Owning a blog is a lot of work.
Coffee.
Thinking.
Writing.
Editing.
Head meet lap top.
Mouth meet more coffee.
Re-writing.
Publishing.
Dropping to your knees and praying that you Mother In Law never ever finds your blog by googling “Mullets”.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
And I absolutely love it.
I pour my heart and soul into what you read here on All Work And No Play.
It runs on my life experiences, unicorn farts, an unhealthy consumption of sweets, and the help of my awesome sponsors.
This month I wanted to share with you the shops I love.
Grasshopper Kidz is your go to shop for all things baby and toddler.
Oringinal handmade prints on super soft Bamboo clothing…
Like softer than you baby’s bottom.
This is a store you should definitely check out for a unique outfit for your own child or as a gift.
Check them out:
You can find these and more cute handmade clothing (sizes newborn to YL) on their website and Etsy Store.
Arcana Dea is your destination for handmade beautiful jewelry that supports two incredible causes by donating 20% of the profits to the Canadian Cancer Society and The Royal (formerly known as the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health).
You can buy something gorgeous, support handmade, and support individuals and families affected by 2 major illnesses in our society.
Here is some of Nathalie’s work:
You can find Arcana Dea on their website, twitter, and on Facebook
And last but not least, What To Expect.com.
When I was pregnant, What To Expect When You’re Expecting was my pregnancy guide.
Now they have a fantastic website which is a resource for Pregnant women and Moms providing a wealth of information to help educate and ease fears.
Their website also includes online groups, ranging from Preconception, Birthing Options, Recipe Exchange, Work At Home Moms, Stay At Home Moms to name a few, that connects you with other women.
If you’re a Mom or about to become one, this site is for you. Go check it out by hitting the button below.
I just wanted to thank my sponsors for hanging out with me here at All Work And No Play.
You are helping me more than you know.
