Belmama Bundle with Shower Hug [giveaway]

May 10, 2012 By 85 Comments

Remember my Less Is More Baby Registry printable? The 40-item list aims to encourage a sensible and simple approach to baby product buying. After all, bitty babies need little more than love-sweet-love.

belmama bundle Belmama Bundle with Shower Hug [giveaway]Among the 40 items is the Shower Hug – a super soft band that you wear around your boobs during pregnancy and postpartum to protect them from the stinging water rays in the shower. I would have been miserable showering without it for those first few weeks postpartum.

The new Belmama Gift Bundle by Belmama & Cherub includes a Shower Hug, plus 3 luxuriously soft burp cloths and 3 wash clothes. The material is downy to the touch and sure to be welcomed by any newborn’s delicate skin. All of the items come wrapped in tulle for a very pretty presentation. All in all? A lovely baby shower gift for a mom-to-be.

These delectable cakes are made with diapers, toiletries, and toys for a fun gift that won’t go unused. Best of all, the cakes feature Pampers Swaddlers diapers…our family’s favorite brand of disposables for newborns! You can opt for either a cake with Johnson’s baby products or Burt’s Bee’s products (a more natural option). I’d love to see future cakes made with Aveeno or Arbonne soaps and creams. Also, wouldn’t a book-themed cake be READiculously rad?

A cake like this would be an especially perfect centerpiece for a shower. It’s the kind of decor that is guaranteed to be noticed, but that will also be a delightful post-party gift.

WIN IT! One winner will receive a three-tier diaper cake from the Bestselling Diaper Cakes category – to be used for yourself or as a gift! To enter, leave any topic-related comment on this post prior to Tuesday, May 15 at 11:59 p.m. All generic comments like “Enter me!” or “Love it” will be disqualified.

what we eat for breakfast

April 9, 2012 By 100 Comments

blueberry streusel muffins1 what we eat for breakfastThe four of us sit around our hard wood kitchen table. It’s 8:30am, late for many families, just right for us.

On most mornings, the girls request granola or “cereal” (which means Kashi’s 7 Whole Grain HoneyPuffs).

If we haven’t already eaten every last bit of fresh fruit in our house (how does it go so quickly?), we devour bananas, blackberries, sliced strawberries, peaches, or raspberries.

Other times, we whip up one of our favorite breakfast recipes:

tropicana pure premium orange juice what we eat for breakfastWhen we have juice, you’ll most often find Tropicana’s 100% Pure Premium Florida Orange Juice in our fridge. The ingredient list? 100% pure & natural orange juice. Plus, all of the oranges are grown and picked right here in the U.S. Love that.
Tim recently put freshly washed (not peeled) carrots, Tropicana OJ, and ice into the blender – and made some awesome carrot juice. I enjoyed every sip of the thick carroty goodness.
What does your family typically eat for breakfast? Share your favorite recipes, please!

Children’s Book Giveaway: Little Color Fairies

March 23, 2012 By 44 Comments

New in 2012, Mara Van Fleet creates a magical world of colors and sparkles for toddlers to enjoy.

little color fairies Childrens Book Giveaway: Little Color Fairies

The fun begins with the front cover, which features three childlike fairies and a pull-out handle that makes the wings flap. Each page then spotlights one color (eleven colors in all). Rhyming text makes for a read-aloud that slips off the tongue. Little ones will also appreciate the interactive nature of the book – fabrics to feel, arrows to pull, etc.

The “plot” of the story revolves around the fairies dressing a princess for a rainbow ball. All of the characters are refreshingly not grown-up. There are no tiny waists or low-cut dresses – only cheerful faces.

WIN IT! One winner will receive a copy of Little Color Fairies, written and illustrated by Mara Van Fleet! To enter, leave any topic-related comment on this post prior to Friday, March 30 at 11:59 p.m. All generic comments like “Enter me!” or “Love it” will be disqualified. Winner must provide a US mailing address.

Children’s Book Giveaway: Romeo & Juliet BabyLit

March 12, 2012 By 29 Comments

As you know, I’m a fan of “Pride & Prejudice” from the BabyLit series. This English major’s heart couldn’t help but be captivated.

When I saw that a “Romeo & Juliet” board book had also come out, I wondered how the author might handle the delicate and depressing subject matter. I needn’t have worried.

The sturdy and delightful book counts from 1 to 10, alongside images inspired by Shakespeare’s famous novel (with no mention of the couple’s fateful death). Parents will appreciate the opportunity to be reacquainted with the melancholic characters, while little ones learn their numbers!
