Mama Cloth Pads Giveaway at The Cloth Diaper Report

The Cloth Diaper Report is having a review and giveaways of different type of mama cloth. This was just an easy transition for me, since I already started cloth diapering Baby Girl! I think mama cloths are more comfortable than the disposable kind. I don't feel the "wetness" that I do with disposable.

Our Handmade Gifts { Review and Giveaway }

OurHandmadeGifts.com

Deborah Carney is the designer for this Custom Photo Pendant (on left) that I received at Our Handmade Gifts.

I personally like personalization and custom pieces, especially as gifts! It just makes it much more special. I have the opportunity to receive a custom photo of my kids as one-of-a-kind necklace piece. (Sorry about the photo, this is a 2nd retake! It's either to yellow or not light enough .) I added the pic of the pendant that Deborah took on the right side. You can see the rich color in it and much better detail!

"I discovered the joy of fabrics on polymer clay at the beginning of 2009. I absolutely love the way art and photography looks on canvas and then attached to a clay backing." -Deborah Carney
Here are some details about the product I received:
Size (in inches): approx 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 - Size will depend on image dimensions (rectangle, square, horizontal or vertical)
Fabric: Canvas
Polymer Clay: White
Components: Each pendant includes an embedded eye pin, a jump ring, and black leather 18" neck cord (also can request as a keyring)

Here is quote taken from the FAQ section about their handmade jewelry:

"Much of our jewelry is handmade and those that are will be clearly marked. Items that have a Designer's name are handmade, and handmade in the USA. We also use made in the USA components and findings whenever possible. Some crystals and semi-precious gems are not available as "made in the USA" but you can be sure that the jewelry piece is made in the USA by the Designer noted.

Our designers are proud to be creating jewelry that you will enjoy wearing and that you can give as gifts confident in the knowledge that each piece is unique in it's own way. Wire jewelry is more consistently similar, but since each piece is made individually there will be some variations. The jewelry made with beads, crystals and stones will always be different from any other piece because no two stones are identical. Every piece will be unique, which is part of the beauty of handmade items."

Buy It: The Custom Photo Pendant retails for $49.97. Use this Coupon Code: REVIEW to receive 25% off any order on Our Handmade Gifts AND/OR at Cool Butterflies!!! But guess what!

Deborah has generously offered a giveaway for you guys. I picked the Cream Jasper with Red, Green, Gold Beads Earrings
to celebrate the New Year. "Earrings are made with creamy jasper stone and tiny red, green and gold Czech glass beads, with a little circle dangle with beads at the bottom." This earring is retailed for $15. Deborah is also the designer for these earrings.

Why did I pick this earring? It reminds me of the upcoming Chinese New Year on February 14, 2010. It's the year of the Tiger, which is my year! Green (health and prosperity) is my fav color and the white stone looks like it could be white jade. The red symbolizes good luck or happiness. Gold also symbolizes good luck and fortune.

Win it: Mandatory Entry: Visit Our Handmade Gift and let me know of another products that you would like to own. This giveaway will end on January 25 at 1159PM CST. Giveaway is available in the USA! Winners will have 72 hrs to respond or another winner will be picked.

Holiday Gift Set from SproutBaby

This Holiday Gift Set is the newest items available on SproutBaby. Is the holiday officially over after New Year ?


Nature Babycare – The makers of the most eco-friendly disposable diapers available in the market. Nature Babycare diapers consist of 99% compostable material, making them a great biodegradable option to traditional disposable diapers. I received a couple of these to try out. I used it for nighttime. Since it is disposable, it is safe to use diaper creams on these. I had no problems with leaks. Luckily, Baby Girl didn't have any problem with rashes. She had rashes for awhile and I think she might be sensitive to dairy like her brother. We had to use an antibiotic cream (Mupirocin) for awhile! I think that did the treat because her diaper rash isn't coming back if I limit her dairy. I like the disposable aspect for traveling.

Episencial Skin Care – The first company to create an all-natural and fully sustainable skin care line for babies and families. The lotion actually reminds me of the smell of Whole Food Store. All the herbs and scents of different products in one! I received the Better Butter Lotion, so I was expecting it to be thick but that wasn't the case. (I actually prefer thicker lotion, though.) The two younger kids get all lather up after each bathtime. We do use a lot of lotions and creams at our house, especially in the winter months!

Cleanwell – The environmentally friendly company creating green sanitizers perfect for fighting those pesky germs, and keeping your family clean and healthy. I received the All-Natural Hand Sanitizer (in the middle). It's a spray and has a fliptop! The spray has 4x more uses per oz, to about 225+ sprays. This is going into my diaper bag. With 3 kids I need this!

Babyganics – A brand specializing in creating cleaning products that are not only baby safe, but also environmentally friendly. These products will clean your house and leave you with a clean conscience. I received the Grime Fighter On-the-Go spray. Small and conviently fits nicely in my diaper bag. This would be great for spraying on high chair and table when we go out to eat!

Now thru December 31st you can save 30% on selected items on SproutBaby!

Thank you SproutBaby for letting me do a review of the Holiday Gift Set.

Thank You, Neighbor

We actually made it home yesterday over the Xmas break. To our surprise one of our neighbor shovel our driveway! Over the weekend the Kansas City area had a small blizzard, probably a few inches.

My brother and his family was unable to make it to my mom's from Oklahoma. Oklahoma was declared state of emergency. My nephew wrote on Facebook that it was "The worst Christmas ever!" Poor guy!

My other sister actually made it into town with a 7-hrs drive from Texas! They made it after their 2nd attempt of leaving in the afternoon.

Anyways, thank you for shovelling the driveway. Thank you!!!

Fiber Gummies { Review and Giveaway }

"In 2009 the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) significantly increased the recommended daily fiber intake standards, far above the previous “age plus five” rule. In fact, today’s updated guidelines recommend 25 grams of fiber per day for four-year-old children. But how do we meet these requirements and get our children to eat high in fiber foods? … especially with the holidays around the corner and busy schedules kicking into gear."

What does fiber do?

Fiber helps promote regularity*
Fiber is part of the USDA recommended diet
Fiber aids in digestion*
Fiber helps maintain a healthy diet
Fiber helps relieve constipation*
Fiber softens and loosens stool*
Fiber helps improve bowel function*
Fiber makes elimination more comfortable*
Fiber helps support gastrointestinal health

Product Details:

For kids ages 2-11
1.5 grams of fiber per gummy
Source of fiber: Polydextrose
Penguin-shaped gummies deliver fiber in a chewable, kid-friendly form
Sugar-free, zero calories
Great tasting, all natural fruit flavors
Xylitol, the sweetener used in Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies may reduce the risk of cavities
Easy to incorporate into daily routine
This product is not a laxative
Supplement Facts
Dentist approved
Recommended serving:
Kids 2-11: 1 gummy, 3 times daily

* This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies by Fleet can help. It is recommend that 2-3 years old need at least 19 gms and more as you get older! One slice of white bread has 0.55 gm of fiber while one cup of dried apricot has 10.5gms of fiber. Visit Fiber 101 to see more of the food list.

My kids love, love these Fiber Gummies! Sissy says it "taste sweeter" than the vitamin gummies and they're softer, too. The only thing I notice is the color of Bubbie's poo is slightly greener but (no pun intented here ) no change in consistency. I still haven't been able to get Bubbie to start wiping his own butt yet! He adamantly refused to do it. I know he can't independently do it but I want him to try at least. Sissy was already trying at 2! (When he pees he thinks if he "shake a bootie" or barely touching the toliet paper to his body, he won't need to wash his hands! Are all boys like this?) Sissy has no complaint for me.
