**Some of the products I purchased others I was interested in and reached out to
review/get discounts for my readers. all of the opinions are my own.**


BLISSDOM Conference Must.. Business Cards!
I have worked with Tiny Prints before and always love the quality.
Was so happy with how these turned out. I had A LOT of info I wanted to put on them, So I went with the folded card. I have all my social media info on there.. a photo of me
(my social media photo to make it easier for people.
I also put photos of my kids..since they are the real stars of the blog..
and then a couple shots of popular posts.

pressing them to make sure they lay flat. Love them.

UPDATE:  I originally posted about the stroller I was taking. (Harmony Odyssey and we got it at Target.) But after only having it a few weeks I realized it was not a good stroller. at all.
Bummed that the steering turned horrible and made weird clicking noises.
SO! I ended up getting a different stroller
(after taking all of them down from the shelf at target and trying them out)
The FASTACTION FOLD CLASSIC CONNECT BY GRACO.
So far.. I am liking it. really easy to fold up and carry.
Steering is WAY better.
I love the pattern!


SOOO Excited about this! Branding is important...
So I knew I wanted to customize my laptop and iPad.
I used SKINIT and I love the quality of my iPad Case and Laptop Skin.
You can upload your own design..or create one online.
(You can always just do one large photo)
I plan on using my iPad during the Conference.
Easy to handle/carry around and great battery life.
and have my laptop in my room for night.

 I recently took a trip with Micah to Atlanta.
I used my K'Tan on this trip and it was a lifesaver!
I use the moby at home sometimes...
but I wouldn't have liked to use it at the airport.. too much!
But the K'Tan was easy to pop on and off throughout the day. He fell asleep in it.
Was great to keep my hands free while traveling with baby!
Grab up one of your own for 15% OFF with the coupon code: BUSYBK15
**Expires April 30, 2013**
I have also heard great things about the Ergo. Wanted to try using a wrap while Micah is still "small" though. ;) I think as far as a wrap I like the K'Tan overall.
it was nice and snuggy for Micah and easiest to use.


 I've shared my makeup bag before...
CLICK HERE for all the details/links/reasons why I love them.
Faves: my urban decay cream to powder foundation
and the mac under eye concealer.

Here's some of the basics that go in my Toiletry Bag.
I use these every day. I get all but the aquage at my target or grocery store.
(that one I get at my hair salon.)


Caroline G. !!!! LOVE her shop.
Definitely including these two beauties in my bag.
I will plan an outfit around them. ;)

Also love my Mini Bubble Necklace.

 I am in love with my Mophie Juice Pack Helium for iPhone5.
And I know it'll come in handy to keep my phone charged all weekend long!
Blissdom is a social media frenzy... So I can't have my phone powering down on me!
I will be Instagraming, Tweeting and Facebook Posting all the fun...
Can't wait to share the trip with you!

Thanks for checking out what I'm packing.
Still figuring out the wardobe.

I thought you said you bought an ergo? Was this post sponsored by ktan? Usually bloggers leave a disclaimer about sponsored posts. I thought u said you ordered the ergo off amazon?

Natalie Catherine of TheBusyBudgetingMama.com March 7, 2013 at 8:30 AM  

Dear Anonymous,
If you left your name/e-mail I could contact you easier! But I actually returned my ergo..wanted to try the K'Tan first. I was wanting a wrap type carrier while He was little enough. Thanks for stopping by! (ps I added in a disclaimer.. just so everyone knows the opinions are my own. in case they didn't)

Mandy@ a sorta fairytale March 7, 2013 at 10:37 AM

Amber Dorsey March 7, 2013 at 1:58 PM  

This has me getting more excited!
I need to get cracking on my own packing!
procrastinating I guess. Not fully ready to commit to all my ideas!
I LOVE the idea of the branded iPad!! going to check that out now!

Also 4 months post-partum, also all over the place closet-wise.

I don't think I'm bringing my laptop but I'm going to checkout the iPad covers!

Thanks for sharing!

I agree with you about the wrap whilst they are little. They are so much snugglier (I think I made that word up) and cuddlier in wraps when they are so small!

Have fun at Blissdom, I'm in the UK so it's a bit far for me to travel ;)

Just found your blog & I love it!!! I'm your newest follower :) I'm expecting my first in 2 weeks and bought both the Ktan (for indoor wear) and Ergo. I'm excited to try them on once she's here and so happy to read your reviews on them.

Laura@Cowboy Boots March 8, 2013 at 3:06 PM  

i borrowed my neighbors k'tan after cole...fell in love...then she gave birth too and i had to give it back...(her first girl after 5 boys)

I need to pack my day bag to come and visit w/all y'all!

Mama Tully March 26, 2013 at 7:46 AM  

HI there! Question for you about your k'tan....do you use the sash in addition to the two loops? or is that optional? Or just for when the baby is bigger? I'm expecting #3 in a few weeks and just picked up a K'tan after seeing how much you use yours. I have a Moby from baby #2, but never used it much because it was way too much work to wrap it on every time.
I'll check back here for your reply or feel free to reply in the comments on my blog www.thetullyfamilyblog.blogspot.com
Thanks a bunch!
