Naturalizer Review + {GIVEAWAY} {CLOSED}

Congrats to Katie E. who is our winner! I will be sending you an email! 

When I was contacted about doing a review of Naturalizer shoes, I honestly thought, nahh. I'll save that for someone that wears that type of shoe. Then I wised up that someone wanted to GIVE me a pair of shoes, so I better check it out. 

Umm, so glad I did. 

Naturalizer: Not yo momma's shoes anymore. 
I've had these suckers 1 week and have already worn them twice.

Their new spring collection is fantastic! I was sent the Sherrie, shown above. They are part of the N5 comfort collection. Yes, these shoes are comfortable. The N5 line adds extra cushioning, breathable lining, balance from heel to toe, flexible soles and lightweight material. Naturalizer also comes in many hard to find sizes, from small to large, narrow to wide.

Some of my other fave styles are the Panya, Kenna and Decade.

So you like them? Want to win a pair for yourself? 

Naturalizer is giving a gift card for a free pair of shoes purchased in-store or online!  

Simply fill out the Rafflecopter widget below, gaining entries for following Stilettos and Diapers blogs, and following Stilettos and Diapers and Naturalizer on Facebook and Twitter! 

I received the above pair of shoes as well as a gift card for the winner from the Brown Shoe Company through MyBlogSpark in exchange for this review. I was in no other way compensated. All opinions are mine.

Red Lobster {REVIEW}

 Last year at Blissdom, Red Lobster was one of the sponsors. They provided all the lobster bisque and lobster rolls we could eat. That meant me eating a bowl of lobster bisque EVERY.SINGLE.BREAK. I love that stuff!

I got email from the representatives that were there saying they remembered how much I liked the lobster bisque. Ummm, guess I may have had one bowl too many if I was remembered!

Since then, Red Lobster has had a bit of a makeover from what you may thing of them as. They've redesigned their look into one inspired by the New England Coast. You'll find stone towers, ship lanterns and Adirondack-style chairs are just some of the new features.
We went for dinner at our local Red Lobster to try out the new changes. I, of course, ordered Lobster Bisque. And I didn't share any. 
Inside were cozy booths and soft lighting. A very comfortable atmosphere for the delish food I came for. Give me some cheddar bay biscuits. 
 Another one of my favorites is coconut shrimp. I had that as part of their 4 course seafood feast for only $15. You get a soup, salad, entree and dessert, plus all those biscuits! It won't be available much longer, so get it while you can! 
If you are wanting to eat seafood, pack up the fan and head to Red Lobster. I have never been let down by the place and I feel like the atmosphere now matches the quality food they serve. 

Thanks, Red Lobster, for the chance to try your made over look! 

I was provided a gift card in exchange for my honest review of the restaurant. I was in no other way compensated.

PUSH! Delivery Gown {REVIEW}

You know those baby's first moment pictures that are completely magical and full of love for the new little life in the world? Once you take your eyes off the baby, you are suddenly disgusted by the shame that is: The Hospital Gown. 

The blue and white, tie in the back leaving your butt cheeks showing, gown that who knows how many other mother's wore. 

I knew when I was pregnant with Callan that I didn't want that gown in my pictures. So, I did a little research and found the amazing PUSH! Delivery Gowns.

They come in all different patterns and colors and are completely adorable.
There are snaps all the way down the back making sure you don't give any of your visitors a peep show. There are also snaps down each sleeve to make easy access for IVs and blood pressure cuffs.

Now, since baby Callan decided to sneak his birth in a couple days early, I didn't get to actually wear my gown for his birth. Total bummer. But this package was waiting on me when I got home from the hospital.

Lets not judge the 4 day post-baby puffy face, mmkay?

I was still so excited for my gown! I wore it constantly for the first several days. The last thing I wanted after a c-section was pants smashing my stomach. The cross over front made me feel cuter than wearing a regular nightgown and it makes for easy nursing. 

Ashley Isaacs is a seamstress and started PUSH! Delivery Gowns after delivering her own children in the old hospital gowns. She has also recently started Matthew's Armour, making hospital gowns for little ones headed to the hospital. Your little ones can dress up like a princess or super hero to make a hospital experience less scary. 

If you are pregnant or know someone who is, go check out PUSH! Delivery Gowns! What a perfect shower gift! Right now, there is contest going on their Facebook page. Once they reach 1000 "likes" they will give away a gown! So go like them and say I sent you! 

Thanks so much, Ashley for my beautiful gown!

I received the gown pictured above in exchange for my review of the product. I was in no other way compensated.

Odiz Baby Supply Review + {GIVEAWAY} CLOSED

Random.org chose #2...Congrats, Lindsey! 

After little man was born, I was contacted by Odiz Baby Supply to see if I wanted to try an item from their shop. I love supporting shops like this instead of always buying things at the big box stores. ODIZ is a mom run company.  The owner has three children of her own, and only stocks products that she would use with her own children, so you know the products are safe, and high quality. They have a wide variety of products to choose from, including all the basics and great gift items. 

The product I chose to review was the Summer SwaddleMe. Callan has slept in this thing every night since I got it. No lie. It is $12 worth of peaceful sleep. If you have a baby or need to buy a gift for someone, go to Odiz and buy this! 
It just squishes the baby all snug like they are in your belly! 


A awesome perk about Odiz is their Facebook monthly promotion. For the month of December, you will get a package of Paci Wipes free with any $20 purchase! Use code: CANDYCANE at checkout! 

Odiz Baby Supply is giving one reader a $10 credit to use towards anything on their site!

Christmas already?! Shutterfly {GIVEAWAY} CLOSED

Winners are #30 - Emily of The Johnson Five
#4 - Lisa of Being an American Mom

Congratulations! 

Yep. Its that time already. I find myself planning even more in advance seeing that I will have an infant hooked to me for every aspect of Christmas prep this year. I'm kinda terrified of the shopping...

Anyway, one thing that is easy, is the cards from Shutterfly. I got the cards there last year and was so happy with the way they turned out. They came in a box with envelopes and I even got matching return address labels. Sooo cute! 

This year, I have to choose a card that makes room for a family of 4 on the front! Here are some of my faves:

I can't get away from monograms.

I love this one, but it is really similar to last year's card.
 And this one may be my fave. I think the black makes it look so classy. 
Shutterfly has a huge variety of Christmas Cards, Greeting Cards and Thank You Cards to choose from. I will more than likely be visiting them once the baby is born to get birth announcements as well! 

Have you decided on cards yet for this year yet? The folks at Shutterfly are giving you a chance to win some cards of your own! 

3 lucky winners will receive a promo code for 25 cards of your choice!
