Win the best kids pet in the world....a Pillow Pet!

The next time your child asks you for a new pet you can say, "YES"! No more worrying about getting a pet that you'll ultimately end up taking care of because the children lose interest, are too busy, or whatever new excuse they come up with this week. Pillow Pets are great because it's not just a pillow... its a pet! These award winning (iParenting Media Award & The 2009 Dr. Toy Best Vacation Product ) Pillow Pets come in 28 different animal friend choices; so whether your child likes unicorns, monkeys, or dolphins there is bound to be a Pillow Pet that is made just for them. Pillow Pets are made out of super soft chenille fabric and open up to make a full size pillow.

Pillow Pets are affordable ($19.95) so they make a great gift for any occasion. They are sized right to be great travel companions as well and since they double as a pillow you will save on space while traveling. I know being the mother of two that we have to pack the house whenever we travel. Since the Pillow Pet can double as a toy and a pillow that is one less thing I have to pack! The Pillow Pet is secured with easy to use Velcro and when open the Velcro has a cloth cover to keep hair, fuzz, and other debris from sticking to the Velcro.I put a few of my favorites below.

Buy It: Available online at Pillow Pets for $19.95 plus shipping and handling. They offer 20% off each additional Pillow Pet that you purchase so you can buy all your favorites.

Win It: Pillow Pets is offering one of my readers a free Pillow Pet of their choice. Visit Pillow Pets and leave me a comment to which one is your childs favorite.

Win an adorable Kidorable Umbrella!

When was the last time you went out and played in the rain? I know it is hard to remember. We get wrapped up in our "adult" lives that we forget to stop and have fun sometimes. Mahayla reminded me of this not to long along. It was a nice winter Florida weekend but it had been raining off and on all weekend. Mahayla loves to play outside but because of the weather she's been restricted to indoor play. She wanted to go outside and play sooo bad and of course my adult self said "NO! It's raining outside and you'll get all wet and dirty!" Mahayla's reply, "It's bath night anyway." I still didn't let her play outside in the rain that weekend but I did the next time she asked. I got Mahayla the Fairy Collection from Kidorable and solved our playing in the rain dilemma plus she looks so adorable in the outfit!

 

This outfit is so adorable! The rain boots have little fairy wings on the toes and the jacket has them on the back. Mahayla loves Tinkerbell and she thinks all fairies are Tinkerbell. She has even worn her rain boots to school. 

Kidorable was established in 1997 with the goal of creating fun, functional, and inspiration clothing and accessories for children. I think they have accomplished that! Kidorable offers a colorful variety of children's apparel and accessories. Whether your child loves ladybugs, mermaids, dinosaurs, or a space hero there is sure to be a style that both child and parent will love. Kidorable makes their products out of upscale materials that are made to last and kid tested.

Kidorable has been featured on the several national media outlets such as People, In Touch, TBS, and the Today Show. They even have a celebrity following! Suri Cruise (Tom Cruise's kid) seems to have the entire Kidorable collection! 

Okay, now the down side. The entire outfit (umbrella, raincoat, and rain boots) can be expensive. The Fairy collection I got above is retailed around $80. Having said that, we've gotten the monies worth out of the outfit. Mahayla wears her boots almost constantly, even to school as I mentioned, the raincoat seems to be sized big so it will fit for a while and she shouldn't out grow her umbrella until at least middle school. The other option if you really love Kidorable's collection but don't want to pay retail is to check out their outlet store. They have a limited number of items but at a much more discounted rate. 

I also signed Mahayla and Tre' up for the Kidorable Birthday Club. It's free and they will send your child a birthday gift plus you get special offers from Kidorable.

Buy It: Visit Kidorable and pick out your child's passion. The cost depending on product purchased will start at $11.50. Shipping is at a flat rate of $7.95 in the US and free if your order is over $100.

Win It: Kidorable is offering one of my followers a Kidorable Umbrella of their choice ($13.50 value)! Visit Kidorable and let me know which of their style collections is your favorite!

Cover Your Hair Accessories Giveaway

I'll be honest, I've never been one to do much to my hair besides brush it and put it in a ponytail (if your lucky). I practically live with my hair pulled back because of the nature of my job...nursing. Trust me, you never forget a ponytail holder after getting vomit or diarrhea in your hair. Mahayla on the other hand, loves having her hair done. I think she's trying to beat some "how many ponytails will fit on your head" contest. Which would be much easier to win if she actually had a good amount of hair. Needless to say my 2 year old daughter owns more hair scrunchies, clips, ribbons, barrette's, and hats than you'd find at your local supercenter. 

Cover Your Hair has a huge selection of hair accessories in loads of styles! Cover Your Hair sent me a very cute crochet knit pull on hat. It's perfect for our Florida "winters" and still quite fashionable. I wore it recently to the ICE event at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando...for the none Floridian's that read my blog let me describe....a sculpted ice winter wonderland that is kept at 9 degrees...parkas are issued at arrival. Anyways, the knitted hat helped keep my fragile little Floridian head nice and warm!

WIN IT: Cover Your Hair is giving away a $25 box of surprise hair accessories to one my readers. Just go to Cover Your Hair and let me know which of their hair accessories that you would like.

BPA-Free Baby Dipper Bowls now Available!

I have previously reviewed the Baby Dipper Bowl and I wanted to update everyone and let them know that the Baby Dipper Bowl is now available in BPA-free plastic. Also, the Baby Dipper now comes with both a fork and spoon! The Baby Dipper is available for purchase on Amazon.com, One Step Ahead, and at The Baby Dipper.com. I have reposted my review below for review:

Mahayla is 2 years old now and boy is she the most stubborn and independent child I know! We never taught her how to use a fork, spoon, etc because she wouldn't let us. She was very determined to learn herself and would freak out if we helped. She made quite the mess but she did learn. I recently was able to try out the baby dipper bowl and spoon. I wish I had this when Mahayla was learning the eat, but atleast I'll have it for peanut #2!

The Baby Dipper was created by a mommy of twins who searched for a one handed feeding system and found none. So she created the Baby Dipper! The Baby Dipper set is a wonderful feeding/learning tool for you child. The contoured edges help quide food onto the spoon, it has a non-skid base, and the spoon is curved to rest on the side so it never falls in. The product is Phthalate-free and lead-free. The Baby Dipper set is microwaveable and dishwasher safe.

The size is great for baby food and rice cereals but is alittle small for bigger portions of foods. Mahayla loves her bowl set and likes to use it to eat her yogurt and ice cream.
