I love make-up :)

It’s funny, since I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, I haven’t worn it very often… But I have so much pretty stuff! So, as part of the No More Frump Mom Challenge, I’ve started actually putting a bit of make-up on every day again… And seriously, what a difference it makes in my day!

Honestly, it might sound super-vain, but it’s so much nicer to catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, with rosy cheeks and full lashes, the the tired face I’ve been looking at the past few months.

I may not actually BE well rested, probably not until my child is 18. But a bit of pretty make-up can make me APPEAR to be, well, if not well-rested, at least not exhausted-looking! :)

Who else is excited about this triple-bonus-cash-back deal?? {It’s only until August 14th!}

{Rafflecopter Giveaway} Win a Pair of Kneekers!

Are these super cute, or what?

Kneekers® - Lime Fizz

Introducing Kneekers!

Ah Goo Baby calls these, “Knee-shoes for your little crawler!” So cute, right? I used these for the first time about a month ago, and they are SUCH a great idea!

Crawling = Banged up Baby Knees!

My little one was just learning to take her first few steps when we started using the Kneekers, but crawling was still her main form of transportation. It’s summer, so she spends all day with her little chunky legs bare, and they were getting a bit roughed up from crawling on the hard tile in the kitchen, scratchy old rugs in the living room, and hard pavement of our patio. So I was super excited to get these and protect those chubby baby knees! {speaking of chubby legs- Ah Goo Baby will be coming out with a new “Chunkalicious style of Kneeker, for babies with bigger thighs, sometime soon. I’ll keep you posted.}

From Crawling to Walking…

Now that she is walking more, the Kneekers are still super helpful! She is getting pretty fast, but isn’t all that steady on her feet. {You know, that drunken-sailor-baby-walk? That’s her.} But as long as she’s got her Kneekers on, she’s got at least a little cushion when she falls down. Plus, sometimes walking is too much work, and she’ll use that lighting-baby crawl to get to what she wants as fast as possible, before mommy can catch her. She thinks this is pretty funny :)

{Use the exclusive code: SIPPY930, for 15% OFF your purchase at checkout!}

A few fun facts:

  • Durable, machine washable and dryer safe. {They look great even after repeated washing.}
  • BPA Free. {This is extremely important to me in baby products.}
  • Prevents carpet burns and scrapes while crawling. {Works great!}
  • Protects delicate knees from falls while learning to stand and walk.
  • Affordably priced at only $12.95 for your baby or as a gift to a friend’s! {Super great value, and you’ll use them a TON.}
  • A fun accessory your baby will love! {Seriously adorable. Everyone asks where we got them.}

Win a set for YOUR baby!

The wonderfully generous folks over at Ah Goo Baby are giving one of YOU a FREE pair of Kneekers to protect your baby too!

{Disclaimer: I was provided a free pair of Kneekers from Ah Goo Baby to review, but as always, the opinions in the review are 100% my own. I only speak the truth to you ladies :)}

Love it: Blue Sky Scrubs!

blue sky-medical scrubs and nursing uniforms

Check out a new FAVORITE: Blue Sky Scrubs!

So, I’m not a nurse, so why am I exciting about a company that makes scrubs? Well, there are a few reasons:

  • 1. I have many friends who are nurses, who will LOVE this stuff. It’s so hard to find anything stylish and modern to wear in the nursing field, and this stuff rocks.
  • 2. They have the most adorable little baby scrub sets I’ve ever seen… This would be SUCH a cute baby shower gift! Baby Layette Scrub Sets.
  • 3. I would totally rock these as super comfy lounge clothes! I do a lot of painting, so I’d love to get one of these: Poppy Hats that they show on their Facebook page. Love ’em. I’d also wear these: Urban Scrub Pants, with the new low rise. Comfy looking, right?

Head over and check out the rest of the Nursing Scrub Uniforms for women choices {I can’t believe how trendy they make scrubs look in this photo!} or search by category on their main page, http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/

What do you think?

Would you wear these outside of a medical office? Am I weird that I LOVE these as lounge clothes?? Do you want to rush over like I did, and sign up for their Email Newsletter Updates, to get sales and discount info? Share you opinions in the comments…

{Rafflecopter Giveaway} Win a Plush Pad from Ah Goo Baby

Meet one of my Favorite Baby Companies: Ah Goo Baby!

One of my very first baby purchases was the Plush Pad Ah Goo Baby. I’ve told you guys before that I was quite overwhelmed when I first attempted to start the baby shopping… My oh my! There were so many choices, everything was so adorable, and everything was marketed as a “must have” item! How would I ever figure out what we really needed, so I could buy the best for my baby girl on my very limited budget?

More about Ah Goo Baby:

“Ah Goo Baby® creates unique and upscale, yet affordable products that gear toward the ultimate comfort for infants, toddlers and their caregivers. Providing a high level of utility and quality assurance, our products have become the “must-have” items for both new and experienced parents.

Ah Goo Baby® prides itself in creating solutions that resolve those daily frustrations and voids in the way we change, feed, dress, bathe, rest, and play with our children – both in the home and on-the-go.”

Loads of Research…

I was still working on finishing my degree when I found out I was pregnant, and I took on the baby-shopping project with as much effort and research as I did my term papers! {This was just as much work, honestly, but so much more fun of course.}

I read loads of online reviews, tons of those “Top 10 Products Every New Mom Needs”, and most importantly, asked my best friends and family for advice.

Smart Shopping

A year later, I can look back and say that I really did buy “just enough”. We had everything that we needed, and there is nothing that we bought for baby that we didn’t use. So, this momma did a good job :)

{Use the exclusive Sunshine and Sippy Cups Coupon Code- SIPPY930- to save 15% off on the Plush Pad or other amazing Ah Goo Baby products!}

The Plush Pad…

We didn’t have an extra bedroom when the baby was on the way, so I decided to overhaul my bedroom, to make it a really beautiful and cozy place for baby and I. {I figured between feeding, rocking, and sleeping, we’d be spending a lot of time in there, so I’d better make it a nice place to hang out.} I didn’t have room to add a changing table, which I was bummed about. But truly, we really didn’t need one!

Changing Station…

Since we wouldn’t have the traditional changing table, I chose to set up my own “Changing Station” as an alternative. I bought a diaper stacker bag to hang on the side of the baby’s crib, a super cute little shelf with three little gingham lined baskets for supplies like baby powder and wipes, and the Plush Pad by Ah Goo Baby. The Plush Pad is so darn cute, it sits right on top of the shelf, and adds a pop of color to the room. When it’s changing time, I just lay the pad down on the bed, then settle baby down on the soft and cozy memory foam cushion. {the pad feels soft and plush, but is still waterproof!} Such a great option for anyone who is short on space!

A Few Facts:

  • There are portable vinyl and plastic pads available in all sorts of gimmicky shapes or that come in your diaper bag as a freebie, but they are all still cold, hard, and meant to be wiped down with a sponge.  The Plush Pad® is soft, warm, water-repellent and machine washable!
  • The Plush Pad® is now used by a growing list of celeb parents – including Jessica Alba, Naomi Watts, Rebecca Romjin, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Dempsey, Allison Sweeney, Jenna Elfman, Marcia Cross, Amanda Peet, Jason Priestly, Jamie Pressley, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and the list goes on.
  • This mom-invented product {the best products are always mom-invented, aren’t they?} incorporates a lush memory foam cushion, providing superior comfort and support for baby while still enabling ultimate portability for the on-the-go parent with a patented rolling design.
Win one for YOUR baby!

One lucky winner will get to choose their own pattern and design, and win one free Plush Pad for their little one, from Ah Goo Baby!

{Disclaimer: Ah Goo Baby is sponsoring this giveaway, but all opinions are, as always, 100% my own. We already owned a Plush Pad, and used our experience with it over the past year to write this review. I received no compensation.}
