Mamas Like

Allison Strine is an artist; a true artist who offers her work for sale to everyone to enjoy. In her Etsy store, Allison Strine Designs, she offers jewelry, magnets, and cards all with her personal design. I found Allison from another review, and after discovering her magnets, I bought 5. I couldn’t decide on my favorite design, so I bought a bunch!

My favorite designs include the quotes about “She.” “She” is the every-woman that we all know inside ourselves. “She” is the embodiment of all of us women. “She” is me. And Allison created her for me to wear, put on my fridge, and admire.

One of the most creative ways Allison creates her art is through her license plate art. In her words, “each very individual charm is created with a real and really old license plate snippet, encased in a glass and silver box of beauty.” Not only is she recycling like a good little citizen, but she is creating fanTAStic art to wear.

If you haven’t yet heard of Etsy, RUN CLICK on over now after you enter for the giveaway. Etsy is one of the best sites on the internet, and it is THE best site for finding handmade art sold by the artists themselves.

Own your own art that speaks to you. Ms. Artiste, Allison, is offering a giveaway of a $35 gift certificate to her Etsy store just for Mamas Like readers. Leave a comment here letting Allison know which “She” quote is your favorite to enter in the giveaway. One lucky winner will be chosen on Wed, March 5th, at 11:59pm EST. The winner will be posted here on Mamas Like and on Prizey Winners.

As a girl, I love stuff with my name on it. (Maybe it’s my ego, but I love seeing that “A” on stuff.) And as a former teacher, I love companies that make stuff with my name on it AND for teachers. What could be better? At My Little Monkey Boutique, you can put it all together for some personalized teacher goodness.

I was able to personalize my note cards down to the color of her hair, the clothes, and of course, the name. And because I’m no longer a teacher (rather, a channel to bring you, my blog friends, the best from moms), I designed the personalized stationery specially for my teacher friend as a gift. So, if you love your kiddo’s teacher (as you SHOULD, even if you don’t - make sense?), she deserves girlie stuff with her name on it.

Show of hands - who loves giveaways? (Do it - raise your hand.) My Little Monkey Boutique is giving away a set of 20 personalized teacher note cards to one of our lucky readers. Comment here to let MLMB know which design is your favorite for the teacher in your life. And if you’re a homeschool mama (or daddy), win some for yourself! You deserve it! Giveaway is open until Tues, Feb 26 at 11:59pm EST.

But aren’t you all lucky just for reading what I write? Just for that, My Little Monkey Boutique is giving our fab readers 10% off your rders until the end of May with coupon code LIKE10.

Congrats to #88 Margaret S. who is the winner of the ribbon watch from ThreeChickadees!

Both Dawn and I are both away for a few days, and neither one of us is taking our kids! No, we’re not together, unfortunately, but it just so happens that we’re both gone at the same time without kiddos.

To all of our readers and reviewees (spell-check doesn’t like that word, so I’ll have to add it to the dictionary - I’ll credit myself), thank you SO much for all of your support these past few months. We LOVE writing for Mamas Like and giving exposure to other moms and their businesses. PLEASE be patient with us in posting reviews. We’re trying hard, but we’re both getting busier by the day with our other endeavors.

Until we’re back, I’d like to offer our fantastico (made that one up, too) readers a great giveaway from my store, Good for the Kids.

I have hundreds (yes, hundreds) of people clambering to get their hands on the newest safe sippy cup on the market, The Safe Sippy cup by Kid Basix (value = $14.95 each). I have TWO (one blue, one teal/green) to give away to our readers!

Leave a comment here, and when we’re back on Friday, Feb 22nd, we’ll draw TWO winners. We’ll email the two lucky commenters and post their first names here.

Contest is open to commenters until 11:59 EST Feb 22. Please enter only once.

Three friends, or ThreeChickadees, came together four years ago to design fun accessories for both mamas and kiddos. What they ended up with is an adorable line of watches, belts, headbands, skirts, and key fobs for all of us. ThreeChickadees designs all of the accessories themselves created from exquisite ribbons and high-quality products.

My girls love the adorable belts they received, and they match the high quality available in those fancy expensive kiddie stores. Along with belts, ThreeChickadees offers watches with interchangeable ribbon bands to match every outfit and purse. You can even find adorable skirts just in time for summer!

For MamasLike readers, ThreeChickadees is offering FREE shipping until Feb 20th when you use coupon code ~ mamaslike ~ upon checkout.

Giveaway? ThreeChickadees is giving away the watch of your choice ($26 value) to one of our readers! Comment here letting know which watch pattern you’d like, and we’ll pick a winner on Thursday, Feb 21st. Good luck!

Contest is now CLOSED.
