CLOSED - The Soft Landing - Review & Giveaway - Ends 9/15

The past week I received a Nuby Natural Touch sippy cup from The Soft Landing. It is different than any sippy I have ever used with my son because the spout is like a silicone type straw. It was actually pretty funny watching him trying to figure out how to use it. He seems to like it just fine now that he's figured out how it works. It is BPA free and dishwasher safe (which is a must for me!). It has removable handles so if your baby does better without handles you can take them off.

The Soft Landing is offering one of my readers this sippy as well.

It is covered in a sticky paper and tied at the top with 3 different colored ribbons. The black strip at the top of the board is painted. I absolutely love it! Now I just have to find a matching pen. :o)

Sprout Baby - Baby Food Review

I was recently asked by SproutBaby to write a review on their baby food. I was mailed 7 different pouches of the food to feed to my baby and tell you about. My baby ate the food very well, so I am assuming that it tastes good to babies. My little guy seemed to really like the Peach Rice Pudding. It smells good and has a nice texture to it. The only complaint I have is that it was kind of difficult to get all of the food out of the pouches.
SproutBaby also carries many other things including feeding supplies including bottles, spoons, dishes, tons of baby care and mom care items, books and more. Check them out!

Cheeky Umbrella - Review

I have recently had the chance to review a very cute umbrella from Cheeky Umbrella. The have a bunch of really cute umbrella designs. They are designed on the top and also on the underside, which I think is fabulous since you can only see the underside when you are using it.
This is the one I was sent. On the underside it says 'It's raining, it's pouring, other umbrellas are boring'. They all have super cute sayings and they are very nice, LARGE umbrellas. Not so big you don't want to use it, but not so small that it's almost pointless either. I think the size is just perfect. Umbrellas are good for all kinds of weather. My two favorite being rain (obviously) and sun. Yes, sun. You can use them for shade anywhere you go. This is perfect for me where I live in Arizona and it is almost always sunny, unless it is monsoon season and then it is raining. An umbrella is a year round necessity. These umbrellas are so awesome that she even puts a lifetime warranty on them. Please head on over to her site and check it out. She is also on blogger, twitter and facebook. (Click on any of the words to take you to her sites.)

CLOSED - We Love Colors - Review & Giveaway - Ends 8/30

I recently had the opportunity to review some kids microfiber tights from We Love Colors. I had them send me Neon Pink to match a cute little dress that my daughter has. The tights didn't quite match, but that was my fault, not theirs. The dress is in a shade of pink that I don't think I'll ever find again so no big deal. My daughter loves the tights and they are very durable, unlike every other pair we have ever tried. She wore them all day and changed her outfit at least three times. The best part was seeing my 15 month old son's reaction. He followed her around and poked at her legs every time she would sit down. They are bright and vibrant. I am in the process of trying to get her into dance or gymnastics and I will definitely be suggesting these to the studio or gym that we decide to go with. Thank you We Love Colors for making a product that is kid durable! If I ever have the chance to do another review for them I would love to do one for the Solid Color Tube Dress. It is adorable - go check it out! They are also on twitter.

We Love Colors has offered to give up to two of my readers (depending on how many new follower they get and how many entries we get here) their choice of either a pair of kids tights or socks.

CLOSED - Neat Solutions Table Topper - Reviwe & Givewaway - Ends 8/29

This week I have had the chance to review the Table Topper from Neat Solutions. They also carry a lot of other wonderful products.

Here is a little bit about the Table Topper

Disposable, stick-in-place placemats.

• A Little Sheet of Neat
• Protects Children from Germs on Restaurant Table Tops
• A sanitary eating surface that sticks securely in place, (Think of it as a clean table...that fits in your diaper bag.)
• On-the-Go protection from germs, dirt & cleaning chemicals on restaurant and food court tables. (It is kind of like a disposable security blanket.)
• Fun and engaging designs that keep your child occupied. (So you can enjoy your meal, too!)
• BPA-Free, PVC-Free, phthalate-Free

I was sent the Dora table toppers that are super cute! I love that they also teach your child something.
This is in my home at my kitchen table, but my kids loved them! I love that they stick to the table well enough that the kids can't pull them off easily, but not so well that they damage the table or are difficult for the parent to remove.

Table Topper has offered to give one of my readers a package of Dora table toppers as well.

CLOSED - Meg Original - Review & Giveaway - Ends 8/28

I absolutely love this super cute etsy.com shop called MEG original. My two year old is in love with the cute minkee blanket that she sent us. We received the brown and red one. My son loves it and calls it his 'special blanket' although it wasn't supposed to be for him :o) He has to have the red side touching him and the brown side facing out or he says it is backwards and makes me 'fix' it.


Your purchase from MEG original comes all wrapped up like you see below. It is perfect for gift giving because you can have it shipped right to the receiver and it is ready to go.
When you open it up the blanket is wrapped in a cute matching ribbon. I seriously love this shop! MEG Original has offered to give one of my lucky readers a minkee blanket of their choice
