MomPact Blog Hop: Hugga-Bebe Giveaway Ends 9/18

September 12, 2011 by Ashley 14 Comments

Hugga-Bebe Giveaway Ends 9/18

My little one has amazing neck strength to be so young but she can’t set up for very long on her own. This is where Hugga-Bebe comes to the rescue! Have you heard of it? This is a Mom made product made just for this situation. Here’s what their website has to say,

HuggaBébé is a patent-pending, innovative product that allows children 4-months to toddler years to experience comfort and security while playing in activity centers, jumpers, walkers, and park bucket swings. Hugga-Bébé’s unique wrap-around design literally hugs your baby making those “one size fits all” seats really fit.

It has an adjustable bottom with three sets of snaps to grow with your child. The comfortable padding helps keep your child from falling over while in their exersaucer or swing. If your child needs some additional support while sitting and playing then the Hugga Bebe is the answer for you!

My thoughts:

I love that it is portable! It doesn’t just fit one toy but fits every toy, even the bucket seats at the park. I think it’s great that it’s lower in the front so she can look out over it but high enough in the back to provide support. The Hugga-Bebe comes in three sweet colors that will likely match any nursery decor you have. It comes in a soft green, pink, and blue option. The fabric is not only washable but incredibly soft. I have nothing bad to say about this product!

Would you like to win your own Hugga-Bebe? Scroll down to find out how!

MotherKnows: Review & 1 Year Premium Membership Giveaway ($98 Value)!

September 8, 2011 by Ashley 1 Comment

Update: This MotherKnows giveaway is now over and Shelly P. is the winner!

I don’t know about you, but I am constantly losing things. I try my best to keep everything organized and in it’s place but often when I’m looking something I don’t use regularly I forget where that place is. This is especially true when it comes to papers! Doesn’t it seem like important papers disappear into thin air? I think they do! My husband’s paper organizational skills are awesome. He keeps every receipt neatly filed in the order it was received. Me on the other hand, I have had to reorder my birth certificate numerous times and my passport once. Together we’ve come up with a really great filing system that works well if I can remember to put the papers into the filing cabinet.

Recently with the birth of our little girl we received three…that’s right, not just one but three forms to keep track of her doctor visits and immunizations. What’s a scatterbrained mom to do? I kind of panicked and told my husband that he has to be responsible for them because I would lose them. I suggested that we keep them inside our baby notebook and he agreed. Our notebook contains doctor info, baby milestones to be on the look out for, and our beloved baby schedule from getbuttonedup.com.

I was contacted recently to review MotherKnows.com and after I heard more about it I was eager to sign up! MotherKnows is the perfect way to store your children’s medical records, track developmental milestones, remember upcoming appointments, and have it all right at your fingertips. This is a life saver! We’ll still ~~keep~~ try to keep track of our paper records but it will be so nice to have an electronic copy that’s easily accessible and always there. Ahh, peace of mind is nice.

MotherKnows offers three different membership plans for you to choose from. The first is a free plan (who doesn’t like free?) where you enter all of your child’s information yourself. There is also a monthly plan and a yearly plan where all you do is enter your personal information including your pediatrician’s contact information and they’ll pull the information for you (once you electronically sign the release that is)!

To celebrate the launch of their website , MotherKnows is giving away a Free Child Fingerprint ID Kit plus a 60-day free trial to the first 500 registrants. Simply go to MotherKnows.com, enter promo code MK7 to claim your free gift.

Now for the giveaway!

Are you ready to find out how you can win?

Coffee-mate Natural Bliss Review and Giveaway

August 29, 2011 by Ashley 26 Comments

I love coffee and tea. I don’t take the time to make it every day so it’s a treat for me when I get to enjoy a cup! I was recently given the opportunity from Mom Central to review Coffee-mate’s new Natural Bliss Creamers and I jumped at the chance.

The Natural Bliss Creamers come in three natural, yummy flavors! You can choose from Vanilla, Sweat Cream, and Caramel. I tried them all and let me tell you they are wonderful! Vanilla was my favorite, followed closely by Caramel, and lastly Sweet Cream. Sweet Cream was a subtly sweet substitute for milk but I’m just partial to the sweeter flavors. Don’t get me wrong though, Vanilla and Caramel are sweet but not overly sweet. They are smooth, creamy, and leave a yummy taste in your mouth. I may start drinking coffee in the morning and tea in the evening. I love my Red Rose tea and my Keurig cups dearly. It would be nice to take a few minutes for myself and relax each day so I think I’ll do it!

Coffee-mate is giving away a free Natural Bliss Creamer of your choice to one lucky Embracing Beauty reader.

How to enter:

Leave me a comment letting me know which flavor you most look forward to trying. It’s that simple!

The giveaway will end Aug. 30th at 3:00pm EST. The winner will be chosen via Random.org.

Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Coffee-mate and received coupons and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

August 2, 2011 by Ashley 53 Comments

I just received an email from USA Debt Professionals and they have a giveaway going on now! They are trying to hit 100,000 Facebook “Likes” by August 31, 2011. They will randomly choose one winner from the 100,000 followers to receive a $1,000. $1,000 could sure come in handy, couldn’t it?

Not only that but they have offered me a $50 American Express gift card to giveaway to one Embracing Beauty reader!

Leave a comment here telling me you’ve done the 3 requirements!

I always promote saving money, spending less, and avoiding debt at all cost! Personally I have not checked into this site so I want to remind you to be cautious if you are looking for a way out of debt.

USA Debt Professionals may be great and perfect for your situation, I’m just asking you to be careful. Here is a great resource by Dave Ramsey that I think is extremely beneficial, The Truth About Debt Consolidation.
