Giveaway: Baby Legs

Labor Day Weekend is now behind us, the kiddos are back in school.....mornings have a bit of bite in the air....and it's seems to me to be the perfect time to think about....

Leg Warmers.....what?

Leg Warmers are SO not just for 6 year old ballerinas....or wanna be Olivia Newton John Circa 1982....oh no, leg warmers and especially Baby Legs...are a total MUST have item for your baby or tot.

heck, if they made super cute matching mommy legs, you might actually see me sporting some while in line at the Grocery Store, or chilling at Story Time at the Library....I mean come on....Stylish and Functional?

I ADORE my BabyLegs......and I only wish I had bought 50 pair plus stock in the company when Noah was born.

Soft, cute, practical....reminds me somewhat of my Hubs....maybe that's why I love them so much....

I get all excited knowing that I won't have to pull down pants when changing Buggies Diaper....plus...his chubby little legs just look so darn cute in his blue and orange stripes....

Noah too looks pretty freaking cute sporting his cool kid legs....the perfect thing to wear while running around the front yard in his red boxer briefs....

Now not only do BabyLegs make those to die for Leg warmers for Girls and Boys of almost every size....but they also make fun, funky and totally baby-licious socks and tights for wee ones too. Noah is one of those funny kids that hates the ridges at the toes of his socks.....you know the one....

I bet you have one at your house too....

these socks are magic....I actually kissed them....really...

I did....

you know you'd do it too.....

WIN IT

I am so very excited that BabyLegs is offering

one very lucky reader a Grab Bag of leg warmers!

Boy, Girl or Gender Neutral.

Giveaway: Boon's Grass Countertop Drying Rack (closed)

There are things that I conviently have forgotten about since the toddler transitioned from bottles to sippy cups....things, that I suddenly am remembering now that I am washing, drying and sterilizing baby bottles again....

what a pain in the tush it can be....

The Husband and I are big on the Dr. Brown's Bottles....which I love, except for trying to wash and dry all those parts that come with them....when Noah was a baby, I did the towel on the counter bit, which not only looked kind of tacky when having people over, but it also ended up taking up counter space that I could be using to mess more dishes up with....plus, inevitably the towel gets wet, and gross...and I think you get my drift.

Oh, how I love progress. Some Genius over at Boon Inc., must have heard the plight of millions of moms who were tired of the towel dry method with their bottles....and came up with...

insert angelic singing here...

The Boon Grass Countertop Drying Rack. It is the answer to my bottle washing prayers. Modern and Stylish, the grass doesn't take up tons of counterspace, and is designed to accomodate not only all those crazy Dr. Brown Bottle parts, but also allows me to stick Toddler Spoons, sippy cup lids and even pacifiers on it's sassy green blades.

The design is fantastic. The two part system allows water to drain into the bottom tray so that the utensils have the ability to air dry completely. No sitting on damp towels, and keeps countertops clean and dry.

The Grass Countertop Drying Rack is BPA, PVC and Phthalate Free which makes it baby and environmentally friendly, and it is super easy to clean, with both parts dishwasher safe.

Fashionable and Functional, I've been so pleased with using my Grass Drying Rack, that I'm putting it at the top of my list of gifts to give for expecting mommies.

WIN IT

I'm super excited to giveaway to one reader their very own

Beautiful Creatures CD { Review and Giveaway}

As a mom of a toddler....I'm learning that to find music that we both don't mind listening to in the car can be...shall we say somewhat of a challenge. I'm not really one that enjoys listening to the cute, but somewhat tone deaf Elmo belt out Tony Bennett Tunes.....and I'm also not the type of mom that wants my son to recite the words to Bad Romance.......

Where does that leave me? Besides resorting to subjecting my children to my own very bad singing....I'm blessed to have found a fun, kid friendly but mom approved album called Beautiful Creatures.

Beautiful Creatures was formed in South Africa in 2004, to help fill a need for fun and educational childrens music that was also "parent friendly" Since it's inception, Beautiful Creatures has become a HUGE household name in South Africa with CD's, clothing, toys and a TV show in the works....now they have crossed the pond and American Parents are seeing what has made it such a major hit back at home.....

Noah was a sucker for the catchy beats...and would routinely find him trying out some new dance move to "Imvubu The Happiest Hippo".....I not only find the tunes catchy, but I also am found of the global and enviromental messages that the songs are about.....

I was super excited to see that Beautiful Creatures is Available on iTunes, so I was able to download the album to the iPod. Now we can jam out to "Lorenzo the Luckiest Lizard" while on our daily walks....

Check Beautiful Creatures out for yourself on iTunes or their Website. They are also available on Facebook and Twitter.

WIN IT

One Lucky Winner will Receive a Copy of the Beautiful Creatures CD!

Sweetsation Therapy {Review and Giveaway}

You know that feeling when you find that "IT" product....the same sort of feeling as if you've had your first taste of the most AMAZING Chocolate, Macadamia Nut, Fudge Ripple Ice-cream (that just also happens to be fat free). Well, I have to say I so got that feeling when I first tried The Chamomile Milk Bath Soaking Essence from Sweetsation Therapy.

I first tried the Milk Bath Soak when Noah was having the Diaper Rash from Hell due to Teething, and it is amazing! I Even love it for me, for those not-so-fabulous skin irratations that happen during pregnancy.

Natalja Millsap is the AMAZING woman behind Sweetsation Therapy, who wanted to create a skincare line that a both an expecting mother and baby could use that was organic, natural and non harmful to body and skin.

I Also adore the Ellasti*Belly Organic Stretch Mark Miracle Oil, which is Crazy Good and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy. Then, the Chub Stick Diaper Ointment is a must have for any new mommy! A natural way to calm diaper rashes....placed in a no mess stick form (keeps your hands nice and clean)!

Sweetsation is also amazing in their efforts to be a Green Company with their Recycle and Be Rewarded Program. Their Packaging is 100% recyclable, and when you collect 5 full size product containers and send them back to Sweetsation, you will receive a FREE product of your choice up to $20!

A Fabulous company that nurtures you as well as the environment!

Project Mommyhood Pick: Dogeared - The Grown Up Friendship Bracelet

I so remember sitting in my 6th grade English Class painstakingly making another friendship bracelet to swap with a buddy at the lunch table that day...Now that I'm a 30 something Mommy...who knew I could relive that fun, funky and youthful fashion trend....

How flipping cute are these Friendship Bracelets by Dogeared? A totally Grown-up Version of those we made back in the day! They come in a variety of Colors and Styles...as unique as you and your friends. I also LOVE how great they look paired with Dogeared's Kitchen Sink Bracelets. Gemstones and Irish linen mix to create a Sassy Boho style...with modern twist.

Check out All of Dogeared's Hip, West Coast styled Necklaces, Bracelets, Earrings and bags on their Website, or find many of their styles at retailers such as Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus.

Project Mommyhood Pick: Handmade Jig

Who knew Onesies (the staple of baby shower) could get a hip, fresh makeover? Since finding out about my second pregnancy, I've been drooling over the fabulous customized onesie sets from etsy-seller, Handmade Jig. The My Kind of Town Set, ($35) features 3 prints from your fave city of choice. A great gift for those little urban tots....or for a future globe trotter...

Choose from cities like New York, Seattle, Dallas, London, and L.A....and your set comes ready to gift in a fabulous wooden box, grosgrain ribbon and gift tag. You choose design, size (0-18 month) and onesie colors.

If the urban thing isn't for you, Handmade Jig offers other fantastic sets, including monsters, states, zoo animals and ABC's.....or for $75 go for the 7 onesie Day of the Week Set.

It's so awesome when Fashion and Functionality Unite!

Baby Cribs Plus...Giveaway Coming Soon

The definition of insanity: Scouring 100's of websites for all the different baby and toddler items you are looking for.

Between Shopping for Baby Showers, trying to get Noah's BIG boy room decorated, and getting the nursery baby ready, I've set the web on fire with my searches.

Luckily I found Baby Cribs Plus where I've been finding everything I've been looking for in one spot! From Baby Cribs and Bedding, to Strollers, Toddler toys and safety products.

They have tons of MUST HAVE products, with many fabulous finds being priced under $50. I Adore Trend Lab's Vintage 2 Picture Frame Set for $23, and I'm drooling over this Skip Hop Saddlebag Diaper Bag in Uptown Stripe ($28).

Just think of the possibilities! ......Even a Chance to Win! Stay Tuned, for there will be a chance to win one of my favorite items from http://www.babycribsplus.com/

Eleven Collection: Totally Tot Style { Review and Giveaway } (Giveaway CLOSED)

Being a Self Proclaimed "Sassy Mama"...I am constantly on the hunt for Fabulous, Functional and Fashionable items for not only myself...but for the wee sproutlet as well. The Boy has got to look ultra cool while digging in dirt, or hanging at the jungle gym.

When it comes to dapper duds, it's not that hard for me to find well priced, well made clothing that looks fashion forward....and just plain "cool". Shoes on the otherhand, can tend to be more of a problem, due to Noah being born with a club foot. His right foot, though straight and beatiful, is turning out to be a little fatter than his left....let me just tell you many shoes so don't make the cut!

Eleven Collection is one of the first Children's Shoe Companies that has given me the style, comfort and fit that will allow my little man to look cool and be healthy all at the same time!

I absolutely love that they need minimal care, and are naturally water-resistant (which we found out the hard way last week) Noah is a rootin-tootin running machine in his Snazzy Capers!

They have amazingly flexible soles for all that running and playing, easy velcro closures for easy on and off, soft leather, cushioned insoles and larger toe boxes which allow for a fabulous fit. PLUS they are SO fashion forward and stylish! Right up my alley!

BUY IT: You can head on over to Eleven Collection and check out all of the Fabulous and Fashionable shoes they have in their new Spring Collection. Their Shoes run sizes 9-3 (ages 3-8) and are priced between $40 and $50/

OR

WIN IT: a pair of your own! How Exciting is that?
