JenEtsy Pinterest Challenge

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and I am so excited.  Valentine's Day is probably one of my most favorite holidays - who doesn't love celebrating love? 

 

And as part of the celebration and fun I made this lovely Felt Heart Banner for the JenEtsy Pinterest Challenge.  But I need your help - to win I must have my item repinned the most times!  So if you use pinterest, can you help me out?  Just go {HERE} and repin.  Takes two seconds... And you need to hurry - today is the last day!! :)

Dec.14 Friday Faves

Hello Friday - I am so glad you are here.

 

Another long week has finally ended and we are welcoming the weekend that will go by far too quickly.  This weekend I do hope to finish my Christmas shopping - I am embarrassed to admit I have barely started and really lack motivation to get it done.  I usually have everything bought, wrapped, and ready to be put under the tree before December begins.

 

Here is a small collection of a few festive Etsy items that would be perfect for the season:

 

Joy Throw Pillow

Satin Stitch Designs

 

Green Crochet Necklace

B Maja

 

DIY Felt Garland Kit

I Felt Sprightly

{I have this and love it}

As I am typing this, I was distracted by the devastating news going on in Newtown, Connecticut this morning.  Please know that our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone that has been impacted by this very sad event.

I am so sorry to end this on such a sad note - I wish you all a very blessed weekend!

 

Holiday Gift Swap

A few weeks ago I signed up to be part of a Holiday Gift Swap with a few bloggers across the country.  I love giving gifts, so I signed right up!   To my excitement my gift arrived last week! Joni from Blended with Love sent me a package full of lovely gifts.  A red mug (my favorite color!!) and hot chocolate, cards, socks, and lotion.

  This gift is perfect for cold Iowa winters. Those cozy socks and hot chocolate were opened immediately!   I sent a gift to Linda from Life With a Big Family. Hopefully she'll enjoy it!   ******* Be sure to check out these blogs: Mom-a-Logues Keeping up with the Sonneks Blended with Love Life With a Big Family   {Do you have a blog? Please share it with us by leaving a comment. I want to check it out.}   ******* Merry Christmas! What are you favorite holiday gifts to give or receive?  

Happy Thanksgiving!

Phew! There is a lot going on this weekend.  Thanksgiving - Black Friday - Small Business Saturday - Cyber Monday.  It's the perfect time for great deals and finishing your Christmas shopping.  (or if you are like me, starting your Christmas shopping - oops!)

 

Our family is very excited about Thanksgiving and spending the time with our families.  This month we have  been talking a lot about what it means to be thankful.  Hannah and Mia had Thanksgiving feasts at preschool and brought home these necklaces about what they are most thankful for. They made me smile.

 

Hannah Mia is having a sale starting tomorrow - November 22 through the weekend - ending November 26.

Nov 16 - Friday Faves

First and most importantly woot! It's {Friday}!  :)  And second - woot! This is my 100th Hannah Mia blog post!

 

Okay, enough silliness!  I have a few things I want to share and I hope you all had a really great week! 

 

As a huge fan of dessert and all things sweet, I instantly fell in love with these dessert bowls

made by Quotes & Notes.  {now I seriously want some ice cream... yum}

 

 



These Sterling Silver Stacking Rings are on my "need to buy list" from Indulgent Designs.  Her jewelry is so beautiful!

 

 

And this Black with Gold Rosette Headband will add a pop of color to any outfit made by Our Place To Nest. So cute!

 

 

Please to take a moment to check out the auction happening this weekend on Facebook to help raise money for Nico's adoption.

 

We also have some great new holiday hair accessories at our Hannah Mia Etsy Shop - you'll want to check them out.

 

And don't forget we're having {giveaway} going on right now!! Entries are really low right now (insert sad face here). Who wouldn't love $10 to spend towards some Hannah Mia bows or an adorable headband (or two). 

 

 

Meet Nico

Hello Friends! I would like to introduce you to Nico - such a cute little 2 1/2 year old!

My dear friend Kara and her husband Kyle are in the process of adopting this sweet guy!

 

Today Kara has organized a Share Nico Day!

It's a wonderful way to get the word out about their adoption and hopefully raise some funds.  No donation is too small!  If everyone who saw this would give just $5, the money for the adoption would come in quickly.  So please consider it!

 

To donation go {here} - there is a yellow donation button under Nico's picture.

And while you are there you can read more about Kara and Kyle and their family!

 

If you cannot donate, you can still help by sharing their website on your facebook, twitter, or blog! You can also follow them on {facebook} and please keep them in your prayers!

 

Have a blessed Monday!

xo, Jenni

November 9 - Friday Favorite

Something I have been becoming more and more passionate about is buying with a purpose.  It's so easy to got to the store and buy what you need - but when you can buy a product that also helps those in need - BONUS!

 

Today Friday Favorite is the Etsy shop Live With Less.

 

There you can buy this amazing shirt {i love it!}

 

A portion of every t-shirt that is purchased helps to provide clean drinking water for people around the world with The Mocha Club. {amazing!}

To find out more about this shirt and donating, head on over to their shop on Etsy or on facebook.

Not only will you look good, but you'll feel good knowing you have helped make a difference.

 

Please take a moment to check them out.  It'd make my day!
