My mom and I definitely love things that sparkle and My Baby Bling has some of the best blinged out baby clothes, blankets, bibs and hats! The best part is that they also personalize - love it!

 

Not only does My Baby Bling make awesome items for girls, but they make fabulous goodies for the baby boys in our life too!

 

 

"My Baby Bling was founded by mother and daughter team, Rosemary and Amber Wright. It all started over 15 years ago, when they began a custom rhinestone business specializing in designs for dance studios.

After they "blinged" her out for her big day - they had an idea. Next, comes babies...and so My Baby Bling was born! We pride ourselves on providing only the highest quality apparel and making each design unique. With over 15 years experience with rhinestone apparel, we guarantee our products 100%!"

My Favorite Things - Buggy Love Giveaway!

As most of you know, my mom is really into organic, clean and green products. Not only is she very careful with the food she gives us and the bath products we use, but she loves finding non-toxic and environmentally friendly cleaners that really work.  She and my dad met the Buggy Love team this past January and fell in love with their mission and their fabulous line of organic stroller cleaning products!

My Favorite Things - Baby Basics Giveaway!

My mom is having another baby and we're all very excited! She's been putting together a list of gear we need for my new little brother or sister. Some of my mom's favorite baby basics products come from wonderful companies like Magnificent Baby, Organically Cute and Dolphin Organics.

With 3 children and another one on the way, my mom is well aware of how difficult diaper changes can be trying to get dozens of snaps fastened while managing a crying baby. Magnificent Baby is an amazing solution and an absolutely brilliant, award-winning product! What used to take minutes and often repeated attempts, now takes no time at all!

"The days of matching snaps on a wiggly, crying baby are over. Magnificent Baby's easy-to-use

Smart Close^tm magnetic fasteners will have your baby dressed in seconds."

Organic products are big in our house and that includes buying organic clothing, bibs and blankets whenever possible. Organically Cute is a fantastic company that provides adorable bibs, blankets, burb cloths and more. Additionally, this great company has a strong social mission, for every purchase made, 5% goes to charity!

"When establishing Organically Cute, we knew we wanted to give a portion of its proceeds to children in need and the environment, because both are equally important to us and our future. And that is exactly what we are doing. We have selected four honorable charities: Room to Grow, Share our Strength, Ronald McDonald House, and Earth Justice, as our main organizations we would like to support in our mission to give back."



My mom is also a firm believer that the products we use on our bodies are just as important as the food we put into our bodies. The creators of Dolphin Organics feel the same way.

"My wife and I made the switch to organic in 1998. We shopped at Whole Foods, bought only organic and local products, and thought we were taking great care of ourselves. But then, in 2010, my father died of cancer. Which was shocking since he was a lifelong farmer who ate only what he grew. Our question was why? It made us think very critically about our lifestyle and what we could do to be even healthier. We quickly realized that while everything we were putting in our bodies was safe and natural, the same could not be said for what we were putting on our bodies. The result is Dolphin Organics™. A line of personal care products for babies and young children, made only with natural and organic ingredients. Nothing man-made. Nothing artificial – not even the preservatives. Even our label is clear and honest, and shows you exactly what we put in there."

1 lucky winner will win a fabulous baby bundle of products - a Union Suit from Magnificent Baby, a cuddly blanket from Organically Cute and a Fragrance Free Shampoo/Bodywash and Conditioner from Dolphin Organics!
