This is the exact reason why Mommies United love Olive Kids! We love how unique each room set is and the fun vibrant colors! Each of us were lucky enough to try a different variety of items, and we all thought the same thing "we love Olive Kids!"
Each room theme has all the accessories you will need to make the room complete, from personalized wall art, to bedding, even wall clocks! You can even find the finishing touches to any room with the drawer knobs!
One feature that we love from Olive Kids is that they also sell their fabric by the yard. The fabrics can be used to make accessories, window treatments, table skirts...anything you can think of.
If your looking for fun and colorful children's bedding be sure to check out Olive Kids!

Cuddlebee was created by a fashion- forward designer mom, especially for mom's who want to pamper their baby with style & luxury. Say goodbye to cloth diapers & gingham checks as burpcloths.... Cuddlebee offers fabulous fabric choices & combine them with super soft chenilles. They use only unique fabrics, luxurious silks, and a touch of yesterday’s flair. Created to pamper baby with style and texture...and for the mom who wants their little one to be as stylish as they are.
All of the tips you wrote are truly fabulous, but we all had to pick our favorite. As tough as it was, I present you with our favorite tips:
Shana's tip - When washing your pillows if you put a few clean tennis balls in the wash with them, the filling in your pillows won't bunch up as bad.
Team Cooper's Tip - I take a picture of each of her masterpieces and save it on the computer and eventually on a CD (so after its time on the refridgerator it finally makes its way to the trash and Trinity seems OK with this arrangement). This way we have kept it without actually keeping it. (This is also good for those things made with perishable items like marshmallows, popcorn, etc...) I also love this because I can run a slideshow of just her art on the computer, share it with distant relatives and sometimes post here on the blog.
Mrs. MandyPoo's Tip - If you get a scratch on a CD, rub toothpaste (the kind without any type of beads in it) over the entire CD and let it dry. Then take a cotton ball and wipe the toothpaste off from the inside out. (Start at the center and wipe in a straight line towards the outside of the CD. Keep doing it all the way around the CD). You will probably go through numerous cotton balls and if you let the toothpaste dry too long, it can take you a few minutes to rub off, but I've used this technique quite a few times and it has worked each time!
Stacey's Tip - My tips: 1. We like to sleep and are rushed every morning to get out the door on time so to help manage the morning I get outfits (for both kids and myself) for the week ready on Sunday. I get everything ready: for Ella that includes shoes, socks, panties, hairbows, bracelets, necklace, etc. This eliminates rushing around at the last minute looking for something to wear or a hairbow that matches!! 2. My best friend could write a book on tips!! My two favorite quick tips that I learned from her: If you are boiling something and it getting close to the top just spray some PAM (spray oil) and it will keep it from boiling over!! 3. If the zipper on your favorite pants won't stay up just spray it with hairspray and that will keep it up!!
Which tip is YOUR favorite? We want to know! Leave your vote here in the comments, then run over and leave a comment for the tipster, too!
Remember, the tip with the most votes by March 31st will win the See Me Read Kit!
Blush Topless started out with two women looking for the same product, one having a long torso and the other being pregnant they both had the exact same problem, neither of their shirts were fitting. Blush Accessories welcomes you to a product that helps adjust the clothes you already have to fit you perfectly. This is a shirt that is to be worn like a tube top, but around the waist. The tops are made of a poly/rayon/spandex blend, allowing a huge amount of stretch and great support.
These tops are great for every woman, pregnant or not. Be sure to check out all the different colors. They make great layering tops, and help cover up your"assets"

The Original Bath Bib allows moms and dads to safely and securely remove little ones from the bathtub without the awkwardness of holding a towel under your chin, on your lap, on your shoulder, or placed on a yucky floor or toilet. The Original Bath Bib remedies this cumbersome daily routine by giving parents a convenient, soft, oversized, contoured towel that cleverly fastens around your neck using straps attached by Velcro. When removing baby from the tub, simply pick him up using your two free hands, place baby comfortably on your chest, and wrap baby with the lower portion of The Original Bath Bib.

Is there someone special in your life who wears braces? My sister did, and it was always so difficult for her to find yummy stuff to eat that didn't get stuck in those darn braces!
There's good news! Celebrity Chef Gale Gand has teamed up with the American Association of Orthodontists to create braces-friendly recipes for the more than 5 million North Americans that currently wear braces. These recipes are braces safe, which means they don’t include ingredients that are chewy, hard, sticky or crunchy. Orthodontists recommend avoiding these foods so that orthodontic treatments aren’t damaged or prolonged.
Baby wipes are also great for cleaning vinyl or leather surfaces, try cleaning your car steering wheel and see all the gunk that comes off.
Don't have time to freshen up before an appointment? Grab a wipe and feel nice and fresh without showering.
You can also make your own sanitizing wipes just place a little hand sanitizer on the wipe and clean your little ones hands. This works great for all the germs in public places.
Don’t forget baby wipes are not just for babies, try them next time you use the restroom. They make you feel nice and clean.
We wanted to share pictures of our kiddos coloring the coloring page! Be sure to print it out and have your kids color it and share it with us!!
Here are Amanda's girls coloring!
