Mommy Kudos Gift Guide Day 11

Day 11

Moms
Moms are often so busy taking care of others that there is little time to spend on themselves.  That is one reason why I think a SpaFinder Gift Certificate would be a lovely gift for any mom.
SpaFinder Gift Certificates are the perfect gift for every occasion. The gift certificates can be printed or shipped to the recipient. Accepted at over 6,000 spas around the globe, they can be used for ANY spa treatment of the recipient’s choice such as relaxing massages, luxurious facials, fine beauty products, and more.  Ahh, sounds amazing!


Babies

These handmade nesting bowls by Your Moms Designs are so much fun to play with. Little ones love the bright colors and you can stack them inside themselves or turn them over and stack them up high.  They are soft and yet sturdy.  For a chance to win a set (or another item) enter here.

Constructive Eating ConstructionChildrens Plate for use with Constructive Eating Utensils

Do you know any little boy who wouldn’t love to play with his food with a bulldozer, fork lift and front loader?  These utensils from Constructive Eating give them permission to do just that.  They come together as a set of 3 or individually as a bull dozer pusher, a fork lift fork and a front loader spoon.  My son received these as a gift when he was 3 and has used them for just about every meal since (he is now 6).  In fact there have even been some tears shed when they were still getting cleaned in the dishwasher. We just recently discovered that the company has a plate out that goes with the utensils.  We haven’t used it yet but it looks as if it would be a lot of fun.  It is a divided plate with a ramp and a place for the utensils to sit. Oh , and all of these products are PVC, phthalate, and BPA free.

Day 9

Moms

I live in Texas and Texans love their cowboy boots (well, most Texans anyway).  I have been a bit resistant to joint the masses of cowboy boot wearers in this state.  That was until I came across these super cute Stadium Stompers for women.  They are cowboy boots that are also rainboots and they coordinate with your favorite football team colors.  Wear them rain or shine and be in high fashion.  How great is that?!


Babies



I recently came across Kathe Kruse toys and dolls and cannot get over how adorable they are.  It is so hard to pick just one of them.  
Kathe Kruse makes toys for babies and toddlers that are soft, colorful and child friendly.  They are made with only natural ingredients such as cotton and sheep wool.  Kathe Kruse Organics make toys that are nature-friendly and fun to play with. 

Kids

 Here’s a great book suggestion for the kids in your life: Bugs by the Numbers.  This book tells you all about bugs with numeric facts.  It is a clever and eye-catching way to learn about bugs. After seeing this book and reading it I have added it to my son’s gift list for Christmas. I am certain that he will get a big kick out of this book.

Day 3

Moms
Moms if you haven’t tried Mama Mio products you are in for a treat. I recently got to try the Mama Mio OMega Body Buff and I have a new favorite body scrub!  This stuff smells A-MAZING and gently scrubs your skin to reveal super soft skin.  It is even gentle enough for your face.

Mama Mio has products for face and body including many specialty products like Boob Tube (for firming up), Shrink To Fit (cellulite cream), Get Waisted (body shaper), and Goodbye Stretch Marks. They have some great sets for pregnancy and new moms too! Every Mama Mio product is paraben free, petroleum free, phthalates free, sodium laureth and sodium lauryl sulphate free, colourant free, synthetic fragrance free and xenoestrogen free.  Even their fragrances are natural.

Babies

California Baby is my very favorite baby shampoo, body wash and bubble bath brand.  Their products are safe and natural.  There’s none of the yucky stuff in them that isn’t good for babies skin and, get this, their bubble bath comes with a bubble wand!  How much fun is it to blow bubbles to baby when they are in the bath? Of course, the fun isn’t limited to babies; my little kids love this too and can blow their own bubbles in the bath.

 Kids

My tween and teen girls love Sparklehearts for Girls. I did a review for them about a year ago and we have been purchasing each of their products ever since.  As a mom, I love that they are natural and made from organic ingredients and they get my girls squeaky clean and smelling sweet.  My girls like them because they feel pampered when using them. All of the products smell wonderful.  The sparkle in the lotion is a nice touch.

The gift set ($13.99) makes a great gift or you can give the individual products as stocking stuffers.

Stay tuned for a Sparklehearts for Girls Giveaway later today for a chance to win a set of each of the Sparklehearts for girls products.

Disclosure: I previously received both Mama Mio Body Buff and Sparklehearts for Girls Body Wash for free to review.  My opinions are my own.  I have included some affiliate links in this post to help support Mommy Kudos.  Thank you!

The Great Lands’ End Canvas Outfit that I Got to Wear to #Relevant11

I had a wonderful time at The Relevant Bloggers Conference this past weekend. It was an amazing time of connecting, learning, being encouraged and dreaming of all that is to come for Mommy Kudos.  I’ll be sure to share some of the great blogging tips and tricks I learned over the next couple weeks.

The reason I am writing today though is to finally share which outfit I wore from Lands’ End Canvas.  In cased you missed it Lands’ End Canvas Sponsored an outfit for me to wear at Relevant.  I wore the outfit on Friday and got some really great comments from the women at Relevant. My favorite was that I looked very classy.  I like to look classy but as a busy mom of 6 I don’t get that kind of comment very often.  Hmmm…maybe I need to invest a little more into my wardrobe from Lands’ End Canvas so I look classy a little more often?!

So here’s my outfit:

 First I wore the The Heritage Long Sleeve Crewneck in Gray Heather.  These long sleeved shirts are very soft and make great layering shirts!  I’ll wear mine again and again in different ways.

I just LOVED the Wool Hunting Jacket I got to wear.  It is incredibly versatile and can be worn with jeans, like I did, slacks or even a skirt.  Lands’ End Canvas has so many cute shirts that would go with it!  I loved the patches on the elbows of this jacket and the very flattering cut.  The back of it may possibly be cuter than the front. 

The jeans that I picked to wear were the Stretch Slim Leg Jeans.  I was surprised at how comfortable they were.  They are a higher rise than most jeans you can find these days (9 1/4″) which is what this mommy of 6 needs to cover stretched out places (you didn’t even know I had them did ya *wink*).

For accessories I chose the Patterned Wool Gauze Scarf in Orange Brick Print and the Aged Leather Belt in brown.  The scarf was a great pop of color for the outfit!  The belt was simple and classic and fit comfortably.

Last but certainly not least, I wore the Emerson Demi Wedge Boots.  These boots are so classy!  I wore them ALL DAY LONG and my feet didn’t hurt a bit at the end of the day. Now that is impressive!  They are really cute with the leather ankle strap. 

I hope you’ll think of Lands’ End Canvas next time you need a cute outfit!  I am pretty certain you will love their quality and style.  Remember that they have fantastic sales too!  Check them out and tell them Mommy Kudos sent ya!
