Warm Buddy - Baby Wooly {Review/Giveaway}

This is way to cute and a great idea all at the same time! Warm Buddy sent my daughter this adorable Baby Wooly. Warm Buddies are the original warm-up plush animals. It is "Oh So Soft" plus it comes with an inner heating/cooling pack. It is my daughter's new favorite Baby (she calls all her stuffed animals "Baby") to sleep with.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I was extremely hot all the time. I would wake up every morning and my bed would be drenched in sweat. Still to this day, my daughter is an extremely hot little person. It does not take her long to start sweating when playing. The Baby Wooly helps keep her a little cooler at night when first going to sleep so she is more comfortable snuggling up to her new baby. I placed the the heating/cooling pack in the freezer for 2 hours then place it inside of the Baby Wooly through a velcro opening. The contents inside the pack are natural milled rice and the instructions also say that you can add a few drops of essential oils for aromatherapy benefits.

Direct Words from Warm Buddy:

The Baby Wooly is for ages 3 years and up and should only be used with Adult Supervision. Children should never operate microwave ovens and heat/cool only as directed.

"The Warm Buddy Company created the original warm-up plush stuffed animals. Each of our Warm Buddies comes with a removable inner pack that can be heated in the microwave or cooled in the freezer. Warmbuddies help comfort children and adults to sleep at night. Our Warm Buddy family includes: Beary the Bear, Wooly the Sheep, Leopard Kitten, Warm Buddy Puppies, Spa Bears, and Spud the Couch Potato. The perfect gift for ages 3-100. Warm Buddy warm-up plush animals are proudly made in Canada."

Warm Buddies won the award based on exceptional "value, functionality, quality and appeal of the product." To read more about the PTPA award visit our in the news section."

"The Warm Buddy Company is proud to donate a portion of sales from Large Beary the Bear, Small Beary the Bear and our Bear Mitts to allow bear rehabilitaters to care for cubs in need.

Miss Lucy's Monograms Diaper Tote {Review/Giveaway}

When I first started my blog I had no idea how popular Monogram Stores/Boutiques were until now. Everyone loves to have something that is personalized just for them or a loved one, even their pets! Miss Lucy's Monograms has a ton of different products and accessories that you can have Monogrammed for you or that special loved one. Choose from aprons, bags, key chains, lunch totes, wallets, and so much more!

Miss Lucy's Monograms sent me this adorable and very spacious Brown and Pink Quilted Damask 3 Piece Diaper Tote. It comes with a matching changing pad and matching pouch. You can monogram the bag and the pouch. The bag has 3 front pockets, 3 inside pockets, and 1 back zip pocket. It also has a top zip closure so I don't have to worry about things falling out. The diaper tote feels very durable and top quality with the quilted cotton fabric.

There were 13 different monogram styles, 18 different monogram fonts, and 19 monogram colors to choose from. I chose the 3 Initials Classics, Curlz Font, and Pink Color. I asked them to put my son and daughter's initials on the diaper tote along with our last name initial. For the matching pouch I chose to just put my first name on it. When I received it in the mail it looked so much better then I had pictured it. I have received a ton of compliments while I am out and about.

The matching pouch is a very generous size. I was able to fit my daughters brush and an extra change of clothes for her in it.

Direct words from the owner Debbie:

"Welcome to miss lucy's monograms! We are an online business dedicated to providing you with top quality, distinctive, and unique monogrammed accessories that scream,"tooo cute " for every age !!"

iPhone Birth Announcement Apps {5 Giveaways}

What a great idea! Birth Announcement Apps for your iPhone. This is one of those ideas where you think "Duh, why didn't I think of this". I remember after we had our first child in the Hospital my husband had a 2 page list of phone numbers to call to let everyone know our baby had arrived. Each person he called he had about a 5 minute or more conversation with. It took time away from us spending with our new baby. On top of that everyone was dying to see pictures. We were adjusting to having our first baby, who wasn't even 2 days old yet and were stressed to inform everyone of her arrival and sending pictures. This would have been a life saver 3 years ago for us.

Build-a-Bear Workshop {Review/Giveaway}

**CLOSED**

Click here to see who the winner was.

Every time we go to the mall my daughter and son have to visit Build-a-Bear Workshop. If you have never heard of Build-a-Bear Workshop it is a really cool place where children and adults get to make their own stuffed animals. If you don't have a store conveniently located near you, no worries, you can still buy their adorable bears and animals on line. Build-a-Bear Workshop contacted me and asked if my son and daughter would like to review a bear from their newest Ice Cream Bear Collection.

The Ice Cream Bear Collection is for a limited time only. Build-a-Bear Workshop is offering 2 Bears for only $35 or $20 each from July 2nd to July 18th. Each bear in this collection comes with a plush ice cream cone, a special offer from Baskin Robbins, and a Free Exclusive Ride for your avatar in Build-A-Bearville.

They sent us a $25 Gift Card and the next day we were headed to the mall. Before we received the Gift Card I showed my daughter the pictures of the bears she could choose from. Her favorite color is blue so she chose the Bubblegum Bear but then she surprised me later and wanted the Orange Sherbet Bear instead.

Pyknyk Cork Tote {Review, Video, and Coupon Code}

You may remember a few weeks ago I did a giveaway for a Pyknyk Cork Tote. I must thank all of my readers and followers, Pyknyk was so excited with the turnout in responses that they decided to send me a Cork Tote as a thank you gift. Yay!!! I was in dire need of a new diaper bag/purse. My other diaper bag had velcro on it and it would snag my clothes while I was carrying it. This was very frustrating, several of my clothes got reuined. Ugh... wonder if I could get my money back for that bag... hmmm.

Anyways, I chose the London Desert Night Cork Tote. It shipped very fast and arrived wrapped in gold tissue. I was blown away when I took it out of the package. This Cork Tote is a whole lot bigger then compared to the pictures (I thought) on their website. It had a wonderful new bag smell, I loved the red lining inside, and it came with a matching red changing pad. The cork material is very soft and bendable. My husband was also blown away with it and he thought the Cork was really cool. He said he gives it an A+ for apperance. Pyknyk offers this Cork Tote in a red, brown and now yellow. I want one in every color!!
