NEW Pampers Cruisers (GIVEAWAY)

Pampers has launched a new line of Pampers Cruisers that will hit the shelves THIS month on March 15th! The new Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max are thinner and more absorbent than ever before. We have been trying out the new Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max and let me tell you…they are fabulous. One of the biggest things that you will notice is just how thin they are. So thin that your little one will be able to wear a smaller size pants compared to when they are wearing one of the thick bulky diapers that we are used to seeing. BUT, that thinness does not affect the amount of liquid that these diapers will hold. They are more absorbent than traditional diapers…making leakage non-existent. The little one that we tried these out on was constantly having problems with leakage at night-time. Mornings were spent washing the bedding until we started using the Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max. Now, the bedding is dry and everyone is happy. Another thing that we have noticed is that she is walking so much better than before…because these diapers are not as thick and bulky between her legs and they are super flexible.

In other words, we LOVE the Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max and have decided that they definitely win the Gold!

Thanks to Pampers, I am hosting a giveaway where  1 lucky reader will win a Liz Lange diaper clutch AND a redeemable coupon for a free week’s supply of diapers  of the all-new Cruisers with Dry Max!

Weil Baby

Do you have a new baby in your life this Christmas? Give them the best with Weil Baby this Holiday Season.

Weil Baby is a healthy and natural line of infant and toddler feeding and accessories products endorsed by Dr. Andrew Weil. Weil Baby offers the best choice for babies, moms and for the environment. The bottles and sippy cups feature the breakthrough AirWave one-piece venting system which has been shown to be better at reducing and eliminating air bubbles ingested by babies and toddlers. That means less colic, gas and spit-up. Weil Baby products are ultra safe and easy to use. Made in the USA out of clear, shatter-resistant glass or Tritan (a nontoxic material free of BPA) offers Moms the highest degree of quality assurance.

How the AirWave^TM Venting System works:

* Threads on both the ring neck and the bottle securely connect the nipple assembly to the bottle.
* Sealing ring on the nipple seats in the bottle neck and positions the nipple in the correct orientation.
* Four protrusions within the bottle neck provide a means for air to enter the bottle.
* The flexible inner ring of the nipple rests against the inside surface of the bottle neck. This allows air to flow into the bottle but prevents fluid from leaking out.

The AirWave^TM Venting System

* Developed by world-class engineers
* Easy to clean One Piece vent
* Designed to outperform leading venting systems.

Weil Baby supplied  a sample product for review, I was in no other way compensated for this post.  All opinions are my own. Please remember that individual results may vary.

Baby Genius

From the time that we are born music has a huge impact on our lives. It influences us and helps us develop in ways that we may or may not know. Baby Genius knows that music makes a difference and they have acted upon that knowledge with innovative, entertaining products featuring music as a core-learning tool. Engaging and encouraging children to communicate, connect, discover, and express themselves.

Baby Genius proudly presents its new developmental toy line. These musically inspired role-play toys feature all of your favorite Baby Genius characters and make perfect gifts for the little ones in your life. Some of my favorites are…

The All in One Musical Band featuring Frankie tambourine, two Tempo maracas, a Vinko flute and a drum with two colorful drumsticks. Your budding musician can play their favorite instrument and march along. Once playtime is over all the instruments store inside the drum for easy clean-up and storage.

The Singing School Bus will help your child get prepared and excited about school. It plays “Wheels on the Bus” and all the characters are removable for extended play. The bus has rolling wheels making it fun for your little one to push around while singing along.

I LOVE Tempo’s Musical Broom! It makes sweeping along with Mom or Dad fun. The easy to push button located on the handle activates 3 phrases, realistic sweeping sounds and Tempo’s great tune. And once the cleaning is done you can press Tempo’s nose to hear him giggle about a job well done.

Baby Genius has many other great toys, DVD’s, and CD’s for children ages 6 months to 2 years, making playtime educational and fun. Check out Baby Genius for perfect gifts for the little joys in your life this Holiday season.

The Scrunch Bottle Bib

Oh my word. Where in the heck was this product when I FIRST started having kids? And why did it take someone so long to come up with this idea? And why wasn’t it me?  I can’t really answer any of these questions. All I can say is I am GLAD  it is here now!

Nothing stinks worse than soured milk. Eww, I hate that smell. And when it get in the creases of a babies neck..not pleasant. It causes rashes. And makes babies uncomfortable. But now, there is a solution. The Scrunch Bottle Bib:

Auntie-Invented and mother approved, the new patent pending Scrunch Bottle Bib® puts an innovative twist on bottle feeding and is now being introduced to the World Wide Web and available for purchase online. This innovative bib for the bottle catches the spills that traditional bibs leave behind and serves as a much needed solution to sour necks and rashes on infants cause by spilled milk.

How great is that? Love it and you will too! The Scrunch Bottle Bib®  is made of 100% cotton and fits all bottle sizes. The product is machine washable and reversible for double usage.

The Scrunch Bottle Bib® is recommended for infants 0+, and is available in various boy, girl and neutral colors and retails for $7.99 each. They also make great unique baby shower gifts for friends and family. Purchase online at www.ScrunchBottleBib.com and the company is offering 10% off your entire order until August 1, 2009 using coupon code “BOSPR616″.

No Throw

Ever been riding down the road trying to drive, trying to remember where you are going and why, trying to keep the little one from throwing their bottle and once they do throw it trying to retrieve it from the cavernous corners of car that are only there when you are trying to reach something all while being sleep deprived because you have a little one? Yep, I am guilty too.

Ever played that game where the little one throws their bottle or sippy cup every 2 minutes because they like to watch you get up and pick it up each and every time? Yep, me too!

Now, there is a solution. Twin Sisters Karla and Karen played the pick the bottle up game one too many times and put their heads together and came up with No Throw. This product is a unique tether and velcro strap that connects to a child’s bottle/cup to prevent it from being thrown. The other end connects to just about anything…stroller, highchair, car seat, airplane seat, bicycle seat, etc.

I LOVE this product! It is ingenious and affordable at a price of $5.00. They also make GREAT gifts! You can find No Throw at places like Walgreens, Publix, select baby boutiques and online at www.nothrow.com

Check them out, they have many different colors and designs to choose from. And your back will love you for it!

MMM - Coon and Cole (GIVEAWAY)

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!!

Welcome to a new version of Feature You Friday…called Meet Me Monday. The response to the Feature You Friday series has been overwhelming, and people have asked me if I would consider opening it up to other artists from around the United States. So, I considered. I pondered. I muddled. And I made the decision that I would expand the feature to include Mondays and artists and craftsmen people from all over. So if you are a artists, or a crafts person and would like to be featured let me know. If you know of someone who you think should be featured, let me know. And now, lets get on with the show and meet Nicole. Nicole runs a shop called Coon and Cole. Well, I will just let her tell you all about it:

I’m originally from Southern California and moved to the South in 2000. I’ve lived in Georgia and Alabama and really like living in Loganville. It is so close to Atlanta, but still a little bit out in the woods. I’ve been married over 3 years to a great GA boy, no kids yet, and we have a crazy lab mix named Boots. I’ve been crafting for years - I love to sew, quilt, make jewelry, and recently taught myself to knit. I love etsy for its ability to share handmade with the world and there are so many talented artists, it is really encouraging. I belong to two etsy groups, search our tags ‘team norga’ and ‘gaetsyteam’ for talented etsy artists in Georgia.

This bib makes me want a little one just to put it on!

My shop name coonandcole comes from family nicknames for my husband and I that our nephew gave us when he was just a baby - the rest of the family has called us that ever since. My husband is really supportive of my craftiness and we are such a team, hence coon and cole!

I originally started quilting and making baby items for friends and family and thought having a shop would be another great outlet to get my craft out there. With all the CPSIA changes out there, testing for me is cost prohibitive, so I’ve changed my focus a bit to more sewn items - pouches, purses, and bags. I recently bought a new sewing machine - I wore my old one out! - and it is has been flying ever since. I’m getting ready for the Hatch Market in Griffin on May 9-10, so I’ve been creating new patterns and making new bags and pouches. I just finished a diaper bag for a client with fabric she picked out and it turned out so great - I love the nature of custom items.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this cute little zippered pouch!

I also have a shop called The Lavendar Mouse, but you will have to wait until later to hear all about that.

And this is my most fav-O-rite item!

Coon and Cole is offering any zipper pouch or bib priced at $10 or under to one lucky reader. Just visit Coon and Cole and then leave a comment here stating what your favorite item is. All entries must be received by April 6th at 5 PM. All entrants must have a valid US mailing address. Winner will be selected using random.org.
