happy shots + a really BIG giveaway

No. 1: Maddie is a pretty active baby. She never sits still long enough for me to get a decent photo, let alone one with her grinning from ear to ear. Usually I end up getting the back of her head, or her eyes half open, or the photo is blurry. But this time, I clicked at just the right moment.

No. 2: This one of Audrey is blurry, but I still love it. Her grin is so contagious.

In other happy news, I get to giveaway an amazing prize to one lucky paislee press reader – a $150 gift certificate to redeem at any CSN Store! CSN has everything from home decor to a huge bedroom vanity selection and children’s furniture.
The $150 is a one time use certificate and can be used at any CSN store. One of my favorites is allmodern.com. You can find all types of hip and modern home + baby/kids goodness there:

organic bib+burp set

organic hooded towel

nursery lamp

removeable chalkboard wall decals

tricycle in classic red

Graham and Brown Wallpaper

giveaway: $150 CSN gift certificate
