TruKid with a giveaway **Closed**

I almost always have my kids in some sort of sun wear when we are going to be outside all day and especially for swimming in the summer. We still go through a lot of sunscreen though, faces, some arms and legs and of course my husband and I. I used to just use regular old drugstore sunscreen but once I read about all of the chemicals that are in it and how they are just absorbed through your skin right into your body I started looking for an alternative.


Some are ok and some are awesome. TruKid is awesome. It rubs in great, and is chemical free. It comes in a good size bottle and is only $10, very comparable to drugstore brands. The packaging is cute and it even smells good. The few days my kids wore it so far this year they had no problem with me applying it and Kristina even commented on the scent.

What makes us different?

Differences are what make everyone special and stand out from the crowd. TruKid™ believes in being proud of who you are. We are a different sort of company and of course, proud of it! For starters, our products are uniquely created just for kids of all ages (there simply weren't enough healthy skincare products out there just for kids). Second, we are all natural and completely chemical free. But what sets us apart even more than our products, is our philosophy. TruKid™ strives to impact the world one healthy habit at a time. Through rhymes, songs, facts and more, we provide the tools your family can use to start forming healthy habits the fun way.

Why use TruKid™?

Well, besides the fact that we only use ingredients that are good for you, we spent a lot of time making our products just right! We encourage kids and their families alike to use our product line everyday. Everything from the lighter textures for quick and easy application to the great, cheerful scents that kids love; we made sure everything was kid approved. You have enough to worry about, let us help you teach your kids healthy skin care habits to last their lifetime.

TruKid also has a shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a hero stick (good for bug bites and sunburns.) We got some samples of those and are loving them. The scents are great, not to strong but very kid friendly and they work great! I will definitely be seeking out more of these products!


TruKid has offered up a Sunny Days SPf 30+ Face stick and a Body wash to one lucky winner!

ATG stores with a giveaway **Closed**

ATG stores isn't just one little online store. They have over 400 stores online and are all connected through one site. You can literally get anything you can think of at one or more of their stores. They sell lighting, furniture, outdoor furniture and equipment, toys, plumbing stuff, rugs, tools, and so much more. I have spent hours looking through their shops and products trying to figure out what to review. It finally came down to Kristina needing some stuff to reorganize her room and wanting something funky for it.

We decided to get the Trend-Labs blossoms fabric bins for her room and was she ever excited when they arrived! We headed right up to her room to do some organizing, she might get that from me :) We got everything all set up and got rid of the big ugly plastic organizer and now her rooms looks so much better. One more step in the right direction to getting the tween room she wants. She is one happy girl. They even have matching mother and daughter aprons in the same print, too cute!

The bins came in a set of 3, large, medium and small. The small one holds her Littlest Pet Shop people and clothes, the medium is great for all her coloring books and note pads for under her desk and the large is nice and big. We put all of her dolly accessories in there, she has a big bin for all her dolly's but if we had the accessories in there they would just end up at the bottom never to be seen again. Its such a cute print, even I would use these in my living room, not that she would ever give them to me.

No matter what you are looking for ATG Stores probably has it. The best part is all of their prices are very comparable to shopping in stores and it all ships together. You can get a rug for your living room, bedroom furniture and some toys for the kids all done at once with only one shipping fee. You can even qualify for free shipping on most orders of $49 and more in the US, how great is that?

Say Please with a Giveaway **Closed**

Say Please is one of the first things we teach our children to say. It starts with Hello, breast/bottle, bye bye, and before you know it we are teaching them to say Please and Thank you! It means so much to Kristina now that shes older when I compliment her or say how I love spending time with her. She just glows. I love making her feel like that.

Say Please can help you do just that. They create cards called lunchbox love that you can put in your child's lunch to remind them that you love them and how special they are. They are all different and each say something positive. The cards even have an interesting fact on the back. Some of the facts are funny, some are just interesting but its definitely great to help Kristina with her reading. They have cards for kids, teenagers, girlfriends, co-workers and more.

Its a great idea that I love. It makes it so easy to pop a little I Love You note into your child's lunch box or to leave in the mirror for your spouse. At only $4 for a box of 12 you can give them away like candy and feel great about it! I love giving them to Kristina and she really loves to get them, she even asked me today when she would get another one. Right now at Micheal's you can get a little sample pack of 4 for only $1. Check it out and see how great they are!

Say Please has offered up volumes one to four of the Lunchbox Love for kids sets to one lucky winner!

Baby Wit with a Giveaway **Closed**

If you are looking for fun and funky clothes for your kids, yourself or even your dog, look no further than Baby Wit. Baby Wit has some of the coolest baby clothes I have seen around! They are punk, funky, and hip. They sent me a shirt for Brandon is a 4 and it fits great. A little long in the sleeves but you can roll it up once and its great. Its organic and so soft, the quality is great! There are pages and pages and pages of different designs of shirts. There are long sleeved, short sleeved, onsies and more.

babywit.com creates quirky, eclectic T-shirts that show the world your baby has serious style. We have the largest collection of comic infant and toddler T-shirts on the Internet. We were tired of seeing cute rainbows, hearts and bears on baby shirts. Especially bears. We hated bears. And so, in 2003, Rosalee started babywit.com, a company that designs baby T-shirts with an adult sensibility.

Our T-shirts are made by American Apparel. They cost us a little more, but they're made in a sweatshop-free environment and are of better quality than anything else we've tested. (Plus, both the black infant tees and raglan-sleeved toddler shirts are tragically hip.) We hand-press our T-shirts using retro iron-on transfers. (Those of us who lived through the 70's will remember the decal shops in the local shopping mall.)

There are women and men's clothing, kids clothing and dog clothing. How cute would a dog be strutting around in this shirt?

There are so many more things that I would love to get for my kids from Baby Wit! Even a few things for my hubby and I. If there is something that you would like how would you like a $25 gift certificate to help you out? Baby Wit has one for one lucky winner!

Huggies MomInspired Grant Program

I love Huggies, they are the brand we have always used with our kids. I tried another brand but it leaked every time. I even tried cloth diapers for a while but they gave Brandon diaper rash every time we used them. It was weird but as soon as we put him back in Huggies it would go away. I still miss cloth diapering but Huggies work great for us!

Back to the Grant program. Huggies has started the Huggies MomInspired Grant Program. This program allows inventive moms to submit original, innovative and viable new business and product ideas designed to help make life easier for parents so that they can better enjoy everyday moments with their little ones. Until June 11th, you can visit http://www.huggiesmominspired.com/ to apply.

This program is open to moms who have an idea or already have a product/business and need additional funding to take it to the next level. Please note that the business or idea does not have to be one that fits within the Kimberly-Clark portfolio of products.This is all about helping moms nurture their business ideas and help them grow.

This is an amazing program that I wanted to share with all of you and it just so happens that I really do love Huggies so I couldn't not tell you about it!

By posting this information, I am entered into a contest to win a $250 American Express gift card from MomSelect. I did not receive any compensation for this post and thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Bo Peep Boutique with a giveaway **Closed**

Ahhhh shoes. How I love thee. I have really gotten into the whole dressing a boy thing. It was a bit hard at first but I love all of the cute boys clothes that are out there now! The skater shoes are so cute on a little boy, they make him look like a little man. I have seen DC shoes before but had not got Brandon a pair yet and man I am glad I did, are they ever cute. The quality is amazing and they will look so cute with just about anything.

Bo Peep Boutique carries the DC shoes Brandon got as well as so many other great things. Bo Peep says that kids play, kids eat, kids poop and kids sleep and they carry everything you need fit a kid’s lively lifestyle. Chosen for durability, functionality, and affordability, their products are sure to last without breaking your bank account.

There are so many things that I want from Bo Beep that it was really hard to choose. There are toys, puzzles, clothes, books, swaddling blankets and so much more. Its great to find everything all in one place, you can get shower gifts, and great things for your own kids all at once. Who doesn't like supporting another mom in business for herself. I would much rather support another parent than a big box store.

Bo Peep Boutique loves her customers, and is great to them! So you can see how good she is to her customers she wants one of you to have a $25 gift certificate!

Pediped

I love shoes, its no secret. Kristina loves them to and I am sure that Brandon will come to love them. One general thing I would love to see happen with all shoes, I would love them to be washable. With kids it seems one thing is common, being dirty. Their clothes are dirty, their shoes and of course themselves. We can throw our kids in the bath and their clothes in the washer but only wipe off their shoes. What happens when they go through a mud puddle or worse? You throw them in the wash and hope that they come out OK. That's what I have done anyways, and its not always a pretty outcome.

Pediped has come out with a new machine washable shoe and I love it. When I picked it up at the mailbox we put it on right away and Brandon was thrilled with them. I was a little disappointed though that I would have to wait a while to see how they washed. Little did I know. When we got back home I took off his diaper, we are potty training and almost done, and I guess he had an upset tummy because he pooped before he could even say anything to me, which is unusual. Right down his pants and all over his shoes. It was quite a mess but the only good outcome was that I got to try out washing the shoes right away.

They washed up great and I am thrilled. Especially for the Summer these shoes will be awesome. How many times do you come home for the beach with shoes full of sand? I hate that, almost enough to stop going to the beach, but of course not that much.

The other new feature Pediped has come up with is Memory foam technology. It was in Brandon shoes and its great.

Say “goodbye” to dirty and smelly shoes! DRYZ® is a specially-formulated, odor resistant insole that controls both moisture and temperature. A version of these insoles sell online for $15.99 but are included free in this pair--a great deal!

Be sure to check out Pediped for your next shoes purchase!

Label Daddy with a giveaway **Closed**

I am a huge organizer, I can't help it. I am always organizing my kids clothes, their toys, my cupboards and more. I can't help it. Its not just in the Spring either, I spring clean and nest all year long. Once I found labels I moved up to the next level of organizing. Now I want a labeler :) Until then Label Daddy has me covered.

Label Daddy makes every kind of label you could need for your family. There are clothing labels, labels for sippy cups, shoe labels, labels for hats, sunscreen and more! Summer is a hard time for keeping things labeled and not having the labels just wear off and get ruined with all of the sun, sand and sunscreen. Label Daddy is also the only label company with Disney labels! Who wouldn't want Mickey Mouse or Cars on their labels, I know Brandon would have loved those ones!

We got to try out a Camp pack of labels from Label Daddy and we are loving them. We have been using them for a few weeks and they look just like new. The camp pack comes pre laminated although you can get any of their labels laminated. The lamination helps to protect the label from running with sweat and sunscreen. You can make them however you want. I choose to just have our last name on these labels so that both kids can use them instead of ones for each child. I also just used a gender neutral sun as the icon so its not girlish or boyish! You can really put your personality into your labels!

Label Daddy has offered up the winner's choice of Small, Medium, or Large All Purpose Labels!

To Enter:

Go to Label Daddy and tell me what your favorite icon is for their labels

Sugar Free Ring Pop

My kids love candy, what kid doesn't? However I don't like to give it to them all the time, they get all wired up on sugar and then they drive me crazy! When I heard about the sugar free ring pop I was pretty excited, well as excited as you can get over candy lol!

I have been babysitting my two nephews so the other day while they were here all 4 kids had one and they loved them. They loved that they could carry it with them on their fingers and could still keep on playing without having to put it down. They even enjoyed that it made some of their mouths and lips all blue!

The ring pops are sweetened with Splenda so personally I wouldn't give my child more than one or they might have the runs but who needs more than one anyways. I would definitely pick these up next time I see them in town. They were a big hit!

They come in Blue Raspberry, Watermelon and Strawberry, check them out, they are delicious!

Hatley with Giveaway **Closed**

I live out in the country. On 5 acres with my husbands family, my girlfriend calls it the compound! We all have our own houses but share the property. Its amazing and I wouldn't trade it for anything! I love that my kids are growing up with not only family in town but family across the driveway. With 5 acres however we are outside a lot. In the summer its amazing, we are running around the yard or on the deck or in our little pool. But even in the winter there is still a lot to do outside and I only had a cute pair of winter boots, no rubber boots and sometimes its just to hot for winter boots.



I have always admired Hatleys PJ's, and rain boots, but didn't know that they carried adult rain boots. They are soooooo cute, I love them, even my husband said he wanted a pair! That says a lot, he doesn't like much lol. They are pink with brown horses all over them, so country and so cute. You could even wear these boots to town on a rainy day and not look like country folk.



Hatley carries so many products that I just didn't know about. They have aprons, mugs, dish sets for the kids, tea towels, mens boxers, you get the idea. A lot of stuff and I really love the look of all of it!


My boots came in an XL because I am a size 10 and they fit great. You can tell right away that they are really high quality boots and will last many years which is great because I don't see myself getting sick of them anytime soon.


Hatley has been around for for over 20 years so you know they make a great product and they really stand behind it. You can find it all over the world at many retailers and of course online. You can get free shipping online when you spend over $50! Don't forget to keep up with them on Facebook as well!

Envirosax

The philosophy of Envirosax® is to help create a better future for our planet by spreading the environmental message through colour and script using the Envirosax® eco-friendly reusable bag as the vehicle.

Envirosax is proud to help protect the environment for tomorrow’s generation by providing an eco-friendly alternative to disposable shopping bags that have caused so much damage to the environment worldwide. Envirosax bags are lightweight, portable, waterproof and each one holds the equivalent of two supermarket plastic bags thanks to reinforced seams.

We believe in environmental sustainability. Plastic bags clog drains and cause flooding. They pollute rivers and streams, killing animals and destroying plantlife. They take years to photodegrade and have a very short life span. Envirosax provide a compelling alternative to the plastic bags which are doing so much damage to our planet.

Envirosax donates a percentage of its sales to charities and non-profit organisations dedicated to the preservation of the environment.

I love using reusable bags and love when I can show some of my funky side off with them. I also have to carry around my bags in my purse because if they are in the car I only remember them when I am getting groceries. I already had a few fold up bags for my purse but none of them had any style. They were just solid colors. No fun at all. I got one Envirosax from The Basic Shop and then Envirosax sent me another and I am hooked. I love them. They are huge, so strong, wash up great and will last forever!

Tested for strength & safety
Super strong, holds 44lbs
Fully washable - won't fade
Super convenient & water-resistant
Fashionable & fun - a great gift idea!
Solution to one-use plastic bags

There are so many cute designs to suit any taste and style. There are colors, black and white, florals, modern, organic and more. There really is something for everyone. Of all of the reusable bags that I have seen on the market these are by far my favorite. Check out Envirosax here.

Old Navy with a Giveaway **Closed**

Old Navy is a great store that I am sure that many of you have enjoyed before! I love going to Old Navy, we don't have one to close to us but whenever I go down island I love to go in. Kris usually gets cranky because I can spend so much time in there. They have men's, women's, and kids clothing. They are great quality and such cheaper prices. There is nothing that I have ever seen at Old Navy for an outrageous price. Their kids stuff is my favorite.

Kids outgrow there clothes so fast that its hard to spend to much money on them. I don't mind spending money on some special pieces but for the most part I like a deal and a steal. Old Navy has many! They carry everything too, pj's, underwear, clothes and even outerwear! They have the best underwear, I haven't got Kristina any but the underwear for Brandon is amazing. Its cheap, cute, and fits great!

I also love there pj's. They are my favorite. If I had to only get one thing I would get pj's! They are always so cute and fit great. They are nice and snug which is good for my skinny little man and the pants can never be too long because they are nice and tight at the bottom so you can get a bit longer out of them!

Kristina got a super cute dress from Old Navy and its quickly become her favorite! She wears it every wear, its a nice light cotton and has some elastic around her waist so it isn't huge on her but looks nice. It will fit nice for a while and she can wear it all year, with a sweater and tights in the Fall and Winter and without in the Spring and Summer.

Old Navy has offered up a $50 gift certificate (just like I got) for one lucky winner! Check out their Canadian or American sites!

Aller-Ease with a giveaway **Closed**

Kristina was misdiagnosed with asthma when she was 2 1/2 and lasted about a year before they realized that she really had walking pneumonia. It was awful. I became obsessed with cleaning and dusting and dust mites and learned so many things that have just made me continue on being obsessed with it even after they knew she didn't have asthma. Dust mites scare me. I try to limit the kids stuffies and especially only like them to have organic ones.

The protein found in dust mites and their droppings is THE most common trigger of perennial allergy and asthma symptoms. Dust mite allergens affect 50 to 80 percent of the people with allergies or asthma, and can trigger lifelong allergies in newborns. Inhaling dust mites allergens can cause allergic reactions & asthma to people with a sensitivity to them. At just 1/100th of an inch in length, dust mites are almost invisible to the naked eye. The bugs congregate where dead skin cells can be found – in mattresses, pillows, fabric covered sofas and chairs, stuffed toys, carpeting, and pet bedding. A single female dust mite lays 40 to 100 eggs, creating more than 100 new dust mites and 8,000 fecal droppings per month. Dust mites multiply so significantly, that unprotected pillows will weigh 10 percent more after just two years – and unprotected mattresses will double in weight after 10 years.

Even without Asthma I still do everything I can to prevent dust mites and other allergens from my family. I get organic bedding and dust mite protecting bedding, clean like a crazy person, and more!

Aller-Ease® pioneered the protective-bedding category with its allergen filtration bedding products and has been the number-one selling brand of protective bedding for more than a decade. With a range of pillow encasements, mattress encasements, and pillows, Aller-Ease continues to lead the way by using innovative fabric engineering techniques to offer unparalleled filtration and superior comfort, so allergy suffers can sleep well and wake up refreshed.

Aller-Ease is one of many brands by American Textile Company designed to improve the quality of sleep. For more than 80 years, American Textile Company has been the leading supplier of quality mattress protectors, pillow protectors, bed pillows, and mattress pads to large and small retailers. The company continues to evolve and grow through the development of new products that focus on high performance bedding solutions and healthy sleeping environments.

The bedding has sure come a long way since when Kristina was first diagnosed and I needed to run out and buy it all quickly. Its now breathable and much higher quality. We got a Cotton Pillow Case Protector and I put it on Brandon's bed because he seems a bit more sensitive to things than Kristina is. Its working great. It doesn't make him all hot and sweaty and also acts a protectant for the pillow itself, keeping it clean and last longer.

Aller-Ease has offered up a Cotton Pillow Case Protector to one lucky winner!

Sunglasses Warehouse with a Giveaway **Closed**

I love cute sunglasses but have a really hard time because when I wear them I can't see! I have to wear prescription glasses, mostly for distance. When I got my glasses I got them to tint outside in the sun but it doesn't work in the car because the windshield is UV protectant. Also even though they tint outside, they don't tint enough for me. When I am just out in the yard or sitting on the deck I usually take off my glasses and just wear sunglasses and that's fine. The problem that I have though is when I drive. I don't really like the clip on glasses and find that they just make my glasses go crocked because when I put them on and off I can't do it very well and they pull on one side and make them go crooked and they just look funny with the extra wires going across.

When I had the chance to review some sunglasses from Sunglasses Warehouse I didn't know weather to try some really cute sunglasses for on the deck or something for driving. I gave in and got something for when I am driving. I got some big shades that go over top of my prescription glasses. They are not cute or trendy sunglasses but they do exactly what I need. I don't care if I don't look cool, I can see when its really sunny. Kris's work buddies may have said I looked like their Grandma when I accidentally wore them in to his work the other day but I don't plan on wearing them out of the van, unless I forget again :)

The sunglasses are great. They fit over top of my glasses perfectly. They don't rub or don't touch my nose, like the ones I tried to fit on top that weren't for that. They are great for what they are intended for. Like I said, who cares if I don't look cool if I can see that's all that matters.

If you however want to look cool Sunglasses Warehouse has you covered there as well. They carry sunglasses that celebrities wear! You can search by style, color, shape, and more. You can even check out their videos about choosing sunglasses based on your face shape! All of their sunglasses are under $20 and have a spring sale on right now for an extra 15% off! You even get free shipping on any order of $25 or more. They have mens, womens, and kids sunglasses!

Sunglasses Warehouse has their own contest going on right now! Its easy enough, if you grab their button and post it on your blog to win, you can even get extra entries for tweeting about it! You can read more about it here! They have also offered up any pair or a $20 gc to one lucky winner!

Show Us The Real ‘U’ In Uniform contest

I have a great contest to tell you about!

French Toast (www.frenchtoast.com), a leading provider of school uniforms, this week launched a $15,000 contest in which kids who attend a school that has a dress code can show the world what makes them unique and special.

The contest is titled, “Show Us The Real ‘U’ In Uniform,” and it is designed to provide a forum for kids to express their individuality. Kids and their parents can enter the contest by visiting www.uinuniform.com and following the instructions regarding submitting a video or essay along with pictures. The final day to submit an entry is September 15.

On November 1, French Toast will be posting the 10 finalists and the public will be able to vote for the grand prize winner – who will win $10,000 in cash and their school will receive $5,000 in vouchers from French Toast. The grand prize winner will be announced on November 30.

More than 1 in 5 public schools now have a dress code, and that’s on top of the many private, parochial and charter schools that have dress codes! Does your school have a dress code? Kristina's school doesn't but they definitely have guidelines that you have to follow. No flip flops until Grade 4, no showing your stomach, and I believe nothing sleeveless. Of course no hats is a big one too!

This is a great contest that you can really get your kids involved in and it doesn't just benefit your child, it will really help out their school too!

Happy Mothers Day!!!

To all of the amazing moms out there, including mine, I hope you all have the best Mothers Day yet! May it be filled with sleep, giggles, cuddles, and the spa if you are lucky!

Before you were conceived I wanted you

Before you were born I loved you

Before you were here an hour I would die for you

This is the miracle of life.

Eco Vessel with Giveaway **Closed**

Brandon is a juice monster. He can seriously go through 8-10 sippys a day. He will drink water if he has to but loves his juice. We water it down about 1/2 and 1/2 with water but he just goes to town on it. Personally I am a big Crystal Light fan. I can't get enough of it. The only thing is I will only drink things when they are cold, they have to be cold or I just can't drink them. I keep a handful of stainless steel bottles in the fridge, full of water, all of the time so if I drink 2 or 3 at night I can just go grab another cold one.

Brandon doesn't seem to care if its cold or warm, and tends to drink juice so fast that it doesn't matter. However I do care when I give him milk in his sippy or anything in the summer, I want it to stay nice and cold. I find it so much more refreshing to have a cold drink in the summer even though they say a warm drink is better for cooling off.

I don't have to worry about Brandon's milk not being cold anymore now that he has an Eco Vessel sippy cup. It keeps drinks cold for up to two days! We tried mine out, I got the 17 oz insulated bottle and it really did stay cold all day! I love it. Now I can take juice or water to work and won't stop drinking it an hour into my shift because its gone warm. At only $12.95 for the sippys and $16.95 for the insulated 17 oz bottles that's a steal! Another great feature is that just because they are insulated doesn't mean that you are giving up all sorts of space, they still hold lots! You can even put hot things in them because of the dual wall design, hot chocolate, coffee, need I say more :)

Eco Vessel has offered up the same thing I got (one insulated sippy and one 17 oz insulated bottle) to one lucky winner!

Go to Eco Vessel and tell me what your favorite color bottle is

Le Mystere with a giveaway **Closed**

For over 18 years, Le Mystère has proven to be a brand leader in the intimate apparel industry. We have distinguished ourselves from the competition as a lingerie innovator and have become a household name to women all over the world. By incorporating our “all about fit” approach to our design technique, Le Mystère proves that we understand a woman’s need for both fashion and function.

Michael Rabinowitz, founder and CEO of Le Mystère, has dedicated over 40 years to the intimate apparel industry. It is this experience that has helped to create the perfect fundamentals for the Le Mystère brand and its customer. Because Le Mystère understands that no two women are alike, we offer a variety of styles and collections for every woman and all occasions:

Essentials Collection consists of seamless, molded microfiber styles as well as over all lace silhouettes that anticipate a woman’s every curve. This collection includes such styles as the Isabella, Francesca, Tisha (t-shirt), Heather, TechFit, La Boheme, Delphine, Gigi, Shameless and Sculptural Strapless as well as panties and thongs.

Le Mystère’s Full Fit Collection is an extension of the Essentials collection, but caters to the full fit figure for women of all sizes. Styles in this collection include the Dream Tisha, Dream Tisha Lace, Dream Shameless Strapless, TechFit, Baroque, Lolita Strapless, Camille, Carina and the Elysee.

Le Mystère Specialty Collection offers the trademark fit to accommodate every outfit or occasion including styles such as the Bridal Seduction Bustier, Evening Seduction Bustier, Dos Nu Convertible, Florence maternity bra as well as the Energie sports bra.

Le Mystere offeres a large selection of bras and panties online! They even have some really nice nursing bras. I was a little unsure of ordering a bra online at first because bras are usually something that you should try on. With Le Mystere's easy to use size chart I measured, well I got my husband to, and ordered what size it said I should be. I started to worry though while waiting for it to arrive. Would it fit, would I like it, what if, what if, what it!

When it arrived I tried it on and low and behold it fit perfect! I was thrilled. It just goes to show you that you really can order bras online, just measure and it should be just fine. I got to try the Carina and love it! I really wanted it because it has some cute detailing on the strap, but isn't lace so its not itchy, and it can turn into a y-back which is great. I tend to be always be pulling up my straps, no matter how tight they are they seem to always be sliding down. The only trouble I have is figuring out how to put it on without Kristina having to do it up for me lol!

One other feature that I wanted to mention about the Carina is that is has a smaller band at the back. I like a big wide band at the back so I don't get more back fat showing but I know a lot of other bigger chested women who hate that all of the fuller figure bras have the thick back so its nice to see that there are some really cute ones out there that have a smaller band.

Le Mystere has offered up a Carina to one lucky winner!

My Lil' Package with a Giveaway **Closed**

Brandon was really sick last week, really sick, with the flu. It was a hard week for all of us, he wasn't eating, getting dehydrated and just wanting to cuddle. Him and I spent the majority of the week cuddling on the couch watching cartoons. The only time he would perk up everyday was when it was time to go get his Sissy (Sister)! He sure loves her. When we picked her up we stopped to get the mail and there was a gorgeous blanket for Brandon from My Lil' Package and it really couldn't have come at a better time.

My Lil' Package sent Brandon the Bamboo Baby Blankies by Baby Boomba and he loved it. I wish it was a bit bigger but it was so good for him to snuggle with. He loved it, it was so nice and soft and natural. The colors are great because its gender neutral, it would make a great baby gift.

Made in Canada, the baby blankets are made from viscose from bamboo blend fleece. Reversible to natural, they are all made with a double layer which gives it a nice weight. One side has a standard knit face and the other side is a soft fleece. Perfect cover for a light stroll, a nap or in mommy and daddy's arms. It has the Baby Boomba signature style decorative band of fabric.

My Lil' Package carries so much more than just blankets. They have everything you need for your newest lil package! They carry clothing, diapers, feeding accessories, teethers, pacifiers, toys and more. The service at My Lil' Package was great and the blanket has already been washed a few times and it still looks as good as new, we will definitely love this for years to come!

My Lil Package Baby Boutique is solely owned and operated by myself, Lynn Worthen, the proud mother of one little boy, Owen.

In the past, I had been an independent rep for other children's companies and I soon realized that not only was I finally doing something that I enjoyed, I wanted to be one of those companies and not just a rep anymore.

With the support of my husband, Omar, I decided to take this giant leap and create a place online, where I could offer a wide array of products for baby, mom and dad. I am proud to say a huge portion of our products are award winning, organic, eco-friendly and made here in Canada.

My Lil Package is a great spot for moms, moms to be, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, dads, grandfathers and everyone to shop. We have a unique selection of hard to find items which I think you will enjoy.

My Lil' Package has offered up a Bamboo Baby Blankies by Baby Boomba in the winners choice of color!

Free Spirit Publishing with Giveaway **Closed**

One thing I have never had an issue spending money on is books. Books are worth their weight in gold as far as I am concerned. I loved to read as a child and hope that that has passed down to my kids. Kristina is struggling to read, she can read but is at the bottom of her grade level with reading. I will buy any books for her to help to interest her in reading and do just about anything to encourage her.

When I had the chance to review some books and give some away from Free Spirit Publishing I was all over it. Free Spirit Publishing doesn't carry your typical fairy and dragon books. They have books about behaviour, life changes, social skills and so much more.

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Free Spirit Publishing is known for its unique understanding of what kids want (and need) to know to navigate life successfully. Our reputation as the groundbreaking publisher of SELF-HELP FOR KIDS® and SELF-HELP FOR TEENS® is rooted in books and other learning materials that are practical, positive, pro-kid, and solution focused. We’re not afraid to tackle tough topics such as teen depression, kids and anxiety, grief and loss, juvenile justice, and conflict resolution. Free Spirit also offers sound advice with a sense of humor on relevant issues including stress management, character building, puberty, school success, self-esteem, and more. We aim to meet all kids—toddlers, teens, and in-betweens—where they are (not where we wish they were), and support them to develop their talents, build resiliency, and foster a positive outlook on life so they can reach their goals.

Kristina and Brandon both received some books from Free Spirit Publishing and they are huge hits. Brandon got some board books about being kind to animals, saying goodbye, and tidying up. Not only are they well illustrated and written they are about things that we all want our children to learn about. They are either life lessons of just day to day things that we all do. They are easy to read and long enough to get the point across yet short enough to keep his attention throughout the entire book. They are also great for when your child is learning to read.

The books Kristina got are great as well. She got a book about ways to get into nature and how to build a greener future. It has 150 ideas on how to do it and of course there are the ride your bike and be an example ideas (not that those are bad ideas they are just old) it also has some really new great ideas too! She also got a book about hurtful words and how to play it safe. The Words are not for hurting book is for 4-8 and they have a board book as well for the younger crowd. I just can't say enough about how well written these books are. They really spent the time to use just the write words, and are the right length and can really hold your child's interest. I would recommend these to anyone!

Free Spirit Publishing has offered up any 4 books to one lucky winner!

HALLS with a giveaway **Closed**

Who hasn't heard of HALLS? Whenever someone in my family gets sick we go to the store and buy HALLS. They are great for a sore throat and even congestion because they can clear out your sinuses. But did you know that they can be a great aid in allergies? I had no idea. When you think about it though it makes a lot of sense. If you have plugged sinuses they work and if you have allergies they plug up your sinuses so it only makes sense that HALLS would work.

The arrival of spring is heralded by growing grass, budding flowers and sprouting leaves; a pretty picture that is making nearly one in two Canadians downright miserable, all because of the pesky symptoms of seasonal allergies. Unknown to many Canadians, help is already within reach. HALLS MENTHO-LYPTUS cough drops — Canada’s leading cough drop and a trusted companion during cough/cold season — can also complement your regular prescription or over-the-counter allergy medication to provide temporary soothing relief of allergy symptoms, such as nasal congestion, cough or sore throat.

Allergy Symptoms: A Daily Battle for Allergy SufferersA recent national study by HALLS, conducted by Léger Marketing, reveals that 95% of affected Canadians admit that their symptoms get in the way of them feeling their best, which can affect the ability to function and concentrate on daily activities. “Spring allergens such as grass, weeds and pollen can have a big impact on our day-to-day lives. Allergy sufferers can be constantly fatigued and not feeling well, which can affect our performance and even lead to absence from work or school,” says Pharmacist and seasonal allergy sufferer Dipen Kalaria, Director of Specialty Pharmacy Services, Pharmacy.ca. “Symptoms from an allergic reaction, including nasal congestion and a dry, itchy throat and cough, can attack at any time,” says Kalaria, a trusted, go-to source with 15 years experience helping Canadians relieve allergy symptoms. “In some cases, you may not have your allergy medication on-hand, but there are some quick and easy ways to temporarily relieve symptoms. Something as simple as a HALLS MENTHO-LYPTUS cough drop can help soothe that irritated throat or relieve congestion, often in just seconds.”

HALLS is Canada’s top-selling cough drop – a leader in providing solutions that temporarily relieve coughs, soothe sore throats and irritation, relieve nasal congestion and help people feel better. The Advanced Vapour Action* formula found in HALLS MENTHO-LYPTUS cough drops works fast to temporarily relieve coughs and soothe sore throats during cough, cold and flu season and can also help temporarily relieve the same symptoms in seasonal allergy sufferers. HALLS offers a variety of products, including HALLS MENTHO-LYPTUS (Regular, Extra Strong, No Sugar Added and HALLS Centres), and HALLS Vitamin C*, which helps maintain good health.

Halls sent me some of their couch drops for my family and it couldn't have been at a better time. Kristina had been asking me to buy some for her sore throat and Kris had already been out earlier in the week to buy some! They have been using them like crazy and have definitely been a big help with their colds. So far this year I haven't had my seasonal allergies act up but I know that when they do I will be ready with some HALLS

Because HALLS have a DIN we can't just giveaway a drug product to the general product so we are going to sell the winner $25 worth of HALLS products for 1 penny. Don't worry though because we will cover that penny for you :)

Tell me when or how HALLS has helped you the most
