I am so excited to be participating in my first blog giveaway events! The first event is "From Our Heart to Yours" hosted by Life With Two Boys Mama-Nibbles and With Our Best.

These are all wonderful blogs and I'm so honored to be participating in their first ever Valentines Event.

Now, on to the good stuff.  This is your sneak peak into the event.  As a military wife you often run across other military wives and develop the most unconventional of friendships.  Being in the position that we were in I didn't have access to what some might consider the normal military life, with a base and a commissary and all.  So many of my closest military gal pals are girls that I have met through online support groups and the like.  I consider this event sponsor to be in that category.  We met online, through facebook.  We are both crafty ladies and have shops on there.  I am happy to introduce you to the lovely talents of Amber!  She is an active duty Navy Submariner's Wife who is a WAHM of three boys.  She describes herself as having a passion for "creating and sewing" and it "has been a great outlet for all of my ideas.  It also allows me to stay home while proving some income for our family.  I create and deliver custom sewn or crafted products to your specifications.  I specialize in military products but I will do anything to make your sewing needs become a reality".   On top of that she is a Mary Kay consultant (check her site out).

Here's a little sampling of some of my favorite things she just whips up for people!  I swear, sewing is just one thing I never have gotten into and I'm crazy jealous of her skills.

PetCakes Review and Giveaway!

I am so excited to be reviewing this adorable stuffed animal for you guys! I mean, if my kids didn't love them I totally would. Its an animal that looks like a cupcake? Seriously adorable right? I popped these little things open and my daughter especially went nuts. She's three and anything that looks like a cupcake is number one in her book. And the top was purple, which is her favorite color. My five year old boy was a little harder sell, but squirrels are his favorite animal this particular second and the fact that I was sent a squirrel for him increased his interest. both of my kids thought these animals were extremely cute and I whole-downheartedly agree.

Here's a little bit about the company.

Well Made™ Toy Manufacturing Corporation, introduces PetCakes™, a new collectible plush pet line that will be a sweet treat for children ages 3 & up. Each PetCakes animal features a "frosting" hat, comes nestled in its own cupcake wrapper and has its own whimsical backstory. At first look, children will see a delicious cupcake but will then be surprised by the pet they find snuggled inside! Combining sweet faces and cuddly plush with a clever cupcake theme, PetCakes are collectible and provide hours of open-ended imaginative play. PetCakes make perfect gifts for a special friend and for pet lovers. They are ideal for birthday party favors, stocking stuffers and as rewards for good grades. Most of all, PetCakes deliver the kind of fun kids eat up!






For my review I received two from the Series 2 Limited Collection grouping. I received the adorable Nutty Nicky (Squirrel) and Roco Coco (the racoons). Stuffed animals in general aren't of great interest for my five year old son, but my three-year-old daughter scooped these things right up and just absolutely fell in love. Although secretly I caught my five year old putting him with his stash of animals on his bed. I think these would be a perfect little gift for your little girl 3 - 8. PetCakes is working on a interactive world for the PetCakes, so I could see this toy going for older girls that love that sort of thing. So keep an eye out for that.

Buy it: You can get these petcakes in 8 different varieties and right now there are some specials running!

Thanks for stopping by for this weeks Military Spouse fill-in. Please check out my military tab up top. I'm always updating it with the latest info. If there is something specific you are looking for please let me know. Also, if you are looking for some specific and more private support I'd love to have you check out my forum, Love and Dogtags.





1. My favorite song of the season is Silent Night.

2. Anyone who faces extreme hardship and does something great is someone who inspires me because even ordinary people can be super human. I think we often don't give people the benefit of the doubt or expect greatness from people. People can surprise us.

3. If I had $100,000 to give to a charity, I’d give it to something to do with Children. Either Shriner's, St. Judes or the Ronald McDonald House. They are all so important.

4. If I had a theme party, I’d make it a decades party. Come dressed from your favorite decade. Love it!!!

5. If I had one wish for my kids/future kids/some young person I care about, it would be to make themselves proud. So many times we do things for others, or what others think we should do. But if we really look inward and do something that actually makes us proud of ourselves, I think that's an even greater thing.
