Win! Kiddie Catch-All™ Giveaway ***CLOSED***

I'm always driving around town with my kids and I try to eliminate as many distractions as possible.  The Kiddie Catch-All™ was created so that your kids don't have to rely on you to get their cups, toys or snacks when they're in the car. The Kiddie Catch-All™ attaches right to their car seat and makes it easy for small children to help themselves to their things. 

Born out of necessity, it was invented by a former professional nanny and mommy of a busy, wiggly 1 year old. And, it's proudly manufactured and assembled in the U.S.A.

When my 5-year old saw the Kiddie Catch-All™ commercial on TV for the first time, he stopped everything he was doing to make sure I saw this new product.  If you've never seen it, here it is:

It seems like every child's birthday party we've gone to recently has had cupcakes instead of cakes.  And, everyone keeps raising the bar with how cute and creative their cupcakes are.  That's why I was so excited for a chance to review  Roundabouts® Cupcake Sleeves.  They're wraps for cupcakes that transform your cupcakes into almost anything, and they are so easy to use!

Even though I love to cook and bake, I have to admit that my cupcake decorating skills aren't that amazing.   Roundabouts®  Cupcake Sleeves are great because you just wrap your frosted cupcakes with the self-adhesive sleeve, add a couple small touches, and your cupcakes are complete.  I've seen other cupcake 'accessories' in stores, but these are better quality and have excellent graphics.

I tried their Lil' Hambuger Cupcake Sleeves, and they look as cute in person as they do on the Roundabouts website.  My 5 year old walked into the room and got the biggest smile on his face when he saw this little hamburger.  The thought of a hamburger cupcake seems kind of funny to me, but kids LOVE these!

Here are some fun facts about Roundabouts® Cupcake Sleeves:

* There are OVER 70+ DESIGNS to choose from including: Gumball machine, Popcorn tub, Sushi, Baby bottle, Baseball, St. Patricks Day Leprechaun, Mardi Gras and Easter Bunnies and Baskets.
* They are designed and made in the USA
* They will not bleed or run with food oils and grease
* They are bakery quality durability and wipe clean of frosting
* Sleeves can be personalized with your special message.
* They have been featured in the Rachel Ray Magazine and are proud winners of the Most Innovative Exhibitor Award at the 2010 July CA Gift Show in Los Angeles.

BUY IT

 Roundabouts® designs are only $8.99 per dozen (excludes Couture or Jumbo sizes). Plus, they offer discount pricing on our 84-count bulk packaging.   Be sure to check out their new Couture Sleeves featuring elegant ribbons and rhinestones!

A Review: Personalized Kid's Labels by Oliver's Labels

 

It may seem silly to get excited about dishwasher & laundry safe labels.  But, I think Oliver's Labels are worth getting excited about.  What makes them stand apart from their competition are their colorful, detailed designs on their labels AND their Found-it™ code that can be added to your labels. 

Their designs are top notch.  They have really cute designs for kids, and trendy designs for adults too.  I've never seen any other company feature the option of having a Found-it™ code.  According to Oliver's Labels website, here's how the Found-it™ code works:

Oliver's Labels "gives you the option of printing a Found-it™ tracking system code on your labels (as seen in the example below). This unique code connects you to your item via your email address.

If you ever lose an item with a Found-it™ tracking system code, have no fear! When someone finds it they will be prompted to go to a special page on our website (see "A" in diagram below) with instructions to enter the code on the label (see "B" in diagram below). We then match you to your Found-it™ tracking system code and send you a notification email right away. Oliver’s Labels acts as an intermediary between you and the finder so you never have to share any of your personal information!"

Some of their products include:
We used some of the labels on my son's sippy cups, and they are still as perfect as the day I put them on.  Also, my stroller has one of Oliver's Labels on it.   When we're on vacation this Spring,  I will feel a little more comfortable knowing that we have Oliver's labels on our stuff with the Found-it™ code.
The last time my family went to Disney World, we lost something and never got it back.  It will give me a little more peace of mind knowing that if we lose something, it's more likely it will get returned to us using Oliver's tracking system.  Thanks Oliver's Labels for making such a great product!

Babybond Nursing Cover Review & Giveaway ***CLOSED***

Sponsored by Tomoson.com

 

 I'm no stranger to nursing a baby in public.  My youngest son was breast fed for a long time and there were plenty of times he nursed when we were out-and-about.  I've nursed in planes, trains, on the beach and in restaurants.  When I first started nursing, it took a while to get comfortable with it, but  once it became second nature, I didn't want to be banished to another room or hide my baby under one of those apron type nursing covers.  We usually used a small blanket or burp cloth to cover up what needed to be covered, but it was important to me to maintain eye contact with him and allow him to see me as well.
 I wish we would have had the BabyBond Couture™ when he was breast feeding.  It's a hybrid between nursing top and belly band, so, it would have helped to cover my post-partum belly, which was always a concern of mine.  The Babybond Couture can be worn to nurse from the top or the bottom of your shirt so it works with your entire wardrobe.  It's pretty simple to use.  Here is a quick video to show how to use the Babybond Couture:
These are some of my favorite features: 
  • It is very compact.  It's a nice light material and folds up into a little self storing pouch so you can keep in in your diaper bag without taking up much room.
  •  It comes in a variety of modern colors including: charcoal gray, navy, black, and dark brown and other colors.  It easily blends in with your wardrobe, so you won't stand out in a crowd with a bright, crazy pattern draped across your body.
  • There are three different styles to choose from:  The Original, The Flex and The Couture
  • It's less expensive than filling your closet with nursing tops. Plus, it is 100% Cotton and machine washable.
  • I love the fact that you're buying something from a company that cares!  All of the BabyBond covers are Made in the USA and the company is constantly giving back to the community.  It's not something you see everyday, so it's something to be proud of.

BUY IT

Buy the Babybond Couture online at Amazon

Or, choose one of their other great styles: The Original or The Flex.

Win! Purex Complete Crystals Softener Giveaway

 

For most women, laundry isn't usually something to get excited about.  So, when there's a fun or innovative new product that might make laundry just a bit more exciting, we need to spread the word.  Purex just came out with new Crystals Softener, and women are buzzing about the unique look, the fresh scent, and the way it softens your clothes.  Thanks to Purex, I'm offering 3 Local Fun for Kids readers a chance to win a coupon for a FREE bottle of Purex Complete Crystals Softner, and liven things up a bit in the laundry room!

Enter below for a chance to win 1 of 3 FREE bottles of  

NEW Purex® Complete Crystals Softener

WHAT IS IT? UNIQUE CRYSTAL FORM, 92% NATURAL FABRIC SOFTENER

Introducing Purex® Complete Crystals SoftenerTM*; a purer way to get laundry that smells clean and fresh for weeks. 92% natural, this product’s unique crystal form works differently than traditional oil-based softeners that coat fabrics with oily residue, because it infuses fibers with long-lasting fragrance. In addition, since you add it directly with your laundry, this means no more waiting for the rinse cycle, no messy residual gunk in your washing machine, and no more stains from spilling liquid fabric softener.

HOW IS IT USED? ADDED WITH LAUNDRY AT THE START OF THE WASH CYCLE

Why struggle with plastic fabric softener balls, risk staining your clothes or waste time waiting for the rinse cycle? Simply add Purex Complete Crystals Softener directly with your laundry at the beginning of every wash cycle to infuse fabrics with long lasting freshness.

HOW DOES IT WORK? CRYSTALS DISSOLVE INFUSING FABRICS WITH FRESHNESS

Laundry scent lovers will perk up as freshness is infused into clothes with this new fabric softener. Over time, traditional oil-based softeners coat fibers causing harmful oily residue to accumulate. Purex Complete Crystals Softeners penetrate fabrics to reduce fiber entanglement and smooth frayed fibers providing a naturally soft feel.

WHY IS IT DIFFERENT? SAFE FOR ALL LAUNDRY AND BETTER FOR FABRICS

Do ALL of your laundry—worry free! Purex Complete Crystals Softeners are safe for all laundry and will not harm, wear down or discolor your fabrics like oil-based softeners. Safe for all fabrics, including baby clothes, athletic wear, towels, and whites. Unlike other softeners, Crystals WILL:
• Preserve the flame retardant benefits of your children’s clothes
• Retain your athletic wear’s wicking ability which draws sweat away from your body
• Maintain your towels’ built-in ability to absorb water
• Keep your white clothing from yellowing and graying vs. using traditional softeners
The product won’t harm your clothes and is safe and convenient for the entire family!

* Safe for use in both Standard and High Efficiency (HE) washers

CONTEST CLOSED

This giveaway will be open until Friday January 14th, 2011 at midnight (EST) to US residents only, 18 years or older.  The winners will recieve a coupon sent their home for a free bottle of Purex® Complete Crystals Softener.  3 winners will be chosen by random.org. The winners will be notified by email and have 36 hours to respond. If they do not respond I will pick a new winner.   I am a Purex Insider. While I may receive complimentary sample products from the Purex® brand, my opinions are my own.
