back to school giveaway for the moms, moms-to-be, and those just looking to give a gift to a child

A friend of mine has an adorable business called Monograms and More and she sells the cutest gifts and monogrammed outfits to babies and kids.

To celebrate the back to school season and the upcoming arrivals of Lyndsey’s baby Addison, Emily’s baby Cate, and another former blogger’s baby boy, we’re doing a giveaway!

The winner will receive a choice of a baby gift or a back to school shirt with a maximum value of $28. So go shop around on Monograms and More. If you don’t have a kiddo in your life, be thinking about your next baby shower or birthday party of your best friend’s child that you will be attending.

Here are some of my favorite items:

applique-patch-onesie-girl

boys-trio-burp-cloths-retouched

jackson-pirate-closeup

mod-melon-shirt

To enter, leave a comment on this post telling me which item you’d want most.

For a second entry, we’re going to have a little bit of fun. If you have a blog, do a post with either your favorite baby photo or your favorite school yearbook photo. Be sure to let me know in my comments that you’re posting your photos.

ETA: Deadline to enter is August 20 at noon. The winner will be announced on August 21.

For some laughs, I’ve done both. Here’s a picture of me at 3 months old– just a couple of weeks older than Hudson is right now– and my 3rd grade picture. I’m pretty sure I was considered “not cute at all” once I hit 4th grade and those teeth came in.

yes, my ears were huge. they still are, but fortunately my head has gotten bigger and my hair is longer.

So get moving! I’d love to see your old pictures!

    My sister is having her first baby in a few weeks and I am hosting a shower for her this weekend. Would love to give her the ‘a’ onesie pictured above as she plans to name her baby Anna. Fun giveaway!

    I can see the resemblance between Hudson and you at that age, he looks just like you, although I think he might have his father’s ears.

    You are so sweet Erin! Thanks for the shout out!! 🙂

    LOVE the pictures of you!! I can’t believe how old Hudson is already!! Your gf’s store is SO CUTE!!!

    The Initial T-Shirt with Flare Pant is my favorite. I also need to buy two baby gifts – I’d select the Baby Burp and Onesie Gift Set. My favorite baby clothing item is a long-sleeved onesie!

  5. says

    Too funny… I just opened the website, and the first Item I see is a onesie with the name “Jack” on it. That is my new baby’s name! =)
    I would love to win the baby burp cloth and onesie set. =) The Monkey burp cloth is so cute!
    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I would totally pick up a onsie for my best friend that just had a daughter, they are adorable!

    I scheduled a back to school photo for my Friday post!

    so fun!

  7. says

    How would I pick just one??? I will definitely be visiting her shop! For the giveaway, I would choose a monogram shirt for my big girl, Jaden. Baby will be getting tons of attention soon so something special for big sis would be my pick. I’ll try to get a little pic of me on my blog tonight!!

  8. says

    So cute!

    My best friend is having a baby in December and I’m throwing her a shower in October. That little onesie would be a perfect gift for her….

    …or if I wanted to be very selfish, I just went public with the fact that I’m expecting one of my own in March. Again, that little onesie would be just my style:)

  9. says

    Oh I love that onsie with the A! And that’s perfect for me 🙂 Love love it! And love me some monogrammed onsies 🙂

    What a precious giveaway and you are too sweet to give us a shoutout 🙂 YAY! XOXO

    My cousin just had her first girl…after having 3 boys! I would love to get her a cute onesie!! Love all of your friend’s stuff! Too cute!

    Definitely the hooded towels! Benjamin is 3 months old and loves tubby time. I can’t even begin to tell you how many hooded towels we go through in a week. And it’s such a bonus to have them monogrammed. My family and friends give me a hard time about monogramming his clothes/boppy covers/everything 🙂 They tell me I’m not being practical in case I have another boy! Oh well…he looks adorable and I’m happy! Happy blogging.

    Erin ~ What a great idea! I have a 3-year old son who is really into spelling his name and pointing it out wherever he sees it (i.e. in books, on puzzels, his backpack, etc.). He would love nothing more than a shirt with his very own name on it! The little boy’s shirt with the sailboat is absolutely adorable! I know my 3-year old son would love to wear it (and his mom would love for him to wear it, too)! Thank you for offering this give-a-way to your readers! ~ Ali
    P.S.: This is my first post on your blog and you help me start my day each morning in my office. I turn-on my computer and head directly to your site to read an update. Thank you for letting us all share in your journey!

    I would love a personalized onesie for my new son, due in 4 weeks. It would be nice to give him something new and just for him because most everything else will be hand-me-downs from his 3 older brothers.

  14. says

    This whole shop is just darling!! My best friend has twins, and I think I’d have to order two of the initial t’s or the holiday shirts for the boys! I simply adore that Christmas dress but have no one to give it too yet! I’m definitely bookmarking this site- it’s simply adorable!

    You were the cutest 3rd grader 🙂 I wish I had pictures here to post one of me (definitely not my hideous 4th grade year thoug). Alas, they’re at my mom’s house 6 hours away! I’ll have to grab a few sometime and scan some in. It’d be a journey for sure!

    since i have won a giveaway recently, i want to enter my sister! Rachel at Footballsandcrowns. She is having problems coming to yalls websites from her work computer so count this one as her entry! : )

  16. Cathie says

    I love the mod melon initial t! I have a 7 month old and she is into anything with a pattern. She studies and pick at every piece of clothing. She also has wooden letters on her wall spelling out her name (Zoe) and she always looks up at them and laughs. These shirts are adorable! Thanks for letting us know about the site. I just recently started reading your blog and this is my first post!

  17. Lynn W. says

    I LOVE your photos.. both are so adorable! and I love the monogrammed items! My favorite though, is the diapers/burp clothes? with Colby…and in fact, I would love to win JUST that item as I have a friend that just had an sweet little baby boy with just that name!!! I love the ones with the name Colby written out..but think I like the polka dots one the best!!
    Thank you for the chance to win these cute items!

    I would love, love, love to win the girl’s initial Tee for my 4 year old, Abby. My 8 year old refuses to wear cute things like this anymore, so I have to count on Abby to let me dress her in cute monogrammed stuff!

  19. says

    Hi Erin! I want to win the Kids shirt. I would love to put my sweet Hudson’s name on a shirt with boats. He is in to all things transportation now so I think it would be perfect!

  20. heather says

    OH HOW FABULOUS!

    This gift would be perfect to share with my just recently found out she is preggers bf!!

  21. says

    It’s all so precious! I have a few new babies in my life (none of my own though) and would LOVE to give one of them a personalized present! I’m thinking new baby girl Ramsey would look especially cute in one of the onesies!

  22. says

  25. says

    super cute stuff! I am always looking for a new place to buy cute baby stuff. My BFF just had a baby and didn’t pick the name until he was born, so now I am busy catching up with all the monogrammed stuff! Super adorable!
