Win Three Halloween BabyLegs!
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW OVER!
The winner is:Sandy
It is fall and we are all getting ready for Halloween!! Us Mommies love to keep our little ones nice and toasty so it was such a treat when BabyLegs sent us three a pair of the new Halloween leg warmers. All are very cute, the Witch is purple and black stripes, Itsy Bitsy are black with white spiders and the punkins, well are orange and look like little jack-o-lanterns. They are adorable!
BabyLegs look adorable on all kids, from infants to big kids. We love putting them on our girls when they are wearing skirts.
Amanda & Kristin have their girls wear them during Ballet class.
Christine has put them on baby Noah to keep his little legs warm.
Nicole Donnelly, then a stay-at-home mom, created BabyLegs to keep her dear
daughter, Sara’s, little legs warm, while she was diaper free to allow bad
rashes to heal. This impromptu invention not only allowed Sara’s rash to heal,
but also protected her from many elements, made diaper changes quick and easy,
kept her knees protected while crawling, and provided sun protection. Beyond all
of these benefits, the leg warmers were also very fashionable. After numerous
inquiries from other moms about where Donnelly found the little leg warmers, she
began selling her invention out of a diaper bag, and the popularity of BabyLegs
spread quickly throughout the community. BabyLegs can now be found in over 50
countries from Israel to Chile to Iceland. That is our rash to riches story – we
hope you enjoy our sweet BabyLegs.
WIN:
A three apck of Halloween baby Legs. Punkin, Itsy Bitsy, and Witch
ENTER:
come up with your Favorite Costume incorporating a pair of your favorite BabyLegs Design (does not have to be one of the three featured)
This giveaway will end on October 24th
In time for the Holidays Giveaway

Winner will be announced!
We know that most people still send Christmas Cards the old fashion way... snail mail! Us Mommies still do. There is nothing better then receiving cards from those we love.
We would love to share with you some of the neatest personalized stamps we have ever seen.
Mary and her 3 kids (ages 11, 10, and 10) collaborate together on a web gallery, Karate Kat Graphics. The kids provide original artwork, and she builds it into playful but polished products for all ages, baby through adult and family. They give half of every dollar earned to children's charities--in 2008, to Save the Children.
Their products are special, affordable, and in many cases customizable. They range from Ts and aprons to cards and stickers to custom Keds. Their bestselling product type, and probably their favorite to design, is custom postage.
Karate Kat has postage designs for every occasion. They make great gifts, too. Browse the gallery and save $2/sheet when you buy 2 or more sheets of stamps. Mix and match designs if you like. Purchase 3+ sheets and get free shipping with promo code FREESHIPPOST, in addition to the $2/sheet discount!

Project Pink and Munchkin
From now through the end of October, Munchkin is playing a small part in helping moms focus on their own health by putting a spotlight on breast cancer prevention. Project Pink is a program that raises money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and reminds moms, “don’t duck a breast exam.” So whether you buy a pink duck or simply spread the word, you can help moms stay healthy so they can get back to being great parents.
Here are some ways you can be a part of this campaign:
Each of us Mommies received some fabulous products from Munchkin along with one of the Pink Ducks. We all really enjoyed the fabulous products. We have all been fans of Munchkin products and were so eager to try out some new items.
A few items we all agree are a must is the DIAPER DUCK™ TRAVEL BUDDY™ DISPENSER
This diaper bag dispenser is going places.
Seriously, how many times have you been in public and had a blow out diaper and not have a baggie to stick it in? We don't like stinking up a bathroom with these stinky messes, so having a baggie to throw them in is just a little cleaner and less stinky. Why rummage through a diaper bag for your dirty diaper holders. The adorable Diaper Duck™ fits in your bag and is easy to spot. They’re also great to keep in the car and in your stroller pocket for when you’re out. It’s compact with easy-tear bags that have a fresh baby powder scent. There’s even a rewind feature to keep little hands from unroll the bags. Just use and toss. Moms think the product is just ducky!
Also for those babies who like music and lights, then check out the Voice Activated Crib Light. Now the light of your life has a better way to be lulled back to sleep. Soothing womb sounds and 3 colored lights cycle on for 10 minutes the moment it hears your baby cry. They’re the perfect combination to ease your baby into slumber-land…which means you can get back to sleep, too.. And the lights are just the right brightness for nighttime checking or diaper changing. We call it a crib light… but you’ll call it a small miracle.
There are many fabulous Munchkin products out there. You can find them at your local grocery store, and stores like Target and Walmart.
