Beautiul Hair Bows and Pins: Kelly Joy Boutique LIVE Giveaway
Be aware of the rules for this LIVE giveaway! Commenter #222 Wins!Continuing on with my virtual baby shower… You can’t celebrate a baby girl without bows, no that’s just wrong. I’m in love with these original baby bows from Kelly Joy Boutique.
Kelly has been making hairbows for a couple years but she says she really got into it when she found out she was expecting a little girl (she was born 01.01.10).
“As I looked around shops and online I couldn’t believe how expensive hairbows are! I knew I wanted Lily to wear lots of bows, but I wasn’t willing to pay the price for bows. I opened my Etsy shop last month and I’m so excited to offer cute bows for a great price! I also started making pins as well. So even if you don’t have a little girl, there is something in my shop for you!” She said.
She and her husband have been very happily married for almost 2 years. He is a professional violinist/teacher and she is a work from home Mama to Lily. “I am so thankful for the privilege to stay at home with her.”
Don’t stress out if your house isn’t clean or dishes are piled in the sink. Spend all the time you can snuggling with your little one because she will grow up before you know it!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll let my husband know that’s my excuse 😉

Your first comment must be letting me know your favorite item in Kelly Joy Boutique’s Shop. Then you can leave up to 2 (TWO) comments in a row before letting someone else comment before you comment again.
After someone else comments you can comment two more times, and continue in that pattern. The only rule after the first comment is that you must leave a complete sentence (no one-word comments).
If you leave a piece of “new mama advice” you can comment 3 times in a row.
If you leave advice and are a blog follower comment 4 times in a row.
And so on with these additional comment credits:
-If you RSVPd to the shower
-Vote for me on Top Baby Blogs
So let’s say you “earn” 8 comments… Once you comment 8 times, wait for someone to comment after you (at least once) and you can comment again up to 8 times in a row about ANYTHING (in a complete sentence!)
Good luck to everyone. I don’t have a little one to try to win it for. Really nice giveaways today.
Hello! My favorite item is the Brown and Pink Striped Ruffle Bow….so cute!

I learned by baby #2 to accept help when offered!!! When someone asks what they can do to help, suggest “non baby” things….I wanted time to bond with and enjoy my new baby! So people who really wanted to help I asked them to bring a meal for my older child and husband and for me too of course…I also asked for help with laundry and vacuuming, I had a csection and wasn’t supposed to lift anything heavier than baby…uh that’s hard with lots to get done! 😉
I definitely follow your awesome blog!

I’ve been gathering advice about becoming a mother. I’ve been blogging about fertility, pre-TTC, and TTC. Now… I’m finally PREGNANT!
288 1481
I subscribe to your blog too!
OOh I think I can do up to 10 comments in a row..;) I hope I’m not missing other commenters tonight…
LOve them all!
Classy Print Fabric Flower Pin is awesome!
I’m hoping we get lots of players in this soon!
Bet you’re getting excited about your LO wearing bows soon!
Hi Zealands mom! commented earlier on your bfcafe…hope you’re feeling better.
mama advice: breastmilk digests in 90 minuntes. So baby will be hungry a lot:)
(more than the every 2-3 hours that hospital tells you)
why hello there Island Girl! I should go and check your comment!
OOh and Future Mama I saw pics of your poor feet…hope the swelling has gone down! Relax and put your feet up!
I like the Classy Print Fabric Flower Pin so cute! I would use it for a decoration on a lanyard for work! :o)
mumma905708 at gmail dot com
It was just to not pump if you don’t have to…lol. I never had that problem..my kids nursed for long time periods!~ once my son nursed for hours…
BOO didnt realize what time it was! I really wanted to stay up for this!
LOL my first baby I said no paci to the nurses at the hospital and they kept giving it to him anyway. I didn’t want him to have a hard time bfing.
I subscribed via email and confirmed it just now!
mumma905708 at gmail dot com
By the time I had my daughter, I heard that pacis are good and help protect a little against sids. So I tried and tried to get her to take a paci and bought like 20 diff ones but she didn’t like it
aww stay up zealands mom! maybe it’ll go fast seems like there are a bunch of us on.!
I’m gonna have to dip out ladies 🙁
My advice for a new mom is… forget about the dishes… they will be there after the baby goes down for a nap or sleep!
mumma905708 at gmail dot com
okay goodnight zealands mom! I love that you are so helpful with bf for other moms! Its awesome!
I am submitting my 4th in a row because, well, I am now following your blog… this is a cute idea!
great advice mummatutu
following you on Twitter @mummatutu and tweeted about the giveaway http://twitter.com/mummatutu/statuses/14274361529 hopefully more will come on in!
I liked Kelly Joy Designs on Facebook… she has so pretty cute stuff! I love big flowers on my little girls head!
Uh oh I’m getting so sleepy! I hope I can stay up a bit longer!
I had swollen feet once while preggos and I went swimming in a kind of cool pool…just kind of waded around really but later that day the swelling was 100% gone! It would stay gone for a week or so,then I’d go swimming again. Just don’t jump in while pregnant…not safe for baby…;)
another advice I have is take tons of pics in the first weeks…baby grows so fast and for me I was sooooo beyond exhausted I don’t remember much! LOL!
More advice: Don’t listen to everyone’s advice. It’s hard enough trying to be a “prefect” new mom. We want to do everything right. Just do what you feel is natural to you. If someone tells you what you are doing is going to spoil your baby…. DO IT MORE!!!!!
another great advice Mummatutu! I got so much horrible advice from my MIL before my 1st…ughh.
i love the bows w/the covered buttons in the center
advice: put them down when they’re still awake
advice: ween them of a bottle at 12 months. i can assure you…it’ll be more traumatic for YOU than it will them
advice NEEDED: how do i get rid of the paci as stress-free as possible at 18 mo? i’m dreading it!
advice: get them on a nap schedule (it saved my life!)
advice: when they turn a year old start giving them a spoon to “play” with during dinner. my 16 month old daughter has been using one correctly for months.
Good morning! Hi Natalie!
My son is out of school in 3 more days! Yikes! LOL!
I am getting sooo ready for a trip somewhere! anywhere!!!
I would love to go to Orlando or San Diego! Looking for travel deals!!!
How are you doing today Future Mama?
I have no idea how to get rid of the paci, Natalie! My kids never used them…
My kids had the hardest time potty training, of all the weaning, etc we had to do….both were sooo reluctant even though they had the maturity and the physical “muscles” needed to stay dry overnight and all…
I didn’t push them or stress them though. Just let them take their time! But oh I was sooo happy to finally have them out of diapers.
i love the bows w/the covered buttons
advice: put them down when they’re still awake
advice: get them on a nap schedule
advice: get them to eat with a spoon early on
advice: get rid of the bottle right at 12 months
advice: trust your mother’s instinct.
find a great pediatrician that you love! One who has a similar concept like you, whether you are over conservative or more laid back and can wait it out sometimes…we’ve been through many peds, one overmedicated everything and overdosed my son twice! once ended up unconscious, had to call 911 and all. my current ped is awesome! she even gave me her cell number to call ANYTIME!;)
I like the black and white fabric bow. Love the blue button in the middle!

Hi Stephanie! Yeah I love Etsy too! I love to craft but don’t have the time anymore…;)
I like the hot pink daisy clip and the yellow daisy clip
Hi everyone! Hope everyone is having a wonderful evening!
OOh I love the large purple daisy headband too!
Thankfully my daughter loves all the headbands and hair clips! 😉
When my daughter was a newborn to about 4 months old she hated anything on her head or in her hair! 😉
I love the Brown and Pink Striped Ruffle Bow

I love her head bands.
I hope to win this for my niece, she would be so cute in one.
So by my count I can leave 9 comments in a row now. I hope I read the directions correctly.
I love your blog.
I like that you can put in writing what you are feeling or thinking – I try but it only comes out in a few sentences.
I am hoping for a girl this time around, but if I have a boy and I win I will give it to my BFF that is having a girl.
We am probably not going to find out what I am having until the delivery.
I keep going back and forth with myself about finding out.
My husband wants to find out and he is what is swaying me more than anything. I really want to wait though.
Last time I wanted to wait and the pressure of everyone wanting to know got to me and made my curiosity get the best of me 😀
Ok we need other commenters to join back in so that I can comment again 😀
I love the headbands. Too cute!
I know three little girls who would love to sport these.
Heck, I would love to sport one of those adorable headbands!
It is supposed to be 86 on Saturday, excited for that!
I hope when I have a baby girl she loves to wear head bands.
I am so glad I get out of work in 15 mins.
the 100th post!
I know that doesnt win anything, but still exciting.
Yay! I thought I’d have missed it because I was away so long.
We just went for a walk (we live in Dallas) and it is still hot!
We just moved into the house in November, so we were peeking trying to see who had pools so we could become friends with them 😀
OH I thought of another piece of advice but I can’t think of it now.
Right now I am feeding my 16 month old strawberries and beef pepper steak.
I am still cooking the rice for the pepper steak so my husband and I are waiting to eat.
I am so glad tomorrow is Friday, because then it’s the WEEKEND!
Weekends seem to go by so much faster than any part of the week – either because I have too much to do or I am enjoying myself too much.
Ok we need another poster so I can make 9 more random comments 😀
I love the lime teal and purple cloth flower. So Cute!
I love your blog.
I am REALLY curious to know Spawnie’s name.
Always read to your children. Read anything…books, recipes, anything that you read without even thinking about it is good to read to Spawnie.
I am already a blog follower. 🙂

I just love this style of hairbows. My daughter loves the two she got from your MOD giveaway and she is 7.
I love this style of hairbows too. My daughter’s never had any of this style but I’d LOVE her to have some to wear!
Wow I’m so happy its Friday!!! My son’s last day of school was today…woo hoo!
OOh yeah read to your child is great advice! Read to them from birth, every single day. I read to my daughter a few times a day. she’ll bring me books all the time to read to her!
Happy Saturday folks!
We are about to go swimming in our swimming pool – it isn’t a real pool, but not a kiddie pool either.
The three of us fit in it – my husband, my son and I – so it is a pretty good size.
It is pretty hot out there today though, so we will enjoy the cold water!
I think my brother-in-law is mad at me, because I told him that he couldn’t take my son to the zoo on Memorial day with my in-laws.
It’s not like I was trying to be mean – we just want to spend time with our son since we always are at work and we think it will be too hot for the zoo.
I hope I can have a baby girl some day to put cute bows like this on her! While my little guy is a joy, he just can’t do bows!! 🙂
Ok, I forgot to tell you which one was my favorite…it’s gotta be the blue and white flower hair clip.
A piece of new mama advice…double up the crib sheet and mattress pad. If you have two layers it’s so much easier to just peal off one layer when baby gets the top layer wet. In the middle of the night the last thing you want to do is completely remake the bedding!
I had the best crib sheets ever! I’d have to look up the brand but they cover the entire mattress, top and bottom and the entire top section zips on and off. It is safer for baby, no chance of baby getting strangled in a sheet that has come off…and it is soooo easy to change in the middle of the night when baby spits up or diaper leaks, etc. amazing!!! a total fave of mine of all the baby stuff we have used!
oh and I bought two complete sets, and three extra middle zip in part. You don’t have to wash the entire thing as often as the middle section where baby sleeps.
with my c section I had a very hard time changing the regular style of sheets, it is hard to get the corners on well….the other sheet sets were truly the best!
ooh I saw some diaper bags, adorable hampers, lamps, etc tons of cute items in a pattern almost exactly like yours! Its called paisley. http://www.hoohobbers.com/personalized_diaper_bags_paisley.html
With my son I went through so many diaper bags, they would fall apart in 3-6 months, even the more expensive ones! I got a hoohobbers one and it lasted years!!! I throw it in the wash every month or two and it is in perfect condition! I now have 2 for my daughter absolutely perfect condition! I even got one of her’s embroidered with her initials. I get compliments on it all the time!
I have 2 other adorable diaper bags but they are dry clean only….you probably know the brand..cute but dry cleaning for a baby bag is soooo impractical! lol!
The Blue and White Ruffle Bow with Red trim from her shop is really cute!
I love the pics of your daughter’s nursery! Its so cute!
So adorable 🙂
ktgonyea at gmail.com
I agree with previous poster that your nursery is adorable.
i am not so motivated to do mine up as nice as yours… maybe I will get their before this baby comes.
I honestly hate diaper bags!
But then again I really don’t like purses either. I will pack a diaper bag for my parents house when they watch him while I am at work, but for me I just throw a few things in a tiny bag.
I second layering the sheets and matress pads.
When my 16 month old was a newborn I bought 3 mattress pads and three sheets and layered all three on the mattress (mattress pad, sheet, mattress pad, sheet…etc) and I really liked it.
I love the Brown and Pink Striped Ruffle Bow!!
I rsvp’d to the shower

Did you guys watch American Idol last night?
There were so many people on there that I never would have imagined would do American Idol.
I kinda lost interest in American Idol last season. anything good this time around?
I am anxious to see how the Bachelorette is going to turn out though! I had never watched either Bachelor or Bachelorette, until I watched Last season with Jake (only because he was a pilot and from close to where we live – my hubby is a pilot=)). So, after getting entangled in the drama from Jake’s season, I just HAD to watch Ali on the Bachelorette. So, we’ll see!=)
I love the Green and Black Kanzashi Flower Pin
I love the large pink daisy and white crochet headband! courtneycopeland729 at gmail dot com
I also like the brown and pink striped ruffle bow. courtneycopeland729 at gmail dot com
I’m a blog follower. My advice is to make a scrapbook for your baby that you can use to teach them their letters – or include pictures of family members so they can learn their faces and names – this is especially helpful if you have a big family or if they live far away from you! courtneycopeland729 at gmail dot com

New Mama Advice: I’m not a Mom, but I’ll give it a shot! I think we’re a lot alike in terms of how we approach monumental things (like having a baby!) and something that I tell myself now in the planning stage that is equally important in the implementation stage- its ok if its not perfect. I always visualize the perfect pregnancy/birth/life and how I’m going to achieve it- but the destination is part of the journey too, and just keep your eyes on your beautiful baby girl and your time with her, not the laundry or the dishes. Savor the time!
I’m a follower too…the first post I read of yours was when you announced you were pregnant! I spent several hours reading through your old posts because I felt like I was at the place where you started- making the baby bucket list- and I still go back and read your old posts! 🙂
I RSVP’d to your shower!

Wow I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day!
What a great Day to remember all our service men and women and those who lost their lives fighting for our country.
These hair clips are so cute, I’d love them for my daughter.
My poor daughter had the stomach bug all weekend…poor girl. thankfully she is doing much better!
My vote for baby’s arrival date is June 21~ your sweet daughter will be here soon!!!!!
I love all the tutus you have made for her, I imagine how many more you’ll be making! 😉
I’m so excited to see pics of your new baby girl!
I LOVE everything about newborns! They’re soooo sweet!
I hope everyone had a good memorial day weekend and took time to remember those who gave their lives for our great country!
We cooked out – had burgers, grilled corn and homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Then we spent time in our blow up pool – I’d call it a kiddie pool but I think it is too big to be called a kiddie pool.
I am so excited that your baby girl will be here soon!
I can’t wait for my second one to be here in November… the joy of a newborn!
I mean it is tough but don’t forget to enjoy it because it does pass quickly.
Then she will be a toddler and the milestones come so quickly so you have to take the time to enjoy those moments too – even though it can be a frustrating time as well!
I love to watch him when he is focused on figuring something out and he doesn’t know I am looking – it’s just so cute to watch his expressions.
Ok this is my ninth comment – so waiting for someone else to comment so I can make nine more 😀
Good morning! Woo hoo its June!!!! 😉 Baby will be here soon!
Take tons of pics and video of your new baby! Those moments were a blur for me, I was so exhausted.
It’s been so hot here, I’m thinking its gonna be a hot summer here! sigh! 😉
I sooo want to take my kids to disney world this summer! I’m looking and looking for a great deal, I hope we can go!
We went to wdw 2 years ago and its time to go again! I want to take them before they get too old to want to go!
Those kind of memories for our family are priceless!
We went to Disneyland last summer but Disney World is so much better in my opinion! 😉
My daughter loves to go to the Bibbidi Boutique and get all dressed up as a princess. They even do their hair, paint their nails, and put on little girl makeup. It is so cute!
OMG, I love her pink & white frayed flower pin!

I like the Brown and Teal Polka Dot Ruffle Bow
My piece of mamma advice is to enjoy the little moments – the smiles, the laughs, and the kisses!
My daughter loves hair bows (as she calls anything that goes in her hair) so she’d love anything from this shop!
Did you guys watch glee last night? I can’t stop watching that show – I like that it is like a musical.
It’s hot here still and it is only going to get hotter. It is suppose to be in the triple digits today!
I was so glad when my cross fit class decided that we would workout inside today.
I am starting to show with this pregnancy now too, so everyone in my class keeps saying they can’t believe I am still working out.
I keep telling them that as long as I don’t push it to hard and I keep my heart rate under control the doctor said it was fine.
Of course sometimes I have to modify the exercises – like situps and other things where we would lie on our backs.
I love the tutu you made for the fourth of July!! It is so cute.
I hope she cooperates and comes before the fourth so she can wear it.
I am trying to get a sewing machine so that I can start making things!!
awww congrats winner!
These are super cute hair bows!
My daughter always has to have a hair bow in her hair
I love that she’s a girly girl! 😉
But I think she has less tutus than spawnie! She only has 7 that fit her! 😉
I learned how to make them but don’t have the time to make too many!
I am looking forward to seeing pics of her, soon!!! 😉
Ooh and to hear the story of her birth if you decide to share that!
Happy June, everyone!
