Lovable Labels Review –Lots of Love Event –Feb. 1st-14th!

Welcome to the Lots of Love Giveaway Event. This event is hosted by And The Little Ones Too,Put A Little Umbrella In Your Drink,Seeds of Life,and Taking Time For Mommy. This event features giveaways with a value of $25 or more at each of the participating blogs! Be sure to visit each blog from the linky below and enter for your chance to win! This event will close on February 14th at 11:59 pm EST.

I have had the pleasure of working with Lovable Labels several times and each time their products are always top notch. I am never disappointed with their colors,designs,and options. For the Lots of Love Giveaway Event I once again got to review a new product from the Lovable Labels Collection –Friendship Pack.

The Friendship Pack is a set of Lovable Labels,one pack for lil man and one for my niece. They are offering this as a special where when you purchase one pack you get a free pack for your friend. This is a novel idea especially for those little one’s attending preschool or daycare. Each child can use their pack to label their items such as sippy cups,shoes,hats,jackets,book bags,and even crayon box.

The Friendship pack that I was supplied is the boy colors or otherwise known as Majestic. I chose to have the Dino design on these –it is just so cute. Lovable Labels’ Friendship Pack includes 120 labels for you and a FREE sampler pack for a friend with 40 labels! This is perfect for two siblings (although you will have to choose which one gets the larger and smaller packs),but even better if your child has a friend that would love a sampler set of labels for themselves.

I absolutely love the durability of these labels. They are dishwasher and microwave safe and will stick to all surfaces. One of my favorite ones are the shoe ones. They look like little feet.

When you are ordering a Friendship Pack you can choose between Bedazzled (girly) or Majestic (boyish) as well as numerous different icons to personalize each label. To order your own customized pack,just follow this link to review the package options.

Price:$24.99 CDN for 160 labels{120 + 40 FREE}

Soda Stream Review!

One thing that has been part of my life for many years is soda. I know,I know …it is so unhealthy. Believe me I hear this from several people everyday. I even had a guy tell me to drop the soda’s and come work out at his gym in order to lose weight (this was shortly after having lil’man,so I let it slide). In today’s market it seems like the cost of a soda is getting more and more rediculous. I remember when I was a kid can soda was $0.25 and now you can not get a can of soda for less than $0.89. Not to mention that a 20oz. soda is pretty much obsolete. They have a 24oz or a 16oz now.

Well with all the soda being drunk and all the wasted plastic bottles and metal cans a better option has got to be out there. Well guess what - they do have a better option now.

SODA STREAM

What is Soda Stream you may ask…Well let me tell you,It is only the most awesome thing in the whole world!

Soda Stream is a nifty little thing that allows you to make multiple bottles of delicious soda right in your own kitchen. They offer many varietes to include Dr. Pete,Cola,Diet Cola,Ginger Ale,Fountain Mist,and Energy Drink. They even offer flavored sparkling water aned some very nonconventional options like pink grapefruit soda and Black Currant Pear. One of the favorites in my household is the Root Beer. The taste is second to none and the kids just drink it right up. The best thing is that you reuse the plastic liter bottles over and over again and if you need additional bottles you can get them at their website or target ($24.99 for 2).

Here is a few bits and pieces off the website:

Home Soda Makers

Making carbonated water and soft drinks is simple! Turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds,with no clean-up. Enjoy the freshness and convenience of homemade soda and protect the environment at the same time. No heavy bottles to carry,store at home or throw away. Fizz to your taste and add the flavor of your choice to make your favorite drink. Simple to clean and reuse. With a variety of colors and silhouettes,you’ll be sure to find a soda maker to match with any decor.

Close to My Heart Ergo Carrier Giveaway –Feb 10th –Feb 24th

It’s here!

Now is your chance to win your very own ERGObaby Carrier!

Mama Chocolate has teamed up with several bloggers to bring you this giveaway of this exceptional carrier.

Carry your sweet little one close to your heart this year in your brand new carrier.

Entries are easily completed by following directions on the Rafflecopter form. Only the Facebook entry is mandatory,but you’ll significantly increase your chances of winning by finishing some or all of the bonus entries!

Welcome to the “Close to My Heart Ergo Carrier Giveaway”–I am so excited to be able to offer my wonderful friends a chance to win one of these awesome carriers. I myself have purchased my own several months ago and it is the most used carrier in my home. I bought the awesome light blue one and I have never regretted the purchase.

I know we all love free stuff that is not only useful but again free. So here is your chance to win a lovely Ergo Carrier of your own. This carrier is good for infants (with infant head insert),babies,and toddlers. So no matter what age your little one is it will be a great addition to your already awesome line of wonderful baby products. And even if you don’t need one yourself maybe you know a lucky lady giving birth soon that could use one.

The Ergo carrier is ergonomically designed to not harm you back in any way. It is built for extended wear times,I personally have worn mine for more than 8 hours with no problems (and I have a weak lower back).

Here is a little excerpt from the Ergo Site:

About ergobaby®

Born in the relaxed environment of Hawaii,first designed by Karin Frost,the original ergobaby® Carrier was developed for her son,applying proper ergonomics to a pragmatic need:keep your baby close. She sought feedback from fellow parents,studied kids’ reactions to being carried—and found an enthusiastic audience of likeminded moms and dads.
The ergobaby® Carrier was born out of a personal desire for mobility and comfort allowing you to tackle life while maintaining a close &natural bond with your baby and toddler.
Every new product we design is conceived and developed with a focus on you and your baby. Our products adjust naturally with you – our goal to make life easier in our mobile world. It’s about your comfort,your baby’s developing body—and everywhere you both can go – without limits.
ergobaby® follows a personal mission to keep children close and comforted,and parents strong and able. Our company is sealed with a nautilus logo that represents the evolution,flexibility and instinctive response your lifestyle requires. That first ergobaby® Carrier created an intimate culture of parenting experiences that you are sharing with us.

The one I purchased is the sport carrier:
ERGObaby® Sport Carrier Collection
The ERGOBABY® Sport Carrier is our lightest-weight carrier. Quick-drying materials and extra venting keep you and your baby cool,calm and collected. The waist belt and shoulder straps have extra inches of padding to suit a wider range of babywearers.

I just love carrying little man around in his carrier and even prefer it to a stroller as it is not cumbersome and bumping into everything,lol. I tend to shop with him in the carrier so that I can still maneuver through all the close isles and still keep a firm grip on him and what he is doing. I do find that he gets tired of being in it more that he is a little older but he loves it when he is tired and wants to sleep close to mommy while shopping.

If you have never used a carrier,then you got to give it a try and here is your chance to WIN ONE. So what are you waiting for?

Anyway for the giveaway details:
