~~Boudreaux’s Butt Paste Giveaway~~

What do Zeke and the Boudreax products people have in common?
They both like soft, rash free bottoms!!

The fine folks at Boudreaux’s Butt Paste were generous enough to send me some samples of their great product. The lip product we used immediately because Zeke has a forever case of dry chappy lips. Let me tell you, it worked great! Made them soft and kissable and he didn't seem to mind the taste because he kept licking it. We were kissing on him as always and it didn't make our lips feel greasy at all.

They also sent me some samples, a hat and a cute bib to give one of my readers.

So if you want to try out the greatest baby products just leave a comment here and you are entered! You will be getting a bib, a hat and a sample pack of the Boudreaux's Butt Paste, Butt Bath and Butt Smooth.

If you are looking for the most awesome stroller you can find, that can be used for years with added accessories. I have found it! Not only that, but highchairs, seats, and bassinets. Come on and let's check out the MUTSY site!!

Information from the MUTSY site:
Mutsy, originally founded as Mutsaerts in 1935, got its start building traditionally styled prams. Initially serving the Benelux countries of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, the idea of portability and comfort were critical given these countries’ emphasis on walking. The result was larger than normal, full swivel wheels to provide exceptional maneuverability and a smoother ride for baby.
Mutsy is known for not only a line with great design but great functionality as well.
The Mutsy collection is expertly designed to meet parents' every need with a unique modular system that is extremely flexible.
Mutsy is sold in components so parent can buy the frame only, the frame and seat only, frame and bassinet, etc., etc. An intelligent click mechanism allows for component to be easily interchanged with a single movement. This flexible system also allows for a child to grow with the stroller for years.

STROLLER LINE:
Slider~~ A new, innovative and more convenient and compact mobility system from Mutsy featuring high quality fabric with a sophisticated look on a unique two part frame.

The 4Rider collection: Interchangeability at its best, the collection includes the contemporary minimalist styled 4 Rider, the sporty 4Rider Light and the 4Rider "Next" with its sleek leather handle.

4Rider~~ Mutsy's signature modern style with edgy, single spoked wheel. The minimalist profile of the 4Rider was designed to allow full, unencumbered access to the basket. It provides a unique and easy fold with an easy to engage folding mechanism.

4Rider Next~~ The 4Rider "Next" offers the extraordinary functionality and cutting edge style of the 4Rider with the addition of a fashionable leather handle.

4Rider Light~~As the name implies, this lighter weight version of the 4Rider features durable rubber tires on jaunty spoked wheels. A quick and easy fold, single hand adjustable handle and large accessible basket make 4Rider Light ideal for both outdoor and urban use.
Spider~~Revolutionary in design technology. Featuring an extremely unique 3 wheel design. Folds into an incredibly compact unit. Great for travels with baby anywhere and everywhere.

The bassinet features a strong handle to carry a sleeping baby, a mattress pad and cover and several zip storage compartments for baby's essentials. The full size hood is protective for a newborn, keeping sun and elements away from baby and can easily be removed when using indoors.

~Lauren Nicole Irresistible Monogrammed Gifts Giveaway~

CLOSED
I went out to get the mail today and was surprised with a package. It was from Lauren Nicole Gifts and since I had ordered it less than 4 days ago I was very pleasantly surprised that it was here already.

I opened the box and was again surprised at the cute packaging:

Then I opened the small box and WOW!!!!!

I cannot take a focused picture to save my life so this picture does not do the necklace any justice. It is absolutely georgous!!! I got it with a "Z" for Zariah & Zeke, with the beads representing their birthstones. I took it in to Jacki and she said immediately how much she loved it and for her that is rare!! She usually has to look at things for a few days before she decides if she likes it.
I think I am going to order one for all the kids for Christmas this year, they will make wonderful gifts! In fact maybe the whole family and all my friends will get one too!

Denise at Lauren Nicole Gifts was so generous to me and I am excited to say that she has offered the Hand Stamped Sterling Silver Necklace with 1/2" Charm & Beads to one of my readers. How cool is that? All you have to do is go over the Lauren Nicole Gifts, take a look around and then come back and tell me what else they have that you would love to have.

Mademoiselle Jewelry Giveaway

CLOSED

What can I say about this palm tree necklace from Mademoiselle Jewelry???

In a word.......
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
"If you saw the 2008 romantic comedy, Fool's Gold, starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, you probably felt compelled to immediately hop a plane to some remote island and go scuba diving. Or, you probably wanted to run out to a store and immediately purchase Kate Hudson's Palm Tree Necklace! This cute little palm tree pendant was seen dangling around her neck throughout the entire movie. Read on to find out where you can get an identical one, at 1/3 the price!
Kate Hudson cherished her palm tree necklace so much, she was even seen wearing it off the set around town. Sometimes by itself, sometimes mixed with several other colorful necklaces, to complete the trendy layered look. Either way, this breezy pendant is a lovely addition to your accessory bin.
The only problem is, if you did your research you must have found out that Kate Hudson's Palm Tree Necklace is made at Tiffany & Co. and sells for a steamy $1,900! For those of you who have slightly more reasonable price standards, this is not an acceptable purchase, no matter how hard you try to justify it.
But don't fret, because you can purchase a nearly-identical looking palm tree necklace for under $40! Not only that but they make a great gift for the surf-board riding, island dwelling diva in your life. This price-healthy alternative is made of the exact same high-quality .925 sterling silver that Tiffany's boasts, but instead has diamond color cubic zirconias embedded in its design. I mean sure we would all love to have the real diamond version, but the replica just makes better price sense."
Mademoiselle Jewelry - a company that was founded on the principal that jewelry is art. Mademoiselle Jewelry specializes in unique jewelry, sterling silver jewelry and designer jewelry. Each piece of jewelry is hand selected for quality, uniqueness, and creativity. Mademoiselle Jewelry also carries jewelry lines specifically designed for men and children."

Michelle over at Mademoiselle Jewelry has genrously offered to give one of my readers one of these wonderful necklaces. All you have to do is go over the Mademoiselle Jewelry, take a look around and then come back and tell me what else they have that you would love to have.

Pocket Purifier Giveaway

Swine Flu, Influenza, colds, coughs, infections....... we all share them unintentionally, but would you do something so easy a child can do it to stop the spread of these???? I know I would and I have found the greatest thing to do it with and I wasn't kidding about it being easy enough a child could do it. And it comes in a super cool pink as well as the original black, my way of keeping my husband from taking it!!
Purely Enterprises has a great product called the Pocket Purifier and boy does it work!!! It is a ultraviolet, germ eliminating light that you can use on surfaces like telephones, toys, things on your desk, kitchen surfaces, pacifiers, bathrooms and so much more. And easy????? I would say so! It takes about 10-15 seconds and items that carry the germs that cause these illnesses are gone! The ultraviolet light destroys viruses, bacteria, fungi and even mold spores that cause colds and flu, e-coli, samonella and staphylococcous. How freaking cool is that??

It runs on 4 AA batteries so you don't have to buy those expensive button batteries and it is also a flashlight! I took ours camping and used it to disinfect the public potty after using the flashlight to make my way there without tripping over anything.

This is what the web site has to say:

"Features & Benefits
Built in 4 watt germicidal ultraviolet light, deactivates the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens destroying their ability to multiply.
The specially designed UV-Lid™ helps avoid any harm of ultraviolet light to eyes and skin and also enhances the germ-killing function.
Suitable for purifying masks, kitchen utensils, telephone sets, nail clippers, scissors, baby toys, pacifiers, cribs, strollers and most everyday items.
Powered by 4 (AA) batteries for easy carrying and safe usage."

Erica from Purely Enterprises has generously offered to give one of these great products to one of my readers so go check them out and come back and tell me what you think makes this the best germ killer ever or why you can't live without it

EarCheck giveaway

Earache???
No money to waste on a co-pay??
Not sure if you really need to even go to the doctor?
Not anymore. Simply use the EarCheck monitor and you can save yourself the trip if you just have a fussy child or baby. Check out the product information below and let me know what you think!

Product Information
EarCheck® Middle Ear Monitor is the first clinically proven home-use monitor that accurately detects middle ear fluid, a key sign of an ear infection.

Used by pediatricians for years, EarCheck helps you identify:

If your child might have an ear infection
When it's necessary to seek medical attention
When the fluid is going away or gone
All in the convenience of your own home!

Fast: With the touch of a button, quickly detect the presence of middle ear fluid accurately and painlessly.

Accurate: Clinically proven and used by pediatricians; FDA cleared and UL approved.

Easy to use: Provides results in seconds in just a few easy steps.

Safe: Designed to be gentle on a child's delicate ear - ages 6 months and up

The EarCheck® Middle Ear Monitor uses gentle sound waves to accurately and painlessly detect the presence of middle ear fluid, a key sign of an ear infection. This is the same patented and proven acoustic reflectometry technology used by thousands of physicians since 1997, and is a technique recommended by the American Academies of Pediatrics and Family Physicians.1

Simply place the tip of EarCheck® into the child's outer ear canal and press the SCAN button; the monitor works by sending a pleasant chirping sound into the ear canal. Some of this sound bounces off the eardrum and travels back to the instrument's built-in microphone. EarCheck® then analyzes the reflected sound to determine if the eardrum is working normally. If there is fluid in the ear, the eardrum's vibrations may be restricted. The greater the fluid level, the greater the reflected sound. Within only seconds, you will be able to determine if your child has fluid in the middle ear.

Use EarCheck® Middle Ear Monitor if your child:
Shows signs of an ear infection
Is being treated for an ear infection
Has a cold
Suffers from frequent ear infections

The signs of a middle ear infection can range from mild to severe, but often include the following: Fluid in the middle ear
Runny/stuffy nose or cough
Irritability
Pulling or rubbing the ear (indicating ear pain)
Decrease in appetite
Fever
It is important to note that fluid may be present in the middle ear without an active infection; this is called otitis media with effusion and is often associated with an oncoming ear infection or recovery from one.

NOTE: EarCheck® indicates the likelihood of fluid during time of testing. It is important to keep in mind that middle ear fluid is not always constant and may appear rapidly and then quickly go away. Your doctor is the best source of information about your child's health. If your child is sick, consult your doctor.

They are available at Walmart, CVS and BabiesRUs or you can go to their web site and order one. She is offering readers a 20% discount when you enter coupon code TWEET20 at http://www.earcheck.com/.

Maria at EarCheck.com has offered to give one of these to one of my readers.

And all you have to do to enter is go to the EarCheck site, look around and come back here and leave a comment as to what you think is the best feature of the Ear Check Middle Ear Monitor
