Giveaway! Frolic in the Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book & Win One Too!

by Julie Posted on May 20, 2013

I’m very much a fan of Laurence King publishing’s unique selections in activity books. I’ve reviewed some here in the past.  Their books tend to be imagination sparkers, more than just coloring, they provide a springboard to one’s imagination.

There’s a reason I’m not specifying children as the target market here.  Their newest release by Scottish based artist Johanna Basford appeals to my grown up sense of wonderment as much as it does my seven year old daughter’s.  Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure and Coloring Book is a sublime labyrinth of gorgeously detailed coloring pages, and yet it’s so much more.

c86d39873dcb1f230abbb0346f2faedb

The journey begins on the first page, where the reader is provided a key of images to be found within Basford’s amazing floral illustrations, hence the treasure hunt.  The next level is the actual coloring.  This book is not for the non-comittal or the scribbler.  I’d recommend it for older kids and it is admittedly quite satisfying for adult use as well.  Do not attempt this with anything but well-sharpened colored pencils; some areas are quite tiny and attention to detail is key.  This is some serious coloring!

Among the 63 lush illustrations, Basford  has included fun interactive challenges, such as BI_130416_garten_malbuch_01adding some birds perched on her adorable scarecrow, completing some flowers with your own petals, adding design elements to simple flora, and several mazes.  These activities are bound to ignite a blossoming (pun intended) artist’s interest in the design world.

Done well, each and every one of these pages is stunningly frame-worthy.   My daughter and I have been having a blast collaborating on pages; those are keepers for sure!

Here’s a pretty peek inside the Secret Garden:

Due to popular demand, Secret Garden is sold at the publisher’s website, but is available below list price ($14.95) at Amazon and Barnes and Noble for just $10.76.  This is a steal for days of thought provoking activity, not to mention a great gift idea!

WIN

Laurence King has kindly offered one lucky TAV reader their very own copy of  Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure and Coloring Book!  You could give it as a gift, but you may not want to part with it.  Simply enter via Rafflecopter below….

DIT (Do It Themselves): Mother’s Day Fruit Plates… Help Them to Treat You Right!

by Julie Posted on May 8, 2013

Not to brag, but I am fairly lucky when it comes to my children’s eating habits.  My seven year old is not only willing to try anything, but she actually makes conscious decisions to eat healthy (ok bragging a little).  I’ve seen her bypass  a cookie for a peach, filling my heart with happiness. My youngest is pickier, but at age five she is also making smart choices, though will seldom pass up that cookie.

IMG_2112I’ve never had much trouble getting them to eat fruits and veggies, but when it is dessert time, some coaxing is often in order to keep them satisfied with simply fruit.  It’s my own fault.  I’m a big fan of dessert myself, so it sometimes becomes a bit of a habit until I remind myself to break that cycle.

My favorite way to make the fruit more enticing is toIMG_0982
 make fruit plates. Sometimes they are elaborate, sometimes simply silly.  Regardless – they always get a great response and then gobbled up!  Not only do we enjoy eating them, but they are also a real pleasure to create.  It’s become something of a zen activity for me.

You can only imagine my joy when my little ones began asking me to cut fruit for them to design their own fruit plates!  It’s become quite a hobby for my youngest and I must say she’s got a knack for it.  We often incorporate veggies too.

Now I  really will start bragging.  Last weekend I was awakened twice with fruit plates IMG_2141made with child labor and love.  The one to the right was admittedly made with help from my man – there’s even an egg in the bowl at its center ~ super yum! Perhaps the best part, is when the girls announce themselves proudly and climb into my bed to help me eat their delicious art!

I can’t wait to see what my lovelies create for me next weekend!

Help your kiddos treat you!  Simply cut the fruit the night before and keep it in covered containers in the fridge.  Leave a plate out within their reach and earn yourself an extra 15 minutes or more of sleep!  Proudness and sweetness all around!

The company has thoroughly thought out their own effects on the environment – my ttpm6pxkskeptical mins led me to first wonder- what about the effects of shipping and packaging on the environment?  These thoughts did not escape Conscious Box either; they use 100% post-consumer recycled cardboard, recycled tissue paper, and vegetable-based inks for printing.  Their boxes are also streamlined to increase shipping efficiency.  In order to offset the remaining emissions, Conscious Box is a member of 1% for the Planet, an awesome organization which links companies with environmental nonprofits.

Valentine’s Made Easy: Red Envelope

by Julie Posted on February 4, 2013

To me, Red Envelope has always been the place to go when looking for a present that’s unique, classy, and won’t necessarily break the bank.  They have helped me through a couple of gift giving conundrums in the past and while browsing for others, I couldn’t help RED_12_MDY_TY401106_KB_WA2_SQ but notice several items I wouldn’t mind receiving myself (like the cashmere tank + short set or adorable personalized tree swing - hint hint!)  That’s why I was so excited to be offered a credit to spend on Red Envelope in order to write this review.  Thanks again!

AP_12_GEN_AP401220_W1_RCForce of habit had me first check out the kids section - tons of cute stuff, especially for baby gifts.  But, hey, my girls are getting bigger and they just got tons of stuff for the holidays, so I decided to treat myself for a change!  It didn’t take me long to find the beautifully crafted Marshall headphones listed on their Valentine’s Day suggestions page.

Until now, I’ve never owned  quality headphones in my life.  Most of my many tangled pairs originated from a sale rack or an airline.  My less than average head-size makes finding a comfortably snug fit very difficult.  Even the “kids” size I purchased for my five year old fall of my head – and hers.  The Marshall headphones are a perfect fit!  They stay put and the padding is super soft.  I was a little concerned that GE_11_GEN_GD400942_W1_RCthe pleathery material would make me sweaty, but I was dry even after a brisk two mile hike.  As for the sound quality, they are about ten steps up from every other pair of headphones I’ve used.  Crisp and clear, they also block out background noise very well.

Although, I’m not huge on Valentine’s Day, I do love finding the perfect gift and Red Envelope simplifies that process.  Your music-lover love would certainly be pleased with these super stylish headphones the sale price of $64.99 can’t be beat, unless you use one of Red Envelope’s many great coupon codes to drive the price of your purchase even lower!

Baby it’s Cold Outside! Giveaway: Two Leaves Tea Company

by Julie Posted on January 28, 2013

I have mixed feelings about what seems like a colder than average winter in Los Angeles.  Having grown up in the Philadelphia area, you’d think I’d have a thicker skin, but maybe my twelve years out here has made me soft.  I’m not complaining, but if I’m going to shiver, I’d like a little bit of snow along with it.

Luckily I’ve held onto my winter coats and scarves over the years so that I can bundle up, 546456_460333323988406_1327667446_nbut they don’t quite do the trick.  There’s nothing like a hot drink to truly warm away these winter chills.

Lately, I’ve been enjoying mine in the form of Paisley Tea Co.’s english style teas.  Organic, and fair trade, these paper tea bags have over 10% more leaves packed into each bag to brew a stronger cup of tea.  Normally, I use two tea bags in my travel mug, but with these lovely blends, there’s no need.

When it comes to my morning cup of Earl Grey, the more bergamot the better.  There is nothing lacking in Paisley Tea’s Organic Double Earl Grey.  Honestly when I first read the paisley-tea-co-organic-double-earl-grey-detail-178-paisley-doubleeg-verticalshotpackages I doubted I’d notice a difference, but I was happily proven wrong.  Paisley Teas made by Two Leaves Tea Co. create a bolder cup for serious tea drinkers.

The Organic Ginger Green tea is my other favorite variety.  Unlike some blends, this one actually tastes like ginger and green tea.  There is nothing subtle about the flavors here, and that’s what I like.  I’d imagine this would make a delicious ice tea as well!

Paisley Tea Co. also offers Decaf and regular English Breakfast to warm  your spirits.  Feel good about what’s in your mug – all of their organic teas are grown by independent farmers and are certified Fair Trade!

Two Leaves’ Paisley Teas (just $5.95 for a box of 24 bags!), and other products are widely available  at Wholepaisley-tea-co-organic-ginger-green-detail-179-paisley-gingergreen-verticalshot foods and many other other brick and mortar stores as well as from their fantastic website which offers knowledge, tea, and chicly designed “teaware” to enjoy it from.  Join their newsletter and receive a 10% discount online!

WIN!

Two Leaves Tea Company has generously offered TWO Takes a Village Readers TWO boxes of their choosing!  To win, simply enter below!

DIY (or die trying) Christmas

by Stephanie Posted on December 21, 2012

Being a stay at home mom has had its advantages.  I’ve been privileged enough to be there to see my boy hit every milestone and spend every night cuddled up to him (yes, we co-sleep).  That’s not to say that there aren’t any disadvantages.  We’ve had to tweak a few things around here so that I can continue to enjoy my special moments.  For example, we are now having to live on just my husbands salary alone and we’ve had to make quite a few cuts in our budget.  Gone are the days when we’d eat out a few times a week or pick up a few unnecessary items just because they were cute.  I’ve had to get creative with our budget to still be able to afford a few little luxuries.

 

Take Christmas gifts for example, I know that I could easily explain to my family (all 100 of them, ok, I’m exaggerating, but I do come from a very large Mexican family) that gifts christmas_sack_of_giftsfor all of them just aren’t  going to happen this year.  To be honest, I should have cut many of them off years ago.  I have quite a few nephews and nieces that are in their 30′s and would understand if I skipped their gifts.  After all, isn’t Christmas more about the kids anyway?  So this year I’ve decided to still buy the kids presents and make gifts for many of the adults.  I’ve made plenty of things in the past; my poor family members have had to tolerate all my crafty phases.  I still remember a few funny glances I got from my nephews when they opened up the scarves I knitted them a few years ago. Let’s just say, heavy scarves aren’t a necessity for southern Californians (in my defense, I was living in NYC at the time). I myself have always preferred to get handmade gifts. There is nothing more special then someone taking the time to pour their heart and talent into a present for someone they care about.  I cherish every handmade item I’ve ever been given.

So I’m taking to the internet to find some great DIY ideas.  I’m thinking, baked goods, condiments, marinades and maybe some very easy crafts (I do have a 6 month old after all!).  I’m ready to pour my heart into some gifts for those I love.

A few months ago, I got a huge bunch of kale in my organic vegetable delivery and I was
curious to find a new way to cook it. I did a google search for “kale recipes” and up popped cookieandkate.com.  Cookieandkate.com is an amazing food blog that shares the fun and funny adventures of Kate (a twenty something vegetarian) and Cookie (her sweet dog) all the while sprinkling in some fantastic recipes.  This food blog has probably been my favorite this year for healthy recipes.  Not only is the photography beautiful but every recipe on this site is vegetarian and made with 100% whole grains so it’s easy to overindulge and not feel too guilty.  I get a kick out of reading Kate’s posts and since finding the site I’ve experimented with about  6-7 of her recipes. Her recipes are pretty easy to make and I love that you don’t have to drive all around town going to specialty stores to find the ingredients.  I already had everything I needed already in my pantry.   The recipes are fantastic! I have yet to be disappointed.  Some were so good I’ve actually made them twice, so it’s only natural that Kate’s blog would be the first place I look to for inspiration.  She did not fail me.
Kate has a direct link to all of her recipes and wouldn’t you know it – the baked goods section is right on top!  Smart move Kate!!  With recipes like, Pumpkin Pecan Polvorones (Mexican Wedding Cookies),  Heavenly Lemon Blueberry Scones and even Dark Chocolate Zucchini Brownies, what’s not to love?  Kate has gotten me inspired to get started on some yummy and healthy goodies.  Thanks Kate!!

I’m sure there are few crafty folks and awesome foodies out there that are dying to share some great ideas for DIY Christmas gifts. C’mon, I know you wanna!  Please feel free to share those ideas, or even photo’s in our comment section, I’m dying to hear what you got!

Double Giveaway! Creative Gifting: Laurence King Publishing Ltd. Gift Guide

by Julie Posted on December 11, 2012

If you’ve read any of my posts then you’re familiar with my obsession with giving children gifts that promote creativity and learning.  Books are an obvious choice, I know.  But these aren’t just any old books.  Laurence King Ltd., a British publisher distributed in the U.S. by the  beloved Chronicle Books brings us some modern, interactive titles and more to fuel your child’s imagination, rocket-style!

Here are my picks for the kids in your life:

1. Magic and Fairy-tale Dice -  These give new meaning to the term “conversation starter”.  Simply roll the beautifully crafted wooden dice and include your resulting image in a story.  At $14.95 these are great for the classroom or home and fun for all ages – I quite enjoy them myself!  The whimsical images include an array of creatively classic storytelling components, including a frog, witch, phoenix, shamrock, and you-know-who’s little red cape.   The most magical thing about these magic dice is the way they get the gears in motion, my girls are so excited to add on to the story and love the challenge of including the random element determined by their rolls!

2. & 3. Let’s Make Some Great Placemat Art and Let’s Make Some Great Fingerprint Art by award winning illustrator Marion Deuchars are interactive workbooks designed in such a way that the child is practically collaborating with the author on some pages and being guided by her on others.  In the tradition of her Let’s Make Some Great Art (a personal favorite), these activity books provoke your child’s imagination.  Great springboards in the placemat book include inventing one’s own pasta shape and imagining what some illustrated people and birds might be dreaming about, at only $12.95 and 72 pages, this book is both affordable and will provide hours of inspiration.  Also, inspirational, the fingerprint book is exactly what you’d imagine, and then some!  Be sure to wrap a stamp pad or two with this one, as your recipient will use her own fingertips and hands to create a plethora of creatures and critters.  At $14.95 for a whopping 128 pages this is a winner for elementary kids and up!

4. My Wonderful World of Shoes by Nina Chakrabarti rides on the heels (pun fully intended) of My Wonderful World of Fashion and My Even More Wonderful World of Fashion, which I gave to my daughter last year and she still enjoys.  Inspire your future designer with styles from vintage to couture to color, embellish, and make their own!  $15.95 is a small price to pay for 144 pages of high fashion and more!  For an adorable sample of Chakrabarti’s adorably detailed footwear, check out this cute little video!

Giveaway! Give the Gift of Knowledge: Carson Dellosa Holiday Guide

by Julie Posted on December 5, 2012

Of course we all want to give the children in our lives gifts that they will learn from during the holidays and always.  The trick is finding ones that will do more than collect dust.  I’ve written before about my love of Carson-Dellosa Publishing products.   They are a teacher-founded company, providing fun learning materials for both home and school for more than thirty-five years.

This season I’m loving so many of their products, it was hard to narrow it down – here are my top three picks:

1. In the Ocean Pop-Up Book – My four year old loves lifting the flaps and finding the answers to puzzles and memory games involving vocabulary, comprehension, alphabet and counting practice. Memory games have been a long-time favorite at my house, and this version eliminates all of the lost cards (maybe they escape with the single socks from the laundry?).   At approximately 13 x 11 inches, this book is big fun for little one!  Priced at $14.99, with 12 full-color pages and over 125 fun flaps, your child will be amused and learning for hours!

2. I love a good bargain, especially when it helps my almost-five-year-old practice her reading skills with gusto!  The $2.99 Homework Helpers Alphabet Workbook is suitable for kids aged 4-7, whether for extra practice of the basics for an older child, or for early learning, these great cards are engaging, fun, and help your child from A-Z and then some.

3. The Reading Safari Board Game makes me happy on so many levels.  We’ve established my love for educational toys.  This one improves sight word recognition; builds vocabulary; increases fluency; introduces grammar basics; and engages social skills.  Aimed at kids 5 and older, four players attempt to collect the most cards to return their animal game piece to its home environment – yes they’ve incorporated nature as well!  I love it!  In order to find one’s way home, words must be read, plus nouns, adjectives, and verbs are identified.  No one leaves this game without the prize of knowledge!  Valued at $21.99, but on sale for just $8.80 this game  is a great gift idea for the little learner in your life, or one could be yours compliments of Carson Dellosa…

WIN

Carson Dellosa is kindly giving one Takes a Village reader their own Reading Safari Board Game just in time for the holidays!  Find lots of easy way to enter below:

Giveaway! Face Time: Organic Skin Care Products by Annmarie Gianni!

by Julie Posted on November 24, 2012

Like many of us, Annmarie Gianni was disgusted by the ingredients she realized were in her skin care regimen.  Like many of us wished we had, Annmarie did something about it.  She started her own line of organic and natural products.

Personally, I have to be very picky about what goes on my face.  My skin is quite sensitive and if I use the wrong product it resorts to that of a hormonal teenager.  So, the first thing that I like about Annemarie’s products is that they are simple.  My general rule is the fewer ingredients the better.  That goes for meals and cosmetics.

My favorite product I’ve tried from her line is, hands down, the Ayurvedic Facial Scrub.    It is a mixture of herbs and clay that can be added to the Aloe-Herb cleanser several times a week, leaving your skin incredibly soft and vibrant.  I love the DIY aspect of this scrub; you add a teaspoon or so to the cleanser then mix it with a bit of water.  It’s nice being able to control the amount of exfoliant you’re comfortable with and what’s right for your particular skin.  The rest of the week the Aloe-Herb cleanser does the trick on its own and smells subtly like morning dew.

The product line includes an array of different herbal concoctions for face and body and for every skin type.   With wild-crafted, organic ingredients such as coconut oil, neroli hydrosol (from orange blossoms), and even Dead Sea mud there is surly something for even the most temperamental skin!  Not sure what would suit your skin best?  Annmarie offers product sample kits that typically last a week for just $10 a pop – including free shipping!   Her wonderful website includes pointers for all skin types, including a detailed brochure for getting started with your samples.

Annmarie Gianni products are available at several brick and mortar locations worldwide and also from her website.  All products except for samples are 20% off through November 30th!  Know some one special who would love this in their stocking? Check out the holiday gift sets while you’re there!

For the person on the go, she also offers travel kits, starting at $24.95 with an awesome variety of conveniently sized products that can ride in your carry-on and keep you fresh on your journey. I love these options, as I like to try them all, but I don’t want to commit to a full sized product until I see results!

WIN!

Annmarie Gianni is generously awarding a Normal Skin Care Travel Set to a lucky Takes a Village Reader!  It includes  Aloe-Herb Facial Cleanser, Ayurvedic Facial Scrub,  Neroli Toning Mist, and Herbal Facial Oil for Normal and Combination Skin and is valued at $34.95!

DIY Spotlight and Giveaway! Capes by Daisha – Help Your Kid’s Imagination Soar!

by Daisha Posted on June 25, 2012

My name is Daisha and I am Designs By Daish.  For years I have been crafting little treasures for my two crazy boys and for my friends and their kids.  Last year, my Mother-In-Law (who has been mastering the craft of crochet, sewing and many other forms of artistry for over 40 years now) and I decided to do some craft fairs and boutiques.  We had so much fun that we decided to take things to the next level by opening our Etsy shop to get the word out about our handmade products.

My Mother-In-Law has raised 4 children and has 9 grandchildren.  I am a stay-at-home mom to my two boys, 6 and 3.  My husband and I just celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary and life is just moving right along!  We are unique in that we adopted our first son and enjoy an extremely open adoption with his birth parents (yes…both of them!!) and then after 8 years of infertility, we were surprised and very excited to find ourselves pregnant with boy #2 shortly after boy #1 turned two (we couldn’t have planned that better!!).

I enjoy my role as a wife and mother but crafting gives me something that nothing can…the ability to create and be artistic and expressive.  I hope the winner of this custom cape has a child who will enjoy it as much as my two little super heroes enjoy theirs.

Win One!

As for the giveaway…the winner will get to pick EVERY little detail!!  These capes are REVERSIBLE which is wonderful because one side can be adorned with your child’s name and the other side can be their favorite superhero, phrase (BAM!  Ka-Pow!!  Zap!!), etc.  Or for those princesses out there, their cape can be adorned with a crown, flowers or anything you can think of!  You can have each side be a different fabric color…for example, a princess cape could have a pink base on one side and a purple base on the other.  Heroes could have their favorite color on the side with their name and the color that best suits their favorite superhero on the other.  Sky is the limit…so don’t be afraid to get creative!!  These capes are attached at the neck with velcro, which allows for even a toddler to easily put them on and take them off themselves.  Capes are one size fits all from approximately 2 years old all the way up to 8 or 9 years old…which is when most kids don’t want to be superhero’s or princesses anymore. The decals on the capes are handmade, iron on and then stitched into place securely with a sewing machine.  They will stand the test of time…no decals falling on the floor here!

We offer many, many products in our Etsy shop.  Come check us out!  It is a perfect place for baby shower gifts, birthday gifts and much, much more!
