TAKE A PICTURE, IT LASTS LONGER – GIVEAWAY

Oddly enough (well, oddly to me) I get quite a lot of questions about the type of camera I use. Up until last month I have been using the same Canon Xi (the most basic of the basic DSLR cameras) for over 5 years (it’s not even a model they make anymore) she wasn’t very fancy but she did us well. And then last month Staples Canada, sent me this (bit of an upgrade, and 5 years newer) Canon T3. I have been using it all of June, to take photos for Staples #30daysofsummer photo prompt on IG and Twitter (I fell behind a tad so was more of a 20 days of summer for me) – and the camera is pretty great, a fantastic SLR learner or hobby photog camera. So there’s the answer to which camera I use, want to own the same one?

To get right down to it, Staples Canada also wants to give one of you this same camera. In need of a new camera, maybe want to upgrade to an SLR or just want to just take a picture to make it last longer? Enter to win this Canon T3!

*The other thing is, before I forget – this is a giveaway open to Canadians only, sorry non Canadian friends.

SWIMMING SKILLS / GIVEAWAY

I am not the worlds greatest swimmer, not even one of the decent swimmers of the world. In my mind, swimming lessons are like the must of all lessons it just happens to be a big plus that they are also fun. There are many (MANY) things that scare the poop outta me in the world of parenting, but swimming (more specifically, not being able to swim and something scary happening in the pool) is pretty near the top. So its pretty darn important that my kids kick my butt in the swimming skills category. Each year they get a little closer to easing my worries (around swimming at least), and soon enough they will be swimming laps around me.

Sunuva sent the kids some new swim gear for this summer, since the kids grew out of their old Sunuva gear from last summer. Since it’s not quite (it’s coming though) beach weather yet, they have been wearing their rash guards as shirts to wear and from lessons. The kids swimsuits and rash guards are C/O SUNUVA all their swim is made with UV protection a UPF rating of 50+ to be exact, which means one less thing for this Mom to worry about. Also I should mention, as far as swim fit goes – the suits from Sunuva fit little bodies far better then any other swim we’ve ever owned.

SUNUVA wants to give one lucky Heart + Habit reader a $150 shop credit to buy some stylish and safe swim gear for thier little one this summer!

SOMETHING FOR DAD / GIVEAWAY

I talked a bit about Moms Day and how to me, the experiences far out weigh a physical a gift (unless it’s handmade). And that it’s also a great time to make sure to take time for yourself/herself, it’s the perfect time to start caring for yourself as much as you do those little kiddos. Now switch out Mothers and move in Fathers, and it’s still the perfect recipe for a gift. Fathers Day is just a few short weeks away, a day of fun (probably a big bacon breakfast) and making sure Dad gets time to himself, or maybe buying a gift that somehow helps him get a moment to himself is my plan for Chris.

Sol Republic sent Chris these Master Track Headphones, it was sorta an early Fathers Day gift. They are perfect for him since he commutes via the subway to work and then wears them at work – he’s able to put them on and tune out the rest of the world (he’s not allowed to wear them at home…sorta kidding). It has turned those hustle and bustle moments into a bit of quiet alone time (in the sound sense). It’s also been pretty nice to snag them and use them to turn off the world, which rarely ever happens in my day (when I’m all alone, NOT when I’m with the kids – just to be clear).

Sol Republic also wants to give one Heart + Habit reader a pair of their own Master Tracks Headphones – give them to Dad….or keep them for yourself (shhhh).

They come in gunmetal or white, your choice – enter with rafflecopter….

*giveaway is open to the US and Canada (for Canada, be aware that there may be a customs charge upon receipt of item – Sol Republic and Heart + Habit are in no way responsible for this fee). This is not a sponsored post, I just thought since we were gifted a pair that one of you should be too!

MINIMODEL GALLERY GIVEAWAY

Seriously, I forgot how much fun hopscotch is, and I never knew it was so adorable to watch (probably even more fun then the hopping). Maybe next time I should teach them to toss a rock, I just didn’t want to interrupt the hopping game to teach them the hopscotch “rules”.

Harlow’s tank and King’s tee are both from Minimodel Gallery.

Minimodel Gallery is a brand new children’s online boutique, straight out of Canada. They carry something for every little one; with brands like Bobo Choses, NUNUNU, Mini Rodini, Noch Mini, Cacharel and more. Minimodel Gallery is Canadian, which means faster shipping and no chance of that “surprise” duty charge for fellow Canadians. But they also ship internationally and take great care when doing so, so don’t fret!

Some of our favorite items from Minimodel Gallery: No! NUNUNU tee, Bobo bow tank (Harlow is wearing), Bobo dot shorts, NUNUNU Penguin tee, Manifesto Bobo tee (King is wearing), NUNUNU Star dress.

To help celebrate their opening, Minimodel Gallery wants to give one Heart + Habit reader a $150 shop credit, so you can snatch the cutest spring outfit for your little one!

THE LULA by THEIT

A while back, (spring of 2012 more specially) Jen, Melissa and I collaborated with THEIT – the maker of stylish camera bags. We each designed our version of the perfect camera bag, we even set up a voting page and then asked you vote on your favorite designs. After the votes were counted and the winner was hailed, THEIT set out to produce the bag of our dreams (and some of yours). After a few bumps in the road, I am super excited to say we have finally made it to the finish line. The winning bag, which we have coined THE LULA because it was designed by the super talented JEN from JENLOVESKEV (so darn excited that her beautiful bag was chosen) is available for pre order, today!

The Limited Edition Lula (that’s right limited time only!) comes in two colors: Coral and Chestnut. And is packed with the same sturdy awesomeness as THEIT’s popular The Bossi bag.
