Today, the blog tour is being hosted by Jerri Ann over at Mom-E-Centric!  Jerri Ann is mom to 2 boys aged 5 and 3!  She’s a wife, mom, daughter and a business owner.  What type of business you might ask…a daycare.  That’s right - she has first hand experience as a daycare provider - which makes her an expert in 100 different things that I can’t list here!

Take a look at her blog post about PARENTise.  Then, come on back and leave a comment here with a link to her blog post.  Do that and visit Esculon and leave a comment with what piece of jewelry you love the most (yes, I know it’s hard to pick!) and you’ll be entered to win this pair of earrings from Esculon!  Don’t worry - you’re welcome!!

You can win an extra entry if you become a fan of PARENTise on Facebook (1 entry) or begin following us on Twitter (1 entry). You can win 2 extra entries if you leave a rating here on PARENTise! Just make sure you add a comment with the link to your rating!  The winner will be picked by random number generator at the end of the blog tour, so you have 10 days to enter to win!

Wow, four days have passed really quickly!  It’s Blog Tour Day Number 4!

Today, we’re featuring blogger Alyson from The 3 P’s in a Pod!  Alyson’s 3 girls all have names that start with P - hence the name of her blog.  Alyson blogs about her family, life with three girls, international adoption, product reviews and more!  Alyson also blogs at 3 P’s Mama Says where she does product review, giveaways and more!  Right now - she’s doing an awesome holiday giveaway - so check her out here!

Today’s giveaway is a really good one!  You have an opportunity to win an Ellie Bellie Kids Mocha/Gold tutu or a mini-Messenger bag!

If you haven’t been to Ellie Bellie Kids, you should go and quick.  Jennifer at Ellie Bellie makes THE most beautiful tutu’s, capes and messenger bags for kids.  Do you read Cookie Magazine?  Did you read the September 2007 issue?  If you did, you saw an Ellie Bellie Kid’s cape and tutu on Veronica Webb’s girls!  Too cute!  Trust me - this is my go-to gift for kids.  Talk to my friends and family - their kids probably have an Ellie Bellie Kids cape or tutu (maybe both!)!

Not only does Ellie Bellie Kids have fantastic capes, tutus, and messenger bags, Jennifer also edits Classic Play - a quarterly e-magazine with AMAZING photography and awesome ideas for activities to do with your children!

Welcome to the second day of the PARENTise Blog Tour!

Today, the PARENTise blog is the host of the giveaway, so you don’t have to go any further than right here!!

Today our giveaway is a $25 gift certificate to Pottery Barn Kids!  So in that vein, I thought I’d talk about decorating your child’s room.

If you’re anything like us (or should I say me) decorating your child’s room can become something of a passion.  I spent hours choosing the design for our first daughter’s room.  When I finally decided what I wanted to do for design, I spent even more time choosing the colors.  I should clarify here though that we didn’t know whether we were having a boy or a girl, so a lot of the decision making had to do with “is this too boy?” or “is this too girl?”.

We were lucky enough to get a crib at auction, and we love it.  If you’re looking for a furniture for your child’s room - I highly reccomend Natart Juvenile furniture.  It’s really well made with beautiful finishing!  Anyway - we found a book case and had stain matched to go with it and finally decided on a Natart dresser.

The harder parts were finding the accessories for the room.  That’s where Etsy comes in to play!  If you haven’t been to Etsy yet, you better go soon!  Etsy is full of creative people who create handmade items.  There area  ton of “shops” that design for kids rooms and you can find some adorable things!

So what did you do in your childs room?  Where do you go for accessories for your rooms?  Do you have any suggestions for moving from a toddler room to a “big girl” room?

To win today’s giveaway - simply leave a comment on this blog post telling everyone where you shop for your children’s rooms.  You can win an extra entry if you become a fan of PARENTise on Facebook (1 entry) or begin following us on Twitter (1 entry). You can win 2 extra entries if you leave a rating here on PARENTise! Just make sure you add a comment with the link to your rating!  The winner will be picked by random number generator at the end of the blog tour, so you have 13 days to enter to win!
