PeeKoo Bedding {FREE SHIPPING}
Mar 11th, 2010 by admin

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.

Tots On the Go
Mar 8th, 2010 by admin

Every parent should visit Tots On the Go before going on any type of trip or vacation.  Besides offering some of the newest nessesities and luxuries for families with children Tots On the Go also offers personal consultations to help every busy parent select the perfect travel accessory for their family!  I was sent two fabulous travel items for my family to use during our recent trip to Disneyland!  My kids and I loved both of them so much I purchased them so we would be able to use them on future vacations! The picture above is of my youngest son Will who is 9 months old.  Tots On the Go sent him the Air Play {also pictured}to use on our vacation!  This is a great toy that slips over an airplane’s tray table very securely and is covered with toys on both sides.  There are peak-a-boo flaps with a mirror and another with a picture album where personal pictures of baby’s favorite people can be inserted!  There are also several Velcro toys and balls attached as well.  Will looks tired in the picture above but I promise you he had a fabulous time with his Air Play during our four hour flight.  I loved that everything was attached so I did not have to pick anything off the floor. My two year old daughter fell in love with her Trunki as soon as she saw it.  While she had fun scooting on it around the house she LOVED being pulled on it through the airport!  Being a big girl of 2 {and almost 3} she thinks strollers are for babies but still gets tired of walking sometimes.  Her Trunki was a life saver for us.  Not only did it provide entertainment for her and an easy trip through the airport for us, it doubled as her carry on.  The Trunki fits perfectly under the seats on the plane and has room for all of the important items little gals and guys need to stay busy on long flights! Tots On the Go is great for purchasing everything from Strollers and baby carriers to some of the great items I have outlined above.  Another great feature Tots On the Go offers is their rental program.  {Check their website to see if they offer rentals in your area please.} They will ship many items parents need to take care of baby and big kids to certain locations.  Mom and dad will  have the peace of mind that that each item will be clean, sanitized, safe and will arrive at your home or travel destination.  Choose individual items or go for one of their package deals! Visit Tots On the Go to see all the products they have for families with an on the go lifestyle!  Happy Shopping!

Graze Organic {DISCOUNT}
Mar 8th, 2010 by admin

Baseball practice started this week.  Machine pitch for the 8 year old, first tee-ball season for the 3 year old {he’ll be 4 in 3 weeks}.  This means that life has officially gotten even more hectic for the Blakes, if that was possible!  Also means snack-time, dinner-time, and weekend lunches for about 4 days out of the week will be served on the baseball stands or lounging in the grass behind the dugouts once the weather gets a bit warmer.  Reusable snack totes, here we come!!! I will NOT, will NOT, HAVE NOT bought plastic baggies for our lunches and away meals in quite some time thanks to all the reusable baggie companies out there!  I’ve tried my fair share and have never had a complaint!  Today I want to introduce you to the sturdiest ones I’ve found so far, plus the most “educational” for my pre-schooler.  No fancy designs from Graze Organic and that is totally not a bad thing!  When it comes to a hectic life and three very territorial little boys, simple and “the same” is what matters most!  So when I say, “Connor, grab your snack bag…” he’s learned which Graze Organic bag has “snack” on it.  Of course, they still fight over the “surprise” one {little do they know that one of these days I’m going to fill it with broccoli…SURPRISE!!!} See, Graze Organic bags are educational like I mentioned.  My 3 year old knows the difference between them all, the pictures helped him learn the words and I have the confidence that when I’m watching T throw the ball at 6:30pm and chasing A as he heads for the port-a-potties and C is whining for his sandwich {AKA dinner on the run} I point him towards our cooler {which yes, is reusable too} and he knows which bag to open to find his sandwich!  Same goes for his {daily} pre-school lunch, all the bags are pre-labeled for us and easy to open for C so there’s no prep work for him or his teacher. And what compliments I’ve received!!  Everyone is in love with reusable everything now a days but the simple “fruit” baggie from Graze Organics has gotten me the most comments while out and about {first was at a hockey game while the boys shared Goldfish from the “snack” bag and the family next to use was enthralled by Graze Organic bags!}.  Oh wait…I mentioned how sturdy they are right?  I’ve tried several other companies and these are the thickest, most durable ones yet!  Made in the USA from 100% certified organic cotton & hand silk-screened using water-based inks BTW so no worries on the material that is storing your child’s food.  I’ve been ever so impressed with our set of samples from Graze Organic and I thank them for easing my woes as baseball season crashed down on our family!!  GO PS ROYALS! Organic Cloth Napkins too!! Take 15% off your orders through March 14th with the code babyelan15! Heather and Lesile have a fabulous story about how they got started, about being green and having a healthy lifestyle with their families, check it out here !  I’m sure you can all relate!  And if you are ready to learn something today…here’s your educational green facts from Graze Organic in their why organic section!

Two Blue Cars {GIVEAWAY}
Mar 8th, 2010 by admin

You need to only take a quick look at this site to know why I love it so!  ALL For BOYS…tees both short and long made for our rough and tough little fellas!  Sarah recently chatted about starting an “all boys club”, and this would be one of the companies to join us as mothers of boys world wide search high and low for those perfect boyish tees, perfect for any age {infants on up}, perfect for all seasons, and fitting for any itty bitty masculine personality! Trucks and robots, bikes and good old fashion boomboxes….that’s what little boys are made of!  Sure they are sweet {but there’s no sugar and spice it’s more like dirt and fresh grass}, sure they are nice {but they are also loud and often bruised and bleeding from endless hours of non-stop rough-housing}…little boys are made to be strong and sturdy, with dinosaurs and helicopters as their mascots…and Two Blue Cars has the clothing line to bring out the pure boy in all our little men! Of course  super cool girls will want to wear these tees too…and we can’t blame them for lovin’ the look!  Our sample was the short sleeve orange tee above for our 4 year old Connor.  I can not say enough about the color for starters!  Orange is in right?  I see it everywhere and on blue eyed little boys, it’s the most precious color in his wardrobe to date!  The classic, crisp designs are not overpowering…they are stating through simple, unique graphics  “I LOVE BIG TRUCKS”, “I LOVE DINOSAURS”…hear me roar!!!  Color after color, design after design, there is nothing better for a mother of boys than a favorite pair of blue jeans and the perfect tee on your baby {or big} boy. I hope you’ll agree, that perfect tee is here at Two Blue Cars ! These tees wash and dry very well, retaining the bright color with no fading on the image.  It’s not even Spring yet and we’ve gotten plenty of use out of ours!  Check out the tanks too…some {including my husband} are not fans of tank tops on little boys…I LOVE them, boys get just as hot as anyone else in the heat of the Summer, let those little arm pits breathe!! Totes from Two Blue Cars too, gotta love it!  You know I adore a good tote {for me OR for the kids}, and if sporting one shows what an awesome and proud “Mother of Boys and only Boys” I am, I’m all over it!  For lunches, school bags, library books, beach gear, whatever your little man {or little lady, tomboy or not…} needs to carry around, these totes are perfect!  How about giving away TWO totes, winners pick??  Simple comment back to use which graphic and color you would pick.  Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!
