I know that I am so late on posting the winners to this giveaway. I would like to say congratulations to Caitie, Darcy, Debbie P., Mandy and Sofia for winning this giveaway.

And a special congratulations goes to Darcy for winning the $25 gift card.

When I was contacted by YoBaby to try their new 3-in-1 meals I was really excited. This new product combines fruit flavored yogurt with vegetables and cereal. (Can we say all-in-1 healthy breakfast or snack?)

I stalked my local Wal-Mart for weeks looking for this new line of tasty deliciouness. Yesterday in Wal-Mart what do I see? Yes. The new 3-in-1 meals at only $1 per cup. They come in the following flavor combination’s:

• Pear & Green Bean
• Peach & Squash
• Apple & Sweet Potato

I saw all three of the flavors but I decided to grab the peaches and squash for my little one to try for the first time.

I wasn’t disappointed at all. The consistency was still that of yogurt. That came as a huge surprise to me. The only thing that I found a little disappointing was the size of the container. It was a little too much for my ten month old to enjoy by himself. I was able to split it between him and my two year old son. Other then that, no complaints came my way.

I’m guessing I passed on this trait to him because I suffer from eczema as well. Although my case is not as severe as his, it still bothers me on occasion. Especially during the summer months when the weather has the tendency to dry my skin out.

I am always trying to find products that will work for his skin. I have been through a lot of different brands trying to find the right one. From Eucerin to natural Shea butter to prescription ointments. (I’m not a fan of prescriptions unless absolutely necessary.) If a product has come out that says “for dry skin” I can guarantee that I have tried it.

Not only does eczema dry the skin, it makes it very sensitive. I can’t use anything on his skin that contains perfume or dyes. It just irritates it even worse.

That is when I found Nature’s Baby Organics. Their products are organically made for children with sensitive skin. When I saw that I was immediately drawn in.

Adena Surabian, the woman behind this wonderful company, founded Nature’s Baby Organics after her one year old daughter broke out in a mysterious rash all over her body. During the two years that she was researching chemicals and developing a line of hair and skincare products for children with sensitive skin her second daughter was born and suffered from severe eczema. This story is how I knew that this line of products would work beautifully on my sons skin. In 2005, Natures Baby Organics was born and every thing that compounds her line is 100% from nature.

The products that I tried were the Shampoo & Body Wash, Bubble Bath and the Organic Soothing Stick. Although all three of these products has helped to soothe my sons skin I want to concentrate on my love for the Organic Soothing Stick. This product is my all time favorite. It is like an over sized chap stick for the skin. I keep this baby in my purse and when I notice my sons elbows or knees are starting to get dry, I can whip this out and spread it on his skin. It’s as easy as that. Roll it up, spread it on, roll it down. Simplicity and ingenuity at its finest.

NOW FOR THE GIVEAWAY!

Nature’s Baby Organics is giving away three products from their store, excluding the gift packages, to one of my lucky readers.

I had the opportunity to taste test the new Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters before they hit the stores a few weeks ago. My family is a huge fan of granola. We eat granola bars religiously around here and I like my cereal to have granola in it. That is why when I got the opportunity to try a new granola snack, I was all over it.

They come in four different flavors: Nut Lovers, Roasted Almond, Roasted Cashew and Honey Roasted Peanut. When I saw the word “cashew” that was the first bag that I opened. Cashews are my favorite nuts. The taste of the Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters exceeded my expectations. They really did. Some of the snacks that you can get with granola in it don’t have an appealing taste, but these were delicious.

The most important thing? My children and my fiance actually liked them.

If you would like to try these for yourself you can print off a $1.00 coupon and purchase them at Wal-Mart for around $2.

Thank you so much to MyBlogSpark for providing these delicious samples.

Recently, I had the opportunity to receive the The Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra to review from Bravado! Designs Inc.

It provided a great deal of support overall and is extremely comfortable and virtually undetectable underneath clothing, which is the goal of seamless bras, so this particular nursing bra totally meets the expectations in that area. This design lives up to exactly what it was purposed for: to provide the nursing mom with a bra that is comfortable, supportive, and durable with features that offer simple and convenient breast access.

The quality and durability of the Bravado brand is evident in this product – the material is soft and feels nice on the skin. I typically don’t enjoy ribbed material when it comes to fitted articles because it sometimes creates an itchy feel, but I can say this bra surprised me in that it didn’t bother me in the areas where the elastic had the ribbed texture (which were the most supportive areas as you will find in the video).

The clasps that latch and unlatch to provide access to the breast for nursing are very easy to maneuver and can be done with one hand without any problem, quickly and effortlessly. The bra’s elasticity creates a perfect fit no matter what shape or size you are. The sizing scale is very simple, which I LOVE because you choose a small, medium, large, x-large, etc and you are guaranteed that the bra you receive will form flawlessly to your body’s shape. As the Bravado website suggests, this feature makes for a wonderful gifting option since you don’t have to know a person’s exact bra size.

Overall, I was admittedly impressed with this product despite my preference for an underwire. I was elated to learn by visiting Bravado Design’s website that they actually have two underwire bra lines launching next month for ladies like me who prefer that style in a bra. On a scale of 1-10, when it comes to the perfect nursing bra, I would honestly give this particular bra a 9, taking away only for the too-high cut front between the cups which makes it impossible to wear with any type of low-cut blouse.

The company, I would have given an 8.5 simply because they had NO style available for women who prefer an underwire. Now that I know there is a product line coming out which features that style, I gladly give Bravado Designs a 10 without hesitation and would recommend their products to other nursing moms who are looking for good-quality, affordable options.

Now for the giveaway!

Bravado Designs is giving away one of their Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra to a very lucky reader.
