Day 7 Name Your Tune CD (Ends November 16th)

As many of you know we are a musical household.  My husband, brother in law, and  father-in- law are musicians. We are also all teachers in the elementary and secondary systems and we understand the value of music exposure at an early age. We want to offer many varied and rich musical opportunities to our children.  I was really excited when I found out about Name Your Tune. The ingenious idea of seamlessly embedding specific names into songs is a great way to get children involved in music and learning.  Kids love listening to tunes and hearing their own name in song.  The child will hear his/her name over 80 times throughout the 14 well known songs.  Name Your Tune  sounds great and looks great too. Each CD comes with the name of your choice printed on the front.  This would make an awesome gift that will last a lifetime.

Based in Toronto, Name Your Tune Inc. is founded and managed by Candace Alper.

" This project has been a natural progression bringing together her love of music, arts, children and creativity. As mother to four-year-old Hannah, Candace appreciates the impact and joy of music in her child's every day. It is her motivation, enthusiasm and vision that have driven this project from its conception through to the hands of each child."

Co-Founder Eric Alper, is an avid music lover and is currently Director of Media Relations and Label Acquisitions for KOCH Entertainment. Eric brings his unique perspective and experience to Name Your Tune.  Eric also established Hear Here with a team of audiologists in 2000.  This program is in partnership with the Hospital For Sick Children and raises funds to pay for uncovered portions of the cost of hearing aids for children with hearing impairments.  Name Your Tune proudly donates a portion from our CD sales to support Hear Here.

If you go to the Name Your Tune website you can even listen to the songs that are included on the cd. They have over 4200 names and are always taking new name suggestions for their next trip to the studio.

Holiday Cards are available for as low as $1.25 each.

In addition to being a successful Canadian business woman,  Lindsay Brewda the owner is a mom of two.  She was inspired to start her business by her desire to design something unique, creative, and personal for her baby which could be kept as a memory keepsake. She has certainly done this, and has done it well. She's easy to work with and is very approachable.

Lindsay was kind enough to send me a customized  Wall Art  print with my daughter's name on it.  I also order three other pieces for my nieces and I love them all. Everything about them is high quality; the paper, the professional printing, and the design. The trendy art is perfect for a child's room or a nursery and they make the best gifts.  I'm ordering another five for gifts because the price is great and the attention to detail is apparent.  It's a great way to have an affordable, personalized, art piece for a child. No need for custom framing either because the Wall Art pieces are designed to fit in standard sized photo and poster frames and come in  8"x10", 11"x14", 18"x24", 24"x36".

Giveaway Item:  Your own customized piece of Wall Art with the name of your choice.

Day 5 Robeez (Ends November 16th)

Robeez boots and shoes are well known among parents with small children.  And for good reason. Sandra Wilson founded Robeez in 1994, when she made her own soft leather shoes for her son Robert.  She designed them to help him balance while learning to walk.  Robeez has grown substantially over the past few years and includes; Soft Soles, Mini  Shoes, and Tredz which range in sizes from 0-4yrs.Sandra also established the Robeez Heart and Sole program, which donates footwear to non-profit organizations and charities throughout the world.

When Robeez sent me a pair of their Soft Sole Booties to review I was so happy. They also have Thermal Booties and Cozy Ankle Booties this year. The review was a cinch because we already have three pairs of boots and four pairs of shoes. Our oldest daughter wore this same style of Robeez Soft Sole Booties in brown for the first two years of her life.  We (well grandma) just kept replacing them in a larger size as her feet grew.  They were the perfect transition shoe because of the elasticized ankle, which helps them stay on. Their soft sole ensures comfort and flexibility.  They provided warmth and protection for her on the floors inside and outside and she wore them ALL of the time.  They barely show any wear and every pair has made"hand me down" status for our second baby. The pink is so cute and now our youngest daughter has a brand new pair. She already loves her new boots and has worn them every day since they arrived.Order them online or in a store near you. They make the the perfect gift for a newborn, baby, or child.  Follow them on facebook for special deals and information.

Giveaway Item:  You choice of Robeez shoes or boots in your size preference.(subject to availability)

Day 4 Girl Gotch 3 pairs of boxer or brief style (Ends November 16th)

The best reference for underwear that “ride up” came from niece Lily, who was just over two at the time. We were at a family party and she was having issues with a wedgie and she shouted, “I have hungry bum”. As hilarious as her newly coined term was, it certainly wasn’t comfortable. “Hungry bum” was the catalyst for owner Rebecca to start her company Girl Gotch.

"I was potty-training my daughter and was having a really hard time finding underwear that fit her. She seemed to always be pulling and adjusting and no matter what, they would “ride-up”. I tried everything, even buying size 5/6 panties for her (even though she was 2).


One afternoon, we were at my sister‘s house. My daughter and nephew were playing and were so wrapped up in their fun that my daughter had an accident. I didn‘t have a change of clothes, so I borrowed a pair of my nephew‘s gotch. I didn‘t think much of it at the time, but as the day went on I noticed that she wasn‘t complaining about her underwear hurting. I also watched her jump and play around and they stayed in place. The gotch covered her whole bum, which was something her panties never managed to do.


That got me to thinking...why don‘t they make gotch for girls? And so, Girl Gotch was born ."

These adorable undies are available in both brief or boxer styles and range from size 0 – 6. Girl Gotch comes in two styles, brief or boxer, up to size 6. Rebecca sent us one of each set to try out and they certainly do everything that she originally designed them to do. The boxers are fitted shorts style undies and the brief is inspired by the original “tighty whitey”. Both are adorable and they come in the best box. My daughter is using the boxes to store crayons. Perfect for gift giving!


Giveaway Item: a set of three pairs of Girl Gotch undies. Your choice of style, color/colour, and size.

Day 2 SmartKnitKIDS Sensitivity Seamless Sensitivity Socks (3 Pair) (Ends Nov 16th)

My daughter is one of those children who can’t stand tags in her clothes.  In fact, it is quite rare that she even wears her clothes in the house.  She is very sensitive to texture and fabric.  When I received my SmartKnitKids Seamless Sensitivity Socks in the mail I was thrilled.  They are the best socks I have ever had for my kids.

There are no seams at all.  They are super soft and are made with corespun yards using Lycra.  Any parents with children knows that socks are very difficult to keep on our little ones. Not these.  SmartKnitKids uses a non-binding Halo Top that fits comfortably at the top, prevents slipping, and is elastic free.   On top of all of this they are anti-microbial, which inhibits fungal odor-causing bacteria.

They come in numerous colors/colours, sizes, and heights. They even come in hard to find black, which I love. The knee highs are my favourite/favourite as they look so cute with skirts.

Giveaway Item:  3 pairs of socks, your choice of size and colour/color

Day 1 - $50 Gift Certificate from Sprout Baby (Ends Nov 16th)

  S

I am absolutely thrilled to be reviewing a product from such an innovative, eco friendly, forward thinking company like Sprout Baby.  Making healthy choices for our children might be  the most daunting task that parents face. Doing so while remaining environmentally conscious is an even larger responsibility.  
When we had our first daughter we made every attempt at being environmentally aware and health conscious parents. She ate all organic , homemade, baby food from the minute she started solids.  With our second child we were much busier and it was not as easy for us to provide such healthy options and we found ourselves taking shortcuts.  Sprout baby makes it easier for us not to take those short cuts. In fact, the company is commited to making it accessibly and effortless to purchase products that promote development and health in children, while maintaining an ecologic awareness.

“SproutBaby.com is the brainchild of parents and professionals that saw an unexplored area of parenting and shopping and wanted to bridge the gap between making healthy choices and making easy choices. We created SproutBaby.com because we care and are concerned for babies and their moms, their families and communities, and the planet in which we all share. As we grow to include more options to fit more needs, we will provide comprehensive, eco-conscious, e-commerce and social shopping which is centered around making it easy to make mindful decisions about the products parents choose to put on, in and around their children and families. “

Their products include a variety of eco friendly items which make perfect gifts.  Sprout Baby has an organic, gourmet, baby food created by celebrity chef Tyler Florence, which is fully shelf sustainable.  How’s that for easy! 

Recently I was given the opportunity to review the Thinksport 350mL bottle.  The stainless steel bottle is perfect for keeping liquids either hot or cold. It has both a large and small opening for drinking and a little mesh filter to keep ice in.   All of the parts can go in the dishwasher and best of all it's BPA, PVC, and phthalate free.  Another wonderful item from Sprout Baby that makes raising healthy children a little bit easier!

Giveaway Item: One lucky reader is going to receive a  $50 gift certificate from Sprout Baby.  Want to order now?
