Anyone with kids knows that they are always playing and in motion. When I am out and about that drives this “germaphob” momma insane. I hate knowing that my kids want to play and not knowing what might have been on that floor previously. The Posh Play Mat is the perfect item for Momma’s like me to use.

About Posh Play:

Posh Play was started by 2 moms. They each were looking for some sort of portable blankets that were easy to use on the go and gave the kids a surface to play on.

One of the moms started by ironing vinyl onto fabric in her kitchen, and seven years – and dozens of prototypes later – the Posh Play Mat was Born.

The final product is everything that she was looking for and more — functional, portable, wipeable, and beautiful.

All Posh Play products are PVC free and have been designed by a mom, with detailed attention to style, function, durability, quality, and safety for your child. They are completely wipeable and completely cool.

Thanksgiving is well in the past and turkeys across the country are breathing a sigh of relief. This relief will last a few months, and as such- why not look at a movie about our delicious feathered friends (turkeys) with the movie Free Birds.

We love to read in this family. I can’t even tell you how many books we read each day. We are always looking for new fun books to add to our collection. I must admit to you that I have been very impressed with How Hippo Says Hello and How Gator Says Good-Bye.

About “How Hippo Says Hello”:

Friendly Hippo takes a trip around the world to seven different countries, and everywhere he goes, her cheerily greets people in their native language.

You child will have a lot of fun trying out these simple foreign words.

How many ways can Gator say “good-bye”? Find out, as he travels from China, Japan, and India, to Egypt, Russia, and France, and finally to Argentina and back home again to San Francisco. It’s hard to leave friends, but learning how to bid someone farewell in seven different languages is easy.

With all the stresses of having a new baby, finding the perfect place for them to sleep, and worrying about all the what if’s is always on your mind. The makers of Lifenest Sleep System have done a great job taking one of your worries away.

About LifeNest:

LifeNest was created by a pediatric doctor for use in hospitals and homes, the Lifenest Sleep System helps prevent Flat Head syndrome. A baby’s head is delicate and head flattening can occur during the first three months of life – when the baby’s skull is still malleable. The risk of babies developing a flat head increases especially if they lay most of the time on a firm baby bed mattress and today, doctors say that one in two babies show signs of Plagiocephaly or Flat Head Syndrome.

The LifeNest uses the properties of a hammock with netting built into the mattress, Lifenest reduces pressure on the head by nearly 50%. The netting also would allow a baby to breathe freely through the netting if they were to accidentally roll over. There is a mesh fabric with venting channels. A baby could breathe straight through the netting, which would help reduce the risk of suffocation.

WIN Give Your Closet a Wink of Pink with Kohl’s

February 15, 2014 by Samantha 86 Comments

Khol’s is one of my favorite places to shop. It’s so easy to stop by the local department store and shop for my husband, son, and myself all at the same time. The prices and varieties are great, and there are often great sales going on as well. (Right now in my local store, there is a %70 off sale going on, so you can bet I was there this week! In addition, you get $10 Khol’s Cash for every $50 you spend- an even bigger savings.) I bought 2 new skirts, a sweater, and a pair of capris and none of them cost more then $20. I was pretty thrilled with my finds, my own wardrobe was in need of refreshing. Like many moms, I am always picking up things for my son and family, and not usually myself. This trip was for me!

AURORA’S VALENTINE’S DAY GIFTS

February 13, 2014 by Samantha 8 Comments

Looking for something adorable to give your love this Valentine’s Day? My son and I both adore stuffed animals, and so do many women and kids- so you know that these will be a hit for many on your list. Try as I might, I still love a sweet stuffed animal. I don’t get many for myself anymore, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like them or wouldn’t love one as a gift now and again 🙂

Aurora World, Inc. (www.auroragift.com) has more than 140 products for Valentine’s Day catalog. Highlights of Aurora’s Valentine’s Day catalog include fresh characters and exciting variations of popular lines and licenses including Pink Promise Elephant, YooHoo & Friends™, Butterball Bear, Sad Sam & Honey® and a 2,400 piece, special edition Raggedy Ann® named “Sweet Dove.”

Pink Promise: The lovable elephant is fashioned with super soft-tipped, two tone fabric and has playful heart prints in its oversized ears. Pink Promise is available in four huggable sizes (10.5”, 12”, 14”; 22”, SRP: $20, $24, $33 and $72 respectively). My son loves his sweet pachyderm, who is super soft and snugly. It’s uber plush fur and floppy ears are cuddly and fun to play with or take to bed at night (or pass out on the couch with while watching a movie on a snow day, LOL). Also, it can go “on parade” with the pink elephants of Dumbo, which of course did not escape my son’s mind 🙂

YooHoo & Friends™: Luvee™, an endangered chimpanzee, joins Aurora’s best selling plush line (more than 23 million sold) as a three-color assortment. Luvee hugs a slightly askew heart, each with a different message including “Love U”, “Be Mine” and “XOXO!” Each makes a “smooch” sound when squeezed (5”, SRP: $9). They make a “kissing” sound when you hug their bellies, and have adorable expressions and large eyes. YooHoo are a lot of fun to collect as well, and come in a wide assortment of creatures and colors. These are great for a collector or way to start your collection, and are very affordable. My son loves this line, and has since he was very young.
