Promotion Day and a Giveaway!

The Coast Guard is a very big and important part of our life.  We have been a proud military family for over four years now.  My husband has worked very hard to bring our family to where we are today and I'm so proud of the work he does each and every day to serve our country! 

 His Dad, Little Sis and I recently had the privilege to attend his Promotion Ceremony to Lieutenant.  He held Little Sis in his arms like a proud Daddy while his Dad and I each got to change out a shoulder board.  

Extremely proud of our new Lieutenant!

This was a special day, so it called for a special present!  I found Wood Simply Made on Etsy  and was excited about the Challenge Coin Holders Mike offers.  He custom made this coin holder with the wings on it for my husband, and he loves it!  You can choose from any of the military branches for your holder.  

When I was looking at the shops information, I knew that I had found the perfect person to give my business to.  Mike is  a disabled veteran and served 6 years active duty Air Force from 2003 - 2009.  He proudly makes all of the products here in the USA out of his home wood shop.   (All of his products are made from real wood and do not use any cheap press board or particle board substitutes.)  Great quality and supporting a US veteran is a great choice for our family!!

I couldn't be prouder to bring you Wood Simply Made as a place to offer you military gift items.  He has graciously offered a Military Coin Holder giveaway to one lucky Happy House of 5 reader.  Please enter through the Rafflecopter widget below, I will choose one lucky winner by verifying that the entries have in fact been made.  GOOD LUCK!

GIVEAWAY:Daddy Doll

Today is an exciting day...I get to tell you about Daddy Dolls Inc!

Daddy Dolls was started by Tricia and Nikki, two Marine wives whose children were missing their deployed Daddy's.  They saw how much the dolls helped their children cope with the deployment stress and decided to make them for other families.

This is an awesome deployment tool but I think it's also great for families that have a member who travels for work, family that lives out of town, Emergency or Police Officers. 

We are a proud Coast Guard family who deals with deployments several times a year. The girls miss their Daddy very much while he's gone and the Daddy Doll is going to be there for them to snuggle with and have "Daddy" there for our everyday things like trips to the store, doctors office visits and bed time.   

All you need to do is visit their website at:

Daddy Dolls.com

Upload a head to toe picture and they will edit out the background and make a super cute and soft doll for your child to snuggle with. I was so happy to read that they are machine washable, that's a must in my book. Then pick out which fabric you would like on the back, there are lots of choices for both boys and girls.  We chose the 17 inch dolls with pink camo, aqua paisley and Amy Butler pink, because of course we had to get one for each of the girls!

 They each have a keepsake pocket sewn on the back, you can also add a voice recorder or text for under your picture for an additional cost. 

The lovely ladies at Daddy Dolls Inc have so graciously allowed me to host a giveaway for one 17 inch Daddy Doll for one of my lucky readers!!!  Enter below through the Rafflecopter:
