Be Yourself, Together with #TargetWedding

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Target Wedding. All opinions are 100% my own.



My wedding seems so long ago now and considering we just celebrated our six year wedding anniversary plus everything we have been through together - it makes sense. But most of my friends are still about to embark on this part of their lives. I have two very good friends getting married next month and I honestly had no idea what to get them. I wanted to get them something that fit them perfectly despite their glowing differences. So when I was contacted by Target Wedding to come up with a wedding gift combination that could celebrate the differences between couples using their theme "Be Yourself, Together", I jumped at the opportunity.

Here is a little description of my friends, he is a little bit country while she is a lot city. He is a penny pincher and she is just learning (since being with him) the concept of the value of a dollar. He is super athletic and very active outdoors. Although she is in shape, she has only started becoming active outdoors since she has been with him. She was the kind of girl that spent tons of time decorating her room and making it the perfect place to lounge.

So I thought why not get them something that could encourage both of their lifestyles.



What is more perfect than the Schwinn Legacy Cruisers and a cozy bed with the Threshold Puckering Comforter Set to come home a snuggle in? I feel like this represents Target Wedding's "Be Yourself, Together" mantra because they can enjoy what he loves during the day (and what she growing to love) and then after a long day of bike riding they can enjoy what she likes.



What makes us unique as couples is what made us fall in love with our significant others in the first place. And Target Wedding gets it. You can view the entire Target Wedding Catalog online.

What would you put on your Target Wedding Registry that would help you be better together?

Nuby Tub Time Turtle {Review}

I received the product featured below for the purposes of review. All opinions, as always, are my own.

Being a Nuby Mommy Blogger I get to try out all sorts of exciting new products. I was very excited when I received the opportunity to have Sweet Pea test out Nuby's new bath toy - Tub Time Turtle.

Nuby Tub Time Turtle Review

Nuby's Tub Time Turtle is a fun and interactive bath time toy that floats on the water's surface so it is always within easy reach. When you lift Tub Time Turtle out of the water, your child can experience waterfall fun!

Nuby Tub Time Turtle Review

Tub Time Turtle's packaging says it is for child 9 months plus and my 33 month old thoroughly enjoys playing with it. The little flippers are easy for your child to grip. And I love that it is BPA free. Sweet Pea loves bath time. It hasn't always been this way. Cool toys like Nuby's Tub Time Turtle are what help make bath time fun for her.

Nuby Tub Time Turtle Review

My Sweet Pea also likes stacking her other Nuby bath toys in the bowl part of the Tub Time Turtle. Tub Time Turtle can be purchased online at Amazon.com, Diapers.com, or in-store at Buy Buy Baby.

Pink Blush Maternity Review

I received free product from Pink Blush Maternity to provide this review, all opinions are my own.


Pink Blush Maternity has incredibly stylish and affordable maternity and nursing clothes. When I was pregnant with Sweet Pea, I lived in yoga pants and sweatshirts because affordable, stylish maternity clothes just did not exist. That's what I love about Pink Blush Maternity, the prices! I reviewed the Aqua White Embroidered Maternity/Nursing Top. And they have tons of other great tops and even dresses!

Pink Blush Maternity Review

I absolutely LOVE this top! The detail is gorgeous and I can't wait for it to start expanding with my growing belly. Unfortunately my hubby wasn't home and hasn't had time to take a picture of me wearing it and falls well below my waistline that I would need him to take it for the full effect. I love this top so much I was wearing it before I found out I was pregnant. I went to the store and the cashier told me she loved it, I surprised her when I told her it was a maternity shirt. The only downside to this shirt is that it is dry-clean only. Who has time for that?! But I have been managing to use an at home dry-clean method and it has been working.

They have tons of other cute styles and I highly recommend them. Make sure to drop by and have a look as well as checking them out on Facebook or Twitter.

Don't forget to check out our $25 Gift Card Giveaway!
