Congrats Winners! Thanks everyone for entering!

We will soon be welcoming our next little one into this world. I simply can't believe how fast the time has gone by. I am NOT ready. Ready to meet him, but not ready for his arrival. I feel like there is still so much to do.

Thank goodness for the internet and being able to read product reviews from actual families that use the products! There are just so many to choose from now a days that I would be completely lost if I just walked into a store to buy things. It is all still so surreal and I don't think it will actually hit me that we are having another little one until he actually arrives!

Here's an update on my pregnancy:

How far along? 36 Weeks.

Belly button in or out? It's a little bit out which is freaky. I obsessed over this with my last pregnancy and it stayed in the entire time.

Sleep? Whats that...?!

Foods I am loving? Ice! I love a cup of ice. I also really like the red baron mini pizzas, yum!

Foods I am hating? Pickles, they give me crazy heartburn!

Best moment this week? It's Christmas! Very exciting because this year Oreo is very much into whats going on.

Movement? Crazy movement All The Time. He is much more active than I remember Oreo being. I felt the coolest movement the other night, my belly was rapidly moving up and down and you could not only see it but feel it too. It was baby practicing his breathing in the womb. Amazing!

Symptoms? Exhaustion and broken hips. I'm not complaining though, I will take that over the millions of other symptoms out there!
Gender? 99% sure it's a boy. Although we've only had one ultrasound and one wonky looking picture of his 'stuff'. So I am leaving that 1% open still.

What I miss? Being able to do everyday things and not getting completely exhausted from it!

What I'm looking forward to? Holding our little one SOON.

event day 10: Tommee Tipee review

Tommee Tippee, from the UK based Mayborn Group Limited, is the number-one brand of infant and toddler feeding products in Great Britain one of the top brands of infant products and accessories in the global market. Loved by parents and children alike, Tommee Tippee has received numerous brand accolades in Great Britain, including top ranks in the prestigious Mother and Baby Awards, a head-to-head assessment of competitive products voted on by moms themselves. The Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature line of baby bottles has been chosen as Great Britain’s best baby bottle, winning the Gold award in 2006/7, in 2008/9 and again in 2009/10. In 2009, Tommee Tippee was the first and only children’s feeding brand to be selected as a UK Superbrand in a nationwide poll of consumers, putting it on par with brands such as Microsoft®, Coca-Cola®, Nike®, Lego® and Google®.

Inspired by nature, the superior design offers a uniquely soft, wide nipple that naturally flexes and stretches like the breast. The advanced anti-colic valve lets baby feed without vacuum or nipple collapse, helping to reduce gas, colic and fussiness.

event day 9: Funkoos review

Funkoos has some of the softest top quality baby organic products out on the market! I can not wait to put our little one into their clothing. Even after washing it the softness only got better. The designs are cute and fun with both boy, girl, and gender neutral options. Look for my personal experience review of Funkoos in February after baby arrives!

About Us

Funkoos is America’s rapidly growing provider of organic, environmentally safe clothing for children. Since opening our first online store in September 2009, the company strives to be a new kind of clothing company – smart, economical, and fun.

Our Story

In the summer of 2008, we went shopping for clothing for our newborn children and went looking specifically for clothes that were both chemical and pesticide free. The organic clothing we did find was really expensive and average quality. We thought there had to be quality, affordable organic clothing, but there wasn’t. So like many entrepreneurs, we set out to give astute parents a choice.

From the beginning, we vowed to manufacture our Funkoos brand clothing from the finest organic, chemical free-fibers. Our styles are always fun, simple, and super-friendly to young children’s sensitive skin. Our mission is singular – to manufacture our clothes in 100% fair-trade work environments, keep our clothing purely organic, and give a portion of our profits back to the planet through our many charitable causes.

We hope you and your little ones enjoy all of our clothes for years to come.

event day 8: i play review and giveaway

I can't wait to put Belly Baby into our organic i play crawler set! Keep your eye out for pictures and the second review about how much we love it!

All i play.^® and green sprouts ^® products have been BPA free since 2006, and we are continually researching ways to make safer baby products.

At i play.^®, we know parents want the best for their baby. That’s why we make fun, baby-friendly i play.^® andgreen sprouts^® products for little ones.

event day 7: Crane humidifier review and giveaway

We are in love with our little Dragon Crane humidifier. I have to be honest and say that I ended up using it before the little ones. I had gotten a horrible nighttime flu and being pregnant it was hard to find any type of natural relief. I noticed a huge difference the first night we used it, my throat was less swollen and breathing became much easier. I now use it at my bed side every night since we've turned the heat on. It keeps the room nice and cool which is a perfect sleeping environment for me. I can't wait to buy one for each room in the house!
