Holiday Gift Guide - PetCakes with a giveaway **Closed**

Well Made™ Toy Manufacturing Corporation, introduces PetCakes™, a new collectible plush pet line that will be a sweet treat for children ages 3 & up. Each PetCakes animal features a "frosting" hat, comes nestled in its own cupcake wrapper and has its own whimsical backstory. At first look, children will see a delicious cupcake but will then be surprised by the pet they find snuggled inside! Combining sweet faces and cuddly plush with a clever cupcake theme, PetCakes are collectible and provide hours of open-ended imaginative play. PetCakes make perfect gifts for a special friend and for pet lovers. They are ideal for birthday party favors, stocking stuffers and as rewards for good grades. Most of all, PetCakes deliver the kind of fun kids eat up!

The kids each got a few PetCakes to play with and they love playing with them. We have had them for a few weeks and the kids still haven't gotten bored of them, they play all sorts of games with them and they are a great size to carry around and take places with us.



They all come with cute little names, and are all animals stuffed inside a cupcake wrapper so they look like a cupcake at first glance and then you can see the animal when you pull it out, with an icing hat :) The kids like switching all the wrappers around too for different ones!


The PetCakes would make a great stocking stuffer or gift for someone special. They retail at $19.99 each Canadian and $13.99 USD! They are rated for age 3 and up but Brandon at 2 1/2 loves them :) You can buy them online at Toysrus.com and at etoys.com! We have 2 PetCakes for a giveaway!

Holiday Gift Guide - Peatoes and free shipping! **Closed**

Once upon a time there was a working mom by the name of Julie trying to juggle life, kids, and work. Wanting to live a balanced life, somewhat organized and in good fun she tried to find time to shop for things she needed for her kids and herself. Not wanting to compromise her sense of style, her time with her kids and their well being she searched for a one-stop shop where she could find everything she needed! Without any luck, she imagined a destination where while her kids were asleep she could dive into a world of easy online shopping filled with wonderful products for her and her kids, just a click away and then delivered to her doorstep! A site where parents can feel good about their shopping experience! Hence, Peatoes was born! Finally, an online retail destination for stylish baby, tot, and Mom! All products are carefully chosen by busy parents who want simplicity, functionality, good quality and style; parents who are conscious of the environment and its impact on the well-being of their child. That is why most of the products on this site are ecologically and environmentally friendly. Peatoes believes in giving back, so we are partnered with 1% for the Planet. All your purchases with us go a long way. Teaching children to give back from a young age makes this world a better place everyday. Feel good about buying on Peatoes.com.

Peatoes is a wonderful shop full of things that I would love to fill up my house with! For review Peatoes sent both kids an Imps & Elfs shirt! Kristina's came with a matching scarf. She seriously didn't take it off for about 3 days, I had to wash it while she slept after the first two days! Brandon's is super cute and he loves the truck on it and Kristina's says "It runs in the family" with 4 heads on it, a Mama, Dada, girl and boy! She shows everyone she sees her shirt and that her whole family is on it!

They have some amazing toys, Plan Toys which I am a huge fan of, Hape toys, mealtime accessories, bedroom decor and so much more. If you are looking for a great gift for a baby, toddler or harder to shop for older girl/boy or tween then you have to check out Peatoes! The service was amazing and I will definitely be back!


Use code ffm01 at Peatoes untill Nov 30th for free shipping! And be sure to check out their Halloween constest on their homepage!

Holiday Gift Guide - Scentsy review and giveaway **Closed**

Scentsy is a big favorite of mine! They have been on Fun and Funky Mommy before and I now have a few of their warmers around my house! If you still have not heard about Scentsy let me tell you about it! They are a direct selling business which to put it in layman's terms, they have home parties! So fun, I love a good home party! If you have never been to one basically you gather up some friends and have a Scentsy consultant over. She brings all of the scents and some warmers for you to check out, you play some games and have some wine with your girlfriends and then order if you see anything that you want. Its very laid back and a lot of fun!

Basically Scentsy sells warmers, scents for the warmers, and some other accessories! The warmers are not your typical candle warmers either. These plug in with a small bulb which heats up and melts the bricks of scent that you place in the top. They have hundreds of scents to choose from and there are so many that you will have to have. I have a bunch that I love and there are always a few more on my list to order!

They have tons and tons of different warmers, ones to suit every taste and then some! For review I was sent the Rethink Breast cancer warmer and some of my favorite scents. This warmer is a n awesome color, pink, and matches almost every decor! I have it in my living room and love that I can have it going while the kids are up, unlike candles. Its nice to have something that is safer than candles, candles start so many fires and just aren't safe with kids. We have a wood stove and even that is dangerous! Brandon has burned himself on more than one occasion, never badly though! A wood stove however isn't something you can sub with Scentsy unlike candles!

You will become addicted to Scentsy if you are a big candle fan or even if you just enjoy having a nice scent in your house! Scentsy makes a great gift for the Holidays! If you have someone on your list who loves scents and candles be sure to pick them up a new Scentsy warmer and some scents, you will be their new favorite! All purchases of the Rethink Breast Cancer warmer for the whole month of October benefits Rethink Breast Cancer and they’re donating 100 percent of the net profits from the sale of this warmer to Rethink! What’s also great is the sky’s the limit, there’s no cap!

Scentsy has offered up a Rethink breast cancer warmer and three scents, in your choice, for one lucky winner!!

Holiday Gift Guide - Abby's Lane with a Giveaway **Closed**

Abby's Lane, a unique boutique offering products to make your parenting experience enjoyable and a little closer to nature. I am Stephanie, owner and founder of Abby's Lane, which opened in September of 2004, we are currently located in Northern Virginia. My husband, Phillip, and I are proud parents to our 3 beautiful daughters and one little son.

Our cloth diaper journey began when Abby was 3 months old, Camille, Lucy and Sebastian have been cloth diapered from birth. I was a reluctant participant at first, I believed the myth that cloth diapering is messy, messy, and...well...messy! I assure you that is entirely false! Cloth diapering has been the most wonderful experience, and if my husband is an advocate, anyone can do it! The products I carry at Abby's Lane are carefully chosen to make your cloth diapering experience an easy and enjoyable one.

I love finding online stores that are all about helping parents and caregivers get around all of the myths about cloth diapering. I wish that cloth diapering had worked for Brandon and that I had known about it soon, even with Kristina. Its so much better for the environment, your baby and honestly so much more fun!

Abby's Lane carries all of the best and well known cloth diapers on the market! They also carry all of the accessories you need to make it as easy of an experience as possible! But, they don't just carry cloth diapers and accessories. They have toys, shoes, and so much more. It just makes it that much easier for you to do all of your shopping in one place.

We were sent a pair of Pedipeds for Brandon and love them. We have had other Pedipeds before and they are an awesome brand of shoes. We got the Maddox Flex and they are cute, easy to put on and take off, easy to keep clean and above all great for Brandon's feet! Abbys Lane has great customer service and I know that if you have a cloth diapering Mama on your Christmas list they would love to get something from Abby's Lane under the tree this year!

Abby's Lane has offered up a $10 gift certificate to one lucky winner! If the winner is in Canada please keep in mind that not everything can be shipped here!

Teva Review

There’s a lot of talk these days about cause-related marketing and corporate outreach. It seems like every few months there is a new “it” cause out there, but at Teva, we’re a bit of an anomaly, because we’ve been supporting the same cause since our inception 25 years ago: water.

Where you find water, you find life. It’s a simple philosophy, but it relates to a fundamental truth of this world. Ever since we were born on the Colorado River in 1984, we’ve felt a deeply ingrained connection to water. That’s why, for the past quarter century, we’ve been working to improve quality of life through water quality and availability initiatives all over the world. Whether we’ve been working on our own or with charity organizations, we’ve been blessed with incredible clarity of purpose over the years.

Kris has been into running these last 6 or so months and is really getting into it. Other than a small break over the hot months he is really liking it. It is making him sleep better, loose weight, and have lots more energy! I think he seems a bit happier as well :)

He was sent a pair of Teva Forge Pro shoes and loves them. They were a tiny bit snug when he first got them but they have relaxed a bit. They are rough and tumble shoes great for hiking, running the trails and even for picking up the groceries! The women's style is just as nice as the Men's. Kris's have lime green in them and are dark, a little bit different looking, and super grippy. They will last him a really long time! He won't slip anytime soon and I feel better knowing that Kris isn't wearing cheap shoes that don't support him. Teva shoes will give him everything he needs in terms of support, style and quality!

Heading for an adventure, but not sure what you'll run into? Then the Forge Pro is perfect for you. A multi-sport shoe in the truest sense, the Forge Pro boasts a range of versatile technical features, such as an aggressively lugged outsole and an external heel counter for stability. All of this means that you can get out there knowing that you'll always have the right shoe for the job.

If you or someone you know is into the outdoors, everybody should be, you have to check out Teva! They are an amazing company with great customer service, products and goals about not only your community but your earth! Be sure to check them out next time you are looking for a pair of shoes! You can keep up with them on Facebook as well!

Holiday Gift Guide - Nature Baby with a Giveaway **Closed**

***Open to everyone world wide***

Nature Baby has been featured on Fun and Funky Mommy before and I love them! The clothing that we got last time still looks brand new, and is in great shape! I couldn't wait to get some of their Merinio Essentials for Brandon! We are supposed to have a very cold winter this year so this will be great to have with the lower temperatures!

Made in New Zealand especially for bigger kids, these are an essential and practical wardrobe item! Our Organic Merino allows the skin to breathe, and provides insulation, without that irritating itch factor that many kids dislike about wearing wool. Because our merino is so fine and soft, these jumpers are non bulky and can be worn as a base layer, or as a simple stylish garment on their own, which does not restrict movement essential for the playground. A great action jumper for fun and adventure without the added weight and bulk of traditional wooly jumpers.

We got a chocolate/grey marl Merino Essentials Crew Neck Top and some red stripe long sleeved organic pajamas! They are amazing, so soft, a great size, nice and generous not that I would order a size down. They have a great baby and the child line so if you have kids farther apart in ages like mine then its nice to be able to order for both on the same site! They carry from size 0-3 months to size 7!

The Merino Essentials Crew Neck Top doesn't feel like wool at all! It feels like a thicker cotton top that will be awesome for layering under his snowsuit or for now he just wears it as a nice warm top. We love it, its a simple design as well which I love so it matches all of his bottoms. The pajamas are so unbelievably soft, you couldn't think that they could get any softer when you wash them and then they do, its amazing.

Nature Baby has offered up a red/grey marl Merino Essentials Crew Neck Top to one lucky winner, in their choice of size 3-7! Don't forget that if you spend more than $100 you get free shipping!

Holiday Gift Guide - Green and Black's Organic Chocolate with a delicious giveaway **Closed**

I love chocolate and can't get enough of it! Its so delicious, and its also true what they say about chocolate, if you pay more, you get better chocolate. Green and Black's is definitely better chocolate. I got a nice selection of bars and we have all being sampling away. I gave the ginger and the dark ones to my Grandmother in law and Mother in law and here is what they said!

"Just wanted to let you know that the Green & Black's Organic Ginger Chocolate Bar is something I will be watching for in the stores. It is the best ginger bar I have ever tasted."

"Oh thank you for the chocolate, soooooo good I would put it right up with Purdy's chocolate yummmmmm especially the one with ginger."

I didn't even have to ask them how it was, they both loved it so much that they both sent me messages a few hours later! I feel the same way! Its rich, silky, flavoured amazingly, and organic. You can't get any better than that. I even had to hide them from my husband because he couldn't stop eating them. Now he wants to know where they are but I haven't decided if I should tell him or not :)

These bars would make an amazing stocking stuffer! The only problem would be is that I would want them if they were in my kids stockings! They are also great for teachers, bus drivers and those last minute gifts you forgot you needed, newspaper boy etc! I will definitely be picking up more of these to have on hand, especially around the holidays!

Check their facebook page out here to keep up on all of the latest news about their products! I really would love to try their hot chocolate mix! One very lucky winner will get a nice gift of 6 organic bars to enjoy and even share, if you want that is :)

To Enter:

Go to Green and Black's and tell me what your favorite bar flavour is

Holiday Gift Guide - Waters Edge Organics

So now you know that we always do pajamas for our kids every year for Christmas Eve! This year Kristina's pajamas are from Waters Edge Organics! They are so cute, organic, and of course so so soft! I love a good pair of organic pajamas and these from Waters Edge Organics are just that! Its getting harder and harder to find organic pajamas for Kristina as she is in a 10/12 now and there just seems to be so much for babies and toddler and not much for the older crowd. Especially past the 6x size!

These pink pajamas feature a sleeping girl and the words, "Enjoy the free things in life like Sleep." There are polka dots in the letters and design of the top that coordinate with the polka dot bottoms - adorable! They are soft, comfortable, true to size, and with the long sleeve top and cropped pants, they are great in almost any weather. 100% organic cotton.

Kite Kids clothing is an eco-friendly children’s clothing line for boys and girls, ranging in sizes from 2 to 12. It is manufactured in Turkey from organic cotton grown in Turkey.

Waters Edge Organic doesn't just have pajamas either! They have so many things, I think that I could easily spend a few hundred dollars in their shop! They have everything from decor for your child's room, some super awesome looking teethers, dress up, clothing, toys and so much more! I would also love to try their Rockstar bath products!

Waters Edge Organics has offered up a great discount code for all of you!!! Use discount code FunandFunky for 10% off! That's sure to help a bit for your Holiday shopping!

Holiday Gift Guide - CSN Stores

One of the things that I really wanted to get for Brandon this Christmas was the Plan Toys Pirate Ship and I had been checking prices everywhere and seeing where I could get the best deal! When CSN Stores offered to have me review something for the Holiday Gift Guide I knew that it had to be Plan Toys Pirate Ship! I can't wait to give it to Brandon on Christmas morning! He is going to be over the moon about it.

I took it all out of the box and love that it took me about 2 minutes to have it all together. There was no wires to undo and nothing to cut and wrestle with to get out of the package. The small pieces were in a small paper bag not lots and lots of plastic. That was the first thing that I loved upon opening up the pirate ship!

The next thing I noticed was how well made it was, that isn't a surprise though if you have seen Plan Toys before! Its solid, simple looking, and helps kids use their imagination by providing only the basics to look at and then they can think up the rest themselves! To put it together you just put up the mast and put in the ladder and then your little one can decide what to do with the figures!

CSN Stores are over 200 stores all with one check out! You can literally do all of your Holiday shopping in one place with a place like CSN Stores! They have furniture, home improvement items, toys and kids and baby items, pet items, and so so so much more. If you can think it, they probably have it! Be sure to check them out this Holiday season!

Holiday Gift Guide - Hoodoo Designs with an amazing giveaway! **Closed**

Here is an amazing company that I couldn't wait to tell you about! When I first started chatting with Christine from HooDoo Designs she was just getting ready to go to the CCMA's (Canadian Country Music Awards) where she was honoured to have been selected as the Official Jewelry Designer of the 2010 CCMA Awards Gift Room!!!

The company specializes in handmade personalized glass jewelry, hair jewels, handmade wedding invitations and graphic design.

Christine lives in Airdrie, Alberta, Canada with her son and husband.

It turned out so nicely, which is no surprise with how many big famous fans Christine has! Its the best gift you can get that special someone in your life! So personal and will be a keepsake forever! I can't wait to see the look on xxx's face when she opens it (sorry, its a surprise lol)

Holiday Gift Guide - Executive Gift Shoppe with a giveaway **Closed**

Finding gift for Kris this Holiday Season is harder and harder for me to do! In steps the Executive Gift Shoppe!

Executive Gift Shoppe started as a small personalized gift store in Nanuet, NY in 1999 catering to the wedding & corporate gift industry. We built our reputation by providing unique, engraved & personalized gifts at affordable prices. Over the years, we have added thousands of new products, may personalized and many that aren't. One thing that hasn't changed is our commitment to quality and, more importantly, our commitment to customer service.

We (well Kris) was sent a multi tool knife and he was pretty excited when it arrived! It is the Dual Pro Lockblade Swiss Army Knife by Victorinox! It was even nicer and better quality than he had originally expected! That says a lot, Kris is very picky when it comes to multi tools! He has one already but is going to just use that one at work and this one for his days off!

He has been using it for a few weeks and doesn't have a single complaint about it! It is a great tool to carry on your belt and even I ask for it all the time. To open packages, beer, make small repairs and more! It comes with a lifetime guarantee, which is huge! Its the kind of tool you use all of the time and are not so gentle with, you really have your mind put at ease knowing that if it breaks it will be replaced!

Most items from The Executive Gift Shoppe can be engraved which is such a nice touch for a gift! It just makes it that much more personalized and it becomes a keepsake! Kris's multi tool couldn't be engraved but like I said most things can be! They also carry flasks and business card holders and more!

Be sure to check out The Executive Gift Shoppe this Holiday Season for gifts for the men in your life! Best of all The Executive Gift Shoppe has offered up any item up to a $50 value including free shipping and engraving!

Holiday Gift Guide-Organically Hatched review and giveaway **Closed**

Organically Hatched

Bringing You the Best Organic Baby Products

We pride ourselves in finding you the best organic baby products. We are just starting out and see the need for quality, unique organic baby products online.

As a new mom, it was difficult to source out the best organic baby items for my little one. With feedings every 2 hours, I didn't have the luxury of time to go to several different stores looking for these products and thought that it would be great if there was one store that carried everything I was looking for, that I could go to at a time that suited me. The idea was born and after several months of acquiring suppliers and setting up the online organic baby store, we are open.

We will continuously be researching and looking for the best organic baby things to bring you. As a Canadian company we are proud to feature a selection of quality organic baby products from local BC/Canadian suppliers. We will also be adding unique baby items that we think will make your life easier. So keep coming back to see our new items or sign up for our newsletter to get notified of new additions.

When you are looking for gift for kids this Holiday Season be sure to check out Organically Hatched! They have a huge selection of items from the first week of being a mom to a preschooler, nipple cream to tea parties! They have you covered!

We were sent the Woody Click Farm House and the Woody Click Farm Forest. Brandon will love both of them! I have been looking for a nice wooden farm set for quite a while and I can't wait to give it to him! You can set up the farm house in so many different ways just by simply clicking it into place and unclicking it to change it!

The Woody Click Forest Farm is a great add on to the Farm house. It comes with trees and more animals! I would love to get a huge set of animals for him now to go with it as well! Wooden animals are hard to find I am finding but Organically Hatched has them!

We selected wood, because of its natural form, to be the primary material for Woody Click. The individual characteristics of wood combined with fine craftsmanship make every piece of Woody Click unique. Water-based stains are used to maintain a natural and harmonious look and feel. Modern designs for the vehicles and buildings were created to encourage a child's aesthetic awareness. We feel these are fundamental to a high-quality toy. All these features make Woody Click an outstanding companion for children 3 years of age and up!

You can find some great gifts for mom to be or the child in your life, from newborn all the way up to about 5! Organically Hatched has a $15 gift certificate for one lucky winner!!

SmartKnit Socks

Tired of hearing her son scream “these sock seams keep bugging me,” a mom decided something needed to be done. Every “seamless” sock her son tried had seams in it; there was not a truly seamless sock available. After explaining the frustrating morning routine to countless friends of her son’s struggles with socks, she was finally given the name of Knit-Rite, a textile manufacturer, and contacted them with her request for a seamless kids sock.

After several requests for seamless socks from "desperate" parents, SmartKnitKIDS socks were created. Knit the same way a caterpillar spins its cocoon, SmartKnitKIDS socks are started at the toe and worked up toward the ankle. This process insures a 100% seamless sock, so there are no seams to bug ya! A form-fitting design also keeps those annoying lumps and bumps out of the socks.

Since its launch in 2003, SmartKnitKIDS continues to find new markets and grow every year. Super soft material and a seam free design make it the most comfortable kid’s sock on the market. SmartKnitKIDS come in a color for every personality: white, black, pink, purple, and navy. Ankle, crew and knee-high styles are available up to a youth size 8.

I have been lucky enough to try out the awesome socks from SmartKnit socks before and they are a huge hit in our house! My daughter always goes for her pair before any other pair because they don't bunch and twist and bother her toes. Brandon seems to like his, but hes a boy and I don't really know how much he cares lol!

My pair is awesome! They are a little slippery on the hardwood flooring but otherwise they are great! Nice and comfy, and there is no seams so they don't twist and bother me! Best invention ever, I wish all socks were like this, or that I could justify throwing all of mine and the kids out to get all SmartKnit socks :)

SmartKnit socks are great for kids or adults with sensory issues. Did you know that sock seams is one of the big hurdles parents are dealing with with their sensory challenged children? I didn't! Its nice to see something created that's actually helping people! Check them out yourself here!

Comfy Rumps with a Giveaway **Closed**

ComfyRumps.com Diaper Services was born on a rainy November day in Vancouver, BC by Christie and Trey. After paying over two hundred dollars for 11 name brand diapers, and noticing 11 diapers was enough for a day and a half (max!), we decided washing them every day was not another chore we wanted to add to the list. Soon after, we launched our company with a great single product! Today we are continually working to provide affordable and environmentally friendly diapering alternatives to families across Canada and the USA.

Our goal is not to make a killing on selling diapers and diaper services.

Our goal is to ensure that after our time, our children, grand children, and future generations can proudly say “Our parents/grandparents did their job to ensure we can breathe clean air, and drink clean water”. Our modern world war is the war on climate change and pollution. We are all responsible for making sure that our future generations do not suffer from the way we choose to live today. Nearly everything comes in disposable versions these days offering convenience in many aspects of our lives, but at what cost? We are proud to say we are trying to do our part, to promote a healthy planet for future generations and we strive to offer encouragement and education to everyone we can in order to help them do the same.

While Brandon is daytime potty trained we still need diapers for naps and bedtime. He stays dry some nights but then he will fill a diaper full a few nights later! We never know so its really not worth his wetting the bed, he will be ready when hes ready. In the meantime I have been using cloth diapers because I don't see the point of buying diapers again and again, to just fill the landfill when some don't even get wet.

I have two other cloth diapers, because you don't need many when you just use them once a day, and sometimes its not even wet! I have a mid priced one, an expensive one, and now a Comfy Rump, the nice cheap one! When I first bought some cloth diapers a year or so ago I thought that the more expensive the better the diaper. They were softer, more recommended, and usually you get what you pay for so I assumed that was true and bought some super pricey diapers.

In steps Comfy Rumps! They decided that you shouldn't have to pay upwards of $30 or even more to get a cloth diaper. Especially at the beginning you need quite a few to cloth diaper so that's a huge initial investment, which in turn, turns off a lot of people! Who can afford to drop $300-$500 on diapers so that you can save $ and do better by the environment. Even though you can save so much money its hard to have to put it all out in one shot.

Comfy Rumps start at only $8.75 per diaper and are just as good as the fancy ones. They have the same microfiber insert as many others and you can easily switch it out for a hemp one or double them up! The covers are awesome, nice and soft, lots of adjustments you can make with the snaps, and no leaks! They come in lots of colors and are a one size diaper, so you don't have to buy for each size! If I could do cloth diapering all over again from the start I would get Comfy Rumps 100% over the others!

Comfy Rumps has offered up any two diapers for one lucky winner to have a chance to try them out as well!!

Go to Comfy Rumps and tell me something you learned about them or their diapers!

Baby Baby with a Giveaway **Closed**

BabyBaby skin care was born in 2002 out of the need for good, quality skin care for New Zealand children offering a complete package of products to suit common childhood skin conditions as well as day to day care for children's skin.

As a beauty therapist, product developer Jodee Reid was astounded when looking for skin care for her new born son twelve years ago, that aside from the mass produced, there was very little else on offer.

With a strong passion for aromatherapy and sensible choices regarding skin preservation Jodee set about researching the need for a good quality skin care range of products for New Zealand children.

It seemed there was more than just a need for the skin care products themselves but also a strong need for professional skin care advice for parents whose children suffered from normal childhood skin conditions and disorders.

BabyBaby skin care has been developed in response to this research and offers a complete skin care range with professional advise.

Mothers using BabyBaby have been so impressed with the product and protocols their main request were for product to meet their own skin care needs and hence 2B Skin Care resulted.

Jodee Reid is a mother of four children, beauty therapist, award winning business woman and BabyBaby company director. Jodee's passion for skin is evident in her two fantastic New Zealand made skin care ranges; BabyBaby and 2B skin care.

Baby Baby was kind enough to send us some great products for us to try out! I got some 2B daily facial moisturizer, some 2B sunscreen and Brandon and Kristina got some baby and toddler sunscreen! They are all amazing, natural and smell so good! The 2B facial moisturizer is so nice. It smells good, its all natural, and it works, you can't get much better than that! It feels nice and thick but isn't to rich for my skin, it goes on smoothly and doesn't feel greasy at all. I haven't broken out at all while using this cream and love it!

The sunscreens are great as well. While it isn't the time of year to necessarily need sunscreen, it doesn't go bad to quickly and its nice to have on hand. If you take a holiday in the winter you sure can't fin it in the big box stores and that's not what I like to use anyways! The sunscreens that we got go on so nice (and rubs in easily), covers really well, and you don't feel greasy afterwords, which is a necessity to me.

Check out the full line of products from Baby Baby! I got to try out their Award Winning Organic Calming body wash through Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA) and had nothing but good things to say about it as well. Smells good, lasts a long time and cleans so nicely!

One lucky winner is going to get $25 to spend at Baby Baby!! The best part is that you can all get 15% off using code NC00106
