Dabib Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
With Princess P eating solid foods now we have serious messes on our hands (and shirts and pants)! So I was so ecstatic when the DaGiggles bib from DaBib showed up at my door.



DaBib makes two different styles of bibs. The DaHugs and the DaGiggles. DaHugs is made of microfiber terry on the front and it has a waterproof backing. This option is great if your little one is primarily on a liquid diet. The DaGiggles is a great option for toddlers. It is entirely waterproof and easily wipes off. Both of the bibs feature a very convenient "Crumb Catcher" and a "Scrunch Collar".




I could not wait to try the DaGiggles bib with Princess P. The material of the bib is really soft. Not at all the plastic texture I imagined it to be (it is made out of 100% polyester). The coverage area is extra wide. And it is longer than standard bibs. My favorite feature is the "Scrunch Collar". It is an absorbent collar that doesn't let anything past it! P creates a mess when she is drinking juice. Most of the juice usually ends up down the front of her shirt. But not with the DaGiggles bib. Another thing I really like is the "Food Catcher". When I first looked at the bib I thought it was strange that they put it on the inside. Then I done some reading and totally understood. It is made that way so when the "Food Catcher" is not in use the bib lays flush. But if you need it you just fold it forward. That way it stands open wide and catches anything that misses your little one's mouth. They also made it this way so food hits an outside seam instead of an inside seam making clean up a breeze! I have nothing else to say other than that I would recommend this bib to any mother, father, grandparent, aunt, everyone!

You have to check out the two videos DaBib has. They are too cute!

chicBuds Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
I love my pink iPod but the plain ear buds that came with it are less than desirable. I wanted ear buds with a lot of glam, and of course Pink! So I could not believe my eyes when I found chicBuds. They are genuine Swarovski Crystal adorned earphones that come in a range of colors and limited edition styles!




chicBuds have a built in retractable cord so they don't tangle like tradition cords. And the retractor even has 5 stopping points to adjust to your desired length. chicBuds are compatible with iPod, MP3 Player, Walkmen, Airplane Connectors, DVD Players, and Cell Phones. The chicBuds even have a built in clip to fasten to clothing while running or working out.



I was lucky enough to give the black chicBuds with the watermelon color a try. I have to say they match my pink iPod perfectly! The ear buds don't hurt my ears like some of the others do. And they seem to stay in my ears while walking. (I have not tried running in them yet.) The retractable cord is a great feature. Except you have to remember to pull both ends at the same time or you will end up with a tangled cord. Trust me, that happened to me a few times. I love the fact that the cord has 5 stopping points so you can adjust the length. And the clip is great to prevent the cord from bouncing. I definitely love the overall look and function of the chicBuds.
Who said you couldn't look good while listening to music?


One lucky winner will receive a pair of chicBuds in the Black/Marshmallow (clear) color!!

To enter: You must visit chicBuds and tell me what color, other than the black/watermelon and the black/marshmallow colors, is your favorite.
Please leave an email address. I have to have a way to contact the winner!

Flirty Girl Fitness Review

Two (almost three) months into the New Year and many of my resolutions have already been broken. Most of them due to time and the lack of motivation. But one very important resolution, loosing my "baby pooch", is revived thanks to two sisters who created Flirty Girl Fitness.



Flirty Girl Fitness was created in 2005 by two sisters, Kerry and Krista Knee. After being unable to find a sexy workout class outside of LA. Kerry took it upon herself to master the moves. Before long Krista had masterminded the spins and techniques involved. The rest was history.

I was so excited when the DVDs arrived at my house. I put Princess P in her jumperoo and popped one in. The first up was Booty Beat.

Booty Beat is basically steps taken from music videos and incorporated with aerobic exercises. Each count was simple to master and very well explained. But I have to tell you, I was out of breath before I knew it. My thighs were on fire and I was definitely sweating! But all in a very "I can feel it working" kind of way. At the end all the steps you learned are put together into a dance. While I am sure I didn't look like the girls on t.v. I had fun doing it. Then came the stretching. Can I just say that it kicked my butt! The "cat-crawl" push-ups while they looked simple and sexy on t.v., they hurt! (But in a good way.) Overall, I really enjoyed this DVD and I am ranking it my second favorite.

Next, I was onto the Just Teasing routine. While this was a very sexy routine I got lost in the counts and had to keep rewinding it. I got lost several times and Princess P kept laughing. (You know you have to look pretty silly for your 8 month old to laugh at you!) I am sure that if I work on this routine everyday it would be really sexy and I would get a great workout. But just doing it the first couple of times I didn't feel like a got a good workout.



The next DVD in the Teaser Collection I tried was the Chair Dance. I really like this routine. Although just throwing a warning out there, don't use a fold up chair! Once again the moves where broken do into simple counts and were fairly easy to master. Due to my lack of coordination though, it might take me a couple of run-throughs to master it. But when I do, C better watch out!

After Chair Dance it was onto Chair Fit. This was an excellent DVD. It turns your chair literally into a workout bench. I love the fact that it had the exercises with and without the weights. I was even able to do some of the harder moves. I definitely felt my muscles burning in this one! Thank goodness for the wonderful cool down. Overall, Chair Fit was a little on the long side (or I am just that out of shape) but it was a great workout.

Last, but certainly not least was Abs & Booty. I have to admit I was looking forward to this one the most. Unfortunately C was off while I was doing this DVD so I got his critiquing the whole time. This one kicked my butt (literally) the most out of all the DVDs I tried. The moves tended to be a bit hard at times. But thanks to Winnie (one of the girls on the DVD) and her "less advanced" moves I made it through. I could definitely feel the burn in my abs, glutes, and thighs. (All the places I needed to work on!) I even got C in on some of the action! I was tired of hearing his " Stop being a wimp. That looks so easy." attitude. His tune changed after some of the "booty" exercises. The stretching at the end felt wonderful! C even found a stretch that he can't wait to show the boys at PT. (Of course he will never tell them where he learned it from.) Judging from the way my abs felt the next day if I continue with this workout my "baby pooch" will definitely be gone!

I enjoyed everyone of these DVDs. And I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to get in shape or even just learn some sexy moves. The thing I want to conquer next... the pole dancing kit!

PopATot Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
Since we have no family around us we are always traveling to go see them. And to keep Princess P entertained we have to bring along tons of stuff. Her jumperoo, walker, and all sorts of toys. By the time the car is packed with her things there is virtually no room for our clothes. So when I found the PopATot I was so happy! Finally, a solution to our problem.



PopATot is an activity center for babies, ages 6-18 months, that folds up much like a camping chair (36" x 5" to be exact)! It is supported by a sturdy lightweight collapsible steel frame and can hold up to 33lbs. It has a padded, double stitched seat that is flexible for easy movement. The PopATot has a removable canvas floor cover that can protect your little one's feet from grass, sand and dirt. Or, if you are using the PopATot indoors, it can shield your floor from messy crumbs.



The PopATot was such a wonderful product to review. Judging by the size of the bag when it arrived I figured it was going to be small. But when we opened it up, I couldn't believe the size! It was so simple to set up and attach the two safety latches. And in seconds Princess P was ready to play. The PopATot comes with toy loops all around. And it even has two cup holders perfect for your little one's favorite sippy cup. This will be great for the beach, barbecues, vacations, gardening, football games, the list could go on forever! I cannot wait to take it on our next trip to visit family. We will have so much room in the car that I might be able to pack all the shoes I originally wanted to take. :)

Right now you can purchase the PopATot for $49.99 (that is $10 off the regular price) and get free shipping. You can also get the Sassy Lively Links free with the purchase of a PopATot!

One lucky winner will receive their very own PopATot!

To Enter: You must visit PopATot and tell me one of your favorite features AND how you will be using this the most.

Modbe Review

With spring rapidly approaching the thought of more reveling clothes enters my head. And that frightens me. This time last year I was happily baking Princess P and could care less what my figured looked like. Well, this year I am paying for that decision. One of my New Year's resolutions was to lose that unwanted "baby pooch". And that meant I needed an entire new wardrobe of workout clothes. That's when I happened to find the Modbe Move Collection.

"Modbe Move adds flexibility to your wardrobe with functional, easy pieces that go from 0-90 in 2.3 seconds. Whether you're running errands, sprinting between the kids and work, or breaking a serious sweat, you''ll feel calm, look cool and have plenty of coverage. Like everything Modbe, we've focused on adding brains and beauty to these new classics. Design details like longer length tanks, waist band that slim your shape, seamless construction for smooth lines and high quality fabrics. Qualities you'll appreciate, whether you're touching to your toes or bending over backwards. Our Move line is everything you love about Modbe-made to go."

You can find functional, flattering pieces from Modbe Move like Pants, Capris, Tanks and Wraps. Modbe even has their very own Pilates DVD called "Movin' with Modbe". And right now the entire Modbe Move collection is on sale!
But that is not all you can find at Modbe. They have stylish Denim, Tees, Tanks, Swimwear and Accessories. All at great prices.



I had the opportunity to try the Modbe Move Balance Tank in white. Upon arrival I could not help but to notice how cute the design was. But was it functional? The fabric (87% Nylon 13% Spandex)has a great feel and stretch to it. I love how it is higher in the front so I don't feel like the "girls" are going to be making a surprise appearance. But the back is a little lower showing off what I think is one of my best assets, my shoulders and back (thanks to lugging Princess P around). The Balance Tank has a built in shelf bra with removable cups and a key pocket. While the shelf bra is nice the removable cups don't really stay in place. Overall, I really like the tank. It is form fitting but not so tight that I feel self-conscious in it. You can purchase the Balance Tank at Modbe right now for $22.

Update! Modbe's Swim Line was just launched Monday. Find your perfect suit just in time for spring.

A big thanks goes out to Anne at Modbe!

Happy Panda Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
Weighing in at 8lbs 14oz when she was born Princess P went directly into a 0-3 months. Which lasted a couple of weeks and then it was on to the 3-6 months. While I know that babies grow fast, P seemed to be ahead of the game. So when I found Happy Panda I was excited that I would be able to buy the appropriate age range for P and she would be able to fit into the clothes.



Happy Panda offers tagless baby clothes for "healthier" babies. Happy Pandas clothing is designed and made right here in the United States. And they offer products from Snappies and Lap Ts to Gift Sets and Diaper Cakes. Happy Panda uses environmentally safe inks and fabrics for their clothing. And they have a convenient size chart to help find what size your "Happy Panda" would wear.




Princess P and I were sent the Fabulous Snappy to try. I was so excited to see her correct size, 6-12 months, actually be a bit loose! That was definitely a first. The 100% combined cotton fabric is super soft and it has a great thickness to it. It was easy to get over P's head. And No Tag to scratch her skin, Yay! The "Fabulous" design, literally, is totally Princess P! Right down to the diamond on the butt.





One lucky winner will receive the Flawless Gown (0-3 months) and Bib From Happy Panda!

To Enter: You must visit Happy Panda and pick out your favorite item other than the Fabulous Snappy and the Flawless gown. Come back here and tell us what it is.

Oh Crud!

Literally! Princess P has a cold. She either picked it up sometime while we were out-of-town or when we went to Chuckie Cheese's. The poor baby can't breath, she is all stuffed up. And she has a horrible time when she eats. She can't sleep because she can't breath. Which results in me sitting up all night with her on my chest. Your child being sick has to be one of the worst feelings in the world. You would do just about anything to make them feel better. Oh well, I guess we just have to ride it out.

As for the house hunting... we found one we really like! It is in a really great neighborhood. Princess P would get to go to the school system we wanted her to (where me and C went to school). It has about 600 more square feet than our current house. Which means I would have to buy new furniture (yay!). The only thing is (well two things) it is Frame Modular and it happens to be a foreclosure. The previous owners had it built in 2007 and it was foreclosed on in June of 2008. So it has been on the market for several months. And is practically brand new. Our Realtor seems a little concerned at the fact it is a Frame Modular. He said those typically have a lower resale value than traditional homes or even true Modular's. I don't know if this is true or not. But we plan to be in it several years until we can financially afford to build. And the asking price is the lowest we looked at! So I think it would be worth it. I just hope it doesn't sale before we feel comfortable putting in an offer for it. And that would be when we are confidant we can sale this house. We definitely couldn't afford two mortgages. So there are a lot of things holding us back.

And lastly, when did Chuck E Cheese's become such an awful place to go? Maybe it is just our's but the service was horrible! It was so packed and all of the kids seemed to have major attitude. We waited in line for 25 minutes to cash in our tickets for ridiculous plastic prizes. It was major drama! Some lady in front of us accused the workers of "shady business" by giving away prizes to people. That was not the case at all. It all ended with her asking the manager for the corporate offices number. After that none of the worker's wanted to help the rest of us in line. So we the lady behind me almost went behind the counter to ask for someone to help us. It was great! That lady made my night! My father-in-law was also feed up with the nonsense and gave his great-niece $15 to go with her 621 tickets to get the Polly Pocket she wanted. We had fun playing games but I don't know if I will be returning to that Chuck E Cheese's.

Neat Solutions Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
Confession time... I happened to be a waitress back in the day! So I know how well the tables in restaurants get cleaned. Now don't get me wrong, some places have immaculate reputations for cleanliness. But I still don't know if I would let my child eat directly off of the tables! So when I heard about the ingenious idea from Neat Solutions I was overjoyed.

Readers meet Table Topper. "A little sheet of neat" they like to call them. Table Toppers are disposable, stick in- place placemats that protect your little one's from dirt, germs and hazardous chemicals. All you have to do is peel and stick. And you have an instant BPA free, PVC-Free, Phthalate-Free, sanitary surface for your child. Table Topper even has fun engaging designs like, Winnie The Pooh, Baby Einstein, Sesame Street and even Dora, to keep your little one occupied.



We were lucky enough to give Table Topper's a try. The first thing I noticed was how big they are once you unfold them. They are the size of a regular placemat but fold up small enough to fit easily in your diaper bag. The two adhesive strips are at the top and bottom and run the full length of the Table Topper. And they are easy to remove after use. Princess P was very much entertained. She tried to get Winnie The Pooh and Tigger off the placemat the whole time.

Neat Solutions offers other products to stay clean and sanitary. Such as - Potty Topper, Multi-Use Pads, Disposable Bibs, Floor Topper, XL Changing Pads, All-In-One Meal Kits and much more. You can order Neat Solutions products online or you can pick them up at Babies R Us, Toys R US, Wal-Mart and Target.

I have one pack (18 Count) of Table Topper in the Winnie The Pooh print to give away to one lucky winner!

To Enter: You Must Visit Neat Solutions and pick out an item, other than the Table Topper, that you would like to try. Come back here and tell us your choice.

Humanity Review

"Humanity is the perfect mix of cause and couture."

Humanity makes trendy and stylish clothing that makes statements. With their line of clothing and accessories that spread messages about peace and love, Humanity made their mark.

With Helena Cho's fashion design background and Tammy Hotsenpiller's executive life coach experience, Humanity was born in 2008. They offer shirts, hoodies and accessories for men and women. Humanity has also just launched an inspirational children's line. They have teamed up with a very popular Nickelodeon character, SpongeBob SquarePants, to create a series of five environmentally themed shirts. This is part of Nickelodeon's ongoing campaign "The Big Green Help". The t-shirts are made in the US from 100% organic cotton and encrusted crystals. They will feature schools of fish, jelly fish, turtles and other marine life. The first t-shirt will make its debut at the 2009 Film Festival in Park City, Utah.



(Excuse the failed attempt at modeling.)
I recently was the very lucky recipient of the Peacock tee and a wrap around leather bracelet. The 3/4 sleeve V-neck shirt makes a bold statement in not only the print and color but the message as well. The inside reads: "Our earth is a gift of love and protection. She provides food, shelter, enjoyment and opportunity. But she is growing old and in need of care. Together we can make a difference by protecting the earth. Value her resources, respect her assets and replenish her beauty. Care for Mother Earth…Make a Difference." And the outside proudly states "Sow goodness... Speak Kindness... Make A Difference..." If that is not inspiring I don't know what is! The shirt is super soft and extra long.




The wrap around leather bracelet happens to be my new favorite fashion accessory. It is very stylish and daily reminder to do good in this world. "Sow love", "Make a difference" and "Live in unity" are just some of the short statements that speak volumes. The metallic statements are in different fonts for a more dramatic appearance. The bracelets come in a variety of colors, like sky blue and hunter green, to make sure you are spreading the word no matter what color outfit you are wearing.

The best part happens to be that a percentage of Each Purchase goes to support non-profit organizations.

A big thanks to EM for this review!

Susan Brown's Baby Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
I don't know about you but I have hand sanitizer stashed everywhere. Diaper bags, changing tables, the glove compartment! But being sanitized comes with a price. My hands feel dry and cracked. Not to mention the overpowering smell of alcohol. So I was overjoyed when I was introduced to Susan Brown's Baby Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer! It contains jojoba and vitamin E beads to keep your hands moisturized but squeaky clean. It has a great fragrance to it. Nothing like the horrible smell of alcohol. And best of all it is paraben free!

I was given the chance to try the Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer and I was really impressed at how it didn't leave my hands dry or sticky. It left them feeling soft and smelling great. This is a definite must have. Not just for moms but for anyone who uses hand sanitizer. Now all I have to do is replace my hiding spots with my new find! I am pretty convinced that once you have tried this, you will not want to go back to your old hand sanitizer.

I also recommend checking out the other products Susan Brown's Baby has to offer. They have great products for mom and baby!

One lucky winner will receive a bottle of Susan Brown's Baby Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer!

Wordless Wednesday: A New Discovery

Zehn Naturals Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
We all like to be fashionable. And we all love to shop at places that give back. Well, good news because I have found both of those in one place!

Zehn Naturals offers 100% certified organic cotton tees, that are printed with earth friendly inks, for men, women and children. They feature imagery by talented artists including Hannah Carpenter. Zehn Naturals also has body care, original art and eco-friendly gifts.



I recently had the chance to try the "Peace" tee from Zehn Naturals. The first thing I noticed was how super soft the tee was. It has a great color and the logo is awesome. The tee is nice and long too. Perfect for having to keep up with a little one (all you mamas know what I am talking about!). I love the tee, but one of the coolest features actually came on it.

I am talking about the amazingly cool tag! It is made out of 100% recycled cotton fiber, fresh flowers and wildflower seeds. All you have to do is plant it, keep it moist and watch it grow! How cool is that? A tag that blooms.

Zehn Naturals also donates 10% pre-tax profit to benefit education, arts, healthcare and the environment. Plus, for each tee they sale they plant a tree! Now, doesn't it make you feel good to support a company that does such wonderful things?

They are even so generous as to offer my readers 25% off your purchase at Zehn Naturals. Just enter the code Blog25.

And the generosity continues...

One lucky winner will receive a Zehn Naturals tee of their choice!

To Enter: You Must visit Zehn Naturals and find the tee you would pick if you are the lucky winner. Come back here and tell us your choice.

The Grandparent Gift Co. Review

In the mid 1990's when Terri Harrison wrote her first poem "Grandma's Heart" she had no idea that it would touch so many peoples hearts. Fast forward to now and Terri has over 100 poems, 2 books and numerous publications. She also is the creator and founder of The Grandparent Gift Co.

The Grandparent Gift Co. offers poems and sentiments written by Terri herself. Most of the products are made or assembled right here in the United States. And a great deal of the work is done by hardworking moms. They offer a special something for everyone in your life. From Moms and Dads, Grandma's and Grandpa's to children and teens. You can also find gifts for Teachers and special friends too.



I was the lucky recipient of the Mother's Heart plaque. From the moment I read it, it brought tears to my eyes. Some of the lines are so true. It is a welcome addition to Princess P's nursery.

Mother's Heart
I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
Our life together has just begun,
You're part of me my little one.
As mother with child, each day I grew,
My mind was filled with thoughts of you.
I'd daydream of the things we'd share,
Like late-night bottles and teddy bears.
Like first steps and skinned knees,
Like bedtime stories and ABCs.
I thought of things you'd want to know.
Like how birds fly and flowers grow.
I thought of lessons I'd need to share,
Like standing tall and playing fair
When I first saw your precious face,
I prayed your life be touched with grace.
I thanked the angels from above.
And promised you unending love.
Each night I lay you down to sleep,
I gently kiss your head and cheek.
I count your little fingers and toes,
I memorize your eyes and nose.
I linger at your nursery door,
Awed each day I love you more.
Through misty eyes, I dim the light,
I whisper, "I love you" every night.
I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
As mother and child our journey's begun,
My heart's yours forever little one.

Boogie Wipes Review & Giveaway

Boogie Wipes ~"Snot Your Average Wipe"~



*This giveaway is now closed.*
Admit it, you giggled when you heard the title. I know I did! But then I was very intrigued to find out what this creation was. Boogie Wipes are essentially wipes that make life a little easier. We all have struggled with our little ones pleading "just let me wipe one more time!" But after all of your hard efforts the last wipe never seems to get all the dried boogies off.



With saline and wonderful scents these gentle wipes are definitely a keeper. They moisturize with Vitamin E, Chamomile and aloe. They are hypoallergenic, alcohol free and gentle enough for all ages. And good news, they are also Phthalate & Paraben Free!!

When Princess P has a runny nose she struggles to get away from the tissue. But when I whipped out the Boogie Wipe she could instantly smell the grape scent. She was too busy trying find out what was in my hand to notice that I was wiping her nose! What a wonderful creation. Since we are also in the beginning stages of solid foods I sometimes miss and her green beans end up in her nose. This is also a perfect solution to my aiming problems! Boogie Wipes work wonders on dried green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, you name it! Boogie Wipes come in two wonderful scents Grape and Fresh Scent for your sniffing pleasure. And now they have a Magic Menthol Scent! Boogie Wipes are contained in convenient 30-count packs and individual travel packs for on the go.

One lucky winner will receive one grape scent 30-count pack and one fresh scent 30-count pack of Boogie Wipes!

To Enter: You must visit Boogie Wipes and tell us why you would like to try these.
Please, Please Leave An Email Address!! I have to have a way to contact the winner.

See Kai Run Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
Baby Shoe Bliss is the only way I can think to describe the fashion forward footwear from See Kai Run. They have shoes to match every outfit in your little one's wardrobe. From boots to sandals to adorable Mary Janes. A shoe to fit every mood!



See Kai Run was founded in 2004 by a mother who could never find the perfect shoe. One that was comfortable, had a flexible sole but was sturdy enough for her son Kai to wear outdoors. So that is when she decided to design a shoe that was all that, but also trendy and fun. The rest is history!



I honestly would love to own every pair of shoes in the See Kai Run and the Smaller collections for Princess P. And I recently got closer to my wish being granted when the Lola style shoes showed up on my doorstep! I was so excited as I pulled out the cutest little pink ballet flats with khaki and cream straps. Oh how I wish they were 20 sizes bigger so I could squeeze my foot into them! I immediately headed toward P with them. They were very simple to slide on. (And that is saying something considering how "plump" her foot is.) And they looked so very adorable! The shoes are lightweight and are made out of the softest breathable leather. The flexible sole is wonderful since P is in the "pre-walking" stage. And did I tell you how incredibly adorable they were on her!? I recommend these to any parent looking for a "healthy" shoe that is trendy too!

See Kai Run also gives back. In the November/December 2008 "share a pair" shoe matching event See Kai Run donated 9700 pairs to shoes to Soles4Souls! 9700 Pairs Of Shoes People! That is incredible.

And their generosity continues because...

One Lucky Winner will receive their choice of shoes from the See Kai Run or the Smaller Collections!!

To Enter: You Must Visit See Kai Run and find the pair of shoes you would chose if you are the lucky winner. Come back here and tell us you choice.

Build-A-Bear Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
Way before Princess P was born I was a fan of Build-A-Bear. I admit I have made my way through the Build-A-Bear process twice! And I loved every minute of it. So when Princess P came along I couldn't wait to take her and let her make her own huggable, loveable creation. Unfortunately, we have been super busy and haven't been able to make the journey. So when the Hugs Fur You Monkey showed up on our doorstep I was so excited!



Princess P took right to it! She crawled right to the Monkey and gave it a hug. I love the heart patterns on its hands, feet and chest. And I couldn't believe how cute the Hugs Fur You Monkey was dressed! Another great feature is the Monkey's Velcro hands. Perfect for cuddling!

Build-A-Bear is great for a special Valentines Day surprise or any occasion for that matter! And to make it a little easier Build-A-Bear has generously offered a $25 Gift Card to one of my readers!!

To Enter: Visit Build-A-Bear and tell me what creation you or your little one would like to make.

Nature's Baby Organics Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
"Gentle enough for baby - Rich enough for adults."

Babies skin is so soft and pure and it is up to us to keep it that way. That is why I love the products from Nature's Baby Organics.

Nature's Baby Organics products are made with 70% to 95% Certified Organic Ingredients. They are Paraben, Phthalate, and Sulfate free. The products are clinically tested and pediatrician recommended. And they are formulated for use on everyone's sensitive skin. Nature's Baby Organics is a family owned company. And they donate a percentage of all sales to the Fight Against Breast Cancer.

We were lucky enough to try the Shampoo and Body Wash and the Face and Body Moisturizer. I love the smell of the Shampoo and Body Wash!! It smells just like an Orange Creamsicle. The fact that they are combined is great too. It had a good lather to it and rinsed clean. It left Princess P squeaky clean as well as smelling great! P has sensitive skin so we have to be careful on the products we use, especially lotions. Sometimes she even develops a bumpy, red rash. But when we tried the Face and Body Moisturizer on her, her skin stayed clear. And it is Fragrance-Free which I like. After applying the lotion to her skin my hands, even felt soft. I will definitely have to try this on me!



One Lucky person will win a gift bag that includes: (1) 16oz Shampoo, (1) 4oz PU, (1) 8oz Face & Body Moisturizer, (1) 4 oz Creamy Diaper Cream & (2) Free Organic Sherpa Washcloths in your choice of Lavender Chamomile or Vanilla Tangerine! ($56 value)

To Enter: You Must Visit the Nature's Baby Organics Website and choose a product you would like to try other than the Face and Body Moisturizer and the Shampoo and Body Wash. Come back here and tell us what it is.
Please, Please leave an email address. I have to have a way to contact the winner!
