Eebee's Adventures DVD ~ Giveaway! Closed

eebee's adventures is giving one lucky reader a DVD!

Here is some information from eebee's site:

our philosophy

eebee's adventures are designed to engage you and your baby with rich play experiences that provide powerful lessons that memorizing letters, numbers, colors and shapes simply can and do not.

Watching and, importantly, “doing” eebee's adventures will allow you and your baby to see and learn first-hand what happens when you explore a crinkly, crunchy, smooth and bumpy paper mountain or roll, bounce, bop, bang, slide and toss your way around a world of balls and ramps.

We know that when your child is playing, she is actively trying to figure things out about objects and people—why did that ball roll and the block slide? How did he do that? Why did that happen?... The questions, theories and solutions just continue to evolve as your child develops and masters a myriad of critical physical, social and intellectual skills—playing and learning about how the world works and he works in it.

Every parent can recount a time when their infant headed straight for that curtain to give it a pull; or happily opted to tear the wrapping paper rather then engage with the gift; or tried and tried to get the round peg into the square hole; or simply offered you whatever was in their hand.

Babies will instinctively:
~Take initiative and act on their natural curiosity
~Make clear choices among different materials and experiences
~Vary their strategies and try different approaches
~Persist at a goal and stick to a task
~Share their discoveries and seek social interaction

These are the real basic skills of your baby's first years and these are the hallmarks of great thinkers and achievers. The research is clear that the best way for babies to grow and strengthen these skills—the skills they need to succeed in life—is to play.

DVD's were a hit in my house with my youngest! She loves the characters!

Two Sisters Jewelry Boutique Closed

Two Sisters Jewelry Boutique is giving one lucky reader a pair of Emilia Silver Earrings!

Here is some information on how Two Sisters Jewelry Boutique got started:

"Jennifer Michelson and Gina Paluch are twin sisters, originally from Walla Walla, Washington. After discovering that living away from one another was simply no longer an option, Gina made the move from the mild California climate to the searing heat of Phoenix, Arizona so that their families could be together once again.

Jennifer, began hand-making jewelry in her spare time for friends and family as gifts. Requests kept piling in from friends and family to sell her hand made Jewelry. She knew if she pursued this as a business, she couldn’t do it alone, and called upon the expertise of her sister Gina, her business degree background and her natural creativity. The two new mothers decided to allow the rest of the world in on their creative designs, building a web-based business featuring their distinctive semi-precious stone jewelry.

Jennifer and Gina’s intention was to create exclusive jewelry, that would allow anyone to accessorize her way to that perfect look. Their look is hip, yet classy…definitively chic and engaging…take a look and enjoy!!!"

I love these earrings! They go with everything. I can wear them with a dressy outfit to jeans and a cute shirt. One thing I really like is that they are not heavy on my ears and they do not have backs one less thing for me to loose :) The Customer service was outstanding!

Sparklehearts Giveaway Closed

One lucky reader will win a product of your choice from Sparklehearts.

Here is some information about Sparklehearts:

"Sparklehearts products are made from 99.6% natural ingredients that are completely “skinemy”-free, that means no harmful toxins or unpleasant ingredients. Instead, they use essential oils, violet extract, coconut,Shea butter, and green tea extract in their products. So,they not only feel and smell great, but because they’reall-natural they’re actually better for the body.

Moms Hilary Orr and Darcy McMahon came up with Sparklehearts when their search for natural beauty products for their daughters came up empty. Sure, they could find natural products, but none had the appeal of the products in flashy packaging that always seemed to catch their daughters’ eye. So, they decided to create a line of natural, environmentally-friendly beauty products designed especially for girls. "

We got to try Sparklehearts Body Lotion. My daughter loved it. I like the fact that it is natural. I also like that the scent is not overpowering. It does not have harmful toxins and with everything you hear on the news that is so important.

Toddler Virtue Tees ~ Giveaway Closed

One lucky reader will win a shirt from Toddler Virtue Tees. I just think these are so great to teach your children virtues. I honestly get really upset when I see inappropriate sayings on children's clothing. But not to worry with these tees.


Here is some information on Toddler Virtue Tees:

"I feel that to make the world a better place, we need to start with our children. I propose that we bring back virtues. What if we instilled virtues like kindness, courage, tolerance, gratitude and patience into our toddlers? What if eventually these virtues became not only a word, but a way of life? What would happen if these virtuous toddlers became virtuous school aged children, young adults and our leaders of tomorrow? Maybe instead of seeing school shootings sprung by hatred, cowards for authority figures or wars arising from intolerance and impatience, we’ll see new and gracioius generations make decisions based on respect and virtues. Just imagine what a world that would be!

Please give teaching virtues to toddlers a try by using my '5 steps to teach virtues method'. My goal is that by the time your toddler has outgrown their tee, the virtue will be ingrained in their heart forever.

The second part of this project is to Pass it On. Please join me in my efforts to create a generation known for virtues. Share these virtues (and Toddler Virtue Tees!) with other grown-ups and toddlers. Pass hand-me-downs to siblings and order tees for toddler friends! Donate hand me downs to local shelters or soup kitchens. Buy new ones for kids who normally wouldn't be reached by these tees. We've donated to our local homeless shelter. Be a good role model to your child. Show kindness first hand. Do good and feel good! You can help make a difference.

Something truly special could happen if we all take part in Pass it On. We could take little steps together to make the future brighter. Won't you give it a try with me?"

How great is that! :)

What is a Refresh'n Dryer Towel?

The Refresh'n Dryer Towel will clean and freshen undesirable, previously worn, slightly dirty, odorized, lifeless, wrinkled clothing into fresh, ready-to-wear articles in a matter of 10 – 15 minutes, without the need for washing.

The Refresh'n Dryer Towel is lint free and will not shrink, spot, fade, or cause color bleeding on fabric, including delicates. This product uses no chemicals or fabric treatments and is 100% natural.

Wring out excess water.
Lay the Refresh'n Dryer Towel flat, on top of clothing items.

Skinny Dip Candles are easy and fun to use. And rest assured, they will not burn you! Because of the ingredients in Skinny Dip Candles, they have a very low melt point. When fully melted they're just 102 degrees -- not even as warm as a hot tub.

Ingredients include: cosmetic-grade soy, avocado oil, coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax, sunflower oil, cocoa butter, vitamin E, and scented oils for aroma. The ingredients are not only natural, but they are extremely rich and moisturizing. A little bit will go a very long way, so please use sparingly. When you use the right amount, the melted oils will soak into your skin completely within just a few minutes.

To use your Skinny Dip Candle, simply light it and let a melt pool form. Extinguish the flame! (As you know, the flame itself is always hot so please blow it out before using.) You can dip your fingers directly into the melted oils, or you can use the little scoop that is included inside of each tin to dip a small amount out to use.

Use the warmed lotion on your cuticles, elbows, heels, or other dry skin areas on the body. You can also pour the melted oils out of the tin and use the Skinny Dip Candle for massage.

Kidcards ~ Greeting Card Books Giveaway Closed

I love to have my kids make cards for people whether it is for a birthday or just to cheer up someone. I just think it means so much more! So when I was contacted to review KidCards I thought it would be fun and my kids would really enjoy it!

We got Volume 1 & 2. Volume 1 is perfect for my three year old daughter she really enjoyed coloring all the pictures. Volume 2 my nine year old daughter colored and she really enjoyed drawing her own pictures on the front. Both Volumes 1 & 2 have cards for birthday, thank you, get well and friendship. And they come with envelopes.

"Here's a bit about how KidCards® came to be:

As a mom of two, we are always making cards for Birthdays and other celebrations as well as to show those who might be "under the weather" that we're thinking about them. As much as we love making cards, it was very time consuming... before my oldest could read or write, it was also a project that couldn't really be done without help.

While making a card with my oldest daughter for her cousin's birthday, the idea of KidCards® Greeting Card Books sprouted. There needs to be an easier way for my kids to make a greeting card on their own... something that really focuses them in the right direction... and a project that won't take the entire day. Thus, the idea for KidCards® Volume 1 was born. A "book" of sorts in which the pages are already "drawn out" and that could be removed, colored and folded into individual greeting cards.

As my oldest daughter has grown and has shown that she loves to drawing her own pictures, I decided to create Volume 2; a KidCards® book that would consist of a "frame" on each cover, leaving more room for a child's creativity. Since then, KidCards, Ltd. has put out a Christmas Edition as well as 3 new Teachers' Editions that are useful in a group setting.

KidCards® gives kids the "outline" for making a one-of-a-kind gift that comes straight from their heart... and even more so, the fact that they've done it by themselves fosters confidence with every greeting sent!"

One lucky reader will win

The New Jumbo Book of Easy Crafts!

Written by Judy Ann Sadler

Illustrated by Caroline Price

.

I was very excited to get this book. My youngest daughter is 3 and we are always looking for fun craft ideas. This book is geared for grades preschool to second grade and ages 3 to 7. But my oldest daughter is nine and really enjoyed these crafts also.

.

One thing I really like about this book is that it is separated into groups. Imagine & Create, Wear & Use, Make & Play, Decorate & Celebrate. So I sat down with my girls to decide what are we going to do first. With Mother's Day approaching they chose Fuzzy Flowers which it is just using pipe cleaners and a pencil. It had easy directions and pictures illustrating each step.

.

I have really enjoyed this book. And I plan on implementing it into my youngest daughters homeschool curriculum for next year for pre school.

Chocolate Tortilla Chips! Can it get any better? These chips are incredible!

The wonderful people at FoodShouldTasteGood is giving one lucky reader a variety of yummy chips. I got to try several flavors and all of them are really good. But by far the Chocolate Tortilla Chips is #1 in my house.

.

Some of the other flavors I got to try included: Multigrain, Jalapeno, Olive, The Works, Sweet Potato, Buffalo. They were all very good!

Here is some information on how it all got started:

"I love food and have been working in grocery stores and restaurant since starting my first job in high school. The most important lesson I learned along the way is that food tastes best when it is made with quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. This simple idea inspired me to take wholesome, all natural ingredients and capture their great flavor by baking them INSIDE a chip to create a new kind of snack. It just felt right to call my company, Food ShouldTasteGood. It's alot of work to live up to the name, but I wouldn't want it any other way."
