Guest Post: #Kivelli Baby #Giveaway from Cluttered Genius

My friend Lydia from Cluttered Genius is giving away some adorable Kivelli Baby jewelry. I don’t know any little girl who would turn down this adorable jewelry. Be sure to enter for the little princess in your life. It sure would look lovely on Ravebaby! Just as an aside, I met the lovely Lydia through Mamavation. Just another reason for the mamas out there to join the Sistahood :) - Wheatless Mama

Who doesn't love jewelry? I know that I love it, and Miss Sassy Pants always wants to wear my rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Imagine how excited I was when I found out about Kivelli Baby (find Kivelli Baby on Facebook too: http://facebook.com/kivelli)

Kivelli Baby makes bracelets for infants through 8 years old. Miss Sassy Pants has just turned 8, so when she received her bracelet, she was ecstatic to find that it fit so nicely.



What I love about the bracelet is that it would definitely fit an infant and could grow as the baby grows. The chain has enough links to expand as your little one grows. And, Miss Sassy Pants still has plenty of room to enjoy her bracelet for a long time.

I asked Miss Sassy Pants to model for me. Here is a picture of the bracelet she received a little bit closer:



You can win one, too!

One lucky winner will receive their choice of a Kivelli Baby bracelet. FOUR second place winners will receive $15 gift certificates to Kivelli Baby's shop.

#Mamavation Monday: Lent, water, bridge to 10k and the cheat

So I'm Catholic and this coming Wednesday is Ash Wednesday which means Lent! 46 days of praying, fasting and alms giving or I my case: running, drinking water and cheating on both.

Okay so as part of Mamavation, I am doing the Water challenge. I get a cup of coffee in the morning and then nothing but water for the rest of the day. Now I gave up soda right before Christmas and I don't miss it at all but I love me some sweet tea and giving it up will be difficult! Also I am a member of a coffeehouse crew, basically a group that hangs at the local coffeehouse. What am I going to drink?

So here comes the cheat. Last year I took on c25k for Lent and stuck with it right to a 5k in May. So this time I am going for the Bridge to 10k. It's 6 weeks so just about the same time as lent ends. If I do all three of my runs for the week I earn one latte. This will help keep me running and give myself a reward too. This should be fun!

This post is sponsored by Touch Within Coaching and Mamavation – a community dedicated to obesity prevention and weight loss for women and I’m writing this to be entered into a giveaway
