Here are my picks this week!
1. When I was pregnant with Hope and considering cloth diapers, a sweet blog reader sent me a Planet Wise wetbag for my diapers and I am just in love with it. I have the pink and brown one on the right in the back of the picture and it is amazing and makes cloth diaper washing a cinch! I just put the wet diapers in, take them to the washer, dump the diapers, turn the bag inside out, throw it in the washer and that is it, no touching of yuckiness! Plus, how cute are they? :) LOVE these!
2. Well, since this week was St. Patrick's day, I need to give a shout out to my one and only McDonald's LOVE. I am not a fan of the restaurant chain, but once these little beauties come out I am like a moth to a flame! :) I love the minty goodness of a Shamrock Shake! What is even better is if you can get your friendly McDonald's worker to give you half Shamrock, half chocolate! Oh dear! :)
3. Babylegs baby leg warmers
Like I mentioned above, I cloth diaper Hope. I WISH I had done it with my boys. It is actually fun! These sweet leg warmers make for super simple diaper changes. Hope's typical daily outfit is a long sleeved onesie, a cloth diaper, and a pair of BabyLegs! They come in SUPER cute patterns and they are NOT just for girls! They have adorable boy BabyLegs!
4. My, I mean, Hope's Nautica, Hannah Baby bedding set!
While I was pregnant with Hope and dreaming of all things girly, I loved searching through kids bedding looking for something pretty that could grow with her. I fell in LOVE with this set and we were gifted with it shortly after! :) Seriously, when I am having a moment where the kids are sucking my sanity out of me, I step in to Hope's room, it is pretty and calming and girly! I am trying to figure out a creative way to reinvent her bumper pads since she is now standing in her crib and can't have them as a bumper. If anyone has ideas on alternate uses I would love to hear them!
I had difficulty getting in to the Crock Pot groove, but now that I am here, it is a happy place to be! I love putting breakfast in before I go to bed and having a hearty breakfast ready for the family in the morning and I love throwing dinner in during the morning hours (while I still have a little energy) and having dinner cook all day and be ready when Howard gets home! I have become a HUGE fan of the Crockpot 365 blog.
This AMAZING Crock Pot Smart Pot is NOT the Crock Pot I own, but I have been eyeing them up and am thinking of making the investment soon. BUT, because I love you all and because CSN Stores has given me the opportunity to bless one lucky reader with an item of my choice, THIS my friends is the Crock Pot Smart Pot that could be ALL yours!

Entering! I am horrible in that I pretty much never cook, but I WANT to! My problem is that I can never think of what to make, never plan ahead of time (like, before i go grocery shopping), and never feel like spending more time cooking a meal than I will be eating it! A crock pot would be the perfect solution!
I too LOVE crock pots ... and it's almost time for a new one!
How wondeerful is this!! I am entering your drawing and will be back with a product of choice for the website!! Your blog is awesome!! You are so talented!!
I've been checking out the new crock pots too, but haven't had an excuse to purchase a new one. Winning one would be even better though! Thanks for the chance! :-)
Just posted about it on facebook too! :-)
I LOVE using the crockpot!! Mine is about worn out...my husband has actually glued the handle back on! ;) I've had thoughts of looking for a new one. Winning one would be even better!! :)
I Love doing Crock Pot suppers. I am a working Mom and it's great to walk in the door with dinner practically ready and the house smelling yummy! I hope I get picked!
Mmmm... crock pot! I honestly haven't used one. If you get a chance... share (or link) some of your fav breakfast items to make. This is the first time I've heard of using it for breakfast :).
Did a facebook status about the giveaway too.
Never thought of using the crock pot to do breakfast! I'm going to have to check that out.
About the crib bumpers, my sister in law made hers into valences :)
my crockpot just broke and I need another one. Hope I win!
I did a FB post too:) Thanks for the info about the crockpot blog. I think I may be addicted.
I think my favorite iteam at CSN is the Patch Magic Fairy Tale Princess Quilt. So cute and my girls would love it!
I LOVE crockpot cooking but mine is 9 years old--would love to win this one :)!!!!
I also love crock pot cooking...makes life so easy! And, Shamrock Shakes are also one of my favorites. My husband promised me that he would pick one up for me last week and he forgot. I'm so hoping that they still have them today! :)
Okay, my favorite thing from the CSN stores...
I've never heard of the CSN stores site and I must admit, I can't stop browsing! The first thing I look for when I find a site like that is something orange for my kitchen. I own the Rachael Ray cookware in orange and the Wolfgang Puck cookware in orange as well as many Wolfgang Puck items in orange.
SO, my favorite thing so far on the CSN store site is the Rachael Ray “Bubble & Brown” 9" x 13" Stoneware Lasagna Lover in Orange! I want that pan so badly I can't stand it!
LOVE that crock pot!!!!!!!
I love to use my crockpot but it is the old "granny" style. I would love a new fancy one!

I absolutely love knowing that I can have a meal ready to go, turn on the crockpot, leave, then return to a wonderful meal!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

I'm newly married and would love a crock pot to make my life easier!
Crock pots are awesome! What a fun giveaway!
I checked out the website, and I love the educational toys that they have, especially the good quality puzzles. I work with autistic kids, so I'm always looking for more supplies to use with them.
My favorite item at CSN is the JOJODesigns Sophia Kidd Bedding Collection. I just love the cute pink and black! :-)
I am just learning to love my crockpot for dinners! BUT mine has a football field printed around it (leftover from college football parties of where all I made were meatballs) - I would love love love a fancy new one!
I can't believe how many CSN store items there are! I'm in love with the buffet furniture! Realistically, I probably need / can afford a new skillet from housewares!
this is wonderful!
I need a crockpot-with 4 children on the go constantly it would be great! Thanks !
I am a bona fide Crockpot addict. I have 1 huge one, 2 med size ones and hubby just bought me a double crockpot (It has 2 crock side by side)I do a lot of out of home entertaining and use my crocks on a weekly basis, in the summer there is one going everyday!
I've never heard of putting breakfast in the CrockPot and cooking it overnight. What a terrific idea! What types of CrockPot breakfast dishes do you make?
I am new to your blog and am really enjoying reading about your family.
Blessings,
Pamela
Entering! I LOVE crock pot cooking. If I wait until the end of the day, my dinner plans usually fall apart due to a cranky toddler or a cranky me. :)
I love crock pots too:)
Love crock pots...so easy to make dinner and always so yummy!
I would LOVE this ! I need to become better at feeding my family with strange and even more odd hours !
Stopped by the CSN website. I love the handpainted blue star growth chart. I've been looking for one for my boys and that is so cute!

Ooh, a new crock of pot would be awesome! :-) I recently got the one from Hamilton Beach that has a "seal" so you can take it on the road and it won't spill! Genius for taking things into work, especially with all those 17% + grade hills I have in Seattle.
But, winning a crock would be super fun! Great giveaway!
I'd love a new crock pot. Mine is getting really worn. =)
My family would starve if not for crock pot cooking...and my current crock pot is not long for this world, I am afraid. I would love a new one!!!
Enter me please! I hate to cook but love to crockpot:). The Crockpot365 blog is awesome- I've probably made 15-20 different recipes off of there! Congrats to Hope for winning the Tutu model contest!
I am entering to win the contest! But also wanted to share with you what a friend of mine did with her little girls' sweet crib set. She ended up turning it into a patchwork quilt for her twin sized bed after! She used all the fabric, then also got some coordinating fabric from a store, and added that in. It is really beautiful! Cute right?
PS thanks for your encouraging words, it is so appreciated:-) when you have a sick kid, to know that people are thinking and praying
Thanks for the link to a crock pot blog. I love the simplicity of cooking this way. Hope I win.
Oh!!! The CBS stores have the cutest hand painted growth charts !!
Love my crockpot too and would love to win! Thanks for the chance to win! tonidreist@yahoo.com
I love it that the things you love are things I love also! I started cloth diapering with my second and am a huge fan of baby legs and teh Planet Wise wetbags. They make it so fun!
Love the Ladybug comforter set. My granddaughter would LOVE it..have to think aobut it..ha! Thanks for the giveaway. I love crockpots, so nice to use allyear long.
I love my crockpot, but its about on its last legs I think. I use it all year round, IN teh winter its so comforting to smell the food cooking on a cold winter day, and in the summer it cooks while not heating my house up so bad. I would love a new crockpot. Wendy
They have so many great products but one of my favorites if the Zevro Wall-Mount Dispenser. My kids would love to use that.

With a family of 6, I could definitely use another crock pot.
I like the Kathy Ireland Home by Hallmart Daisy Crazy quilt.
OHHHH....I could use a crock pot... :)
Our crockpot lid just broke. This would be fabulous to win!
I have a 25 year old crockpot that I got when I got married. I think that it is on its last leg, though I have gotten lots of good use out of it. I would LOVE a new one!!!
I really really need a new crock pot...they are the best thing since sliced bread, really.
