Simply faBOWlous - Review & Giveaway - 12/8

I'm so excited to have Simply faBOWlous back on the blog before Christmas! This time I was sent two super cute baby accessories to review for you. The first one is this adorable white baby bow hat. I love that it is soft with no rough spots anywhere that could irritate your baby's head. It is just the right size and made very well. It is my opinion that Simply faBOWlous makes very high quality items and nothing less.

The second item is this fancy little tutu headband. It is also very soft with nothing that could scratch the baby's head. This is a stretchy band that would fit your older child as well as your baby. I can't wait to put these on my baby!
Simply faBOWlous is offering one of my readers the two items I received in the colors of their choice.

The Baby Gift Basket Co. Review & Giveaway - 12/7

I have recently come across this neat company that offers many cute baby gift ideas already put together in super cute packages. The Baby Gift Basket Co. has several categories in which to choose from including diaper cakes, personalized items, baby gift baskets, new mom gifts and more. I received the Fattamano Diaper Bag Gift Set , which is pictured below.

This set includes the Baby Sac diaper bag, super soft teddy bear, Fattamano booties, and personalized Fattamano blanket. It somes very nicely packaged so that if you were to order this item and have it shipped to someone as a gift, it is beautifully wrapped in ribbons and ready to be opened. The diaper bag is a good size and nicely made. The teddy is so soft you can hardly believe it! The blanket and booties are made from the same material and are also very nice. The blanket is a large 'stroller size' so that your baby won't out grow it in just a few months time. The personalization turned out beautiful as well.

The Baby Gift Basket Co. is offering the same gift basket to one of my readers.

Recently, I was sent a packege to review from Skin Free including a fun product from their Mother-Baby line. It is called Whipped Tamanu Body Butter and is made from Tamanu oil.

"The Polynesians discovered the healing and protective properties of Tamanu oil centuries ago. We have combined the delicious Tamanu oil with Olive and Shea to make a remarkable whipped butter."

Pharmacist formulated and doctor recommended patented formulas for delicate, sensitive and very dry or damaged skin.

• All Natural, Vegan Ingredients
• No Perfumes
• No Petroleum Products
• No Harmful Chemicals
• No Steroids
• No Colorants
• No Greasy feeling
• No Animal Testing, Cruelty Free

I am currently pregnant with my last baby and I am seriously hoping to make it through without getting any stretch marks. I got one stretch mark the last week or two of my last pregnancy and I'm hoping to not add any more with this pregnancy. Tamanu oil is supposed to be healing and very good for you so I plan to use this through the remainder of my pregnancy in hopes of healthy skin. I have tried this out and it is not greasy at all. I can't wait to find out if it will hold off the stretch marks or help the one I have disappear.

Slumber Sounds Review & Giveaway - 12/5

Slumber Sounds is a fun company that offers many different items to help your baby sleep soundly. They carry so many things such as colic remedies, wraps, music, dolls, safety blankets, teething aids, baby massage items and more. The item that they sent me for review was this Music for Babies CD.

This CD has over 45 minutes of soothing music with sounds such as moms heartbeat mixed in to calm your baby and put him/her to sleep. The three songs it includes are 'twinkle, twinkle little star', 'Mary had a little lamb' and 'Lullaby and Goodnight'.

Dropper Stopper Review & Offer

I have come across this new product called the dropper stopper that is being released this month. I was lucky enough to receive one to write a review just for you.

It has a ton of different uses, all to protect your baby from germs and keep you from playing the 'pick-up' game. They come in cute patterns for boys and girls both. The thing I loved the most about it is that it is sizable. It has 5 different fasteners so that it can hold larger or smaller items. It can also be short or longer. It can hold bottles, cups, toys, pacifiers, or whatever else you can come up with.

They are releasing this product this month and if you go to their site and email them to get on the waiting list and mention that you saw them here they will give you free shipping on your order. You will receive your items mid-December, just in time for the holidays.

Bebe au Lait - Review & Giveaway - 12/3

I received this adorable hooded baby towel from Bebe au Lait this week and I just love it!
It is the Papillon design and super thick.

I really like their towel because they have a separate hood instead of having a flap over one of the corners. The design is shown below.

It really is a great size for bathing a baby and it has a convenient hook for hanging the towel up when you are finished using it. I love the cotton terry fabric that it is made from. It is so much thicker than your average baby towel from the store.

Also, something to keep in mind - if you are a parent (or grandparent) who likes to buy matching sets, Bebe au Lait carries nursing covers, burp rags, and bibs in the same colors/patterns. (They also carry organics and jewelry.) The links in this review are all connected to the Papillon design, but they carry many cute designs on their website, boy, girl or neutral. Make sure you drop by and check out the bibs. They are unlike any bib I have ever seen before! (And I've seen lots and lots of bibs in my years of being a mother.)

Bebe au Lait has many products available for purchase (think Christmas!) on their site. I believe these to be very high quality products and hope to own more of them for my family and new baby in the future. They are offering to giveaway one baby or toddler size hooded towel to one of my readers.

Cheeky Umbrella Kids Review

I am excited to have Cheeky Umbrella on the blog again. They have a new line out just for kids. These umbrellas are so cute you just can't resist and my kids LOVE umbrellas!

I received this 'Warning: I Splash' kids umbrella for review and it is awesome. I can't wait for my daughter to get to use it. She's gonna love it!

It is a really cute little whit umbrella with lime green graphics and text. It is just the right size for a child to use. (Approximately 31" in diameter when open, approximately 25" in length from end-to-end when closed) I love that it locks in the closed position so that your child can't fling it open in the house. This is a great feature! It also comes with the Cheeky Umbrella Lifetime Warranty. Head over to Cheeky Umberella and check out all of the new kids designs by clicking here.

Tutu Guru Review & Giveaway - 12/2

I am super excited about this review & giveaway offered by Tutu Guru, which is an awesome ebay store! She sent me this absolutely adorable lavender tutu and headband in teeny tiny size. I actually squealed when I opened the box! I can't wait to dress my baby in this when she is born. I am taking it to the hospital with me because they do newborn pictures there and this is what she will be wearing for them! This tutu is so perfect. It isn't at all droopy or thin looking. She does an amazing job making these tutus. The headband is made with a great quality flower and looks wonderful! These are going to make my baby's first pictures wonderful!

Want to win one for your little princess? Tutu Guru is offering to give one away to one of my lucky readers!

Sprout Baby - Review & Giveaway - 12/1

I am excited to have Sprout Baby on the blog again. This time they sent me two of their glass baby bottles to review. I received the Lifefactory Wee Go 9oz glass bottle and the Born Free 5oz glass bottle.

I'll admit, I am skeptical of glass baby bottles. They just don't seem safe. I mean, babies throw things and don't we as parents try to keep glass things AWAY from our babies? So why make baby bottles out of glass right? But I dropped both of these on the ground, half expecting them to shatter all over my kitchen, and neither of them broke. The Lifefactory Wee Go 9oz glass bottle is in a silicone cover - which made me feel a little better about it, but like I said - neither of them shattered so I guess I was wrong. There are things I like about each of them. My favorite thing about the Lifefactory Wee Go 9oz glass bottle is the silicone cover. I think this would make anyone feel better about the bottle getting dropped (or thrown). I like the shape of the nipple btter on the Born Free 5oz glass bottle though. It seems the most natural out of the two nipples. And there is an option to purchase a silicone sleeve for this one as well to prevent breakage. So like I said before, I like them both - BUT the Born Free 5oz glass bottle is my favorite.

Also - In honor of SproutBaby's 1st Birthday Celebration, Sproutbaby wants to spoil one of its lucky customers with a $2,500 prize. Every purchase made at www.sproutbaby.com between Oct. 15 and Dec. 15, 2009 automatically enters you for a chance to win.

Sprout Baby is offering one of my reader the smae 2 bottles I recieved so you can try them out for yourself.

Grandma El's - Review & Giveaway - 11/25

I am happy to introduce you to a company I have come across called Grandma El's. They make diaper rash remedy & prevention, baby shampoo and baby wash. I was sent a tube of the diaper rash remedy and prevention to test out. You can get a free sample packet here.

This is a great product! It is smooth and breathable. I'm so glad that I found this product before I was done having babies. It is Doctor recommended as well. You should also know that it is cloth diaper friendly. You can buy it online, but it is also available at Target and Babies R Us.

This diaper rash ointment isn't white, nasty and pasty, it is clear and smooth. I would compare it to neosporin or something similar to that texture.

It can also be used for:
Cradle Cap
Chapped Cheeks
Sunburn
Dry Nose
Eczema
Cracked Heels
Cuticles
Rough Elbows
Heat Rash
Stretch-mark Reduction
Cold Sores
Razor Burn
Chapped Lips
Cuts & Scrapes
Burns
Soften Callus
Scar Reduction
Dry Patches

Grandma El's is offering one of my readers a 2oz tube of the diaper rash remedy & prevention.

How to Enter: US Only
