I just love this Birth Date Print Modern Nursery Art Poster
from Almost Sunday Designs Etsy Shop.   It is actually may be more of a gift for moms but it will be a beautiful addition to a nursery or wall of photos.  I love that you can choose your own custom colors to match your decor.

Check out these other great designs by Almost Sunday Designs as well.

 

Kids

 LeapFrog sent us a LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet a few weeks ago to try out and my kids have LOVED it!  There are so many ways to use it and it makes learning so much fun!

There are so many great games you can play on the LeapPad.  There are also lots of book titles to choose from and this device has a camera plus a video camera for lots more ways to have fun.

I have heard that they are a HOT item for Christmas a may sell out so if you are thinking about getting one for a special someone as a gift I recommend you do it soon.  It comes in green and pink too.

Day 6

Moms


Ann Voskamp’s book One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are is quite possibly the best book I have ever read.  As you read this book you will find yourself transported into Ann’s world as she describes her journey in beautiful detail.  Her story is one of great hope and entering into a life that embraces every moment as a gift.  This book will leave you deeply touched, and quite possibly, changed forever.  I cannot think of a better gift for the women in your life than this book.




Babies

Jellycat makes some of the most adorable stuffed animals ever!  I love these Cordy Roys stuffed animals. Besides being super cute they are soft and cuddly and great for ages 4 months and up. 


Kids

Mouse Paint may possibly be my favorite little kids book.  My 4th daughter and I have read this together probably over 100 times.  She actually memorized it by the time she was 3 and would “read” it to me.  It is a really cute story about mice who are trying to avoid a cat and their adventure with colors and what the colors become when they are mixed with other colors.  It is educational and entertaining at the same time.  You can’t go wrong with this book or the other titles from Ellen Stoll Walsh.

SparkleHearts For Girls Full Size Set Giveaway

My girls and I are big fans of Sparklehearts for girls.  They had me at their fun, girly packaging that promises natural and organic ingredients.  Let’s face it, most girls like pretty, flowery, girly embellishments and Sparklehearts does a great job of delivering just that.  Lots of natural and organic products are a bit boring for girls because they often cannot compete with the eye candy of other products that are full of icky stuff. Sparklehearts, however, is safe for your skin and very appealing to the eye. Sparklehearts products do not contain any artificial colors, parabens, phthalates, or sulfates and the sweet scents they use are natural.

The scents are as sweet as the bottles promise. My girls love that Sparklehearts are just for them and I’ve noticed slightly more frequent showers once we started using it.

I also love to give Sparklehearts for Girls as gifts.  In fact I am going to be filling my girls stockings with them this year.

To purchase Sparklehearts Natural Beauty For Girls products you can visit their website. They have a great gift set for $13.99.  Or you can purchase the body lotion, body wash, shampoo, conditioner & detangler separately.

Enter with Rafflecopter for a chance to WIN a set of each of the Sparklehearts for girls full size products.  If you are reading this in email or on a mobile device you will need to go to the main site to see the entry form below.

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.

Cars 2 has just come out and this movie was a big hit with my kids ages 5 all the way up to 12.  Both my girls and my son enjoyed.  In fact, I have been asked repeatedly when it was coming out on DVD.  I was hoping to make it a Christmas gift but may not make it that long since my son now knows it is out.
