Wee Gallery ~Black & White Art Cards for Baby ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/12

From the first day of life, studies show that baby can see high contrast patterns. Until they are about six months of age, it will see best in high contrast - black, white and red being the best colors.

Wee Gallery prints come from hand painted originals that take advantage of the visual strengths of a baby. Whimsical animals made up of black and white repeating shapes that entertain & engage. These beautifully printed cards are sturdy board book material, with rounded corners. Made to stand up to baby's explorations :)

You can wipe down the cards and box periodically with a damp cloth or baby wipe to keep them clean.

My Capri's favorite high contrast is the moon in the night sky. I found that out when taking her out one night. She wouldn't take her eyes off the moon! Since we can't take the moon with us when we go inside, the Wee Gallery cards are perfect. I like to keep them in her bag for car rides and waits. She really appreciates them.

These cards are designed to develop baby's vision and brain.

BUY IT:

You can purchase Wee Gallery Black & White Art Cards for Baby online at http://www.weegallery.com/

WIN IT!!!

One lucky winner will receive a box of  Wee Gallery Black & White Art Cards for Baby  - Woodland Collection

Sahale Snacks ~ Available @ Seattle’s Best Coffee ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/11

I love Sahale Snacks!

Drenched in rich , spicy goodness, Sahale has a blend to suit every taste - making nuts a special occasion.

 Sahale Snacks are now available at Seattle’s Best Coffee. Last week, Valdosta and Sing Buri nut blends debuted at Seattle's Best Coffee counters in convenient 2-ounce pouches -- enough to share with a friend over coffee or to satisfy a morning and an afternoon snack craving.   

Sahale Snacks' rich and peppery Valdosta Pecans pair especially well with Seattle’s Best Coffee winter beverages, like Vanilla Cinnamon Latte. The spicy and exotic Sing Buri Cashews make a lively accompaniment to tea, espresso, and brewed coffee drinks.

Sing Buri is my favorite blend - Cashews with Pineapple, Peanuts, Lemongrass + Mild Chinese Chili

Lemongrass, Soy glazed Cashews, Pineapple, Peanuts, and Sesame seeds lightly dusted with mild Chinese chili  -reminiscent of a great Thai dish. Mmmm - I wish I had some right now!

BUY IT:

You can purchase Sahale Snacks in many local retailers, or online @ http://sahalesnacks.com/ or at Amazon

WIN IT!!!

One lucky winner will receive two full size bags of Sahale Snacks in Valdosta & Sing Buri !

EcoMom ~ SmaryPants Vitamins Review ~ $15 Gift Certificate ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/10

I'm a label reader - you probably don't want to go to the store with me- well, not if you're in a hurry anyway! I'm looking for healthy ingredients, lack of bad ones, and checking on the gluten status. Smarty Pants Gummy Vitamins has a pretty great label. An All-In-One multi that contains an eco-friendly sourced DHA Omega 3's.

Let me lay it out for you so you can see the label like I see it :

*contains  eco- friendly DHA Omega 3's  - sourced from small fish ( anchovy & sardine) = the smaller the fish the less the chance of mercury

* Is GMP certified = Good Manufacturing Practice , which assures purity and potency in nutritional supplements

* Gluten & Casein free

* No High Fructose Corn Syrup

* Natural flavor & colors - which means no bad for you food coloring - colored with naturals like black carrot, annatto, and turmeric

My favorite part of this vitamin formula, is that the vitamin B12 is in it's best form - methylcobalamin. The most commonly used form of B12 is the synthetic form cyanocobalamin. In the body it is converted to the physiological forms, methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, leaving behind cyanide, although in minimal concentration. Regardless of how much it leaves, I DON'T want to ingest ANY cyanide - do you? This is one thing I always look for in a vitamin. I'm so excited that Smarty Pants contains the non toxic form!!! Most seemingly high quality vitamins contain the bad form - I'm so impressed!

And the flavor - yum. Could be a candy. Kids love em - heck, I love them! Sweetened with organic cane sugar :)

So in my opinion Smarty Pants is a very good all-in-one multi for your little ones. I mean very good.

Where can you get Smarty Pants Gummy Vitamins? I got mine at EcoMom & you can too! Eco-friendly Baby Products - EcoMom.

EcoMom offers the best in healthy products for your family. Products for Mom & Baby, Feeding & Nursing, Bath & Body, Health & Wellness they also offer Organic Food, Toys & Books, and Green Gifts.

The Diaper Wagon ~ Bottombumpers ~ Cloth Diaper ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/7

I love Bottombumpers - To me, probably the best newborn diaper out there. It's a sized diaper with a trim fit and has been PERFECT for little Capri. I haven't experienced it with older babies, but honestly a fabulous diaper.

Bottombumpers come in aplix or snap and have a snap in, doubled over soaker made of thick cotton, topped with bamboo velour. Very absorbent, and leak free. I even use them as nightime and going out diapers. You might expect a long drying time for such absorbency - not the case, the soaker might take a little longer to dry than the shell, but not much.

My favorite features are the trim fit and comfort. Not bulky underclothes and never leaves red marks on baby.

Cons - I can't think of any. I give Bottombumpers a thumbs up, 5 star rating.

And a BIG thank you to The Diaper Wagon for sponsoring this review & giveaway.

Communication was always prompt & through and we had lots of communication in getting this review set up. Thank you to Anne for the great customer service :)

At the Diaper Wagon, you'll find all sorts of cloth, wool , covers, training pants, swim diapers , laundry care, natural baby & mama products. They've got it all - even the New AIO Bottombumpers!!

The best part? FREE shipping on all orders within the US & FREE shipping on all orders of $65 + to Canada!! That rocks - no body likes to get to checkout to find the mystery shipping costs. I processed an order the other day and shipping was nearly the cost of the product I was ordering - needless to say I canceled and found a site that offers free shipping. It matters!

This has been a great experience working with The Diaper Wagon - Thank You!

Tillamook Cheese ~ Baby Loaf Box ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/06

We all love cheese don't we?

I'm on a big fruit kick right now, and sometimes that is all I eat until dinner time. If I feel like I want something savory, I add some cheese to my fruit and feel satisfied. Tillamook is a favorite .

I like the medium cheddar - it's smooth and has a slightly nutty flavor. You can tell by the flavor it's high quality cheese.

Tillamook's dairy cows are not treated with growth hormones which is very important to me.

They take an artisan approach with their cheeses - allowing it to naturally age for more than 60 days.

Tillamook was awarded the World's Best Medium Cheddar in the 2010 World Championship Cheese Contest - that explains why it's my favorite!

BUY IT:

You can purchase Tillamook online or check here to where you can purchase it in your state

WIN IT!!!

One lucky winner will receive a Baby Loaf Box which includes a cheese slicer, a heart-shaped sandwich cutter and coupons for free Tillamook cheeses

Organic Sleepy Wrap ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/5

I'm typing with two hands right now :)) That's because my little Capri is wrapped up and sleeping in her sleepy wrap.

When I first heard of the Sleepy Wrap, I didn't make the connection - I thought it was simply the name. No, it actually puts them to sleep. At least that has been my experience. It makes total sense - being wrapped nice and tight, close to mommy, warm and snug. It probably resembles the womb.

I was very intimidated by this wrap initially. It is a very long band of stretchy fabric. Even after reading all the very clear instructions, I still felt lost. All I had to do is watch it being done on Youtube and all the written instructions made sense.

It looks so simple now! One thing I haven't mastered yet is nursing in the sleepy wrap. Working on it though.

Having my hands free is wonderful and the Sleepy Wrap allows to be. Just a little support when I bend and such. Today I hung sheets on the line, paired socks, swept the living room, and did dishes all while Capri was in her wrap asleep.

Besides which, what could feel better than being held snug close to Mommy's heart.

CARRIED BABIES...

•Cry Less! (43% less overall and 54% less during the evening hours)1
•Are Healthier! (gain weight faster, have better motor skills, coordination, increased muscle tone, and sense of balance)
•Get a better view of the world! (babies pushed in strollers or lugged around in car seats only get to see the adult world at knee-level)
•Become Independent Faster! (making them more confident and less clingy)3
•Sleep Better! (they fall asleep quicker and sleep for longer periods of time)
•Learn More! (not overstimulated, but calm and alert, observing the world around them)
•And are just plain Happier!


Care is super simple - Machine wash cold with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low.

I love our Sleepy Wrap and we're just getting started!

BUY IT:

You can purchase your own Sleepy Wrap online @ https://www.sleepywrap.com/

WIN IT!!!

Flexaway System ~ Facial Exerciser ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 9/31

The Flexaway System - it looks scary, but really, it's not that bad!

I received the kit in the mail - it included an assembled Flexaway mouth piece, a carrying case , a 6 month supply of bands, lubricant, and instructions. I wanted to get started right away. I brushed it clean with my toothbrush and toothpaste and per the instructions, I did it in the mirror the first time to make sure placement was right.

It was really easy after the first time. You just stretch the band apart by the side buttons, position the plate in your mouth so that you catch the bumps on the front behind your front teeth like shown in the picture above, then is time for the workout - pull the buttons together with your mouth muscles - your lips will form an "O" shape as if you were blowing out a candle.

The instructions recommend reps of 30-40, twice a day for beginners.

Oh I forgot about the lubricant. It's a lip balm that helps with comfort while flexing your mouth.

I love this thing. I slap it in at random times of the day. While folding laundry, or writing a post ... hold on I'll brb I'm going to get it now. Why not - you just do it whenever you think of it.

As far as results, I have seen a bit of chisel in the cheeks, but the main thing I notice is it is great for your complexion! I think just getting the circulation going in your face does wonders! I have been using it for a month and I think I'll keep going. It can't hurt!

Flexaway touts results Results for your ENTIRE Neck, Face, Eyes, Cheeks, Mouth, Chin, and Jowls.

BUY IT:

You can purchase a kit online @ http://www.flexawaysystem.com/ - buy one at the regular price, get a second for only $10!

WIN IT!!!

CuZn ~ Turbo Shower ~ Shower Filter ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 9/26

Did you know you absorb more chlorine through your skin while you shower than you do by drinking the same water? The warm water of the shower opens your pores, and you literally absorb it like a sponge.

Chlorine is chemical that attacks organic matter - it kills bacteria which is why it is added to our water in the first place. Chlorine also bonds with the protein in our bodies. It is harmful to our hair, skin, eyes, nasal & oral membranes via our showers. So why would we want to bathe in the stuff?

Not only unhealthy, but if you have chemically treated hair, the chlorine dries it out further and all you want is to moisturize. Colored hair is the same thing and it will strip your hair color as well.

Turbo Shower removes chlorine from shower water instantly and softens the water as it dechlorinates up to 20,000 gallons or a year, whichever comes first. There is no maintenance and no backwashing, and the filters are replaceable.

I know the difference I felt in my hair after only a few showers using the Turbo Shower. My water felt softer - my body wash was more sudsy, my skin felt almost moisturized compared to showers before the Turbo Shower.

It makes me feel so good knowing that my kids are taking baths and showers sans the chlorine. I know that their little systems aren't being gunked up and that it is one more healthy step for them.

Features:

• Includes hex wrench for quick and easy filter change.
• The New, Patented FilterFoam PowerDisk Non-Carbon Based Filtration Media That's Non-Toxic and Recyclable.
• Removes both free and combined chlorine's
• Compact Design
• Easy to Install, Easy to Open
• Easy to Change, Easy to Refill
• Fits any standard thread Showerhead
• Lifetime Warranty on Housing
• Works with your own shower head
  

I can't recommend the Turbo Shower enough - think of it as a beauty & health treatment rolled into one!

They even sell the CuZn Bath Ball & Turbo Shower at Mighty Nest, which is an awesome place to find natural products for a healthy home.

BUY IT:

You can purchase Turbo Shower online at http://www.cuzn.com or at Mighty Nest

WIN IT!!!

One lucky winner will receive the CuZn Turbo Shower :)

GroVia ~ Hybrid Shell Set/AI2 ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 9/25

I've recently realized that while I used to be obsessed with shoes & bags, my new obsession is cloth diapers. I sit here in flip flops telling you this!

I find cloth diapers totally neat - the colors, shapes, and features. Each brand is different - each having their own design with the focus in different areas. Kinda like pizza each brand is different, they're all good, but you definitely have your favorites!

My main concern at this point is that a diaper is made with natural materials & that it is comfortable for my baby. Of course performance is important - leaks aren't good.

The GroVia Hybrid is a AI2 composed of a shell & soaker pad. It is a super diaper and one I consistently reach for.



First is the design - it's made to minimize diaper waste and cost - When your soaker pad is wet, simply snap in a fresh soaker pad.

Within the design there are innovative features -

the leg gussets - fit snug but comfortably to baby's legs, holding in any wet or dirty that may be wanting out. I love this feature true gussets that have never left red rings on my baby's sensitive legs.

waterproof backed soaker - allowing no leaking, while never touching baby's skin. The part of the soaker that does touch skin, is a wonderful feeling, thick organic cotton.

mesh shell lining - creates airflow so that baby isn't sitting an airtight boggy mess

Every body's favorite! tuck under laundry tabs - keeping the hook & loops from sticking to all the other diapers in washing & drying - preventing pull apart damage. I have even forgotten a few times and the tabs seem to find their way closed without sticking too much - thank you tabs!

Altogether a favorite diaper. Trim fitting on even my newborn, with the ability to grow with her through potty training being a one size. User friendly - just change the soaker pad. Comfy - I could tell before I ever used this diaper that it would be comfortable, it's just well made with nice materials. The soaker is made of organic cotton making it a feel good product.

So basically - you could set up shop with maybe a half a dozen shells, stocking up on soakers and be very happy.

I don't use the word innovative lightly. The GroVia hybrid is like no other diaper I've used and it shows in it's comfort and performance. I love this diaper!



So does Capri!

Thomas & Friends: Misty Island Rescue ~ DVD ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 9/24

A new Search and Rescue Centre is being built on the Island of Sodor as a base of operations for Harold, Rocky, and a new lifeboat named Captain. Special super strong, deep red Jobi wood, from Hiro's homeland, is being used to make the Center. All the engines are very excited and all want to help deliver the Jobi wood to the Rescue Center. Diesel, convinced that he is better than the steamies, decides to take the Jobi wood to the rescue center himself and races down the tracks with the Jobi wood. Thomas sees that Diesel is going too fast and chases after him. The chase results in an exciting rescue as Thomas saves Diesel from falling over a cliff edge but the Jobi wood crashes into the sea below - now there is no wood to build the Rescue Center.

As a reward for his daring rescue Thomas is given the job of collecting new wood from the mainland. He is then told there is no room on the steam boat, but Thomas asks to be carried on a raft behind the boat. Thomas waves goodbye to his friends at Brendham Docks and heads across the sea to the mainland. That night the raft carrying Thomas becomes separated from its tugboat and Thomas ends up alone and stranded on the mysterious Misty Island - a wild and wonderful island with a multitude of secret hide outs, rickety tracks, and bridges. Thomas discovers that the island has its own railway, and meets the three engines, known as the "Logging Locos", who run it - Ferdinand, and two small twin engines named Bash and Dash, who were sent to the island after causing trouble on the mainland. Thomas also finds that Misty Island has plentiful supplies of the rare Jobi wood! With the help of his new friends, Thomas attempts to find his way back to Sodor and uncovers more of Misty Island's mysteries - including a tunnel that connects the two islands! Meanwhile, out at sea, Harold and Captain carry out a search party to look for Thomas.

I haven't gotten to watch this title myself. I normally enjoy watching with ju. Things have been a bit crazy around here lately :) Juju tells me it was a very good movie and that Thomas gets lost & scared by three new engines.

As always, Thomas is a huge favorite in our home & that is good because Thomas shows that being useful is important :)

Remember Thomas & Friends: Misty Island Rescue as the holidays are coming up!

Green Getup ~ Organic T's ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 9/23 ~ 3 Winners!!!

I bet when you think of toxic, harmful to you and the environment chemicals, your closet isn't the first place you think of. Me neither.

The Organic Trade Association says that producing one pair of regular cotton jeans takes three-quarters of a pound of fertilizers and pesticides. Each T-shirt takes one-third of a pound. Now think of how many tee shirts are produced in this counrty every day.

The farming of organic fibers, releases less CO2 into the air and uses 50 percent less energy. Cotton, hemp, bamboo, ramie, linen, and silk can all be grown organically.

Anything in your closet made of nylon, polyester, or acrylic, on the other hand, is bad bad - heavy in CO2-laden petroleum.

Green Getup prints all their shirts using water-based inks and eco-friendly manufacturing methods. Their cotton is certified organic, and dyed using environmentally friendly materials. Typically the screen printing process uses harmful chemicals and toxic PVC based inks. Green Getup does all their screen printing in house so we can assure only the safest manufacturing methods are used. So wear organic and help offset your carbon footprint.

Green Getup offers organic and recycled T's & hoodies for men, women, & children.

I got to try out their products with the Windmill pattern you see above. Cool huh? It's a really good tee - it has that soft vintage feel.

Of course being organic & printed with water based inks makes Green Getup a truly feel good product.

So do good for your world and your health - include organics in not only your diet, but in your wardrobe.

BUY IT:

You can purchase Green Getup online at http://www.greengetup.com/

WIN IT!!!

The Green Getup Team would like to offer three winners - 1 Men's tee, 1 Women's tee, & one child's tee

Doing Laundry

Daddy was home to hold her when I hung sheets on the line.


Just me, her & Ju when I took them off.


I thought for a minute, how am I going to carry in the sheets & Capri?






I quickly realized that laundry baskets filled with sheets are perfect things!

And guess what? She's still in the basket - asleep. So I'm off to see what else I can get done!
