Rump-Roast {Review & Giveaway} Personalized photo-art apparel

{This giveaway is now closed. Thanks to those who entered!}

Like all moms, there are days that I have no idea what I'm doing. When it comes to my kids, have I made the best possible choices? Are they going to grow up to realize their full potential, if not more, due to my parenting?

Who knows? Those are the questions that really will never be answered. What I am sure of, however, is that the best gift I've ever given to both of them is each other. As much as it's great to have ol' Mom and Dad around, nothing can compare to the love that these sisters have for each other.

The excitement on Little Sister B's face when she catches a glimpse of her older sister for the first time in the morning and the tenderness that Big Sister E displays when she shows her younger sister how to play with any particular toy... not to mention the amount of time they spend giggling and hugging each other. I'm constantly amazed by how special their relationship is already and how much I wish for it to continue as they grow up.

So what could be better to celebrate their great sibling love than a shirt to display that message? But a traditional, off-the-rack I Love My Sister shirt just won't do. Instead, how about one that is original and personalized and shows off exactly how cute they are in an adorable, customized way? Where to find just that? From the humorous and adorable collection at Rump-Roast, of course.

After having a child and leaving her film and photographic production company in 2006, Danielle Moir-Kaplan went looking for a way to creatively display the love that surrounds children from their family. With 140 unique and fun templates to choose from, Rump-Roast has a design for everyone that can be customized to fit just for you.

The most difficult part about ordering from Rump-Roast was deciding which cute design was my favorite. I knew that Big Sister E would be really excited to wear a shirt with a picture of her and her sister on it, but there were so many styles that I really liked. True Love Plain was one of my top choices... but I just couldn't find a single picture that I liked enough.

When I came upon the sibling shirts, I knew they were perfect. After pondering the Sibling + Sibling = Family Candy Font design for a while, I decided that the Sibling + Sibling = Love Block Border was perfect. Uploading and previewing my pictures couldn't have been easier and it took only a second or two to edit them to fit in the boxes like I wanted. I then had the option of choosing the color for both the frames and the text before selecting the size and item of clothing I preferred (onesie, t-shirt, tank top or karate pants).

Considering the result and the response this shirt has received from Big Sister E (and everyone else who has seen it - my husband included), Rump-Roast is definitely a big hit. So much so, that someone else loves getting in on the action as well and checking out the happy faces...

The quality of our Rump-Roast shirt is top notch with both the fabric and the printing itself. The cotton is soft and comfortable and the images were transferred in such a way that they blend right into the shirt, showing no signs of peeling or fading away. Even after having been worn by a 3-year-old, washed and dried, Big Sister E's Rump-Roast shirt shows no wear or tear at all.

With sizes available for 0 up to 12 years (prices range from $18.50 to $24.75) and designs for parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles or friends, there is sure to be more than one unique and amusing Rump-Roast style to celebrate the child(ren) in your life. What a great way to show how much you care for any special occasion or holiday!
