SPECIAL Announcement........

Lets try & remember that shall we?

& now a very special announcement from a very special lady ------> 

Hi Messy Dirty Hair friends! My name is Samantha and I blog over at Hooah and Hiccups!

Kelly is sweet enough to let me say hi today and..ask for your help and votes!! A few months back, Onlineshoes.com contacted me in regards to a Blogger Styling Contest! Of course, I was ALL over it!

How it works: myself and three other bloggers each received the same pair of shoes. We were all told to style it our own way and then the public would be voting on who styled the pair of shoes the best!

So here's how I styled them! 

The Naya Shoes are absolutely adorable! Not to mention they're super comfortable and perfect for shorts and a tee, a maxi dress, or really any casual look you want to pair them with. My Bubba Bear has been giving me a run for my money recently and these shoes are comfortable enough for me to chase him around!

I also love that they are made using eco-friendly materials; cork, bamboo and chrome-free leather are among the materials used. 

So now I need your help!! These shoes are totally down my fashion alley and I hope that you love how I styled them; enough so that you'll vote for me to win!

Want to win a pair too? You can enter to win a pair on the voting page after casting your vote! (Hopefully for me ;)) 

So please, vote here! Leave me a little comment if you voted... I want to thank each and every one of you for your support and help! Love you ALL!

In case you missed it... VOTE HERE!

 

Doesn't she look fab?!?! I love that this contest has a Messy Project feel to it! 

You only have to vote once so share the lala loveeee & vote for Sam ----> CLICK TO VOTE

what did you guys do this weekend?? 

so today I have another fabulous blogger here....she is like the cutest mom ever...really though, she is so youthful with great style, you would never guess she has a little baby....& even better she makes adorable hair accessories for children as well as other fun accessories for kids. I love following her little life with her baby & hubby...they are the cutest little family...& they love disneyland...plus she's a California Girl { the best }...but there's so much more & I am beyond honored to have her as my Messy Girl of the Month -  so without further ado meet 

Hello Messy readers! My name is Pamela and I am a mommy bloggin, photography buggin, gym ratting, crochet crazy, ice cream eating, homebody girl from Los Angeles. I am a Disney nut, a family girl, and above all, a very happily married wife and one proud mommy!

I blog over at Macdonald's Playland, where we document our adventures, lessons learned, everyday life, and other random Macdonald household shenanigans! We adore each other and our family is quite the trio..life is beautiful because we have each other.

Our blog posts may include anything from figuring out an awesome way to surprise my gullible husband that I was pregnant, getting his reaction on video, posting it on YouTube & watching it go viral, making confessions as a new mommy, and the times I've gone crazy throwing parties.

Oh..and a lot of photos of our family...

 ..and ESPECIALLY lots of photos of this cute girl right here.

Some randomness for y'all: 

-If you couldn't tell, I absolutely love and adore my husband and daughter.  They are everything to me.

-I blog to document our life, and then print our blog out into books at the end of each year! That way a record of our life moments is kept for us to read in the future. One day we can look back and say, "we did that" or "we made it through that"..and we did it together. As an added bonus, any future wee-little Macdonalds can one day read up on their crazy parents/grandparents/great-grandparents/etc. etc.

-Our blog recently (finally) got its own Facebook page that you can go "like". Am I cool now? No? That's ok...go "like" it anyway! www.facebook.com/macdonaldsplayland

-I graduated with a Bachelors in the Science of Nursing and worked as a Labor & Delivery nurse before having my daughter. When Lilly came into the world, I decided to stay at home with her and have been loving the adventures of mommyhood!!


-Yes, I have delivered a baby on my own. When I worked in labor & delivery, the doctor didn't make it in time, so it was on me to deliver the patient's baby. It was one of the most amazing, rewarding moments in my life! I helped my patient push the whole time, kept her (and her ten million family members) calm, and when she decided to be a rockstar and push that baby out super fast, I delivered her baby. Mommy and baby were healthy and fine, and I managed to keep composure and not pee my pants!


-I own an online shop, Peanut Lilly Creations, where I create handmade accessories for babies, toddlers, and children (and some things in adult sizes too!). You know, stuff like this:
