Giveaway Winner!

Thank you to everyone who entered the Seventh Generation Giveaway! From all your baby tips, it seems the most popular was to not forget diapers and supplies when out and about!  Sounds like there are some disastrous stories behind these tips! 

Anyway, the BIG winner was Mamma Mags!

Her tip was:

baby care tip: have everything set up and ready for night time bottles. have the water poured in the bottle and the formula pre-measured in another cup. then just dump it in, shake, feed the baby. saves a lot of time and frustration in the middle of the night.

if your baby likes warmer than room temp bottles, pour pre-measured water in a good coffee thermos to keep warm until that 2am/3am/4am/etc feeding. 

Please send me your address and I'll pass your info along!! 

Again, thanks to everyone for stopping by!  Great to see some new people!

And, because what would a post be without a picture of one the boys?  Charlie rocking a little tummy time!  Look at that hair!

Seventh Generation Baby Wipe Giveaway!

My sweet Paul will be three in just over a month.  I cannot believe that I will have a three year old.  Everyone is telling me that three is hard.  Like really hard.  Is this true?

Before you ask, no he is not potty trained.  Should he be?  Probably.  I told myself I wasn't going to worry about it until after Charlie was born.  Now Charlie is almost three months old, and I still don't want to worry about it.

Anyway, wipes are a very popular product in my house as we have two in diapers.  And I have two boys.  In addition to dirt diapers, they have a lot of boogers.  I hate the word boogers.  I hate that I am writing about them right now.  But you know who likes boogers?  Boys.  Especially two year old boys.  They come up at the dinner table almost every night.  But I digress.

We use a plethora of wipes everyday for booties, noses, hands, faces, and lord knows what else.  Recently I tried out a new brand of wipes from Seventh Generation.  I was intrigued because these wipes are free from fragrances, dyes, parabens, pthlates, and alcohol.  When I look at my babes, especially brand new Charlie, I can't imagine putting all that "stuff" on his innocent body.  Seventh Generation allows me to clean up the dirty work without the worry. 

The plastic package comes with a close able lid which is great because you can easily throw them in your purse or diaper bag or car.  The wipes are thin with the perfect amount of moisture.  Have you ever tried to wipe crusted macaroni and cheese off a toddler's face with a dry wipe?  Will not happen and will most likely end in tears.  From both of you.

The suggested retail price for  64 ct. of these wipes is $2.99 and they are available at Target, Whole Foods, Diapers.com, and Amazon.

The good news: 

Seventh Generation is providing a box of Free and Clear Baby Wipes to one First Baby Bump Reader!

Seventh Generation Baby Plus Giveaway!

With a toddler in the house and a new baby on the way, I am constantly thinking about what I am putting on their skin and how I can keep them as healthy as possible!  Seventh Generation now has a new line of baby skin products that I had the pleasure of trying out!  The Baby Sunscreen, Baby Shampoo and Wash, Foaming Baby Shampoo and Wash, Bubble Bath, Baby Lotion, and Diaper Cream are all products I feel comfortable using on my babies.  Check out these facts:

• First complete line of biobased baby care products
• Endorsed by Healthy Child, Health World
• Products are gluten-free
• No synthetic fragrances, phthalates, or parabens
• Tear free
• Non-toxic, biodegradable 
• Made with natural ingredients that come from plants and minerals 
• Extra-virgin olive oil to moisturize and protect

I love the Foaming Baby Shampoo and Wash!  It is light, smells great, and logistically genius that the shampoo and wash are all in the same bottle.  Paul is also a huge fan of the Bubble Bath.  Using just a little of the product provided long lasting bubbles for our entire bath experience.  If you can relate to how important this is to a two-year old, this product is for you.

As you can see, someone gave it their full approval!

I am also really excited to try out the baby lotion with Baby Boy #2! I want to give baby massage a try with this little man, since I have learned there are numerous benefits like better sleep for the baby (hello, who doesn't want this), stronger bonds, facilitates body awareness, boosts the immune system, stimulates neurological and brain development, and can help with tummy troubles.  Do we need any more reasons?  Plus, watch this short video and just observe how much these sweet little babies love the power of touch!

Win It!
