Day 4

Moms

Meet Gussy.  Gussy sews.  Gussy sews ruffles.  I heart her ruffles big time!  

These bags by Gussy Sews are so cute and pretty unique.  They would make great totes, diaper bags or purses.  I don’t know about you but I love supporting small businesses selling handmade items. I also like the idea that I can have something that not many other people are carrying around.  I recently went to the Relevant Conference where I got to see some of these great Gussy Sews bags in person and now I can’t wait to get one of my own.

note: if you want to order a Gussy Sews Bag for Christmas do so by 12/3 because that is their Christmas order deadline.

Babies

I think this Hug and Hide Owl Activity Toy by Skip Hop is super cute and tons of fun for a little one!  The owl’s wings open to reveal a baby owl that you can hide in the mommy’s pocket, a mirror and 2 teethers.  For ages 3 months+.  $18 at Amazon.com.

 Kids

 
We love the playground balls from Crocodile Creek They have great designs like ballerinas and ladybugs for girls or the fire truck and dinosaurs for boys.  They come in two sizes, 5″ and 7″.  The 5″ balls are great for smaller kids with little hands while the 7″ size is good for any age.  These balls are textured so they are easy to grip and they bounce well. They are made of rubber and contain no PVC, latex or vinyl.  The 5″ balls sell for about $6.50 & the 7″ for about $10.

Day 3

Moms
Moms if you haven’t tried Mama Mio products you are in for a treat. I recently got to try the Mama Mio OMega Body Buff and I have a new favorite body scrub!  This stuff smells A-MAZING and gently scrubs your skin to reveal super soft skin.  It is even gentle enough for your face.

Mama Mio has products for face and body including many specialty products like Boob Tube (for firming up), Shrink To Fit (cellulite cream), Get Waisted (body shaper), and Goodbye Stretch Marks. They have some great sets for pregnancy and new moms too! Every Mama Mio product is paraben free, petroleum free, phthalates free, sodium laureth and sodium lauryl sulphate free, colourant free, synthetic fragrance free and xenoestrogen free.  Even their fragrances are natural.

Babies

California Baby is my very favorite baby shampoo, body wash and bubble bath brand.  Their products are safe and natural.  There’s none of the yucky stuff in them that isn’t good for babies skin and, get this, their bubble bath comes with a bubble wand!  How much fun is it to blow bubbles to baby when they are in the bath? Of course, the fun isn’t limited to babies; my little kids love this too and can blow their own bubbles in the bath.

 Kids

My tween and teen girls love Sparklehearts for Girls. I did a review for them about a year ago and we have been purchasing each of their products ever since.  As a mom, I love that they are natural and made from organic ingredients and they get my girls squeaky clean and smelling sweet.  My girls like them because they feel pampered when using them. All of the products smell wonderful.  The sparkle in the lotion is a nice touch.

The gift set ($13.99) makes a great gift or you can give the individual products as stocking stuffers.

Stay tuned for a Sparklehearts for Girls Giveaway later today for a chance to win a set of each of the Sparklehearts for girls products.

Kids

Cars 2 has just come out and this movie was a big hit with my kids ages 5 all the way up to 12.  Both my girls and my son enjoyed.  In fact, I have been asked repeatedly when it was coming out on DVD.  I was hoping to make it a Christmas gift but may not make it that long since my son now knows it is out.

Modern-twist Placemats {Now on Sale!}

 I just shared about these great placemats that kids can doodle on here.  Well today Zulily has them on sale for as low as $9.99.  My kids LOVE these and we have been using them at every meal.  We are traveling this Summer and I will be taking them with us to use at restaurants.  We will pack some dry erase markers to keep them occupied while were out.  Check them out on Zulily here.

So Yummy: YummyEarth Organic Lollipops

Seriously, when “yummy” is in your name you better be good! The YummyEarth Organic Lollipops certainly live up to their name!  I am not really a big hard candy or lollipop fan myself but these things are amazingly good.  They have amazing all-natural flavors like Pomegranite Pucker, Tooberry Blueberry, and Strawberry Smash.  All of the flavors I have tried have been very flavorful and, well, really yummy!  My kids can’t get enough of them!  These lollipops make great treats that you can feel better about giving to your kids than high fructose corn syrup, artificial color and artificial flavored filled candy. Last time we went on a family road trip I took a bag of these lollipops and it was a nice distraction for when everyone got a little restless.

YummyEarth also has gummy bears, gummy worms, and drops too! Any of these would be great to hand out at Halloween or put in stockings for Christmas.  Don’t forget about the adults too.  Your friends and co-workers will thank you for introducing them to YummyEarth’s goodness!
