Welcome to this week's Tuesday Tag-Along blog hop, hosted by Twee Poppets Review and Giveaway! This is a great way to discover new blogs while increasing the number of followers for your own blog. Please feel free to grab the TTA button for your blogroll to help bring more bloggers to this blog hop!



Tuesday Tag-Along button art adapted from the "Follow the Leader" illustration by Diana Jones. I encourage you to visit her at her blog, Sketch & Jones, and her online shop to see more great illustrations and all sorts of wonderful crafts!


Without further ado...
Here's how it works:
  • Create a new Tuesday Tag-Along blog post. Include the Tuesday Tag-Along button by copying and pasting the code above. (You are also welcome to copy and paste these instructions in their entirety, or any portion of this Tuesday Tag-Along blog post!)
  • Add your blog name and the URL of your TTA post to the MckLinky below.
  • Follow Twee Poppets, the hostess blog listed in the first slot. Twee Poppets will follow you back! (Note: If you want Twee Poppets to follow you back, you MUST leave her a comment saying that you are a new follower and leave a link to your blog!)
  • Follow the Blog Hopper of the Week, listed in the second slot. To learn how to be chosen as the Blog Hopper of the Week, read the red text below.
  • If you can, please follow the blogs in the three slots before you (e.g., if you're number 20, follow numbers 19, 18, and 17). This is not mandatory, but it will help ensure that everyone who signs up gets a few new followers!
  • Follow as many other blogs as you want. The more you follow, the more that will follow you back! Be sure to tell them that you're following from Tuesday Tag-Along! You may also want to leave a link to your blog so they can return your follow more easily.
  • When you get a new follower through Tuesday Tag-Along, be sure to follow them back! It's just common courtesy. :)
The weekly Tuesday Tag-Along MckLinky opens every Monday night at 8:59pm Pacific Standard Time (that's 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time), and the TTA blog post will be posted well in advance of that time. The MckLinky will be open to add your blog until 11:59pm Tuesday night. You then have all week long to visit blogs and return follows!

There is a new list every week. The link you enter one week will not carry over to the next week's MckLinky. Please link up again each week to join in the fun!


Tuesday Tag-Along Blog Hopper of the Week:
Note: To be eligible to be Blog Hopper of the Week, you MUST place the Tuesday Tag-Along button somewhere on the main page of your blog or website (Inside a blog post does NOT count; it must be on the actual page, e.g. in the sidebar. And since I'll be checking for it manually, I must be able to actually find it). If the randomly-drawn winner does not meet this condition, a new winner will be randomly selected. If you do not want to place the TTA button on your site, you are still more than welcome to join in the blog hop, you will just not be eligible to be the Blog Hopper of the Week.

Each week, one blog will be chosen randomly from all the links, and that lucky blog will be placed in the desirable second slot for the following week's MckLinky!

This week's lucky blog hopper is #15 - H2O at Home with Kerri! Congratulations!

Precious Moments Baby Boutique Review and Giveaway

I learned several years ago (7 to be exact) when I had my oldest daughter just how much work babies truly can be.  Being my first, I didn't know what to expect and had a hard time figuring things out.  I had read all of the books about how to take care of my little daughter when she arrived as well as internet articles, magazines and also getting tips from family members and friends, but nothing could prepare me for when she was actually here.  My goodness and all of the things that she needed!  From bottles to baby clothes, to tons of blankets and pacifiers, we had stuff everywhere.  At that time, we had a big house so we could hold everything, but the way things trickled from room to room was something to be desired.  I remember bringing the oldest home from the hospital: it was a beautiful fall day (she was born on the first official day of the fall season) and I wanted to sit outside with her for a little while.  Hubby brought a rocking chair outside for us and we sat out there for quite a while just enjoying the weather and me just getting used to being mommy.  It is really fun shopping for baby though and I had so much fun going yard sailing for discount items and clothes.  Hard to believe just how much stuff that there is out there nowadays to get for newborns and children.  The tiny little onesies and outfits, different kinds and styles of blankets from the plush to the ultra plush and receiving blankets and those cute little booties.  It was fun shopping the first time for the oldest, but shopping for little one was even better seeing all of the newer products that had come out.  My girls are 6 years apart, yes I waited for a little while in between, heck hubby and I waited seven years before we had the oldest.  I had always planned on never having children and where the oldest was a complete surprise, so was the little one.  There is something so special about shopping for the babes and I was excited to get the opportunity to check out a great new site where you can find some truly beautiful and hard to find things for your little bundles of joy.

Precious Moments Baby Boutique is a great online shop where you can find some beautiful must haves for sure!  For more than thirty years Precious Moments has been sharing the gift of love by celebrating life's special moments.  The Precious Moments Baby Boutique offers a wonderful selection of apparel, baby blankets, picture frames, musical water globes and so many more great things to mark that very special delivery and new addition to your family.  They also have a beautiful selection of figurines and gifts for other special occasions as well such as birthdays, Christmas, Anniversaries, Graduation, Sympathy and so much more!  You will be amazed and delighted by what you will find at this special boutique!


I received an absolutely adorable Precious Moments Luxury Plush Blanket for review and was so delighted to get this for my little one.  She has a blanket that used to be white that she has had since she was about a year old and loves to drag it around with her wherever she goes.  Even though I have washed it so many times, it still has taken quite a beating to say the least.  This beautiful blanket from the Precious Moments Baby Boutique is super soft, high quality including stitching and of course a lovely picture of the Precious Moments kids on it.  I also love the brilliant pastel colors, they are very eye catching and gorgeous.  I also love that it is machine washable, which is something I will obviously have to do a least once a week the way little one loves to carry her blanket around with her.  When I received the blanket and took it out of the package, little one was very quick to grab it and has had it with her wherever she goes ever since.  Needless to say, I have replaced her old blanket with it and she loves to hop up in a chair with her daddy or I and snuggle every night and of course cover up with it at night too.  I love this blanket and would love to get a bigger size version of it for myself, it is that soft, plush and comfortable.  Little one is definitely in love with her new Precious Moments Luxury Plush Blanket and her older sister is jealous and sometimes tries to steal it, but little one will have none of that!  This blanket also coordinates with the with the Precious Moments Crib Bedding Collection so your little ones can have a brand new and very gorgeous crib to sleep and dream in!

Say hello to the lucky chosen 3 for this week (and feel free to stop by and give them a little extra love):

If you're looking for great crafts, recipes, child-rearing tips and fun ideas to try with your kids, Holly at The New Hampshire Nanny has them all.
