Sonny and Reed {FREE SHIPPING & DISCOUNT}

Monday, March 15th, 2010

 If your child is teething you should try this product!  It is a teething necklace worn by mom and used by your baby.  Interesting idea right, an accessory for me and life saver for Noah :-)   We hold our babies a lot even more when they are uncomfortable and in pain from teething.  So it makes perfect sense to wear a teething “toy” for your baby to use to help soothe their inflamed gums while enjoying a cuddle with mom. :-)  

Sonny and Reed  gave Noah a set a few months ago.  He had been teething is top two front teeth since December!  What a nightmare for everyone.   Thankfully we have had this fabulous teething necklace shown above to help him through the past 2 1/2 months!   The naturally cool feel of the beads with fabulous little bumps on one side and smooth on the other side gives a naturally soothing feel to their gums.  It is a fashion accessory for moms and a baby necessity for teething!   Perfect combination.  

CLEAR WITH BROWN CORDING

 They come in black with clear logo bead, clear, blue and clear with pink cording and are easily worn with just about any outfit.   You can jazz up your attire while keeping a smile on your babies face.  NICE!  Another great feature, the distraction factor is huge :-)   I have long hair, what child can resist pulling on long hair right?  Well when I’m wearing Sonny and Reeds necklace Noah isn’t interested in my hair!  Awesome :-)

 

Sonny and Reed are the only designer teething necklace made from FDA approved material.  Made in the USA, we love that feature,  from non-toxic, FDA approved material and conforms to Consumer Product Safety Commission’s 16 CFR 1500 and will not pass through the choke tube.  So no worries!  AND they are dishwasher safe, I just toss mine in the top rack of the dishwasher!

Checkout their latest print feature in Aprils issue of Parents Magazine in the Goody Bag section, my favorite page!  How exciting is that!  Noah and Joey really enjoy using the teething necklace.   They play with it like a teething toy too when sitting on the floor and playing.  Joey loves to use it in his exersaucer :-) We carry the beads with us on stroller rides too, hang them from the stroller bar so they don’t get dropped :-)

PeeKoo Bedding {FREE SHIPPING}

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

First off, when it comes to bedding {especially toddler and twin bedding} selection is very microscopic!  You may find the perfect duvet or comforter only to not be able to find a matching sheet set OR your child grows out of the bed too quickly and you have to buy yet another entire set!  PLUS, I don’t know about you, but my taste in bedding changes with the seasons!  It’s ideal to find something that works from toddler-hood on up through elementary school until they are ready for a more grown-up room and bigger bed.  The best part about today’s bedding company…a duvet and sheet all-in-one…let me enlighten you…

Like I said, a duvet cover WITH A SHEET ATTACHED!  No more searching the bottom of the bed for the sheet that got shoved down there or untangling your little monster from the sheets while he/she sleeps, PeeKoo Bedding has developed a remarkable {patent pending} and fashionable way to keep the sheet in place!  I have never been more pleased with a bedding set!  Our sample from PeeKoo bedding is the one above, Drew’s Zoo, and I love it!  I’ve admired the animal pattern mainly because I have other items that match it perfectly in the nursery and now that my 4 year old and 21 month old share a bedroom, we needed to incorporate baby and big boy all in one…so this theme works out brilliantly!  Connor is still in a toddler bed and even when my 8 year old was in a toddler bed I could never find the perfect bedding with matching sheet set.  There’s just nothing good out there when it comes to toddler bedding, plus…why spend that kind of money when they’ll be in a bigger bed so quickly.  We use our Twin PeeKoo Bedding Duvet in our toddler bed and it works perfectly!  Sure it’s a bit big, but in my opinion that’s all the more to snuggle with and stay warm.  It looks awesome and it will grow with Connor as he grows.  Once the twin bunk beds are in place at the end of the Summer, I don’t have to worry about new bedding for him which is a HUGE stress reliever for me!  BUT, have no fear, if you do need the bigger Full size bedding, PeeKoo Bedding has that too!

Now, the attached sheet…yes you can remove it to wash it, yes it really does stay in place,  yes it matches everything since the sheets are solid coordinating colors, and YES, PeeKoo Bedding also sells the matching fitted sheets and pillowcases so no worry on that end either!  Check out how to fill your duvet and attach the top sheet here, it’s so simple and the end result is so sharp!  Boy Designs or Girl Designs {oh how I love the girlie ones…}, stripes, dots, firetrucks, and more…you’ll find a coordinating PeeKoo Bedding set to match any decor you already have in place or if you’re in the process of creating that big boy/big girl room, start here!  And FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $100 with the code LUXE at checkout.

Green Garmento {FREE SHIPPING & GIVEAWAY}

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

For those of you taking little steps to live your life a bit more green, I have a product for you today that will painlessly help you take another step in living green.  ;-)   Most of us use the dry cleaners regularly right?  So what if I told you a company has designed a eco friendly 3-in-1 reusable garment bag, interested?

Green Garmento has designed the perfect bag for dry cleaning.  This is how it works, at home you use it as your dry cleaning hamper.  When you are ready for your clothes to by cleaned, the hamper becomes your dry cleaning duffel or bag.  This same bag is given to your dry cleaner and they use it as your garment bag!  Isn’t that wonderful!  No swapping out piles of clothes from one hamper to a bag  then from plastic bags to the closet.

The Green Garmento  team believes in helping you live greener. Every year over 300 million pounds of single-use plastic dry cleaning bags are dumped into our landfills?* And that’s just in The United States. Plastic bags are rarely recycled, they don’t completely break down in landfills, they kill marine and wildlife and can cause choking accidents and sometimes death in infants and toddlers. If left on dry cleaned clothes, the plastic bags don’t “breathe” which can cause the chemicals to stay in your clothing which then leach into your skin.

 

The Green Garmento is like a reusable grocery tote for your clothes. Green Garmento Features, made from recyclable non-woven polypropylene, breathable & water-resistant, side zipper allows easy access to hanging garments, drawstring closure at bottom, sturdy loop fits over any hook for use as a hanging hamper, durable shoulder strap for convenient carrying as a duffel bag, reinforced handles for compressed carrying, wide gussets allow cleaned clothes to hang gently at all times, machine washable (short cycle – cold) and hang dries quickly, see-through front pocket for dry cleaning ticket or other customer ID,  recyclable & Reusable.  I was worried about my dry cleaners not using my bag or losing my clothes but with the see-through pocket you just put a copy of your dry cleaning ticket in the pocket.  No worries :-)   The bag is big enough to hold 10-12 garments and comes in bright colors making the bag very easy to spot!

We’ve really enjoyed our Green Garmento bag.  It is just so convenient.  We use recyclable grocery bags, why not dry cleaning bags.  Such an easy change!

Fantastic colors, my favorite is the burst of orange!  You can not miss that bag!

GIVEAWAY ALERT! :-)    Let’s give one lucky reader a chance to win their very own Green Garmento!!  Win the Green Grass Garmento bag   when you comment back here what you like best about this wonderful product.   EXTRA ENTRIES FOR ALL GIVEAWAYS!

Momma’s Jewels {FREE SHIPPING}

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Don’t you just love when you can throw on one fabulous accessory that really makes a statement?  Something that draws the oohs, ahhs & questions about its origin {as in, “Where did you get that necklace?  I simply must have one!”} like no other.  And when that special something is practical too, well friends, life doesn’t get a whole lot better than that!

That is exactly how I feel about my gorgeous new necklace from Momma’s Jewels!  I was very lucky to receive a sample of their gorgeous one-ring sterling silver necklace, for review.

As you know by now, we here at BabyElan {especially myself} are real suckers for practical baby products!  But after testing out products and writing for nearly 3 years, we’ve also become slightly partial to what we do and don’t find to be practical AND luxurious!  Well, Momma’s Jewels certainly fits the bill in our book!  Wear it to look gorgeous while letting your sweet little cherub suck on it for soothing teething relief!

This is no flimsy plastic necklace ladies.  This is a real “push present” if I have ever seen one! The benefits of a Momma’s Jewels necklace are great.  Because it is made from 100% sterling silver, it is safe for baby to suck on and play with, and it is easy to clean.  The cool silver soothes baby’s gums while teething.  It has an endless chain, so there are no loose pieces for baby to accidentally get a hold of.  The rings are hollow, which makes wearing the necklace that much more enjoyable; it’s light and refreshing!  So there you go, it’s completely obvious that a lot of care and attention to detail went into the design of this collection.

With three different necklaces to choose from; one, two & three ring designs, as well as the one and two ring bracelet, Momma’s Jewels has a piece for everyone. If you have three children, get the three-ring design!  Then to make it that much more special, have each ring engraved with your children’s names.  Of course, you don’t have to do this, but I thought it sounded like such a neat idea.  And for the ultimate in “keepsake-ness”, note that baby’s teeth could leave small marks in the ring.  How’s that for the baby book?

Momma’s Jewels is offering free shipping to all BabyElan readers and subscribers!  Simply enter “babyelanfreeship” at checkout!

Bear Feet Shoes {FREE SHIPPING & GIVEAWAY}

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

It all started with a simple observation, babies like to be bare footed. Developmentally babies feet should be barefoot as much as possible so it can grow naturally into its shape.   Common sense shows babies can not possibly always be barefooted due to hazardous hidden dangers in grass, on sidewalks, at the playground even in your own homes carpet.  Thus, Bear Feet Shoes was born with a simple classic infant bootie.  :-)

Noah was lucky enough to receive such a pair from Bear Feet Shoes just in time!  He’s nine months and cruising all around.  He prefers to have you hold his little hands while he tries to master walking to crawling any day.  So I was thrilled to put this adorable pair of shoes to the test.   The leather is really soft, the shoe is super light which is so important at this stage of development.  The rubber soles bend effortlessly and keep him from slipping and sliding on the hardwood floors as he steadies his wobbly little legs.   The stitching on the inside is minimal so the shoe isn’t irritating, pinching or making his baby foot red.  We are thrilled to put them to great use!

Bear Feet are unique in that they mold to the shape of the foot instead of forcing the foot to conform. They are more flexible than most shoes, which is important because children are not heavy enough to fully flex most other soles. There are various studies to suggest that walking bare foot is actually better for the growth of children’s feet and the only purpose of shoes should be to keep the feet warm and protected from cuts. Of course, we think shoes should be stylish too, so Bear Feet are offered in a wide variety of colors and styles.

Cool styles, vibrant colors and patterns for girls and boys, babies to big kids. Genuine leather, natural rubber, cotton and silk.
Our shoes are made in USA with quality materials from US and Europe!

Aren’t these gorgeous!  That elegant little slipper is precious, super light, delicate but durable!  Every espering ballerina needs a pair!  Shoot for Shoes :-)   is a blog  program,  in which Bear Feet Shoes send shoes to photographically inclined parents to shoot on their children in exchange for professional photographs, which they find are naturally more beautiful than staged photo shoots :-) Isn’t that fun!

GIVEAWAY:  Bear Feet Shoes would like to giveaway one pair of shoes to a lucky reader!  Comment here which 5 pair you like the best and one will be given to you!  Follow Bear Feet Shoes on FACEBOOK for extra entries!! Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!!  ALSO ENJOY FREE SHIPPING AT CHECKOUT FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS!
