Looking for a fun, yet functional gift to give that special kid in your life?  Let me introduce you to Dabbawalla Bags! 

These adorable, easy to clean, and attractive lunchboxes and backpacks are specially designed for preschoolers and the young elementary students in mind.  I think they are fun for the young at heart, as well- my husband’s best friend really loves it!  The designs were meant to be free of commercial influence (cartoons or action figures, movie characters, etc) yet still colorful and fun for children.  They display bright and wholesome designs and images, such as puppies, apples, rocket ships, etc.  The Lunch Totes are really large, and have enough space to fit everything you need for a WHOLE DAY at Pre-School!  It is really hard to find a bag that will do that.

 Not only that, but they are made out of eco-sponge, an innovate neoprene-like fabric that has earned the top quality standard in textiles, as well as an ecological certification that tests for over 100 harmful substances.

DabbaWalla Backpack- the perfect size for your little guy (or girl!)

 The fabric is stain resistant and machine washable.  (Yes, you read that right!!!)  There are pockets on the inside to help keep an ice pack, water bottle, etc, separate.  And it is designed to help food stay at it’s desired temperature!
Dabbawalla Bags has a simple mission: design fun, functional bags that appeal to both kids and adults while promoting social responsibility. Their bags are crafted by sewers who earn fair wages in safe working conditions, and we do business with companies who support this commitment. They are designed in the USA and sewn in Taiwan using fair labor practices.  Since each bag is crafted, they each have their own special charm! 

 I love yoga.  I love sharing the joy and benefits of yoga with those around me.  I love my yoga classes.  I love how yoga makes me feel, and how it improves my body, mind, and mindset.  (Can you tell I like it a bit?)
I also love to do yoga with my kids and with my Pre-School class.  The director was a bit skeptical at first, but after a 3 day in a row rain session we had last year, she caved and let me do it.  And the result?  The kids loved it, and they SLEPT SO WELL AT NAPTIME, that she was amazed.  I had parents asking me for my “secret”, LOL.

Here are my EARLY MORNING kids last week- they begged to to the “Whale Yoga!”  again

 So when I had the opportunity to review “StoryLand Yoga”, by Playful Planet, I jumped at it!
Winner of the Parents Choice Award as well as the Dr. Toy Best Green Toy Award and “Preferred Choice” by  Creative Child Magazine as the sole winner in the “Environmentally Friendly” category, this unique and fun DVD features 2 tracks to choose from.
In Storyland Yoga,  children follow two unique stories (Save the Whale and Condor Trek,) and learn yoga poses by imitating animals and story elements, while receiving the aforementioned earth-friendly messages.    It is also getting overwhelming praise from families,  teachers and health professionals.”
We did “Save the Whale” first, and then had a great talk about what we can do to help the whales, and why conservation is important.  They are really “getting it”, kids are not “too young” for these important concepts.  This is their future, after all!  

 

Mind you, this is roughly 7:30 Am.  Look how happy they are!

Clothing for active kids!  Well, that’s basically all kids, so Agoo has got you covered!  Now you can use them to cover your kids, LOL…
They have cute and easy to care for clothes that are fun for kids to wear.  My Little Man was sent an adorable outfit to try out, and he loved it!  It is super soft, stretchy, and easy to clean.

 Skater Tee
This garment is perfect for those hot days outdoors. It is designed to keep your children cool while allowing them to look stylish. Skater styled print and the addition of double layer sleeves makes this a super cool modern top. Pair this garment up with Trinity or Playful Pants and under the Radar Jacket- no as skater top is the spring colors and radar is fall colors. and you have the complete Agoo ensemble.

This garment offer 50+ UV Protection that will never fade or diminish no matter how many times it is washed or exposed to salt water. It is Chlorine -Resistant for fun in the pool and has unique Wick-Away fibers that pull moisture and sweat from your child’s skin when they are playing to avoid over-heating. These fibers also dry quickly so your child does not get any chills from reaming damp, but instead is comfy and dry faster. For kids and moms alike, a unique stain resistant feature to helps keep the garment looking newer, longer.

Garments may be worn tight or loose fitting depending on what your child likes best. Consult our Agoo size chart for sizing.
At Agoo we care about your kids.

Tackle Short where is reflective piping?
Seldom does a pair of shorts come along that your toddler will want to wear day after day. This comfortable, easy fitting garment is a good representation of the Agoo philosophy. Wearable, fun, active and versatile, it is one of our staples, and is asked for time and time again. Toddlers love it for the ease and comfort, and moms love it for the – you guessed it – ease and comfort for their toddlers. Elastic waistband, clean design, relaxed fit. Comfortable and stylish flat elastic waistband, with contrast  paneling for a sporty, stylish look. These shorts go perfectly with the Tackle Tee Shirt which can be used with the Tackle Pants on those chillier days.

 Little Man just loved them!  (So did his mommy!)  I love that they have UV protection built right in, thanks for caring about our kids!  Little’s mommy is hyper-worried about sun-exposure, so this feature is a HUGE plus in my eyes!   As are the stain resistant and sweat wicking features.  It can even be work in the pool or ocean without damage- how many outfits can make THAT claim?

Agoo has offered to send one of my readers a set of their fantastic Bamboo Leggings! 
Fun and functional, made of high quality material (what else would you expect from Agoo?), and adorable!
“Our Agoo Bamboo Leggings are designed for little girls and boys on the move. Be it crawling, climbing, running or dancing, Agoo Bamboo Leggings offer protection with fabulous function and flare.

We love Crazy Dog T-Shirts!   There are several I have my eye on as gifts for the holidays….You know you have people who would LOVE these, and who really needs another tie?  LOL

 Quietest baby ever!  LOL….

 Ahhh, one for the grown-ups!
In the mornings, few things are as essential for many of us then our cup (cups?  many?)  of coffee.  Community Coffee has some really great products, and so many choices.  I am new to the coffee world- I’ve only been drinking coffee for about 6 months now.  I just can’t keep up anymore, LOL!

 I am still trying to figure out what I like and what I don’t so I really like trying out new flavors and roasts. 
Community Coffee, a Louisiana based company, sent me a few different kinds of coffees to try out.  French Vanilla, Red Cafe Special, and Breakfast Blend were the varieties that we got to try out.  I liked the French Vanilla best, while the hubby liked the Red Cafe Special.  We both liked Breakfast blend as well, but those were out favorites!  

Community Coffee Company is steeped in tradition as rich as our coffee. As the largest family-owned retail coffee brand in the U.S., our Company grew from a small country store in Baton Rouge where more than 90 years ago, founder Henry Norman “Cap” Saurage brewed his popular coffee.
The coffee became so popular that he named it “Community” in honor of his loyal friends and customers. Cap eventually turned his attention away from the grocery store and devoted all of his time and energy to making great coffee.
Today, Community Coffee Company is so much a part of people’s lives and spans so many generations that it has been dubbed the State Coffee of Louisiana™. We invite you to enjoy this family tradition and experience a little bit of Louisiana in every cup.

 Community Coffee  has a really cool Military Match program, where if you buy 4 bags of 16 oz. Dark Roast coffee, and they match 4 more FREE! This is part of the Military Match Gift Box Program.  Yay for companies that give back!
They have some really great gift sets for the holidays as well. 

And they even have a really great giveaway for you! 
One lucky winner will receive French Vanilla, Breakfast Blend, and Red Cafe Special to try out for themselves!
