Scentsy with Giveaway **Closed**

Scentsy has been around in the US since 2004 and just came to Canada in October of this year. They say they are like a wickless candle, but really they are a lot more. The only way I can describe it is to say that they are similar to those candles where you put the wax on the top warmer and a tea light in the bottom and the heat from the candle melts the wax and you get a nice scent throughout your house. Well Scentsy makes there's in much bigger sizes with a small wattage light bulb instead of the tea light.


Scentsy warmers are much safer than the other type because there is no open flame. With kids around you don't need to worry about it being knocked over or about them burning themselves. You just plug them in and watch your house fill up with great fragrances.

Speaking of fragrances, Scentsy has over 80 fragrances and almost as many warmers with a new one being added monthly. They have every scent you could imagine. You can also take any of those 80 fragrances and mix and match them with others to create your own unique scent.


In addition to great products, Scentsy offers fabulous entrepreneurial opportunities for mothers. Scentsy consultants have had astounding success south of the border, and since Scentsy’s October launch in Canada it has been warmly received, with the number of Canadian Scentsy consultants growing at an exponential rate. Scentsy is a highly regarded family-run business and is proud to be an active member of the Direct Selling Association.


You can also have a Scentsy party! Go online to Scentsy and find a consultant in your area and have a party and earn free rewards! This is just like Epicure, Discovery toys, Usborne books, and Norwex. Evverything is very reasonable priced with warmers at $36 and scent bars at $6 or 3 for $17.

I was sent a red snowflake warmer with Christmas tree, Cranberry spice, and White tea and Cactus scents. They come in 6 cubes so you can add as few or as many as you want. I just added all 6 and when I wanted to change scents you warm up the wax and pour it back into the container it came out of to reuse again later.

So far we have used the Christmas tree scent which I loved and my husband didn't like. And the Cranberry spice though so far we both love! Scents are something that is so personal you won't love them all but there will definitely be some that you can't live without! I can't wait to order some more scents to add to my collection.

Scentsy has offered up a warmer and two scent bars of your choice to one lucky winner!

Inspired by Finn with Giveaway **Closed**

Rachel, the creator of Inspired by Finn creates and sells baltic amber and hazelwood necklaces, bracelets and more. If you have not heard about baltic amber and hazelwood necklaces let me tell you all about them.

To start Baltic amber is not a stone, but a fossilized tree resin. Historically, Baltic Amber has been used in Europe as a natural and traditional remedy and curative for many ailments for centuries. Long ago it was considered one of the leading ‘medicines’ of its time. Baltic Amber is the most esteemed amber in the world, and the healing qualities of Baltic Amber make it unlike any other type of amber found in the world.

When baltic amber is worn on the skin, the skin’s warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acid and are absorbed into the skin. Baltic Amber has some of the highest concentrations of Succinic Acid found in nature, and this is what makes it so special. Succinic Acid is a natural component of plant and animal tissues, and it's presence in the human body is beneficial in many ways including:

• pain relief
• boosting your immune system
• restoring energy
• maintaining wellness
• chronic inflammation
• and more

Now about Hazelwood. Hazelwood is an ancient remedy first used by aboriginal people -- It has the medicinal property of neutralizing the body's acidity.

It relieves or prevents ailments such as ulcers, acid reflux, heartburn, skin problems (psoriasis, eczema, acne), arthritis, constipation, migraines, sensitive & bleeding gums, helps reduce dental cavities and more. These necklaces are a great remedy for heartburn and nausea during pregnancy!

Hazelwood necklaces are made from the branches of a hazelwood tree alternated with glass and/or gemstone beads for ornamentation. They are handmade - from the gathering of the wood to the stringing of the beads.

In order to receive a therapeutic benefit the necklace must be worn as much as possible - for adults, we recommend wearing the necklace over night as well as during the day. It is also recommended to wear the necklace while bathing. Keeping the hazelwood moist aids the body in absorbing the beneficial properties of the Hazelwood.

The life span of the necklace will depend on the level of acidity of the body. In general, a necklace will maintain its medicinal benefits for 6 –12 months. Higher acidity may mean a shorter lifespan of the necklace. A necklace is losing effectiveness when the ends of the wood beads darken and/or symptoms return.

Brandon was sent a combo necklace. Mostly Hazelwood but it has amber beads on it instead of decorative beads. Brandon and I both suffer from eczema. Since wearing the Inspired by Finn necklace his eczema didn't even show up for a lot longer than it usually does and then when it did show up it was not nearly as bad as it usually is. I am a very happy mama!

It is heartbreaking to see your little one so dry and itchy and irritable. He doesn't really know what is wrong and you can only do so much to make it better! Well I am happy that I have found something that works for him. Like I said it making his eczema so much better, less often and when it does come out its not as bad!

If you or someone in your family has always wanted to try one of these, this is your chance. Inspired by Finn has offered one of my readers any necklace or bracelet from her site up to 17 inches long.

To Enter:

Go to Inspired by Finn and tell me which one is your favorite

Kalencom with Giveaway **Closed**

Kalencom was founded in 1971. Both their corporate headquarters and main plant are located in New Orleans. Kalencom sells many different products including diaper bags, on the go pottys, and seatbelt snoozers.

There are so many diaper bags out there now comparted to when my daughter was born 7 years ago. It seems like it anyways. There are also a lot of nice ones and a lot of not so nice ones. Once you know what you are looking for it can be a lot easier to tell which ones are great and which ones are not.

We were able to get a quilted OZZ diaper bag from Kalencom. This diaper bag is an amazing color, Morocco Teal, and comes in other great colors as well. Its a great size, not huge but definetly holds a lot. It has the bottle holders on the sides and an easy magnet close. Here are some of the other features:

• A magnetic clip keeps the top flap closed.
• Roomy interior with 3 pockets and 2 elastic bottle holder loops - 2 outside pockets.
• Adjustable shoulder strap.
• Detachable stroller straps.
• Matching ThinsulateTM insulated bottle bag.
• Coordinating zippered pouch.
• Large fold-out padded changing pad.
• Dimensions: 13"L x 5"W x 12.50"H

Kalencom Diaper Bags are AZO free. We use no Phthalates/DEHP, DBP, or BOP in our PVC. This is huge for me. Why would I want to buy a diaperbag that is going to give off poisonus gasses that will hurt my baby and me. They are a good price too at $70.

Kalencom has offered another OZZ diaper bag for one of my readers (based on availability)

To Enter:

Go to Kalencom and tell me which diaper bag is your favorite

Zutano sent Brandon an adorable tractor outfit from their toddler line. I can say without a doubt that this is an adorable, well made clothing line and would make an amazing gift! This is something that I would have loved to have received with either of my kids. Its so hard to find well made, well fitting, and of course adorable clothing for babies.


They don't necessarily wear these sizes for what seems like very long but when you think about how many outfits a day they are going through, they do wear each outfit a lot of times. It is most definitely important to have them in something soft and comfortable!

Zutano has offered one of my readers a $75 gift certificate to their Itzy Bitzy line (which is preemie and newborn clothes only)

To Enter:

Around here we have some pretty high standards. We craft our shoes from the highest quality nappa and nubuck leather, with carefully constructed lasts. Our manufacturing process includes more than twenty quality control checks to ensure that every pair of shoes meets our standards.

Cheeky Umbrella

Cheeky Umbrella founder Jen Zurowski never even owned an umbrella before she moved to the notoriously rainy city of Vancouver, BC on the west coast of Canada. After searching high and low for an umbrella that would stand up to the wind and rain, and yet still reflect her style and personality, the idea for Cheeky Umbrella was born.

Cheeky Umbrella's products are based on a belief in embracing and enjoying the rain. Each umbrella is designed to brighten a rainy day with: stylish designs that make you look and feel good, sassy statements that bring a smile to your face, and strength to keep you dry and protected.

I live on Vancouver Island in BC and the rain here is intense. It is always raining and is windy a lot. Its basically something that you just learn to suck up. I have never found an umbrella like Jens's Cheeky Umbrellas.

Of course, nothing puts a damper on a rainy day than a broken umbrella, so quality is a top priority for them. Each Cheeky Umbrella is made with an aluminum shaft and fiberglass ribs that make it light to carry, yet strong and flexible in order to withstand the gusts and downpours of the wettest cities. The umbrellas are also made with pongee fabric that is durable, fade-resistant and quick-drying, as well as soft to the touch. The simple pushbutton function on each umbrella makes it quick and easy to open, and the hook handle is comfortable and slip-resistant. We believe so strongly in the quality of our workmanship and materials that they offer a Lifetime Warranty on all our products.

How does a lifetime warranty make you feel? It tells me without even seeing the umbrella that its great quality. After seeing the umbrella I so agree. The quality is like nothing I have ever seen. Seriously I won't ever have to buy myself another umbrella. The best part of this umbrella for me, other than the quality, was the cute little saying on the inside. Mine said "This is shopping weather." They have a quote to suit everyone!

At just over $40 these umbrellas are a great investment. Its the only one you will ever need. Cheeky Umbrella has offered my readers 10% off of their purchase until the end of the year. Use code FUNKY to get your discount!

More winners tonight!

So we have some more winners tonight!

Stortz and Associates Inc with giveaway **Closed**

We received a Sprig truck from Stortz and Associates Inc. Brandon loves this truck. As soon as it came out of the box he went to town playing with it. I loved that there was not a lot of packaging to go along with it, just some recycled cardboard that I could pull right off with out pliers and a knife and three men prying at it to get it open.

Its easy for small hands to manipulate but still lots of fun for older kids. This is a long lasting toy that your son or daughter, yes daughter, can enjoy for many years! The digger goes up and down and the cab can open so you can put someone in it.

Here's a bit more about the Sprig Eco Trucks:

Three great trucks offer traditional fun with eco friendly materials. Manufactured in Europe out of Sprigwood, a Canadian-made bio-composite using recycled plastic food containers and sawdust, this excavator, dumptruck and front loader smell like a BC pine forest. Manufactured in Europe. Lots of knobs and levers encourage fine motor skills for active play indoors or out.



Digging, loading and dumping. That’s a tried-and-true formula for dirt pile and sandbox fun that we simply won’t mess with. Sprig Eco-Trucks are fully equipped with flip-open cabs and easy-grab handles, making each freewheeling vehicle inviting and a cinch to maneuver.

The scooping action and rotating chassis of the Excavator turns serious digging into child’s play. The Loader does the trio’s heavy lifting, and the Dump Truck gets the job done with its tilting cab, locking bed and swing-out tailgate.

The playful, cartoon-like designs of our chunky vehicles make them irresistible to preschoolers, and parents love the eco-friendly, battery-free, kid-powered construction. Recommended for ages 3 and up.

Stortz and Associates Inc. carries all sorts of toys for kids of all ages. Check them out for ideas if you are still doing some Christmas shopping!

Stortz and Associates Inc. has offered one of my readers a Sprig Eco Truck!

All our Dezign Wall Decals are manufactured in the US!

We received some adorable decals from Dezign with a Z! Kristina got some butterflies to go in her room and Brandon got a whole bunch of dots all in different shades of blue for his room! I put Kristina's butterfly's up right away. She loved them and noticed right away that they were all different. I thought it was two sets of two identical butterfly's, but as no two butterfly's are the same and Dezign with a Z kept that in mind when designing their butterfly's!

I am so excited to paint Brandon's room and put up the dots. I have his room painted in camo right now and I am not very happy with it. It looks ok from a distance but as soon as you get closer to it you can tell I did it by hand and its all uneven and the edges of all of the shapes are very sloppy.

Having these pages of dots makes me even more excited to repaint a solid color and have some professional shapes put up. It will just make his room look that much more put together!

Kristina's decals were so easy to put up. All you do is peel off the clear side of the decal and place it where you want it on the wall. Then you take something like a credit card and rub the back of it to get all of the bubbles out and get it nice and stuck to the wall. You just peel of the back page of the decal and presto. You have a gorgeous wall!

Dezign with a Z has a great sale on right now. Check it out and save! $10 off and a free dot pack!

C Elizabeth Designs with Giveaway **Closed**

Brandon recently got some letters on his wall that spell his name and Kristina really wanted some of her own. C Elizabeth Designs was kind enough to send her some of her own! She sent us Kristina's three initials! KLW. Kristina could not have been happier when her package arrived! She was so in love with her letters that she wanted to put them up as soon as we got home.

Its nice that she has something special that is all about her, not just something that she likes or is cool but is her name! It is something that will grow with her and she can keep in her hope chest once she grows up.

The quality of these letters blew me away. The glue isn't coming off anywhere, you can't even tell that the paper is glued on, its like its part of the letter.

Thanks to everyone who entered! Keep checking in as I add new giveaways regularly!

Pampers "A Parent is Born" Blog Tour

Right now there is a new blog tour going on through Mom Central and Pampers. This is the Pampers “A Parent is Born” Blog Tour.


New parents are born everyday, and one of the first things they need comes from other Moms - tips and advice from those who have been through these trenches before! As a Mom you inevitably find yourself filled with experience and knowledge that new parents need, and we would love for you to share this information with them.


Pampers hopes you can help us create a Pampers Tips Sheet for new and expecting Canadian parents filled with your best parenting tips and those of your readers. We’ll pick the best advice and publish it in the Pampers Online Tips Sheet for new parents.

The top 25 tips (as voted by our Mom Central judges) will receive a $20 gift card, while one grand prize winner will receive $500. Plus, your tip might earn inclusion in the Tips Sheet for all new and expecting parents to see.

I wanted to let Moms know how they can enter their best tips for a chance to win a gift certificate and inclusion in the published Pampers Tips Sheet.


You can enter tips on http://www.momcentral.com/ until December 10th.


Some of the best parenting tips I received were:


- sleep when your baby sleeps, I am sure you have all heard that
- take care of yourself - a happy mommy makes for a happy baby!
- trust yourself, mothers intuition is priceless - trust it!


Other than the obvious tips for new moms they are specifically looking for tips in 2 themes:


- How to Cope with Going Back To Work (Ways mom can prepare for D-day and ways to soothe the unease.


- Baby/Mommy sleep tips (Tips to help baby and mom get enough rest!)


The more original and helpful the advice, the better chance you have at winning!


Good Luck to all! Make sure you enter by December 10th at Mom Central for a chance to win one of 25 gift cards ($20 each) or the grand prize of $500 (full contest details will be available on the website)!

Disclosure: I wrote this post while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central and received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate

DapperLads

The owner of DapperLads, Becky Rosen, has three sons. Finding clothes for her boys, especially after they were out of the toddler years, was a struggle. Boys, and moms of boys, should be able to find variety and have fun with their clothes, too, she thought. And thus began DapperLads, a store devoted to providing interesting, fun and hard to find dressy clothes just for boys.

After a lot of great feedback from her DapperLads customers, Becky was inspired to provide a great selection of similar clothing for the daughters and grand-daughters of so many of her customers.

DapperLads carries mostly dressy wear for boys and girls. Lots of tuxes, ties, dress shirts, shoes, dresses and more. They also carry suspenders which can be very difficult to find. Their prices are very comparable to other stores out there.

Dapperlads sent us a magnetic belt for Brandon and its very nice. Its definitely a good quality belt, its very sturdy. Its not going to break the first time you use it that's for sure.

This would be a great place to pick up a great Christmas outfit for your child or grandchild. Check it out! They carry up to a child's size 20! That's huge! That's definitely teenager sizes all the way down to newborn!

Eazz Wraps with Giveaway **Closed**

Melinda Ott, mother of four, created Eazz Wraps in 2007 and named it for her own children: elijah, ari, and twins zachary and zoey ("e-a-z-z"). She began sewing her blankets because nothing on the market was correctly sized for twins. Every item is designed hand-sewn from organic fabrics. There passion: creating healthy, hypoallergenic baby products with a new mother's specific needs in mind. They are dedicated to creating products which your child will enjoy for years, and may even be passed along as your child grows.



There generously-sized products can accommodate twins, triplets––but moms of preemies love them, too. For instance, the all-in-one blanket is large enough not only to keep baby cozy, but also to allow mom to breastfeed in public, modestly. Lush ribbons affixed along the blanket's edges provide a tactile signal to your baby that it's time to nurse. The crib sheets are made with a large continuous elastic band, to stay secure on all mattresses––even with a mattress pad underneath. And although they are all made by hand, all of our products are (whew!) completely washer-friendly.



Eazz Wraps creates their products with organically-grown fibers: cotton, hemp, and bamboo. Unlike synthetic fabrics spun from petroleum products, our fibers are created from plants grown of Mother Earth. Because these plants are organically grown, no insecticides, pesticides or other toxic residues come into contact with your baby––or you!

We got an all in one blanket for Brandon. Made with all organic fibers and very generously sized this blanket will be around for a long time. Brandon sleeps in a twin and has a nice cozy comforter already but he takes this blanket to bed every night with him and he cuddles with it. He loves this blanket, its the first one that he has ever gotten attached to.

When we first got it he sat on the couch with it watching cartoons and chewing on the little tags that stick out on the one side. He has carried it around ever since. I love that there are no chemicals within his new blankie! And the best part, other than being made by another mom, its made right in the USA!!!

Eazz Wraps has offered free shipping to all of my readers, just order through the contact me tab on her site and let her know in the comment section that you get free shipping from Fun and Funky Mommy. The free shipping is valid until December 31st 2009.

They have also offered one reader the chance to win a set of burp cloths for either a boy or girl!

EcoStore USA is having a big sale **Giveaway added**

EcoStore was started up in New Zealand 15 years ago. Melanie and Malcolm Rands opened up this store from their home in an eco village in New Zealand.

All of the families that lived in the farm based eco village shared a commitment to organic growing and healthy living, making this an ideal environment in which a young, environmentally conscious business could thrive. Each household in the village was responsible for their own waste water, which quickly highlighted the problems caused by using regular supermarket cleaning products that relied heavily on cheap, petroleum-based, synthetic ingredients.


Faced with the challenge of protecting the pristine rural waterways of the eco village, Malcolm Rands began to research and seek expert help from scientists to develop household cleaning products using plant-based ingredients that would biodegrade safely and quickly. Achieving his goal, he eliminated the need to use toxic chemicals, leaving the eco villages water pure. His goal was more than accomplished as the product line of this home-based business began to grow, and an exciting future began to unfold.

They now have a EcoStore USA and they carry so much more than just cleaning products. They carry a baby line, a bath and body care line, pet essentials, household items, and more!


We got to try out the citrus spray cleaner and the cream cleanser. They are awesome prices at only $9.00 on for $5.50 and $7.50 on for $4.50. With prices like those even cost can't stand in the way of buying natural cleaners. Those prices are the same if not better than the big box store prices. They even have free shipping on orders of $25 or more right now.


I used the cream cleanser first on my bathtub. I hate to admit out here in cyber world how gross it was but it was bad. I was waiting to clean it until my new cleaner arrived and so the grime build up was pretty bad. This cleanser worked awesome. I just squirted some around my tub and took out my scrubber and went to town. The cleanser definitely did its job. It didn't take nearly as much scrubbing as it could have. I have to say that it worked just as well as any other cream cleanser I have tried. At these prices I will definitely being getting more when I run out.

That's something else I need to touch on, you don't need much at all. A little will most definitely go along way. I also used this cream cleaner on my toilet and again it worked great. Its nice to find a cleaning product that you can use for more than one thing.


The citrus spray cleaner was great as well. Are you surprised? I was. I can't stand using spray cleansers on my kitchen counters. I find they all leave a residue and I hate knowing that there are chemicals sitting on my counters where I am preparing my families food. I would rather germs than harmful chemicals.

Now you don't have to choose. I tried out this spray on my counters and wiped them all down and then rubbed my hand along the counter and couldn't feel a thing. I feel very good using this spray on my counters and then putting food on them right after with no worry of chemicals getting onto my families food.

EcoStore USA has a great sale on right now. Right now all plant and mineral based products are 40% off for the rest of the year. You also get free shipping on orders of $25 of more. They would make great stocking stuffers for your wife or mother, I don't know why but I don't think that my husband would enjoy it. They would also make great gifts for secret Santa exchanges or more natural oriented family members!

EcoStore USA has decided to do a giveaway for you all as well! They have offered one winner a $25 e-commerce gift cerficate good for anything on their site!

Go to EcoStore USA and tell me what your favorite product is other than what I already mentioned here

TML Creations with Giveaway **Closed**

Here's a little bit about Tracy, the owner and artist behind TML Creations:


I have been creating and selling watercolor paintings for the last 20 years. In the past, I sold most of my paintings through a variety of galleries throughout New England. The subject matter primarily depicted realistic versions of New England's wildlife and countryside. I have also ventured into painting these same scenes as murals on many walls in businesses and private residences.Additionally, during this time, I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a bachelors degree in Art Education, and went on to teach for 8 years in various school systems in Maine. I also fell in love, got married, and had three wonderful children.Currently I work from home painting and selling artwork. The artwork I create is bright, cheerful, and imaginative; perfect for decorating children's rooms, bathrooms, and any space that needs a happy and heartwarming decorative finish.

TML Creations creates original watercolor paintings and giclee prints for people of all ages. Colorful and whimsical artwork is added to the store every week so be sure to check in often.


We received the Dump Truck and Excavator print for Brandons room. I love it. It can go with any decor and you can make your own with whatever frame you want to get for it. You can get a few prints and do up a collage of them all or just do one as the center piece in your child's room.

TML Creations has offered one of my readers an 8x10 print of their own. Your choice!
