This summer, McCormick and Schmick’s is helping to revive date night with a special offer: through September, or while supplies last, purchase any dinner entrée and receive an unrestricted movie ticket for only $5.00. Have you been to the movies lately? If so, you know that $5.00 is a steal for a movie ticket these days. Sounds like a fantastic date to me - out to dinner and then to a movie! My husband and I are looking forward to it that's for sure.
Trying different cloth diapers has really become something I love doing - finding what really works and which diapers are definitely worth investing in. I was happy to work with Bumkins as I have heard the name before but have never heard a lot about the products they carry.
and anti-allergic and did you know it actually absorbs 60% more than cotton? This diaper requires a waterproof diaper cover and we've been using it with the Bumkins cover, which works for the most part. I have had leaks on occasion with this cover because it seems to need to be a bit wider to really hold in another diaper. I like the light weight of this cover and the air vent in the back (which I've never seen before), the extra leg gussets and all the pretty prints to choose from. The Contour Diaper was not used a whole lot here, even though one-size fits most my daughter was a bit large (22 lbs) for it and it wouldn't stay on correctly even with a Snappi. This diaper did absorb a lot though, and if she was smaller I believe would work fantastic with the sewn in bamboo soaker it will really absorb - I definitely plan on trying this with the new baby soon. A diaper cover is also required with this diaper, but there shouldn't be any leaks with those leg gussets that look great.
Win It! One Momma In Flip Flops2 reader will win the Contour Diaper and Diaper Cover of Choice from Bumkins. To Enter.
especially active people in your family this just might be a fabulous detergent for you. The pouch uses 83% less plastic than other bottles because of it's unique 24 FL OZ pouch. This also works for top load, front load, high efficiency washers and hand washing. Basically - it works of all of us!

The more I find out about natural, organic products the more I like to use them. Not everything is natural but then I find out about something awful about it and I find myself searching for the natural products and loving them. EcoSMART has opened my eyes to going organic with products such as bug killers, lawn care, weed killers, insect repellent and more.
possibly be toxic on you, when you're spraying it a lot. EcoSMARTS insect repellent keeps away mosquitoes, ticks, gnats and more while working for hours, isn't oily and is completely non-toxic and safe for the entire family. I love it!

I really like to find toys, games and like items that my husband and I enjoy doing and keep our children's interest and is fun all at the same time. My husband and three year old son had the opportunity to spend some quality time together building a cute wooden truck and painting it from Nico & Zoe Toys. What was great about this item was that a lot of things 'geared' towards a certain age like that are either entirely too easy or too hard for my son. This was excellent, my husband helped very little - my son put the correct parts where they went and pounded it with a hammer. Then the painting began, however he wanted it to be - he had tons of fun! These little 
cars are very inexpensive as well - an easy and fun project that's not a lot of money.
Heather was one of the two randomly selected winners of the GroBaby Cloth Diaper last week and has already received her diaper and is putting it to good use! Congratulations again Heather.

KC Los Angeles is a great site when looking for t-shirts with a little Latin flare to them. My sister was able to review the very cute pink and yellow Fe (faith) shirt from KC Los Angeles and not only does she look amazing in it and gets tons of compliments while wearing, the shirt was a hit in many other aspect. Made of 100% combed cotton and made in the USA it feels great, is true to size and there was absolutely no shrinking or bleeding of colors into one another when washed. Shrinking and colors bleeding is no fun when you have a fabulous shirt you love to wear!
Don't you hate having those dry clean only clothing and you have to take them in and pick them up. I hate it so much I refuse to by anything like that anymore. However Woolite has developed the Dry Clean At home - Dry Cleaner's Secret and it even works in the dryer.

Have you visited The Baby Tree before, or is this your first time hearing about the shop? I love this cute, trendy site that carries fantastic products for mommy and baby. Every time I browse what they have to offer I see more and more that I'd love to have in our home. I know you'll feel the same.
one. The Snug & Tug makes swaddling easy, with easy openings to wrap the blanket completely around your baby, enough wiggle room to let you kick, wiggle and grow while still being swaddled and velcro to keep the blanket together and not coming apart. Also it's really, really soft. I could cuddle up with this blanket anytime it's so soft. The Snug & Tug also comes in several different colors to suit your baby's gender or whatever you love. Included is easy to use instructions so anyone can figure out how to use the Snug & Tug.
House and Garden Boutique is a lovely online site that will have you wanting more - from fine accessories, interior design and many unique items you will be sure to find something fantastic for yourself or even as a gift. I have been eying some of the lovely handbags she sells as well as many other things.
could use something like this - it's all ready to go. My sister is a big coffee drinking and I've been thinking of getting one of these for her - save the environment with your own cup and look stylish while doing so.
Kids (and adults!) love to personalize and decorate things. I've always used that puffy fabric paint that turns out scratchy and ends up peeling off over time. Never again! I just had the opportunity to try TeeJuice Fabrics Markers from Jacquard Products and the difference is amazing! 
cotton to synthetics to canvas and even leather. The Broad Tip TeeJuice Fabric Marker is perfect for kids and great for filling in large areas with color. The Fineliner TeeJuice Pen can be used for adding highlights. And Jacquard Products has just introduced the Medium Point TeeJuice Pen, just right for all the details in between. TeeJuice Fabric Markers are available in 8 colors and can be purchased individually or in box sets. And parents will be happy to know all 3 sizes are non-toxic.
My 3 year old had a great time creating shirts for her and her sister using the TeeJuice Fabric Markers. I stretched the shirts over cardboard to stabilize the fabric and it worked pretty good. For someone doing a more complicated design, they'll want to stretch the fabric as tight as they can to avoid marker pull on the fabric. Check out www.TeeJuice.com to see some of the creative designs others have created or to enter your own design in their weekly and quarterly contests.
Coming across hip cute boutiques that carry more than just a few items that interest me is always fantastic. Purchase a lot at one stop and no need to worry about paying shipping to a tons of different sites. The Baby's Bundle carries tons of cute items that you won't necessarily have to shop around long.
fire fighting anything so it was great to find a shirt I thought looked good and fit great that he loves to put on. My daughter an adorable pair of Fourth of July clippies and she looked adorable wearing them this past fourth. Clippies and hair accessories are always a hit here so as long as they are made with good quality and look cute we're happy.
My daughter is getting older, we just celebrated birthday number 2! With that being said I'm still as picky as always about the shoes she wears, I want something comfortable, supportive and flexible for her growing feet. I was very happy with the selection and quality I found with Jack and Lily Shoes.
able to find any that I think are flexible enough and not bulky. These are perfect - made of 100% cowhide leather, flexible and breathable with an easy velcro strap for adjustment. Very light, with a nice cushion sole, and even recommended Podiatrists. These are available in several different sizes and fabulous for a tenny shoe. They also come in an adorable keepsake box, great for gift giving!
huge but is able to carry a lot. Remember the environment when shopping!
Beautiful ocean and beach photography always catch my eye. Especially when it's unique and really captures the beauty of the surroundings. Natures Notebook by Courtney Noelle has a beautiful way of capturing the beauty and tranquility in her photography of the ocean and beaches.
choose religious items, housewarming, graduation and more. Not just limited to the photo's, you can purchase with the frames, on canvas, and more - so much to choose and fall in love with.
"The tee is very soft, even softer after washing. It seems to be true to size as it's a 3-6 months and fits my 4 1/2 month old daughter well but should still fit for a couple of months. The little bee on the pocket is adorable! The colour is great too - a nice gender neutral blue that looks good on my baby girl but would also be able to be used on a boy. My only complaint (although that sounds too negative for this minor issue) is that it doesn't have a snap neck so I have to stretch it over her head which seems a little uncomfortable for her sometimes. That being said, my kids seem to have heads slightly on the larger side of normal so maybe that wouldn't even be an issue for others. 
A lot of times I need a little bag that can fit my essential little items in while shopping without taking my entire purse inside. Something that I can easily carry and carry the many other items I need. I love my wristlet handbag and matching key chain I have from Sweet Irie. What my favorite thing for this is just jumping out for a quick garage sale or something like that. My wristlet is big enough for money and other little needs but small enough that it's not bulky and getting in the way. The key chain is great and exactly what I just told one of my friends I really needed just not that long ago. It keeps my keys with me so I don't lose them. Ugh!
straps and more. They come in really nice fabrics as well. At an affordable price you are going to find something fantastic to suit you or as a gift for someone else. Gift Certificates are even available in case you just can't pick that special thing out to give. Shop by color, item and even check out her sale items.
