Shoo Shoos - Baby & Toddler Giveaway Has Ended

I'm sure most of you already know that my sister and I are both fans of the soft soled shoes that Shoo Shoos has to offer and being that I'm a Shoo Shoos mom you're going to hear it again! Shoo Shoos are great for little feet as they're very flexible, comfortable and soft, perfect for the little maturing feet. With that said, it's time to make sure your baby and toddlers have shoes on their feet for this fall season and Shoo Shoos has plenty to choose from. I'm loving the new fall boots, aren't you?

Infantino EcoSash, Wrap & Tie Carrier - {Giveaway Has Ended}

Baby wearing month is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean I'm about to stop talking about it! Just recently I had the opportunity to try out the new EcoSash Wrap & Tie carrier from Infantino, a buckle-free, wrap, tie and go carrier. One of my favorite type of carriers is the mei tai and this is very similar but with more features and a bit more stability. The EcoSash is designed for children 8-35lb, features wide padded straps, a supportive head rest that folds down and a easily snap on soft hood. My husband really likes the reversible fabric panel so we both have the style we prefer depending on who's carrying the child & it comes with a machine washable mesh bag for cleaning & for storing. I also liked that with this carrier there is a natural sitting position for baby, making it more comfortable for them & that you have three different options for carrying baby - facing in, back carry & facing out. What I found unique about this carrier compared to others with the facing out option is that it has a fabric strap that you can wrap around the EcoSash creating a cinch, the perfect width for baby. Overall I have found the carrier to be comfortable, especially in the facing in position and look forward to wearing my children in it. It's easy to get on and off with baby and it's nice to have a carrier that's quick and easy. Infantino has some great instructions on this carrier as well as a demonstration video on their website. The EcoSash is available in different colors and fabric panels!

Hatley Store, Pajamas - {Giveaway Has Ended}

Having comfortable sleepwear is just as important to me as having comfortable day wear. I can't sleep if I'm not comfortable and neither can my children. Hatley store has a lot of cute sleepwear for boys and girls that are equally as comfortable as they are cute. My son has been wearing the handsome Hatley Young Buck pajama set all summer long, made of 100% cotton he's comfortable and the fit is great. I love that we were able to find pajamas that my son liked just as much as something he would wear daily. Hatley also carries several other products for both boys and girls and infants - like day wear, beach wear, rain gear and even toys. Don't forget men & woman, products for the entire family and I'm sure you'll find exactly what you're looking for!

Children's Apparel from Tea Collection

I love to shop for classic apparel as well as the trendy modern things that are out there right now when it comes to my children and I love how I can find a mixture of that in the products from the Tea Collections. Dresses for my daughter that have a classic look but still have that today look. One of my favorites for the new fall collections that Tea offers is the Covasna Floral Dress I got for my daughter, adorable with nothing else, but so cute with a pair of jean leggings or any leggings for that matter or cute tights. I also fell in love (along with about the entire fall collection of girl and boys apparel) with the Bandana Lace print Dress, reminds me so much of dresses my sisters and I used to wear, but for today. Tea Collection has products for woman now too as well as great products for both boys and girls and sizes ranging in baby clothes all the way up to size twelve. If you're looking for quality apparel Tea is a great place to shop. Check out the Tea Collection blog and how some of these prints came to be, this is awesome!

Ramblers Way Farm, Re-Imagine Wool

I'm not sure about everyone else but when I think of wool the first thing that comes used to come to mind is itchy and uncomfortable, well not anymore - not with the amazingly soft and comfortable wool apparel from Ramblers Way Farm. I received the Women's Next-to-Skin Cross Neck long sleeved top and not only is the fit perfect but it's unbelievably soft and comfortable. This top is made with superfine, 18.5 micron Rambouillet wool and is thin and perfect for layering underneath other clothing without worrying about bunching. Ramblers Way carries other great looking wool products for both men and women. If you are unfamiliar with wool, especially Ramblers Way Wool then it's time you read more about it. Some of my favorite features of this wool.. believe it or not actually warm and cool equally making it wearable in nearly all seasons and the garments are natural, non-synthetic, and chemical-free. Wool is a complex fiber with properties for superior insulation, water repellency, water absorption and odor control. One you check out wool and just how great it is, I know you will have a hard time resisting.You can follow Ramblers Way Farm on Facebook & Twitter. Tell me - do you like wool, did you learn anything from checking out the site?

Let That Beauty Shine - {Giveaway Has Ended}

Sometimes the things we do can definitely leave their mark on our body.. like coffee and wine drinking.. making your teeth not quite pearly white, not putting your SPF on regularly and having sun spots (unfortunately I've got those) and even red eyes. There are now over the counter products that can help those beauty issues. Topol Plus is a flouride toothpaste that effectively fights stains from tobacco, coffee, tea & wine. It even fights plaque, prevents cavities, freshens breath and my favorite whitens teeth. I received the fresh mint and though I have not been using it for a long time I look forward to making my teeth even whiter. Topol Plus can be used by both adults and children six and older so great for the family and is available at Walmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid and other mass retailers.

Win!

Trading Phrases Decals - {Giveaway Has ended}

I love wall decals, they can really make a room pop and they can be made specifically for the room and as personalized as you would like. I have many throughout my home and have added a new favorite site for purchasing them called Trading Phrases. This site has so much to choose from, view the gallery, customize exactly what you want, find quotes, check out what the designers like best and so much more. I found the perfect quote from browsing the site for my newly finished bathroom - "Faith is like the Wind. You can't see it but you know it's there." I was easily able to pick the color that would look best and the size for my space. As you can see from the picture, I think it looks great. I've only received tons of compliments! Decals are super easy to put up and what's great about Trading Phrases is that they come with step by step instructions, a small tool to help remove the decal and helpful customer service if you were to need the help. Though I can't imagine removing any of my decals because I like them so much, there is no need to worry if you do want to remove them. They easily peal of and don't leave any marks behind. If you have any questions check out the FAQ on the site for all kinds of great information.

E-Z Bat with a Home Run- {Giveaway Has Ended}

I know summer has come to an end but there are still plenty of great days out there to play! I know for many of us fall is the ideal weather because you can actually play and run around with your kids without feeling overly hot. We received the E-Z Bat from Monkey Business Sports, a soft foam back with 2 E-Z balls that has been fun for my son and daughter. My son already being skilled at hitting a ball loves the pitch and hit, but my daughter who has no clue yet loves to use the bat for swinging and flinging it. The unique feature about this product is that the bat is an adjustable E-Z ball stopper is that you adjust it to where it works best for your swing, it does take a bit of find tuning but once you get it, it's a lot of fun. My daughter feels just like a big kid playing ball and both my children can take turns playing with a product that's great for both ages!

Fun with Oliva Playset & Plush

We have only seen the hit Nick Jr. television show Olivia a few times and read the best selling children's book a few but when the 2-in-1 transforming play set and 8" plush Olivia doll came to our doorstep my children have been playing non-stop. Olivia inspires kids everywhere to think boldly and follow their dreams. Spin Master has brought those Olivia fans a collection of fun and creative toys! The 8" plush is a fun soft stuffed animal. Collect all four Artist, Opera Singer, Cow & Outfits. My children mostly enjoyed the transforming playset that turns into the Olivia house or a incredibly fun pirate ship - included is 23 accessories, one sticker sheet and the Olivia figure. My children love to dress her up as a pirate or just Olivia, go on adventures and set up all the accessories. This was incredible ingenious design that both my son and daughter loved and my engineer of a husband couldn't believe. We have had nothing but fun with the set. Available at Toy's 'R' Us, Kmart and Target.

Crafty Kids Playhouses - {Giveaway Has Ended}

Some of you may remember my post about the Kids Craft (now known as Crafty Kids) playhouse. My kids are still enjoying it, and I have actually been able to take it apart and put it back together again for play. Now Crafty Kids have the shuttle imagination and creation cottage playhouses that are 1/3 of the size - easy assemble and just as fun. My daughter and son for that matter love the small creation cottage, we assembled in no time and the kids got to work with some creative artwork and now they have a perfect little house for dolls and action figures. These fun mini white cardboard structures are made from 100% recycled material, made in the USA & a great eco-friendly way to be creative and have fun. Don't let the cardboard structure fool you either, they are sturdy and make for a great project that your children can create and play with for long time later.

Shoo Shoos, Soft Soled Shoes Review

Fall has arrived, which means I've had to break down and actually start putting shoes on my 9 month old. He's been running around in socks or barefeet since he was born but now that he is learning to walk we need something to protect his feet and keep them warm. Shooshoos has the most adorable (and comfortable) soft soled shoes you could hope to find! We were delighted to try out a pair of Smiley Sports in Sand/Beige. They are really cute, but the best part is how soft and
flexible they are. I don't know about you but I sometimes find it impossible to get shoes on my little guy (I think he is scrunching up his toes in there on purpose), but these are easy and slip on with no laces. While our little guy isn't walking yet, I can see how these would help him to learn. They have a non-slip sole but are very flexible and light which I think will help him to grip the floor more easily. ShooShoos come in tons of adorable styles and colors and they
truly have something for all little feet.

Moms: Know your Rights as a Breastfeeding Working Mother

Are you going back to work? Do you have friends or family who are going back to work? Do you have coworkers returning from maternity leave? When the new Healthcare Reform was passed last March hidden it it is a policy that effects every working breastfeeding mother. With this, all employers with 50+ employees are required to comply with this new legislation.

As a breastfeeding mother, you have the right to:

  • Take the time to pump: You are entitled to be given breaks as needed to pump at work until your baby's first birthday.
  • Private space to pump: Pump in the bathroom stall no longer! Your employer must provide you with a private space to pump other than a restroom.
  • A Breastfeeding Policy: All employers must provide you with a lactation policy. Don't have one? A great resource to provide your employers with is this: Five Simple Steps to Create and Implement a Breastfeeding Policy in the Workplace (http://www.breastfeedinginformation.org/white-paper).
Know your rights and help spread the word to bring awareness of this reform to all women. Looking for more great tips on going back to work?

National Geographic Kids - {Giveaway Has Ended}

Are you looking for some books that are fun, interactive and educational for your kids? National Geographic Kids has three books that though my children are younger my husband and I got a kick out of reading them to our five year old and finding some great facts out ourselves. "The Big Book of Fun" is an interactive game book that has over 75 mazes, games, fill in the blanks and more. "National Geographic Kids Almanac" has been updated for 2011, is a best seller and has become a gold standard. Find puzzles, projects, experiments, pictures of our planet and more than 5,000 amazing, fun facts. This book has homework helper sections, and chapters on science, geography and history. My favorite has been the "Weird but True", is based on a page in the popular National Geographic Kids magazine where kids can flip through 301 outrageous facts - for instance, an elephant tooth can weigh as much as a bowling ball and a dog can make about 100 different facial expressions. Bet you didn't know that? These books are great for reading to the younger ones, older kids and the entire family.

Win! One reader will win these three books. To enter:

Barbie, A Fashion Fairytale DVD

When I was younger my sisters and I would spend hours playing Barbie - dressing Barbie up, playing house, cruising the house in our automobiles,we loved her! Now that my daughter is getting older I hope she can enjoy playing with Barbie as well. We received the 1 hour and 23 minute DVD - Barbie, A Fashion Fairytale to review. This DVD is a modern day fairytale as Barbie shows that magic can happen if you believe in yourself. Things go wrong at home as Barbie gets fired and Ken somehow breaks up with her, she goes to Paris to visit her Aunt where she and a shy fashion designer create fabulous fashion shows. The movie was fun, but a little to mature for my daughter - she's not quite ready for shows that are so modernized. However we did like the fashion and Barbie coming to life in a DVD and the bonus features were fun to watch. This DVD just hit the shelves and even find the accompanying toy that really brings the movie to life, available in stores nationwide. Find more information and fashion games related to Barbie, A Fashion Fairytale at www.barbie.com.

CARES, Flying Safe with Kids Made Easy - {Giveaway Has Ended}

Many of you know we just returned from a family vacation to Mexico. As you can imagine, flying with three children under the age of five was something I was a bit worried about, especially for my three year old. She tends to squirm and want to go and not sit anywhere, but the though of bringing a car seat was not my idea of fun. I was very thankful to have the opportunity to review the CARES (Child Aviation Restraint System), which takes the place of a car seat when flying, has been approved by the FAA for all phases of airplane travel, for children 22-44 lbs in their own seat and winner of the 2008 Good housekeeping Good Buy Awards. Weighing less than a pound and only a couple of minutes to slide over the seat, and adjust for your child you are ready go to and your child is safely secure in their own seat. We even had the flight attendants ask where we got such a great restraint system they liked it so much. The CARES comes with a travel bag, an instructional DVD and super easy to use. Easily slide over the seat of the chair under the lap tray, pulling securely, slide seat belt through the loops, buckle and use the adjustable should straps and chest clip to get the perfect fit. If you are traveling, this is perfect way to keep your little one safe! Read more about this product on the CARES website.
