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

Mompact: Review & Giveaway of the Seatpak by babybindle!!!
You have until September 17'th to visit each blog and enter to win them all!
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!!!

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

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!

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

*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.

Fun Finds: HALO ComfortLuxe Sleepwear Giveaway!
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.
The Coverall for babies comes in pink or blue up to size 9 months, and then they also offer 2-piece pajamas for toddlers up to size 4T!

You can buy a pair for your baby or toddler on Amazon!
HALO is offering one of my readers a ComfortLuxe sleeper in any size from newborn to 4T, and in your choice of pink or blue! I'm sure you will love these pajamas as much as I do!
