My Beautiful Girl with Giveaway **Closed**

Sam of My Beautiful Girl is a stay at home/work at home mom who lives in Colorado with 3 going on 4 kids. Her oldest is 10 and the youngest is due to arrive in February. Its so easy to think that you know what kids like and what it a great item that you need to have for your baby but you really don't know until you have kids.



Because Sam has 4 (almost) kids she really knows what kids like, need and what works well for them. She knows how to size things and how to make them the most helpful they can be. She has been sewing for 15 years so she knows her stuff! She sells wet bags, purses, cloth diapers, undies and more!

You know the undies you can get in stores? You know how you have to go up a size or so and they still give your little one a wedgie? It isn't just me is it? The but just never seems big enough.

The boxer shorts I got for Brandon are awesome. I got him a size 2 and they are a bit big for him but they definitely work. The size 2 undies I have for him from big box stores are a little snug in the bum and I can see that he will outgrow them very soon.

I am generally a pretty cheap person but I am most definitely willing to spend a little more when the quality is much better and they are going to fit right and last longer.

The first thing that attracted me to My Beautiful Girl was her prints of fabric that she uses for her undies. She really has some adorable prints available. Brandon loves the bikes and frogs on his.


Sam does a lot of custom work so there is a limited amount to purchase on her site but you can just convo her and she will make you whatever you want!

One lucky winner will receive two pairs of undies from My Beautiful Girl! (Sam will pick the prints)

Episencial


Episencial's high quality products are inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s favorite fruits from The World of Eric Carle. Designed with green values in mind, Episencial products are:

-professional quality at an unbeatable price
-baby safe for the most sensitive skin – ages 0 to 150
-enhances immunity with doctor recommended, clinically effective formulas
-free from all the bad stuff – no synthetic chemicals
-smells terrific with real fruit juice extracts – not fragrances
-made exclusively with all natural ingredients and lots of organics
-beautifully packaged in recycled and sustainable materials – phthalate and BpA free
-featuring art beloved by children for generations, Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar
-manufactured under solar power

Episencials was created by Kim Walls, a skin care expert and mom. She knew what other parents were looking for in skin care products for their children and she sought out to provide it for them. She wanted it to be affordable and as natural as possible.

What they created is awsome! They now carry a large line of products for babies and children including sunscreen, moisturizers, body wash, diaper rash cream, bubble bath and more!

We were lucky enough to try out samples of all of the items in the baby and childrens line before they were even on the shelves of stores. I didn't really get enough of each product to try them out for long but what I did get to try I was quite happy with. Now that the line is fully out there you can try it for youselves to see.

I have to say that other than the fact that this is a very green product, organic and natural, the price is my favorite part.

Hazelaid with Giveaway **Closed**

About Hazelaid:

All-natural, organic, handmade hazelwood necklaces that provide relief from eczema, acid reflux, teething pain, etc.

Hazelaid was born when our family was introduced to the amazing healing properties of hazelwood products. Our daughter was suffering with severe eczema when we were told about these necklaces. We tried them out and within 2 weeks of her wearing it, her eczema was gone. That was the beginning of our journey with hazelwood necklaces. We have since seen them help many others with so many issues.

These necklaces made with pieces of wood from the hazelnut tree have the unique property of absorbing the excess acid produced in our bodies when it is in contact with our skin.

Hazelwood necklaces were originally used by native americans to help alleviate their babies' teething pains. They have since been shown to help with numerous other ailments all related to an imbalance of acidity in the body.

Our necklaces come in adorable child models, fashionable adult models, as well as bracelets and anklets.

If you suffer from:
-Arthritis
-Osteoporosis
-Acid reflux
-Heart burn
-Ulcers
-Acne
-Cold sores
-Eczema
-Headaches
-Migraines

...it is highly probable that you are suffering from an acidity imbalance. These hazelwood necklaces can help you alleviate these symptoms in a natural way.

The use of hazelwood originated long ago when Aboriginal people would put hazelwood chips on their babies’ necks to soothe teething pains. In 2002, a Quebec couple with children did some research and rediscovered that this tree, indigenous to the province, yields many other health benefits. Since then, hazelwood has grown in popularity as more and more people have experienced it’s benefits. The hazelwood necklaces we sell are 100% natural and handmade from organically grown hazelwood trees.

Hazelwood health benefits are well known to Aboriginal people, but are just now coming to light for many North Americans. How does it work? Acidity is a major component of the pain associated with a child's teething period. Hazelwood, being an alkaline wood, has the natural property of absorbing and neutralizing the body's acidity through contact with the skin. By doing so, the necklaces can also help children with digestion, constipation, and eczema. The necklaces are not just for children, they are really for the whole family. They help teenagers and adults relieve or prevent ailments such as migraines, acid reflux, heart burn, nausea, arthritis, skin problems etc. There are no known allergy issues to this product because it is made with the hazelwood branch, not the nut.

About Amber:

Amber is not a “stone” but a natural resin. So as it warms with the body’s natural temperature, amber releases its healing oils (these oils contain succinic acid) which are easily absorbed into the skin and then into the bloodstream. 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.

Amber is also known to reduce inflammation of the throat, ear and stomach and to fight irritation, infections and respiratory disease as it dramatically improves the body’s immunity. Natural amber beaded necklaces are a completely non-invasive remedy for side effects associated with teething, such as lack of appetite, redness in the cheeks, swollen gums, diaper rashes, upset tummies, earache, fevers and colds. Baltic amber is also a natural analgesic that will calm your child and is recognized by allopathic medicine specialists as antispasmodic and anti-fever. Many adults report improvement of arthritis discomfort and carpal tunnel pain in their hands when wearing amber on the wrists.

I was sent a few necklaces from Hazelaid (we paid cost) and so far I love them. I got one for myself and two for Brandon both of which were hazelwood and amber. Depending on the level of acidity in your body the necklaces can last anywhere from 6 months to one year. I have eczema and so does Brandon. I was unsure of how well they would work even though I have heard from so many people how great they are. I really wanted to try out one for Brandon and this was my chance.

We both put them on before we even left the post office. I am happy to say about a month later I have yet to see Brandon's eczema come back and mine is not anywhere near as bad as it usually is by now! That is priceless to me, honestly!

Check out all the great benefits of Amber and Hazelwood for you and your family! Of course Hazelaid has a great giveaway for you! You can win your choice of necklace, bracelet or anklet in a child's or adults size! Everyone can take advantage of 10% off anything in her store! Just let her know in the comments section of paypal that you read about her on Fun and Funky Mommy

HALO SleepSacks

Designed by a parent who lost an infant to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), and now being used in hospital nurseries nationwide, the HALO® SleepSack™ wearable blanket replaces loose bedding in the crib that can cover your baby's face and interfere with breathing. It's the only product that carries seals from leading SIDS organizations in both the U.S. and Canada.

The Safer Way to Sleep®Regular baby blankets in the crib can be dangerous! The HALO® SleepSack™ wearable blanket eliminates the need for loose blankets and is the #1 choice of parents and leading experts for keeping your baby safe and warm all night long.

Remember that "BACK IS BEST®" for babies safest sleep.


We were lucky enough to receive a three piece PJ set for Brandon in the Technical Comfort System® Layette line made with Coolmax® Fabric.

A breakthrough in infant comfort and healthy skin. HALO offers a full line of apparel with innovative Coolmax® fabric to help keep baby dry and comfortable all year long.

These PJ's promote comfort and healthy skin for babies all year round! According to the American Academy of Pediatrics more than half of all infants between 4 months and 15 months of age develop skin rashes. Now Halo offers you a full line of apparel with innovative Coolmax® fabric to help keep baby dry and comfortable all year long.


These jammies are made of polyester and are super warm. They really don't look it and I was quite hesitant, thinking that they wouldn't be warm enough for him at all. They are quite thin and not flannel or anything. When I showed them to my Mother-In-Law she said that they would be so warm and would also make great long johns underneath his clothes on very cold days. Apparently this is what lots of outdoors gear is made of.


So it turns out that they are really warm. And to top it off they are sized huge. Brandon's PJ's are all a 2 or 2/3 and these were a 24 months and huge on him. There was a long sleeved onsie, a long sleeve shirt and pants. They were all huge. They will last just as long as a pair of regular size 3 jammies.


This is great though, don't get me wrong. Bigger is always bigger in my opinion.


Here are a few on the features of these PJ's:


- Made with CoolMax® fabric, wicks moisture to keep skin dry. Great for sensitive skin conditions.
- Soft, silky feel is friction free and helps reduce irritation and itching
- Fast drying. Helps regulate body temperature for greater comfort
- Helps prevent skin rashes by wicking moisture from delicate skin
- Smooth seams prevent irritation at pressure points
- SPF 30
- Parents of children with sensitive skin conditions report marked improvements with regular wear
- Cuff bottom pull on pants with logo waistband
- Available in a rainbow of colors

Whether you are looking for some great new jammies for Christmas or a nice cozy sleep sack for your baby or child look no further than HALO SleepSack! They can be purchased at Babies R US and check out their Facebook page!

Shoo-Foo with Giveaway **Closed**

Shoo-Foo loves bamboo and so do I. It seems like a no brainier to me. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth, requiring no more than rain and sunlight to grow plentifully! No fertilizers, no pesticides, no water irrigation, thus no soil pollution, no soil erosion, no underground water pollution, even no need to reclaim a land to grow BAMBOO because bamboo forests are abundant in nature and do regenerate naturally, without the need to replant.

At Shoo-foo, we LOVE bamboo! We love the softness of bamboo, we love the high absorbency of fabric derived from bamboo, we love how it stays fresh longer, we love its warmth, its softness on our skin during the night or after bathing, we LOVE everything about bamboo!

Those are also a few of the things that I love about Bamboo. I was so excited to receive my bamboo towel and bath mat. I knew that they would be very soft and absorbent, perfect for a towel and bath mat. Add to that the fact that bamboo is antimicrobial this is a dream towel. I have to say that the only thing that I would change is I would get a darker colored bath mat, mine is off white, just so it wouldn't show as much, and I would get a second towel so I had a full set.


How would you like to try out a bath mat from Shoo-Foo?

Go to Shoo-Foo and tell me one other product that I didn't mention that you would like to try

Creativity for Kids with Giveaway **Closed**

I am sure that you have heard of Creativity for Kids before hand and you may not even know it. Creativity for Kids makes many many craft kits and art supplies for kids. Kristina is at the age where she loves crafts and craft kits. Kristina actually got one Creativity for Kids craft kit for her birthday from one of her friends.



Creativity for Kids was founded in 1976 by Phyllis Brody and Evelyn Greenwald. They had a dream that their unique concept of enriching, open-ended creative activities would inspire children all around the world. With hard work, a dedicated mission and respected friendships along the way, their dream became reality.



When I got my box of goodies in the mail from Creativity for Kids Kristina ripped right into it. She couldn't wait to see what was in there for her.

We were very spoiled and got a whole bunch of crafts for Kristina to do. The first thing that I like about these crafts is that it includes every single thing you need to create that kit. I love that you don't need to go out and buy extra pieces, glue, glitter or even scissors.



Kristina was so excited that she wanted to do a craft right away. We only had an hour until I had to go to work so I was hesitant. Of course I caved because she was so excited and I was very happily surprised in how fast the craft was done. She made the My first dress up doll which I thought she would be to old for at 7 when the kit is for 3 and up but she loved it.

It came with a stuffed doll that you got to dress with felt clothes and decorate. She decorated the dress and matching undies with the felt stickers and then she got to dress it and pick its hair color. It came with three colors and you tie it on and then you can always change the color later. She was so proud of herself that she made the doll all by herself and didn't need any help. She loves to play with it and tell people all about how she made it.

We also got an awesome make your own Christmas ornament kit that is going to make some gorgeous ornaments. She and I are both excited to make that one. It comes with 6 snowflake shaped wires that you just need to bead. Nice and easy and it will make a great gift from her this Christmas.

So how would you like to win a Christmas craft kit for your kids or some kids in your life? Well 3 lucky winners, yes 3, are each going to win a Christmas craft kit. The kits are Shrinky Dinks® Holiday Fun, Holiday Memories Festive Felt Stocking, and the Finger Prints Finger Painting Set.

Credo Bags with Giveaway **Closed**

Credo Bags Inc. is an eco-conscious company headquartered in Montreal, Canada. Our goal is to inspire people to make small, simple changes in their everyday habits; changes that collectively and cumulatively help our environment.

We believe that an easy first step is to adopt a “bag strategy”: routinely carry a reusable bag or two with you, rather than use plastic or paper bags provided by retailers.

To promote this shift in habit, our founder and president, Judy Lazar, tapped into her 20 years of apparel manufacturing experience to fulfill a vision that would embody her credo. She designed a stylish line of high-quality, reusable bags that conveniently stash in a purse, pocket , glove compartment or trunk until you need them.

Credo Bags came out with the first made in North America reusable mesh produce bags. I received one for review along with a reusable bulk bag. I had the opportunity to use them on my last grocery shop and they were great. They washed up great, a little wrinkled but I was just going to ball them up and throw them if with my shopping bins so who cares. They hold quite a bit.

All in all I was very happy with them. I will continue to love to put my product and bulk foods in an organic cotton reusable bag instead of those flimsy plastic bags. You know as soon as you get home you unload it all and just toss them all out. What a waste.

Credo Bags carry all sorts of bags. The classic canvas bag, that can be used for everything from groceries to clothing and whatever else you can buy to put in it. Obviously they have produce and bulk bags, they also have a string, mesh like bigger bag like the classic canvas bags. They have bags made from organic cotton, hemp and bamboo.

'

You are sure to find a bag or two that you can't live without. They even have some great gift boxes put together with an assortment of bags that would make a great Christmas gift.

One reader is going to win 4pc. combo pack - 2 produce bags and 2 bulk bags - style C-136 - $20.00

Pedoodles

At Pedoodles they make it their business to ensure growing little feet are surrounded by quality and comfort! That’s why all of their fun-loving 2009 styles are made with super soft, lab tested materials and fitted with recycled PedFlex™ rubber soles that are not only good for toddler toes; they’re good for the Earth as well! This season, they welcomed nine snazzy new, ultra-flexible, Eco-friendly styles to our growing lineup. They’re perfect for the healthy development of toddler feet and feature a generous dose of style — just for fun!
They are a very reasonable priced shoe considering they are great for your childs growing foot, are eco-friendly, and of course, are adorable. They range from $18-$36 and we have an awsome coupon code for you.

We got a pair of Trailblazers for Brandon and I absoltly love them. They have a suede like top and are very light and flexible. I was looking at a cheap shoe store the other day and couldn't believe how heavy their shoes were and how solid the sole. Not the case with Pedoodles. You can fold these shoes in half no problem.



Just a few of the great features of Pedoodles are

PedFlex™ Flat-Rubber Soles
Going barefoot is excellent for foot development, but it isn't always practical. When walking outside or on rough surfaces, tender skin needs to be protected. Our exclusive PedFlex™ flat-rubber soles are the answer. These lightweight and extremely flexible soles provide protection, durability, and traction -- important for outdoor use.

Soft & Flexible
Young feet are incredibly soft and pliable. Any footwear you put on them should be the same. Pedoodles are not the hard, stiff "bucket" shoes of the past. We've designed them to be soft and flexible, with plenty of "wiggle room" for developing toes and feet. Our shoes naturally flex and form to your child's changing feet.

Seamless Footbed
All Pedoodles have soft, flat insoles that create a seamless footbed for tender young feet. The absence of any arch support helps to simulate barefoot walking conditions, which experts recommend.

Now heres the coupon code you have been waiting for! Use code funandfunkymommy for 20% off untill the end of December 2009.

SnackTAXI updated with a giveaway **Closed**

Erin invented SnackTAXIs way back in 2003 as a way to stem the tide of plastic Ziploc bags that flowed from her house to the landfill when her 3 kids started school! They pack over 500 lunches every year, and had definitely fallen prey to the easy appeal of the Ziploc bag.



SnackTAXIs are easy too! In fact, just as easy as the Ziploc bag. Kristina even likes the SnackTAXI more as they come in cute and funky prints. They are a bit more expensive than the Ziploc bag when you first invest, similar to cloth diapers, but the end result is savings. Who can't use to save more money these days.
They come in two main sizes, snack and sandwich each with a fold over top and firm Velcro closure ensuring no spills. You can use them once and wash them if they are dirty or if you are just going to refill with more of the same food you can just refill for a while and then wash when they are dirty or at the end of the week.


We received one of each size, snack and sandwich. They are awesome and we are using them all of the time. This is something anyone can use, not just kids. You can take them to work or the park or school. Just pick prints that you or whoever will be using them will like, they would even make a great stocking stuffer.

Snack Taxi has decided to do a giveaway - one lucky winner will get a snack and a sandwhich bag


To Enter:
Go to Snack Taxi and tell me the name of your favorite print

Fabkins with Giveaway **Closed**


Fabkins are fabulous cloth napkins for kids. They can be used for
  • meals at home
  • waste free lunch out
  • a gift or party favor
  • to take with you when you go out
  • to use at a playtime teaparty
Fabkins was started in early 2007 by two friends and fellow moms. Fabkins was created out of the desire to offer kids a fun and easy way to be a part of saving the environment. Joyce and Paige were both committed to packing �waste-free� lunches for their school-age children but had trouble finding cute cloth napkins that weren�t too formal or too big.

Congrats!!!!

Little Green Star with a great coupon code!

Little Green Star's dream is for us to be green with them. They want to provide families with products that align with their sustainable values. So, whether you buy organic fruits and veggies, drive a hybrid car, or teach kids to recycle, our products are another way to celebrate your way of living.

Little Green Star is about inspiring kids to learn about the world around us and to develop their own ideas on ways to care for the earth. When you do well in school, you get a gold star. When you do well for the environment, you get a green one.

We received a "my dad recycles more than your dad" tee for Brandon in a 3t. Its adorable. Its off white and super soft being an organic cotton tee. The quality is fabulous and the prices are very reasonable for what you are getting. Only $20 for a 100% organic cotton tee printed with water-based inks.

Their sizing is bang on, its the only 3t shirt I have for Brandon that is actually to big. He can get away with it because its short sleeved but it does look sloppy. Definitely go with the size you are, not a size up.

There are lots of cute designs to choose from. There is Bee Green, With a little Devotion we can save the ocean, Ladies don't litter, and My other ride is a hybrid.
Little Green Star has generously offered all of you a great coupon code! This isn't some measly 10% off either. They have offered you 30% off code! That's great on already great prices! Use code 30LGS until December 15th, just in time for Christmas. Feel free to share the coupon with friends and family!

Bling Strands

Bling Strands are the hot new trend for people everywhere! Kids, young women and the young at heart. They easily tie in and they even come with an easy to follow how to DVD. There is no messy glue or tool to buy. Simple and gorgeous. They are manufactured in the United States and their whole line is guaranteed to be lead free, non-toxic and non-flammable.

Those who imitate us cannot say the same--we know because we've purchased their product, talked to their suppliers, and compared to make the best choice for our customers. We have clients who have tried the imitations and come back to tell us that "Bling Strands are THE BEST!"

And, there is no such thing as a Thai Silk hair shimmer--they are nylon! Beware of those who copy us--they can imitate, but they cannot bring you the quality that we can. Who wants something that looks like a piece of plastic hanging in their hair?

Our packaging has been rated as the best on the market, too. No tape or over-sized sleeves to deal with, and you can remove one strand at a time and then store your package until the next time you want to Bling....


We were sent two colors to review. Kristina was so excited to try them out. She loves when we go to the salon and she gets colored extensions put in. They have always been glued in and never lasted long. She has very thick curly hair and they usually brushed out within a few days if not the same day.

When we put the Bling Strands in it started out very frustrating. I couldn't figure out how to tie them in, it looked so easy but I just couldn't do it. I finally got one in and decided to start fresh again later.

I took the opportunity to watch the DVD and it really made a difference. I could go back to it with a fresh mind and not start out frustrated. It worked like a charm! Kristina loves them and I can put them in in no time at all.

She loves to wear a few in each spot or in singles randomly throughout her hair! I love that they are not as bold as a thick solid colored one. They seem much more subtle but can be quite flashy in the right light. Its all in how you Bling!!!

Cosy Baby Happy Mommy with Giveaway **Closed**

Erin Heard is the proud owner of Cosy Baby, Happy Mommy Inc., a small but growing home based business based in Edmonton, Alberta.

Like all companies, ours began as an idea. I had a 6 week old daughter who needed to be held all the time, and a very busy life to go with it. The solution? A wrap! It allowed me to carry my daughter all day and still do everything else; including housework, walks, hikes, and dancing.
I then did some research and found out about mei tai's (a traditional asian style carrier) and proceeded to make one. The mei tai as you know it now has come from a year of constant "upgrades" and changes; padded straps, padded headrest, one size body. In the same time frame, I also tried a few different designs of pouch and ring slings.

The idea of offering affordable, high quality, comfortable baby carriers blossomed and became a small company.

My daughter loved being in a carrier. It gave her the sense of comfort that she craved and she got to explore the world around her from so many vantage points.

We now have a three year old and a one year old, both girls, and both are worn daily in carriers at some point in time. The mei tai is still a huge hit, especially on those long hikes or walks through the mall. And my little one loves to curl up in the wrap and go to sleep or chill out and check out the world around her.

All of the carriers and products are handcrafted with extra attention to comfort and detail.

We were lucky enough to receive a panel wrap. Made out of 100% organic cotton. Breathable, lightweight, and great for traveling. The most versatile carrier; able to carry on back, front (facing in or out), hip, and nursing. Suitable for preemies through toddlers (2-35 lbs). One size fits all.

I love this wrap. I had a similar one when Brandon was born but this one is so absolutely soft and so gorgeous. It has a gorgeous panel on it that adds some individuality and flare to what could be a plain wrap. With so many designs to choose from there is at least one that will suit your taste. You can even get a simple plain one that both you and your partner can wear.

You can wear this wrap so many ways, on your front, back, hip, with baby facing in or out, while nursing. Its even good from Newborn to 35 lbs. This will really grow with your child. Cozy Baby Happy Mommy also carries slings, mei tais, nursing pillows, swaddling blankets, and more!

One very lucky person is going to win a panel wrap in their choice of print!

Fill Your Own with Giveaway **Closed**

It all started when my husband asked for a birthday present... "I would like our household to be greener and not use disposable plastic water bottles. Can you find us some bottles that we can refill on our own?" was his request.

So I researched our options for glass, aluminum and stainless steel and presented him with the available options. We liked aspects of different bottles, but not one had everything we were hoping for. "You could do better" was his comment to me... and so I thought about it.

A week later, Fill Your Own Inc was born. We wanted practical every-day-use water bottles that were also eco-friendly, healthy and safe. We designed our bottles with our 4-year-old daughter in mind which meant quality was very important. And of course, the caps had to be leak proof. Unknowingly, our daughter tested this for us by sleeping with the prototype bottle and yes, her bed was completely dry in the morning.

We also wanted being 'green' to be fun and stylish - we added beautiful artwork to the exterior of our water bottles. Whether for kids or adults, our four different bottle sizes and three different caps are perfect for everyone. We are very proud of our bottles and want to add them to your lifestyle.

Our stainless steel water bottles -
-are from quality 18-8 grade stainless steel (#304)
-use new polypropylene, PP #5 for plastic caps
-are BPA free and phthalates free
-are 100% recyclable
-designed by local artists
-offer 3 types of leak proof caps caps: straw cap, sports spout cap and a twist cap with carabiner
-come in four convenient sizes
-are independently tested in Canada to ensure health, safety, and no leaching
-are carbon neutral and environmentally friendly

We got to try out two of Fill Your Owns bottles. A 350ml Puddle Jumper bottle for Brandon and a 500ml Puppy Power bottle. I love the designs on these bottles. They are playful and fun but no babyish so it really can grow with your child.

Kristina loved hers and wanted to use it right away. Brandon liked his as well but was a bit more patient. I loved the wide mouth and that Brandon, especially, had a straw. He felt like a big boy because it had a straw. Its like a non leaking big boy cup. The only time it leaked was when the lip was off and it was being shaken upside down. With the lid on though you could shake it as hard as you could and it wouldn't leak a drop. Its nice to know that it could roll around in the van and not leak juice all over the place.

Speaking of the lid, it was very easy to open and close. Brandon quite enjoyed opening and closing it. The only bummer is that we have tile floor and its very hard on things, like our sippy cups. They end up thrown on the floor all the time. Sadly the lid of Brandon's cup broke. This has happened many other times with many other sippy cups, so its not the cup, just our darn floor.

Fill Your Own has offered to giveaway one 750ml bottle to one winner. They will get the Green Pocket Person bottle.

OOTS

With a focus on food related necessities for babies and kids, the OOTS! products distinguish themselves from the crowd by offering refreshing, modern designs with real functionality.

The OOTS! design savvy, so far, has been applied to baby bibs, melamine dish sets, and lunch boxes. Other day-to-day products that are screaming for an edgy, original and elegant new treatment are in the works!

OOTS! was started in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 2004 by Arian Roefs (Managing Director) and Godfried Konings (the Designer), both originally from The Netherlands. A Dutch Design sense and no-nonsense approach are staples of this enterprising duo.

The name OOTS! is a tribute to Sjaan, Arian's mom (top right): Anytime anything surprises her, she utters this deadpan exclamation, and then continues with the business at hand.

It was with Sjaan that OOTS!' first product, the bbib, originated. Sjaan has been making clothes her whole life, and for her grandchildren she always crafted baby bibs with sleeves, made from terrycloth towels. She did this for the owners' first born as well. These sturdy, practical bibs-with-sleeves turned out to be crowd-pleasers everywhere. Friends and even strangers in restaurants were wildly enthusiastic, and so they became the inspiration for the bbibs...... and OOTS!

The lunchbox was actually on Oprahs O list! I got to try one out in blue. I got the deluxe lunchbox that comes with the containers for inside. It comes with one large container that fits perfectly in the bottom and four smaller containers, two stacked on top of two. Then there is a colored but clear lid that you have to squeeze to put on top. That's where I had a hard time. It took some playing to figure out how to get the lid on, its a tight fit. Once I knew that you had to squeeze it though it works great.

There is an elastic strap that covers the top of the lunchbox and you can put one of your water bottles under if you want! This lunchbox is great for kids and is nice enough and modern looking enough for me to use myself.


All materials used are food safe and kid-friendly: made from BPA-free and phthalate-free polypropylene and safety tested for lead. The lunch box and containers are dishwasher safe (top rack) and the containers can be used in a microwave.

OOTS has offered my readers a 30% off discount code! That's a lot! Use code oots30 to get 30% off any of their dish sets of bbibs

Kama soap with Giveaway **Closed**

Kama Soap set out in 1997 to produce a soap that was superior to any others they could find. Many people agree that they have accomplished this!

Kama Soaps has combined different plant oils, in the proper ratio, to create a moisturising lathering bar that doesn't melt into the soap dish. They use different herbs and grains for color and texture and lots of essential oils so you are not left wondering what kind it is.

Of course all of her soaps are made in small batches to ensure high quality and to maintain consistency.

All of the soap is made in beautiful Salt Spring Island in BC Canada!!!

We were lucky enough to receive a 100 gram bar of her baby soap. Honestly I have been using this soap on myself! I know I know but it smells so good and I just knew it would be good for my eczema. It lathers up great and doesn't dry out my skin at all.

I am sure Brandon will get a shot at using this soap too but right now I am all over it. If you want to try out some of this soap for your kids, or you then read on!

One lucky winner is going to win 5 bars of baby soap from Kama Soap!

Go to Kama Soap and tell me one other product you would like to try.
