Day 14

Moms

Moms need shoes right?  Well TOMS shoes give to more than just moms. For every pair of shoes purchased from TOMS a pair is also given to a child in need.  I don’t currently own a pair of TOMS shoes but I want to.  I ask just about everyone I see with them on how they like them and I have heard nothing but great things.  Most people say that are incredibly comfortable.  So they are on my wishlist this year. 

Babies

Can you call shoes yummy?  These are so adorable!  I just can’t get over how sweet they are.  Check them out at Zuzii. Available in sizes o up to 6-9 months.  Here is what they say about their shoes:

“Our unique handmade footwear is designed with your baby’s comfort in mind. From the plush hand dyed stretch cotton uppers to the tri-layer soles, consisting of a layer of ortho cush-cork sandwiched between a leather insole and an anti-skid rubber sole. These carefully selected materials combine to create a remarkably lightweight and balanced shoe perfect for your little one, available in eleven beautiful colors.”



Kids

Do you have any nieces, nephews, grandkids or other kids in your life that you are away from and you want to remind them of your love for them even when you are not together?  Recordable Storybooks from DaySpring would be a great gift for the kids you love that are separated from you by miles.  Even if you aren’t separated by miles, but want a special gift, these books would make a wonderful gift!
The recordable books are just precious with cute pictures and sweet stories.  It’s very easy to record your voice reading the book.  All you need is a few minutes and a quiet room and you’re done.

The book “All Day Long with Jesus” teaches kids about how Jesus is near to us at all times not matter where we are or what we are doing.  Other titles in the collection are “Bedtime Prayers and Promises”, “I Love You Head to Toe”, and “God’s Christmas Promise.”

Mama Mio Body and Skin Care (and a great Giveaway!)

by

Mommies, have I got a recommendation for you!  I really think you are going to love thisstuff!  I recently got my hands onbottles of Mama Mio Omega Body Buff and Skin Tight. I was excited to try them but I didn’t anticipate them becoming my favorite new skin care products.

First, I have to tell you about the Omega Body Buffscrub.  This stuff goes on right beforeyou get in the shower.  You rub itanywhere your skin could use some softening and it’s gentle enough to use onyour face too.  I make sure to scrub my hands and feet once I am done scrubbing the rest of me and my hands and feet have become so super soft!

I couldn’t get over thescent!  This stuff smells A-MAZING and I almost felt as if I had been transported to a spa (as opposed to my shower that really needed cleaning) as I smoothed it on.  That may sound silly but I promise this stuffsmells fantastic!  It’s a little sad thatyou have to wash the smell of this stuff off in the shower but you won’t mindonce you feel how silky smooth your skin is afterwards (a little bit of the scent remains).  It only took me using it once and I knew thiswas my new favorite, must have, body (and face) scrub!  I could not recommendit more! 


The Skin Tight is pretty amazing as well.  It is for anywhere your skin could use sometightening.  Mama Mio is honest and doesn’t claim instantresults but they recommend you use it at least 30 days to see results.  Every time I use it I do feel tightening and I can tell it’s working.  Skin tight goes on easily and absorbs anddries quickly.  You can even use it onyour face to wake up tired looking skin (um, us mommies, need this often!).

Mama Mio makes many other products (all of which I can’twait to try after these wonderful products!). All of their products are free of the yucky stuff and are good for your skin.  I believe that if you try them you will be really happy you did.

Purchase: You can purchase Mama Mio products from their website.

WIN:  Mama Mio is so kind and I get to give 2 lucky readers one of these great Mama Mio Products.  I will randomly select a winner and the first will receive a bottle of the Omega Body Buff and the second winner will receive Skin Tight. I can’t wait for you to try them!!

Disclosure: I was sent a bottle of Mama Mio Omega Body Buff and Skin Tight to try for free.  My opinions shared here are my own.

Day 12

Moms

I really like Lands’ End Canvas clothing and accessories.  They are modern and stylish, great quality and comfy too!  I think Lands’ End Canvas is so great for moms who want to look nice easily without too much fuss.  Lands’ End canvas gift cards are on my wishlist this year.  I already know which items I would get with them.  Be sure to check out their amazing sale prices too (like jeans for $12.99!!)!


Babies
I seriously love these SweetSeats! Have you ever seen such an great booster seat?  They are so cute and actually add to your decor unlike unsightly booster seats with hard to clean straps and buckles. SweetSeats are covered in a child-safe, food-friendly laminated cotton (a.k.a easy to clean). 
 If you have a child ages 18 months up to 7 years who doesn’t want to sit in their highchair anymore, or always has to sit on their legs to reach the table, the SweetSeat will give them just the boost they need.  
 Oh, and SweetSeats are handmade with great attention to detail. You can purchase one in a variety of colors and patterns for $84.  Use the code ABCKIDS for 15% off.




Kids
 
Remember Caboodles?  I had one when I was a teen and loved it. Now my girls (the 7, 11 &13 year olds) love them! Caboodles has several different styles of cases like the classic one pictured above as well as train cases, mini cases, travel cases and more.
Caboodles are actually my go to gift for tweens & early teens right now.   The younger girls can use them to keep barbie clothing and accessories neat and tidy or to keep art supplies in. Older girls like them filled with nail polish and lip glosses.  My teen likes Caboodles for all of her makeup and supplies.  You can find Caboodles online at Amazon and Target or in stores at Target, Wal-Mart, & Ulta.

Your Mom Designs Etsy Shop: Awesome Gifts for Kids (& A $20 Giveaway)

by
 
First of all, I have to tell you that today I am sharing with you my sister’s Etsy Shop: Your Mom Designs.  She can whip up adorable crotchet hats, super hero masks, play food, nesting bowls and more.  I may be a little biased because I love her so much but I do think she makes some of the cutest stuff ever!  
Each piece of hers is handmade and high quality.  We have had several hats and play food items that have lasted for years and are still in great shape.  If any of it gets dirty I just throw it in a gentle cycle in the wash and it comes out looking as good as new.

Your Mom Designs hats are so cute and practical!  We really like to use them for pictures and for when the weather turns cooler.  There are some really cute designs or you can even request custom hats. Recently I wanted a little teddy bear hat as a gift for a little boy and I paid her to make one.  It was so incredibly cute and such a unique gift to give.

Day 8

Moms

Oh my! Have you ever tried any of Pacifica’s products?  I was in love from the first moment I picked up the Tuscan Blood Orange soap box and smelled it.  It is amazing!  I couldn’t stop there. I had to smell them all.  They make so many wonderful scents but Tuscan Blood Orange and Tahitian Gardenia are my favorites. I love that the soap smells wonderful as you use it and the scent actually lingers afterwords.  Their body butters are also fantastic. They are thick and moisturizing and are great for layering the scent.

I haven’t been a perfume wearer in a while because it has been hard to find a natural one that actually smells great but Pacifica’s are all natural.  I really like carrying their solid perfumes in my purse and use the spray perfume at home.  They just came out with new roll-on perfumes that sounds great for at home or on the go.  Their products are made from natural ingredients and are free from Parabens, Sulfates, Propylene Glycol, Phthalates, GMOs, Triclosan and Petro-chemicals.

Any of Pacifica’s items make great gifts. They are sold at Whole Foods stores or you can order online at Pacifica’s website.  They have free shipping on orders over $50 and you can sign up for their newsletter for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate.


Babies

I love these cards and mobile from Wee Gallery.  They are adorable black and white designs on thick 5×7 cards that are perfect for babies developing vision.  There are many different designs and they can be turned into a mobile by attaching them to a Kikkerland mobile.  I used the mobile and Wee Gallery Jungle cards for my youngest daughter over her bed and she loved to look at them.  With older babies you can use the cards as flashcards to teach them the names of the animals. There are 9 different sets you can choose from.
Kids

Most little girls love to play dress up and pretend they are princesses.  Little Earth’s Beauty offers play makeup for ages 4-9 that you can feel good about your daughter using.  Their makeup is free of synthetic dyes and other harmful ingredients that so many little girls play makeup sets contain. All of the ingredients are disclosed here.

This set comes in a cute bag that looks like a little purse.  Inside you’ll find a mirror, lip gloss, pink glitter gel and silver glitter gel.  Everything goes on very nicely and a little bit goes a long way!  We especially liked the yummy watermelon scent of the lip gloss.
