One Year Blogversary Event: The Green Garmento Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

When I was a working (out of the home) mom, I had to wear nice dry clean only clothes to work a lot. I was always making stops at the dry cleaners to drop off and pick up my suits and dresses for work. It never really dawned on my then just how many plastic bags were ending up in the landfill because of my bi-weekly trip to the dry cleaners! Now that I am a work at home mom, I can just wear jeans to work! Sometimes we do need to make a trip to the dry cleaners for my husbands suits and my wool coats, etc. Next time I make this trip to the dry cleaners, I can eliminate the need for wasteful plastic garment bags because I have my new reusable garment bags from The Green Garmento!

These garment bags are so great! You can simply fill it with your dry cleaning - hang it on the back of your door, or use it inside of your hamper. When you are ready to head out to the cleaners, you can close it up with the draw string and you can carry it as a duffel bag! The dry cleaner can put your ticket in the plastic window on your garment bag from The Green Garmento, and when your dry cleaning is ready, your dry cleaner can just send home your clean clothing in this great garment bag! This eliminates the use of so much plastic! I would always take my dry cleaning in a trash bag and then come home with it in the plastic hanging bags. It is estimated that over 300 million pounds of single use plastic garment bags clog our landfills and waterways each year! The Green Garmento is working hard to lessen those horrifying numbers and many dry cleaners are on board! Stop using those single use plastic garment bags and make a change for the better with The Green Garmento! Be fantastic... use less plastic!

One Year Blogversary Event: Crazy, Stupid, Love Giveaway! - CLOSED!

Set to release to Blu-ray and DVD tomorrow, November 1st, Warner Brothers brings us Crazy, Stupid, Love! This movie has an all star cast: Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Morre, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon! Check out the trailer below:

Movie Synopsis:

Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling lead an all-star cast in Crazy, Stupid, Love. Fortysomething straight-laced Cal Weaver (Carell) is living the dream—good job, nice house, great kids and marriage to his high school sweetheart, Emily (Julianne Moore). So when Cal learns that his wife has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his “perfect” life quickly unravels. Cal, who hasn't dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth so handsome player Jacob Palmer (Gosling) takes him on as wingman and protégé, opening Cal’s eyes to the many options before him: flirty women, manly drinks and a sense of style. Despite Cal's makeover and his many new conquests, the one thing that can’t be made over is his heart, which seems to keep leading Cal back to where he began. Brimming with inspired performances, critics are calling this gem of a romantic comedy “a movie that understands love” (Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly).

One Year Blogversary Event: SwaddleDesigns - Swaddle Duo Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

When I was a new parent, I had no clue how to swaddle up my baby girl! Travis learned in the hospital and was a pro at swaddling Bella up like a little burrito and eventually I learned too! Swaddling was really important to us because it comforted our babies and helped us to get a little more sleep. We did not know about making our babies too hot when we swaddled though. Sometimes I would use two receiving blankets to help make sure she wouldn't wiggle free in the middle of the night. I'm sure that I was probably making her too hot (especially since she was born in August!)

I want to tell you about a great company that is helping to inform parents about swaddle safety! This company is called SwaddleDesigns and in addition to their awesome products, they have some great information on safe sleep for your baby and an article on how to swaddle - if you don't know how (like I didn't at first!)

I think that the Swaddle Duo is great - especially for first time parents! I love the fact that it comes with two different swaddle blankets for different climates. I also think that it's ingenious how each blanket is preprinted with an instructional tag! And don't forget “The SwaddleDesigns Goldilocks Guide™" ~ baby should not be too hot, or too cold, but just right ~ comfortably warm. The Goldilock’s Guide helps new parents remember the importance of keeping baby comfortably warm. I think that SwaddleDesgins is a wonderful company that it working to educate parents on the importance of safe sleep for our babies and offers great products to help us swaddle safely and properly!


According to leading SIDS researchers, both overheating AND overchilling are risk factors for SIDS. In addition, it’s important for parents to understand that when baby is too cool during sleep, baby will use valuable energy to stay warm instead of growing and thriving. Over the past few years some juvenile product companies have over focused on overheating as a SIDS risk factor, and there has been a lack of balanced conversation regarding insufficient thermal insulation – the danger of baby being too cool - as a risk factor for SIDS. It is time for a balanced information where parents are educated and reminded of their important responsibility to make sure baby is not too hot or too cold, but comfortably warm.

Founded by Lynette Damir, RN, in 2002, SwaddleDesigns was the first company to introduce the large square swaddling blanket to the US and many countries around the world. SwaddleDesigns is known for their premium quality fabric, fabulous colors and prints, decorative edge, and the innovative 123 Swaddle® instructional label that helps new parents master the art of swaddling. SwaddleDesigns swaddling blankets are perfect for swaddling and have many uses such as a privacy throw for breastfeeding moms, a tummy time play mat and a cover over the stroller.



More About the Swaddle Duo:

Two premium, yet different, baby soft cotton swaddling blankets in a wonderful gift box:

• The Ultimate Receiving Blanket is a lightweight premium cotton flannel - for moderate to cooler environmental temperatures
• The Marquisette Swaddling Blanket is a very lightweight openweave cotton blanket - for warmer environmental temperatures

Parents will be prepared for a variety of environmental temperatures - cool, moderate or warm

Generous size and optimum shape for swaddling

Multi-use and versatile - sunshield, playmat for tummy time, privacy throw for breastfeeding

Easy to follow swaddling instructions sewn on the edge of the blankets

This is such a great classic cartoon that the whole family will love! This is a much have for the Tom and Jerry fan in your life!

One Year Blogversary Event: Mouth Man Hoodies Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

I'm excited to tell you about a company that makes some very fun and unique hoodies for adults and children called Mouth Man! Sam loves alligators right now (we love the show Swamp People) so I thought that he'd really like to have this Mouth Man Gator Hoodie and boy was I right! He asks to wear it constantly! The other day he actually waited by the dryer for his Mouth Man Gator Hoodie to be dry so that he could put it back on! He has such fun putting out his elbows to animate his alligator! He pretends he is eating his sister when he wears this hoodie!

Mouth Man hoodies are patented, custom designed and printed in full color with sharp detailed graphics. Printed with eco-friendly inks on recycled fabric, 100% Polyester Sport Fabric. They come in a variety of different animals: shark, raptor, cobra, frog t-res, and many more! They also carry some Simpsons 20th Anniversary Hoodie Shirts! These would make a great gift for that Simpsons fan - like my hubby!

One Year Blogversary Event: Carmex Healing Lotion and Healing Cream Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad and I absolutely LOVE trying out their new products! This time I was given the Carmex Healing Lotion and Carmex Healing Cream to review and it couldn't have come at a better time! In the winter months, my hands and body get so dry from the cold weather! Especially since I wash my hands so frequently - after changing diapers, my hands just get raw! I try to keep lotion on them, but like I said, frequent hand washings really take their toll on my hands. The Carmex Healing Cream can be used to help repair your driest roughest skin and boy do I need that in the winter months! The Carmex Healing Lotion is great for everyday use to soothe and protect dry skin.
I have been using the Carmex Healing Cream on my roughest, driest spots - my hands and feet! For the past three nights I have put the Carmex Healing Cream on my feet and covered with socks before going to bed. I can really tell a difference! My feet are smoother and softer and most of the dry patches are gone! The Carmex Healing Cream is working just as great on my hands too! At the end of the day, I lather my hands up with it and my hands feel so soothed and I'm really noticing less dryness! A little goes a long way when using this concentrated formula! The Carmex Healing Cream contains 9 healing ingredients to penetrate and repair your driest and roughest skin! This is a really great product and I will be using it all winter long for sure!
The Carmex Healing Lotion works great on the rest of my body - arms, legs, stomach, etc. I love the non-greasy feel of this lotion! It contains Aloe and Vitamin E to nourish and moisturize your skin. The smell of both products is great too! It's light and pleasant. Carmex Healing Lotion works great to protect my skin from dryness. I would highly recommend both of these products, especially for the cold and dry winter months, when your skin needs that extra moisture!
