Stuck On You Product Review and Giveaway!!


My daughter McKenzie turned 10 months this week and it is so exciting to see all the fun new developments that are taking place. From cruising around our furniture to waving and saying "bye-bye"! She is growing up so fast and it's moments like these that I love capturing so that I can look back on them years from now smiling with tears.

With that said, I am so thrilled to share my "review" photos of McKenzie's excitement over these fun skill driven, personalized items from a brilliant company called Stuck On You. Stuck On You was created and founded by Australian mommy, Carrie Fulton, as an adorable little label company that has now grown to become an international business. Stuck On You offers children of all ages an adorable selection of kid-friendly labels that are a must for keeping things organized, especially this time of year. Their educational-enriched products are a super cute and fun way to enhance your child's development and improve their management/organizational skills. You might have even spotted a few celebrity children with Stuck On You goodies, seen here and here.

Since McKenzie is not quite ready for her own personal backpack or lunch tote, we chose this darling little "Everywhere Friend" teddy bear and a "Personalized Wooden Name Puzzle" to review.

Many articles that I've read go into great lengths on how a teddy bear or stuffed animal can help boost your baby's social skills. This adorable plush teddy bear from Stuck On You's "Everywhere Friend" collection did just that. She came complete with an adorable white cotton dress trimmed with natural linen fabric, topped off with McKenzie's name beautifully embroidered along the front hem! It was so wonderful to see McKenzie's eyes light up, accompanied with a huge smile as she was introduced to her very own "McKenzie" teddy bear. She studied every inch of her new teddy, holding her hands and even gave her "kisses" and several big squeezes! I have a feeling her new plush pal is going to be her perfect little companion for the long haul!


Another wonderful Stuck On You product that will help jump start your baby's hand/eye coordination and motor skills is this puzzle! I've read that babies as young as 9 months of age have shown interest in puzzles. Most starter puzzles come as a three piece configuration, however, they are pretty hard to find. With that said, I couldn't wait to receive this bright and colorful "Personalized Wooden Name Puzzle" from Stuck On You. Although it might be a little advanced for her now, it is a wonderful tool to get her ready for each learning stage in the years to come . Right now, she is amazed by the bright vivid colors and loves picking up each individual piece by the stubby little knobs. I noticed after a while, she attempted to put a piece back on the board. Maybe it was just me imagining it, however, I'm certain there was an attempt that took place, he he! I can't wait to start incorporating this custom made puzzle in her everyday learning, especially when we are practicing the spelling of her name! From letter and shape recognition to matching the pieces with their retrospective spot, this personalized puzzle is the perfect learning tool that will grow with your baby.

"Bows For Blake" First Birthday Party From My Sweet and Saucy!

Good Morning Fawn Friends, boy( or should I say "girl") do I have a bright and beautiful birthday party for you today! Baby Blake is turning one and the adorable theme is "Bows For Blake". Mommy Melody, A Pastry Chef and owner of Sweet & Saucy Shop, decided on a theme that represented something that was a part of baby Blake's everyday life... BOWS! Melody said, "I guess I came up with it since I am always making her wear headbands and bows, so I just went with it..". This chic little soiree had the sweetest little bow accents displayed throughout, from the bountiful bow garland to the bow embellishments on all of the decadent desserts! (see item credits below)
With the help of her wonderful family and her "Sweet & Saucy Shop" team, Melody's bow-infused vision came to life creating a fun and fabulous birthday celebration that will be an inspiration to many party planners for years to come!





















Melody hung up photo wall decals from Pinhole Press  to display Blake's first year of life.
What a wonderful touch!













This adorable sign was created to display sweet details about Blake and
 everything she loves.
 Melody used a mini instax Polaroid camera to take photos of  everyone throughout
the day and used washi tape to display them on the wall.
