Update 11/27

            Hey folks! I hope you all are enjoying all of the giveaways that have been going on! I have to admit, although I didn't plan it to work out this way, all these giveaways going on at the same time have been a happy accident of sorts because I've run into some writer's block again. Booo!
            I've also been busy trying to get some stuff in order for our Etsy store. I'm really REALLY wanting and hoping it will take off enough so that I can stay home with Myka (and future children. Have I mentioned I've had baby fever lately? lol) and still be able to contribute financially. Yes, I am one of THOSE. Don't get me wrong: I don't undermine the importance of raising children. But, I've always been the type of person who doesn't like relying on others financially. I want to at least be able to help out a little bit.

Big Girl Stuff

            Myka seems to go through spurts where she learns lots of new stuff and how to do new things within a short period of time. Lately has been one of those times. I still can’t get over all of the new things she’s doing and trying! I’m sure every parent feels that way with their kids, but since Myka is my first, humor me. ;)

Getting Excited About the We Love Mei Tais Event

 
Didytai Giveaway Event
Sponsored by Adriane Stare of Caribou Baby
 
Hosted by:
 
Co-hosted by:
Our Piece of Earth According to Jenny Zephyr Hill Blog
The Median Mommy Life as a Wife, Mummy and Nurse I Thought I Knew Mama
Mommy's Favorite Things Kerrific online Living Peacefully with Children
Hobo Mama Momma Lew
   

Are you ready?!

            The Tuesday after Thanksgiving - the frenzy starts! We are giving away a very awesome and beautiful Woven Mei Tai - The Didymos Didy Tai valued at $190. Open to residents of US and Canada.

            This giveaway is unique. The Didymos Didy Tai is a wonderful marriage between a woven wrap and a Buckle carrier. It's Super fast (and easy to learn) like the buckle carrier and snugly like a wrap. The DidyTai (or wrap-tai) has a criss-cross back for weight support. This is the only Mei Tai style carrier that Caribou Baby recommends for newborns because of the tremendous back support - and the ability to carry the baby legs out in a deep squat - from day 1.

            The DidyTai is versatile. Its toggle base allows for a great newborn hold and for the mobility of an older baby.

Other features of the Didy Tai include:
  • Reversible two-color carrier
  • Anatomically correct squat-spread-position
  • Special, diagonally stretchable cloth
  • Lightweight and handy
  • Free from any toxic materials
  • Pure organic cotton
  • Non-toxic dyes
  • Made in Germany
  • Machine washable
  • Long-lasting and resistant
  The giveaway begins on December 4th. Make sure you sign up for my emails so that you are reminded about this giveaway.

Finger Painting (BLT)

            I had a much needed, extended, 4 day weekend over Veteran’s Day weekend, so since we weren’t feeling rushed and I’ve not let Myka do any fun “hands on, special activities” lately, we decided to finally see how finger painting would go. As I’ve mentioned before, Myka was (and still is) really weird about new textures, but is making leaps and bounds as far as not freaking out now. Still, I was really surprised when we whipped the finger paints out, strapped her in her chair, and she dug right in with no qualms! It was even more fun because we were Skyping with my mom while she was painting, so that was kind of nice we could at least share that “first” in a way.

Getting in Shape (Part 3) - Jogging Stroller

Hi! My name is Alicia and I will be your giant hypocrite for the evening! :D

            I hate to sound like “that” person who dives head first into things too quickly (although I kind of am) and I DEFINITELY don’t want to sound like I have a surplus of money to spend at my leisure because that’s far from the truth, BUT…we kind of splurged on a “new to us” jogging stroller. Me. With a jogging stroller. Me, who always scoffed at them back in the day. Yep.

Getting in Shape (Part 2) - Jogging Apps

            Welcome back! If you read part 1, you read about wanting to get in better shape before having another baby has really kicked my butt in gear to get serious about losing weight. I have already cut way back on pop and pasta in the past several months and love going hiking, but something more needs to be done; something more “drastic” and regular. While I do get an excellent workout from hiking up and down “mountains” with Myka on my back at least once a week, that’s not exactly going to help me out for the rest of the week.

Splash Math 
            Splash Math has now launched their website as well as an updated app that syncs with their website so your children's progress and rewards will be the same on both platforms! Splash Math uses an Adaptive Algorithm that finds a child's true grade level with Splash Score. With this, a child can learn at his/her own pace. Unlimited questions from hundreds of skills across Grades 1 through 5 ensure that there are no gaps left in elementary math skills! It is fun and engaging, so kids WANT to practice their Math!

Math was definitely my least favorite and worst subject in school. I didn't do terrible, but a program like this would have been really helpful and probably would have gotten me more interested in math! This would be a great program to use in a home school setting and to help out public school students alike! 

Check out the full Splash Math Review on Pea of Sweetness. Want to check it out? Sign up for a free 7 day trial! About the prize: One lucky winner will receive a one-year subscription to Splash Math - a $79 Value!

            As a society, we are seemingly more worried about what we put into our bodies – you see a bigger push for stores and even restaurants to offer organic, all-natural and gluten-free foods, but I wonder, does that same desire for chemical-free living extend to our body care products as well?  Pick up any bottle of “mainstream” shampoo and you may find yourself face to face with a list of ingredients that you cannot pronounce, or that contain harsh agents such as parabens, alcohol, and sulfates, just to name a few.  If we demand all-natural products for the inside, we should do the same for the outside!  
            Just Natural Organic Care offers a full line of hair and skin products made from organic ingredients, as well as being free of sulfates, parabens, alcohol and gluten!  In addition to that, they are also vegan and cruelty-free!  Krista over at Savory Savings had the chance to try out Just Natural Organic Care’s psoriasis line of haircare products including the shampoo, conditioner, vinegar rinse and body soap!  Be sure to check out her full review as she shares about softer hair and an itch-free scalp for the whole family!
            As most of you know, we strive to find all natural and/or organic bath and body products as much as possible at our house. I would love to try some of these products out for that reason, but would especially love to see how the psoriasis hair care would work for my husband! 
            Would you like to win three products of your choice from Just Natural Organic Care?  Enter with the Giveaway Tool below!  This giveaway is open to US residents only, ages 18 and older.  The giveaway will run from November 13, 2013 through November 27, 2013 at 11 PM CST.

            With dry skin and eczema running high during the winter months, it is important to take good care of your skin.  This is even more so, for those with moderate to severe eczema that flares easily.  Krista over at Savory Savings recently had the chance to check out The Eczema Company - your new one stop shop for all things itchy skin related!  She reviewed the "On The Spot" eczema stick balm and loved how easy it was to apply (even kids can do it!) and that it was not greasy!  This product is great for chapped cheeks from wind, dry/cracked knees and elbows and little patches of stubborn dry skin.  Be sure to check out the full review on Savory Savings!
            If you would like to protect your skin from becoming dry and itchy, or would like to heal it, check out this Eczema Healing Set giveaway!  Valued at nearly $40 this set includes On The Spot, a honey skin cream, and an olive oil soap!  This would make a beautiful gift or fantastic addition to your daily beauty routine to ensure healthy and smooth skin.
            I am definitely going to have to check this out for my husband. His skin isn't as bad as it used to be, but he still seems to go through spells where it flairs up.
