review & giveaway {sugar babies}
Posted on | July 25, 2010 | 98 Comments
so remember the adorable red polka dot bikini Harper wore to the sprayground yesterday? it was courtesy of Sugar Babies, a boutique local store for babies, mamas and toddlers. before you leave all huffy puffy because it’s local, wait! you can shop online! we’re talking clothes, accessories, baby gear, diaper bags and adorable and perfect gifts for your next baby shower. we decided since it’s (kind of, somedays) summer, we would get H a swimsuit and this cutie by Ruffle Butts is really too cute for words (hence the following photo).
besides being cute, the suit is well made and dried fast (the sun probably helped!). i love the way the top covers all the baby bits (just saying!) and didn’t slide up at all, even though she was running around and through water. it goes without saying the bottoms are the best part, because the toosh is all ruffly and cute – hence the name. the other part i loved was how stretchy both parts are – because sometimes baby suits are a pain to get on and off, especially when wet. and the whole adorable shebang is only $24.
for mamas and mamas to be, they carry all the maternity support, nursing covers and cute tees you could ever want. you can even register online for all of the cute clothes and accessories you want for your new munchkin. if you’re like me, you like to get a little something fun and squee-worthy for new babies, even if it may not be the most practical thing, because let’s face it – shopping for baby stuff is the best. i’d love to say this isn’t a necessity…but it’s hard for me to type. because seriously? look at this:
yeah.
so! if you’re in the south puget sound area, you can check out Sugar Babies for yourself in down town Sumner, and obviously if you’re not, then check them out online here. right now there is free shipping on orders over $99, and they have ergos and strollers and all that good baby gear. take a look whether you want something for your kiddo or a baby shower coming up.
Sugar Babies is offering a Ruffle Butts bikini to one lucky reader of the Haps! they have many cute patterns that you can check out here, but H wouldn’t mind at all if you wanted to be twins with her. and if you have a little dude, try not to fret, there may be another giveaway down the road with SB!
there are a few ways to enter:
- leave a comment here on what strikes your fancy over at Sugar Babies. a specific brand they carry? a piece of gear you’ve been coveting?
- “like” Sugar Babies on Facebook
- follow Sugar Babies on Twitter
you can do one, two or all three, just remember to be sure to leave a SEPARATE comment here for each so they count as entries! we will accept entries through this Thursday, July 29th at midnight PST and announce the winner Friday July 30th.
good luck!
Sugar Babies sent us a Ruffle Butts bikini at no charge in return for a review. no compensation was received for this review and the thoughts and opinions within are my own.
summertime and the living’s easy…

this weekend was summery perfection! the weather was gorgeous and it was full of friends and fun. it was the first time this year i felt like it was really, truly, most-likely-sticking-around summer. you know, just in time for back to school crap to start filling the stores.
but moving on.
saturday was a co-ed wedding shower for my lovely friends jessica and rory. i’m honored to be a bridesmaid (bridesmatron? i don’t think i can really be a maid…) and the H monster is going to be making her flower girl debut on their wedding day, august 21st. rory was my first friend in Tacoma and i met jessica a few years later and became friends, so this is pretty special to me. next weekend is the lady gaga themed bachelorette party (yes, i will share photos i’m sure), but her grandma threw a lovely shower yesterday for the almost married couple. it was awesome!
today we met up with our good friends holly and doug and their little nugget, norah. norah is exactly one year and one day older than harper and loves her. sometimes norah gets so excited to see harper that her little fists clench up like she wants to squeeze harper until her eyes pop out. we met up for breakfast and then we took the girls to a park in tacoma that has a sprayground (thanks Kristin!). basically it’s the best thing ever and we are going to be spending a lot of time there between now and september 15th when it closes. H was fearless and loves the water. she had a complete BLAST.
this evening we are relaxing with a jamba juice (mine is orange dreamcicle, because obviously) and grilling up some dinner. super awesome weekend – i hope yours were just as good! come visit tomorrow, because i will be giving away a swimsuit just like the one H is wearing in these pics. mamas to girls, you don’t want to miss it :]

proudly sporting my super mama cape since 2008. i like to craft, eat noodles, tweet like mad, and long for more time with my handsome husband. i'm simply trying to navigate through the early years and come out on the other side with a kid who doesn't repeat words i use in the car. wish me luck.
