Kerusso Christian Tees Review and Giveaway
I recently had the opportunity to review these awesome tees from Kerusso. I love t-shirts, especially in the summer! I love cute Christian t-shirts even more. Being a missionary, I own quite a few Christian shirts. I had a hard time deciding which one to choose because Kerusso has such a great selection of shirts for all ages. I finally chose the MOM shirt (So glad I'm a Christian MOM). I ordered it a size bigger because of the baby (26 weeks down - WOOT!). I cherish the fact that I am a mom and want to teach Sophie all I can. I love sitting with her and reading her Children's Bible and watching her tell me what is happening.
Why I like this shirt:
1. It is very comfortable cotton material
2. It is lightweight, which is good in the humid south
3. The sizing was correct and I love how big it is
4. The colors and wording are nice and readable
5. The length of the shirt is good - not short at all
6. Holds up well in the wash (after a few washes, it still looks new)
Kerusso also sent me a shirt for Miss. Sophie. I chose this one because it was soooo cute! Sophie's shirt says "Owl Always Love Jesus". She is between a 2T/3T right now so I ordered her the 3T. I love the length and fit of the shirt. Again. it is a nice lightweight fabric with vibrant colors. Sophie absolutely loves it! I think she would wear it everyday if I let her.
About Kerusso:
For more than 25 years, Kerusso has been creating high quality Christian shirts and accessories. "Jesus said, "I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest." Christian T-shirts give millions of Christians the ability to enter the fields, every day, to share the Good News of Jesus." Kerusso is known worldwide for their Christian shirts and have worked with the makers of movies such as, Courageous, Fireproof, and Soul Surfer.
Something to think about:
"Studies show that you get about 3 seconds for the message to be read on your Christian T-shirt; 3000 people will read your t-shirt; and some will approach you with a question. That's how much time there is to get a life-saving message communicated. Sometimes that means the Christian T-Shirt needs to incorporate humor, irony, or wit. If a non-believer looks at your Christian clothing and doesn't 'get-it' right away, your opportunity is lost; but a strong, bold design may capture their interest long enough to start a conversation."
My Review:
I love these shirts! These are very well made and have held up in the wash. I love the wording on each and the lightweight fabric is a plus. I am impressed at all the products that are featured on the website. The website is easy to navigate and there are many options to choose from. As a missionary, Christian, and mom, I would recommend these products to anyone wanting good Christian clothing and accessories.
*Disclaimer: I received the shirts to review. No monetary compensation was given. These are my thoughts and opinions.

Peter Rabbit Organics Review and Giveaway
Last year I had the privilege to review Peter Rabbit Organics. These fruit and vegetable snack blends are so healthy and yummy. Sophie loved the varieties. She was younger, so I fed them to her. It was a great way to get fruits and veggies in her without the fuss. She was able to taste different fruits and veggies that I normally wouldn't buy. These were such a huge hit at our house. I was so excited when I received a box from Peter Rabbit Organics a few weeks ago. It was a box of the NEW flavors! I have to admit... they only lasted a week! Sophie is old enough to hold them now and would drink a whole one a day! She LOVED the new flavors.
What are Peter Rabbit Organics?
Peter Rabbit Organics are organic fruit and vegetable mixes that are in a handy, squeezable package. The packages are perfect for on-the-go, the park, or snack time. Kids of all ages love the blend combinations (including me!). This small company promises 100% organic. 100% healthy (no added sugar, salt, or anything), and 100% delicious. The ingredients are right on the package so you know exactly what your child is eating. These are simply fruit and veggies that have been blended together and put in a squeezable BPA-free container. Peter Rabbit Organics come with a reusable top, so you can put the unused portion in the refrigerator for later. All products are made in Oregon.
Nothing but the best for this face!!
My Review:
I (or should I say Sophie) reviewed the five NEW flavors of Peter Rabbit Organics:
She chose the Banana and Apple first. I knew that would go fast because these are her two favorite fruits. She literally GULPED this pouch down. No doubt it was a hit for this 2 year old.
She is not a big peach person but the blend with apples made the Peach and Apple pouch a good one. Sophie didn't finish the pouch so I was able to get a taste of the Peter Rabbit Organics. I like the quality of the blend and the taste was very fresh and good. The two flavors compliment each other and one was not overwhelming to the other.
The Pear and Apple blend worked great for afternoon snack. Sophie loves being able to hold these and drink them. I love that they are not messy and there is no need for a spoon. I also love that they are portable! I can throw one in the car, diaper bag, or my purse and head out. This blend was a hit with both of us. Sophie wanted me to taste this one with her. She is so funny sometimes.
Once she went through all the fruit blends, I was anxious to see how the veggie blends would go over. I gave Sophie the Pumpkin, Carrot, Apple pouch with her dinner one night. It was an easy way to get the veggies in her. The combination of the three worked well. I was unsure how Sophie would like this one. It took a few times, but she ate the whole pouch. She has never had blended pumpkin so I think it was something to get used to. I am glad she is open to try new things.
The Pear and Pea blend was her least favorite. She tried it but didn't care for the blend. I tasted it and it was an interesting taste.
The bottom line is that Peter Rabbit Organics are pure, tasty, and simply healthy. They are the perfect snack for kids. These are high quality and fresh snacks. I would recommend these to all moms! I bet you will like them too!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Macaroy Kangaroo - Monthly Onesie Stickers Review
Hello, my name is Holly and I am addicted to Pinterest! I LOVE all the ideas I get for Sophie and the baby. I have gotten cute clothes ideas, room ideas, and even food ideas. My most recent pins have been different poses for them. I love photography so I am always looking for new ideas for family and children. I recently came across ideas for taking monthly pictures of the baby when he arrives. I found ones using a laundry basket, chalkboard, or just a sheet of paper with the date. The cutest idea was using monthly onesie stickers to show the baby's growth over the year. I love the idea of this! Once you finish the pics, the stickers can be used for your child's scrapbook or another craft. As I was looking online to see where you can get these stickers, I came across Macaroy Kangaroo.
Macaroy Kangaroo, is a company that specializes in cute and unique items for the whole family. They are the perfect place to find monogrammed and personalized items. The selection for moms and babies is very nice. Many items are named after the owners children which makes the company even more special. The items are inexpensive yet very high quality. Macaroy Kangaroo carries items ranging from custom clothing, to home decor, to stationary. There is truly something for everyone.
What I received to review:
I received the Monthly Onesie Baby Stickers. These are the perfect gift for new mothers who want to see the growth in their child over the first year. Once the year is over, you will have a collection of photos that will be cherished forever. These measure 4 inches and contain each month including a "Just Born" sticker.
How to Apply:
These monthly onesie stickers are easy to apply. Simply peel them off the paper and apply them to the middle of an onesie. Take the picture and remove the sticker. Remember not to wash them! They are stickers. These can be worn throughout the day and when finished, you could put them in your child's baby book or scrapbook.
My Review:
The first thing I noticed when I received these stickers from Macaroy Kangaroo was the quality. These are very high quality stickers made to stick to clothing. Sophie has received cheap stickers before that won't stay applied to her shirt after a few minutes. These stickers are so cute! I love the colors and designs. Macaroy Kangaroo has a great selection of Monthly Onesie stickers for boys and girls. The size is perfect! I tried one out on an onesie that I had here at home. These are big enough to get really good photos but not so big that they are overwhelming to baby. These onesie stickers are something that every mom-to-be would love. I am excited to have them. I will post pics of baby boy with them on starting in August!
Please make sure you check out this site. I spent 30 minutes and found so much I want from Macaroy Kangaroo. I am sure you will too!

Glow Bug Cloth Diaper Review and Giveaway
My best friend and I are both pregnant. She is due just a few weeks before me. We have been talking a lot about cloth diapers. She is planning on trying it with this child for the first six months to see if she can do it. I have been really doing research and looking into cloth diapers too. I am not as confident as she is on the issue. There are so many on the market! How does it work? Which ones are the best? Is it messy? ARGH!!!
I know cloth diapers are better for my baby. I recently read about all the chemicals that are in disposable diapers... YUCK! I don't want to think of my baby's bum being near that!
I know that cloth diapers are better for the environment. These are reusable, therefore "greener".
Cloth diapers are so stinking cute! The designs on these cloth diapers are so cute and better than the old white disposable ones.
Here's my question: How do you choose the best cloth diaper for your baby?
As I was researching one night, I came across Glow Bug cloth diapers. I was immediately drawn in when I saw this phrase "Overwhelmed with all the Cloth Diaper Options?" Yes, yes I am!

My Review:
I was excited when this cloth diaper came in the mail. I have been anxiously waiting to see what it would look like and how it would work. The first thing I noticed when the Glow Bug diaper came, was the adorable star design. It is so cute! I love the feel of these cloth diapers. They are very high quality and made to last through many, many, changes. I tried one on Sophie, who is 26 pounds, and couldn't believe how nicely these fit. I even tried it on one of her dolls that would be about the size of an infant. The diaper adjusted well and was easy to put on. I was impressed at the design of these cloth diapers and can definitely see the difference! The big difference between these cloth diapers and others, is the price. Glow Bug cloth diapers fit from newborn to potty training children. No need to purchase cloth diapers for each age range. That saves a lot of money! These even out to be $12.50 each. That is a nice price for something that will last. I am quickly becoming a believer in cloth diapers! I figured up that I spend $30 or more on disposable diapers a month. Imagine the savings in cloth diapers!
For someone that has never used a cloth diaper, this one was super easy to put on Sophie. The fit was snug around the legs so I didn't have to worry about leaks. The absorbent cloths are included (2) and very easy to snap in place and take out. These are perfect for new moms or anyone new to cloth diapers! I am so excited to learn more about cloth diapers and when the time comes, Glow Bug will be the only place for me!
I highly recommend these cloth diapers for all the reasons above. Please make sure you follow them on Facebook to keep up with specials and giveaways.
GIVEAWAY: Glow Bug is generously giving one Mission Montana follower their choice of a girl, boy, or neutral print cloth diaper. Open to US and Canada!
