Here we go, after you enter here make sure you go over and check out Misadventures in Baby Raising and her amazing giveaways too!

I end this wonderful Fun in the Sun giveaway extravaganza with one of my favorite items … shoes! Oh shoes how I love you, your size doesn’t go up or down. Well this last pregnancy did go up ½ a size but hey I can handle that. Looking for a size 7 ½ is so much better of a size then my pant size. Well enough about that!

I was so excited when Switch Flops let me try a pair. They sent me over the Lulu in brown along with 2 strap to switch to (Brittany & Shawn). Amazing enough my husband is the shoe fanatic in our house, really he’s closet is packed. Which leaves me little space for my shoes, so let me tell you a shoe that allows me to switch it out making it look like more than one shoe and take up little space makes me smile wide. I know who the heck is the girl here?

Switch Flops comes in 3 comfortable soles to choose from with super cute names (Lily, Lulu & Taylor). They seriously are so comfortable and the cutest things I’ve ever tried. Who would have thought that I could love shoes that have the same Velcro I use for my son’s shoes? That is what I call an amazing product, Velcro on the top to make it easy to switch out your strap of the flip flop to match whatever outfit you’re wearing that day! Isn’t that that the smartest thing ever?

So if you are anything like me you put on one top then you try to find the pants you’ll wear for the day. You look everywhere can’t find them so you put on a different pair of course they don’t match the top you’re wearing. So you try on a different top, of course this one fits tight. So you switch it out to a different one, by this time you’re frustrated and sweaty! Remind you of one of your days? Sadly I have this one often while getting ready for work. This also could be the reason I have one pair of dress shoes I go to every day! Yes you know were I’m going here, Switch Flops are so easy to change out to match whatever top and bottom I finally decide on with little effort and no more sweat. Hey my deodorant can handle only so much tugging and pulling. Thank you Switch Flops for giving me one item that causes less frustration!

A little about this amazing company and my new hero who created Switch Flops:

Lindsay Phillips is the energetic inspiration and founding force behind SwitchFlops. Her footwear concept evolved from a high school art project—ceramic flip flops. Amazed by the response, Lindsay began designing functional flops with colorful straps, each adorned by a unique button. Her idea evolved when she realized that by using Velcro she could create one shoe with many straps–unlimited choices with minimal effort. This simple, yet brilliant innovation was the birth of SwitchFlops. Lindsay applied for a patent on her idea before she graduated high school.

WIN IT: THREE lucky readers will receive a pair of Switch Flops of their own! Mandatory go to Switch Flops website and tell me what set you would choose if you won!

I had ok I should say Cole had the opportunity to try out the most amazing Ethan Emb Blue Gingham with Whales. It was the nicest set Cole has ever worn. He just looked so darn adorable in it!

Cole wore this beautiful Bei Bambini to a birthday party this past weekend. Yes I was so proud that he kept it clean almost the whole time! But don't worry it was so easy to clean and came out looking brand new! YEAH I love when clothes can be beautiful and wash just as beautiful. Yes with boys it's the little things in life that make this mom so happy. Yes stick with those little things :).

(CLOSED) Fun In the Sun Day 6 ~ Bummis Giveaway (1 Winner)

<br /><center><a href="http://mom2mycrazy2.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s1/aproffitt79/07_beach-4.jpg" /></a></center><br />

I had the pleasure to try out the cutest and wonderful diaper cover! I'm in love with Bummis Diaper Covers. Caden just thought he was to cool running around the lake front in his Bummis. He was the hit of the party everyone kept coming up and looking at his bum. He would just turn around give them a funny look and say "MINE". It was too flippin cute!

Talk about durable, yes that is Caden below playing in the sand box! It was so easy I just popped them in the wash (yes I wash every night, don't you) and out them came looking new!

Even if you don't use cloth diapers the Bummis Diaper Covers are perfect to cover diapers. So much easier and hello cost effective to use a Bummis Diaper Covers instead of those swimmer things. And you know this girl price first and of course Environment also. I love when those two worlds can come together :).

Some amazing things that I loved about Bummis I just had to share:

This version of the Bummi Original comes with an exterior layer of cotton
in fun prints. It has the same features as the Bummi Original, and comes in the same sizes, except that it is not available in NEWBORN.

The same care instructions apply to this diaper cover as apply to the Bummi Original. As well, we do not recommend this product for nighttime use, or for super heavy wetters. If the diaper is allowed to become very wet, eventually the
cotton exterior will absorb the moisture.

Some Great things about the company, really you'll be just as impressed as me:

Bummis was started by mothers using cloth diapers on their own babies. At that time, there was a serious lack of good quality, affordable diaper covers on the market. So we set out to fill that niche - designing products that would work on our own babies. Fifteen years later we are still a company owned by mothers! We have grown and changed a lot (as have our babies), but our focus is the same.

We believe that good quality, easy to use & affordable diaper covers make it easy to use cloth diapers. We encourage parents to use cloth diapers because of the many benefits to be had in terms of health, cost, and the environment.

Impressed aren't you! First off I love to find amazing products by moms, we are of course the best thinkers :). And their goals are exactly what I look for when I'm researching. With times tough I do even more research, I want the best bang for my buck, items that are good for my kids along with ones that actually work and of course I love to treat the Earth well! Bummis brought all my goals to me and I'm thrilled to share them with you also.

Bummis has generously offered one of my readers Bummis Swimmi Size M (15-22lbs) ~ See Picture (Right ---}) of the Swimmi you'll receive:

WIN IT: Mandatory got to Bummis website and tell me what other Product you would like!

Fun In the Sun Day 5 ~ Natural Bath and Body Review

<br /><center><a href="http://mom2mycrazy2.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s1/aproffitt79/07_beach-4.jpg" /></a></center><br />

Here we go, after you check out this amazing product here make sure you go over and check out Misadventures in Baby Raising and her amazing giveaways and reviews too!

Wow this has been a wild week and I'm in some need of pampering! Yes and I have found the perfect place to start my pampering! Natural Bath & Body Shop has the most incredible line of lushes goods, check them out for Loofah, Sea Sponges, Organic Soaps ... and so much more!

Natural Bath & Body Shop were so nice and sent me 3 amazing products to try out. I felt like a queen. I actually locked myself in the bathroom, that last a total of 7 minutes (yes I counted) before the turds I call children broke threw the door ... hmmmm I'm thinking they had help from the man formally known as my husband (currently I'm calling him other names).

Back to the wonderful products I had the pleasure of trying out! My first wonderful one was this amazing Loofah Back Brush (currently 15% off). The Loofah Back Brush is perfect for reaching those hard to reach backs and the best part it doesn't feel like you've scrubbing with concrete. Don't you hate those old ones in the past they are hard and don't feel so great scrubbing your back. Trust me Natural Bath & Body Shop Loofah Back Brush is divine, even with 2 kids pounding on the shower curtain you can loose yourself :).

The second product I got to try out was these wonderful South Pacific Silk Sponge - 3-Pack. Let me just say these sponges are wonderful to apply your make up. No more funny patterns that your fingers or a cheap drug store sponge will do to your face. Let me say these are a winner! Here's a little more about these sponges:

Silk sponges from the South Pacific. Soft, smooth, but not as durable as the other silks. Reasonably priced for quantity purchases. South Pacific silks come in three pack of 2" sized sponges.

Most Sea Sponges are harvested from Florida's Gulf Coast by our local Tarpon Springs Spongers. We also import unique sponge varieties from the Bahamas, the Mediterranean Sea and South Pacific Ocean. We proudly offer the largest collection of sustainably harvested natural sea sponges available online.

My third product I think was my favorite! Cleansing Gel with Aloe Vera that made my face squeaky clean (see ending picture below). It was so silky and believe me a little goes a long way. It suds up and felt so good on my face. Even when I washed it off I didn't feel that nasty film, it was clean and I was ready for bed no make-up left to weigh me down.

A little about the

Gel cleanser designed to remove make-up and impurities. Enriched with aloe vera, helps your skin gain the moisture balance it deserves, after an exhausting day.

As you know this crazy working mom can use all the balance she can get!

Natural Bath & Body Shop is a wonderful shop you must check out for items such as Loofah, Sea Sponges, Organic Soaps .... Plus you have to check out About Us page where you can see an very cool video on how they harvest Sea Sponges. They even have photos of step by step of the process. Check out this amazing company that is a slice of Greece.

Thank you again Natural Bath & Body Shop I truly love the products and know everyone will too.

(CLOSED) Fun in the Sun Day 3 ~ Munchie Mug Giveaway (1 Winner)

<br /><center><a href="http://mom2mycrazy2.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s1/aproffitt79/07_beach-4.jpg" /></a></center><br />

Here we go, after you enter here make sure you go over and check out Misadventures in Baby Raising and her amazing giveaways too! I'm so excited as many of you know my boys are notorious for crackers and snacks everywhere! Oh for you newbies you'll check out the found underbed series! So you can imagine my excitement when Munchie Mug Snack Cup sent me Munchie Mug to try out. Now all I need is to find a liquid version and I'm all set. Well one problem at a time!

The Munchie Mug is an amazing Spill Resistant Travel Mug. Yes I did actually turn it upside down and checked if the crackers could fall out. Oh don't worry I even tried it with honey goldfish those pesky little ones that slip out of everything. And guess what they stead inside, yes I even had Caden shake it around. Get this my floor stayed clean, Oh thank the Lord! Finally a day I didn't have to vacuum up cookies, oh don't get me wrong still had to vacuum up dirt but no cookies. Yes every little thing gives me joy, yes I know my life is so fulfilling and you so are jealous ... ha-ha!

Ok back away from my life and enjoy the wonders I bring you! The Munchie Mug is great it has this most amazing fabric that keeps the snacks in, but easily allows for little hand to reach in and grab a treat. And my favorite part, is it has a lid you can screw on. So many times I put snacks in a bowl, the boys eat a few and then yup it sits in the bowl and I end up throwing them away. The Munchie Mug not only saves my carpet but my money with keeping the snacks fresh!

Some frequent questions:

How does the fabric hold up to repeated use and cleaning?
We have had many Mugs in the field for over a year, and the fabric has shown little sign of stretch during this period. Over time and with repeated use, some “balling” and “normal fabric wear” may be noticeable on the surface of the fabric, but this will not affect the function of the Munchie Mug. Prolonged cleaning in the dishwasher (using only the top shelf) has likewise shown to have no ill effect
on the fabric or Mug itself.

Is the Mug sturdy?
The entire Mug is made from polypropylene (fabric is 85% polypropylene) and has good impact and tear strength. The Mug can take lots of dropping and normal child-type abuse with little or no damage.

If I have more than one child, how can I tell cups apart?
There is a small writable band on the lower portion of the special lid where names may be placed with a permanent marking pen.

WIN IT:
Mandatory got to Munchie Mug website and tell me what color you would like. Be careful because this will be the one you receive if you win!
