As the busy, often frazzled mother of a baby and a toddler, I am always on the lookout for products that are multi-purpose and can grow with my children. Who wants to buy something that only has the shelf life of a couple of months? Not me! However, it seems that when it comes to baby and toddler products, this is often the case. Since I have 2 babies, I do end up getting to reuse products as Xander catches up with his older sister. But I love products that they can BOTH use, even though they're 12 months apart in age and at very different developmental stages. That's why I was so excited to learn about the awesome product line from Jahgoo. Haven't heard of Jahgoo? Trust me, you will. This unique company is dedicated to providing modern, elegantly designed baby gear that is also compact and doesn't require a strong man to move it around. Jahgoo puts a ton of thought into their sleek, innovative designs. The products are ergonomically designed to fit baby just right, and they are attractive enough to leave out in plain view. No more shoving clunky, cutesy baby gear into closets when company comes! Jahgoo's products are modern, beautiful, and even better, they are affordable! So while people think you paid an arm and a leg at some fancy boutique, you can simply smile and nod, being the envy of the neighborhood for having such cool baby gear. I promise that I won't tell. It'll be our little secret! Just mark my words: Stylish, in the know parents will be turning to Jahgoo for many years to come! My daughter will be 2 on New Year's Eve. (Can you imagine what her birthday parties will be like when she's a teen? Eeeek!) Sophie has always been rather independent, and now that she's approaching her 2nd year, I think it just might be time to start potty training. I was absolutely thrilled to receive the Jahgoo 3-in-1 Potty for my review. First of all, this is no ordinary potty. There aren't any hard to assemble parts, and the design is ingeniously simple. The 3-in-1 Potty is ergonomically designed and comfortable for baby to sit on. The reservoir is easy to remove for uncomplicated cleaning. No need to tug at a potty full of pee (or worse) trying to get it loose for emptying. I admit, when my 11 year old was potty training, I have had this happen and actually got splashed in the face with God knows what! YUCK! Well, with the Jahgoo 3-in-1 Potty, this will never be an issue. (Whew!) The removable non-slip toilet seat fits perfectly on any toilet seat. So when my kids feel that they're too old for the "baby potty" but not quite old enough for a big person toilet, I can simply rest the non-slip toilet seat onto the regular toilet, and voila! The perfect transitional potty for a growing kid! And no more getting little bums wet due to falls into the toilet water. The stool can be used as a foot rest when sitting on the big toilet, or as a stand-alone step stool. When the child is fully potty trained, the stable step stool turns into a handy tool for all those hard-to-reach places around the house as it holds both children and adults. How cool is that?! Take a look! Okay, so you all know that Step2 is one of my absolute favorite companies. I adore their wide selection of durable, innovative toys. As a matter of fact, their Welcome Home Playhouse is on my daughter's birthday Wish List! I just wanted to quickly tell you about a great contest Step2 has going on. Now through November 20, 2011, families can enter the Step2 Big Imaginations Are Cooking contest by submitting an essay (150 words or less) that tells a story about their kids playing in an imaginative, unstructured way. To demonstrate and inspire contestants, the site also showcases the full line of Step2 play kitchens plus four videos from bloggers showcasing their belief in the importance of imaginative and creative play for their own children. On November 23, ten finalists will be chosen to receive a Step2 play kitchen of their choice and a video camera to capture their kids playing with their new kitchen. It’s then up to Step2’s Facebook fans to vote for their favorite video between December 12 and January 8 to determine the winner, who will receive the $5,000 grand prize. How cool is that?! So 10 very lucky families will get a Step2 play kitchen, a video camera, AND a shot at a whopping $5,000.00!! Yeah, I will definitely be entering!

Without further ado, here are my WINNERS! Tommee Tippee: Tosha P. EdenFantasys: Jen H. Comforts For Baby: Jennifer Huff Huey Sibu Beauty: Rita S. Aloette: Angela W. Congratulations! I have e-mailed you all, and you have 48 hours to claim your prizes before I am forced to re-draw new winners. Be sure to check your spam folders, too! Here in Virginia, I live in a town that is a charming mix between city and rural life. I live within 10 minutes of both major shopping and horse farms! While technically, this is "suburbia", there is something extra special about the atmosphere in my town because it still has good old fashioned, country values. The people are friendlier, the local flavor more pronounced, and we have some of the best farmer's markets around! And this is all while remaining a stone's throw away from bustling Washington, DC. I think it's safe to say, we love this place! Not only is my town a great place to raise a family, we have a style all our own here. When you're out and about in my area, you'll see a charming mix of high fashion and western wear. It's not odd to see cowboy (or girl) boots with some killer skinny jeans, and you'll even see a cowboy hat or two! I know many people who equate western style clothing with farms and rodeos, but this unique style is actually quite fashionable, with choices that you'd find on and off the ranch. You might even find them on Rodeo Drive! That's why I was so excited when I discovered Langston's Western Wear. Now I am no "cowgirl" and I don't live on a farm. I am your typical, suburban mom. I drive a Mercedes instead of a pick-up truck, and I am terrified of horses. While I love the fact that there are many local farms, you'll never find me working on one. But the great thing about Langston's? Their gorgeous selection of clothing, boots, and more is tough enough for the farm but cute enough for everyday wear, whether you're a cowboy or not! Take a look at a few of my favorite items from this amazing Western Wear shop! As a mom, I am always looking for nutritious snacks for my family. Sure, there are tons of snacking options out there, but I don't like just handing my kids cookies and chips all the time. With all of the fat, preservatives, and added chemicals, can you blame me? My biggest challenge has been finding products that are not only more nutritionally sound, but that also taste good. I have tried many, many all-natural snacks, and not all of them tasted very good. In fact, I have tried some that actually taste like cardboard. Now I know if I won't want to eat something, neither will my kids. We all want to enjoy eating, right? And what's the point of eating healthier foods if they don't taste good? This leaves parents with quite a dilemma! That's why I was so excited to get the opportunity to try Crunchmaster Multi-Grain Crackers. Sure, I have tried many varieties of multi-grain products. Some I loved, some....well, not so much. But Crunchmaster Multi-Grain Crackers really ARE different. Crunchmaster Multi-Grain Crackers from TH Foods are a delicious, natural alternative to traditional processed wheat crackers. With a blend of pure, California brown rice, stone-ground corn, oat fiber, and a four seed blend, Crunchmaster Multi-Grain Crackers are oven-baked and have 65% less fat than regular multi-grain chips. They are a good source of fiber, are free of saturated fat and cholesterol, are certified gluten-free, and contain 21g of whole grains per serving. I have a few lucky winners to announce this morning! You've all been e-mailed and have 48 hours to respond and claim your prizes! Thanks to everyone who entered, and make sure to check out my current giveaways! I have some GREAT ones, including the Win Your Gifts Holiday Hop!
Without further ado, here are my WINNERS!!! Congrats! Renuzit: Lisa Melissa Jen ReNew Life: Stephanie G. Karen Kane: Jenny @ dapperhouse Anyone who knows me in real life can tell you, I struggled for YEARS with an out of control soda addiction. From about 13-26, it was a 2 liter bottle of Mountain Dew every single day. (Eeeek!) After that, I switched to Dr. Pepper. This addiction was not only unhealthy, it put me on the fast track to diabetes and other health issues. I knew I had to do something, because I didn't want to open myself up to such awful health problems. Not to mention, I wanted to lose weight. Several months ago, I stopped drinking regular soda altogether. I mean, I quit cold turkey. Once I got past the initial witchiness brought on by caffeine withdrawl headaches, I discovered how to "trick" my taste buds into thinking I was having soda, even though I wasn't. How did I accomplish this? With flavored, sparking waters! They gave me the fizziness I was accustomed to as well as the flavor that I craved. All this without the massive amounts of sugars and the unwanted, empty calories. I am a huge fan of sparking waters, and I drink them all the time now. I also have diet sodas as well, but in moderation. That's why I was thrilled to get the opportunity to review the sparkling waters with juice from Cascade Ice. These tasty, sparkling waters are only 2 calories a serving, are gluten, caffeine and sodium free, and they come in some mouthwatering flavors like Coconut, Acai Blueberry Pomegranate, and even Strawberry Chocolate! As a matter of fact, there are 3 different varieties of Cascade Ice and 33 tempting flavors! You want cocktail mixers? Check! Standard sparking waters? Check, check! And then of course there is the sparkling water with juice. Your taste buds won't have time to get bored, that's for sure! I am a huge fan of natural body care products. Not only are they better because they are made with time tested ingredients inspired by nature, they are also generally free of chemicals and additives that can, over prolonged use, do more harm than good to the skin. My general rule of thumb? If you cannot pronounce what's in a product, you probably shouldn't be putting it on your body! Over the past few years I have been far more conscious of the personal care products that I use as well as those I use on my children. I don't want to slather my kids in products that are full of parabens, pthalates, chemicals, and dyes. Some people are a bit wary of organic or natural products. There is a stigma attached to such products that they don't work as well as their non-organic counterparts. In some cases, this is true. But there are tons of fantastic green products out there that work just as well if not better than conventional products. You just need to know what to look for when it comes to ingredients! One of my favorite ingredients is coconut oil. Did you know that the coconut tree is often referred to as the “tree of life”? Why? Because coconut oil is full of natural healing properties that repair your body both internally and externally. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so start using nature’s best ingredients to heal and protect your skin to keep you beautiful and healthy! Coconuts do wonders for the hair, skin, and even nails, and since pure virgin coconut oil is totally natural, it does not irritate the skin. Even for those with existing skin conditions! |
