I recently had the opportunity to review the Read and Share Toddler Bible thanks to Thomas Nelson Publishers!! I was really looking forward to receiving this book in the mail and after having had the chance to look it over and read it with my daughter, I can tell you that it's a wonderful collection to our children's Bibles and other books!!
Kaelyn has other Bibles which are very good, but as a toddler she loses interest quickly. I expected the same to happen with this toddler Bible, but it never did! She was interested the entire time! Between the short, easy to understand, interesting stories and the beautiful pictures, I thought it was perfect for children her age and is now one of her favorite books to read!! I feel that the stories, although shortened, were Biblically accurate and perfectly worded for a toddler to undestand. I have to say though, that in my opinion the pictures really made each of the stories come to life. They are incredible!
There were a couple of other features I really appreciated about this Toddler Bible, one of which was the great bonus DVD of Bible Stories that it included. Kaelyn absolutely adored it! I also loved the little notes for parents found throughout. It gives parents ideas of how to make the Bible stories more meaningful to their children, either through discussion or fun, interactive activities.
I would definitely recommend the Read and Share Toddler Bible to anyone with young children...espeically those under the age of 5! You can purchase it from Amazon or the Thomas Nelson Publishers website.
I have so much fun shopping for our daughter and baby on the way! I just love to find unique clothing and accessories for them!! That's why I was excited to come across Baby Melons and the adorable line of headwear they offer! Kaelyn doesn't have a lot of hair and many people still mistake her for a boy because of it. For that reason I always like to be sure and have hair accessories or cute hats on her! Baby Melons makes that SO easy, as they have a large variety to choose from...everything from headbands to super cute hats! Isn't this one adorable?!!
They also have a great selection for boys too! We are waiting to be surprised on the gender with this second baby, so their neutral line of hats is much appreciated as it makes finding a cute one for the time our little one arrives much easier!! I absolutely adore this one....
If you're looking for a company committed to superior customer service, and one of a kind baby hats for your little one...or even the perfect baby gift...I would recommend checking out Baby Melons!! You can tell just by looking at their selection that much time and care went into making each one. Something else I appreciated was how user friendly their website is. It's very easy to navigate and find that perfect style for your little one.
How To Enter To Win: Baby Melons has generously offered one of my readers a hat of their choice!! To enter, vist Baby Melons and leave me a comment letting me know which hat you would choose if you won!

Even though we live in the midwest where summer seems to last just a couple of months and our time outdoors is limited...it's still important that we make sure we're taking every step we can to keep our skin safe from the sun's harmful rays. I particularly get concerned about the sensitive skin of our daughter and am always looking for ways to make sure she is safe while playing outdoors!
That's why I was excited to learn more about the SunMate from Purely Products, a green products company that focuses on distributing innovative and environmentally friendly products that lead to healthier lifestyles. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review this product first hand! The product description points out that we can't be fooled into thinking th
at a few clouds will help protect us from the sun's harmful rays. Sometimes I forget that. It's important to be knowledgeable about the harmful effects of UV rays and SunMate gives you just that!! Now we can have fun in the sun safely while measuring the intensity of the sun's strength.
I personally was very impressed with the SunMate and liked how it put my mind at ease while outdoors! I really appreciated how it alerted us of possible over-exposure to UV rays from the sun! Another great thing about it is that it's SO easy to use. All we had to do was press the white button at the top and LED indicators lit up between 1 and 5 depending on the intensity of the UV light to help us take the appropriate precautions. At just 2.5 inches tall and 2 inches wide it was also very easy to take with us wherever we went....to the park, pool, on a picnic, etc.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who spends time outdoors no matter where they live! It's a great reminder of the sun's intensity and when action needs to be taken to help protect you and your family!
Buy It: The SunMate can be purchased on the Purely Products website for just $19.95! It can also be found at a number of retailer locations nationwide, as well as CVS.com and Amazon.com!
How To Enter To Win: Purely Products has generously offered one of my readers their very own SunMate UV Monitor!! To enter to win, visit the Purely Products website and leave me a comment letting me know another product they carry.

And...the winner for The Spunky Monkey Giveaway is...
Commenter #107 Terra H. said..."I tweeted about the giveaway."
Before I had Kaelyn I have to admit that "green products" were not something I was very familiar with. It's amazing though how your perspective on things change once you have a baby. All of a sudden I became more aware of the hazardous chemicals in the cleaning products we were using and was determined to find a "greener" way to clean. I am so happy I turned to natural products! It helps to put my mind at ease knowing that my family is not being exposed to all toxins in so many products on the market today!!
I am always looking to learn more about natural cleaning products and brands people are using. That is why I was thrilled when I was contacted by Ecostore USA to review a couple of their environmentally friendly, plant and mineral-based household cleaning and personal care products that are not only safe for our planet...but also our families! They contain NO nasty chemicals! They gave us the chance to use their Baby Body Wash and Laundry Liquid.
I was very impressed with their Baby Body Wash! Ever since Kaelyn was a baby her skin has been quite sensitive to the products we use on her. Knowing this, we've always tried to use products that are as mild as possible. That's what I found to be true with this product! It was extremely mild and had no harsh effects on her skin at all. In fact, it left her skin feeling very smooth and healthy! It put my mind at ease that I not only didn't have to worry about her breaking out from this product, but also that it was safe.
The Laundry Liquid was equally as great!! It leaves absolutely no chemical residue build up on the items you wash like so many other products out there. I am very cautious with the laundry detergents I use...especially with Kaelyn's clothing. I enjoy the fact that this laundry liquid does not irritate her skin and leaves clothing clean. I have started using it on all of our clothes and will for the baby's clothing once he/she arrives this Fall as well!
They offer a number of products other than these that I'd love to try...like their Citrus Spray Cleaner and Baby Moisturizer. It's great knowing that they are safe and actually do what they are made to do! It's a line of products I will definitely be sure and tell others about! Oh...and on orders of $25 or more they offer FREE shipping!!
How To Enter To Win: Ecostore USA has generously offered one of my readers a $25 Gift Card! To enter to win all you have to do is visit the Ecostore USA website and leave me a comment letting me know what you'd use your $25 Gift Card to purchase if you won!!

A good cookie every once in a while always helps to relieve some of my cravings during pregnancy! That's why I was looking forward to having the opportunity to try and review the NEW Pillsbury Simply...TM Refrigerated Cookies!! Who can say no to cookies, right?! Sometimes I do find "simple" foods to taste simple and bland, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but was excited to try them and find out.
After baking them, my hubby and I tried a couple right away! Cookies are always best right out of the oven!! YUM! I have to tell you that they were delicious!! They didn't taste like ready to bake cookies at all! What's even better about these new cookies from Pillsbury is that they are made with wholesome ingredients like flour, eggs, and vanilla and have 0g Trans Fat, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial colors/flavors and no preservatives! They also come in two favorite flavors....Chocolate chip and Peanut Butter! Ready to bake cookies are wonderful because there is no messy preparation, they are ready in minutes and there is very little cleanup afterward. We were very impressed with these cookies and plan on using this $1.25 off coupon to buy more Pillsbury Simply...TM Refrigerated Cookies in the near future!! Feel free to print it off and try them for yourself!
Along with the coupon for our free cookies, we also received a cute cookie jar and a really great canvas grocery tote! What's great is, MyBlogSpark has offered one of my readers the same Free Cookies Coupon and Prize Pack!

I'm always excited to find baby products that can be personalized. I know many people just love getting things that have their little one's name on them....I do too!! Whether a personalized baby gift is given at a baby shower before the baby is born, or soon after the birth, something like this always makes such a special gift! That's why I was so impressed with Breezy Oaks Baby Boutique when I first came across their website! They offer a large variety of personalized items for babies. What's great is that their line of products doesn't end there....they also offer a number of useful items for Mom and Dad as well!
Breezy Oaks Baby Boutique was kind enough to send us a personalized burp cloth for our baby who is due this fall! As I browsed through the selection of choices I found it hard to choose just one! There are so many cute designs! The personalization doesn't end with the choice of what name to put on it though...you also get to choose thread colors and font styles as well! I decided to go with the more neutral burp cloth and had "Little One" embroidered on it instead of a name since we are choosing to wait until the baby is born to find out if he/she is a boy or a girl! Isn't this Stephen Joseph Zoo Animals Burp Cloth just adorable?!! I can't wait to use it! When I received it in the mail I was stunned at the quality. It's not your cheap, thin burp cloth that you may have found in other stores....this is thick and soft...perfect for many uses and your baby's sensitive skin.
I would definitely recommend Breezy Oaks Baby Boutique to anyone looking for a special baby gift! Whether it be burp cloths you are looking for or maybe even cute clothing or blankets like those pictured below, they have it all! The options seem endless and what's great is that everything from Breezy Oaks Baby Boutique is affordable and would make perfect baby gifts that will be cherished always!!
Buy It: The Zoo Animals Burp Cloth is $9.99 and can be found on the Breezy Oaks Baby Boutique website.
How To Enter To Win: Breezy Oaks Baby Boutique is giving one lucky reader a personalized baby bib and burp cloth set of their choice! There are so many great designs, fonts and colors to choose from! To enter, all you have to do is visit Breezy Oaks Baby Boutique and leave me a comment letting me know another item they carry that you like!!

Commenter #66 Abby said: "I follow you on twitter also."
Not even two years old yet and she already loves to accessorize! :)
If you're like me then you always look for the most natural and non-toxic products out there...especially when it comes to your little one. Before having Kaelyn I really didn't think twice about the products I used...however, after having her my whole perspective on the issue changed completely! It became my top priority to give her the very best start in life and that meant choosing wisely when it came to the products we use...whether it be food, lotions, soaps, cleaners, etc. I am always open to learning about new products available and was excited to be introduced to Hazelaid, a company born from a family who was introduced to the healing properties of all-natural hazelwood products!
The daughter of Severine Stegner and her husband (Hazelaid business owners), was suffering with severe eczema at a very young age at the time they learned about these necklaces. They tried them out and within 2 weeks of her wearing it, her eczema was gone!! That was the beginning of their journey with hazelwood necklaces and their online business, Hazelaid!
The daughter of Severine wearing her necklace at 6 months old
In browsing their website, you'll find that they offer hazelwood necklaces, bracelets and other related products that have natural therapeutic properties. They can help to alleviate teething pain as well as eczema and acid reflux in babies, children and even adults! What I found to be most impressive about these products is that they're all-natural, organic and safe for both babies and adults! Hazelwood has actually been used for hundreds of years by the Native Americans to help alleviate their babies' teething pains. They have since found that it can also help to allieviate many other ailments causing an acidity imbalance in the body, such as....
Arthritis
Osteoporosis
Acid reflux
Heart burn
Ulcers
Acne
Cold sores
Eczema
Headaches
Migraines
These hazelwood products can help you alleviate your/your baby's symptoms in a natural way. Just read some of their testimonials from customers who have used these products.

Ever since Kaelyn was very young she has enjoyed having books read to her and looking through them on her own. Many times a day I will find her sitting on the floor looking through books and talking and pointing at pictures as she goes. It's neat to see her learning and developing a love for reading at such a young age! We've noticed she especially enjoys books that have her name in them. We often replace names in books with hers and this sparks her interest for the story even more! I mean, who doesn't love seeing and hearing their name in a story, right?! That's why I love personalized books so much! As a mom, and former early childhood educator, I feel that it's a wonderful way to get kids involved in reading as well as getting them familiar with their own name.
We were recently introduced to MJM Books and their line of customizable children's bo
oks. I was impressed as I browsed their website and saw the stories that they offer which are aimed at engaging young children's interest in reading! I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review one of their books as well!! I chose the If I Were Big book and was very happy with their customer service and how quickly the book was sent. They make it very easy for you to customize the book, not only with your child's name but also their illustrated likeness. You can choose from a variety of options such as hair color, skin tone, gender, etc. It was neat to receive a book with a little girl that resembled Kaelyn....a feature that I have not found with any of the other personalized books we've seen.
The moment our book arrived in the mail, Kaelyn wanted to read it. We read it once through and she was begging to read it again. The second time through she was pointing to the little girl and saying "Kaelyn" and loved hearing her name throughout the If I Were Big story. It's so neat when parents can make reading fun for children! That's why I appreciate these customizable books and the time put into creating them! They are good quality and offer fun, catchy stories anyone would enjoy! I like that this is a family company, started by three brothers who want to "Make Reading Fun"...a motto they are passionate about when it comes to the children's books they create.
The other two books they offer also look really cute and I am sure would be a great addition to anyone's collection of children's books! They have the, A Day At The Park book as well as the, What Animal Are You? book...both of which I would encourage you to check out on their site where you can actually preview the whole the story...illustrations and all!
