EZ Sox - Review & Giveaway

2010-11-24T11:54:00.002-06:00

Thanks to EZ Sox, I have one day a week free of helping M put on her socks:) Both M and B received a pair of EZ Sox and they went crazy over them. M loves how her little piggy look in her adorable pink piggy EZ Sox, while B hops around the house wearing his frog EZ Sox.

What makes EZ Sox different than the ordinary sock? It's simple...the double reinforced loops give tiny fingers a strong grip for pulling over their tiny little toes. They are also seamless for those sensitive toes and with sticky, non-skid grip bottoms these EZ Sox are great on any surface!

Thanks EZ Sox for making my morning routine just a little bit easier:)

Clic-It Diaper Bag - Review

2010-11-17T14:26:00.000-06:00

Talk about the Cadillac of diaper bags! Thanks to Team Mom and Clic-It, I received the Clic-It Diaper Bag, Organizer Pouch & Insulated Bottle Holder.

My favorite part about the diaper bag has to be the ability to put it around the handle of both of our strollers. I have never had a bag like this and I plan on never getting a new one!:) With all it's little compartments, everything has a place, from sunscreen to snacks. And you get to choose just how you need/want your bag. You get to clic and connect accessories to customize your bag - and why didn't I think of that!:)

So, hats off to Clic-It for not your average moms diaper bag, but one that you get to make your own!

And then baby starts to grow up. No longer a newborn, your little one has new and different needs.

Until now, there has been no diaper bag that truly meets these changing needs of moms, dads and caregivers. So, after designing diaper bags for over twenty-five years, the creative team at Baby Boom Consumer Products was ready for a challenge: to find a functional diaper bag, one that is versatile, organized, and comfortable, yet stylish enough to meet the needs of today’s on-the-go parents. And so Clic-It was born.

Clic-It is the Smart Diaper Bag System that easily changes to meet all your needs. With the patented quick release clip system, you can Clic & Connect accessories to customize your bag.

The team at Baby Boom Consumer Products, a company of The Betesh Group, is made up of moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, and babysitters. We understand what you need to make your life easier. And we truly believe that Clic-It will be the only diaper bag you will ever need.

BUY IT: You can purchase the Clic-It Diaper Bag for $49.99, Clic-It Bottle Holder for $11.99 and Clic-It Organizer Pouch for $9.99.

Tiger Suit heralds the beginning of a new musical adventure for KT. Organic instrumentation is blended with dance-friendly textures, the results of which she has dubbed “Nature Techno” to encapsulate the album’s collision of raw, upfront rootsiness and sleek electronic textures.

The album's rollicking first single, “Fade Like A Shadow" is available at digital retailers now and is already at Top 20 hit at radio. Check out the video here.

Animal Throw Pillow - Review

2010-10-19T00:30:00.043-05:00

Thanks to Throw Pillows.org B is now the owner of the Cow Animal Throw Pillow. This pillow is soft and cuddly and great for little B to lug around the house. He is always laying on the couch with his "little fella" (as he likes to call it:) and sometimes I even catch M eyeing him.

The Cow Animal Throw Pillow is quite a bit smaller than the other Animal Pillows you see currently in the stores, but is a great fit for B. He recently took a trip to Grandma's house and along went "little fella"...it was great for the car ride because it fit perfectly behind his head in the car seat! The only down fall is that it could use just a tab bit more stuffing.

So, thanks ThrowPillows.org for providing B a great pillow for a busy little guy!

***These pillows are currently not being sold online, but ThrowPillows.org is working on it. In the future they will have specials on ThrowPillows.org where they will giveaway a pillow of the month. Please note though...all giveaway pillows are given out only in limited numbers.***

Why Decorate With Throw Pillows?

Throw pillows are an excellent way to freshen up a living room or bedroom or anywhere else you want to use them. By changing the throw pillows in a room you can completely and inexpensively change its look without having to paint the walls or purchase expensive (and often heavy) furniture, etc.

You can completely change the style of a room with your placement and choice of throw pillows. We encourage you to experiment with different colors, shapes, sizes, textures, and patterns of throw pillows and find out exactly what you like (and what you don’t).

If you are one of those many people who like to change the way the house looks every week, month, season or year then you’re going to love throw pillows (If you don’t already). Throw pillows are easily stored, and are pretty small so you can accumulate a collection of them and alternate looks throughout the year.

Remember, there are thousands of different pillows so there is something for everybody, whether you like vibrant colors and wild patterns or if you like something more tranquil there are plenty of pillows out there for you.

If you are considering changing the style or color scheme of a room, before you paint the walls and buy all new furniture, I suggest getting throw pillows in the color and style you want to convert to. This will give you a taste of how the colors and style you are considering will work together. This can prevent expensive decorating mistakes or assure you that your choices are correct.

We’ll be here for you during all of your decorating (and redecorating efforts) with tons of tips to make finding the perfect look as fun and easy as possible!

Lavish and Lime - Review & Giveaway

2010-10-15T00:04:00.001-05:00

Thanks to Lavish and Lime, M will be styling next year in Kindergarten! We received the Dragonfly Thermal Food Container and couldn't be happier! With it's double walls and stainless steel, foods are kept hot or cold longer - up to FIVE hours! It's great for soups, stews, pasta, hot dogs or yogurt.

My favorite part is that M can bring it back home with her and we are reuse it again and again! Leaving no waste to fill the landfills! M favorite part is that it's purple with a lifelike dragonfly on the front! Guess she's going to want to take her lunch everyday next year!:)

Thanks Lavish and Lime for helping this family to be more eco-friendly!

About Lavish and Lime:

If you're looking for contemporary eco-friendly products to help you live life a little greener, Lavish & Lime is a great place to start.

We’re a husband and wife team that – like most new parents – started thinking more about ingredients, materials and the impact we’re having on the environment when we had kids. We found there were lots of eco-friendly products out there, just not readily available – in Canada.
After returning to Vancouver from London, UK, we decided to take a leap and in 2007 launched Lavish & Lime, offering contemporary products with the level of style we’d become accustomed to in Europe. Uncertain of the response, we started cautiously with eco-friendly as one category. It quickly became our focus.
Lavish & Lime is about shades of green. We’re not tree huggers and we’re definitely not litter bugs either – we’re somewhere in between and firmly believe that even small steps make a difference. If we all do a little, it will help a lot. That’s what the ‘Lime’ is about. The ‘Lavish’ is all about giving and enjoying nice things. Eco doesn’t have to be boring and beige anymore.

BUY IT: Can't wait to see if you win this giveaway? You can purchase ANY of the Thermal Food Containers for $22.00.

WIN IT: One lucky Gobs of Giveaways reader will win a $25 Gift Certificate from Lavish and Lime!

Heart on Your Sleeve Design - Review & Free Shipping Coupon Code

2010-10-13T00:04:00.000-05:00

I love it when I give or receive a gift that actually has meaning. Thanks to Heart on Your Sleeve Design, I will have that chance to make someone else have that warm, tingly feeling.:) I received the Happy Birthday Bracelet and the Snowman Sterling Silver Necklace.

And well, wouldn't the lovely ladies at Heart on Your Sleeve just know that my birthday was right around the corner (Saturday to be exact)? Okay, so they had no idea, but I secretly wanted this bracelet just for me! The beads on this bracelet are so vibrant and bright that they make me smile whenever I look at them. The card that comes with the bracelet reads: "Every time I think of you I thank God for you." 1 Thessalonians 1:2. Wouldn't that just make a perfect gift for someone you love!

We also received the Snowman necklace and I have chosen to keep it back for M. I will place it in the 1st day of the advent calendar, so she can continue to wear it all winter. The chain is made of sterling silver and super durable. And the little snowman is perfect for M with the pearl attached at the top! The cards reads: "Today in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord!" Luke 2:11

So, thanks Heart on Your Sleeve for providing me with a perfect birthday gift and an even better advent calendar present for M.

About Heart on Your Sleeve Design:

Heart On Your Sleeve Design was born out of a personal desire to "wear my heart on my sleeve," says Kim Newton. Unable to find stylish Christian and sports-related jewelry, Kim began to design it for herself. Friends, family and acquaintances began noticing and requesting custom orders. Soon after, gift shops and faith-based organizations began carrying her designs. Dana Stone, a dear friend, began helping as the business continued to grow. Kim says with a laugh, "We always say we make one great person. Her strengths are my weaknesses and vice versa." We could not have dreamed we would have the opportunity to take this simple concept and expand on it so that others can show their love of Christ or their favorite sport, resort, activity, etc. in a fun, stylish way.

BUY IT: You can purchase the Happy Birthday Bracelet for $13.99 and the Snowman Sterling Silver Necklace for $18.99.

**And Heart on Your Sleeve Design has given GOG readers FREE shipping, just use GOBSSHIP at checkout!**

Backyard Safari Outfitters - Review

2010-10-11T00:04:00.001-05:00

Thanks to Team Mom and Backyard Safari Outfitters, M and B have been "exploring" the backyard for hidden treasures (ie. lady bugs, worms, rocks, etc:) We received the Backyard Safari Outfitters' Cargo Vest, Bug Vacuum and Mega-View Periscope. We attached the Periscope to the eagle's nest on the swing set and they love looking through it and relaying back and forth what they see. B will say to M "I see a butterfly with 2 different wings," for those of you who have viewed Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, you know exactly what I am talking about:) Since B is really into Pirates right now, his usual phrase is "Land, straight ahead!"

With the Bug Vacuum, M and B chase the thousand of bugs that live in our backyard and suck them up. The great thing is that they can learn about the bugs that they catch, but then let the go with the catch and release cores. Such a great learning tool! I get to teach M and B about the bugs, but I don't have to touch them:)

The cargo vest is the most essential piece of field gear and it shows! The reason that it's the most important...or so it seems, is that M and B are always fighting over who gets to wear it:)

So, thanks so much Backyard Safari Outfitters for providing our family great OUTDOOR fun!

About Backyard Safari Outfitters:

BACKYARD SAFARI™OUTFITTERS is the outfitter for all your year-round outdoor adventures!

Our year-round ESSENTIAL FIELD GEAR is rugged, fully functional, and made for the field. Perfect for backyards, parks, campgrounds, beaches and lakes.

BUY IT: You can purchase the Backyard Safari Outfitters' Cargo Vest for $19.99, Bug Vacuum for $19.99 and Mega-View Periscope for $24.99.

As most of us know all too well, there are lots of fun things to do on Facebook! From Farmville to catching up with old friends, it's easy to get caught up in a virtual frenzy. However, whenever we learn of a Facebook app that lets us inspire others and contribute to a worthy cause, we can't help but spread the word far and wide!

That's why we're so excited to tell you about the "Hello My Name is Hope" campaign, presented byQuill.com, a leading business-to-business online and direct marketer of office products. To boost breast cancer awareness, Quill.com is inviting all Facebook users to post and personalize virtual "Hello My Name is Hope" stickers on their profiles to honor both survivors and victims of the disease. The familiar "Hello My Name Is" stickers take on new meaning with personalized messages of hope and support shared across the Facebook community. For every sticker shared, Quill.com will donate $1 - up to $20,000 - to City of Hope, a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center dedicated to research, treatment and education.

Throughout October, every sticker created will be displayed in a community gallery on the Quill.com Facebook page, creating a virtual wall of breast cancer messages and images.

Because breast cancer is a disease that has impacted the lives of so many women all over the world, Quill.com is hoping to give a voice to those affected. And because they believe in the power of Moms, they're turning to our community to spread this powerful message of hope.

"Set a Place at the Kids' Table" with Frigidaire

2010-10-08T14:25:00.000-05:00

At any family gathering, it's easy to predict where the loudest laughs and silliest squeal will be coming from- the kid's table! Just like turkey and all the trimmings, the kids' table is a holiday tradition where good times rule. This year, Frigidaire and Jennifer Garner are asking everyone to set a place at their "virtual kid's table" for a child in need.

This great new campaign supports Save the Children's efforts and ensures that kids have access to healthy foods this holiday season and all year long. Starting today, at MakeTimeforChange.com, when you set a place at the virtual kids' table, Frigidaire will donate $1 to support Save the Children's work to help children in need in the U.S., as part of their $500,000 commitment to this worthy cause. Plus, to help spread the word, everyone who participates will be entered for a chance to win a new Frigidaire Professional^® Range.

Hellmann's® virtual Sandwich Swap 'n' Share

2010-10-08T14:16:00.001-05:00

Back-to-school time is here, and for most Moms that means back to car-pooling, homework monitoring and of course, packing lunches. It can be hard to come up with lunches made with real, simple ingredients that kids will eat and actually enjoy. Luckily, Hellmann's® and Best Foods® Mayonnaise are putting the fun back into lunch this September with their virtual Sandwich Swap 'n' Share program.

Celebrity chef Bobby Flay and actress/mom Lori Loughlin are teaming up with Hellmann's® to help re-launch Hellmann's® virtual Sandwich Swap 'n' Share on the Facebook® application (Facebook.com/Hellmanns). This virtual version of the beloved school lunch ritual of swapping sandwiches will benefit Share Our Strength®, the leading non-profit organization ending childhood hunger in America.

When people visit Hellmann's® Page on Facebook®, they'll have the opportunity to create a sandwich on the application and, for every sandwich built, Hellmann's® will make a donation to Share Our Strength®. What's more, when they share a sandwich with a friend, an additional donation will be made as part of Hellmann's® $75,000 commitment to support Share Our Strength®.

NEW Gain Dishwashing Liquid - Review

2010-10-07T00:04:00.003-05:00

Now, everything you love about Gain is available for your dishes. With three refreshing scents, you can kiss the days of boring, unpleasant dishwashing goodbye! You´ll soon find yourself saying, "Honey, I´ll do the dishes tonight." Okay, so I am not sure that I would go that far, but this dishwashing soap really does smell great! And it works too! I recently used it on a pan that I had made enchiladas in...it cut the grease easily and with little effort on my part!

Thanks My Blog Spark and Gain Dishwashing Liquid for a great scented, great working dishwashing liquid!

I will be provided with Gain product, t-shirts, bubbles and Walmart gift cards from P&G through MyBlogSpark for my review.

Giddy Up - Bath Fizzers - Review

2010-09-30T00:04:00.000-05:00

Thanks to Team Mom and Giddy Up, M and B's bath just got a little more interesting! We received the Giddy Up Bath Fizzers and it made for a daunting task a little more enjoyable!

In this kit, you'll find everything you need to make your own fizzers and learn some really cool science along the way. You'll be amazed at what these tiny tablets can do once they hit the water! The frothy little bubbles will massage your muscles, release a fruity scent, and leave you feeling refreshed and full of energy–like you just spent a luxurious day at the spa.

M loved being able to make her own fizzers, while B loved the yummy smell. And since they are just a little younger than the recommended age of 8, M and B didn't quite understand the "science" behind why the fizzers, fizz in the bath tub, but they still loved it! So much so, that B wanted to put it in a cup to watch it again and again!

Thanks, Giddy Up for a great bath time fun!
