Adorable Etsy Shop Alert. . . ZoeLynn & Co Review and Giveaway!

If you have as many little girls as I do (or even one little girl, right?), you know how important it is to have ultra-cute accessories to go with every outfit.  We have a whole wall full of hair accessories and I still keep needing more!  Some of the most high-quality ones I have found are these versatile mix-and-match headbands from ZoeLynn & Co!

In fact, I love the Knitty Girl Black headband that I received so much that my little girls don't usually wear it. . . I wear it myself!  Each headband is hand-wrapped in fabric with a meticulous attention to detail.  The headband fits everyone from 12 months old to adult!  So you can share it with your baby or little girl!

The flower clip that attaches to it can also be worn alone.  These headbands are designed so you can wear the headband alone, or the headband with the flower clip attached, or the flower clip alone.  It's so versatile!  The black one that I got matches pretty much everything, and I can switch out flower clips to add pops of color if I want, or add my own clips that I already have to it as well.  You can also clip the flower to your purse, shirt, wherever!  I love it!

ZoeLynn & Co makes solid and satin grosgrain ribbon flowers in every color imaginable!  She loves custom orders, and is happy to create special accessories to match dresses and outfits.  There are so many beautiful options!

ZoeLynn & Co is offering a dazzling giveaway to my readers. . . a sparkle headband in your color of choice!  These are wrapped in metallic ribbon and do not contain glitter so you won't have to worry about glitter all over your hair or house.  :)  AND. . . 

A sparkle flower clip to go with it!  Also in your color of choice!  These flowers are just adorable!  The flower is made of felt with a sparkle center, and encircled by sparkle tulle.  It can be worn with the sparkle headband or by itself!

These sparkle headbands are some of her best-sellers at boutiques in New York City!  It's exciting that she's offering one as a giveaway to one of my readers!

Fabulous Finds...Mohawk Home Rug Review & Giveaway!!!

I am completely addicted to my new area rug.  COMPLETELY.  It's gorgeous, soft, and makes me embarrassed that I lived with the nasty carpet that is my living room for for such a long time.  I always toyed with the idea of covering up the cheap-o carpet with a nice rug, but wasn't sure if it was necessary.  So I was thrilled to be able to review a rug from Mohawk Home, and I picked out a cuddly, creamy white Shag rug.  Wow, what a difference it makes in my home!  I actually find myself wanting to get down on the floor and play with my kids now.  I put this rug in our main living area where we spend most of our time, and now it's hard to imagine how the room looked and felt before I got this rug.   

{Hard for a picture to do a large rug justice, but this is the rug I picked!}
 Mohawk Home offers a HUGE variety of rugs in all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles!  And one of my lucky readers will WIN their own area rug!  Their rugs are stain resistant, durable, and easy to clean.  {I have yet to test out the validity of this statement, since I have now implemented a strict "no food or juice on the rug!" policy that has been working pretty well so far!}

Mohawk Home is the largest manufacturer of area rugs in the US, and their commitment to the style and quality of their rugs really shows bright and clear!  You can browse all of their different products at a whole bunch of major retailers here.  Their rugs are sold at Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond, Kohls, Lowes, Target, Sears, Walmart, and more!  

Here's the really exciting part... The winner of this giveaway will get to choose ANY rug you want, as long as it's 5x8" or smaller (a nice, big size) and with a value up to $150!!!

It's sooooooo easy to enter using this Rafflecopter widget, and you'll want to take a couple extra minutes for the extra entries for this one!  Good luck!!!

Fun Finds: Packing School Lunches! Plus a giveaway!!!

Kirsten is in Pre-K three times a week, and I've now ventured into the world (that I will be in for QUITE a few years ahead of me!) of packing school lunches.  Her school strongly encourages parents to pack a "litter-free lunch" with no individually packaged snacks and ideally nothing that has to be thrown away.  This was a great new challenge for me, since I've become a bit too reliant lately on the handy Ziploc baggies.  But I love the idea!  So great to save money by not buying pre-packaged stuff and Ziplocs, plus we get to teach our kids how to reuse and reduce waste.  :)  In my quest to find litter-free lunch packing supplies, I have come across some GREAT stuff!

One amazing place to find supplies is from Mighty Nest!  Their website has all KINDS of safe and non-toxic products, with a really awesome reusable lunch gear section.  All products they sell are guaranteed to be BPA free, phthalate free, PVC free, melamine free, and lead free!  And they offer free shipping on all orders over $50!

Some stuff I'm loving that I found there includes...

  This is my first ever stainless steel lunch supply, and I'm super impressed!  It's healthier and better for the environment than plastic, and it's dishwasher safe!  It's also cute and the perfect size.  I love the divider so it can contain two different kinds of snacks!  I want to get these in all the different sizes now.

I am also loving the Bigger Bites Silicone Storage Jars!
The bright, fun colors are adorable, and they come in a set of 2!  These are so unique and inventive!  They are microwave-safe (tough to find with food storage containers that aren't glass!), freezer-safe, and dishwasher-safe, and the silicone material is bacteria-resistant.

It's so easy to find fun and reusable lunch supplies at Mighty Nest!

Another handy little supply I've found that is seriously genius is the Tiny Bites Food Shears!  These food shears cut absolutely everything!  They make it insanely easy to cut food into bite-size pieces for little ones, or into fun shapes, letters, and numbers!  These won the National Parents Center Seal of Approval and the Mom's Choice Awards in 2010.

Created by parents, these Food Shears have stainless steel blades and come in a pack of 2, so you can take one wherever you go in your diaper bag and stop asking for knives to cut your child's food at restaurants!  They come with childproof protective blade covers, and are dishwasher-safe, BPA-free, and lead-free.
And such a super deal, at $9.99 for a set of 2 including free shipping!
They will cut through pretty much any food you'll want to feed your child, and they have a great page with feeding tips and ideas for what you can use your food shears for!  See how handy these shears are?





And another place to find great reusable supplies for lunches or all aspects of your life is reuseit.com.  They also offer free shipping on orders over $50, and they have a rigorous selection products for which items they will sell.  If products earn their seal of approval, they will sell them!  So you can rest easy knowing that everything you buy from their website has been thoroughly tested for high quality.

I absolutely adore what I selected to test out from their shop. . . 
the Slice of Summer Dabbawalla Lunch Bag!  Seriously, how cute is that???

Why it's so great:

*It's made of neoprene!  This material is incredibly insulating and keeps cold foods cool for hours.  It's also lightweight, so it protects food without adding bulk.  Plus it's soft and really easy for kids to carry!
*It's freaking adorable!  I love the watermelon design!
*It's really big!  It's the perfect size to fit all those cute little reusable lunch containers that I featured up above, plus a drink!  And it zips up easily too.
*It folds flat for easy storage!
*It's actually machine-washable!

This is just my favorite lunch bag I've ever seen!  You can get one for your kids (or anything else from the reuseit.com website) if you enter this giveaway. . . One winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to reuseit.com!

I'm using Rafflecopter again (loving this!  It's SO easy to enter stuff!  If you have feedback about it, please leave me a comment!)  So comments made on this post will not count as entries.  To enter, please use the widget!

Mompact: Review & Giveaway of the Seatpak by babybindle!!!

I'm thrilled to be participating in the Mompact Blog Hop!!!
Over 120 bloggers are participating, and all are giving away awesome products and prizes, all from businesses that are owned and created by mom! This is such a great way to support mom-owned businesses! And the products are seriously amazing!
You have until September 17'th to visit each blog and enter to win them all!
The product that I chose to review and giveaway is the SeatPak by babybindle!

All of us as moms know what it's like to feel weighted down by a huge, massively heavy diaper bag that puts dents in your shoulders and is overflowing with all kinds of stuff. But sometimes you're just running someplace with your baby for a short amount of time, and you need something small! Something compact! The SeatPak fits all of these needs, and the coolest part... it attaches right on to your infant carseat or stroller!!! Totally genius! No wonder it was a Huggies Award-winning product!
Why I love the SeatPak:

*It's got just the right amount of space for quick trips out with your baby! It fits some diapers and wipes, binkies, a bottle, my wallet, and some small toys. And I love the outside pocket, it's the perfect place to put your cell phone and keys!
*I'm no longer bogged down by my huge, heavy bag AND the carseat! I can just put a few things into the SeatPak, grab the carseat, and go!
*It's a breeze to use, and attaches so easily onto the handle of your carseat.
*It looks sleek and cute. Comes in chocolate brown or black!

The SeatPak would make such an awesome baby shower gift for a new mom! It's so clever and original!
And one of my readers will WIN one!!!

I'm also excited to introduce a brand new way to enter giveaways on my blog. . . Rafflecopter! I've heard tons of great things about Rafflecopter and how much easier it makes it for my readers to enter my giveaways! So here goes!!!
And when you're done here, hop on over to Yankee Texan Mom to check out her review and giveaway of BeeStractors!

Fun Finds. . . Laurie Berkner Band DVD Review & Giveaway!

It's a party in your living room any day with the Laurie Berkner Band's new DVD, 'Party Day!'

The characters are really engaging, and they travel to a costume party, a birthday party, and then a pajama party throughout the show.

If your kids are Nick Jr. fans, they will already be familiar with this band, since many of their songs are featured on Nick Jr. Their music is a ton of fun, and very catchy!

Fabulous Finds: HD Media Services Video Transfers Review & Giveaway!

If you're like me, you have a whole pile of VHS tapes or miniDV tapes sitting in your closet. They're unwatchable but full of great memories! I've had the idea for a really long time of converting them to DVD's, but I just kept forgetting about it and never actually doing it. So I was thrilled to review the video transfer services offered by HD Media Services.

I love the DVD's I received from them! It's so great to actually be able to watch all my videos from college and my travels that I took with my video camera onto miniDV's. HD Media Services worked fast and sent each DVD along with all my miniDV tapes. It was like Christmas when I opened it and started watching the DVD's! The quality of the DVD's is great, and they include a plastic case for each one. They use image stabilization and color correction in their transfering, and they'll also clean and repair your tapes! And it's a great deal too, at $12.95 to transfer most formats of tapes to a DVD. Extra copies are only $4.95!

HD Media Services offers many other services as well, including transferring tapes to hard drive or AVI files for your own editing, or editing discs for you with music and even putting them onto a Blu-Ray disc! They have a 365 day money-back guarantee, and very easy-to-follow instructions about how to box up your tapes and get your order in. It was much easier to get those tapes of mine converted than I thought it would be!

HD Media Services is giving two of my readers the chance to try out their services, by giving away 2 $25 gift certificates for video transfer and conversion services!

Fabulous Finds. . . Rubbermaid Glass with Easy-Find Lids Giveaway!

Does your food container cupboard look anything like mine? Gosh, mine is a complete disaster. A messed up mish-mash of various plastic and glass food storage containers, with the lids shoved into all different places and nothing matching, nothing together. It's my least favorite kitchen cupboard, that's for sure.

I now want to replace ALL my flimsy, mismatched tupperware with Rubbermaid Glass with Easy-Find Lids! I received an awesome 8-piece set to review (the same set one of my readers will win!!!) and I completely love them!

*The Easy Find Lids system helps keep your cabinets organized by having the lids snap to the bottom of the container and to each other to make finding the right lid quick and easy. No more messy cabinets! Seriously!

*I love their versatility! You can take them from the fridge to the microwave and then straight to the table, and not use multiple containers that you later have to wash. They're made with tempered glass that is oven safe up to 425°F (lids are not oven safe). The lids and containers are microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe.

*The glass bases are designed to stack neatly, which saves space and prevents them from getting stuck together.

*They look really nice on a table, so there's no need to switch food to a separate bowl for serving. Less dishes to wash!

*The quality of these are really the best I've seen for food storage containers. The glass is heavy duty and the lids are sturdy and don't bend at all in the microwave or dishwasher.

Deal Alert: Go here to print a coupon for $1.50 off 1 glass food storage container!!!

The winner of this giveaway will win an 8-piece food storage set of Rubbermaid glass with easy-find lids!

Here's how to enter to win this awesome set:

Fun Finds: HALO ComfortLuxe Sleepwear Giveaway!

I'm so thrilled that I found some awesome new pajamas for my baby! I always loved the HALO Sleep Sacks, and now they've come up with something brand new and very innovative. . .
Comfortluxe sleepwear!

So how is it different from other pajamas?

HALO Comfortluxe is a revolutionary new fabric that breathes much better than cotton and helps promote healthier skin. It works by regulating body temperature and wicking moisture away from the skin where it evaporates quickly. This helps babies to stay cooler when it's warm and warmer when it's cool! The fabric is breathable and lightweight, and very comfortable for babies. The fabric has been awarded the Seal of Acceptance by the National Eczema Organization. Babies who wear the ComfortLuxe can have their sensitive skin soothed, since the fabric reduces the itch/scratch cycle that can lead to irritation, discomfort, and flare-ups.

This has been perfect for my baby Brooke, who has sensitive skin and has suffered from eczema for about six months now. In the past we've put her to bed in regular pajamas and when she wakes up we find scratches all over her poor little body!

Fun Finds. . . B2S Bloggie Boogie Giveaway Event!!!

I'm really excited to be teaming up with the Back 2 School Bloggie Boogie Giveaway Event!!!
This giveaway hop runs from July 17-31'st, and I'm offering a gorgeous giveaway package of $75 worth of handmade clothing and accessories from Etsy shops! Perfect for any little girl in your life!

When you enter this giveaway, you can ALSO enter to win a $500 cash grand prize (!!!!!), provided by our event sponsor, Save and Make Moola. Head over here to enter for the grand prize.

So here is my *Prize #1*, modeled by my very own cute little baby, Brooke!
LinkA custom tutu from Social Salutations in colors of your choice, valued at $25!

Doesn't Brooke look adorable in this tutu? She wore it for her 6 month photo shoot, and it was the perfect accessory! Social Salutations makes her tutus with gorgeous accents, like satin flowers and ribbons! It's easy to see why tutus are so popular for little girls right now... they are just TOO cute! And they come in sizes from newborn up to 5T!

I love all the variety in the Social Salutations shop. Along with tutus, she also makes cards and stationary, and fun headbands in bright, happy colors like this one!

*Prize #2* $25 gift certificate to the Dayspring Dresses Etsy shop!

I'm so in love with this little damask and polkadot ruffle peasant dress. SO in love! The colors, the mix of patterns, the unique design. . . Can't I buy one in my size?

Dayspring Dresses produces handmade dresses for little girls, and the fabrics she chooses are all so beautiful and high quality! She specializes in smocking and monogramming. I received a dress for my little girl to review, and I was blown away by the quality of the workmanship and the fabric. She loves to create custom dresses for little girls, and will give each piece lots of special attention. I love this dress that I got:

*Prize #3* A $25 gift certificate to the Posh Lily Etsy shop!

I love the combo packs of cute girlie accessories available in this shop! Posh Lily sells handmade clips, flowers, headbands, hats, and beanies. The combo packs are such a great idea! You can mix and match everything that comes in them! The clips can be worn alone or attached to the headbands and beanies. You get a lot of bang for your buck! These would make perfect baby shower gifts!
