When hosting parties, food is usually the star of the show. It is very important that the host choose enough recipes for the number of guests attending and that they complement each other. This Party Planning Checklist ebook was created to not only help entertainers choose enough of the right recipes, but to also help keep everything organized so that shopping and preparation is stress-free.
I'm a BIG party planner. (Didn't you see Brooklynn's Candyland Party?!) It's kinda my thing, I love it! But yes, it is ALOT of work, so I love anything that makes it easier!
The ebook includes a chart to list the entire menu for your event. The checklists would also be great for planning a weekend event such as a family reunion.
There is also a grocery list, however I think that the "Ingredients" section for each recipe should be larger. I'm not good at writing small. ;)
There is even a "Table Arrangement, Beverage Coolers, Garbage & Recycle Bin" chart for placement. Great idea!
Want your own Party Planning Checklist ebook? Just go HERE to download your own free copy after providing your email address or 'liking' Theme Party Queen's Facebook fan page.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Kat and Company Review & Giveaway CLOSED
A baby can never have too many teethers, right?
Kat and Company sent me a Maple Wood Ring Teether to review!
The maple wood ring is sealed and protected with food grade beeswax & attached to a knotted piece of organic tree print fabric. The knotted fabric is filled with 1 inch natural wooden beads.
I just could not stop snapping pictures of my boy with his teether! He was so happy!
This teether is different than any other teether I had seen before. When I saw it I just knew Weston had to have one!
I also love that the fabric is organic & the tree print matches the 'natural' toy very well.
Wood is an excellent natural teether, soft enough to absorb the impact, yet strong enough to give our babies' gums the relief they need!
I love this toy for on the go, it is quiet but still keeps little man entertained!
BUY: Visit Kat and Company on Etsy! They don't just have teethers, make sure to check out the "Play & Chomp Teething Ring" & the "Wooden Dish Play Set", just 2 of my favorite things!

BabyBond Review & Giveaway CLOSED
Preverbal skills, eye contact, and attention are vital to cognitive and language development & breastfeeding is the perfect opportunity to interact and communicate with your baby.
I don't really know what to call this accessory because it doesn't "cover" like the ordinary nursing cover, it only covers your breast and belly. The BabyBond™ is worn like a sash across your body, the concept is so simplistic yet so genius. Many babies hate to have their heads covered while nursing, they might even pull an ordinary cover or blanket down. Using the cape-like cover is also alot of hassle, bringing unneccesary attention to the fact that you are nursing your baby & it can be so hard to try to peek in to see baby & adjust them without flashing everyone around you.
If you don't feel comfortable with bearing all in public but don't want to cover up your baby's face then the BabyBond™ is for you.
BabyBond™ carries 3 styles of nursing accessories. Here's the info on each of them :)
BabyBond Original™ is worn like a sash, functioning like a nursing top. Nurse from the top of your shirt. Separate the layers of fabric to achieve latch on. Double panel keeps breast covered above & below. Belly & back remain covered with your own shirt. Built-in 9 x 12″ double layer terry velour burp cloth. Stores in matching pouch.
BabyBond Flex™ is worn like a sash, functioning like a nursing top. Nurse from the top of your shirt. Separate the layers of fabric to achieve latch on. Double panel keeps breast covered above & below. Belly & back remain covered with your own shirt. Removable 9 x 12″ double layer terry velour burp cloth. Able to attach any cloth or wear without cloth attached. Stores in matching pouch.
BabyBond Couture™ is adjustable creating a custom fit as your body changes after baby arrives. A hybrid between nursing top and belly band, it can be worn to nurse from the top or the bottom of your shirt so it works with your entire wardrobe. When worn like a sash, it functions like a nursing top. When worn like a belt, it functions like a belly band. Rolls up into self-storing pouch.
All 3 of the designs come in black, Expresso, or Charcoal. They are 100% Cotton, machine washable (On cold, with like colors), dryer safe (On low heat), and made in the USA.
BabyBond™ sent me the 'Flex™' to review.
Each of the designs comes in 4 sizes, here is the BabyBond™ sizing chart:
Now, since Weston was born, I have been wearing mostly size Medium shirts. I am about 5' 3" tall, 135lbs (Shhhh!), & since I am breastfeeding I am a C cup. So, to be on the safe side I ordered a size 2. However, I think I should have went with the size 1. I think it would have been a better fit. You can see in the picture below that little man likes to tug at the sash, making it gap. I think that I would have better coverage with a size 1.
BabyBond Flex™ is worn like a sash, functioning like a nursing top. Nurse from the top of your shirt. Separate the layers of fabric to achieve latch on. Double panel keeps breast covered above & below. Your belly & back remain covered with your own shirt.
BabyBond™ nursing accessories don't cover baby, just mom. Mom is able to maintain her modesty. Baby remains uncovered benefiting from the infinite opportunity to make eye contact, interact, and communicate.
I love the matching pouch that comes with every BabyBond™ nursing accessory!
The BabyBond Flex™ also comes with a removable 9 x 12″ double layer terry velour burp cloth. Of course, you can wear it without the cloth attached or use any other burp cloth (Because you know that one will not stay clean for long!)
BUY: Visit BabyBond™'s Website. Make sure to use discount code 'crunchy' for 25% off your order!

LoveMode Review & Giveaway CLOSED
LoveMode started in 2004 with Kiki's Fashions. Kiki's Fashions was born out of the need for cute and trendy maternity clothes at affordable prices. While most maternity clothes out in the market are boxy, boring and expensive, Kiki's found success by having a wide selection of unique maternity styles.
As Kiki's grew, their customers began asking about juniors clothing. They loved Kiki's maternity clothing, but wished they could continue shopping with the company after their pregnancy. So they listened and LoveMode was born.
LoveMode follows the same no nonsense model as Kiki's: cute and trendy clothing, affordable prices, quick shipping and excellent customer service.
They are always adding new things to their website & have sales all the time! Plus, they always have free shipping in the US, I love it!
LoveMode sent me this adorable 'Blue Hope Dove' shirt to review!
And here I am wearing it :) I have really been into tops like this recently. I love the big necklines, and I sometimes wear this shirt off the shoulder. They make it so easy to nurse Weston!
This shirt is great quality! I absolutely love it & will be wearing it a ton this fall!
BUY: Visit LoveMode's Website! Right now all clearance items are Buy 1 Get 1 FREE & get 25% off all tops & dresses, plus LoveMode always has free shipping in the US!
