CSN

I think by now you all know that I love to shop at CSN Stores.  They have just about everything that you can want!   The only problem is- you go looking for one thing, and they have so many awesome things, that you end up getting more then you had thought you would!  🙂  However, when you shop with them, you are often emailed codes for coupons, free shipping, percentages off, etc- so, it’s not really a bad thing!  🙂 
As you know, we just re-did Little Man’s bedroom.  Spring time is a great time to redecorate!  I know that right now, CSN has some great options ans prices on office desks for anyone who is also in a redecorating mood!  

With the great prices, options, and availability of so many products, I know CSN.com will be a favorite of yours, too  🙂

Jumbies- Review and Contest

We recently received 2 Jumbies to review, Tyramasaurus and Zelephant. Jumbies are animals that were involved in a mix up by some very busy and disheveled storks.  Now that these Jumbies are here- they need homes!  Does anyone have a home for a cute little Jumbie or two?

A Jumbies Story
 
There were more babies being born than ever before.
The storks had to deliver them from shore to shore
There was so much to do they had little time for rest.
They flew to America, Europe, Antarctica and down under.
They went to Africa and Asia trying not to blunder.
It began to get very confusing on where they had to go.
Some storks turned left when they should have turned right.
Some storks flew all day when they should have flown at night.
Then in began to happen in a flash! One by one they started to CRASH!!
The babies were fine but the storks did not know what to say.
When the storks crashed and tumbled, it appeared all the animal babies were jumbled!
The storks could not believe their eyes. These babies were quite a surprise
So they called them JUMBiES
And  they became a new breed! 



My Little Man really enjoys these.  They have been compared to Beanie Babies- but they don’t really seem like Beanie Babies to me.   I think Jumbies are their own thing.  They are cute, palm-sized toys, and they are collectible, but that is where it ends.  They are also interesting, because they are all “jumbled up”.  And what kid doesn’t love a silly toy?
One lucky reader will win 2 Jumbies to add to or start a collection.
Here is how to enter!

My Name is Not Alexander (Review)

My Name Is Not Alexander
About the Author:

Jennifer Fosberry is a science geek turned children’s book writer and author of the New York Times Bestseller My Name Is Not Isabella. After working in the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley and running away to Costa Rica for a few years, she returned to the San Francisco Bay area to read, write, raise kids, and not do too much housework. She lives with her husband and three children and wishes for a puppy.
This is a cute story about a young boy who takes an imaginary journey through history, pretending to be some of the great leaders who helped shape the world.  An interaction between a boy and his father, Alexander tells Daddy (and reminds him often!)  That his name is NOT Alexander, and he is indeed these larger-then-life men who influenced others and made history.  Daddy takes it all in stride, and goes right along with it.  In the end, he finds that his true hero is very close to home.

Just How Big Can a Little kid Dream?
Who is your hero?
Alexander takes a rip-roaring historical adventure! Through his imaginative journey, Alexander discovers how great men become heroes: the roughest rider can be surprisingly gentle, a strong leader is also the most peaceful, and sometimes, being brave about what makes you different will not only help you break records, but inspire others.
Join Alexander as he learns how these remarkable men changed the world and encouraged him to find the hero within himself.

The illustrations are beautiful and  in depth- they have layers!  Take a good look at them, and see that they have many details to be discovered.  Spend some time with the pages, not just with the words, and you will be pleasantly surprised  🙂
Alexander’s journey teaches us about the men he becomes, and there is “fun facts” about each of them as well.

The author is still on her My Name Is Not Alexander book tour, and these are the ones that are yet to pass!

ecomom Review and Contest!

Sweet dreams!  So, since we have already talked about fabulous beds, bedding, books, and stuffed animals, I feel like we are still missing something….AH!  I know.  A very important part of the bedtime routine!  Bathtime!  Who wants to go to bed dirty?  Not I!  (And not my Little Man, haha.)

Little Man helping me get the tub ready for his bath!

I really like ecomom.  It’s a really great place to find all sorts of organic, natural, safe for mom and baby products.  They have art products, books, toys, music, food, bath, beauty, home- just about everything you could want or need.
ecomom really stands behind it’s products, and has great integrity.  They really care about their products, their clients, and the world.  ecomom has a charity that they partner with, Healthy Child Healthy World, that  promotes healthy and safe living, prevents harm, from chemicals and toxins, and helps parents help their children have the healthiest and happiest life.

ecomom is about bridging the gap between making healthy choices and making easy choices. We created ecomom because we care and are concerned for babies and their moms, our families and our communities. We want every mom to be an ecomom because being an ecomom means making choices that are good for all of us, and the planet which we all share.”

ecomom also has really great “ecomom approved” icons  to help you quickly and easily view and figure out what you and your family will want, and how the product was made, as well as what it does (or doesn’t!) contain.
Of course, all the products they carry are “ecomom approved”, but the icons make it easy to see why.  For example, was it recycled?  Is it organic?  Sustainable?  Fair Trade?  Just look at the icons, and it’s easy to see. 

To help get my Little Man ready for bed, ecomom thought that the Episencial Sweet Dreams Bubble Bath would be a perfect fit! Made with organic lavender oil, it is sure to help him get a good night’s rest.  A fun way to end the day.  This bubble bath is also good for the planet, and of course good for your little one.  Some of the ways that it is ecomom approved include cruelty free, toxin free, organic, and fair trade.  Gotta love those icons!
We also received “The Prince’s Bedtime” one of the great books that ecomom carries.   This story was about a little price who just couldn’t get to sleep- and the kingdom tried everything!  Well, almost…
ecomom carries some fun and unique books, that will enrich your child and invite them into a whole wide world that we are not exposed to on a regular basis, and into cultures and events that we don’t know.  Get your child curious about the world around them- and beyond!

ecomom has graciously offered one of Have Sippy Will Travel’s readers a 15$ gift certificate to their store.  If you want it to be you, here is how to enter!
