Tatutina Big Sister T-Shirt Review

Tatutina is a wonderful online store with unique products that are all very colorful and happy. A lot of their products are hand painted/screened and all of them that are, use paint that is certified non-toxic and lead free. They have such a fun and funky way of creating their designs! I fell in love with the colors and bright patterns of all their products. They have clothing, gifts, jewelry, and art.

We received the Big Sister T-Shirt to review for free. This is an adorable shirt that has bright pink, orange and yellow butterflies graphics on a lavender background. It is hand screened and has the words Big Sister on it as well as the butterfly designs. Made from soft 100% cotton that is machine washable and dryer safe. It is available in three sizes: 2, 4, and 5/6.

Teela is my oldest daughter. She is 8 and is a big sister to my youngest daughter, Zari who is almost 6. I received the largest size shirt and was pleased to find that the Big Sister T-Shirt runs a little big which is good because my 8 year old can still wear it. Teela is slender so keep that also in mind. This shirt is so cute! I love the bright designs and the butterflies! Such a great way to show sisterhood!

MiracleFold Clothes Laundry Folder Review and Giveaway

I received MiracleFold complimentary to facilitate this review and the opportunity to also give one away.

I know how to fold clothes, but I find folding clean laundry sort of boring. My kids don't really like doing it and usually end up stuffing their clothes drawers full of wadded up clothing. Then the clothes are wrinkled and don't fit in the drawer well. The drawer ends up staying open because of the mess and the clean clothes that should have been folded to begin with end up all over the floor and stuffed in places they should be. Then those same clean clothes end up in the laundry again to get rewashed. This wastes so much time and energy, let alone resources in the end.

Enter the MiracleFold into our lives and clothing gets folded, clothing drawers are more organized, and my kids are happier because they have something that not only entertains them, but gets the job done. The MiracleFold is also great because it is so easy for littler kids to also join in the folding fun. It folds shirts, pants, and towels really well. My kids were even trying to figure out how to use the MiracleFold for other clothing, garments and linens. This time saving gadget is especially great if you have kids who think folding laundry is boring or not worth their time. It also makes the clothing/linens uniform and more organized in the drawer or cabinet. I have heard that it might not work as well on baby clothes or clothing that is in the extra larger sizes or above. Since I really don't have those sizes in my family this product works really well for us.

The plastic the MiracleFold is made of is fairly robust. I can see that if it is used nonstop that eventually it might break along the plastic hinges where the panels can be folded in. It comes in two great colors: Sky Blue and Orange. They are also going to implement more colors down the line. We picked the Sky Blue because it goes with our home decor better. I did find that the plastic it is made of does attract static electricity so make sure your clothing has ran through the dryer with a dryer sheet that reduces or eliminates static cling. The back of the MiracleFold also has rubber nonslip grippers so that it doesn't slide around while being used.

The MiracleFold also takes up very little space since it is flat and it can be hung on a hook that attaches to the wall with an adhesive sticker. This makes it easy to find and also great for laundry rooms, linen closets, or by where you iron your clothing. We love how compactly it folds up.

Here are the abbreviated instructions (Read the full instructions for the individual items on the MiracleFold website):

1. Lay MiracleFold on a flat surface with the rubber nonslip grippers facing down and open up all panels on it so that it is also laying flat.
2. Lay a shirt, pants, or towel on the MiracleFold. Flatten it out and line it up properly as per full instructions.
3. Fold the panels in as per full instructions to to achieve perfect folds.

WIN IT
Prize: 1 winner will win a MiracleFold in their choice of color, blue or orange.

Purex Plus Oxi Review and Giveaway

I'm reporting to you as your friendly Purex Insider. Purex Plus Oxi is a new stain-fighting liquid detergent from Purex. It has Oxi AND Zout stain removers. This is the most powerful Purex detergent available with 3 stain-fighting enzymes that work against 101 different stains! It, like all Purex liquid detergents, works in both high efficiency washers and traditional washing machines.

I received a 43.5 fl oz bottle of the Purex Plus Oxi in Fresh Morning Burst Scent to try out for free. I found it to be an excellent stain pretreatment. Just pour a little of it onto the stain, rub stained fabric together and let sit for about 5 minutes before putting into the wash load. Then you can also add the same laundry detergent to the washer too. It also gets clothes super bright, white and clean! I tried it and I don't usually like detergents with a scent, but this one is mild and nice and is still hypoallergenic. My son got his pants all dirty with dirt and grass stains (boys will be boys). This got the stains and dirt out and left the clothes fresh smelling and clean.

BabyLegs Fall Frenzy Sale, Halloween Costume Contest, Review and Giveaway

Halloween is coming fast and if you need some accessories to go with your little ones costume BabyLegs has great leggings/legwarmers, tights and socks to add a little something extra to your child's costume and keep their legs, arms, feet and/or tootsies warm on that brisk night of trick-or-treating. I looked around at their website and saw some great ones for ballerinas, princesses, fairies, wildlife (like zebras, leopards, giraffes, tigers and cows), witches, warlocks, firemen, astronauts, robots, sports fans etc. They even have a costume section on their website. If you are at all imaginative you could probably come up with some that would go great with any costume! One great thing is that the leggings are one size fits all and even adults and teens can wear them! The tights and socks do have a great size range you can pick from too.

We were given the opportunity to review some adorable leggings free to go with both of the costumes that I put together for my daughters. Teela who is now age 4 is going to be Little Red Riding Hood this year and so she was given the Rainbow Legwarmers to try. These are made of a soft organic cotton, have wonderful bright rainbow stripes and are great for boys as well as girls. Zari who will be 2 on the 19th of October is going to be a leopard kitty cat this year and was given the Loveable Leopard Legwarmers to try. These have cute pink hearts and leopard spots on them and were so precious with her costume.

I am so glad I am pretty imaginative to be able to put together these costumes pretty much from scratch. I had so much fun making parts of them and seeing the costumes come together in their entirety. I am also glad for the donations I was given to make them even more special. Teela's Red Riding Hood costume was made with a red IKEA pillowcase I found at Goodwill that I split down one side of stitches and folded over for the hood, a red scarf I wrapped around her neck, a fancy red dress she already had, my heirloom baby blessing dress folded down on the top with the arms slipped through the dress sash to make an apron, a basket Teela had and of course the Rainbow Legwarmers from BabyLegs. Zari's Leopard Kitty Cat costume was made with a cute costume (complete with: gold bow tie, leotard, skirt, and tail) handed down from the neighbors, a spotted coat with hood from a different neighbor, black cat ears wrapped with spotted fabric and of course the Loveable Leopard Legwarmers.

My daughters also got the chance to test out a pair of tights each for free. My daughter Teela received the Trapeze Girls Tights and they are very fun and bright! They have both polka dots and stripes. Zari received the Acrobat Girls Tights and these have purple stars that promenade across a magenta background. These are great tights that are footless and have ruffles around the ankles.

Whimsey Kids and My Whimsical Creations Boutique Review and Giveaway

My daughter Teela turned 4 officially on April 15th, 2012. I wanted her party day, April 28th, to be special. Teela had picked a Princess and Pony theme for her party this year. My mom (her Babu, short for Babushka) got her a princess crown, wand, and ring to go with the party dress she would be wearing and made her a special carrot cake with cream cheese filling for her birthday cake. I made all the arrangements for getting the announcement out for the event on Facebook since all my friends that had little girls semi close to me were on there. I also bought a cute cake topper for her cake with 4 Disney Princesses and a castle that opened up as a carrying case to house them after the cake was gone. My boys helped me decorate and planned their own puppet show to put on for the guests. We had a few glitches during the party, but all in all I believe it was a success. Teela loved all her gifts she received and had a lot of fun with her friends doing games, dressing up, and watching Disney's Tangled.

The icing on the cake crown jewel was her party dress! Handcrafted by Whimsey Kids (My Whimsical Creations Boutique) this dress was custom made with my specifications and my daughter's measurements. I got a knotted dress with a fairly long skirt so that Teela has a bunch of room to grow in it still. I picked out: the style of dress, the material from Whimsey Kids' fabric stash, what size it should be and what my daughter would love handpainted on the front. Whimsey Kids did all the rest! She was so great to work with! She sewed the dress and added really cute embellishments. I love the ruffle on the top front of the bodice, the white ribbon bow, and the ties in back to make a bow that she added to it. My daughter requested Whimsey Kids paint a pony so she painted Strawberry Shortcake's horse, Honey Pie on the front. Honey Pie looks a bit like our mini pony, Gizmo. Whimsey Kids is so amazingly talented! She handpaints all these characters herself! Go to her website and see what she has done to get ideas. Teela's dress turned out gorgeous! I am very thankful to Whimsey Kids because Teela was definitely the belle of the ball and this dress is awesome for Spring!

BUY IT:
You can find her creations on her Website, Ebay, Facebook, and Yardsellr.

WIN IT:
Prize: Win a Whimsey Kids Custom Dress and Matching Hair Clip.

Organically Grown Review

Organically Grown has launched their new holiday apparel line. Their new winter collection is here. They have clothes for baby, kids, women and men. They also have accessories and infant room decor. Their items are stylish, affordable, and made of 100% certified organic cotton, making them the ideal gift.

I received the Organic Cotton Girls "Penguins &; Ruffles" 3 Piece Set from Organically Grown to test and review for free. This outfit is also made of 100% certified organic cotton making it very eco-friendly, soft, and safe for baby's skin. Free of toxins and chemicals to keep baby safe. Zari looked so very cute in the outfit we were given and it was a bonus 3 piece set. The stripped pants were totally adorable with built in booties and frilly ruffles on the behind :) I liked the hat, but wish it had some sort of strap to keep it on her head. The long sleeved bodysuit was so cute with a little embroidered penguin on it and the ruffles by the decorative buttons. The outfit also came with a decorative padded hanger.

Did you know that over 456 million pounds of pesticides (according to the Organic Exchange) are applied onto regular cotton each year and seven of these are on the Environmental Protection Agency’s list of the top ten pesticides which are known, probable, or likely carcinogens? Organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, making it healthier for the environment, the farmers, you and your family. Organically Grown's products and prices make it simpler to choose organic.

This season, their baby collection includes soft and snugly outfits at great prices! Their three-piece organic bodysuit sets are the perfect shower or holiday gifts, at only $20!

My Baby Clothes Boutique Review and Giveaway

Their clothes and accessories are affordably priced. They even have an organic clothing section and a section of last chance sale items.

I picked the Personalized Hot Pink Little Sprout Tab Dress for my youngest daughter, Zari. This little dress is absolutely adorable and It definitely gets other's attention because of the bright hot pink and lime green colors. It is embellished with polka dots, stripes, solid tabbed ribbon hemline and adorable little ribbon flowers on the shoulders. This is from the Little Sprout line from Mud Pie. I love the whole line. I even had a Little Sprout headband from Teela's collection of hair things to match which was a pleasant, happy surprise. This dress reminds me of a fond memory of some dresses my mother made my sisters and I in the 80's that were made of wild patterned and brightly colored fabric. My Baby Clothes Boutique personalized this dress with Zari's name and the font and color they used for the embroidery is perfect! Zari just glows in this whimsical creation.

Here are other items I love on their website: The other Little Sprout items, Cozy Rosie Baby Gown, Cozy Rosie Minky Dot Coverall, Flower Power Swing Top, Watermelon Capri Set, Simple Smocked Daygown, Rose Smocked Dress, etc.

Hello World Clothing SmartZip Sleeper Review and Giveaway

The Hello World SmartZip Sleeper helps diaper changes be an easier task. With its zipper that unzips at both ends it is great for dressing baby the conventional way and lets you change your little one without having to unzip the whole sleeper.

Comes in 2 colors currently: Blue Me Away and Made Me Blush. A third color: Olive You More is coming soon.

The sleepers are made from 100% interlock cotton. Since cotton is a natural fabric it breaths better than synthetic fibers and is soft against baby's skin. It is also machine washable and has a tag-less neck label so it doesn't irritate the baby. Made in Macau.

I found the 3 month size (which is supposed to be 0-3 months according to their chart) too big for Zari and pajamas should fit snugly. Maybe I should have requested the newborn size. I love the fact that the zipper has a snap flap so that the baby's chin is protected from the top zipper pull and it also has a fabric cover covering the bottom zipper pull so it won't be messed with by little fingers. I thought the non-skid footed bottoms were a nice touch even though she isn't going to be walking for months. The SmartZip Sleeper comes in sizes from newborn to 12 months. Zari will grow into this great sleeper and when she does it will be even more fabulous! She is so cute in it now :)

Woombie Review and Giveaway

The Original Peanut Shaped Zipper Swaddle: The Woombie is an ingenious swaddling outfit for babies. It mimics the womb by gently cocooning baby and keeping baby secure. It swaddles baby safely without the use of a blanket or wrap that the baby could possibly get smothered or entrapped in. Allows baby to stretch and move inside without it coming off. Doesn't overheat or confine baby. Prevents: baby from waking up by the startle reflex and baby's little fingernails scratching baby's face. Improves colic symptoms and does not interfere with natural motor development. It also has a 2way zipper that allows you to change baby's diaper without taking the whole outfit off or zipping it completely down. You can just zip the bottom zipper up a little changing baby easily.

Woombies are made of a Cotton/Spandex blend & come in 10 styles & 4 Sizes (All Woombies, except older version Deluxe, come with a larger coil 2way zipper.):

*Original - Medium swaddle, perfect stretch
*Original XL - Made 1" Wider for broader/chunkier babies
*Organic - Medium swaddle similar to Original, but Organic fibers
*Deluxe - A fancier version of the Original. Moderate swaddle
*Houdini - A firmer swaddle. Still very stretchy but less stretch than the Original. Fabric thicker than the Original.
*Summer - Thin and light, super stretchy. Light swaddle
*Winter - 100% Polyester Micro Fleece. Warm and cuddly. Firm swaddle, Minor stretch capabilities. MOST restrictive.
*Convertible - Arms open up to convert to arms-free sleep when it is time. Meant for transitioning purposes. Fabric stretchy, relaxed neck line.
*Leggies - Original Woombie with legs for use in elevated sleepers, swings and strollers.
*Convertible Leggies - Arms open up to transition baby. Use in car seat, stroller, swings, upright positioners and more.

I received a Ballet Pink Ruffles Deluxe Woombie for free for Zari to try out and for me to review. She loves being swaddled, but I was concerned before that her blanket I was swaddling her with would come open and possibly block her airway somehow. I found the Woombie to be what I was looking for in a swaddler. The Deluxe Woombie has the advantage of being super cute, but unfortunately doesn't come in the Convertable or Leggie styles. I think that this would be a great addition to their line and hopefully they will consider this. Since my daughter, Zari, prefers to have her hands-free to suck on her fingers sometimes I unzip the top zipper a bit on this Woombie so that she has access to them. Zari seemed to like the Woombie and fell asleep in it.

BUY IT:
Woombies cost from $12 for the clearance Woombies (older style with one way zipper and/or slight imperfections) to $29.99 for the Deluxe, etc.

WIN IT:
Karen at Woombie has generously offered a Deluxe Woombie for one of my readers to win. (Available in 4 styles: Ballet Pink Ruffles, Tropicale Baby Ruffles, Lil'Princess and Lil'Rockstar.)

Kiki's Fashions Review

I have my own clothing fashion style that I just absolutely love. I have talked about it briefly on this blog. I have kind of a hippie/boho style. I love clothing that has a ethnic flavor from a different country. I have been looking around the web for maternity clothing I like since I am pregnant and one of the stores online I came across had a lot of clothing I love. Kiki's Fashions has some very trendy maternity clothes at some absolutely fabulous prices!

They carry maternity: short sleeve tops, long sleeve tops, tank tops, dresses, and bottoms. They even have some that are for that transitional stage in your pregnancy. Their clothing is not the droll boring maternity clothing found in most stores. They are cute and highly fashionable.

I really don't want to spend an arm and a leg on clothing I will only wear during my pregnancy...who does? Kiki's Fashions prices range from $9.99 to $29.99. They also have sweet Under $10 and Clearance sections!!

I picked the Jade Embroidered Short Sleeve Maternity Shirt from their store to try and review for free from Kiki's Fashions. I love this shirt! It reminds me of the Orient and I love the color! It has a tie in the back that enables you to cinch it up if needed and gorgeous embroidered accents that make the shirt more wonderful! The only real downside is that this shirt is made from 100% Rayon so it wrinkles easily and is more difficult to clean. Also, the front comes a bit low for me so I am more comfortable wearing a shirt under this. I picked the small because I am petite even when I am pregnant and it fit very nicely even though I am now 36 weeks. These shirts come in other colors besides this pretty jade (which is actually more of a teal): olive brown and light plum.

BUY IT:
Buy the Jade Embroidered Short Sleeve Maternity Shirt for $23.99. Also, for a limited time you can get 20% off of $100 with coupon code SAVEMORE20, 15% off off $75 with coupon code SAVEMORE15, 10% off $40 with coupon code SAVEMORE10.

Clorox Green Works Kids Clothing Swap and Review

I had the chance to do a Clorox Green Works® Kids Clothing Swap House Party ™ sponsored by Better Homes and Gardens on Saturday, October 03, 2009. I had fun putting the whole thing together and we all tried out and learned about the products. Most the guests were camera shy, so I only ended up taking a few pictures, but our party turned out great!


We exchanged gently worn kids' clothing items that were all washed previously in NEW Green Works ™ Natural Laundry Detergent. I love the fact that the Green Works natural laundry detergent is safe for my family and cleans my clothing well. It is made by a company I trust, Clorox. It leaves no residue behind on your clothing or your skin while wearing your clothing. It has no harsh chemical fumes that would make me nauseous. It is made with plant based, biodegradable cleaning ingredients which are also safe for the environment. Made with no phosphates or bleach. I love that this product is hypoallergenic and won't irritate the skin.

After the swap, I shared going green tips and each person that came got to take home green goodies.

In the kit I received:

* Green Works™ Laundry Detergent samples (See above for my review.)
* Green Works™ Cleaning Wipes samples (I loved these for cleaning. They have a wonderful lemon scent and are 99% natural, are compostable and biodegradable.)
* Sierra Club note cards (Cute note cards!)
* GE Reveal® CFL Bulb coupons (Reveal CFLs lasts up to 8 times as long as incandescent bulbs and use 75% less energy! That is wonderful for my savings.)
* Burt's Bees® 25th Anniversary Lip Balm and Lotion samples (I love Burt's Bees products! This is definitely one of my faves! It has a wonderful peppermint smell and makes your lips tingle with refreshing soothing and cooling. It glides on smooth and feels great! It is made of beeswax to seal in moisture and has all natural ingredients. This is perfect to refresh dry or chapped lips. I highly recommend it!)
* Brita®FilterForGood® reusable Nalgene® bottles (I love these bottles! They are now BPA free so are a healthier choice than many options out there and saves on water bottles going to the landfill since they are reusable. They are great for taking on trips and backpacking.)
* Brita® coupons (I handed these out to my guests, but have not tried this filter out for myself.)

DISCLAIMER: Thanks to House Party ™ for providing me with this opportunity to host a Clorox Green Works® Kids Clothing Swap sponsored by Better Homes and Gardens. I received the above samples and coupons to hand out to hand out to guests and test and review myself. My thoughts are mine and my family's own opinion and have not been altered by anyone else. I did not receive any other compensation for doing this review. House Party connects people through parties. You too can use the helpful tools to plan your party, create invites, join sponsored events, share pictures and video, and explore thousands of parties being held in homes around the country.

Nixie Clothing Review and Giveaway

Nixie Clothing has beautiful one of a kind clothing for children. All are made in London, UK. They use only sustainable reconditioned wools and vintage fabrics in their clothing. I love that they make such lovely clothing out of what would otherwise become discarded. They are eco-friendly and ethical. I first saw a butterfly dress from Nixie Clothing on another blog and was immediately drawn to its pixie like appearance. It reminded me of a fairytale dress. In fact the clothing is based on German folktales. All of Nixie Clothing are perfect for playing tea party or fanciful imagination. The designs are all unique and eccentric. If they came in my size I would be wearing them :) They do come in these sizes: (XS) 1-2 years, (S) 3-4 years, (M) 5-6 years, and (L) 7-8 years and they ship worldwide!

I was sent an absolutely gorgeous berry bohemian (boho) dress for my daughter, Teela in a size (XS) 1-2 years. She looks so sweet in it! She has some growing room in it too which is wonderful because children grow so fast.

Win it! Nicole at Nixie Clothing is giving one lucky reader a Boho Coat of their choice.

1. Go to the Nixie Clothing website and tell me what other clothing they sell from their store AND tell me which Boho Coat you would like to win. (Do both or entry will be disqualified)

Happy Green Bee Review

Happy Green Bee is an organic kids clothing store. They have bright colors and their clothing looks wonderfully fun and comfortable to be in. They make their clothes from organic cotton and use non-toxic dyes and no chemical bleaches or finishers. Organic cotton does not contain any harmful residues or pollutants left behind from toxins and is better for sensitive skin. Fabric made from organic cotton is softer, breaths better, and lasts longer than regular cotton. They also have accessories like hats, tights, and socks and gifts such as dolls, blankets, and the Mom's on the Go Kit. You can become a fan of Happy Green Bee on Facebook.

Happy Green Bee was good enough to let me try out the new Mom's on the Go Kit. It has 6 products and a book that is printed on recycled paper all in a convenient see through zippered case.

The book that is called "Giggles, Riddles, and Rhymes To Read Out Loud" is delightful! It has pictures throughout its pages of kids and infants in Happy Green Bee clothing and sweet poetry...most of which I haven't heard of. Also, because the book was placed in the case with the products it smells of wonderful herbs and essences.

My son, Jaedan, shown here is holding the tooth fairy tin that also came in the kit. He recently lost three teeth...so I thought it would be appropriate to give him the tin to hold them :)

The herbal room spray uses all natural essential oils of pine, peppermint, lavender, and lemon that are both anti-bacterial and non-toxic. It helps freshen a room and soothes baby. At first I thought that all those essential oils put together wouldn't have a pleasant smell, but I really liked it and my daughters, Teela and Tatiana, did too when I sprayed it in their room.

The calendula oil is organically made and is an infusion with sweet almond, sesame, and olive oil. It also has lavender essential oil to calm baby when used. I used it on Teela after a bath and boy did she love the baby massage I gave her with it.

The laundry liquid in the kit is non-toxic, biodegradable and eco-friendly so you don't have to worry about it harming your skin, septic system, or the environment. It is made from renewable plant based ingredients including corn, coconut, and palm oil. It made my whole laundry room smell wonderful when I washed a load of clothing with it and it got them clean and smelling fresh.

The all natural diaper ointment that comes in the kit is not only for baby's bottom. I was told by Mari Sullivan of HGB Marketing that she uses it for dry skin and to treat fly away hair. It has organic comfrey infused with olive, pumpkin seed, and apricot kernel oils along with vitamin E and lavender oil. Comfrey contains allantoin, that speeds up the natural replacement of body cells so this ointment is perfect for putting on a number of different kinds of owies.

Last, but not least is an apple tree growing kit. It contains a peat pellet, fine gravel, Common Apple seeds, and instructions on how to grow it from seed. What a wonderful addition to the kit this is because an apple tree will produce yummy fruit for years to come!

I have some favorites from their shop! I love the Watermelon Sky color for everything especially the Petal Dress, A-Line Sundress, Chemise, Skort, Reversible Hoodie, Stripey Leggings, Girls Sport Suit, Abbee and Amber Doll, Tights. I also like the Muffin Hat (just wish the Muffin Hat came in more colors than just Radish). I also love the Blueberry/Sky color.
