Micah & Co. is also offering a great product that you can enter to win.  I know it’s a great product because they were kind enough to let us test it out!  We received the Personalized Car Organizers right before we left for our weekend away and it was a truly a lifesaver!  We put one in the middle section and one in the rear section of our SUV and I was able to get all 6 of our boys organized for the long trip we took.  This is quite a feat, but the ability to put everything in it’s place and to be able to find it later was wonderful!  These are very easy to install and I can’t think of any vehicle they wouldn’t work in!

To enter to win one of these great Personalized Car Organizers, you need to visit Micah & Co. and take a look around!  Then come back here and leave a comment mentioning your favorite product(s).  It’s that simple!  Just make sure that you enter by May 15th.

Bella’s Blessings is a fun online boutique that specializes in affordable hair accessories and children’s jewelry.  When they say affordable they mean it!   Bella’s Blessings offers a variety of stylish children’s accessories such as: adhesive infant hair bows, stylish and affordable hair clips in a range of sizes for infants, babies, toddlers, and older children, decorative hair clips holders, and jewelry for the entire family.

They offer bracelets for infants, babies, toddlers and older children that range from pearl to crystal to personalized sterling silver. They also offer Mother & Grandmother bracelets that can be personalized with the names of their children/grandchildren. These bracelets make excellent gifts.

Lori’s favorite hairbows for her daughter when she was a newborn were kept in with a special gel, but they were very difficult to find so she started making them herself.   As her daughter began to get hair she ran into another dilemma, none of the bows she found would stay in and the ones she did find were too expensive.  So yet again she found a solution and began creating her own bows for her daughter.  People began asking her where she purchased the bows and how they could get some so she decided to bless others by offering these bows at very affordable prices.

She also began making jewelry after her mother-in-law purchased a little bracelet for little Isabella and she wore it home from the hospital.  Lori loved having her little girl wear these bracelets and again found that they were simply too expensive so she began making them herself and even giving them to friends.

It is really amazing that this business was created solely to bless others! I love that they name all of their clips after the children of friends and customers. Lori sent me a few clips for my niece and we were so excited! She even named one after her, but the part I loved most was that she personalizes the tags on each clip’s package! It really makes it a custom gift that the recipient will love. My niece was tickled!

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the clips really do stay in hair! My niece has beautiful golden hair, but it is SUPER straight and it can be challenging to find clips or holders that will stay in - these work perfectly and our “Little Princess” wears them almost every day to school .

Lori has generously offered all of my readers a 10% discount through May 31st if you enter the code frog during checkout.

She has also offered a great giveaway:  The winner may choose any combination of hair accessory items (infant hair bows or small, medium or large hair clips) up to a value of $15.00! Entering is really quite simple:

~ Go to Bella’s Blessings and take a look around.
~ Come back here and leave a comment mentioning your favorite product/style.

This contest will be open for comments through May 8th.

I was thrilled when Christina of BePe Baby contacted me about her shop.  I love slippers but they are usually quite expensive, so you can imagine my surprise when I discovered that these beautiful handmade gems are totally affordable … even on my strict budget! 

I was so excited I decided immediately that I simply had to have a pair for each of the Twinks!   Christina offered me a generous discount to do just that and I could not be happier with the product!  They are high quality and ABSOLUTELY adorable!  The Twinks were very impressed and began frequently asking for their “slippies”! 

BePe Baby is a brand new online boutique that offers a complete line of adorable and unique fleece baby booties, toddler non-skid slippers and diaper bag organizers and alternatives.   Although the shop is new, Christina has been selling BePe Baby products since February 2007, when as a new stay at home mom she felt antsy for something to do. 

BePe Baby’s most popular product is the Toddler non-skid slipper.  Christina is very particular about her products and their quality.  She has a brand new, very exciting diaper bag solution that she hopes to be offering in the shop very soon, so be sure to check back in the shop so that you can be one of the first to buy this amazing new product!

Christina would like all of you to have the opportunity to try out her products.  Her regular prices are extremely affordable, but she has extended a great offer of 20% off your purchase by using the code BP20%OFF.

Christina has also offered the opportunity for one of you to win a $15 gift certificate to go shopping in her store (will cover the cost of almost any pair of slippers).  All you have to do to enter is:

~ Visit BePe Baby and take a look around.
~ Come back here and leave a comment letting us know what your favorite product is.

It’s that simple!  Just be sure to leave your comment by April 29th.

Once again I would like to introduce you to a very creative mom who offers a product that you will love!  I’m always looking for alternatives to soothe away my childrens’ aches and pains and this product definitely fits the bill! 

Aimee Jones is the stay at home mom behind Corn Bag Critters and she knows first hand the wonderful relief offered by corn bags since she has been using them for years!  Corn Bag Critters currently offers 4 cute corn bag animals for children to enjoy (we won’t tell if you want to use them too  :wink: ).  Aimee is planning on adding a line of Corn Bags for adults soon too!

I have to stop and take a moment to introduce you to each of the Corn Bag Critters, that’s right they each have their own name!  There’s Bella the dog, Carter the bear, Petunia the pig, and Quackers the duck.

The Critters are simply warmed in the microwave for about 1 minute and will offer warmth for 1 to 2 hours after that!  This great little Critter is an alternative to a heating pad and can even treat a variety of aches and pains like: earaches, growing pains, general muscle and joint pain, cramps, bachaches, shoulder and neck tension.  They are also a great warm “buddy” to help soothe a child when they are trying to fall asleep. 

I asked Aimee to share a bit about how the Corn Bag Critters were born and why she feels like they are such a great alternative for children:

After my children were born I thought that they would use them as well.
Oh no…….since the corn bags were just plain they had no interest….well night after night my daughter would complain about pains in her legs..growing pains…well the idea struck me to create corn bags for children….I worked up samples and my children were thrilled…and viola corn bag critters were born. Not only do they use them for every ache and pain…they both sleep with their critters every night….the warmth from heating them in the microwave really helps them relax and fall asleep. I really feel strongly that kids today are way too overmedicated for simple aches and pains that a natural method…the corn bag…can relieve and soothe just as well.

Aimee has offered my readers a 20% discount on any purchases of her Corn Bag Critters until the end of April! Just be sure to use the code: frog20408 before you checkout!

She has also very graciously offered you the opportunity to win a Critter for yourself!  Just be sure to visit www.CornBagCritters.com and take a look around.  Come back here and leave a comment letting us know what your favorite character is, what you like most about the idea of using a corn bag and we’d love to know what other characters or suggestions you may have for this great line of products!

This contest is available for shipping to US addresses only and will be open for comments through April 22nd!
