Baby BanZ Review *GIVEAWAY*

12:20 PM Posted by Erin

**CONTEST CLOSED**



When out this summer, you'll protect your kids skin with sunblock but do you put the same effort into making sure their eyes are protected? Did you know that excessive exposure to direct sunlight can cause cataracts, near sightedness and even various types of eye cancers? (source- CairFair.com) And retinal damage from the sun's rays is greatest in children less than 10 years old, although the consequences usually do not become apparent until well after they are adults? (source- Dr. Greene.com) All children should be taught to wear sunglasses with UV400 protection especially between peak sun hours, but if you have an infant or young child who can't seem to keep sunglasses on their face or lose them faster than you can buy them, you have to try Baby BanZ!

More about BabyBanz from their website:

In 2001, Baby Banz, Inc. found its start in "the land down under," one of the harshest UV climates in the world. One Australian’s fruitless search for a proper pair of baby sunglasses for his infant son forced him to take action, leading to the development of the Original Baby Banz sunglasses.

First introduced to the American market in 2002, Baby Banz are best known for their unique wrap-around, banded design and 100% UV protective lenses. Often imitated, but never duplicated, Baby Banz continue to be the standard for baby and children's sunglasses and UV protection worldwide.


We received a pair of Retro style KidZ BanZ in Midnight Black to review and think they're beyond awesome! Not only do these dark shades keep paparazzi away, the adjustable velcro closing and stretch strap makes them comfortable to wear and less likely to get lost since they can't fall of my daughter's face while she's frolicking in the surf. We loved the trendy, oversized look of the Retro style we tried and how it protects her entire eye area with 100% UV protection. Baby BanZ promises to keep kiddo covered all season long with UV clothing like hats and swimwear. Find your favorite Baby BanZ style online in sizes 0-2 years, KidZ 2-5, and JBanZ size 4-10 years where prices range from $15-$24.99.

Zutano Review/Giveaway: Keeping it Fun!

4:10 PM Posted by Erin



As the mom of a very active three year old, I am constantly on the look out for comfortable and attractive play clothing. I also want my daughter to stand out in a crowd. So of course I was thrilled when Zutano gave me the opportunity to review two outfits from their Baby and Toddler Basics line. My daughter received their Super Stripe Puff Pocket Dress and immediately put it on for a day at the park. Let me just tell you, this dress is awesome for the upcoming sweltering Florida summer as it comes in cool 100% cotton (just like everything Zutano makes) and is so soft and comfortable to have fun in. My new niece received the second outfit, their Frisco Spray tee and jacket and Super Stripe leggings in size 6-12 months. I adore the bright, energetic colors and bold mix-and-match style that Zutano is so famous for. I especially like how two little girls, years apart in age can coordinate without being matchy-matchy. We have gotten several uses out of Rachel's new dress and after washing, it still looks as good as the day it arrived which speaks volumes about Zutano's quality.
Of course we had to take some photos of Rachel in her stylish new Zutano dress and doesn't she look fantastic?! I hope to add to our new Zutano clothing collection soon because this dress seriously rocks in the comfort department.
Zutano's Itzy Bitzy Baby line is available for purchase on their website or find their entire collection at your local specialty boutique or online retailer. But lucky for you, Zutano is generously allowing one very fortunate child to look as cute as my daughter with a full ensemble in choice of gender and size (0-4t) from their Spring/Summer line valued at $100! Thanks so much to Zutano!

The Details: One lucky winner will receive a full ensemble from Zutano's Spring/Summer line valued at $100. The Rules: Visit Zutano and tell me something about the company or which print (not mentioned here) is your favorite.

Ginger Louise Clothing Giveaway!

8:01 PM Posted by Erin

**CONTEST CLOSED**

When my daughter is running, jumping, and skipping on the playground, I want her to look like a little girl, a very cute little girl. And that's why I adore the style of Ginger Louise Clothing.

Created in New York City by a mother and former student of FIT, Laura began sewing at the young age of seven. After owning two stores and a factory, she decided to downsize so she could keep her emphasis on creating perfection for her customers. That has brought her to Etsy where her sweet little dresses, skirts, and two pieces that are her specialty have continued to bring happiness and style to the little ladies that wear them. With skill and detail that is apparent, each of Ginger Louise's pieces are offered in high quality designer fabrics or cotton/lycra and come top stitched and serged with inside label and hang tag.

Ginger Louise Clothing has something perfect and affordable for every girlie girl who wants to look adorable and age appropriate. Lucky for you Laura is allowing one fortunate reader to try her super cute Summer Skirt with matching hair kerchief to start the season off in right!

The Details: One lucky winner will receive Ginger Louise Clothing's Summer Skirt in choice of fabric. The Rules: Visit Ginger Louise and tell me which of her pieces is your favorite.
