I received the note cards and matching address labels. They are adorable! I was a little worried my last name would not fit on the label. But no worries Gina does a fantastic job! And the quality is outstanding!

"A love of doodling, a desire to create and a wish to make people smile. This is the makeup of a self proclaimed workaholic oozing with craftiness and brainchild behind A Touch of Whimsy Designs. Yep, that's me in a nutshell. Originally from Long Island, New York (pronounced Lawn Guyland for those not familiar with the accent) my expressive and entrepreneurial side took over and in 2004, A Touch of Whimsy Designs was born! It's been an adventure ever since and we now operate out of beautiful North Carolina. Apparently, you can take the girl out of New Yawk but not the accent out of the girl :)

Living in a house with 4 males, my husband and 3 boys, I seriously needed a way to express my feminine side which explains the many *girly* designs you'll see here. But no worries, I have the boys covered too! I'm very passionate about my work and want to create a fun and whimsical way to add a smile into someone's day. I hope my designs help you do just that! My customers are truly amazed at our super affordable prices given the high quality items they receive. I'm so proud to offer such items and love the wonderful feedback from my customers!

Eebee's Adventures Book Giveaway! Closed

One lucky reader will win 3 books from eebee's adventures!
Here is some information from eebee's site:

our philosophy

eebee's adventures are designed to engage you and your baby with rich play experiences that provide powerful lessons that memorizing letters, numbers, colors and shapes simply can and do not.

Watching and, importantly, “doing” eebee's adventures will allow you and your baby to see and learn first-hand what happens when you explore a crinkly, crunchy, smooth and bumpy paper mountain or roll, bounce, bop, bang, slide and toss your way around a world of balls and ramps.

We know that when your child is playing, she is actively trying to figure things out about objects and people—why did that ball roll and the block slide? How did he do that? Why did that happen?... The questions, theories and solutions just continue to evolve as your child develops and masters a myriad of critical physical, social and intellectual skills—playing and learning about how the world works and he works in it.

Every parent can recount a time when their infant headed straight for that curtain to give it a pull; or happily opted to tear the wrapping paper rather then engage with the gift; or tried and tried to get the round peg into the square hole; or simply offered you whatever was in their hand.

Babies will instinctively:

~Take initiative and act on their natural curiosity

~Make clear choices among different materials and experiences

~Vary their strategies and try different approaches

~Persist at a goal and stick to a task

~Share their discoveries and seek social interaction

These are the real basic skills of your baby's first years and these are the hallmarks of great thinkers and achievers. The research is clear that the best way for babies to grow and strengthen these skills—the skills they need to succeed in life—is to play.

snackTAXIs are easy too- really! They are made in our home-based workshop by talented (and fun!) local sewers- we are committed to keeping our business local, and will never outsource our labor. We hope you'll enjoy using snackTAXIs as much as we enjoy making them! "

Here is some information from Belli:

"Giving birth to your baby is so much more than a physical act. It's a life-altering experience, full of emotion, beauty and meaning. For expectant and new mothers, it's also a time of uncertainty, with a changing body, unique skin care issues, a new baby to care for, and heightened safety concerns.

At Belli, we support expectant and new mothers through this changing time by providing soothing, balanced skin products that pamper and protect. Our collections - Belli Pregnancy, Belli Motherhood and Belli Baby – address the specific needs of each stage, with thoughtful attention to the safest formulations.

Belli Pregnancy has set a higher standard for prenatal safety, as the only skin care line in the world that is teratology screened. We search through over 16 million medical research articles in over 5000 international journals, and use this information to exclude ingredients with even remote links to birth defects or other problems with pregnancy. Belli Motherhood is LactMed screened to avoid ingredients linked to harmful effects during breastfeeding. Belli Baby is screened for xenoestrogens—chemicals which can act like hormones that interfere with normal development of the reproductive system. So no matter which Belli products you use, you can have peace of mind erring on the side of caution.

Time Out Pad Giveaway Closed

One lucky reader will win a Time Out Pad from Keen Distribution!

The Time Out Pad is a really great thing to have especially when you need a little extra help with the time out process.

Here is some information on how it works:

"Simply set the built-in timer to the desired time-out duration (usually one minute per year of the child's age) and sit the child on the pressure sensitive pad.

If the child gets up before the end of the programmed time, an alarm sounds to alert the parent or caregiver, and the countdown will pause until the child sits back down.

Once the full time-out countdown has elapsed, the finish tune is played to let everyone know that the session has ended. The child should then apologize and be rewarded with a big hug!"
