I am making it a point to attend more conferences and network with other bloggers this year. One of the conferences I am excited about is the Type-A Parent New York City Bootcamp which is going to focus on brand-blogger relations. Not only is NYC super convenient for me, the focus of the bootcamp is perfect!

Type-A Parent conferences are packed with powerful networking with the best and brightest parent bloggers along with major brands and firms who want to engage with them.

This post is sponsored by Moxie Jean and may contain affiliate links, as always, my words and views are 100% my own.
Babies and kids grow so fast, they hardly have time to wear most of their expensive and adorable outfits more than a few times. Many times brand new outfits are outgrown before they are even worn. I know most people buy gifts for a new baby in small sizes, so parents have so many outfits and such a short amount of time before they are outgrown. No matter how hard I tried there were always brand new outfits never worn and a baby that no longer fit in that size. Now there is a solution for all of this and more!
Moxie Jean is an online “upscale resale” store started by 2 moms, Sharon Schneider and Sandra Pinter, who are also sisters. Moxie Jean only sells new or “like new” clothing. You will find phenomenal name brands and styles at a fraction of what they cost new. Everything comes with their 100% satisfaction guarantee. Sizes for kids range from newborn to size 14. You can get an additional 20% off your order when you sign up for their inventory alerts with your email. The site is so easy to navigate, you choose girl or boy and size and then you can choose from several filters to narrow down their expansive selection. Every Monday and Thursday they get new inventory and you can shop new markdowns and clearance too for even greater savings. I was very impressed and have ordered 2 times from them so far and believe me will again many times over.
They have clothing, shoes and accessories and have recently added maternity clothing to their inventory. Check them out, but hurry if you like something, at these prices things go fast! Don’t hesitate if you see something you love for your child or yourself.
When your child has outgrown his or her clothing you can request a Moxie Jean Mailer Bag and send them back as well as add any other gently used or new clothing and they will be put on the site for sale. When they sell you will receive a percentage of the purchase price. Unsold clothing is donated to charity. Shopping at Moxie Jean is a way to save time, money and the planet without sacrificing style. Moxie Jean is resale reimagined.
I hope you will check them out and let me know what you think. Would love to hear about your great finds too so just drop a note in the comments. Happy shopping!

Just go to rewards.bing.com to get started. To learn more click on the video below.
I tried Bing Rewards out myself the other day and thought it was great I could earn credit for the searches I have to do every single day! Why shouldn’t I be rewarded? Why shouldn’t you? You could be sipping on a Mocha Frappacino courtesy of searching for information you needed for a paper, article or a million other reasons. How about seeing a movie with your family, eating out or a new pair of shoes because you were doing what you normally do anyway? That would be nice, to be rewarded for the stuff we have to do. Well, now you can. So what are you waiting for. Head over to rewards.Bing.com and get what you deserve!

However if you want to start that after you get your new shoes, it’s okay. Let me know if you try it and what you think.
Do you ever wonder if you are truly prepared for an emergency? I mean, we all try to be but life gets in the way. We have some things in place but are lacking in other areas of preparedness. We have an escape ladder for our second and third story windows in case fire prevented us from exiting the home through the stairways. However, if you asked me right now where it is, I would tell you where it should be but since that area of our home is under construction…yeah. I think you understand what I mean. We do have big things in place but I suppose we need to go over things and find out where we are lacking.
Recently, I found out about a site that does just that for you. MBIntel is a site you can go to and begin a free home risk analysis. It only takes about 15 minutes to answer the questions about home safety and security as well as emergency preparedness. When you are finished you will be given the results and shown the areas that need improvement if applicable. I went to their website today and answered the questions to get my home risk analysis. Overall I did well, but there are some issues we need to address to really be in top-notch shape. I plan to go over this with my husband and get the things we need in place to ensure our home is as safe as can be. You can upgrade to a paid version that gives you more detailed reporting of any issues so that you can see clearly what you need to do to fix them. I upgraded to a paid version and was able to print out a full report so that I could share that with my husband and we can make the changes we need to. If you are looking to see how secure, safe and ready you are for a disaster, check out MBIntel and get your free home analysis. If you do please let me know your results and what you thought in the comments.
The image below is a sample of how the overall results are shown.

It’s a momentous milestone when your child graduates from college. My daughter (my oldest) graduated from college as a double major, so she earned 2 Bachelor degrees. That was a proud time, but she didn’t stop there. She continued her education and we are getting ready to celebrate another graduation. Graduating with honors and a 4.0 GPA she will receive her Masters in Public Administration.
What’s more impressive, is she started a 6 week internship with an agency (will not give the name to protect her privacy) soon after starting school. They were so impressed with her work in those few weeks, they never let her go. She will be hired full-time in an executive position after graduation! She has been working for them full-time and going to school at an accelerated pace. It makes me really proud that she could do all that and maintain her honors status. She is also going to be receiving some very impressive awards from the university in her field of study which is really exciting.
When you think about the work and sacrifice that is put into earning a college, masters, or higher degree, you want to make sure that you honor the graduate and also their achievement. As we draw closer to graduation season, graduation gifts are a topic of interest. If you have a child or relative graduating this spring, Church Hill Classics has gorgeous Official School frames that are unlike anything I have seen before.
I am so excited, about a week ago I ordered one for my daughter’s diploma from their website. Her university was one of the official schools they have frames for. I was able to choose from a selection of frames and then I could customize with mat color, frame color, frame style and more. I chose the Presidential Gold Engraved Diploma Frame and customized with the black suede mat, solid hardwood, rich mahogany frame and upgraded the glass to the conservation UV plus reflection control.
A couple of days ago a huge box was delivered. I had to check it out and I was very impressed. It was packaged very securely and arrived in perfect condition. The pictures don’t do it justice because the flash and the upgraded glass don’t want to be friends, but it is gorgeous! I cannot wait for her to see it with her diploma! I will definitely update with that!
Church Hill Classics frames are made proudly in the USA. The video below will show you how they create these magnificent diploma frames. You will be amazed at the quality of craftsmanship and expert care that is taken to ensure every customer receives a museum quality frame to protect and showcase their hard-earned diploma. #EarnItFrameIt
Church Hill Classics has graciously offered to sponsor a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings! They will be offering one lucky blog reader a code to order a diploma frame ($200 value)! Thank you Church Hill Classics for the beautiful review frame and for sponsoring this graduation giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!! Open to US residents.
