Pediped Takes Comfort Serious with Memory Foam Technology!

pediped® introduces the next generation in ultimate comfort for children with Memory Foam Technology™ (MFT™ ) intheir signature ballet flats and sandals for boys and girls. The responsive and high-density Memory Foam Technology™ (MFT™) insoles mold to a child’s foot and spring back when pressed to absorb shock, and minimize impact. The MFT™ insoles also react to body temperature, distribute weight and provide support where needed. This creates a custom fit that is comparable to none.

Style no longer has to be sacrificed for comfort. Now, with this new line, savvy parents will be happy to know that kids can be both stylish and comfortable. pediped® footwear’s MFT™ line is available now at select retailers and on www.pediped.com. This line comes in EU sizes 20-29 (US sizes 5-12.5) and retails for $48-52 USD per pair. Be sure to check out their ongoing Make-A-Wish Sale which ends July 11th for even better savings on several of the MFT™ styles and be on the lookout for new Fall/Winter 2010 MFT™ styles from pediped® to make their debut this July!

Dimples & Daisies Tutus Review *GIVEAWAY*

Is there anything cuter than a sweet little girl in a beautiful tutu? Ever since having a daughter, I have been fully immersed in all things frilly princess and whether it's hairbows or dresses- I love dressing her up almost as much as she loves being dressed up. Unfortunately up until recently, the only tutu she's ever owned arrived on a thin elastic cord that broke within days. So when we were contacted by Stephanie, the owner of Dimples & Daisies to do a review on one of her gorgeous tutus, we were ecstatic.

Just by looking at the lovely creations at Dimples & Daisies I could tell they'd be higher quality. Not only are her tutus exquisite, but they come in endless color combinations and several different styles. Whether you're seeking a shorter, sassier tutu like the Lily Collection's Pink Lemonade or a dramatic, elegant style seen in the Caroline and Jade Collections, Dimples & Daisies has the perfect tutu for every occasion from weddings to play dates. We were given the choice of selecting from one of Dimples & Daisies ready made styles or designing an original custom designed tutu. I wanted to create our very own skirt and set about choosing the Caroline's 14" length. That was about the easiest decision I'd make since Dimples & Daisies offers 42 base colors in regular or shimmer tulle and numerous embellishments. Stephanie and I went back and forth over several emails trying to design just the right skirt. She was so helpful in suggesting colors and combinations that would work until finally we decided the shimmer tulle in aqua with rhinestones and a pretty white bow would be darling for my daughter.


Our stunning tutu arrived quickly after our final order and we were blown away. Featuring yards and yards of voluminous tulle the perfect shade of Cinderella Blue that will look perfect for our upcoming trip to Disney World. With rhinestones that add just the right amount of sparkle, these skirts stand out against mass produced tutus and secure attachment to a non-roll elastic waist means it will stand the test of time. My girl just loves twirling in her new tutu and we're lifelong fans of the work and time Stephanie puts into Dimples & Daisies high quality skirts. With affordable pricing beginning at $25, we can't wait to buy another skirt and will recommend her to all our girl moms.

Want It? Win It!
Stephanie from Dimples & Daisies is generously offering one lucky winner their very own custom tutu with up to one embellishment.

Kookie Stationary Review *GIVEAWAY*

Most times, you're lucky if the recipient of your carefully selected card or thoughtfully written note actually reads it before it ends up in the trash or inside the black hole of the "junk drawer". You know it happens. You know you're guilty of doing it yourself. A great way to ensure your message gets heard is to send it on Kookie Stationary.



What exactly is Kookie Stationary anyway? It's a delicious treat, a real cookie that you can write on and ship or hand deliver to your friends and family. It's a special way of saying you care for any occasion. From Holiday to Happy Birthday, I Love You or Get Well, Kookie Stationary creates smooth, crisp iced cookies that come with a food safe pen perfect for customizing with your own special message. We received the (very) large Holloween Kookie shown above and thought the idea was so much fun. My daughter and I had a blast drawing all over it with the unscented, unflavored pen and an even better time eating it ourselves.


The Kookie was so fresh and delicious tasting we had a hard time sharing it with eachother. A plastic bag to preserve freshness and a sturdy, clear box accompany every $9.99 Kookie Stationary order which makes shipping and displaying a breeze since the back pops out to double as an easle. If your recipient is patient enough to let it sit out a few days, they have an excellent case for it. However if they're anything like me and my own Kookie monster, this terrific note will be gone and eaten in no time. Save your friends and family from having to clutter their drawers and feel the guilt of throwing away a card, send them a deliciously edible note from Kookie Stationary.

Want it? Win It!
Kookie Stationary is generously giving TWO lucky winners the opportunity to try their terrific cookies themselves.

The 2010 Entertainment Book: Savings Galore

**CONTEST CLOSED**






We were recently sent our own copy of the 2010 Entertainment Book and were more than impressed with the variety of well known companies, restaurants, and stores offering steep savings in the book. Last weekend we took our three year old to see a movie, and armed with our book, saved over $7 between tickets and refreshments. In an economy where every penny counts, both my husband and I were highly impressed with the ease of use and how conveniently the sections and subjects were broken down in this well organized volume. We've actually begun keeping our Entertainment Book in the car so we'll never be caught paying full price as long as there's a discount available. Do your best to find a local school, church, or other program offering the Entertainment Book or buy online with free shipping on their website. From food to services, activities to entertainment--Either way, you cannot afford to not own this book!

Bravado Nursing Bra Review *GIVEAWAY* Day 4

**CONTEST CLOSED**
A great bra is the foundation of any outfit. When you have one you love it can change the way you carry yourself, making you feel confident and pulled together. Nursing bras can be kind of tricky when it comes to making the right selection. They're usually functional but stylish and sexy? Not so much. That's what makes Bravado Designs Bras so terrific! Not only are their bras comfortable, convenient, and supportive but they are also incredibly attractive. So much so you'll almost forget it's a nursing bra at all.

Here's what makes this attractive bra so awesome:

Features
• Premium quality microfiber on the outside provides shape and support.
• 100% cotton on the inside (against your skin) means comfort and breathability.
• Soft and gentle trim on the neckline gives a feminine touch.
• No underwire, as recommended by lactation consultants.
• Shoulder straps that are wonderfully comfortable.
• Additional rows of hooks and eyes on some sizes for support and comfort

My sister-in-law reports this bra to be excellent in quality, fit, and convenience. The strong plastic clips release easily with just one hand and it's holding up wonderfully after several washes. She's now just as much a fan as I am, and yes she actually let me photograph her wearing it since she wanted everyone to know how it looked on a "real" model. Bravado makes several nursing bras from the very modest Supreme to the ultra sexy NEW Sublime bra to suit every taste. Several matching pantie sets are also available for the ultimate in coordination you appreciate in regular bras as well as their Essential Nursing Tank with built in full bra, no scrawny shelf bra here. Buy Bravado Designs online on their website and receive free shipping when you use the code FS-101, or their weekend promotion code for 25% off any purchase with code EOS-172 (expires at 11:59PM on Monday night) or find them in a store near you.

HappyGreenBee Sportsuit Review *GIVEAWAY*

When it comes to swimwear, I want my daughter to be comfortable. I hate swimsuits that ride up, fall down, or hit in spots that are unbecoming. My husband on the other hand is obsessed with modesty. Now I love a good bikini and think they look adorable on little girls but he believes our daughter should be covered at all times. We were both thrilled when we received the adorable cotton sportsuit in watermelon/sky by HappyGreenBee, our favorite organic designer of children's clothes. It has the perfect mix of child style, comfort, and best of all eco friendly to keep all of us happy. Now why is eco friendly important to us: Organic cotton is especially great for infants and children. Whereas pesticide and chemically-treated clothing traps heat and prevents skin from absorbing adequate moisture—often causing rashes and eczema on sensitive skin—organic cotton is natural and breathable. Children with allergies particularly benefit, as organic cotton does not have the residual toxic residues that linger on conventional cotton. Even those without sensitive skin find organic cotton more comfortable and kid-friendly. The longer fibers stretch as children grow.

HappyGreenBee makes something for every little bee, from reversible hoodies to A-line sundresses to sweet cloth dolls in maching fabrics to coordinate with. Their best deals can be found in their Factory Store where selection changes frequently and all orders over $15 are shipped absolutely free. Get your own HappyGreenBee available online at their site.

HappyGreenBee is generously giving one lucky winner their own sportsuit, perfect for getting through the dog days of summer.

A Better Way to Sleep: Natural Mat Review

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.

Silly Billyz Bibs Review

You probably know Bobux for their adorably soft leather soled shoes, but did you know they're also the exclusive US distributor of the popular New Zealand bib Silly Billyz? We recently received their Fuchsia Fleece Pocket Bib to review. I was pleased with the soft non-piling fleece front and how comfortable it felt again my niece's neck with two high quality snaps that adjust for ease of wear. The coordinating nylon fabric that backs this bib is PVC free and completely waterproof so you won't worry about kiddo's clothing getting wet underneath. We found these bibs which fit little ones sized 3 months- 3 years to really hold up to the strained carrot test especially with the pocket to catch any wayward spills. Once we completely got it babyfied, we threw it in the wash and left it to air dry (although they can also be tumble dried). It washed totally clean and the fleece looked as good as new. My sister now has her eye on the Towel Pocket Bib featuring an elastic snuggle neck to keep food from falling through the neckline and the long sleeve Silly Billyz Messy Eater Bib which will be perfect for those future spaghetti meals. Retailing for under $6 to just over $13 makes these bibs completely affordable and practical for everyday use. They're perfect for your diaper bag, grandmas house, daycare... wherever kiddo eats.

Bake Me A Wish Review *GIVEAWAY*

In just a few days my mother-in-law turns 70 and I couldn't think of any better way to celebrate this momentous milestone than a delicious cake from Bake Me A Wish. This lovely online bakery specializes in some of the most mouth watering cakes from coffee drenched Tiramisu Classico Cake to classic Carrot Cake. But for this chocoholic family, nothing but the Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake would do for Yiayia's special day.


We were so pleased to recently have the opportunity to receive this delectable cake from Bake Me A Wish. Just take a look at the pictures to see how outrageous and chocolate rich it was. As their website describes it...

Our moist & fudgy brownie cake goes through three chocolate "passes" before it's "done": first it's enrobed in rich chocolate, then it gets completely blanketed with a shower of dark chocolate shaves; last, the cake is finished with milk and dark chocolate glazes drizzled all over and the Belgian chocolate plaque of your choice; for a brownie dessert that's over-the-top-triple-delicious!

Hungry Yet? Our cake arrived quickly, securely packaged in a cooler of dry ice. Nestled inside, the elegant signature gold and purple logo box housed our yummy chocolate delight. We were so excited to take a bite of of this treat and it didn't disappoint. We loved the over the top brownie flavor that pairs perfectly with a tall glass of icy cold milk. The chocolate shaves added just a tiny bit of crunchy goodness and cake was moist and delicious without being overly rich. The fudgy frosting and drizzle added that extra special touch. Everyone in my family agreed this dessert was absolutely the best brownie cake we've ever had and coupled with the convenience of having it delivered to our home, thought the whole experience was wonderful.

Bake Me A Wish offers a shipping guarantee to ensure your yummy cake arrives on time. Plus, if you have a soldier overseas they will ship to APO/FPO adresses. They're also giving back: 5% of all sales are donated to their Operation: Birthday Cake program which provides cakes to our soldiers fighting in Iraq.

Want It? Win It!
Bake Me A Wish is generously giving one lucky winner their own delicious Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake to try.
