{Organically Cute Baby Bib Pack Giveaway}

Moms or Moms to be if you are trying to figure out the perfect bib that lasts and is reasonably priced then look no further…. My daughter Anna and I have been playing with bibs from www.organicallycute.com . All I can say is WOW! These bibs have snaps on them rather than the normal Velcro. They have 2 different size adjustments so they can grow with your baby! My daughter is great at putting things to the test. At 5 months old she decided she was tired of baby food and being fed. She is now 8 months old and eats what we eat and feeds herself.

{Inglesina Avio Stroller}

I realized very early on the importance of a good stroller. I take mine with me everywhere and have more then one for multiple cars. It is something i never like to be left without. Finding one that does everything i need as well as being safe, stylish and functional can be challenging. In my experience i have found that you get what you pay for.

{Amy Michelle Rodeo Drive™ go bebĂ© Bag}

With every baby, comes more things that we have to pack around just to make even the smallest trip go off without disaster. From binkies to diapers, wipes, napkins, toys, bottles and blankets are all things that seem to make it into my bag before an outing. Not to mention all of the things mom needs as well. I found out early the extreme importance of a great diaper bag. I have tried many diaper bags that just do the job of carrying things for baby. But with Amy Michelle bags you get that and so much more. Functional and stylish meet head on with the great designs that they have available. A great bag for me is one that keeps me organized while also looking great.

{Little Stinker}

There are so many wonderful things about my son and babies in general. Diaper changes are the exception. I never really know what i will be getting into with my son. All i can say is he is one stinky little creature at times. I was really excited to try Little Stinker Baby Butt Spray. I knew if it could combat the things i see and smell that it can help any stinky bum-bum. Little Stinker makes those smells less noticeable while moisturizing babies skin at the same time.
When it arrived i did as i always do, tested it on my skin:) The smell was great and it made that spot on my skin almost as soft as my sons bottom. I then tried it on his next explosion diaper change. I thought it worked great. He thought i was weird but i don't think he minded a bit. I loved that is a convenient size bottle that travels well in a diaper bag or anywhere you change your baby. It is great for changing baby away from home as well. Another great thing is that they are earth friendly and also can be used for any stinky smells around the home. I would recommend Little Stinker for your little stinker.
You can purchase Little Stinker Baby Butt Spray here for 11.95

Cover Cuties Inc. Review and Giveaway (Ends 3/31 Worldwide)CLOSED

I am always in the car with my two littlest ones and constantly trying to keep my little guy happy. As moms we pack in toys and things in the car to keep them happy on small or large trips. In general most things get thrown on the floor only for him to cry wanting it back. I cannot tell you how may times I have pulled over to grab toy for him.
Cover Cuties are unique and and just simply fun to occupy the kids in the back seat. The bright colors and super soft fabric make this a perfect item for any mom on the go. Another thing I really love is that they also turn into storage on the go for those smaller toys.

My son received the elephant Cover Cutie. We love it! It is so soft and fun. It slipped right over my headrest perfectly and keeps my son occupied on our trips. One thing about them is the detail, they are amazing. Made using the best materials, she spared no expensive on these Cover Cuties. They come packaged beautifully, perfect for a gift!
I would recommend them to anyone that commutes with kids.

Fandangling Review and Giveaway(Ends 3/31) CLOSED

Anything my little guy loves I love. And my son loved his Fandangling he received for his room. I had seen these around before and was very excited to try one. My son now plays in his room for longer and is mesmerized by the spinning. He lays on the floor pointing laughing and having a blast. My son is 1 1/2 and loves it. I can only imagine how much smaller babies love it as well. Its a hip and fresh way to turn your boring fan into a something great.Fandangling also has them older children.

Here is a little bit from Anne.
I invented Fandangling quite by accident. It all started with our daughter Lia. When she was born we were seeking ways to keep her happy and interested in her room. When I put the first Fandangling on the fan in her room, her eyes lit up and the rest, as they say, is history.


I quickly realized that Fandangling was great for babies – my Mom friends all love it. As Lia grew older and more people came in contact with Fandangling, it became clear that Fandangling wasn't just for babies.


Fandangling is surely the next generation mobile, but older kids love it as well. Our friend's 7 year old daughter loves puppies. The Puparazzi kit was a favorite gift and the perfect accent to her room. Whether her fan is on or off, Fandangling livens up her room and is an eye catching part of the decor. Little boys love it too. Whether they like bugs or sports, adding a Fandangling to their room is fun and cool.


Fandangling has become a wonderful toy – it is for kids of all ages and even adults. Whether you are looking to soothe or just make an unmistakable statement in a room, Fandangling is the answer.

Violet's Velvet Box Review and Giveaway (Ends 3/31) 2 Winners CLOSED

Violet's Velvet Box has some of the sweetest accessories for little girls and babies. All handmade with the greatest attention to detail for any little princess. Many items are adorned with flowers, rhinestones and all things pretty.  Julie sent me a few things for my princess. I love them. The thing that caught my eye was the detail of her items. Pretty, sparkly, durable and perfect for any girl. I love that all items are made by a mom. Cant get better than that. She knows little girls and her accessories say that! The customer service is outstanding and the packaging was great.

Here is a little more about Julie and Violet's Velvet Box

My name is Julie and I am the owner and creator of Violet's Velvet Box.  My daughter Violet is my inspiration for my beautiful creations!  When she was born I tried to find cute hair accessories and tutus and found that nothing that I wanted existed! I desired adorable bows and fancy headbands, not the cheaply made single bows I was finding at popular retail stores. I was able to find some decent tutus, but they were so expensive!  I simply could not find reasonably priced, high quality accessories for little girls. 


Thus I created Violet's Velvet Box.  I offer boutique style, high quality items at affordable prices!From one mom to another, I know how precious your little girl is to you and want her to look as cute as a princess!


My goal is to have every customer 100% satisfied.  If you have ANY ISSUE, please contact me and I will be happy to correct any problems!

Stop by Violet's Velvet Box today!

Piggy Paint Review and Giveaway (Ends 3/31)Worldwide 2 Winners CLOSED

Painting nails with my girls is something I have always done. And my mother did with me. Now the older one paints the younger ones nails. We love it. Its a fun girly way to spend time with your little girl. I have always considered if nail polish was safe to use with my kids and with Piggy Paint you do not have to worry about that. It is non-toxic odorless and kid friendly. I would agree with that. My girls loved it. I loved knowing it was safer than regular polish. My littlest girl had a real sense of accomplishment as she painted her own nails for the first time. And the safe to use polish remover is always available for those piggy touch ups. I really enjoyed watching my girls use their Piggy Paints.
