YoBaby Yogurt Review *GIVEAWAY*
12:56 PM Posted by Erin
In our house, we try to feed our daughter as healthy as possible and one food she loves is YoBaby Yogurt. She's been eating it since she she started solids at 6 months old and still loves the creamy taste and silky texture of the original vanilla and banana variety best. She's three now and we continue to put a YoBaby Yogurt cup in her lunch box every day. We recently tried the drinkable version in peach and were really pleased with the flavor and of course the convenience and portability of this healthy snack. Now you may wonder, what make YoBaby Yogurt so good for babies and toddlers? Well, it's the only yogurt specifically created with baby in mind. Made with organic whole milk like pediatricians recommend for babies and children under two to encourage brain growth, YoBaby contains several ingredients essential to baby. Iron, live active cultures for immune system support, and Omega-3 fatty acids like DHA make this the perfect food to get little one on track for a lifetime of healthy food choices. Have you tried YoBaby yet?

A Better Way to Sleep: Natural Mat Review
10:19 AM Posted by Erin
Every new parent wants to be sure their baby gets the highest quality sleep possible since its the time when their brains and vital organs develop (source SoundSleeping.org). Making sure baby is on the best sleep surface possible should be a top priority. This is where the Natural Mat comes in. Natural Mat is a company created by two sailors in England frustrated by the quality of synthetic mattresses found on boats. Deciding to look for and eventually develop their own line of natural mattresses led to the creation of the baby product line. Featuring three premier mattresses; the Coco Mat, Latex Mat, and luxurious Mohair Mat each offer parents the ability to find a bed baby can love. Since they're made from 100% organic materials and hypoallergenic, they're safe for your baby's dellicate skin. Natural fibers also provide higher levels of support and far better ventilation than any synthetic foam or coil springs.
Natural Mat recently sent us their Cotton Sheet (RTV $45) to review and I was really impressed. The soft, unbleached and undyed cotton percale provided a neutral color that blends in well with any decor. Since my daughter is well past the crib stage, I asked my sister to try this on her newborn's bed. Now my sister is a real "Green" mama and is resistant to using anything for her baby that is chemically processed. The fact that the Natural Mat Cotton Sheet is undyed meant she didn't have to worry about any irritants harming her daughter's sensitive skin and the natural fibers kept Baby K cool and comfy. She reports baby girl got a very good nights rest on her cozy new cotton sheet.

Livie & Luca Review *DISCOUNT CODE*
11:01 PM Posted by Erin
Searching for the perfect pair of shoes for kiddo? Want to marry style with ultimate comfort and wearability? Look no further than the super adorable and sweet Livie & Luca shoes! Created by three moms who realized there was a need for modern and funky shoes for babies and toddlers that were also lightweight, soft, super flexible and affordable. Realizing they'd only find these shoes if they created the company themselves led to a year of research that included many sleepless nights, lots of support from our husbands and plenty of inspiration from the adventurous lives we share with our children. Finally, in May 2005 Livie & Luca was born and take it from us there was no epidural involved! 
Not only are Livie & Luca shoes absolutely the cutest ever, they're also some of the most original I've come across in a long while. When given the opportunity to review these sweet shoes, I fell in love with several pairs. I especially had my eye on the precious bird themed Pio Pio and would have loved to have seen them on my daughter in Robins Egg Blue. But as she's getting older, I sat her in front of the computer to choose her own Livie & Luca shoes and she firmly stated Lime Elephants were her one true love. Try as I might to convince her the Pio Pio's were the way to go, she never wavered. Oh...kay. So we requested them and once they arrived packaged in their handy (and eco friendly) cloth duster bag, I realized I really need to learn to trust this kid's taste a whole lot more. Soft, high quality brown and green leather and handcrafted style made these the perfect attention getting, compliment attracting shoes. With their supple uppers, padded collar, and comfortably padded insoles, my daughter reports these shoes "very cool". Funky and Fresh is the best way I'd describe our new Livie & Luca's and highly addictive to this shoe collector as well. See all of their rocking cute shoes including their adorable boys styles like Emilio in lime with cream accents and their stylish Paulo's, which almost look comfortable enough to sleep in. Retailing for an affordable $44 in sizes 4-12, you'll want several pairs for your own kiddo. Find Livie & Luca at a store near you or hurry up and head on over to their website where Spring/Summer styles are currently half off July 13-21st when you use the code SUMMER50! Afterwards receive 10% off with the exclusive code thismomcanshop10.

Picaflor Kids Review *GIVEAWAY*
7:25 PM Posted by Erin
With a brand new relaunched website, you are likely to find something gorgeous and suitable for your boy or girl at Picaflor Kids. Knit from 100% rayon created from recycled wood pulp, their clothes have a beautiful drape and slight sheen which gave my little girl a bit of a glow. Best of all, rayon has great absorbency and wicks away moisture and that makes her dress so perfect for the heat of the summer. We love how soft and comfortable this dress is for casual play and how easy it is to wear every day or for dressier occasions too. We have washed and worn her Picaflor Kids dress several times now and it still looks as lovely as the day it arrived. I do recommend ordering one size larger than normal since we did find her usual 4t a tad smaller fit. Find your own adorable dress like the Erica or handsome shirt like Julian online at Picaflor Kids or at a boutique near you.
Want It? Win It!
The wonderful folks at Picaflor Kids are giving one lucky either the Erica dress in Grape or Julian shirt in Light Olive/ Olive trim in winners choice of size!
The Details: One lucky winner will receive either the gorgeous Erica dress in Grape or Julian shirt Olive/Olive in their choice of size. The Rules: Visit Picaflor Kids and tell me another style that you love.

Rileyroos Review
10:24 PM Posted by Erin
Comfortable, flexible shoes are a must when it comes to supporting a growing baby's feet. But of course we also want our little ones to wear stylish looking kicks as well. This is why Rileyroos make for the best first walking shoes. They are able to combine these very important factors into soft, designer shoes. Why are Rileyroos so different you may ask?
"Rileyroos design inspiration comes from a combination of European fashion trends and American spirit and casualness. We designed the line to imitate barefoot walking and to protect little feet. The sole of a Rileyroos shoe is flexible and its rubber-padded sole curls above the toes to provide leverage as a child begins crawling. Unlike many heavy or bulky first walking shoes, Rileyroos’ lightweight construction and Protective bottoms support a child’s foot as he or she starts walking and provides traction to prevent falls on slippery surfaces."
We recently received the Brookie style in Aqua for my niece to review and they were the hit. She's at an age where she is beginning to walk and run and her mom has been searching everywhere for shoes that won't slow her down but still look hip. When I came across Rileyroos, I just knew we had to try them. Light and flexible are the name of the game here with the ease of velcro closures and slip-on styling. Her shoes came in high quality aqua and lime leather with a padded collar and soft rubber sole for extra comfort. My niece loved her adorable new shoes almost as much as her mom did. Rileyroos are available in several hot styles for both boys and girls in sizes 3-24 months and retail for about $30. Find them online at Rileyroos.com or your local retailer.

Ruthless & Toothless: Miami Inkling
11:04 PM Posted by Erin
So I'm wondering, do you really have to wait until you're 18 to get your first tattoo? I mean, how else can you express your coolness and individuality in the meantime? I'm thinking the expert tattoo artist from TLC Network's Miami Ink would probably know. Hmm... what would Yoji and Darren Brass do to hip their own kids up while waiting for them to come of age for their inaugural inking? Oh, I know! They'd create their very first line of baby, toddler, and kids clothing and they'd call it Ruthless & Toothless.
Five of the uber talents from the coolest show on television have banded together and began this rocking label which features their original art in cotton onesies, shirts, hoodies, and dresses all geared towards the ultra cool preschool set who want the tat look without the long term commitment. Prices aren't too bad either considering how hot their designs are and the fact that it's all made in the USA. Onesies start at $26 with hoodies a splurge at $40. The company is brand new too with plenty more in the works! I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Want it? (Of course you do!) Win it!
One very cool kid will get to rock out in Ruthless & Toothless' hip Kahuna onesie.
The Details: One lucky winner will receive the Kahuna onesie in their choice of size from Ruthless & Toothless. The Rules: Visit R & T and tell me your favorite item on their site.

Jack and Lily *GIVEAWAY*
10:58 PM Posted by Erin
I received My Shoes (Princess Crown) to review and opening the keepsake box they arrived in was shoe heaven for this fanatic. Available in boys and girls styles, these trendy shoes are some of the coolest ever for tiny toes. Each pair from this collection is available in sizes 0-24 months and features true soft-soles suitable for indoor/outdoor use, suede lining, and 100% cowhide leather. So not only are they entirely chic but their light, flexible soles make them comfortable on your little one's tootsies too. I'm going to love gifting these to a new mom I know... I only hope her husband will forgive me for passing on my addiction to her. With shoes this cute it's impossible not to become a collector. And lucky for you too, I share. One fortunate shoe lover will get their very own pair Jack and Lily's. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
The Details: One lucky shoelover will receive their own pair of Jack and Lily from either the Originals or My Shoes collection. The Rules: Visit Jack and Lily and let me know which shoes are perfect for your little one.
