Earth Baby Organics Review



So being an organic mommy I have had a hard time finding baby skin care products that I like and an even harder time finding sunscreen that doesn't make Strider break out. I looked around some local stores and some shops on the internet and finally found a great site with great products called Earth Baby Organics. They offer amazing sunscreen as well as great baby bath and diapering products. Strider has extremely sensitive skin and had a chance to review the baby sun n' fun sunscreen and he didn't get any skin irritation at all-yeah! We also reviewed the baby Playful Sudzz Bath Gel-it smells so great and the kids love the bubbles, I love the fact that it is organic, pediatrician recommended, and hypoallergenic! If you are in the market for great baby skincare products then Earth Baby Organics is the place for you! They use an award winning technology called oleosphere that "allows targeted delivery of natural nutrients in safflower oil in the skin." -it feels great. All of their other products look really amazing and they have a great motto too "organic goodness from mother earth"-can't beat that!

We Love You Trendy Tadpole.


I recently won a T-shirt for my baby from Mad Em's Bloggity Blog from this awesome place called The Trendy Tadpoleand fell in love with the site and their awesome shirts. Strider was born into a family of Johnny Cash lovers and happens to be named for him too, so of course The Boy In Black Shirt was the obvious choice for him was -so cute and comfy and he looks so handsome in it if I do say so myself. After winning him that shirt I went over to The Trendy Tadpolesite and ordered us up some more-Saylor got the pink Elvis shirt and I ordered Strider the Buddah Belly shirt for the fall. I used their coupon code on the site and paid half price for these amazing little shirts and my kids are super excited and so am I. All of the shirts are on American Apparel one of my favorite places to buy shirts and fit really well. They also have some other adorable designs in all sizes and colors-I can't wait to order more. We love you Trendy Tadpole and all of your great shirts!

Peace Love and Mom Review!


Being a mother of 3 I feel a lot like I have no time to myself and I sometimes I feel like my fashionable side has been compromised so instead of just settling for boring t-shirts and sweats I decided to embrace my inner and outer mommy and shopped around for some cute mom tees. That's when I found PEACELOVEMOM ! They specialize in T-shirts that help moms express themselves through awesome t-shirts. I was given this Black Grateful Mom Burnout Tee to review and I absolutely love it and I must say it does express my feelings as a mommy for I am always grateful for my beautiful babies. It is super comfy and the design is so cute! I have worn it and washed it and it hasn't shrunk or faded. Yeah for PEACELOVEMOM for making this mom happy. PEACELOVEMOM also carry some adorable hats, totes, longsleeve tees and some great kid and baby shirts as well.

Here is the Grateful Mom shirt!

Happy Birthday Sky Aidan!


Yes it is hard to believe my first born is going to be 6 years old tomorrow- July 12th! Seems like yesterday I was bringing him home so small and tiny and now he is the sweetest most caring and wonderful little man ever. He makes my heart melt on a daily basis and every time I hear this song by John Lennon I think of him and cry ( I changed the name at the end to Sky) but this is a song John Lennon wrote for his son Sean and one of my favorites as well as Sky's. Enjoy and Happy Birthday to Sky you are the best and I love you the most!

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your mommy's here,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Darling,
Darling,
Darling Sky.

Piggy Paint, Piggy Paint We Love you...Yes We Do! Piggy Paint Review and Coupon.


So as you all know I am super picky about what my kids eat...and for that matter anything that goes in or on their bodies. My little glamazon aka Saylor loves nailpolish and insists on having her toes and nails painted at all times so I have been investigating a better and less toxic product for her nails for quite sometime because inevitably she ends up eating the vast majority of her nail polish and all the chemicals that go with it-EEEEEEEWWW!!! That is when I discovered Piggypaint nail polish and nail polish remover! PiggyPaint generously let Saylor and I try out some of the amazing polish and remover and it is truly awesome! The colors are all geared towards little girls and the best part is there are no harmful chemicals and even better the nail polish remover is odorless and hypoallergenic (pause for applause)!!! Piggy Paint has also offered a great coupon for all While They Nap readers which will give you 15% off anything on their site including sale items. I highly suggest getting your little divas some ASAP not only will they love it, but you won't have to worry about any harmful chemicals toughing their precious little fingers and toes. The coupon code is NAP15L and is good now through August 31st they also have free shipping for orders over $25! Head over to Piggypaint and check out all of the great colors and gift sets they offer!

Here are some pictures from our Fabulous Piggy Paint Review!
