Wordless Wednesday

My little man with his "I Love You Stinky Face" book and "Stinky" shirt that we found! My hubby and I both call little man our little Stinky Face - we've called him that ever since we started reading him this book, at about 4 months, I think. We read this book every night together and I just love our bedtime story routine! He had gotten a hold of the book one day, and I just couldn't resist taking pictures!

*Don't mind the drool on the shirt... he just can't help himself...

Skoy Cloth Review & Giveaway! Two Winners!!!


I was so happy when I got the opportunity to do a review and giveaway with Skoy Cloth. I was very eager to try something that could possibly become my alternative to paper towels. I use paper towels for everything- cleaning up spills, as napkins, cleaning the bathroom...etc. *Sigh* I over-use them, I know, but they are so convenient. Well, when the opportunity came along to review Skoy Cloths, I gave myself a mini challenge- to stop using paper towels for everything! Not only are they so expensive, but I feel very wasteful when I use them and very not green. 
The Skoy Cloth is not only fun and colorful to use in place of paper towels, but it is also fabulously absorbent, 100% biodegradable and a natural, earth-friendly, multi-purpose cloth!   The Skoy Cloth is a sturdy re-usable cloth that is perfect to use in the kitchen, bathroom, or on any other surface you can think of! It can be used in place of your sponge or paper towels and it really does work like a charm- it really has some amazing scrubbing power.

The Skoy Cloth is biodegradable, made from a natural cotton and wood-based cellulose pulp, they have used water-based colors and inks and the Skoy Cloth will completely break down from being composted in 5 weeks! While it is biodegradable, it is also very durable and will last for months in an average home. This can replace the use of up to 15 rolls of paper towels! Wow! Not only is the Skoy Cloth better for the environment, it is better for you budget too! 

I also think that the Skoy Cloth is very unique because it is so cleanable. It dries quickly (in place of that wet sponge hanging out growing who-knows-what as its own petri dish), it can be microwaved when wet , put in the dishwasher, or cleaned in the washer and dryer! 

 So, what did I think about the Skoy Cloth?!?

Well, after using the multi-colored 4-pack of Skoy Cloths that were generously sent to me to try out, I have to say that I really, really love using them in place of paper towels for cleaning! When I first opened the package, I though that colors and flower design were cute and cheerful. 

The cloth is very stiff and a little rough when it is dry. It softened right up as I ran it under the water!

I rung it out and used it to clean my kitchen counter-top and then scrub my stove top. It cleaned the counter so well! It absorbed the spills and kept the debris neatly in the cloth and it did wonders on my stove-top! I was very surprised at how much liquid it could actually hold and I really loved that it could be used for a long period of time before I needed to wring it out again. I can't even imagine how many paper towels I would have used to clean my counter and stove! I also designated one of the cloths to be a floor cleaning cloth and another to be a bathroom cleaning cloth. When I cleaned the kitchen floor, it was almost effortless wiping to clean and I really didn't have to use much elbow grease to get the floors looking shiny and spotless! It also did a fabulous job cleaning up my bathroom. I am really impressed with how easy they are to use and what a good job they do with cleaning. I am one happy mama with my Skoy Cloths within easy reach of messes around the house!

Now, I can't say that I have completely eliminated the use of paper towels since I have gotten my Skoy Cloths. I still have paper towels in the house, but I definitely am not burning through my rolls any more! Slowly but surely I am greening my home! I have even gotten some compliments on them- my mom was visiting and she really liked how well they cleaned and how cute they were. I'm thinking that they would make some cute Christmas gifts- especially in their fun packaging!

You can BUY Skoy Cloths on their website.

-CLOSED- Teething Bling by Smart Mom Review & Giveaway!


Little Michael is quite the teether. According to his Dr., he has been teething since he was 3 months old...he's 9 months now. That's a lot of teething for one little man! He chews on everything! Everything goes in his mouth! I had stopped wearing jewelry when he was born and haven't really worn much since then, because I didn't want him trying to put it in his mouth. So, needless to say, I was so excited when I found out that Smart Mom was going to send me some of their Teething Bling for a review!

Teething Bling is the original patent-pending teething jewelry. The Teething Bling pendants, bangles and keychains are made from the same silicone as most teething toys. Their products contain no harmful chemicals such as phthalates, BPA's, PVC's, lead or latex and all pendants come with a breakaway clasp as an added safety measure. They not only look great for mommy to wear as jewelry, but they are safe for your little one to play with and chew on too!

Smart Mom Jewelry sent me a wonderful package that included the Onyx Donut Shaped Pendant and the Jade and Brown Gift Set (which includes the Jade Donut Shaped Pendant, the Brown Bangle and the Jade Bangle).


I love the onyx one because, well, black goes with everything! The jade and brown set is also perfect for me because brown and blue are my favorite colors!
They have so many other beautiful solid colors, patterns and bangles too! 



Well, little Michael took to the Teething Bling like a fish to water! I think it's teething heaven for him!
Where have you been all my life?!?

hhhmmm... Where does it go? ...Oh yeah, in my mouth!


I wear my Teething Bling necklaces and/or bangles pretty much every day. I love that the necklaces are right at the perfect spot for little Michael when we are out shopping. He sits up in his shopping cart cover and can play with and munch on the necklace while I push the cart! It's the perfect dangling distraction for him - it keeps him happy and it helps his poor little gummies! (He has 4 teeth trying to come in right now...my poor baby!) 
I was so thankful I had one of the Teething Bling necklaces on when we were up north visiting my family and took an afternoon trip to the beach. I grew up on the Monterey Bay and would go to  Carmel Beach a lot. So, I thought it would be so much fun and such a wonderful little memory to take little Michael to the beach I grew up on. His first encounter with sand did NOT go well...

I don't think he's a beach baby.

The rest of the afternoon, he wanted nothing other than to be held and chew on his Teething Bling necklace. Sorry little man for the rough introduction to sand and the ocean!

So, all that to say that little Michael LOVES his Teething Bling and I love that I can wear necklaces without having to worry about telling him no every time he reaches for my necklace or bangles, I love that it is safe for him to chew on and that it eases his pain with teething, and I love that they are stylish for me and entertaining for him! I only wish that I had known about Teething Bling sooner!

I think that Teething Bling is perfect for any mom who has a baby and it would also make a wonderful baby shower gift! The gift sets even comes with their own bag and a card too!  



You can BUY Smart Mom Teething Bling on their website.

You can enter to WIN one of the two items that I received from Smart Mom! One lucky reader will win either the Onyx Donut Shaped Pendant or the Jade and Brown Gift Set!!!

-CLOSED- CSN Stores $35 Gift Certificate Giveaway!

I was recently contacted by CSN Stores to partner with them for a giveaway on my blog as one of their Preferred Bloggers! I love looking through the CSN Stores website, they have over 200 online stores, where you can pretty much find whatever your little heart is looking for! On top of that, most of their products have free shipping! I love when there is free shipping, it just sweetens the deal for me. Well, one things I have been looking for recently are new dishes. My hubby and I are in the (slow) process of re-doing our kitchen and  I have been hunting around for new plates. Our old ones are cheapo's and starting to look the worse for wear. One of the brands that I have been thinking about getting is Corelle, because they have so many different designs to choose from and they are super durable! You can drop them on almost any surface and they won't break! Sounds perfect for a house with little babies growing up in it! This is one of the patterns that I really like:

-CLOSED- Happy Baby Review & Giveaway!


I recently had the opportunity to team up with Happy Baby for a review and giveaway! Happy Baby is a wonderful company who has made it their mission to make "baby food as healthy and delicious as homemade with the essential nutrients needed for optimal growth and development."  I love that they have such a commitment to quality, being all organic, and really seeking to make baby and toddler food that is truly the best for your little one. I don't make my own baby food, partially because where we live have a very limited supply or organic produce, so, I know that choosing foods like the Happy Baby products will give little Michael a well-balanced diet that is organic, and is free of all the icky pesticides, chemical fertilizers, genetic modification, and preservatives that his little body does not need. And he loves the way it all tastes too- double bonus!

Happy Baby sent me a delightful care package of yumminess right to my door in a great little cooler with freezer packs to keep everything nice and cold. I (or should I say little Michael) opened up the package to find all of this!

  •  Happy Melts - Strawberry
  • Happy Melts - Banana Mango
  • Happy Melts - Mixed Berry
  • Happy Bites - Salmon Stix 
  • Happy Baby Pouch - Mama Grain
  • Happy Baby Pouch - Gobble, Gobble
  • Happy Puffs- Apple
  • Happy Puffs - Banana
  • Happy Tot - Spinach, Mango and Pear

 I started little Michael out on the banana Happy Puffs. I really liked the information that I read on the canister of Happy Puffs! Not only was it a great easy-open package, but the puffs have 1/2 the sugar as the leading brands, it is a good source of Iron, Vitamin D, Calcium, and B Vitamins and it is made with whole grains! Delicious and nutritious! Michael was so cute to watch eat was he munched on the banana puffs! He would grab a puff with his right hand, then transfer it to his left hand and then shove his whole hand in his mouth to get the puff in! He really liked the way both the apple and the banana puffs tasted and he is always wanting more! I even keep a snack container of puffs in my diaper bag for when we are out running errands!
Grab it with my right hand...

 Get it to my left hand...

Shove it in my mouth!

Michael also tried the Happy Baby Pouch in Mama Grain, which is a blend of organic banana, water necessary for cooking, organic quinoa, organic black bean, organic plum. These pouches are for babies 7 months and up and are balanced meals that are enriched with Salba, nature’s super-grain, which contains omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and minerals. Little Michael was a little unsure at first bite, this was the chunkiest food he had eaten up to this point and he wasn't super keen on the extra chewing. But, even though he made funny faces at me, he kept opening his mouth for more. A couple days later, we ventured into new territory again and tried the Happy Baby Pouch in Gobble, Gobble, which is a blend of water necessary for cooking, organic sweet potato, organic potato, organic turkey, organic squash, organic millet, organic apple, Salba, organic garlic, organic oregano. He was much more "into" this one and about half way through his meal, I suddenly exclaimed, "You're not a vegetarian anymore!" His first meats! He definitely seemed to enjoy the turkey and I think that Gobble, Gobble will be a staple in our house!
 
Little Michael also tried the Happy Tot Spinach, Mango and Pear puree and he loved it, just as I thought he would. Little man LOVES anything with green veggies in it, especially spinach and broccoli!  The Happy Tot Spinach, Mango and Pear is a blend of organic pear, organic mango, organic spinach, Salba, and organic acerola fruit. It has a whopping 822 mg of Omega-3'sper serving too! Little Michael also went for the Happy Melts with about the same gusto as he did the puffs and I really like that the freeze-dried yogurt melts have pre and probiotics for good digestive health. 

Now, the Happy Bites Salmon Stix are the one thing that little man did not try, I did! I cooked them up and had about half the package for a snack in the afternoon. They were really good! They weren't greasy or have that fake-y fish taste. You could taste the yummy fish but I couldn't taste even a hint of veggies. I actually made a lemon and dill dip to go with them that really brought out the flavor! I am really looking forward to the day when I can let little Michael have these with his dinner or lunch. I also think that it is great that the toddler meals have hidden veggies in them, they are high in protein and have omega-3 fatty acids!

I am so happy that I got a chance to let little Michael experience a wide variety of Happy Baby products. I felt good about feeding him organic foods that are packed with nutrients and other goodness and he loved eating it! We are a Happy Baby home for sure! If you have a little one, I definitely recommend Happy Baby products for whatever stage they are in!


You can BUY a Happy Baby products at your local Babies R Us, some Super Targets, Whole Foods, Amazon.com, and their own Happy Baby Shop. You can also try checking their Store Locator.

Inspire Your Walls

My hubby and I have been slowly working on fixing up our house that we bought a little over a year ago. Sometimes the task is a little daunting because some of the walls are so big! As we put new coats of paint on them, I have been racking my brain trying to think of how I can decorate some of my rooms in a unique way that reflects our personalities without spending a fortune. Well, I recently discovered the site Inspire Your Walls, a site that sells wall decals! What a perfect solution for our many bare walls! Inspire Your Walls has a website as well as an Etsy shop with some really cute and unique wall art! I loved looking through them to get some inspiration and ideas for our house.

I would love this one in our laundry room!

Here are some other wall decals that they offer on their site:
Now, I have never actually used wall decals before, but their site says that their lettering is a thin vinyl material that goes on easily and it is also removable! It seems like a pretty easy way to add some great decorative accents to your home without having to worry about it being permanent...for the day when our home office becomes a second kids bedroom! (No baby #2 anytime soon though!) Looking through the site, there is a nice variety of lettering and over 23 color choices! You're sure to find the perfect color for every room! I also really like that you can create a "hand painted" look of art without actually having to paint or use stencils. One thing that I have learned about myself as we are painting the various rooms in the house- I am not any good at the minute details of painting. I leave all the detail and edging work to my hubby- he's great at it and I usually just make a mess that he has to clean up! Haha!

The Inspire Your Walls lettering would be perfect for any room in your home or apartment, a business, a college dorm room, church, car windshield, or probably anything else you can think of!

You can keep up with Inspire Your Walls on their blog:

If you are a blogger, there is an Inspire Your Walls This Summer Campaign going on over on their blog and they would love some blogging love! In return, you can be entered to win a gift certificate to Inspire Your Walls!

-CLOSED- Nachomamatees.com Review & Giveaway!



 Recently, I got the opportunity to review a shirt from Nachomamatees.com
This time, I let my hubby pick out a shirt! I figured it was about time he got a funny new t-shirt, since usually it is the little man and I who get to try all the fun stuff! We had such a great time looking through all the shirts! 
Nachomamatees.com has a great variety of shirts, you're bound to find one that you just can't live without! If you're in the mood to laugh, check out some of their funny t-shirts. One of my favorites was
 Find X t shirt - sometimes I wish I could have done this in math class!
 Looking for something that looks a little more classic? Then check out their vintage t-shirts! My personal favorite was

Rocket Science t-shirt - This one would be perfect for my cousin who actually is a rocket scientist!
Born in the 80's? They've got 80's t-shirts for you too!
  Back to the Future Hoverboard t-shirt - shouldn't we have these by now? ;)



My hubby finally settled on the Hadouken shirt

I didn't exactly "get it," but it brought back lots of fun Street Fighter video game memories for him! I would have a picture of my hubby in this shirt, but, he has been on the road for work and he took it with him. Although, he did tell me that he has never gotten so many comments about a shirt he's work before. He said guys would walk past him and start chuckling or some even told him how they remembered that game and that Street Fighter move! 
When we first got the shirt in the mail, I really liked the weight of the shirt, it wasn't thin or flimsy feeling. It is a nice gray cotton and it washed up really nicely. The print on the front washed up really well too and I can tell that it won't fade or crack. My hubby is really happy with his shirt and that makes me happy! I really like the quality and I would definitely recommend  Nachomamatees.com as a place to do some t-shirt shopping from!


You can BUY an Nachomamatees.com T-shirt for yourself or a friend or a loved one in your life by going to their site here: Nachomamatees.com
