Stay With Me Socks Giveaway


I know that all of you moms and dads out there have had this experience; you go to the grocery store with two socks on your baby and you leave with one. How about the always elusive missing socks after nap time?
It always amazed me how Mahayla could always get her socks off...she couldn't hold her head up unsupported but she could pull off both socks and throw them across the room!  I wish I knew about Stay with Me Socks when Mahayla was born and I'll be using them for sure when Tre' arrives in January.

Stay with Me Socks are an ingenious solution to the missing sock saga. Stay with Me Socks have adjustable velcro straps that adjusts in the front or back depending on your kickers needs. You can use those same velco straps to loop together during washing so no more socks eaten by the "washing machine monster." Stay with Me Socks feature skid-proof bottoms, come in a variety of colors and designs. Stay with Me Socks are available in two sizes: 0-3 months and 3-14 months.

Stay with Me Socks has received an iParneting Media Award for the 2009 outstanding product for their unique design and excellent quality. Stay with Me Socks are available for purchase on line and will be available this fall at Target.

Win It: Stay with Me Socks is offering one of my readers a pair of Stay with Me Socks of their very own in the size and color of their choice! Leave me a comment telling me which color and size you would want.

Medela Sleep Bra Giveaway





Medela has long been an industry leader in breastfeeding and breastpumping supplies and remains the #1 choice of Hospitals and health care professionals. I used a Medela Pump in Style with my first pregnancy and won't consider every using another brand breastpump. I never realized all the services and products that are available from Medela.

Medela offers an variety of personal use breastpumps depending on your pumping needs, breastpump and feeding supplies, cleaning and storage supplies, as well as intimate apparel. They even have a Certified Lactation Consultant available for support!  Some may argue that Medela pumps are too expensive. Well, I'll tell you that you get what you pay for. I've used lower quality pumps and none of them can compare to Medela. They may be more expensive but well worth the money.

Medela sent me one of their limited edition mid-blue sleep bras. This bra is perfect for both non-breastfeeding and breastfeeding moms. This sleep bra is made of super soft combed cotton and is tag less.  The design is well fit, comfortable, convenient for night time feeding and holds breast pads in place without leaking during the night. Medela even has a "bra-fitting" tutorial on line video that you can watch to help you ensure your buying a correctly fitted maternity bra. I found this tutorial extremely helpful and discovered that I've been wearing the wrong size bra my whole life!


Win It: Medela is offering one my readers a free limited edition color Mid-Blue sleep bra of their own!

Kimochis Giveaway



Everyone knows how difficult & frustrating it can be to communicate with a toddler. They can't always communicate their mood; we can't always interpret what they are trying to communicate which leads to a mental  breakdown on both sides. If there only was some way to help foster this communication....well there is Kimochis!

Kimochis means "feeling" in Japanese. Kimochis are these wonderfully designed stuffed animal characters that come with feelings inside them. The Kimochis feelings are illustrated on these colorful little pillows that have feeling written on one side and the facial expression on the other. The feelings are then placed in the Kimochis pocket. Your child can help explain their feeling using their Kimochis friend by selecting the "feeling pillow" that suits them and either showing you the emotion or by putting it in their Kimochis friend.


Each Kimochis character comes with its own unique personality, three feelings, and a feelings guide. You are able to pick the Kimochi whose character is close to your own child's character. I got the Kimochi "Cat" for Mahayla. "Cat" is very persuasive, likes to be in charge, and can be bossy. You can use your Kimochi friend to help teach your child not only how to communicate their feeling but also how to get along with others, overcome fears, and foster self-esteem and confidence.

Kimochis were developed with the help of child communication specialists and psychologists. They have been used successfully in the school setting where lessons have been created that both teachers and parents can use at home. Kimochis have received the Dr. Toy Award for 2009 and the Creative Child Magazine Seal of Excellence Award. Kimochis have been featured in several national parenting industry magazines. Kimochis are available for purchase for around $25 and extra feelings are $12 for a pack of 12.

Many of you know that I work with adults and children undergoing bone marrow transplantation. Working with children with cancer is one of my passions in life. After reviewing Kimochis and visiting their website, I decided that Kimochis would also be of great benefit for my tiny warriors. Children battling life threatening illnesses are overwhelming brave but also have difficulty expressing their fears and worries to their caregivers, nurses, and doctors. I have met many children who were scared to tell their parents how scared and lonely they were because they didn't want to upset their parents. These child often feel as if they need to be "stronger" so mommy and daddy will stop crying. I approached our hospitals director of Child Life and the StreetLight program regarding the Kimochis. They are currently working on a pilot program for the Kimochis to help children and teens express their emotions and feeling while being hospitalized for treatment for their life threatening condition.

Win It: Nina from Kimochis is offering one of my followers a Kimochis friend of their own! All you have to do is visit the Kimochis website and let me know which Kimochis character best fits your child.
