Commenter #50 Dawn Says: "I liked the Thermos Foogo Stainless Steel Sippy Cup - Pink"



When Kaelyn first began wearing shoes, I remember the most important thing for me was that they were comfortable for her. Yes...I wanted them to look cute...but the priority was that they fit how they were supposed to and didn't hurt her feet. As she gets older I still think this is very important. Who would want to wear uncomfortable shoes when all you're doing is walking and running around all day, right?!

That's why I was so thankful to come across Jack and Lily and the adorable, high quality baby/toddler shoes they offer! Inspired by the baby's sense of touch...Jack and Lily has a variety of durable, slip-resistant shoes that support a child's development with their soft soles. I greatly appreciate their dedication to quality and helping babies discover and explore the world around them!

I was thrilled to have the chance to review a pair of Jack and Lily shoes for Kaelyn! I wish I had known about Jack and Lily from the beginning. They truly live up to all the great things that are said about them. Their high quality leather is amazing and they're incredibly soft as well! I was amazed at how light they were...perfect for the pre-walker or even experienced walker. Kaelyn just loved them. We received the Sport/Pink Shoes....aren't they absolutely adorable?!! They are available in sizes from 0-6 months up to 3 years! Typically Kaelyn is all about trying to take off her shoes, so the fact that these had velcro made me a little nervous. She hasn't tried to take them off once though...she really enjoys wearing them...I'm sure because they are comfortable and light-weight!

A few of the features they offer which I thought were really great are:
• A true soft-sole shoe that can be used Indoor and Outdoor
• Non-toxic, breathable, premium 100% cowhide leather
• Soft, flexible and skid resistant TPR sole
• Genuine suede lining
• 3mm cushioned soles and cushioned ankle protection
• Ultra-light and flexible providing ultimate comfort
• Velcro makes it easy to put on and stay securely in place
• Perfect for pre and new walkers
• Recommended by Podiatrists

I really thought these were cute from their Original Collection too! Maybe if we have a boy this next time.....













Buy It:
You can purchase Jack and Lily baby shoes right there on their website! You can also use their store locator to find a store near you that carries them as well! They would make a perfect baby shower gift as well with their super cute, award-winning keepsake box that they come in!

Just before Kaelyn was born we received a Baby Signing Time DVD at a baby shower. I was thrilled. As a former early childhood educator and through education classes in college, I had seen this work first hand and knew it would be perfect for our little one. There are so many wonderful benefits of sign language with young children...even babies! By the time Kaelyn was 3 months old we started to introduce her to this great series! Very early on we noticed her using signs like eat, more, and milk. As time went on she began using more and more signs....cracker, diaper, potty, dog, etc.

Baby Signing Time was a fantastic way to instill confidence and security and helped us communicate with her in a way which allowed for fewer instances of frustration on her part when she was feeling she couldn't tell us what she needed. The biggest difference though...was the way it helped to stimulate early learning, her vocabulary, and language skills. She began saying words at a very early age and was using two words and more to make sentences shortly after she turned a year old. After the very positive experience we've had with Kaelyn, I know without a doubt it's something we'll do with this next baby as well. I think signing is a terrific communication tool and one more parents should consider! For those who aren't familiar with Baby Signing Time...it's a collection of DVD's that makes learning signs fun through music, animation and real babies under the age of two signing!

I am SO excited because the wonderful people behind Signing Time have offered one of my readers a Baby Signing Time Volume 1 & 2 + CDs Giftset (a $59.99 value)!!! This set is perfect for kids as young as 3 months old and up to 3 years old!

I came across a fantastic deal thanks to Luv a Bargain that I couldn't not share! Do you love to shop at Bath and Body Works?

The free lip item can be up to a $12 value too! How great is that?!? Offer ends May 31st...so print this coupon and hurry into your nearest Bath and Body Works store!!



This Giveaway is now CLOSED! Thanks to all who entered! With our second baby I am bound and determined to come up with a solution that helps us to successfully swaddle him/her. With Kaelyn it didn't matter how hard I tried...it seemed that she always came loose. I couldn't figure out a good solution to this problem. After some searching recently, I came across the Miracle Blanket and boy do I wish I had one of these with Kaelyn! A true swaddling blanket, designed to help babies sleep better and reduce fussiness...who could ask for anything more?!? What I think is so great about this blanket is there are no knots, buttons, straps, Velcro, snaps, or zippers. Truly one of a kind with it's design and ease of use. After only a few easy steps (shown here on their website), anyone can swaddle their baby and keep them swaddled!

Their website is packed full of information for parents informing them of the benefits of the Miracle Blanket (stops colic, reduces fussiness, helps baby sleep better, and helps baby sleep just to name a few) as well as testimonials from other Mom's who have tried and loved the Miracle Blanket and the benefits it provides for both baby and Mom. When you're baby is getting a good night's sleep...so is Mom! That's why I'm thinking I need to have several of these on hand. With a little one laundry is done often...and I know I will want many to ensure that there is always one clean to use.

Buy It: You can purchase the Miracle Blanket for $29.95 with a variety of colors to choose from! A Mommy Must-have for any Mommy...whether it's for you or maybe a gift for someone else!

How To Enter To Win: The people behind Miracle Blanket have generously offered a Miracle Blanket to one of my readers in the color of their choice! All you have to do is visit Miracle Blanket and leave me a comment letting me know which color is your favorite!! (This initial entry is required before any of the extra entries will be counted)

New OFF! Products Review

Posted by Jenna | Friday, May 22, 2009

Summer is quickly approaching, and here where we live that means mosquitoes! Yuck! I have to admit that although I enjoy the warmer weather during the summer months....mosquitoes can often times ruin my wanting to be outdoors. Having a toddler now though has me thinking differently. She LOVES to be outdoors, and that means my hubby and I have to be outdoors too. It's fun to watch her play and to spend time with her. I want to be enjoy all those times we will have to spend outdoors as a family this summer...and that's why I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try the new OFF! Products: OFF! Clip-on Mosquito Repellent and the OFF! PowerPad Lamp from BzzAgent.

We don't have a lot of mosquitoes out yet...but as we were outside at the beginning of the week we did notice a couple. I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to try my new OFF! products. I thought they worked rather well. I have to say that the OFF! Clip-on was probably my favorite. It was just so easy to use, and it goes wherever you go. So when I'm running around the yard with Kaelyn...there it is with me the whole time. I enjoyed the OFF PowerPad Lamp as well....the only downfall is that it stays put. It's good for those nights when we sit out on our patio as a family. The nice thing about it is that although it doesn't move, it does repel up to a 15 ft x 15 ft area....that's quite a bit. What I appreciated about both was that I didn't have to apply the spray to my skin or clothing. I also didn't notice a chemical odor which was nice as well....as typically that is something gives me a headache right away! My hubby liked them so much that he's actually wanting to take them to work with him! He works in agriculture and is outside a lot...so this would be perfect...especially the OFF! Clip-on.

You can learn more about these OFF! Products and how they can protect you from mosquitoes without having to spray anything all over you! I think it's definitely worth checking out....especially as mosquito weather nears and will be here before we know it!
