There are sprinklers and ring toss games and sidewalk chalk stored in a basket near the back porch but who needs outside toys when you can open a pretty umbrella and pretend that you are Mary Poppins? Or stack all of your baby blocks and then ever so carefully toss them through the railing one by one?
I place a lot of orders with DaySpring.com for our home but also for gifts because I think they have one of the best collections of faith-themed home decor products around. Non-cheesy faith-themed products that is 
So this month I teamed up with them for a few exclusive reader discounts + a giveaway. Click CONTINUE READING to get the coupon codes + enter to win a $50 gift card to DaySpring!
I totally admit to ordering the good things umbrella shown above solely because I thought it would be cute in photoshoots. And it probably is, except my niece Nixie didn’t want to pose with it so much as twirl it around yelling “Keeka, look at me! I’m a circus zebra!” I don’t even know what that means. I was all “Mary Poppins, Nixie. You know, a spoonful of sugar?” and she was like “polka dot polka dot circus zebra!” The good news is that I didn’t actually own an umbrella so turns out, it was a totally useful purchase even if that wasn’t my original intention.
Scarlette loves these blessings blocks which we own on the advice of her therapist who thinks she needs some work on her fine motor skills. This observation came about while watching Scarlette douse every surface of our house with sweet potato puree. The girl can’t use a spoon, y’all. Apparently blocks help with that. I was fairly skeptical of this because we have those baby lego blocks and she has zero interest in them even though I try to entice her by building elaborate castles and forts. For the baby, y’all. For the baby.
Bad parent confession: I totally ordered the blessing blocks because they are cute colors with bible story illustrations on them and they spell out words like “Hope, Joy, Love” etc. I figured that she wouldn’t ever play with them and then I could use them as decoration in her nursery but still be all “I totally got her some blocks” to her therapist. Except she loves them. They are constantly scattered around my house. Also, she can point to the letter “B” on them and then say “B. Buh” which proves that my kid is a TOTAL GENIUS.
I also keep a bunch of these blank note cards around because I am working with a local support group and often writing out notes of encouragement for preemie parents in our NICU. They have a lot of cards that I think are beautiful and sentimental without being preachy.
But my favorite things are my everything beautiful jewelry tree and redeemed jewelry – remember when I posted about these grace earrings? They are my go-to summer staple. I wear them pretty much every day along with my crown bobby pins. Because I like to pretend that I’m Princess Kate. I love the jewelry tree because it keeps all my necklaces untangled + I like the subtle reminder of that bible verse when I’m getting ready. I used to have it written on my mirror in dry erase marker so my husband also prefers it on the jewelry tree. He was all “I can’t see to shave” or something.
On the left is the jewelry tree and on the right is what mine currently looks like, complete with my new favorite earrings.
Since this one is my all-time favorite, DaySpring offered to give my readers a 30% discount on the jewelry tree with code tree30 for a limited time (there is no limit so that you can order them as gifts aka Christmas In July)
You can also get 25% off anything in the entire store with the code JOY2012.
AND they have free shipping on orders over $50 so right now is a great time to shop with them! I am trying to decide between the antique gold necklace and the crown necklace to match my earrings.
So there is a peek at some of my favorite things. To enter to win a $50 DaySpring gift card so that you can pick out some of your favorite things, just leave me a comment (you can tell me which necklace I should get because I’m so indecisive) or you can share a tweet or just click the little LIKE button for extra entries. I’m using rafflecopter to host this giveaway because it’s easy AND fair so be sure to click the little “I DID THIS” button next to your entry.

About Kayla Aimee
I love DaySpring cards and card folder.
Both necklaces are lovely, so I’m no help.
One is more sweet and one is more elegant. One is gold-toned and one is silver-toned. I think I would try to decide if you have a “gap” in your jewelry collection of either the “theme” or the color.
LOVE DaySpring and that jewelry tree is beautiful! Thanks for the chance!
Love, love, love the Dayspring cards! I also love to write
I love the antique gold necklace, so beautiful!
Love this! Thank you!
Love Dayspring – I totally ordered the birdcage wall hanging that you mentioned last time.
Wow – I really LOVE that jewelry tree! I’ve been looking for something like that, and haven’t found anything that CUTE anywhere!!!
Isn’t it great? I have one that only holds earrings and my necklaces were always getting tangled when I tried to drape them on it!
Love those blessing blocks!
Beautiful stuff!
My granddaughter, Kylie, loves playing blocks with her grandpa when she visits us. I may have to get those to add to the collection at my house. I think I like the crown necklace better. Good luck on making a decision.
Beautiful pieces! I totally get you on blocks all over my house (or just kid toys in general!)
I might just order myself that tree. For me, not a gift.
My jewelry is ALL OVER THE PLACE and that is not where it should be.
I just LOVE the umbrella! We have a fetish for umbrellas…they seem to never get used in actual rain, though! With kids, entertainment is key!
BTW, I LOVE how Scarlette is always missing a shoe! So adorable! You’re so much better than me because my kids refuse to wear shoes…getting one to stay on would be a major accomplishment around here! =)
Jeff was like “Oh good, you got us an umbrella!” and then I was like “Oh, I didn’t get this umbrella FOR RAIN.” lol!
love those blocks – have a 4 month old they would make a good gift for later -
I love Day-Spring and didn’t know they have a website. Thanks for the discount code and the chance to win.
love this site – the large purses are so pretty but I think my favorite is the crown necklace
I love all of the pretties!
I saw go for the gold necklace!
I love everything DaySpring.
I love Dayspring’s stuff! I love the “So True” line (at least I think that’s the name) – the stuff with the little vintage-y girls on them.
I have purchased from Dayspring before and loved the items I received. Thanks.
I need that jewelry tree, badly! Now I can clean up the top of the dresser.
Thanks for sharing all this goodness!
OMGravy….you soooooo “need” both of the necklaces….SERIOUSLY!!!! Glad I could help clear that up
that tree is so cute! and that umbrella – i want one! more for photos than rainy days, lol. I like the “I am His” necklace.
I love the jewelry tree! What an awesome giveaway!
I LOVE DAYSPRING and so would LOVE to win
p.s. I didn’t see the rafflecopter box to say “I Did This” too
I like the antique gold neckalce and totally think you should get that one!
I like th antique gold necklace – I’m a gold gal. But the blessing blocks are soo cute. Don’t see the rafflecopter box though. The jewlery holder is such a great style also.
I love their wall decor.
I love the note cards, I have been looking for something just like this! Thanks Kayla!
Those blocks are awesome . . . I love really woolly!
I’m in love with that jewelry tree!!
LOVE this giveaway. I all of the sudden have 2 nephews and 1 niece and I would love to buy them a few things from here!
I would have to suggest the God Has My Heart silver pendant necklace. LOVE IT! (If you don’t want one for yourself, feel free to order one for me!!! LOL) It’s a very versatile, every-day necklace that works for anything from a jeans/tshirt day to (few and far between) date night with the Hubs. You should also think about the matching bracelet. Such a simple bracelet that would look just as good on its own as would with a wrist-ful of bangles.
Thanks for introducing me to Day Spring–I had never heard of the company before your post. I’m only in the jewelry, and I’m already impressed (with a too-full cart, at that!).
I would go with the gold necklace!!
I have been looking for inspiring things for my new house, what a great site!
I like the crown necklace. And I’m sort of thinking I need that jewelry stand now. I love that it has a place for necklaces AND a little tray for rings/earrings.
Ugh. I couldn’t see the little rafflecopter box.
That’s okay Misty, I’ve entered your entry manually!
I’ve never bought anything from Dayspring, but their things look amazing.
I love the jewelry tree. That’s what I’d like to buy first. And I think you should get the matching necklace.
Oh, I love the gold necklace! I have been browsing the website for hours now and I’m totally in love! Thanks
would love the GC. I already need some Christmas and Baptism gifts on the horizon. Thank you for the chance.
I love both the “Be Strong and Courageous” and “Trust in the Lord” dog tag necklaces. It’d be fantastic to have both on my key chain to serve as much needed daily reminders to myself.
And, PS, I’d go with the antique gold necklace.
This would help buy some Christmas gifts for family.
love the jewelry tree–and the blank note cards…time to start holiday shopping
thanks for the suggestions.
The antiqued gold finish necklace is my suggestion….but I am partial to birds lately!
i like both as well!
I vote for the crown necklace! Thanks for the giveaway. I love that jewelry tree!
LOVE the website!! And I would have to choose the Antiqued Gold Finish Necklace.
You can’t go wrong with either necklace choice! Gorgeous! Personally I think I like the antique gold just a smidge better:)
I’m also loving the jewelry tree, it’s at the top of my wishlist so I’d love to win so I can buy it!!!
I love the antique gold necklace. It is so beautiful.
My list of DaySpring favorite things is tooo long to put here! Isn’t it an awesome company?!
I think If I won I would first order the REDEEMED OVERNIGHT BAG- Lovely By Design, for a birthday or Christmas gift for my daughter and/or granddaughter… then if there was anything left , I might order something I’ve wanted for myself for awhile… Holly Gerth’s Make A Difference oil cloth DREAM Aqua Tote… its been on my wishlist since it first came out!.. Then I also love the Redeemed I am His necklace, which would be a great birthday gift for my granddaughter. Thanks so much for such an inspiring giveaway!

Awesome giveaway.
would love to win this
I would get the necklace to match your earrings, but I think all jewelry should come in sets.
Never been to the day spring website. Love the blue earrings.
I love ALL their Redeemed line… I’m so indecisive, too!!
Thanks for the chance to win!!
Antique gold necklace is my pick! I enjoyed looking at the products you posted. too.
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
