Chimparoo Carrier Giveaway

categories: Giveaway

Woven wrap soft structured carrier conversions are highly sought after. They’re beautiful, supportive but soft and stand out from their cotton print and canvas opponents. However, they can be very expensive because you must purchase the wrap and the conversion. Until now. Recently, Chimparoo added a new designer collection with woven wraps, Mei Tais, ringslings and TREK carriers made from gorgeous woven fabric: The Chimparoo Designer Collection. Now, the popular TREK carrier comes in both a standard woven conversion and in the new TREK Air-O that features a breathable panel. This helps keep baby cool while providing support. Enter to win your choice of TREK Air-O from Chimparoo below!

The Chimparoo TREK Air-O is made with the same beautiful jacquard woven fabric as the woven wraps and features a breathable panel. You can read Mama Banana’s Adventures Designer TREK review for details about the collection. However, unlike a wrap, it goes on and buckles quickly for shopping, traveling, hiking or even at home. The carriers are both beautiful and functional. You can see the product features and purchase on the Chimparoo website.

Chimparoo TREK Air-O Features Include

  • Mesh panel for ventilation
  • Adjustment and support system that is ergonomic
  • Comfortable, practical and simple
  • From birth to early childhood. (7-45 lbs).
  • Stretchy head support and seat for newborn
  • 3 carrying positions
    • Front
    • Hip
    • Back
  • Padded shoulder straps and semi-rigid waistbelt
  • Adjustable and multi-positional shoulder straps
  • Designed to be used with stirrups (optional)
  • Woven from organic cotton, certified free from toxic chemicals
  • One size
  • DVD included
  • Made in Canada
  • Jacquard Woven Fabric

Great for warm weather, for babies who get warm in a carrier and for seeing baby’s position through the front! The Designer Collection TREK Air-O starts at $210 and comes in Dandelion or Lune. Chimparoo does recommend washing the carrier before first use following their instructions.

For the giveaway! Enter to win a TREK Air-O in your choice from in-stock at Chimparoo. This giveaway is open to USA & Canada and ends 10/15.

Getting Kids Ready for Bed with Brian the Pekingese

categories: Reviews

Go to sleep! Please?!

 

This is often how I feel at 7:30 pm each night. I love my kids, but the bedtime battles are rough. Some nights are better than others, and some nights are much, much worse…

After many trials and efforts there are a few things I have come to a conclusion on when it comes to bedtime for the Fox kids.

 

  1. Routine – Kids understand routine. If you do the same thing each night, the consistency assures them and gives them the comfort they desire. They can understand what is coming next and there is much less of a fight.
  2. Full Belly – I try to give my kids a snack and water before bedtime. This helps that oh-so-annoying “I am hungry/thirsty” excuse.
  3. Cozy PJ’s – The more comfortable my kids are while laying in bed, the better their sleep. If they have soft pajama’s on there is less twisting and squirming around to get in that perfect sleeping pose.
  4. Bathroom Trip – We have the kids try to use the toilet, wash their hands and brush their teeth right before bed.
  5. Stuffy and Story Time – My kids love stuffed animals. Like love them. They each choose a few stuffy’s (as we call them) to sleep with that night. This give them a sense of comfort and security. After we cuddle in we read 1 – 3 books depending on time, length of book and honestly, my mood!
  6. Prayers and Lights Out – After our story time is completed we pray to Jesus for our day we just had, all our friends and family and for the following day. This gives my kids the final nod of the day. The “the end” moment

 

 

Brian the Pekingese is a special yellow dog that has come into our hearts and helped aid in our bedtime habits.

Brian is a dog that helps get your child ready for bed some of the most important ways:

  • Pajama’s
  • Stuffed Animal
  • Bedtime Story

At Brian the Pekingese they know that children’s pajama’s should be worn by children, not made by them. Sadly, this is a reality of the world, but with Brian the Pekingese, you can rest assured that all their pajamas are made in the USA. Using no flame retardant chemicals and 100% organic cotton material, you can just feel the softness and love behind each pair of pajamas.

 

They offer both short sleeve/short sets and long sleeve/pant sets, so no matter the weather there is a perfect pair for your child. We love that they have boy, girl and gender neutral prints, so you can shop with man options.

 

The novel – you can purchase here – is a perfect easy to read bedtime (or daytime) story. “Sharing With Friends” showcases the topic of sharing using the main protagonist, Brian the Pekingese. When he sees a situation arise, he chooses to share and make a new friend. I love how straight forward and simple this book is. It has some of the best Children’s book illustrations I’ve seen which really helps bring it to life. It really makes the perfect gift for a young child. You can buy the book separate or as a package along with the stuffed animal of Brian the Pekingese.

 

Something Special – Recycle Your Brian the Pekingese Pj’s!

That’s right, when your child out grows their Brian the Pekingese pj’s, you have the option to mail them back (postage paid) and Brian the Pekingese will recycle the cotton.

Fun Ways to Use Your Stamping Skills at School

categories: Reviews

 

Fun Ways to Use Your Stamping Skills at School

Stamping is a great way to get into paper crafting. It allows you to be creative, but it also provides you with a starting image or phrase that can spark that creativity. And one of the best places to be creative is at school!

Whether you’re a teacher looking for a fun way to get creative in the classroom, or you want to wow the kids and parent’s in your child’s class, these fun ways to use your crafting stamps at school are sure to get attention for all the right reasons.

Customize a Stamp for Your Kid’s Class

There are plenty of fun ways to use stamps. We’ll get to a few in just a second, but one of the best ways to use stamps is to share the joy of using them with others. There’s no better way to do that than with custom stamps!

Create a special design just for your class. Then, either use the stamp throughout the year for special projects, or create enough to pass them out to each of the students at the beginning of the year. They’ll love getting to use their new stamp on projects in school and at home!

Create Holiday Cards

Cards are one of the best ways to show others that you’re thinking of them. Unfortunately, cards from the store can be expensive, and they’re so impersonal. Instead, buy cheap cardstock and create custom cards for each of the kids in class! Create fun cards for:

  • Birthdays
  • Valentine’s Day
  • Christmas
  • Graduations
  • Thank yous
  • And more

Because stamps are so easy to use, you can even get the kids in on the action! Have your children help you make special cards for their friends. If you’re a teacher, bring stamps to school and create a fun activity that allows the kids to make cards for each other.

You can even create stamped holiday cards for other teachers and staff in the building.

Use Stamps to Create Goody Bags

Goody bags are a staple in any classroom. If your child has an upcoming birthday, or if you’re planning a Valentine’s party for your class, you just have to fill some bags with goodies.

It’s true that the kids will want to tear into their bags to see what’s inside, but shouldn’t what’s outside by just as wonderful? With stamps, they’ll think twice about tearing that bag to pieces.

Use stamps on plain paper bags to customize them for each student in the class. You can even use stamps on cardboard and wooden goody boxes. You may find that the kids take them home and reuse them.

The sky is the limit when it comes to fun ways to use stamps. From art projects to special holiday celebrations, you’ll have fun making things for the kids, and the kids in the class will love using stamps to bring out their creative side. Especially if you have special custom stamps made for everyone!
