One More Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest: July 2011

Monday, July 25, 2011

It's really happening....

I am having a little bit of a break down, I can't believe that this time is almost here. My little girl, my first baby is starting school this fall. We have her in summer camp for a week (which I won off of another mommy blog, yay for winning) and I was aware that this week of summer school would give us all a taste of her being "at school" during the day, so we could get a routine down. We are due to sign her up for school on Friday, which I am still in denial about AND tax free weekend is coming up next week, which I felt was a little early, UNTIL I came across the start date for school. I only have 2.5 weeks..... really?? 2.5 weeks. I am not ok. Something I have felt was due long ago, is now almost here and I am totally freaking out. My BABY GIRL!!! my baby girl is starting SCHOOL!! This isn't daycare, this is the beginning of the 12 + years she will be in school, the years she hates me... loves me... has her first real fights with friends... her crushes.. I am crying just writing this.

Bumble Britches Crib Shoes Review & Giveaway!

When I had my little girls, I couldn't wait to get them their first pair of shoes, especially my first daughter who is a winter baby. When I found out the due date of my nephew to be, I knew I had to find him some adorable crib shoes to cover his little piggies. Which brings me to Bumble Britches. She makes these adorable creations that are even more adorable in person, I have said that before, but I really can't describe the quality of these little crib shoes. They are very sturdy, with soft soles and a wool lining, they are Perfect!! I can not wait to see them on the new little guy. Check out some of Bumble Britches other crib shoe creations.

(pssst... they can be made in ANY fabric, just tell her what you are looking for and she is awesome at finding just the right thing)

Sock Monkey?? so cute!

I am happy to announce that Kael&Kaed is a sponsor for this great diaper event. Kael&Kaed makes adorable, reusable snackbags, snack/toy/klean kanteen leashes, pant saver clip belts AND wetbags, plus even more!

As a cloth diapering mommy, I am always looking to find some really cute diapers and/or diaper covers. I came across The Operation (Bunzuke Cloth Diapers) on Facebook and fell in love with her adorable pocket diapers.

You have to go to her Facebook page and look under photos to see some of her amazing creations.

(When I can get my camera to work I will be posting a picture of my little one in her Bunzuke diaper, below is a picture of the same diaper she has, only hers is in pink and white. SO cute!)

When I first found out that my sister was having a boy, I knew she had to have a Tie Onesie, so I was on the lookout for the store offering several different styles, size, and most of all quality. I was thrilled when Pink Pinther came aboard for this review and giveaway. I didn't realize how adorable these little onesies really are until I received mine.

Gevalia Gourmet Coffee 1853 Heritage Blend Collection Review and Giveaway!

I am a Coffee LOVER! It is true...

However, I never drank coffee until I was at my grandmother in-laws house and she brewed up this amazingly awesomely, sweet, smooth blend of French Vanilla Coffee. Gevalia French Vanilla, I am forever a changed woman, I never knew coffee could be so great. I also have to tell you that I have a Tassimo and yes Gevalia makes T-Discs so I can enjoy my amazingly, awesomely, smooth coffee every day.

This brings me to

Gevalia "1853" Heritage Blend Coffee

Having a little one, I wish I had a Baby Dipper Bowl.

Paci-Catcher Review

When having this event, I knew I had to include Paci-Catcher. We can't leave the house unless we make sure we have our daughters "binky" and I can't stand the thought of it hitting the ground when she spits it out. So a Paci Catcher is a MUST!

The Paci-Catcher I chose to review is the Sophie Catcher

One More Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

I came across Tiny Tukus on Facebook and I have to tell you, their diapers stopped me in my tracks. I have yet to see another diaper with so many adorable custom applique designs on them. My favorite one is the pink diaper with a Minnie Mouse applique on the "tukus"

Here is an adorable picture (provided by Tiny Tukus)

of a little blue pocket diaper, with an orange truck on the tukus

Scentsy Warmer Review & Giveaway

I love Scentsy, and when I announced my, It's a BOY! event, Neeley Freeman was my first sponsor. I thought it was such an adorable idea to include this warmer into my giveaway, I mean, how perfect?? A candle, safe for children, an air freshener, and night light, perfect for any nursery. For this event, I chose the Newborn Nursery scent which smells like baby powder. *sigh* So sweet!

Eco Nuts Review

I have to admit, when I heard of Eco Nuts, I thought it sounded nuts. I heard raving reviews so I knew I had to test them out. I had a very soiled load of diapers to do, so it was perfect timing. I placed 5 Eco Nuts in the little bag, tied it up and tossed it into my washer instead of detergent and washed my diapers as usual.

Evenflo Snugli Front Carrier Review and Giveaway

I love being close to my little one, so I have always loved the idea of a baby carrier. I had one with my first, but it was so hard on my shoulders I rarely used it, ending up carrying her around on my hip. Now that my baby is getting older and weighs a little over 20 pounds it is getting that much harder to hold onto her.

I was thrilled when Evenflo offered to let me review the Snugli Soft carrier.
