green i am {DISCOUNT}

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Okay folks today I’m  introducing you to a woman who can make living green super easy!  She’ll help you sort through all the confusing myths about your cleaning products.  Look in your cleaning supply cabinet, how many different bottles of cleaning products do you have?  How much money do you spend regularly on your supplies?  Too much!:-)  I recently hosted a Green I Am party and learned so much.   Penny Dietz is informed, she lives green and is very committed to ensuring her family is protected and healthy.  She started by simply making little changes to how she cleaned her house.  

 

So now under my sink I have 3 bottles of cleaner, one container of a scrub and one bottle to replace spraying Lysol or febreze.   WOW the space!  That is just a silly advantage to cleaning green but I love it!  Nicholas loves to help me clean, handing him the Clorox wipes isn’t the best thing to do or the Windex so we didn’t get to “play” while I cleaned.  But now, he’s moms best helper ;-) Read Penny’s testimonials like this one, ”I had one of those “I help chu Mommy” moments on Thanksgiving morning as I was doing the pre-cooking cleaning. My preschooler wanted to clean ALL the horizontal surfaces in the kitchen and living room. Since we use Basic H2, I was able to let him “help me” without worrying about how much he was using or what he was inhaling or what was touching my furniture (or cats for that matter — though they object to being called “horizontal surfaces”). I am so glad we use a product that is friendly to our environment, furniture, family “.  green i am is your one stop shopping for making necessary changes to breathing clean air, using chemical free cleaners and being healthier.  But it is a lot more too, green i am offers baby products, kids nutrition, of course home products and nutrition for adults and skin care!

Penny Dietz

“I’ve made it my mission to get to the facts – like getting the real dirt on clean. I’ve uncovered the marketing fluff and removed the guesswork. Because let’s face it, even products that call themselves green, usually aren’t.” Penny has done the research for us so don’t spend your time figuring out what she has already discovered, learn from her and  free up time in your day to spend with your family :-)

Did you know pound for pound of body weight, children drink more water, eat more food, and breathe more air than adults. The implication of this is that children will have substantially heavier exposures than adults to any toxins that are present in water, food, or air.  That is a pretty good reason to stop using toxic cleaning products right?  

Check out green i am on facebook to learn more or visit the website for green i am and schedule a consultation with Penny.  That truly is the very best way to get a real understanding of the changes you can make and how easy and affordable it can be.   So stop hesitating, just take the first step in living greener by contacting her today.  It will not get any easier than this, trust me :-)

ALL BABYELAN SUBSCRIBERS ARE LUCKY TODAY :-)   RECEIVE 15% OFF RETAIL PRODUCT PURCHASES & A FREE 1/2 OFF CONSULTATION!!!!  Valid until August 31st.  Enjoy

 

Anna Bondoc {DISCOUNT}

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

What’s in a name?  As expectant parents, we take days, weeks, MONTHS to consider the perfect name to give our precious baby.  Whether it’s a name passed down through the family, a religious name with so much meaning, something you saw written on a sidewalk years ago {that was how my mother named me}, etc…browsing through books and internet sites and recommendations from friends, picking a name is the most important decision you may make as a parent, they have to live with that name for the rest of their lives so make it a good one!  And the newest fashion to show-off ones’ name, ART!  I say “new” since this type of wall decor wasn’t as popular just a few years ago, now it’s all the rage and here’s a company that truly turns your child’s name into a fabulous piece of art!

I recently got to see an Anna Bondoc nameplate up close and personal and let me just tell you…WOW!  Anna Bondoc art in general is modern and edgy, yet super colorful and fun, design a nursery with some of these creations and you’ll have the nursery of your dreams!

Framed or unframed…let me recommend framed, these nameplates are not just screen prints, there’s depth to them, it’s an actual creative design that POPS in the frame!  A true masterpiece for your child to treasure forever!  Mix and match your nameplate with some other amazing, captivating designs from Anna Bondoc to fill the nursery…or the whole house!  This artwork is not babyish so I can see lining the living room or playroom or office walls with piece after brilliant piece.  Enjoy browsing!  And if you are prego, good luck with the name search, take your time and create a name you’ll be proud of!

Take 20% off all nameplates now through August 15th at Anna Bondoc with the code BABYELAN20! Think gifts, a nameplate would make the perfect shower gift!

Skinies Nursing Cami {DISCOUNT}

Monday, July 26th, 2010

As a rather targeted “baby blog”, I think it is safe to assume we have a bunch of breastfeeding and/or soon-to-be breastfeeding moms reading.  Here’s a product that makes me wish I was still breastfeeding exclusively, because now that we’re down to just early morning and bedtime nursing, I don’t have a need for any sort of “nursing wear“; a loose pajama tank does the trick since no one sees me nurse anymore…  I know, so boring.

But for those of you that are nursing day & night, you know how hard it is to find appropriate clothing, that keeps you covered, yet is comfortable and  convenient to use.  I wish I had the chance to review the Skinies Nursing Cami before our nursing sessions had tapered off!  Yes, I agree it looks rather silly, but this is one of those products that you have to actually put on your body, to really “get” just how GREAT it is!

Skinies is a flap & slit-less nursing tank, with big circular breast cut-outs & body-shaping capabilities, to be worn over or under your favorite nursing bra!  I know, I know, you still don’t get it…  Trust me, put this baby on, and you will feel so much more confident about going out in public with your baby, you’ll actually want to feed wherever you go!  Simply lift up your regular shirt, unsnap your nursing bra, and you’re good to go.  Your back & post-partum belly stay covered & you don’t get the feeling of clumsiness with a million layers to sort through, discreetly, while you have a hungry {and most likely, cranky} baby in your arms.

I have always disliked the regular nursing cami’s because they claim to have a built-in bra, but really, what nursing mom can sustain on a wireless, support-less cami alone?  So I was always wearing a nursing bra, plus a nursing tank, plus my regular shirts.  This created so much hassle that I finally resorted to wearing an old maternity tank over a nursing bra, which was loose enough that I could just yank it down from the top.

Enough about me & my troubles though.  Get the Skinies Nursing Cami & you won’t have to worry about any of that!  I think you’ll love it!  BabyElan readers get a special 20% discount when you enter the code “BabyElan” at checkout!

RoSK Sun Cover {DISCOUNT}

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

We’re heading to the beach this weekend, for the first time with Harrison!  Admittedly, I’ve been hesitant to take him, for a few reasons.  First, the idea of sand and saltwater, mixed with a barely crawling baby just does not sound good to me.  All I can picture is either fists full of sand going straight for his mouth or a screaming, miserable mess of a baby…  I know, so optimistic, aren’t I?  Second reason I have been hesitant is that I don’t particularly like the thought of him being out in the hot sun for any stretch of time, which I know is inevitable at the beach with two active older boys!

That said, we’re going anyway.  And you can bet we’ll be using our brand new Rain or Shine Kids (RoSK) UPF30 Organic Sun Cover!  Knowing that this beach trip was coming up, I was so excited to receive this cover, to review for RoSK.

The Sun Cover is a super light weight cotton that won’t trap heat in, but will keep the harmful UV rays off of my sweet baby’s tender skin.  Just like RoSK other fabulous blankets, the Sun Cover can be tied to a front carrier, a car seat or a stroller.  It can even be used as a regular blanket, not tied to anything.  We’ll be using ours on the stroller for sure!

We love RoSK, not only for this new Sun Cover, but also for the fabulous products they introduced us to over the past 5 years.  The original All Weather WooBee  is great, but  even better is their new CityScape series; NYC & Paris screenprinted blankets!  Love these so much.

And now for the super spectacular Sun Cover discount!  Readers, take 30% off your purchase with the code “sun30″.  This is a very limited time offer which expires July 31st, so hurry & get yours now.

Will you enjoy your beach trip this summer with your baby in tow?  I know I will!

The Piggy Story {DISCOUNT}

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

I am in love with all of the little piggies and their friends from The Piggy Story! These piggies are not your run of the mill barnyard animals.  They are pirates, mermaids and even fairies.  They have adventures, inspire creativity and are friends with dragons, princesses, dogs and even cows.  It is my pleasure to introduce all of you {or perhaps reintroduce you} to The Piggy Story and to show everyone how much fun it is to play with these fabulously wonderful pigs!

My kids have played with these piggies before.  My son is a huge fan of the “What’s A Dragon?” theme and keeps his Little Picasso Art Kit handy in the car to take into restaurants or any place else that requires a wait.  Recently, The Piggy Story sent my family several more samples to try out and all of these were just as big of a hit!  The Chalk N Doodle is a great, nearly mess free way for kids to have fun creating with chalk.  In the car and even in our playroom both my 3 and 5 year olds have had hours of fun and creative drawing with the Chalk N Doodle.

These little piggies don’t just have fun with crayons, markers and chalk but they are also experts in helping their fans drift off to sweet dreams.  My daughter has a “Nap N Sack” in the Spring Fling pattern.  This is a MUST on our 3 hour drive to grandma’s house.  Once we arrive at grandma’s it is also her pillow and blanket while we are there.  Both the pillow and blanket fit into a great backpack that helps my preschooler feel like she is a big kid while carrying her sleeping essentials!

The Piggy Story is very excited to share a 10% discount to all BabyElan readers!  Just mention BabyElan {daily} at checkout to receive your this generous discount for your “piggy bank!”
