Mona MeLisa Designs Review & Giveaway

Rally 4 Jillie has put me in contact with some amazing companies with huge hearts to help a little girl battling leukemia. One of these sponsors, Mona MeLisa generously stepped up as they too have family members battling cancer. My heart and prayers go out to their family members as well as Jillie and all others battling cancer. If we can all band together, just one small act can make such a difference.

About Mona MeLisa
Mona MeLisa was started in 2009 after Melissa and Lisa met by chance via a virtual baby shower. Both had already owned their own child related businesses and they quickly became fast internet friends and began working together. They first started on customized children's growth charts and canvas wall art which quickly led them to this unique idea to bring their custom children's artwork to the world.

Mona MeLisa Review
Mona MeLisa has many different items that are all so unique and fun! I had the opportunity to review the peel and play race car set! My boys LOVE anything cars, especially Little Brother so I knew these would be a hit. I wasn't sure exactly how they would hold up to my rough and tumble boys though.

Peel & Play Sets are:
• 24"x40"
• original designs digitally hand drawn
• printed on high quality fabric adhesive material
• can be stuck and unstuck over and over again
• will not damage walls, paint or wallpaper
• will not rip or tear
• color will not run, fade or peel
• remain sticky for up to 6 years
• no PVC

When I pulled these out of the box Little Brother immediately yelled CARS!!! So off we went to find a good spot in his room for sticking. They are made from a wonderful fabric material. I was really worried about Little Brother ripping them. But he was able to peel them from the paper himself and stick them on the wall. He was having the best time! I was also very worried about them getting stuck together and wadded up and not coming apart...nope, they easily pulled apart and became flat again. So cool!

There are so many accessories and the combinations are endless for play. Big Brother wanted a car in his room too so this set was perfect! Plenty of pieces for both boys to share. The design quality and colors are amazing too. So vibrant and fun!

We put these up before bed one night and the first thing Little Brother asked for and started playing with the next morning was these stickers. They are meant to be stuck and unstuck and I have to say that in the short period of time we have had them, they have been moved and restuck many times already. They have also been dropped on the floor, stuck to beds and other items and yet they remain super sticky and like new! (Did you see they are suppose to remain sticky for up to 6 YEARS!?!)  I see countless hours of play and fun with this set. My favorite part? They are not another toy on the floor and they do not damage what they are stuck to!

This cars set came with road pieces as you see in the pictures, so they are also very fun for driving small  toy cars on as well. I am honestly so pleased with this product. It is sturdy to rough boy play, cute clean and nice to look at, good for decoration and play and unique!

They have many other PEEL and PLAY sets. This special little pet boutique set was sent to Jillie. And I also really love the farm animals set too. They also have a Christmas Tree set and a Gingerbread house set! How amazingly fun would those be for the holidays?! The Peel and Play sets cost $80.

Sissy Little Vinyl Wall Art Review

Little Brother has a new room update thanks to Sissy Little! I know it doesn't sound like anything you would be wanting to use on a little boys room, but trust me, this is for any room in your house!

So what exactly is Sissy Little? An online store with all sorts of fabulous removable vinyl wall art, decals and stickers! With over 30 different categories to choose from, I guarantee you will find something to spruce up any wall in your house!

Sissy Little Review
When I found out I had the opportunity to work with Sissy Little and review one of their decals, I immediately went to the transportation category. Why? Well for one I have two little boys, and two I never get anything for myself. When given the option between stuff for myself or for my boys, my boys always win hands downs. That's just what makes me happy I guess.

So anyway the transportation category is loaded with fire trucks, trains, boats and airplanes! Little Brother loves cars and I spot the most perfect decal, the Traffic Monogram Set. And oh my gosh does Little Brother's room have a wall that is perfect for this! And I love that although this is fun and cute and goes with cars, it is not too babyish. It can grow with his room as he grows. Perfect!

When I receive the decal I can't wait to get it up! Installation is really easy. It probably took me two hours. And that is because I was doing this by myself and wanted it to be perfect, as well as needing a ladder to get the traffic signal up. And making sure everything was straight and level took me a few tries. I have to say this decal had the most pieces of any I've done before.

First you want to make sure your wall is clean. Make sure no dust or grease is lingering which might effect the vinyl to not adhere properly.  Then cut apart any of your decal pieces, as all colors that are the same are printed on one big sheet. Making them smaller will make your job much easier.

Then you want to position and tape your decal to the wall. You should still have your base paper and transfer tape together. Slowly peel away the base paper, and sometimes you will need to help the decal along to the transfer tape. Especially art or letter with really thin lines. Once the base paper is off your decal should only be on the transfer tape and still taped to your wall.

Slowly lower your vinyl decal down and use the special squeegee too that is provided to adhere the design to the wall. Keep squeegeeing the design until all the air bubbles have been removed.

Then slowly peel off the transfer tape from your design in a downward motion. Sometimes you will need to squeegee certain parts a bit more to make it adhere to the wall and not pull up on the tape.

Now if you only had one design element you would be done! Yay! However the Traffic Monogram set has 15 different pieces! Don't worry it's not as scary as it sounds and it is so worth it!

Just check out the finished product! Isn't it so cute! Little Brother is still in his crib, so I made sure I measured and calculated for his big boy bed and that the decals would all be showing and looking good as he grows! It's going to be perfect! (the room is small so it's hard to get a good picture)

Little Brother's other side of the room

The only thing I wish this decal set had was longer sign posts. I wouldn't have had to be so precise with the post and worry if the bed or toy box would cover up the fact they didn't go all the way to the baseboard.

If you have yet to try out vinyl wall art or it intimidates you in any way, you must try it. The worst that can happen is you don't like it and guess what? You can peel it right off! Yes! Vinyl wall art is only as permanent as you wish it to be! So if Little Brother all of a sudden becomes afraid of cars and road signs, no worries, no painting. Just peel them off and choose a new theme or nothing at all!

For smaller decals you can even put them on picture frames, wooden boards, chalkboards, bikes...it's endless! Make great holiday signs or gifts!

The Traffic Monogram Set was an affordable $69.99. However if you want to become a Sissy! (love that) You can like their Facebook Page and get 30% off your next order! Plus they also offer Free Shipping in the US!

Here are a few of my favorites! These would make really fun gift ideas as well!

I loved everything about Sissy Little! Their service, their quality, and selection! Jump on the vinyl decal band wagon and show your unique personality! Be bold, be daring, be you!
