One of the most exciting things about having a baby is choosing just the perfect name!  As soon as we found out we were expecting our son, we pretty much had his name figured out immediately.  We went the traditional route, and some may even say our choice sounds really old fashioned, but our son was named after two of his great-great uncles, men we were proud to name our son after.

If you’re in the process of choosing a baby name, you will definitely want to check out this cool Baby Names infographic below which lists all sorts of baby names from the really popular to the truly trendy.  Need some pointers on how to go about choosing the perfect name?  All of that information is included as well.  And finally, head over to Pish Posh Baby and enter the Bugaboo Bee Stroller Contest.  The new baby needs a cool ride, right?

I plan a couple of parties each year.  My son’s birthday party is definitely the biggest one I plan all year, but I also help throw an occasional baby or wedding shower as well.  I love picking out party supplies for these events, but it’s often tough to do because we have so few brick and mortar stores where I live that offer a wide selection of supplies needed to make these events extra special.  I almost always have to order a majority of the things I need online because I just can’t find them here.

www.parteaz.co.uk offers a huge selection of party supplies perfect for any occasion.  From children’s birthday parties, anniversary parties and baby showers, Parteaz can supply your next event with all of the tableware, party favors, and little extras you need to make it special.  Need a cake?  They do that, also!

I love that Parteaz has such a great selection of children’s birthday party supplies that aren’t only centered on characters.  I prefer to have themed parties for my son (although we have done characters as well in the past), and love their great selection of sports, animal, and even military themed party supplies.  Parteaz isn’t only just for children’s events, though.  They also offer a fabulous selection of adult themed party supplies for events centered around the 50’s, casino, tropical, and Hollywood, just to name a few. 

If you’re currently planning an event and looking for a great selection of party supplies, be sure and check out Parteaz.

If you have kids, chances are you also have a lot of “stuff” to keep track of.  Backpacks, toys, clothing, and the list goes on and on.  Sometimes it’s easy to identify what belongs to whom, but if your child attends a school where uniforms are pretty much all alike, as well as coats and jackets, sometimes the extra “stuff” just looks all the same.  This is where self-adhesive label printing can come in very handy to help keep track of what belongs to you.

Does your child carry a lunchbox at school that might also be a popular style with everyone else?  How about sports equipment?  If your things are in a community setting, it can be very easy to mistake these things for yours.  Self-adhesive labels from Name It Labels make it super easy to design and apply labels your child will recognize in order to avoid any confusion.  There are the standard name labels, featuring just your child’s name, that can be ordered or you can dress up your design and really personalize it with different shapes and styles. 

As a librarian, I can see that these labels would be perfect for children to have to label their own personal books.  I often times find books in our library that don’t belong to the school, but because a child didn’t write their name inside of it, I have no idea who it belongs to unless they return and ask for it specifically.  These labels would be great for kids who do a lot of reading to have in case of instances like this.

As a kid, I loved seeing my name on my things, especially if I was lucky enough to actually find cool stickers with my name.  Name It Labels are perfect for just about anything you own that you don’t want to lose track of.

The best donut shop in our town closed its doors a couple of years ago.  It was a beloved town staple that is surely missed by so many.  Anytime I stopped in, I was always greeted with a warm, friendly smile and hello from the owner “Mr. Jimmy", and I always ordered the same thing; a chocolate filled donut, a sausage and biscuit, and chocolate milk to drink.  His shop was small, but the few tables he had were always filled with “the regulars” drinking coffee and reading the day’s headlines in the newspapers.  I suppose I took for granted that our donut shop would always be around.  To this day I would still give anything for one of those donuts.  They were amazing!

This month, Green Mountain Coffee is pleased to offer The Donut House Collection K-Cup Packs at 15% off when you use code DONUTHOUSE8162.  This code is good through March 19 and includes such flavors as Chocolate Glazed Donut and Cinnamon Roll.  Is your mouth watering yet?

Not only were these K-Cup packs from The Donut House collection delicious, they also brought back a little nostalgia for the local donut shop I loved so much. 

I was sent Donut House Coffee samples to facilitate my post as an ambassador for Keurig/Green Mountain Coffee. All opinions are my own.
