menchies cumming ga

fairy tales hair care for children

Fairy Tales Hair Care for Children – This is a topic that no one really wants to talk about, but the truth is it’s there.  Fairy Tales Hair Care are the creators and leaders in lice removal & prevention since 1999.   With the start of school just around the corner, it’s a great time to begin using haircare that actually prevents lice!  It’s recommended by doctors, nurses, and most of all parents – including myself!  With a rising Kindergartener for the first time, I’m tempted to buy a case and pass it around to everyone in my son’s class!  We’re really excited that Fairy Tales will be providing trial sizes of their popular product for this event!

KiddoTags – Need to do some labeling before school starts?  KiddoTags offers custom name labels that stick to your Kiddo’s toys, bottles, cups, pacifiers and more – even clothing!  With over 50 character icons, 10 different colors, 18 different fonts and 8 shapes and styles/types to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect label for everyone in your house.  KiddoTags are printed in the USA and operated by a stay-at-home mom … who happens to live in Cumming, GA!  We’re so excited that KiddoTags will be supplying gifts in the “swag bags” for this event!

Mia’s Pizza & Eats – Using fresh and local ingredients, Mia’s Pizza & Eats is always cooking up something good for your family!  The first week of school can be hard and long on everybody.  But what better way to celebrate that week being over than treating the kids (and Moms too) to some delicious, freshly made pizza & eats!  Our friends at Mia’s are stuffing your bags with some certificates to do just that!

sweet & sassy in cumming ga

Sweet & Sassy – Located in the Avenue Forsyth, Sweet & Sassy is the cutting-edge children’s salon that every little girl and young lady want to go to!  Not only do they cut and style, but they offer a trend-setting retail store and are a great place for the perfect birthday celebration!  Be sure to check for your Sweet & Sassy “Bucks” to be included in each swag bag for this event.  Book your back-to-school haircut with Sweet & Sassy and you’ll save some “real” bucks!

Ava Anderson Non-Toxic – Did you know that there are toxins and unsafe chemicals in the cosmetics and skin care products that we use every day?  Ava Anderson Non-Toxic can infom you of these dangers and at the same time offer you a safe solution. They carry a full line of products and we’re very excited that each bag will contain a great, non-toxic product perfect for sending the kids off to school!  Stop the germs & stop the toxins!

pilates in cumming ga

Studio Lotus – Moms, this one’s just for you!  Now open at the Avenue Forsyth, Studio Lotus offers Pilates, Kettlebells and Redcord, along with group mat classes too.  Once the kids get back in school, take advantage of the great offer they’re stuffing our bags with and take some time for yourself!

Adventure Kids – Play, Learn & Party!  Adventure Kids is an indoor land of fun for all kids.  Located off Bethelview Road they offer an indoor playground complete with sand pit and inflatables.  And for Mom & Dad?  A lounge serving snacks, drinks and coffee along with free WiFi.  Give the kids a little break after their first week and let them enjoy a little adventure!

So, how do you snag a bag of swag?

Step 2: Tell your friends & neighbors!  They’ll be mad if you keep them in the dark:)

Sponsor Giveaway: Studio Lotus

Update:  This giveaway is now closed. The winner, “Wendy”, was selected via Random.org and has been notified via email.  Don’t forget to give Studio Lotus a try by checking out their Weekend Mat Classes at a great price!

Last week I had the opportunity to stretch myself.  In more ways than one – literally!  Kim, the owner of Studio Lotus at The Avenue, invited me to her studio to participate in a Private Pilates Aparatus Session.

While, I was very excited at the opportunity I must admit I was incredibly nervous going into my session.  I have a confession to make – I can’t touch my toes.  Some days I can barely touch my knees!  So the thought of a pilates session definitely had me scared.  I even apologized in advance to both Kim and my Instructor!  Both assured me that pilates was for anyone.  If I had any problems, exercises would be catered to address those.  So, while nervous, I was definitely eager to try it out.

Studio Lotus

Aside from walking into a beautiful studio, my instructor Adrienne, made me feel completely comfortable from the beginning.  She listened to my concerns, explained the exercises and equipment very well, and most importantly made me feel successful!  Me – someone attempting pilates that can’t even touch her toes!

Half way through the session I told her how much I was enjoying it!  Adrienne kept me moving through a variety of exercises and apparatuses so while I felt a good workout, the hour session went by very quickly.  I went back later in the week to try a Mat Pilates class and enjoyed that as well. They offer a variety of services and sessions.

And now one of you have the chance to try a Complimentary Apparatus Session as well!
