Mother's Day: DIY Footprint Tile Gift

These footprint tiles are super easy to make and really cheap to buy. My parents have loved getting them for gifts. Even though they don't look all that expensive, I love walking by them every time I go into my house. It reminds me of how tiny their feet were once!

This was the first tile that we did. You can buy the tiles from Home Depot for $1.34 each, so they are really cheap to do if you have washable paint around.

The first few tiles I made, we used washable paint and then put a waterproof sealer over them to keep the paint strong through the elements.

Now, we actually stamp the tiles with waterproof, washable paint and then I take a brush and paint over them with acrylic paint. Either way works, but I find that they tend to fade over time, so I usually repaint them at the beginning of every summer.

What about you? Any fun projects you do for Mother's Day? I always love new {cheap} ideas!

Mother's Day Week!

It's Mother's Day Week at MiniMe BabyGear!

Each day this week, I am going to feature something exceptional to give Mom for her big day.

Circles of Sentiments was one of my first vendors when I started MiniMe BabyGear four years ago. I have always loved the looks of this necklace and how beautiful it is when worn.

Inevitably, when a customer orders this necklace, two things happen:

1) I get an e-mail telling me how much they LOVE the necklace.

2) They almost always come back for more.

I love the classic lines, the beautiful hand stamping, the little charms. This really is one great necklace for mom on Mother's Day.

Get yours for $45, but order soon! Last day to order is April 23.

My Favorite Everything

Let's face it. I have had my fair share of product reviews here at MiniMe BabyGear.

This one, written by Shanna of My Favorite Everything, takes the cake. I could not be more honored that she wrote such an awesome review, and said so many wonderful things.

It feels good to be loved:-)

While you are over there, check out a few other posts. Her writing style is easy to read and full of whit and humor. What sets her apart from other "review sites" is that she inserts her whole person into the products she loves and recommends. It feels like your just reading a good friend's e-mail. Oh and one look at her "About Me" section had me cracking up, especially the pole dancing reference.

As you can tell, I love back.

A few NEW items

I am slowing trying to add new items to the site--I hope you love them as much as I love finding them!

If there is anything you feel is a good fit for MiniMe BabyGear, I would love to hear about it! I am always on the look out for the next "must-have".

Spring Break

It has been a little while since my last post, and for that I am sorry!

We were on Spring Break last week. That, coupled with my son's second birthday, left little time for blogging.

I have some great new products and sales coming...details soon!

I hope you had a fabulous spring break as well!

Happy Easter!

My kids are at their third Easter Egg hunt today, with one more tomorrow. Target tempted me with their great Easter section, so they also have an Easter basket this year full of goodies.

If this holds, they are going to love Easter almost as much as Christmas.

In all seriousness, Kayden made Resurrection Eggs in school, and it is one of my favorite preschool projects ever. Twelve plastic eggs are in an egg box, and each egg holds something that represents a part of the death and resurrection of Christ. For example, there is a flower for the Garden of Gethsemane (try saying that when you are five), a cross, a sponge representing the vinegar, a sword, etc.

We have hauled that box all over town showing grandparents and aunts. He is so proud of it. I love it when he gets to the last {empty} egg. He always gets a great big smile on his face and says "Ah-ha! He is not here!"

As you go to celebrate tomorrow, may you also feel blessed by the true meaning of Easter!

"He is not here, He has risen!" Mark 16:6

Another Wet Happened? review

I got the sweetest e-mail this week from April, who said:

"I know it has been ages since I ordered the wet bag from you, but I still love it! It is one of the best purchases I ever made! I take it on every vacation and every time I take the kids to the pool."

Thanks so much for e-mailing me, April! I am so happy you are pleased with your Wet Happened? wet bag!

Drool

that is really all I can do over these new crocheted shoes.

These are on my ABSOLUTE must have list if I ever have a girl. I need to talk her into doing a few boy pairs, huh?
