Mother’s Day Swagilicious $1,100 Giveaway!

We could not think of a better way to honor Y-O-U, our Smarty momshell readers, than to roll out a huge swagilicious Mother’s Day Giveaway, AGAIN! This is our second annual Mother’s Day Giveaway that we just love to deliver. Let’s face it, as moms we have the toughest job on Earth. It’s a day-in, day-out marathon of giggles, vomit, skinned knees, runny noses, melt-your-heart smiles, dirt, poopy diapers, no means no, report cards, doctor visits, first words and tears (though some days I’m not sure if they are mine or my kids). This is a small thank you & the break that you rarely get for the demanding role you happily play each and every day. And it’s a giveaway just for you gal, so take a deep breath and feast your eyes on the dreamy collection below. Only the Smartiest of mom-centric sponsors would do… and holy pink & green do we have some unbelievable stuff to give to one lucky Smarty!

And they are giving our lucky Smarty a $100 gift card to spend however you’d like. This mommy-centric store offers one stop shopping for stylish clothing, bedding for all ages, baby goodies and gifts for every woman on your list.
