Babo Botanicals Review & Giveaway! Ends 4/20/14
As a vegan momma, I always try to use all natural, vegan-friendly products for my girls — especially when it comes to bath time. (Cos who wants to bathe in chemicals? Ew.)
Babo Botanicals offer a wide range of bath products for babies and kids of all ages (adults too!). All of their formulas are made with natural, plant-based ingredients. You won’t find any synthetic ingredients, artificial colors/fragrances, sulfates, parabens, or icky chemicals in any of their products. Aside from their lotions (which contain beeswax), all of their hair, bath, and body products are 100% vegan. Oh, and you can rest assured that nothing is ever tested on animals. 🙂
Not only are Babo Botanicals products safe for babies, but they’re pretty gentle on the earth too! All of their formulas are biodegradable and the packaging is totally recyclable. Woo!
I was recently sent a few of their Berry Primrose products to try out with the girls. How did we like them? Read on! [read more…]

I See Me! Personalized Book Review & Giveaway! Ends 4/21/14
I See Me! is a retail site that offers children’s books that are not only beautifully illustrated, but are also personalized with your child’s name, birthday, and more! How cool is that?
In addition to books, I See Me! also offers a wide range of fun, gift-worthy items — growth charts, coloring books, placemats, stickers, lunchboxes — all personalized for your little one!
Confession time! When I named my “2 little rosebuds”, I (kinda guiltily) knew I was giving one of them a bit of a disadvantage, name-wise. Now, Chloe is a pretty common name, so she’ll be alright… But Everly? Yeaaah… that’s a name I’m not gonna find on a personalized… well, anything… anytime soon. That said, I was more than happy when I See Me! offered us a personalized book for twins. Although she’s too young to appreciate it right now, I know Everly is going to LOVE seeing her name in print soon enough!
The book I received is called “Who Loves Me?” and can be personalized for singletons, siblings, and in our case, twins. 🙂 [read more…]
