Jane Austen for Babies (Giveaway)

**** Giveaway closed ****

Jane Austen has always been one of my favorite authors. I don't remember when I first picked up one of her novels, but by high school Pride and Prejudice was cemented as one of my most-beloved books. I've watched the P&P mini series at least 20 times and used part of the sound track to the 2006 version as my wedding march. The moment I found out Tessa was a girl, I knew I wanted to share my love of Jane Austen with her. (I wanted to name her Elizabeth or Elinor or Jane, but for some reason Ben didn't quite agree.)

My mom threw a book shower for Tessa, and one of the gifts was Baby Lit Books' Pride and Prejudice. I had no idea there were Jane Austen board books, and I was delighted! Since then we've also collected Sense & Sensibility and Emma, along with a few other classics. As a lover of classic literature, these have been perfect for my kids. They combine my love for old books with fun, colorful illustrations that Eli and Tessa really enjoy.

Tessa's current favorite is Emma which might be my favorite too. It combines feelings with colors for a really fun book. Tessa imitates the "sad" page and it's pretty adorable.

Of course, I'm already thinking about which ones to order next! My mom just bought Tessa Alice in Wonderland on Saturday. I think for Christmas I might get her Little Women (comes out Sept 6!) or The Secret Garden. And they aren't just for girls! Eli loves our copy of Moby Dick and I think Jungle Book might be next for him.

And now for the best part, a giveaway! I'll be giving away one copy of your choice: Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, or Emma. Comment below with your favorite Baby Lit Book plus which of the three options you'd like to win.  Follow me on Instagram or share this post on Facebook for up to 2 additional entries (add an additional comment per entry). Giveaway ends August 25 at midnight MST. Open to US residents only. May the best reader win!

Little Baby Bumblebee Onesie Stickers

Happy Monday, friends! I hope this week finds you well and enjoying fall! The weather here is turning cooler and the trees are changing. I have bread baking in the oven and a cinnamon caramel candle lit. I absolutely love this time of year.

I have an exciting post for you all today! Last week I went to visit my best friend and her new baby, Carter, hence my silence on the blog. While I was there I took one month pictures of Carter, and then Ben and I took Eli's six month pictures over the weekend.

You've seen the fabulous stickers my friend, Joy, gave me that we use each month.

Well, I ordered some adorable ones for Carter as well! (Carter didn't have a white onesie, which was a major bummer, be we made it work!) Carter's stickers feature different colored balloons for each month.

While Dee from Little Baby Bumblebee and I were communicating about ordering Carter's stickers, she was gracious enough to agree to do a giveaway for you all! That's right- another giveaway! How awesome is that? :-) She offers stickers for baby's first year, plus maternity and milestones. She is so creative- offering over 600 items in her Etsy shop. I have been so happy with my onesie stickers, and have started ordering some for all my friends who have new babies.

Details on the giveaway? The winner will receive a gift certificate for $11.50 toward anything at Little Baby Bumblebee. That's enough to cover one set of stickers plus shipping! The giveaway opens today and ends Wednesday, October 10. Please head over to Little Baby Bumblebee and find your favorite stickers, then come back and leave a comment!
