Win It Wednesday (8/29/12)


Around here everyone is getting ready to head back to school right after the Labor Day weekend. So far for Win It Wednesday we have giving away a lot of items geared towards younger kids but todays Win It Wednesday is perfect for older kids heading back to school or even for mom, because let's face it, Mom's do a lot of the prep work for back to school!

These light orange chrysanthemum hair pins are one of my absolute favorites. Plus I think the color resembles orange creamsicle. While I havent had an orange creamsicle in a while, it's still one of the top summer treats for many people!

Win It Wednesday (8/22/12)


My little one is on a HUGE Tangled kick lately. She has asked it watch the movie every single day during our afternoon "rest" time. It's hard to say no because it's definitely a great movie and has something for everyone. While my daughters favorite character is Rapunzel (obviously), I absolutely love Maximus. He is such a stubborn little horse but has such a sweet loving side to him as well.

Because of our newest obsession I decided to give away a Rapunzel ribbon sculpture for this weeks Win It Wednesday, what better way to celebrate the move of a character than by spreading the love with others.

Win It Wednesday (8/15/2012)


Minnie Mouse is a HUGE favorite in our house. My little one loves all her Minnie Mouse bows and clippies even though she hardly ever watches Minnie on TV. She even has a stuffed Minnie that she sleeps with every night. When I showed her the newest Minnie Mouse clippie set, she was over the moon and quickly wanted to add it to her collection.

I'm giving away this adorable Minnie Mouse set to another little Minnie Mouse fan out there. Whether your little one is starting kindergarten this year and wants to show it off at school or she is staying at home with mom, she'll look adorable no matter what.

Keeping Up With Dragonfly Bowtique

The one consistent thing about Facebook is their ongoing changes that seem to pop up over night and leave us confused. I've had many fans contact me to tell me they can no longer see our Facebook posts on their newsfeed. The reason for this is because Facebook wants us to pay to promote our posts to our fans which seems silly since it's the those fans who "liked" our page in the first place toto stay up to date with our posts. Right now only 10% of our fans are able to see our posts at a given time which leaves many of you wondering where we have been.




Below is a quick tutorial to make sure you are up to date on all of the latest Dragonfly Bowtique information (and freebies!).

Step 1: Visit our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/DragonflyBowtique and make sure you like your our page.



Step 2: "Hover" with your mouse over the box that says "Liked" to bring up a drop down menu. Make sure "Show in News Feed" is checked, if not, go ahead and click it.



Step 3: On the same drop down menu as above you will see the option create a new list (+ New List). This is a great way to not only stay up to date with Dragonfly Bowtique but also to stay up to date on other Facebook pages that you might have liked. You'll notice on my picture that I have several lists above the option to add a new one (Sports, Photography, Clean Eating, Etc.), this allows me to save all the pages that have to do with that particular category so I can view all their updates at once.

You can choose to make your lists public, only viewable by your friends or private so only you can view them. I personally keep mine private but you are free to do whatever. You'll also need to name your list. You can name it after the page if you are specifically saving that page only or you can make up a larger category to add us too.



You'll notice for this exercise I went ahead and named it after the page to keep only our page in this particular list. When you are done typing a name and selecting who can view the list, click done.

Step 4: Back on your newsfeed you'll notice the list you created on the left hand side. It wont look exactly like the picture below since I am the owner of the page but you should be able to locate it fairly easily.

You'll want to hover the mouse on to of the page link and then click on the little pencil icon to edit the settings. After doing this you will see the option to "Add to Favorites". Click that and the list will automatically be added above right under your friends.



The next time you want to see what Dragonfly Bowtique is up to, you'll be able to click on the list and view all of our posts.

My little ones have enjoyed watching the Olympics so far. Diving and gymnastics are a huge hit with both of them though I am equally cheering on the men's basketball and soccer teams. We watched the opening ceremony together as a family and have been able to catch most of the sports on tv.
