Laundry Dropps Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
I am all about trying to make our hectic life simpler. If it happens to be better for the environment along the way that is even better. So when I heard about the great products that Dropps had to offer I knew I had to try them!

Believe it or not the Dropps journey began in the 80's. With chunky sweaters all the rage washing them became a hassle. They would get stretched out and turn colors because of the harsh detergents everyone used. So the wonderful people at Dropps removed the enzymes from the detergent and the end result was clothes that looked more vibrant and kept their shape. But wait it gets even better, they made their detergent convenient too! By putting it in tiny dissolvable pacs they were not only making laundry convenient for everyone, especially moms, but they were cutting down on packaging and waste making it even better for the environment.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Laundry Dropps in the fresh scent and the scent and dye free. As soon as I saw them I thought to myself there was no way that this tiny thing was going to wash an entire load of laundry. I tossed one of the scent and dye free pacs into the washing machine as it filled with water and I watched it start to dissolve then I piled Princess P's clothes on top of it. When the I pulled the clothes out of the dryer I was pleasantly surprised to find them completely clean and soft! Ok, so they passed the test on the little one's clothes but what about mine and C's? After washing a load of our clothes with the fresh scent Dropps I found them in the same condition as P's, soft and clean with a great smell to boot! I am loving these handy 6x concentrated laundry pacs. They are definitely making our crazy life run a bit smoother.

One lucky person will win a 3 month supply (3-20 load pouches) of Dropps!

Exhausted


That is the only way to put it! Since C has gotten out of the military we took a huge pay cut. So to make up for that I am having to work at my in-laws restaurant. I love working there and I love all of the people that I work with, but I forgot how much hard work it is. When I get off all I want to do is go home and put my feet up. But right now that is not an option. I still have to come home and fix dinner, spend some much deserved time with Princess P, do some unpacking and find time to blog. And to beat it all, we had a yard sale this morning! So if I am not around here much you know why! But this week I have some great reviews and giveaways to post so hang with me until I can get my groove back.

One Step Ahead Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
Now that summer is upon us that means road trips are too. I never realized how much work is involved in taking a baby on trips. I miss the days when C and I could throw our stuff in the car and take off for the weekend. But now I have to think about things like toys, snacks, hand sanitizer, books, juice, sippy cups and the list goes on and on! But One Step Ahead is literally one step ahead in helping me keep things organized.

One Step Ahead was founded by real life parents, Karen and Ian Scott, who wanted the best for their children. After the finding the "perfect" items for their children in catalogs and stores only lead to disappointment when they did not live up to their expectations, Karen and Ian traded their Fortune 500 careers in to pursue their kind of baby company. Three decades later, One Step Ahead is still helping parents navigate the baby market.

To help us get ready for summer trips we were sent the Toys on the Go Backseat Organizer and the NeckSaver from One Step Ahead. The NeckSaver is a versatile head and neck support for babies ages newborn to two years. As soon as I pulled it out I saw that the NeckSaver came in adorable colors, pink and brown. And could not believe how soft it was! After many unsuccessful trips around the block, Princess P finally fell asleep so I could try it out. Getting it around her neck without waking her was the hard part (she kept playing with it while she was awake). I immediately noticed that her head was resting on the sides of the support and not pitched forward like it was before. However, their were some times when her head fell slightly forward. I just gently pushed it back toward the carseat. While we didn't get to use the NeckSaver for long, we were only minutes from the house, I could tell that it is going to be a definite asset in our long road trips.

After (finally!) getting the car detailed C put the Toys on the Go Backseat Organizer in for me as I chased Princess P down the driveway. He said installation was super simple and it was very easy to adjust. With 15 various sized pockets this thing is very useful! We have room to put several of Princess P's books and a couple of diapers in the larger bottom pocket. And I placed a small wipes container in the detachable activity case. Some of the smaller pockets are perfect for holding single use wet wipes, hand sanitizer, and smaller toys. I use the medium pocket, which is great for storing CD's and DVD's, for snacks and a juice box. The expandable mesh pocket is the perfect size for storing P's sippy cup! While Princess P isn't quite big enough to reach it now, she will be able to when she can use it for storing art supplies like coloring books and crayons. The Toys on the Go Backseat Organizer definitely helps keep the clutter down in the backseats!

One lucky person will win their very own Toys On The Go Backseat Organizer!

To Enter: You must visit One Step Ahead and tell me another product, other than the ones reviewed above, that would be beneficial to you and your family this summer.
Please leave an email address. I have to have a way to contact the winner.

Big Blog Birthday Bash Day 9: JVC Everio Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
I wanted camcorder before Princess P was born and after she arrived I wanted one even more. Almost her entire first year of life pasted by without being recorded except on our digital camera. But thank goodness JVC came to our rescue with the Everio GZ-MG630!

The JVC Everio GZ-MG630 is one of the worlds smallest and lightest hard drive cameras. The ultra-compact GZ-MG630 features 60GB HDD for up to 75 hours of recording. It also sports a 40x Dynamic Zoom Lens to achieve incredible zoom magnification without any degradation of optical picture quality. It has a quick restart that allows you to shoot video in about a second and the new stylish color choices allows you to customize the Everio GZ-MG630 to fit your style.

Features:
  • Konica Minolta 35x optical Lens and 800x digital
  • 60 GB Internal Hard Disk Drive
  • 14 hours 20 min recording at the highest quality
  • Micro SD card slot
  • Up to 832 x 624 still resolution size
  • New Laser Touch Operation
  • Auto Illumi.Light
  • 2.7” 16:9 Widescreen Clear LCD
  • Data Battery
  • Auto Power ON/Off & Auto Lens Cover
  • Convenient 2-Way Strap
  • Remote Control
  • One Touch Export
  • One Touch Upload to You Tube
  • One-Touch DVD Creation
  • Easy File Management
  • Easy Playback
The Everio GZ-MG630 allows you to change from camcorder to camera with a switch of a button. It allows you to snap up to 9999 still photos at a very high quality. The snapshot mode even lets you set a self-timer to capture those all important family photos.


One of the really cool features of the GZ-MG630 is the laser touch operation. Located on the side of the viewing screen the laser touch operation lets you select options by sliding your finger up and down the laser strip. Once the option you need is highlighted simply hit the ok button to proceed. The Everio GZ-MG630 also comes with a remote control to choose your options at a distant.


The Everio makes uploading videos a breeze! Especially when you upload your videos into YouTube. After the software (which is included) is installed simply press the upload button until the process is complete. There you can edit you movies and export them into iTunes if you wish. The File Management System allows you to easily keep your movies organized in the calendar type graphical interface that displays thumbnail images of your recorded videos and stills photographs, superimposed on the date they were taken.

There are simply too many wonderful features of the JVC Everio GZ-MG630 to list! This is a very handy camcorder and camera to have since it is all in one. You don't have to worry about lugging both around in you already crowded diaper bag.

Here is a short clip of Princess P's first birthday party taken with the JVC Everio GZ-MG630 and loaded straight into YouTube.
(Notice how she didn't stick her hands in the cake and get all messy! She was making mommy's clean up job easy!)




In honor of Princess P's first birthday and the Big Blog Birthday Bash JVC is giving one of my lucky readers a JVC Everio GZ-MG630 in their choice of color - DIAMOND Silver, SAPPHIRE Blue, or RUBY Red ($429.95 Value)!!!

Big Blog Birthday Bash Review: Apple & Eve

Princess P is now a juice drinking machine! She gets up of the morning has a glass of milk then a glass of juice and then a glass of water. And for the rest of the day the pattern continues milk, juice, water, juice... So it was very important to me to find a juice that is low in sugar, all natural, and contains vitamins and minerals. So I was thrilled to find Fruitables from Apple & Eve because it met all of my requirements and then some!

Fruitables is not your ordinary juice. It is special because it combines juice and vegetables. That way your kids get the great taste of fruit juice and the benefits of vegetables. Fruitables juice boxes are super convent for on-the-go and each box contains a full serving of juice AND vegetables! Not to mention each box also contains 1/3 less sugar than other brands and are only 70 calories.

Princess P got to try each flavor of the Fruitables, Strawberry Kiwi, Berry Berry and Tropical Orange. I even got curious and tasted them and was surprised at how great the flavors actually were! You can't taste the vegetables in them at all. I think Princess P's favorite is the Tropical Orange. This is such a great way to get your child to eat their vegetables without them even knowing!

A big thank you to Apple & Eve for this review opportunity!

Big Blog Birthday Bash Day 8: Snapfish Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
I just looked back at a picture and thought "I don't remember her being that tiny." A little bit of sadness started to come over me and then I saw her wobble around the corner with the biggest smile on her face. If only I had my camera in hand to capture that moment.

Pictures are the only way to relive memories that we never want to forget. Like the picture of C carrying our precious cargo into our house for the first time. Or the look (and screams) on her face as she took her first bath at home. Or the first time she ate solid foods, drank juice from a bottle and tried to bite pieces off of her teething biscuit (which she did accomplish). The first time she crawled. The first steps she took. So many memories to capture in such a short year!



Snapfish has created so many ways to help us relive those moments everyday. From the time you wake up and have your morning coffee out of your Collage Mug to when you lay your head down at night on your Personalized Pillow Case your memories are there.







Snapfish helped me celebrate Princess P's first year of life with a You Color My Day Photo Book (which benefits women's cancer awareness!). Nestled in each page of this (21 page) book was a professionally printed picture of Princess P. Each time I turned a page I was instantly transported back to that time and place. This photo book is the perfect size to pack into the diaper bag so you can share it with friends and family. Creating the You Color My Day Photo Book is a breeze! If you don't have an account with Snapfish you will have to sign up. (And currently Snapfish is offering new customers 50 free prints!) You then upload the photos you would like to include into the photo book and arrange them into the places and pages you would like. And then voila! you have created your very own book of memories.

In honor of Princess P's Birthday and the Big Blog Birthday Bash Snapfish is offering 2 of my readers a print certificate for 50 free prints!

To Enter: You must visit the Snapfish Store and tell me one item you would like to have.

Big Blog Birthday Bash Day 7: Three Peas Co. Review & Giveaway

*This Giveaway is now closed.*
What would a Princess be without her tutu? And what would a Princess do if she didn't have a tutu for her princess/cupcake themed first birthday party? Her mom would turn to Three Peas Co. to make her magical day complete!

Originally founded by two stay at home fashionista moms, Three Peas Co. is dedicated to creating high quality apparel to compliment your lifestyle. One of the moms, Antoinette Newhouse, enjoys spending every day in her designing adventure and spending time with her three peas. You can find everything from Pettiskirts to Leggings and even boys items at Three Peas Co.


Antoinette outfitted Princess P for her party with not one, but two tutus! One in pink and one in purple. As soon as I pulled the tutus out of the package I could tell that there was not a lack of tulle! Each hand tied tutu is loaded with colorful tulle and complemented by a grosgrain ribbon. Since they arrived in a small package I thought the would stay wrinkled for awhile. But as soon as I pulled them out and laid them on the table the wrinkles fell right out. I immediately tied one around Princess P and she ran off pulling at the pieces of tulle as if she was saying "look at me!" The hand tied tutu fit P perfectly because of the adjustable waist and it will for a long time. She surprisingly kept the tutu on for quite awhile, sometimes stopping to play with it along the way. The Three Peas Co. tutu was definitely a hit at Princess P's party with everyone oohing and awwing as we sang happy birthday to the little princess.

In honor of Princess P's first birthday and the Big Blog Birthday Bash Three Peas Co. is offering one of my readers a tutu in their choice of color!

To Enter: You must visit Three Peas Co. and tell me another item you love!

Big Blog Birthday Bash Day 6: Cool Party Favors Review & Giveaway

*This Giveaway Is Now Closed.*
Sure it is easy to figure out what to give as favors at a childs birthday party that is attended by mostly kids. But what do you give at a childs birthday party that is attended by mostly adults? Either way, if you are looking for birthday favors Cool Party Favors is the place to look.

After a conversation with an experienced catering manager of an upscale hotel about the countless party favors left behind, Joyce Kreger decided to start Cool Party Favors. After the catering manager advised them to carry favors that appeal to both men and women Joyce decided to approach a variety of "undiscovered" vendors. Cool Party Favors now carries a wide variety of original favors from a ceramic tile artist, master gardeners, a baker and many more.

What would a cupcake/first birthday party be without cupcake/first birthday party favors!? Easy enough if they are favors for children but what about the adults? Thank goodness Cool Party Favors came to my rescue with the Plantable Birthday Cupcake Party Favors! These neat cupcake shapes contain a blend of annual and perennial wildflower seeds that will grow when planted. The best part is you can personalize the cards to say what ever you want! The cupcakes even come in a variety of colors to match the celebration. These favors are perfect for us because we can plant them watch them grow as Princess P grows! I already have my eye on the Birthday Cookie Favors for next years party.

In honor of Princess P's first birthday and the Big Blog Birthday Bash Cool Party Favors is giving one of my lucky readers a set of 20 Plantable Cupcake Party Favors Personalized the way you want them!

To Enter: You must visit Cool Party Favors and tell me another thing you love besides the Plantable Cupcake favors.

Big Blog Birthday Bash Day 5: Izzy B Designs Review & Giveaway


*This giveaway is now closed.*
I am a sucker for handmade childrens items. Especially custom made items for Princess P. So when I found Izzy B Designs I was in baby clothes heaven!

Izzy B Designs was started in 2006 by owner Jerica Rossi. Inspired by her two daughters, Isabella and Elizabeth, Izzy B Designs is a online boutique that specializes in custom made clothing for children. At Izzy B Designs you can find custom made Birthday Clothing, Boys Jon Jons, and even Monogrammed Beach Towels and Flip-Flops!


Princess P was the lucky recipient of a monogrammed Retro Flowers Pillowcase Dress. I absolutely love this dress! The quality is great and so is the fit. Whenever she wears the Retro Flowers Pillowcase Dress she gets so many compliments. Especially because it has her initial on it and the font is adorable. It launders beautifully you just have to make sure you have the ribbons tied so they don't slip out. Princess P really likes this dress too! The only problem is that she knows how to untie the ribbons so we have to keep an eye on her or she will be running around naked! Izzy B Designs has so many different choices. I could spend some serious money there!

You can take 10% off your purchase at Izzy B Designs with the coupon code COUPON10!!


In honor of Princess P's first birthday and the Big Blog Birthday Bash Izzy B Designs is giving one of my readers their choice of one of the Monogrammed Pillowcase Dresses pictured above! (Choices: Minnie Mouse Silouette Pillowcase Dress, Sorbet Disco Dots Pillowcase Dress, or the Minnie Mouse Girl Pillowcase Dress all up to size 5T!)

To Enter: You must visit Izzy B Designs and tell me another product you would love to have for your little one and the dress you would choose if you won.

Big Blog Birthday Bash Day 4: Diva Entertains Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
With the theme of Princess P's party, cupcakes, chosen it was time to find decorations that were fun and stood out. When Diva Entertains was brought to my attention I instantly fell in love with the Cupcake Place Card Holders.

After 20 years of corporate life founder Debra Rosenberg decided it was time to do something she truly enjoyed. Cooking or entertaining. Although Debra enjoyed cooking for family and friends, her true passion was setting a beautiful table and sending family and friends home with treats. And with that Diva Entertains was born. Diva Entertains helps make your celebrations more memorable with many of their favors handcrafted by artists. You can find everything from Girls Night Out Favors to Edible Favors at Diva Entertains.


I was delighted when I opened the box and saw these tiny handcrafted treats. As I pulled them out of the bubble wrap I couldn't believe how real they looked! Each Cupcake Place Card Holder is the perfect size for a picture of Princess P. These Cupcake Place Card Holders were a hit with my family and I am sure they will be with yours too!

In honor of Princess P's first birthday and the Big Blog Birthday Bash Diva Entertains is giving one of my lucky readers a set of 20 Small Cupcake Place Card Holders like the one's pictured above ($90 Value)!

Big Blog Birthday Bash Day 3: Pink Poodle Boutique Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
While browsing through ideas for table decorations for Princess P's party I happen to come across The Pink Poodle Boutique and their Personalized Photo Confetti. I thought that it was such a neat idea and it would be a perfect addition to Princess P's first birthday party.

The Pink Poodle Boutique offers tutus, hair clips, tiaras and dress up clothing along with many other items perfect for your little princess. I am definitely loving the White Marabou Halo and the Small White Fairy Wings. Upcoming Halloween costume, maybe?


I was absolutely thrilled when Christian from The Pink Poodle Boutique offered a bag of Personalized Photo Confetti for Princess P's party! First I got to choose the shapes of the confetti, then I moved on to the messages (up to 4) on the confetti pieces. Font and font color came next along with the colors of the confetti pieces, Fuchsia, Pastel Purple, and Pink. Then it was time to pick the photos I wanted on the confetti. I chose 4 photos ranging from when P was first born up until a couple of weeks ago. Kind of like a mini time line. Did I mention that this Personalized Photo Confetti is super personalized!? When the confetti arrived I could not believe how great it turned out! Each picture of P's face was simply adorable along with the messages and colors. This was a definite hit with friends and family members. With the confetti you have so many options. You can sprinkle it on the tables or put it in thank you cards. I am even saving some of the Personalized Photo Confetti to put in P's scrapbook.

In honor of Princess P's first birthday and the Big Blog Birthday Bash The Pink Poodle Boutique is offering one of my readers a bag of Personalized Photo Confetti!

Big Blog Birthday Bash Day 2 : Beau-Coup Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
Beau-Coup, most commonly known as the French phrase merci beaucoup (thank you very much), signifies "a great abundance". At Beau-Coup you can find everything from wedding favors to sweet sixteen favors. They are your one stop shop for "fine favors and stylish giving".

Beau-Coup Wedding Favors originated from the founders own experience as bride and groom-to-be. "We wanted our guest favor to be something unique, something that reflected our personal style. Like most couples, we pored over stacks of bridal magazines, surfed the major wedding websites, and visited numerous bridal shops. To our dismay, we seemed to come across the same set of products from vendor to vendor. We eventually decided to give our guests personalized golf balls (we love golf!)" After their own ordeal they decided to open Beau-Coup to make other couples experience less stressful.

Beau-Coup offers a wide variety of items including Bridal Shower Favors, Birthday Party Favors and Baby Shower Favors just to name a few. You can sort by occasion, theme, season or even packaging. Beau-Coup even offers Bridesmaid and Groomsmen gifts! I just wish I had found their decorations section sooner. I would have loved to have the Round Paper Lanterns at Princess P's birthday party!


In honor of Princess P's first birthday and the Big Blog Birthday Bash Beau-Coup has offered a $25 Gift Card to one of my readers!

To Enter: You must visit Beau-Coup and tell me what you would use the $25 Gift Card on if you are the lucky winner!

Big Blog Birthday Bash Day 1: Tiny Prints Review and Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed.*
To me birthday invitations are important. Not only do they tell you when and where the party will be but they also set the tone for the celebration. So when it was time to pick out the invitations for Princess P's party I already knew where I wanted them from. Tiny Prints!

Tiny Prints was born in the spring of 2004 when three friends with a love of babies and appreciation for giving and receiving good paper came together. Tiny Prints only uses the highest quality stationary from top designers to make your personalized card that much more special. At Tiny Prints you can find Wedding Invitations, Birth Announcements, Holiday Cards and many more.

I thought the hard part was over when I decided on the company for Princess P's invitations, but boy was I wrong! Deciding on which card design from Tiny Prints was the hard part. I finally narrowed it down to what fit P's party theme the best, the Number Candle Birthday Invitation from DwellStudio. Not only was the cupcake a perfect match, so were the colors. After finding the perfect match it was time to personalize it. I entered all the information editing the card the way I wanted it and then uploaded the perfect picture. After authorizing that the card was the way I wanted it to look I was finished. I was surprised at how fast the invitations got here. And I was even more surprised at how well they turned out! The picture and the colors are great. You can definitely tell that it is a high quality card. The invitations were sent out well over a month ago and we are still getting compliments on them!
