& my first Giveaway!!"> Eco Friendly Baby Products Review & my first Giveaway!!

For the last few weeks, we’ve been using some of the great eco-friendly prod­ucts from the Eco Store’s line of baby prod­ucts.  Their line of baby prod­ucts is cre­ated with only the best plant-based ingre­di­ents and essen­tial oils to gen­tly soothe, nour­ish and pro­tect your baby’s sen­si­tive skin.

My favorite prod­uct that we’ve been using is the Baby Mas­sage Oil.  I’ve been putting it on Bai­ley after her baths, and it smells so sweet and refresh­ing (makes me want to have a mas­sage with it!)  It also really keeps her skin moist and healthy. 

We’ve also been using the Baby Nappy Balm at dia­per changes and it is so much more gen­tle on her skin than the other dia­per oint­ments and creams we had been using in the past.

These prod­ucts give me peace of mind too that I’m not only doing some­thing good for the earth by using all nat­ural prod­ucts, but that I’m not expos­ing my baby’s gen­tle skin to any sort of harsh chemicals.

And now for the excit­ing part!  I’m giv­ing away a $25 gift cer­tifi­cate to the Eco Store USA for you to try out any of their line of prod­ucts.  And, they don’t just have baby prod­ucts, but they also have Bath & Body, House­hold, Hair and even Pet Prod­ucts that are all nat­ural as well!  Also, be sure to sign up for their No Nasty Chem­i­cals Newslet­ter over on their blog.

To enter the give­away (you can do as many or as few of these as you’d like, each will earn you an entry into the draw­ing):

  1. Jump over to the Eco Store USA site and take a look, then come back and leave a com­ment telling me what you would get with your $25 gift certificate
  2. Twit­ter about this give­away (come back and post a com­ment with a link to your Tweet)
  3. Blog about this give­away (come back and post a com­ment with a link to your blog post)
  4. Post about this give­away on Face­book (come back and post a com­ment with a link to your Face­book posting)

This give­away will end at mid­night on Sun­day, August 8th, so be sure to get your entries in by then.  I will then draw a ran­dom win­nder from all the entries on Mon­day, August 9th and post it here!

Good luck!


My I ♥ Faces Entry!

♥ Faces (www.iheartfaces.com) is hav­ing a spe­cial con­test this week for entries to be con­sid­ered for their Blurb photo book!  So, here is the photo I chose to enter.  I was going to do one of Bailey’s recent ones, but I do think this is one of the best ones I’ve ever taken.  So here goes!  Wish me luck!

I am sub­mit­ting this photo into the www.iheartfaces.com Blurb Book photo con­test. I am grant­ing I Faces per­mis­sion to use my photo in a printed ver­sion of a book for com­mer­cial use and pos­si­bly adver­tis­ing of a photo book on both the Blurb and I Faces web sites.


Mamapedia Contest!

It’s 2:00 a.m. and your three month old is cry­ing…a lot. You’re a first time mother, and while you’ve got a ton of ques­tions, you called your mom at 2:00 in the morn­ing last night about that crazy look­ing dia­per, so you’d really like to get through this one on your own.

But where can you turn?
Mama­pe­dia is a new site that takes the wis­dom of thou­sands and thou­sands of moms and makes is search­able! You can head to the com­puter with that scream­ing infant in your arms and type,
“Why does my baby cry so much at night?”
And this is what you’ll find — an arti­cle about a mom who asked a ques­tion titled “Sleep­less Nights with a 13 week old” and the responses of forty-four moms. You can read those forty-four answers while bounc­ing your baby, and with a lit­tle luck by the time you are through your infant will be fast asleep and you will feel bet­ter as well.
To launch this new mom resource, the Mom­flu­ence net­work and Resource­ful Mommy are throw­ing a party. Join us on Twit­ter this Fri­day, May 8th, from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. east­ern time along with mom experts in a vari­ety of par­ent­ing areas: mul­ti­ples, kid craft­ing, health and safety, potty train­ing, home school­ing and more!
Dur­ing the party, details about a “What Can I Learn Today?” con­test will be revealed…along with the incred­i­ble grand prize.
Join us by http://resourcefulmommy.blogspot.com/2009/05/mamapedia-sitewarming-friday.html”>RSVP’ing here!
This event brought to you by Mom­flu­ence: rock­ing the cra­dle and shap­ing the world.
