Bummas Review and Giveaway

have you've ever been changing a baby's diaper and have been magically *surprised* by baby needs to go (you know what i mean). something with that cold air and a cold bum! 

and especially boys... watch out... they seem to have a great *sneak-attack*... if you're lucky enough... you might be able to grab a wipe in time... (in my case, not so LUCKY).

Bummas were created by a couple after having their first baby boy and not knowing the best way to dry his bum and avoid those sneak attacks.

Bummas are soft, absorbent, luxurious, 100% cotton baby cloths. They come in a variety of color sets and they come perfectly packaged for gift-giving. i received 'wild ones' bummas, which is my *perfect* collection of bright colors. The cloths measure 5"x7", and are incredibly soft and smooth.

Super absorbent, multipurpose and easy to clean. Wash, dry and use them over and over again. Bummas are guaranteed not to shrink, pill or fade.

Looking to try Bummas, or give them to a new parent, read on...

Jewel Kade Jewelry Review and Giveaway

i've been seeing lots and lots of VERY cool and unique vintage jewelry lately. every time i compliment someone on their necklace, charm, whatever... it always seems to be Jewel Kade. 

i was so LUCKY to receive a chain and charm from the shadow box collection to review and i am LOVIN' my chunky charm necklace!

i was given the Brass Key Shadow Box Charm. what i'm absolutely digging about this charm is that it's double sided. you won't have to worry about your charm flipping over and showing the backside 'cuz if it does, there is always something beautiful showing. the chunkiness and beveled edges accentuate this very GORGEOUS charm.

jewel kade also offers a large selection of charms (in a variety of sizes) along with different style necklaces, bracelets and earrings. there is definitely something for everyone! anything from initial, zodiac, girlie, or glittery (is that a word) to something personal like a photo charm to display your favorite picture.  there are some beautiful seasonal charms that i can't wait to get my hands on....

i've been wearing my necklace and charm everywhere and you wouldn't believe the compliments. yep, i'm lovin' it even more!

parenting *top ten* reasons fall is fabulous!

so... i saw this top ten list in this month's parenting magazine... and it totally cracked me up. so of course, i wanted to share it with all of you. here it goes... enjoy.

top ten reasons fall is FABULOUS*!

1. Hello? do we need to say it? School.

2. Fall clothes come in the same colors as your kids' food stains - chocolate brown, fruit-punch red, and mac-and-cheese orange. Way to save on colorsafe bleach!

3. You get to carve jack-o'-lanterns - the only time seeing a snaggletoothed smile in your home doesn't make you fear an $8500 orthodontist bill.

4. The thrill of new crayons.

5. It gets dark earlier. It's easier to get he kids to bed earlier. You get to go to bed earlier!

6. Nothing smells better than a kid who's just jumped in a leaf pile.

7. All your favorite shows are finally back! Come on, don't you want to know if Will and Emma hook up for good on Glee?

8. Trick-or-treating, that blessed evening when sleep-deprived moms who look like zombies simply blend in with the crowd.

9. We're suckers for the sight of little kids in footy pajamas.

10. Hot cider. Hot cocoa. And for moms, a hot toddy. (yum!)

Munchkin Stroller Cup Holder Review and Giveaway

I've been on a mad search for a convenient way to carry my beverage while out and about with my three year old. Now that she has been promoted to the big girl 'umbrella' stroller, there isn't a great place to hold my drink of choice and everyone knows that I need my hands free to get a hold of that sale rack calling my name! I've tried out several different options including the Munchkin Stroller Cup Holder. 

Overall, it holds most size beverages. The self -leveling feature is pretty much a nice option, however it seems to swivel a little too easily. It's easy to attach to most strollers without any tools and it really is inexpensive as others out there in the market. It makes it easy for drinks to be within arm's reach. If you are looking for a well-made, durable cup holder at a low price, the Munchkin Stroller Cup Holder is the one for you!

Buy It: 

Get your own Munchkin Stroller Cup Holder on the ToysRus website for $7.99.

Win It: 

One winner will receive Munchkin Stroller Cup Holder of their very own.
