#Giveaway Celebrating The Joy In Your Life With Merci Chocolates (Holiday Guide)

Product Received
Over the holiday season, there is a lot of family time, a lot of bonding, and with that comes the joy that you feel from the time spent. When we get together over the holidays, we find ourselves making memories, ones that we will look back on during future gatherings. For those memories and moments that we have over the holiday season, I find myself thankful. Thankful for the times, thankful for the love, and thankful for the company. I know that my kids might not see it as I do now, but as we make the holiday memories, I find myself trying to make them extra special, as my parents did with myself and my sister, so that they can look back on the memories and be thankful for those memories as well. One thing that I have always found to be a great way to show thanks, and to also bond with family and friends is over some chocolate. I know it sounds corny, but when my family and I get together, after a long day of activities, we enjoy sitting around talking, and in the middle of the table, my mom always had some chocolates that we would sit and eat as we enjoyed one anothers company. Well this year, as we sit around, catching up on the time we have been apart over this past year, I will place a bowl of Merci Chocolates in the middle of the table, to show my family thanks. So that we can go over the memories and enjoy some really great chocolates while doing so! To help with your own ways of showing thanks and joy over this holiday season, the wonderful people from Merci Chocolates would like to give one of my amazing readers their own box of Merci Chocolates with a candy bowl to go along with the chocolates!

#Giveaway Finding Gifts For Baby From Tiny Love (Holiday Guide)

Products Received
When it comes to the holiday shopping, I find that making sure everyone is covered, and that they have the gifts that the will enjoy and use, is the way to go. On my list of gift buying, I have a few new mommies on there. Friends who are going to be enjoying this holiday season with their new bundles of joy. Being a mother of 3 myself, I know that there are gifts that can really make life with baby a lot easier, and they are also gifts that both mommy and baby can really appreciate. With me, I have found that getting gifts from companies that I have used and trusted with my own babies to be the way to go. So when I was sent some products from Tiny Love to review, I not only found the products to be adorable, but also items that can really come in handy for a new parent. With the items I was sent, I found that each of the items are great for the multitasking mom on your list, which as most of us know, is just about every mom out there!
With the My Nature Pals Stroll, mom and baby can enjoy this great item to keep baby occupied while in the car, running errands with mom, or for anytime that mom has baby in the car seat! This car seat toy is perfect for using with a baby from birth on up, and it can also be placed on the stroller, to keep baby busy anytime they are on the go. From the time baby is born, having visual stimulation is important for babies eyesight, and this toy bar can be placed in the right position, which is recommended 8-12 inches from babies face, to keep baby in aw of the bright colors and shapes. As baby gets older, your baby can enjoy looking at himself in the mirror, as well as the toys that are hanging down in front of him. Then as baby gets into the reaching stage, he can bat at the toys as well as grab them and even pull them to his mouth. The My Nature Pals Stroll is very easy to put on and take off of your babies car seat and stroller, so it is a ideal toy to have handy!
With the Starry Night Mobile-Soother Night Light, mom and baby can find a calm and relaxing environment when it is time to go to bed. With this adorable mobile that is easily attached to babies crib railing, baby will be able to enjoy this great mobile as they grow, and continue to find the mobile, soother and nightlight modes to be very calming. With the mobile, you get 3 cute smiling toys, and a removable canopy. The busy, multitasking mom can also appreciate the 9 songs that this mobile plays and that it will continue to play the music for up to 30 minutes, lulling baby to sleep. Then baby can watch as projected images of moons and stars are lit up above on the canopy or ceiling above. I know that mom and baby can also appreciate that when baby gets older, the Starry Night Mobile-Soother Night Light can be placed on a nightstand or table, and used as a nightlight, projecting the moons and stars above, and allowing baby to continue to enjoy their soothing night time music.



Then, to make life for mommy, baby and anyone else in the house easier and more enjoyable, having the Take Along Bouncer is ideal. I have always enjoyed having a bouncer for my babies, so myself, my husband and the kids can enjoy interacting with baby. With my kids, they always wanted to be right there, helping in any way they can, and entertaining their baby brother, but with a new baby being so fragile, I found putting baby in a bouncer, so the kids could interact safely and enjoy the bonding, made things for everyone easier. \ Aside from the kids being able to enjoy the interaction with baby while in the bouncer, as a parent, I also found the quality time to be enjoyable. With this bouncer, not only can a parent set up baby easily in the home on the floor, but with the easy fold and carry design, this bouncer can easily be transported to grandmas house, to the park, or anywhere you might be headed with baby. I know that having the Take Along Bouncer this holiday season can really come in handy, like when it is present time, baby can join in and aw over the tree, lights, and family interaction! Well, with the holiday season upon us, the wonderful people from Tiny Love would like to assist those busy families out there, by giving one of my amazing readers a prize pack that will include each of the products I was sent!

Making Feeding Time With Baby A Little Easier With Bebe Confort

Product Received

I know that when it comes to feeding baby, that bonding that you get with your baby is a very special thing. As a parent who breastfed her own babies, I always gave others in the house a chance to bond with baby as well, by pumping milk for others to feed the baby with through a bottle. One thing that can really damper that special bonding moment, is when say daddy is feeding baby with a leaky bottle. Well recently I was sent a pack with a bottle, extra nipples, and a training cup to try out from Bebe Confort. Since Wyatt is out of the bottle stage, I had my friend who recently had a baby, try the bottle system out for me, while Wyatt gave the trainer cup a try.

When my friend started to use this bottle along with the different nipples that came along with the set I was sent, she said that she and her husband both really appreciated how easy it was to put the bottle together after filling it up. They said that there was no threading, instead, you just clipped the top on and bam, your bottle is ready to feed to baby. This feature also makes it so this bottle is leak free, which is a huge plus for anyone who has ever fed a baby with a leaky bottle! Aside from the clip on top, my friend mentioned that she really liked the nipple design. Since she breastfeeds as well, the nipple design is similar to that of a breast and the sucking action that baby has to do to eat is just like what they do when they are latched on to the breast. Then for the training cup, well I found the top to be very easy to put on, and Wyatt and I both found the leak free top to be very nice. So as Wyatt dropped his training cup on the floor while he was playing, I did not have to worry about a puddle of juice or water left under the cup. In all, we found the products from Bebe Confort to be not only ones that baby and parents can enjoy, but also nice since they were all leak free!
