Oliver's Labels Review and Giveaway.

Closed






How many times you have taken the kid/kids out and come back home to realize that you are missing some of the things you took with you when you left the house, such as zippy cups, toys, blankets….. Or Shoes?
It is amazing the kind of things the kiddies can lose in one single trip, isn’t it?
I was there, losing some of the ladybug’s goodies more often than I would like to admit, but not anymore. I have found the perfect solution to that problem: Oliver’s Labels!
Original Labels: You can now personalize everything that leaves the house; these ADORABLE labels can be used on items that go in the dishwasher, microwave, and fridge or outdoors….Did I get your attention yet? Well that is not all, they have a complete selection of labels for anything you can think of like the Mini Labels that are perfect for skinny things like toothbrushes, pencils, or eye glasses!
But there is more. They also have shoe labels that are specially designed to stick inside the heel of a shoe.
Iron on Oliver’s Labels will allow you to personalized all clothing items that can be ironed…..can you imagine no more lost jackets?……YAY ME!
I am telling you that the minute I saw this labels I felt in love with them. They are so well made and cute that you can’t help falling in love with them. But one of their most amazing features is the “found it” feature. This cool feature will allow you to put a serial number on the label so if anyone finds something that belongs to you, they can go in their website and get the information they need to return the item to you. Now how cools is that is that!

TinySoles - Review and Giveaway

Closed.




I remember when I was a little girl having a really hard time when it came to shoes. I can’t remember how many times my mom took me shoe shopping and came back home empty handed because none of the shoes were comfortable enough for me to wear.
I make a big deal when it comes to the ladybug ‘shoes. I like the cute little shoes like every mom of a little girl does, but it is really important that they are not only cute but also comfortable for the little ones.
I was really tired of looking for toddler shoes that would be both comfortable and pretty at the same time; I looked everywhere including lots of stores in the internet…. Well guess what … I Just found them! I can’t tell you how happy I am that I discovered TinySoles.
TinySoles started with 3 moms that encountered the same issue I did and were having problems to find high quality shoes for their little ones. So, they came with the great idea: create a store where moms could find a great variety of stylish comfortable shoes for babies, infants, toddlers and kids.
I had a really hard time making up my mind and picking up a pair of shoes, they were all so cute! I ended up getting the See Kai Run Dorothy (last picture), these shoes are not only adorable, but will match any outfit.
When I received my package I was really impressed with the way they shipped the shoes, inside the regular cardboard box was the shoe box wrapped in a bright pink tissue paper, and they had the cutest foot shape lollipop inside the box.
When I finally got to the shoes I was so excited! The shoes looked just adorable and felt so soft to the touch that you can tell right away how comfortable they are. I only wish they would have them in my size!
Don’t miss out, visit TinySoles and find for yourself what a great resource for children’s shoes the store is.
Buy it: TinySoles is offering Born 2 Impress readers a 10% off with discount code born2impress.
Win it: TinySoles have kindly offered Born 2 Impress readers a 30.00 gift certificate. To participate take a look around their store and tell me what would you buy with the certificate.

Ouchies Bandages Review -Giveaway

Closed.





It is amazing the amount of troubles that kids get in to, and it looks like it only gets worse as they get older .I guess is not really their fault I mean they have all this fun stuff to play with: Bikes, skates, roller skates, skate boards…….I could keep going and going for a while, but I think you got the idea!
Luckily ladybug is not in to any of that just yet, but I do have nephews ……And I can tell you they can get in to a lot of those little accidents. Reason why I was very happy to find about Ouchies.
For those of you, who never heard of Ouchies before, let me tell you a little thing or two about them.
Ouchies are, and I am quoting my nephew “so cool”, they are a really fun alternative to those boring bandages we are more than familiar to.
They are a dad’s idea and let me tell you I wish I could come up with this kind of ideas. They come in the cutest tin boxes (which I am planning on recycle!).Each box contains 20 bandages in very unique colorful designs:
-Boys.
-Girls.
-Make your own.
All of them so unique and fun, one of the things I love the most about them is their philosophy Hide the Wound not Your Style!
Well since we all know that those little mishaps are going to happen no matter how hard we try to avoid them , you can be ready ,carry your Ouchies with you every were , just keep any of their “so cool” tin boxes in your purse and you are good to go!

Aunt Lala's Log




When the ladybug was born , everything was really crazy and she ruled the house , she dictated the time for food, sleep, shower.....Everything was done on the baby schedule!
I remember trying to keep track of all the babies activities, feed, dirty diapers, naps....All that information you want to keep track of so you make sure that everything is going the way it is supposed to.
I use to grab a notebook and put down all that "info", but some times not I could understand what i wrote down.....
I recently came across Aunt Lala's Log , and OH MY... I wish i knew about them back them.

Just Another Poopiesode.....

I took the lady bug to the doctor for her 2 years old check up, my husband and i always go together to her appointments cause we like asking questions to her pediatrician about anything that might be in our mind.
So the doctor ask about potty training and we told him about her taking her dipper off and redecorating with what was inside , i thought to myself.....Well she has not done that lately , so maybe she was over that "phase".
We went home and i started lunch.
I was busy cooking when i realized that the bug was too quiet, as you know that is NEVER a good thing!
So i call my husband:
She is hiding, can you please check why?
Well surprise ,surprise , we are not over that face yet :(
We clean the mess and took her in the bathroom and gave her a bath ( the second that day).
I go back to cooking and 20 minutes after that.....
Where is she , she is hiding again!
I run out of the kitchen and find that she has pushed one of hour chairs to the kitchen counter ( she does it every time i am in the kitchen), climb on top of it grabbed the dishwasher soap while i wasn't looking and run with it .
Now there is a whole bottle of dishwasher soap on the carpet and on her.She was so slippery that i couldn't even carry her to the bathroom for her third bath of the day!
This is how much soap she has on her , she is not taking a bubble bath, i am just rinsing out the soap......

Message in a Bottle- Kind Notes Review/giveaway.

CLOSED





Have you ever read or watch Message in a bottle?
First time i saw it cried for like an hour straight! It was so beautiful, always thought that the letter in the bottle were such a special way to say I LOVE YOU....
I recently came across KindNotes , and the first thing i thought was... Message in a bottle!
KindNotes , if you are looking for something really special to do for somebody , then you need to visit their website.
The first idea of KindNotes began four years ago as a gift the Founder had made for her then-boyfriend-now-husband. She thought about the pleasant feeling of receiving a personal letter in the mail each day, but soon-after thought the long letters might just scare him away instead! So she wrote 31 short notes onto small pieces of paper, stuffed them into plain miniature envelopes and put them in an embellished jar. Her husband then began each day with a note that made him smile.
OK. How cute is that?
They have this beautiful jars which they decorate in the most delicate way and fill them up with your messages which you can get from their library which has over 400 of them ready for you to use , but if you wanted to make it more special, you can get them to hand write the messages for you!
Here is the good news, KindNotes
is offering 3 dozen envelopes to one lucky winner!

Toga Party!


Have you ever been to a toga party?
How old were you when that happened?
I have something to confess.......Ladybug went to her first toga party!
Yes , she is 23 months and have been to one of those already.......Well actually it was not so bad it was toga party they were having here ( i live in a condo , they are always doing activities for the neighbors), and the toga party was just the last one.
So daddy decided he needed to go , he loves to party:) , and he was taking the little bug with him , so he took one of our blankets and made a toga out of it , try to guess what he used for the little one's toga, if you guessed a pillow cover... you are a 100% right!
They went to the party and i joined them a little later ,( no blankets for me just jeans and a t-shirt).
She was having a blast and EVERYBODY crazy about her"outfit"
