MyBlogSpark: Seventh Generation Free & Clear Diapers Review and Giveaway with Dr. Seuss´s The Lorax

I have seen Seventh Generation products online and wondered 
about them for myself so I was excited at the chance to 
review a pack of their Free and Clear Diapers. We have 
been using them for a week now and have absolutely no
complaints. "K" stays dry in between diaper changes
(after a previous week of many leaks!) and the stretchy tabs 
on them are great! I also love the great fit and other benifits
like the fact that they are free of chlorine processing, free of
fragrances and latex and have no petroleum based lotions.
 "K" can move and play and the diaper stays put without 
gaping and giving leaks a chance. My kids are excited to 
see the new movie The Lorax so it was a fun combination 
to have it as the theme and character of these diapers and
the fun book they included as well.
Here is some additional information provided to me from
MyBlogSpark on this Seventh Generation Product as well.

"In partnership with Universal Studios’ motion picture debut of Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax* also known as the “Speaker for the Trees” who brings environmental truth and ecological hope to all, Seventh Generation will feature limited edition Lorax prints on all our diapers and training pants.  These prints are intended to remind parents and caregivers of the lessons of The Lorax,The Lorax as you read about his legacy and messages of sustainability with your child, and inspire a new generation of environmentalists starting with your family! and encourage family reading and environmental awareness while creating a few smiles.  Discover (or rediscover) Dr. Suess’
The Seventh Generation family of Free & Clear baby products continues to deliver on your needs as it expands in March, with the addition of NEW Overnight Diapers. Moreover, Free & Clear diapers have been redesigned with new, improved tabs for better fit while Free and Clear training pants now have an absorbent core that is made with more renewable materials.

  • NEW Overnight Diapers are absorbent enough to keep your baby and bedding dry through the night or during prolonged travel

  • Free & Clear training pants have an absorbent core made with more renewable, plant-based materials.  They also feature stretchy, tear away side panels for a better fit and added convenience, as well as inner leak barriers for superior leakage protection

BlogSpark: Perrigo Nutritionals Review & Giveaway

Three of my older children basically weaned themselves from nursing between 5-6 months old. I hated the fact that I had to purchase formula when nursing cost nothing and gave them the nutrition they needed so I fought it for a long time and stressed over them not wanting to nurse and finally gave in. Once I did I was okay with it but with a small income and being a stay at home mom it was an additional expense I had not planned on. After looking into the many kinds of formulas, reading the labels and comparing ingredients we felt like the store brands were just as healthy and so similar to the more expensive popular brands available so we chose to use store brand formulas and were happy with the cost and quality and never worried about it not being a name brand that many of our friends and neighbors used. While "K" only takes formula a few times a week I feel completely comfortable giving him Perrigo Nutritionals store brand infant formulas and even more so love the fact that it is so much less! I was excited when I was contacted by BlogSpark to help spread the word on Perrigo Nutritionals and give Targets UP and UP formula a try and visit their website. Guess what.. you can even print store brand $5.00 coupons there too!
"K" Seems to enjoy it just as much as any other formula!

"As a new mom, you want the best when it comes to your baby
 and strive to make smart decisions when purchasing necessities. 
With so many options available, it´s natural to feel overwhelmed and
 anxious. However, when it comes to feeding your little one you don´t 
have to look any further than Perrigo Nutritionals store brand infant formulas." 

A recent study* shows that only 30% of moms are willing to buy 
store brand products for their babies, but did you know that all
 infant formulas made in the United States must provide complete
 nutrition for growing babies and meet FDA requirements for safety, 
nutrition, and quality? In fact, store brand infant formulas are 
nutritionally equivalent to similar national formula brands such
as Enfamil or Similac, but cost half the price, which can save you
about $600 a year. Outlined below are intriguing statistics generated
 from a recent study* conducted among new moms like yourself:
  • Baby-related advertisements strike an emotional chord with moms - 
nearly one in four feel overwhelmed (23%) and one in five feel anxious (20%) or confused (20%)
  • 53% of moms admit thoughts of their baby product budget plague them on a daily basis
  • 37% of moms feel guilty if they cannot afford a specific product for their babies
  • Moms are willing to purchase store brand over the counter medicine for their baby (42%) and store brand pharmaceuticals (44%), but only 21% of moms are willing to buy store brand infant formula.
Perrigo Nutritionals store brand infant formulas, available at
retailers, such as Walmart (Parent´s Choice), Target (Up & Up), 
Kroger (Comforts) and Sam´s Club (Simply Right), adhere to 
the highest quality standards, so you can feel confident that you
 have made a smart choice for your baby and save money for
 the family. But you don´t have to take our word for it, click
 here to hear about the benefits of store brand formula from
 one of the country´s leading pediatricians, Dr. Jennifer Trachtenberg.
*All results are taken from the Perrigo Nutritionals "Brand" New Mom Study

Temple Touch Thermometer Review & Giveaway

There is nothing worse than a sick child that leaves you
up all night worrying and watching their every move but 
in those times of no sleep and stressful days you can be 
thankful for products to help make those times a little
easier. One of those products I am currently loving

When your little one doesn't feel well you hate to 
wake them while taking their temperature because 
we know they need that much needed rest to get
back on the road to recovery and feeling well again. 
you can quickly check your little ones temperature
while they sleep away. Six quick seconds is all you 
need and you can get back to sleep faster knowing 
your little ones temperature is under control.
Thirty years ago moms only had mercury thermometers 
to measure the temperatures of their children. In the 1980's
they were replaced with a much safer and easier digital
thermometer. Thanks to rapid advancements in today's 
technology we now have some great options for easy 
ways to take your childs temperature. Some are over
priced and not as reliable as we would like them to be 
and some leave you wondering if they are really keeping
your child's temperature where it really is.
The Temple Touch Premium Thermometer aims to set the 
new standard in fever measurement and is quickly becoming
the thermometer of choice for many moms because its more
accurate, non-invasive and economical. Right now there have
been over 1,000,000 sold (currently one every minute in the U.S.)
and is available nationwide. Its easy to use when your child is 
awake or asleep, give you an accurate readout in 6-7 seconds
and has a memory recall as well. Many great features also include
the large backlight display and fever alerts where it will turn red
when a fever is detected.
 Use for underarm as well as temple readings. 
 Memory Recall and Over Dose Protection timer to alert you 
when its safe to give the next dose of medicine if needed.
 Simple to operate and offers Celsius and Fahrenheit readings.
Meets ASTM Accuracy requirements as well as clinically validated accuracy.

Its great for the wiggly little ones who hate to sit still for more
than a few seconds. In 6-7 seconds you know if its a fever or
not. Need to try again..wait a few minutes to give it time to get
back to room temperature and the hour glass will show on the
screen. You are ready to go after the hour glass disappears 
and you hear the two ready beeps.
 Only Temple Touch Premium Thermometers are powered by R.A.T.E. 
Technology and Medisim is the first and only company to bring this
technology to the U.S. market.

What do you think of the new technology?
We think its great and such a huge helper for moms!

A little about R.A.T.E. Technology from their website: 


R.A.T.E. Technology is the patented technology that powers only and all TempleTouch thermometers.  It stands for rapid, accurate, temperature and establishment. The R.A.T.E. technology is found in the sensors of TempleTouch thermometers, and is what allows the device to take non-invasive, instant and accurate temperature measurements.
So, what is R.A.T.E. technology?So, how does it work?  R.A.T.E. actually
calculates the heat flow from the blood 
vessels to the skin surface.  As a result,
this cuts out the need for a long measurement
process, since there is no time barrier to 
overcome. Other types of thermometers can be
easily affected by ambient conditions, like room 
temperature.  R.A.T.E. is not. 
Nor does our technology make any assumptions,
like common digital ones tend to do.
Calculations for every measurement take all parameters influencing the temperature into consideration thus giving you the most reliable measurement.
R.A.T.E. technology is clinically accurate and is trusted in hospitals over the globe.

*We were sent a Temple Touch Thermometer for review only but all opinions are my own. I was also sent information included above about the company and product. Thank you!

The NEW All-In-One bINK'd Purse Set Review and Giveaway


Everything you need to apply bINK'd is now in one place!
 bINK’d ‘All-in-One Purse’ includes one applicator pen, 
child safe scissors, and two bINK’d design containers 
(12 pairs of bINK’d earrings) all put together in one neat
carrying storage purse. Customers can choose which two
(2) earring design containers they wish to purchase with
their kit, including ‘glitter’ and ‘glow’ designs, for a
combined price of $18.95.

The purse size is great with plenty
of room to keep adding more
of your favorite bINK'd designs
and keep them all together in 
one easy to grab place. With 
so many cute designs you are 
sure to gather quite the collection
to coordinate with outfits or
holiday themes for any child.
We recently added these three
(shown above) to our collection 
and the girls were super excited to also receive the Owl and Strawberry 
with the kit we were sent to review. The colors of the Owl are adorable and its 
super cute. The Strawberry definitely is a sweet design as well and "H" couldn't
wait to put some on her nails!
 

and of course she quickly put on a pair of earrings too. 
The Sparkly ice cream cone was her pick of choice
this time and she loves the way they glitter and shine. 
as soon as she walked in the door from the bus she couldn't
wait to tell me all about the comments she got and how much
all her friends loved them. They all seemed to notice them and
thought they were super cute and pretty cool too!

We have been extremely happy with all the bINK'd products
we have been lucky to review as well as purchase. We love the
quick and easy way to give "H" a chance to have earrings like
her friends and still look super cute. We love the millions of
other ideas you can also use them for. The girls love to place them
next to their eyes now and then or make a bracelet or anklet
out of them as well. (I should get pictures when they do them again)
We keep a bottle of clear top coat polish in the bag as well to
make it easy to add the cute designs to their finger and toe nails too.
Perfect for gift ideas for friends or your little Valentine. Check out the
bINK'd website to see the great selection of designs!

“The ‘All-in-one purse set’ now makes it even easier to achieve the look of having pierced ears with out all the pain and fuss! Offering everything you need to apply bINK’d in one place.” – Cara Rybarik

bINK’d was launched in 2010 in Racine, Wisconsin by Mom, Cara Rybarik, out of the desire to provide the look of traditional earrings without the commitment and dangers of actual piercing. bINK’d is made in USA using FDA-approved, kid-safe vegetable-based inks and adhesive. Average wear lasts four days up to a week and stay put unlike other temporary earrings. Plus, you can use on your nails, dolls, toy cars, and face, just about anywhere!  


***my girls still LOVE their bINK’d products we reviewed in the past and my youngest was just asking us to buy some more this week! We ordered three more sets of earrings our own and then we were also sent the new all in one purse for review.
