-CLOSED- Stonyfield YoBaby Review & Giveaway!


 I recently had the opportunity to team up with YoBaby for a review and giveaway! My son is just entering the wonderful world of yogurt and I wanted him to eat yogurt that was not only organic, but offered him all of the best nutrients. We started with YoBaby 3-in 1 Meals apple & sweet potato yogurt. I love the 3-in-1 combo of fruits and veggies that YoBaby offers! It's protein-packed yogurt and purees in one cup and I don't have to do any extra mixing or opening of other containers...sounds good to me! 
 So, little man put YoBaby to the test and...yum! He loved it! I started with just half of one of the cups, but he gobbled it down and left his mouth hanging open for more! 
It was so nice to be able to easily open a tasty trio of yogurt, fruits and veggies for his afternoon snack. It made me feel good about what I was feeding him, not only because he enjoyed it, but because it was a healthy and organic snack for him. Choosing to buy organic has become really important to me. I want the best for my son, I don't want his food filled with...well, who knows what?!? I appreciate companies like YoBaby who provide healthy, good-for-you, organic foods and how thay have such a positive impact.  

Next on our list of YoBaby 3-in-1 Meals to try are the Pear & Green Bean and Peach & Squash. The grocery stores near us were sold out of these flavors, so I've been stalking them to see when they will be re-stocked...they must be really popular! 

Here's a little more info about YoBaby: YoBaby is all natural and certified organic, made with milk from cows fed organic feed and not treated with antibiotics or artificial growth hormones – organic is not only better for baby, but better for the planet as well! Annually, YoBaby supports over 130,000 acres of organic land. In the past 11 years Yobaby has prevented the use of over 1 million treatments of animal synthetic drug treatments. The cows thank you!

You can BUY a YoBaby 3-in-1 Meals at your local grocery store (I found mine at Super Target). You can also try checking their Store Finder.

CLOSED- Crazydogtshirts.com T-Shirt Review & Giveaway!


I recently had the opportunity to review a shirt from Crazydogtshirts! I say "I" in the general sense that, "I" chose the onesie for my son to wear and drool all over. :) I chose the "Dinosaurs are Cool Onesie for my son." I love cotton onesies and shirts for my son- we live in a desert-y area and it is very toasty right now. The last thing I would make my son endure would be a stuffy, fancy outfit... nope! Cotton onesies and t-shirts for the little man! So, I was so happy when I received the onesie and it is good ol' fashioned 100% cotton! It washed up really nicely and I don't think it shrank at all. It is still a little big on him, but I am more than ok with that, because he seems to be having a growth spurt right now. He was happy as a clam in it all day! That makes me a happy mama!



I had so much fun looking through all the categories on Crazy Dog T-shirts as I hunted for my chosen item! They really do have something for everyone!
These are just a few of their categories:

Cowbell t-shirt - $14.99 (I love that SNL skit!)
That's Dandy Shirt - $22.00 (I really like this one and the vintage style makes it look so comfy!)
 Died of Dysentary t-shirt - $18.99 (I LOVED this game! Yay 80's!)

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


-OR-

You can enter to WIN a Crazy Dog T-shirt valued at $19.99 or less on Crazydogtshirts.com!!! The winner is welcome to choose any shirt valued at $19.99 or less that is in stock. The winner cannot have won a shirt from Crazydogtshirts.com or have been sent a shirt for promotional purposes in the last 90 days.

My Blog is Carbon Neutral!

Since a little before I became pregnant, I have become more involved in educating myself about being eco-conscious. I was especially mindful of what I ate and the products that I used while I was pregnant and I continue to do so now that my son is on the "outside!" I continually look for ways to be more eco-friendly, reduce the toxins in our home and do even little things that can help our family become "greener" ...like cloth diapering! So, when I read about the “My blog is carbon neutral” program, I thought it was a worthwhile program to become involved in and share with my readers!

“My blog is carbon neutral” is an initiative, that originated in Germany by the “Make it Green” program. Their goal is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. They do this by planting one tree for every blog that joins their program! It really dows work like they say on their site: 1 Tree + 1 Blog = Carbon Neutral!

So, for every blogger who joins, the "Make it Green" program will be planting a tree that will have a direct impact on me! I found out on their site that they are planting trees in Northern California in a national forest that was devastated by fires.

This is taken from their site: 
The trees are planted in Plumas National Forest in Northern California by “Arbor Day Foundation” our partner in US for the “My blog is carbon neutral” initiative. The “Arbor Day Foundation” is a non-profit conservation and education organization with the goal helping reforest 5,500 acres of Plumas National Forest with 792,000 trees.

Now, when I read that they were planting trees in Northern California, it made me so happy! While I did not grow up quite near the Plumas National Forest, I did grow up in Northern California and all of my family still lives there! 

I think that this is a wonderful program and I encourage anyone with a blog to join. It is free and very easy to sign up for and you can feel good about being a part of the effort to revitalize one of our national forests (while reducing our carbon footprint at the same time!) ...oh yeah!

You can check out their site HERE for more information and the directions on how to sign up.

I would like to thank SAPsMaMa blog and her post, which is where I learned about this program!
