Lansinoh Variety Pack *GIVEAWAY* Day 1

9:31 AM Posted by Erin

**CONTEST CLOSED WINNER HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED**






If you're a nursing mom, you know the damage those little piranha's angels can wreak on the boobies; sore cracked nips and the pain associated with the period of adjusting to breastfeeding has caused many a mother to discontinue breastfeeding even before she's fully adjusted to what breastfeeding entails. Lansinoh Lanolin was one of several products that helped me get through those first early weeks.Not only is Lansinoh Lanolin the only soothing topical nipple cream endorsed in the U.S. by La Leche Legue International as it's 100% pure without preservatives or additives of any kind which means you don't have to worry about cleaning it off before nursing as it's completely safe for baby to taste because of the intensive purification Lansinoh's Lanolin undergoes. Lansinoh doesn't stop at nipple creams either. They also create some of the most absorbant Disposible Nursing Pads on the market and as any mom knows there is nothing worse than two wet spots drenching your shirt as new baby wails stimulating letdown. Their nursing pads are perfect to keep you feeling safe, confident, and dry all day long.

One newer product from Lansinoh that I would've loved to try in my early nursing days was their Latch Assist, a simple tool that lightly and gently suctions flat nipples causing them to protrude just long enough for baby to latch. Flat nipples were one of our biggest challenges in keeping my daughter latched, and if I'd known of this invention, I'd surely have tried it out! Instead I used a nipple shield and received many admonishments from LC's who said I was ruining my chances to nurse by having her attach to an artificial nipple. I truly wish I'd had the chance to see the Latch Assist in action.

Finally, one of the most important products any nursing mom needs is a great pump. Lansinoh's Manual Breast Pump is the perfect pump for obtaining a small amount of milk to add to baby's rice cereal and when mom needs to be separated from baby for just a short period of time. It's also terrific for traveling when you can't haul your larger pump around. The unique ComfortSeal cushion creates a secure seal for more comfortable and efficient pumping. The ergonomic handle and lightweight compact design allow for easy one-handed use and all parts are BPA free.

And lastly what to do with your stored milk? I loved, loved, love Lansinoh's storage bags and used them exclusively during my pumping time. Their bags are incredibly durable, and the zipper-lock closure kept this mom from crying over any spilled milk (true story, it's happened when I tried another brand and I literally did cry). Lansinoh's milk storage bags on the other hand, never let me down.

Stuck on 3M Command Hooks!

7:24 PM Posted by Erin


The older my daughter gets, the smaller her room has seemingly become. Toys, clothes, backpacks and books have all overwhelmed her already limited space. And the more we the try to organize, the less it actually appears to get done. I've been searching for a way to gain some much needed space and get stuff off her floor and shelves and was so pleased when given the opportunity to try the new Command Hooks by 3M.



These stylish hooks are so perfect if you live in an apartment or rented home or are like me and less than handy with tools. All you do is peel the paper backing from the sticky strip on the back of the hook, place, press and go! Change your mind about a hook and you just pull the sticky part taut and it releases simple as cake! No holes in the walls, absolutely no damage to your painted or wallpaper finish. Stick them anywhere; glass, metal, and drywall are all perfect for 3m Command Hooks and Strips and they really go on so easily my three year old was having fun placing them herself. We were so lucky to be given several versions of the hooks to try and they truly do go perfect everywhere. We put the Disney Princess hooks in her room to keep her rain coat and backpack where she's able to access them, we hung the Ball hooks on the bathroom door for drying towels, and placed the Arc hook by the front door to keep our keys organized. Best of all, we don't have to be worried about them falling off and ruining the walls. Each Disney hook holds up to 5 lbs and the medium decorative hooks hold 3 lbs. Find affordable and effective 3m Command Hooks and Strips at a store near you and don't forget to print their online coupon for up to $5 in savings.

Want It? Win It!
Thanks to 3M, I have three Disney Command Hooks to share with my readers; Hannah Montana, Cars, and Disney Fairies.

The Details: Three lucky winners will receive a Disney Command Hook by 3m. The Rules: Visit 3m Command Strips and tell me another product you'd love to have and also which hook style you'd prefer.

Wet Happened? Wet Bags

9:37 PM Posted by Erin

**CONTEST CLOSED**
Having just gotten my three year old potty trained, I am very well aware that wet most definitely happens. When it happens while your out and about, it can become quite the messy affair. I know for us, after some accidents I've actually had to chuck perfectly good undies just because I had no where to store the evidence until we got home. But now I know better, I've found the stylish and reusable Wet Happened? Wet Bag by Itzy Ritzy.

Made from 100% cotton designer fabrics and PVC- free polyurethane lining, the zippered Wet Happened? Wet Bag is the answer to what to do with that soaked bikini or bib or underoos without ruining everything else in the diaper bag or beach tote. Instead of a flimsy grocery bag that often has holes in the bottom defeating their actual purpose, storing wet items is attractive, easy, and ecologically friendly since the Wet Happened bag is washable and reusable. Empty, the bags roll up into just about nothing making them the perfect size for transporting anywhere. They also double as a lunch bag in a pinch, are perfect storing for little ones markers and crayons, keep wipes moist inside, the uses are virtually endless! Find Wet Happened? Wet Bags at your local retailer or online at Itzy Ritzy. With swimsuit season coming up, buy two... one to use and one to wash for just $17.95 each.
Want it? Win it!
