I received a lovely keepsake journal from Sand Dune Books

for a review. The journal contains simple questions for you to fill out, when the journal is completed you pass it along to a friend, sibling, parent, child, etc. This provides the recipient a look into your life, thoughts, feelings, and memories.
There are several journals to choose from:
Mother-Father Son-Daughter
Grandma-Grandpa Honey
Sister-Brother Reunion
Girl (friends)
I think this is such a neat idea. I love to scrapbook and I spend tedious hours setting up the pages, but I don't include a lot of text, I like the focus to be on the pictures. Between Me and You journals are an alternative method that I can use for sharing special memories. A few of the questions in the Mom journal are:

"What are your memories of being a teenager?"
"How long did you go out with Dad?"
"What are your memories of the day I was born?"
"What were some of your favorite things to do as a child?"

Interesting questions, that will take some thinking time, but what a wonderful keepsake to give my son when he's older. Everyone tells you that time flies and before you know it your child will be 18 and you'll look back thinking what happened to your time together. My son is only two but I look back and some stages I can't even remember! I'm going to start writing in my journal NOW while I can still remember all those special milestones.

A little bit about the creator behind Between Me and You Journals:
Winston Simmonds Jr. is President/Founder of Sand Dune Publishing LLC and actually created the Between Me and You™ Relationship Keepsake Journal series as a result of his own desire to have something truly personal and meaningful from his parents. The very enthusiastic response he received from his family after presenting them with his original hand-made question/answer journals as well as the enthusiasm of friends as he recounted his journal experience, helped lead to the realization that there are many people who are seeking more meaningful interactions with family and friends. The Between Me and You™ series offers a helpful way to initiate that interaction. "I just wanted to share this unique journal idea to help us all get a little closer to the people we care about while having fun at the same time."

The journals retails for a very reasonable $14.95. A fun holiday gift for anyone!

I know the blog keeps changing...just when I think I'm done I call up Shara to see how it looks. She tells me there's this that or the other thing. I have a small computer screen and she lets me know if there's gaps on the sides, of course my screen doesn't show any of it. So I change it and say, "how about now?" "what about ...now?"...lol. It's a work in progress.

Have you started your Halloween costume search yet? Don't want to slave away sewing and gluing last minute? Check out the Halloween Party Store! They have costumes for kids, moms, dads, even your pets.

We had the opportunity to review the Toddler Penguin costume. How cute is that penguin?!? The penguin is a full body costume that slips right over your child's head and yes they can wear an outfit underneath and still have room to move/walk comfortably. The feet attach around the shoes with no problem. There's a hole in the wings for the hands, you have make sure you can carry that trick or treat bag right? You'll definitely get a lot of "oh how CUTE!" when your child makes their way around the block in one of these costumes. The penguin costume is very affordable at $29.95.

You'll also find numerous Hannah Montana costumes for those crazed fans, super heroes, princess', animals, you may even find a turkey for dad to wear!

Mini-Mocs

Posted by Mom to 3 Rug Rats | | , | 0 comments »

Soft-soled shoes are the perfect addition to any baby's outfit. Not only do they add a little style, they aide in the development of a baby's feet. I'm always on the lookout for cute and comfy shoes for my little one. I was really excited to receive my pair of mini-mocs. They are super soft and flexible and the elastic around the ankle has a lot of give and take unlike other soft-soled shoes I've tried. Mini-mocs are made of genuine leather, are machine washable, and made in the U.S.A...what more could you ask for? There are so many colors and patterns available, it is easy to coordinate with any outfit. My daughter just entered the "cruising" stage of walking and these shoes will help protect her from unnecessary falls with their non-skid soles. These shoes are adorable and I would recommend them to anyone.

To learn more about Mini-Mocs or to purchase an adorable pair for yourself, simply click on this link.

The give away ends tomorrow night! Be sure to enter!

Okay you tech junkies, this is the review for you!

Unique Skins if giving you the opportunity to change the look of your cell phone, lap top Mp3 players, gaming devices and headsets! Unique Skins has developed a pre-cut vinyl skin that is placed over your existing device giving it a whole new look. Don't worry, the skins will not ruin your device, they stand by their product! You might be wondering how this can be possible, I was skeptical too! I checked out their website and did a lot of reading. I created my skin and ordered it for a mere $6.99. I applied the skin and couldn't believe it. They're kind of like a big sticker. Here's a little more about the actual process Unique Skins uses to create your personalized look.

What exactly are Unique Skins?
They're adhesive-backed vinyl pieces pre-cut to fit your electronic device. While the term skin can also refer to silicone or hard plastic products on the market for the iPod, Zune and several mobile phones.
What type of material do you use?
First you must understand there are two different types of vinyl material: "cast" or "calendared."
Calendared vinyl is fairly inexpensive and is meant mostly for short-term applications on signs. It has a moderately glossy finish, but can have some problems with fading and color inconsistencies and is prone to shrinking over time, especially when exposed to heat. It's also less pliable and doesn't conform as well to compound curves.Cast vinyl costs roughly 2.5 times as much as calendared vinyl, but is notably higher quality. Cast vinyls have a much higher gloss point, doesn't discolor and won't shrink over time. They conform easily to just about any curve and last 7-9 years.

What makes your skins different from the competition?
After testing many different materials Unique Skins has chosen to use Cast vinyl manufactured by the leader in the industry 3M. The 3M™ Controltac™ with Comply assures the customer of a higher gloss and non-visible air release channels for bubble free application. Other features of this high end material include pressure activation, slideability and repositionability for fast and easy applications. Here at Unique Skins we use a cast vinyl and also a cast laminate to protect the quality of the image.

What if my skin starts to smudge, fade, or wear?
Unique Skins stand behind their product 100%. If for any reason your skin starts to smudge, fade, or wear we will replace it for FREE!

Trust me, once you make one of these, you're going to want to make a whole bunch more!
I picked the giraffe print, too cute! Unique Skins makes it so easy for your, head on over to their site and check it out for yourself!

Lotion is a staple around my house. I own a ton of different kinds but none that I totally love...Some are too greasy, some wear off too quickly, some have a smell I don't love. I received a sample of Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. I've been using it now for over a week and I am hooked. It is not like any other lotion I have ever used before. It is extremely lightweight and just blends into my skin. The moisture lasts all day without feeling greasy or sticky. It has a very light fresh scent, no overpowering perfume smell. And best of all, it contains natural and homeopathic ingredients, it is paraban free and is not tested on animals.

What is so different about Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion? "Shielding Lotions are a new type of skin care product based on years of research into how skin heals. They form a protective shield with the outer layer of skin and help keep out irritants. They allow the natural oils and moisture to remain in the skin so it can heal better and they're light in texture so they go on without a greasy mess. Your skin needs help to keep out these moisture-robbing irritants."

I have been using the lotion on my hands and feet this past week. My heels have not looked better in months! I've neglected my feet over the summer with all my flip-flop wearing. My feet look as if I've just had a pedicure and it's only been a week! I've very impressed by this lotion. Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion is my new lotion. I will not be going back to my old greasy lotions. Check out the Skin MD website here for more information.

Don't forget to enter our two great give-aways we got goin' on!

Feeling like your little one needs a little *bling *bling*?
Bumble Bells are the sweetest little anklets for babies and toddlers. Perfect for portraits, gifts and just because. You'll be able to hear that little one wherever they crawl or run off to. The anklets are expandable and come in two sizes (0-9M and 9M-4Years). Jill (owner and designer) reassures us that the bells will not come off the anklets and they are made with 925 sterling silver.
I'm a Chicago mom of a 1-year old little girl and have started up a new business selling Bumble Bells. Would you be interested in reviewing them?

Just before I got pregnant, I was in Thailand visiting some cousins and noticed their 2-year old son walking around in beautiful sterling silver anklets with little bells on them. Mommies in Thailand put them on their babies so as to ward off evil--but they're darned cute and very practical. Everywhere he wandered, we could hear where he went.

When my baby girl was born last year, I had my relatives send a pair of the anklets. She wore them from 2 months on...and we have yet to remove them. They are amazingly practical (roll over? the bells jingle. crawl away? little bells go off. toddle around? bells!). And after the 423,488th comment from passers-by about how cute they were and where could they get a pair, I decided to start selling them.



Bumble Bells is offering 15% off discount to our Mamma Readers!

A lunchtime treat that expands minds, not behinds!
You're going to love these cool lunch box cards...actually your kids will too! Yes, we adore the little "I love you" notes that we stash in our kids lunchboxes, I can't wait to send some in Duke's lunch. Nothing can replace the love notes but Kids Fun Cards helps you mix it up a bit!

You can choose from several themes/series: "Ewww That's Gross", "Real Looney Laws", "It's a Wacky World", "Riddles" and "Mystical Little People". Each pack contains five cards, enough for one week. On the front of the card there will be a question plus the answer (in scratch off form) and the back of the card is set up post card style, so you can add your own message or drop it in the mail for a long-distance hug.

The brains and creativity behind Kids Lunch Box Cards:

Gina Flanagan, an award-winning costume illustrator who worked exclusively in the feature film world, searched like most moms for ways to send her kids to school happy. When her older daughter reported that lunchtime was sometimes lonely for her, Gina began to draw fun notes and put them in her lunchbox. The notes were much more than just a note on a napkin; elaborately illustrated, they grabbed the whole lunch table's attention. Soon a crowd waited to see mom's next cool drawing.
When her younger daughters suffered separation anxiety, Gina drew fancy pictures with words that their teachers would read to them -- and soon enough, they couldn't wait to get to school to see their lunch cards.The cards became more elaborate as the tide of feedback from the kids came in. Gina began to find fun facts and nationally recognized food days that would coordinate with that day's lunch ingredients. Soon calls came from other moms, asking where she got the cards and wondering how they could put them in their own kids' lunches. The idea of turning the cards into a business came organically.


Rose Cricchio, also a mom, is the second half of the duo. Rose, who left the worldwide Warner Bros. retail arm to raise her kids, brings her graphic artwork to the project. Her style and talent, combined with Gina's illustrations, give the cards their unique flair.

Check out these awesome cards over at Kids Fun Cards!

Additionally, Tiny Prints reviews the finished product to ensure consistent print quality on all products. " Wow, you can't beat that!

The Tiny Prints Story...
Tiny Prints was created by three friends who share a love of babies and an appreciation for giving and receiving good paper. Seeing paper and hand-written notes increasingly taking a back seat to email and digital communications, we set out to restore the excitement and the days of announcements, invitations and "just-because" notes in everyone's mailboxes. Having worked in ecommerce in Silicon Valley for many years and sharing a passion for new technology that makes people's lives easier and more convenient, we were inspired to build a website that made shopping for paper fun, easy and even better than the store shopping experience.

As recent new parents ourselves, we were especially drawn to the baby market after personally going through the frustrating experience of trying to shop for unique, high-quality birth announcements online.

Since Tiny Prints was born in Spring 2004, we have been very fortunate to serve our very loyal and passionate customers who share our same appreciation for giving great stationery.

We love what we do and find great joy in helping parents find the perfect design and paper that inspires and leaves a lasting impression.
