{Butt Paste Giveaway!!!!}

I know I said I was going to post the next giveaway a week ago, but with Miss Paityn's first birthday planning and such, it just didnt happen.

Well here it is!!!
  
Bourdreaux's Butt Paste

Ok, so with two babies, I've tried it all!  I love to use different products to see what works best with my little ones.  This being said, I decided to try out some different stuff on P then I did with Mattie.  (Just to compare).
I wrote to the company that produces the Bourdreaux products, because what isn't cooler then the name Butt Paste?!?! and asked then if I could try out their product.
To my surprise they didn't just send me the original Butt Paste to try, but their WHOLE line!!!!  Boy was I excited, and blown away at all the other products they had.
I had NO IDEA they also made an ALL NATURAL form of the Butt Paste AND a Maximum Strength one!
The Rash Protector is wonderful, you can apply it during changes when you aren't using the Butt Paste to protect from future rashes.  Its great to use right before bed to help keep the moisture away from their little bums!
I also LOVE the Butt Bath (smells so yummy!), and Paityn loves the Baby Kisses Lip Balm.  You can use the Baby Kisses on cheeks too, which will be wonderful for the upcoming winter months.


This is what they sent us!!! (and what you can win too!)

One of my readers will receive ALL of this!!

Little Man's New Adventure

Since I decided that we will wait another year before putting Matthew into preschool, I thought it would be great to get him into something where he can at least socialize with some other kids his age. (We DO go to story time at the library most Tuesdays, but I wanted to get him involved in something new.)

My friend, Jessica, mentioned that there was a soccer league in Columbia and Windham, so I checked out their website and decided to sign him up.  Never playing soccer before, I didn't really know what to expect, but so far I'm happy with the way its going.  They have soccer Saturday mornings from 9-9:45am.

He's still a little apprehensive about the whole thing, but he IS getting better.  We played a game this past Saturday where the kids had to chase their parents or one of the coaches around pretending to be bumble bees and kick the ball at their feet to try and "sting" them. Matthew was cracking up at this! 

We also played body part soccer, where the kids had to stop the ball with a body part that the coach yelled out.  

Here are some pictures of Matthew playing soccer this past Saturday.

Pinterest

So if you have yet to check out Pinterest, I HIGHLY recommend it.  There are such great ideas, and products on there, and you can save them all (or Pin them) to your own individual boards.  This website is a really great idea.

Here is the first Pinterest project I completed, and I see many more in my future.


I love the way this came out. Its one of those 3D paper letters, wrapped with twine, with black satin ribbon for the bow and hanger, and three felt rosettes for decoration.  I used two different purple felts since our front door is purple.  

Here is my Pinterest page so you can follow me on there!

Glow Stick Bath Time

Last week we decided to try out some of the Pinterest projects.  Oh, why is that site so addictive?

The kids and I found 4 different glow stick colors and decided to do the bath in the dark one night.  THEY LOVED IT!!!!

Its amazing how much light these glow sticks put out even under water.  I highly recommend trying this out with your little ones as well.  

Here are some pictures from bath time.  This was a great $4 treat for the kids that we will be repeating at least once a month!

{Prefense Giveaway}

So a few weeks ago I wrote about a new product I was interested in finding out more about, it was called Prefense.  It is a hand sanitizer different from the rest.  I contacted Prefense and asked them if I could try out their product, and they agreed.  They also let me host this giveaway for a free bottle of their 8 oz. bottle for my readers.  
So, what did I think of the product??? I loved it! This product is amazing!  I tested it out on me and the kids and LOVE the way it doesn't dry out our hands!  With the winter months coming, I'm glad I can keep our hands protected from those nasty germs that are always around.  

Here are some of the reasons you might love it too!

•    No alcohol! Prefense is made of natural ingredients and has absolutely NO alcohol in it!
    •    Our technology protects you for 24 hours or 10 hand washings!
    •    Prefense is non-toxic and safe for kids! 
    •    Prefense is silica based which means it doesn’t dry out your hands like traditional alcohol sanitizers.  It actually smooths and softens your hands.
    •    Prefense protects against staph, strep, E.coli, drug resistant MRSA strains, and more. We fight germs that other hand sanitizers can’t.
    •    Because “one spray lasts all day” our 1.5 oz Prefense Foaming Hand Sanitizer offers 120 applications, costing only $.08 per day, compared to $1.20 per day with alcohol hand sanitizers.  



 Want to know how you can win a chance to try out Prefense for yourself?
