses.  I tried them with a number of outfits because they add a fun flair to my style!  I love that these have a rubber platform sole too.  I'm short (only 5 feet), so I love that they give me a little boost.  The platform is 4.5 cm.  The Siny High Cut Lace Up Creepers are cute, but also comfortable.  I also felt that they fit true to size.  That's very important when purchasing shoes online.  They are a quality pair of shoes that look like they are going to last.  These great creepers retail for $57.00 on the Oasap website.  They are available in both black and white.  I love both color options.  What color would you want and what would you wear them with?






I had so much fun browsing all the fun items on the Oasap website.  I have left a few of my favorite shoes that they offer below!  What is your favorite shoe that they offer?

Mabels Labels Back to School Combo Pack Review





You can never have too many labels for your children's items.  Good quality labels are important too because you want them to last and not fall off.  My children are required to label all of their personal items that go to school with them.  We label everything from lunchboxes, backpacks, coats, water bottles and more.  Mabel's Labels are high quality personalized labels that make labeling your child's items for school easy and fun!



My 5 year old is starting Kindergarten this year, so when she received the Back to School Combo Pack from Mabel's Labels she was so excited.  She wanted to put one of these cute pink labels on everything she has for school so far!  There are a variety of color schemes and designs that you can choose from on the Back to School Combo Packs.  They also offer fun and adorable icons that you can have put on your child's labels too!  My little one was sent a cute princess crown style theme set that she absolutely loves.  You can see how adorable the labels are below.  They come personalize with your child's name.  You will receive a pack with 40 Skinny Minis, 50 Tag Mates, 16 Shoe Labels and 2 Teeny Tags.  Right now until the end of July you can purchase this pack for $39.00 instead of $42.00.  The labels are all different sizes and are great for different things.  The Skinny Minis are great for putting on anything from notebooks to water bottles.  The Shoe Labels are great for shoes of course, but we put one on a reusable water sipper.  The Tag Mates are great for putting on coats.  This is going to save me the aggravation of having my daughter's coats constantly being lost!  The Tag Mates go right clothing tags for a quick and easy way to label clothing.  Lastly, the Teeny Tags are great for putting on things like backpacks!  We are really impressed with the quality of Mabel's Labels.  They are made out of high quality material that is durable.  They are going to make back to school much easier!
