  I had the chance to try out a couple of products from this great site. The first product I received was the Lucy's Socks. 

Now, I wish my twin girls were here to model these adorable little socks. I've seen socks before like these - but never quite as adorable and designed so well. The satin bow that adorns each sock is just too cute!! The array of colors you get with this set of 6 is great, so you'll have a sock for every outfit. The socks are good quality and perfect for little ones who aren't yet walking around or wearing shoes. I know these will be a staple in my twins' wardrobe! These come in the most adorable gift box, so trust me when I tell you that they would make a great shower or new-baby girl gift for someone. (For boys, they have Baby Oxford Socks that I just love, too! I wish I had these for my now two year old!)

I also had the opportunity to receive the Peek O Fabric Activity Box.

This interactive fabric box is perfect for little ones - helping develop auditory, visual and cognitive skills. My two year old thought it was for him and spent a good amount of time, quietly playing with it. This is rare. So I know if he enjoyed it, the girls will just love this toy when they begin to play. There is just a lot going on - a bird noise, teething ring, visual patterns, textures and the dog that hides out inside the box is great!

{Not So Perfect Birth Story}

While the birth of my son marked the happiest day of my life, I used to talk little about the actual delivery. I thought that it did not fit in with the expected 'norm' of how a birth should go.  Now, as I'm expecting twins, I am more prepared for the unexpected because I have no idea what to expect.

I'm excited to have shared my not-so-perfect first delivery story over at FTM Blog! Head on over to check out the post & check out Bert's awesome blog!
