Freshly Picked Sandal Launch + Giveaway

Hi friends! Spring is here (or somewhat depending on where you live) and Summer is just around the corner! I always look forward to this time of year, Sun shining, Flowers blooming and the latest spring and summer fashion trends popping up on my social media feed! My favorite one that I just so happened to receive an email about was in regards to my favorite kid's shoe brand, Freshly Picked! Since my babes were born, I always had a sweet pair of Freshly Picked Moccasins waiting on them and loved how they protected their feet in the sweetest way.  Now that they are all grown up to the ripe old age of 5 and 2 (I knowI'm a little dramatic), their moccs have definitely seen better days, however thanks to the genius behind the brand, Mompreneaur Susan Peterson - Freshly Picked just launched their new line of gorgeous gender neutral leather sandals for small babes all the way up to Big Kids! These sandals are not only beautiful  they come with an amazing feature that ALL moms will appreciate!! Keep Reading....It gets good!

Freshly Picked is known for the innovative construction of the modern day moccasins for baby and toddlers, so it when it came time to create their new summer style shoe they did not disappoint! These sandals are made with PREMIUM leather (what FP is known for) allowing the straps to fit comfortably around your child's little feet. They are water-risistant so that our kiddos can still be kids!! They are constructed with a soft padded premium leather insole and cushioned sole for added comfort. My favorite feature that will have every mom reading this raising their hands singing Hallelujah! is the prong-free buckles???!!!  Can I Get An AMEN! Yes you read that right, see video below for demonstration and proof!

Is this not the best thing since sliced bread?  When we received our Freshly Picked Sandals, I could not wait to try them on my littles, amazed at how incredibly easy and stable this buckle truly is. No worries about it coming loose or kid's who are sized in between buckle holes. You just slip through and go!! And the strap lays flat and comfortable on my kiddos ankles, so no irritation or rubbing. These are truly FANTASTIC! This past Saturday, We went to our local SnoCone Shop Snopocalypse to take advantage of the nice day we were having and it was so nice to be able to slide them on, buckle and go without the hastle!

Tween Girl Fashion Spotlight: Miss Artemiss Apparel + Promo Code

So it's safe to say that McKenzie is no longer our little baby girl! I can't believe she is turning 5 years old this month! Where has the time gone? It feels like yesterday that we were bringing her home with snow falling around us in Anchorage, Alaska.

Today, we are celebrating her getting closer to the big milestone of 5 with the sun shining bright with extra heat to spare here in South Georgia!  As much as I like to think of her as my little baby, it's hard not to notice how tall she has grown within this past year alone. Going from "toddler" sizes to true "girl" size has really shaken me out of my denial. I'm so proud of the sweet young girl she has become but I have to say it's a little sad as I go through her closet setting aside all of her 5T outfits for donation :'(. I know, I know...I'm a little too sappy for my own good, lol!

My mixed emotions did start to look up as I came across the cutest little girl fashion line that a friend of mine sent my way this week called, Miss Artemiss. It's a New Orleans based, high-end apparel line for young girls that is inspired by the magical surroundings of the city and it's unique ties to the cultures of the world.

The concept behind this line offer three whimsical themes: Mystic Story, Fleur De Lis Story & Swamp Story. Each print is hand-painted with beautiful illustrations that celebrate the untamed nature and the charm New Orleans exudes.

I couldn't help but indulge in a little bit of fine apparel for our little girl stepping over that 5 year milestone and decided to add the Bee Tee and Bee Print Tote to her big girl wardrobe. I can't wait to add a little bit more each month from this collection throughout the fall season!

The Packaging is beautifully done and had my daughter jumping up and down excited to see what was inside.

Our Package came with a sweet note from the designer herself and another wonderful gift that my daughter put on right away! 

This sweet bee tattoo was such a sweet touch and an unexpected surprise in our box. Needless to say, she did not want to wash it off.

Even More Exciting! Miss Artemiss is offering 15% off promo code for all new Instagram followers and website subscribers for purchases over $35! So be sure to follow along on IG at @MissArtemiss!

Sweet Peanut Organic Clothing Company

It's snuggle time today on Fawn Over Baby blog! There's nothing better than waking up to your day without a timeline to stick to or to-do list to check off. When we are lucky to have those kind of days, our go-to attire are PJs... All DAY LONG and I'm not ashamed to admit it. The best kind of PJs are the multi-functional kind that I like to call "lounge wear". You know the kind. The ones you wear straight out of bed to the grocery store? The only thing you add are sneakers and you're good to go! Well today, I'm sharing a sweet way to introduce your kiddos to "lounge wear" from an amazing organic clothing company called Sweet Peanut.

Sweet Peanut's mission is to "Make Dressing A Joy" and that's certainly how it was with my kiddos when it came time to try on their items! The bright beautiful color and design along with the buttery soft organic fabric, my two couldn't wait to get into these!

With 14 core pieces in  7 new collections each season, there is a variety of colors and prints to choose from with hassle-free outfit coordination. Within each collection, items can be mix and matched to create the perfect ensemble for your baby. It's also perfect for when you just need to change the top or just the bottoms, you still have a pulled together look.

Since it's summertime, I chose items from the bright orange collection, "beep beep". Wouldn't you know, I could dress both my son and my daughter from this one page without too much thought going into it. 

The snug fit is absolutely perfect. It allows for free-movement without loose clothing getting in the way or tripping them up. Sweet Peanut's fabric is produced using lush 100% interlocking cotton that has been pre-shrunk to guarantee fit. All fabric has also been "bio-washed to protect baby's new skin from chemicals and toxins! That means, no need to wash before wearing! That's one less load of laundry, yay!

The icing on the cake for me, is that there are no buttons or snaps on any of their pieces as those tend to make dressing an energetic baby and kid complicated. With Sweet Peanut's easy-on/off approach, you will find wardrobe changes a breeze!

I couldn't be more happier with these pieces from Sweet Peanut and I know you will too! You can't beat easy outfits that are made from top of the line organic fabric with adorable prints and colors to choose from!
