Nimli - $1 Scarves on Black Friday!

2009-11-24T13:53:00.002-06:00

I never get the chance to actually go out and hit the big sales on Black Friday - maybe because the kids are young and it's more of a hassle to get someone to watch them and then head into the madness. With that being said - I'm going to be checking out the sales online, that's for sure!

Scarves are all the rave lately and Nimli is selling Silk Scarves for $1 on Black Friday.

K'NEX {Review}

2009-11-23T20:20:00.003-06:00

Have you seen the K'NEX commercials? They are definitely appealing to my children and even appealing to an adult, well at lease this adult. Team Mom provided us with the K'Nex, Police Car Building Set from the Sesame Street Neighborhood Collection, for children aged 2-5 years old. Both my son and daughter have been having fun building and playing with this fun toy that inspires creativity by building and playing. Easily put together, with chunky pieces, and wheels for the car it's been a fun and well liked product. Most kids really like Elmo and the Sesame Street characters so adding a toy that doesn't "talk" to you but you get to be creative with and build is great. What's also really nice about this product is that it doesn't have to be just a police car - it can be built into many different things making nothing necessarily being the "correct" way which I like. There are even more building ideas on the box. Liking the idea? There are four individual sets you can purchase that are designed to coordinate with each other or be used alone. Ice Cream Truck Building Set, Police Car Building Set, 1-2-3 Brownstone building Set and the Police Station Building Set. Lots of fun that are good for development with your preschoolers!

Have older children, or not interested necessarily in the Sesame Street, check out the other awesome products K'NEX has to offer. Products are available at Target, Walmart and Toys 'R' Us.

You have a chance to win over $1000 worth of K'NEX Toys and be featured on the KNEX.com website. How you ask? Well you need to make a video and include select K'NEX products. The possibilities are endless. Construct your own story or showcase your child's K'NEX Building skills. Use your imagination. Official Rules are available at www.KNEX.com. Ends December 7th, 2009 and you must be 18 years or older.

Amon Maternity {giveaway}

2009-11-22T20:54:00.005-06:00

The holidays are here and more than ever everyone wants to look fabulous when you're out and about, visiting and seeing family you haven't seen in awhile. I know with my little guy only being 13 weeks, I'm still having a hard time fitting into some of my old clothing, but with the help of the body shaper from Amon Maternity I'm able to fit into a few more and look slim and trim all while still being comfortable. I love wearing my body shaper from Amon Maternity, not only does it have great support for my tummy and mid-section (something that I need since I had a muscle separation that is still repairing) but it really makes me look slimmer. It's very comfortable, I don't feel like I have something sucking me in, just something to hold those jiggles to makes me look sleek. I really like the breath ability of the microfiber fabric and that the body shaper stretches easily. These do tend to run on the smaller side so I'd order a size up if you are in between sizes. I got the small and it was rolling down, making it uncomfortable but as soon as the medium came I had no problems at all and the fit was great. Available in three different colors and at a price that's easily affordable. Look great these holidays with a body shaper from Amon Maternity.

You can read my review on the behold band for pregnancy. I absolutely loved mine and plan to give it a lot of use when/if we are blessed with another pregnancy sometime in the future.

Sleepyheads {giveaway}

2009-11-22T20:28:00.004-06:00

I always enjoy getting a nice pair of pajamas as a gift as I'm sure many people do. I was really impressed at the huge selection of pajamas Sleepyheads has to offer for the entire family and in many different sizes. I received a really comfortable cotton crossword black & white lounger pajamas for review. The unique crossword style pajamas tells you just how unique and different the styles are, something for most anyone. I absolutely love the lounger pants, they have a thick satin drawstring and in the small fit perfectly for me. The top is nice, but with a larger bust I have a hard time with button up fronts. You do need to lay these flat to dry, I accidentally got mine in the dryer and the top shrunk considerably. Overall, very comfortable and nice for pajamas.

Sleepyheads has everything there is to find when it comes sleepy time! Find pajamas, robes, slippers, lingerie, and something for the kids to mom and dad. Also check out the Beauty & Bath products, candles, handbags and others. Want to look extra special this holiday season? Why not the family matching pajamas Sleepyheads has to offer.

Win! One reader will win a pair of Sleepy Brand pajamas (any pattern, size, kids, adults, etc.)

There were so many things I wanted to grab up for my children. I was excited when I received the Luisa dress, in the Liberty size 2T for my daughter.

Tweetlebug Boutique {Giveaway}

2009-11-19T21:18:00.005-06:00

When I threw the baby shower for my sister I wish I would have known if she was having a boy or girl because Tweetlebug Boutique has the most adorable little "I'm Not A Boy" newborn hats. I know people don't do it on purpose, but when you just have that little gem you hate when people call them a boy, when you think they look so girl. These hat's are for sure going to let others know that you have a little girl. I received the Harper with a bow and can't wait to give it to either my sister (if she has a girl) or one of my friends when they have a girl. The hat is soft, stretches to fit any little head and absolutely adorable. I love the big bow and just how girlie it is! The Genevieve and the Maeve are equally as cute and would make an excellent baby shower girl, or gift for those expecting parents of a sweet little girl.

Tweetlebug Boutique also carries Hair Bow Holders, we have the brown and pink one. I like this because it's long, feminine and cute and it has two pieces of fabric. Let me tell you my daughter has a lot of hair clips/bows/flowers, etc so we need something that holds a lot. You can either stack them so you have additional room or just use it as one piece. There are also Itty Bitty hair bows, toddler hair bows and my favorite the Holiday clips. My daughter wore the candy corn for Halloween and it was so stinkin' cute. The bows are made really well and easily can be put in. There are many different colors to choose from and I'm thinking that little Christmas Tree is calling our name for the holiday season.

Win! One lucky reader will win $30 for Tweetlebug Boutique. To enter.

Baby Legs {Giveaway}

2009-11-18T14:54:00.005-06:00

Did you know that BabyLegs now carries socks and girls tights? Yes, they are just as fantastic as the ever so popular babyleg warmers. I received a pair of socks for my 13 week old son and I have been very happy. I received the 0-12 months and since he's such a chunky child I have a hard time finding a pair of socks that don't cut off circulation but still fit and look cute. These fit really nice, do not cut circulation and leave red marks and are very cute. I love the colors and the writing on the bottom, so if they're walking they don't slip. Available for boys and girls in a few different selections. The girls tights are so adorable, I absolutely love them. There are a few different styles to choose from and available are footless tights. I got the 2T-4T and though my daughter typically wears 24mo/2T they are really big on her. She's on the smaller side, but they do run a bit big. There are three different sizes to choose from! Just like all the BabyLegs products I've tried, I've been very happy with the quality and always love to recommend them.

Buy It! Use coupon code Flipflops and receive 20% off your purchase. Expires November 25, 2009.

Win! One reader will win their choice of socks OR tights from BabyLegs in the style/color you would like. To Enter-

SoftBums {Giveaway}

2009-11-18T14:14:00.007-06:00

Cloth diapering a really little one has been a fun adventure to tackle into and I've been having fun finding what works best for us with a smaller toosh and now having a boy in cloth, you need to have a little more absorbency in different areas! I received the PerfectFit All-in-2's Basic Pack cloth diaper from SoftBums to give a try on my new little guy in the ocean color. I have had only success using the diaper!

The SoftBums diaper is made of a waterproof outer cover that has many cute colors to choose from with soft fleece on the inner. Snap in inserts seem to be a big thing right now and though I wasn't thrilled when I first started using them, I am liking them more and more. Just snap on in the back the extra long insert and when it becomes soiled or dirty just either add a new if the soft under fleece isn't wet or just air out between uses. No need to wash the outer cover over and over. I change my little guy fairly often with him being young and peeing a lot and I can use the cover many times before I have to change because the insert holds enough and I change him often enough that it doesn't soak all the way through. A unique feature and really nice. I also love that this is a one-sized diaper.. from the top is a small opening to adjust the snuggers, which is elastic that you can pull and tighten to adjust the legs to be the size you need. Very easy to use and you can get the exact fit you need. The diaper we received does have strong Aplix Velcro Closures which are working very well because they are strong and big, unlike small tab like closures. I'm able to get the perfect fit for my (then 10 pound) now 15 pound baby. I also tried this on my 25 pound daughter and the fit was just as great. For both children the diaper has less bulk in the trunk for a more trimmer look.

SoftBums is also coming out with a diaper like this with snaps that I'm eager to try. I'm a big fan of snaps because I feel like they last longer, yet a bit more difficult to find the proper size right away. The diapers are available in several different colors and the snap-in inserts are available in microfiber, Organic Bamboo Fleece Topped or Organic Bamboo Velour. SoftBums also has packaged deals for purchase.

Win! One Momma In Flip Flops2 reader will win the Basic Pack SoftBums Diaper in your choice of color. To Enter-

Play All Day - Reuzables

2009-11-16T14:59:00.005-06:00

Anymore most of us are looking for a way to go greener, and just using any kind of items that are more environmentally friendly. I was thrilled to have the chance to try the Reuzables Baggies from Play All Day Gear. My husband takes some kind of sandwich daily to work and I hate him using baggies over and over. These Reuzable Baggies are a great alternative to that. I also like to use the baggies for snacks for the kids. They Velcro closed so the children are easily able to open them, and they seal completely so snacks are spilling all over - especially in the car. They're very generous in size, so you are able to actually fit more than one sandwich and if bringing snacks, no need to bring several bags because these hold lots! These baggies have 100% cotton exterior and nylon interior. What's also great is that they're BPA, pthalate and lead free, something that I've found many look for when purchasing certain products. I also like the Produce bags, they're great to use instead of putting all your produce in those plastic bags at the store. Soon to be added to the website at Play All Day Gear.
Check out the other products Play All Day Gear has, like diapers and diaper accessories, wipes, and some great wool items!

Sock Grams carry socks for woman, men, kids and babies and lots of different kids. Select under each of the men and woman's categories what you would like - animal, music, funny, fashion, occupation, causes and more. For the children I really like the ballet socks.

Kids Prefered; Madeline Soft Talking Doll {Giveaway Has Ended}

2009-11-16T12:33:00.009-06:00

I remember when I was younger really enjoying the stories for Miss Clavel, the lady who watches and oversees the education of twelve little girls, the littlest being mischievous, curious Madeline! Going on walks, walking in two straight lines, breaking bread, brushing teeth and always falling into an adventure. Madeline is sweet, kind and brave and I loved the stories! Kids Preferred the leading manufacturer of plush toys is helping celebrate the 70th year of Ludwig Belmelman's, Madeline books - the cute little French girl, in her blue coat and red hair and made several huggable versions available at Toys 'R' Us!

I was thrilled to introduce the original Madeline book to my daughter and son and along with it came the absolute adorable Madeline Soft Talking Doll, for children 3+! She's super soft, 17" tall, wearing her cute yellow dress and hat, soft yarn red hair and by easily pressing her hands speaks both English and French. She says four different things- "There is the Eiffel Tower, look", Long live Genevieve, She is a Good Dog," I am Tired, *ahhh* Goodnight," & "hello, how are you." Then on the other hand says the same thing in French. The sweet doll is always sitting right there with us as we read the books and has been a great toy to add to our dolly collection.

Some of the many other huggable versions of Madeline are - Madeline in her PJ's +1, Madeline and Genevieve Beanies, 70th Anniversary Madeline, Dress able Madeline, all looking like lots of fun. Purchase items at Toys 'R' Us!

Alphabotz {Giveaway Has Ended}

My son being four is really wanting to learn to read and write more than ever lately. However like many children he doesn't always want to just sit and practice writing and learning his letters. With Alphabotz he's having fun learning his basic phonics's with the over-sized (10.5" x 4.5") flashcards and doesn't even realize he's learning because they seem more like a toy.

I know you maybe wondering what are these Alphabotz I'm talking about, well they're flashcards that are made of heavy card stock and are compatible with a dry erase marker. The box contains 46 character cards with different robots on them, along with letters, objects and stats. My son at four mostly likes laying them out and learning the different letters while having fun with the robots, creating stories and using his imagination. When sitting with his father or I he's mostly just learning his uppercase and lowercase letters and what sounds the letters make. I like that there are great for his age all the way up to elementary aged children who are more advanced in their learning. Also fine game and activity cards to help your child learn!

Alphabotz has also been recently named one of Dr. Toy's "100 Best Products" for 2009. For more information visit the award winning interactive website www.alphabotz.com.

Snazzy Baby {Giveaway Has Ended}

2009-11-13T12:01:00.011-06:00

My daughter is a stubborn little two year old and when it comes time for shopping, I dread to take her because she won't sit in the cart. She's always trying to escape and now with two other children I can't always be holding her in. I know I'm not the only one with this problem, which can make shopping a very hard process and grocery shopping has to get done. I was excited to have the opportunity to use the iParenting Media Award Winner, My Baby's Own Deluxe Travel Chair from Snazzy Baby because it was designed not only to fit different types of chairs so you don't have to worry about bringing a highchair or booster wherever you go, but it also secures your child in a shopping cart. I really like it for the shopping cart, its all attached to a pouch so very easy to just toss the 7oz bag in your bag, pulls open easily and secures safely to the cart and then also has side and shoulder straps to keep your baby safe and secure. So far my daughter hasn't figured out how to get out of it and actually thinks it's "fun" since it's something new. Made for children up to 35 pounds and made of nylon and polyester with easy to machine wash. I also like the feature that it has a non-slip bottom so it doesn't slide at all when put flat on a chair and your child is able to move around a big without actually standing up. Ladies, our problems may be solved and the Travel chair is available in either red or navy!

Snazzy Baby products were invented by an Australian mommy who wants best for baby. She has also developed Knee Pads to help product those little knees when crawling and learning to walk. Keep them protected and don't let them get all scraped up and raw. "These knee pads are ergonomically designed to allow for flexibility and movement without impacting circulation. In addition, Snazzy Baby knee pads are endorsed by medical professionals and can be used with children with special needs such as hemophilia, cerebral palsy, spina bifida and muscular dystrophy." The knee pads are one size fits all (four months to four years) and available in starfish blue, princess pink, seafoam green and midnight blue. Read more about the Snazzy Baby. If you are interested in seeing how these products work, check out the video demonstrations!

Win! One Momma In Flip Flops2 reader will win either the Travel Chair or the Knee Pads (your choice.) To Enter-
