Healthy Baby Home Party with Seventh Generation

Since K was born, we have completely changed our lifestyle.  From cutting out all processed foods, preservatives, food dyes, fast food, frozen food and most recently meat and dairy to cutting our household products down to nothing.  It was not an easy road and took almost 2 years to completely change and of course, it was baby steps but, we did it and feel amazing!

My husband had high cholesterol and high blood pressure at 30 and felt horrible every day.  Although he was not overweight, he felt sluggish and always tired.  I was overweight and felt horrible every day.  Since cutting out almost all of the bad food we could we moved on to household products.

It was not until our daughter; K started having diaper rashes that we discovered Seventh Generation diapers and their army of products.  Her diaper rash disappeared over night and I could not be happier.  They are great for the environment, and have no chemicals or dyes, and of course the company has a solid mission; to make the planet a better place which wins my vote.

I am hoping to host this Healthy Baby Home Party which includes a FREE kit of products for our little one and also to share with other moms the benefits of Seventh Generation not only on my blog and social media site but, also in person at our play dates.

You can find more information below!!

APS Creations Custom Embroidery Review & Giveaway

Who doesn't love a customized onesie or dress for their little one?!?!? APS Creations makes some of the most beautiful custom made outfits I have ever seen and of course they are one of a kind! My favorite outfit is my daughter's birth announcement onesie. It is just beautiful and so perfectly made. Hand-crafted just for my daughter to celebrate her special day! This can be customized with your own little one's birth information or even to celebrate a birthday! The sleeves match the embroidery color beautifully to put an extra special touch on it.
   

 Thanksgiving time, we had a custom made Turkey onesie for Kiley. It was beautifully made and great for any age. You can also have it customized to say Baby's 1st Thanksgiving or even personalized with a name.  
Turkey Thanksgiving Onesie




















The beautiful Christmas dress with her initials is another favorite of mine. The design is completely unique and the dress itself is just beautiful. You can have the initials embroidered in many different colors.  

 Another popular things for kids right now is Elf on the Shelf and what is better than your own elf? How about your own Elf on the Shelf onesie?!?!?! Kiley of course had one made with a purple K. We received so much positive feedback on this onesie and everyone wanted one. This would make a great Christmas gift for any friend or family member with a baby.

Premama Prenatal Multi Vitamin Mix Review & Giveaway


Welcome to the "For the Love of Mom" Giveaway Hop hosted by Mama's Baby Cupcakes & Mommy's Favorite Things. The theme of this event is great gifts for mother's, and each blog participating has a prize valued at $25+. This hop is April 7-21 and your winnings arrive just in time for Mother's Day! Also be sure to enter the Grand Prize valued at $160. 




Be sure to stop by Mama's Baby Cupcakes because she's also hosting the Grand Prize for this hop. Retail value is $160 and features the sponsors of Zoey's Attic, Madil flip flops, Pretty Please Polish, The Diaper Clutch, and Pure Romance by Stacy. A great package for anyone, but a special gift for the special Mom in your life! 



I recently received the Premama Prenatal Multi-Vitamin Mix in exchange for a review.  This is a new prenatal 'vitamin' mix for pregnant or lactating moms and is to be used in place of a prenatal vitamin (pill).

The box is easy to spot as it is shaped like a bag of coffee and comes in Blue (essentials) or Orange (Plus).  The mix is 'taste-less' and you can add it to any cold liquid or food.

The box includes 30 easy to open individual packets.  Instead of having to swallow a giant pill each day these easy to use packets can be added to any cold drink that is 12 ounces or more or any soft food.




The directions were easy to follow.  Simply take your favorite non-carbonated cold drink (mine is water) and add the mix.  I do not suggest you add this to water.  Although this is flavorless, it does still have a consistency to it and does make the water taste different.  I poured 12 ounces of water and added the mix to it and stirred.


It dissolved instantly!  The flavor was not bad, there really is not flavor but you can tell it's not plain water, it have a 'flavorless' taste but you can tell the difference.  I would say adding this to juice or any kind of drink that has a flavor already to it would be your best bet!  Adding it to cranberry juice or even milk would be perfect!
When I first added the mix it was cloudy:

And about a minute later it is perfectly clear and dissolved with a tint of green:  

By adding it to your favorite drink, it makes taking your vitamins quick and painless unlike most prenatal vitamins which are huge, hard to swallow and usually have a horrible taste.



·         Premama® Essentials delivers important prenatal vitamins and minerals in a flavorless drink mix.

·         Unique powder delivery method eliminates difficulty of taking hard-to-swallow prenatal vitamin pills, and is better absorbed into bloodstream

·     Convenient, single-dose packets make it easy to take Premama any time and anywhere.

·      Each on-the-go packet contains a daily serving of recommended prenatal vitamins to mix in favorite cold, flavored, non-carbonated beverages and smoothies, even oatmeal.

·         Doctor-recommended Essentials includes key vitamins for optimal prenatal health, including Vitamin B6, Ferrochel® Gentle Iron® and Quatrefolic® folate. 

·         Essentials contains all-natural ingredients, is 100% vegetarian, and Non-GMO with no artificial coloring or additives.

·         Premama Essentials is available at specialty stores and major retailers including Amazon.com, select Whole Foods Markets.


·         Premama® Plus offers the same prenatal multivitamin ingredients as Essentials formula, with Omega fats.

·         Refreshing citrus flavor in powder form makes Plus formula easy to tolerate, easier to swallow than the usual large vitamin pills.

·         Each Plus packet contains over 17 key nutrients promoting healthy fetal development, including Vitamin B6 to soothe morning sickness symptoms, Ferrochel® Gentle Iron® and Quatrefolic® folate.

·         Fortified with Vegetarian DHA, Omega-3s, CoQ10 and Choline to support fetal eye, brain and heart health.

·         Plus formula contains all-natural ingredients, is 100% vegetarian, and GMO-free with no artificial coloring or additives.
