Military Monday

Military Monday is my way of honoring great shops owned by Military supporters. With Easter approaching I thought this week I would focus on shops that have great Easter basket items. And I have personal experience with both of these great shops.

Suds n Such has the cutest soaps for kids. I wanted to try handmade soaps for my son because I had read they were better for his eczema. Angie was so sweet to answer all my questions and tell me about the ingredients she uses. I ended up buying him the popcorn soap figuring it was a good way to try it out. This soap is so cute! Not only does it come in a “tub” like real popcorn but also it smells like real popcorn! Don’t let that scare you… the smell does not transfer to your hands. You just end up smelling and feeling clean. The best part of this soap is that it is portable. We recently took a trip and I popped a few kernels in a Ziploc baggie.

My other faves from Angie’s shop are:

Puzzle soap! I know this is supposed to be for kids but I think I want some for me.

And soap to go for kids. This is on my list for when my son gets a little older.

Another great shop with kid stuff is Monster Bug Blankets

I just purchased these Easter egg crayons for my son to give his preschool classmates. They came individually wrapped and each crayon is nestled in Easter grass. They are so cute. I am more excited about these crayons than he is! And now she has flower crayons! These little flowers would be so cute for birthday party goodies.

My other faves from Monster’s shop:

Monogrammed towel set! And don’t think these are just for little kids. They would also be perfect for your college student.

Check out the tow truck t-shirt. It is so hard to find cute boy clothes on Etsy but Monster has several boy items that are just too adorable.

March Madness!


Are you ready for the next installment of March Madness? This week, March 15-21, take an additional 25% off ALL 11x14 memory boards! They are regularly priced $31.99. The sale price will be $23.99.

Easter Goodies

Easter is just six short weeks away… what will the bunny be putting in the baskets this year? I am the first to admit that I give my son candy in his basket. I believe that kids should be kids and they have lots of time for salad. Let’s face it, not many of our childhood memories include carrot sticks! But, I know a lot of folks would rather give something sweet that doesn’t have sugar. Need some ideas? Well, here you go…

Check out these Easter egg crayons from fellow Homefront member Monster Bug Blankets. They are seriously cute!

This Fold & Go art folio is so awesome for the budding artist.

Unfortunately, my son isn’t much of a doodler and would rather hand me the crayon and order me to draw him an airplane. And he will be the first to tell you that I’m not much of an artist!

Have a bigger kid who is past the drawing stage? How about a crochet beanie from The Yarn Chick, another Homefront member? Or how about a t-shirt they can wear when they rock out to Guitar Hero? Of course if you want to give candy (or just want to treat yourself!) order up a pound of these yummy peanut butter cups from Nikid! I think I gained 10 pounds just looking at the photo.

Camillam offers a different kind of Cadbury Egg but this one won’t rot your child’s teeth. It may make them feel spoiled rotten though! The best part? It works for a boy or girl. For you military families, she has some fantastic pals that are branch specific.

Remember getting that new Easter dress and shoes when you were a kid? This little dress almost makes me want to have a little girl Almost…
