We heart EcoStore USA

There are products that support you, so you brag them up and down... then there are the products that you truly just love, and they make your life easier... One of those many brands is EcoStore USA. I have been a constant supporter of them for over almost 3 years now. I use all of their baby line on the kids. (Even the two older boys). The baby wash is gentle enough for Ms. Rozzlyn sensitive skin... The Shampoo doesn't irritate their eyes and still leaves Zavery's thick curly hair nice and soft.

And one of our favorites is definitely the "Sleepy Time Bath". Its become part of our routine to add it to bath before bed. It helps to settle down the little lady and get ready for a good nights sleep.

 The best thing however, they have just lowered their prices AND they added a baby moisturizer. YAY! Guess that means Ill be making another order soon! Just to prove to you how much I stand behind them - I am going to give away a brand new bottle of their BABY SHAMPOO (because I buy like 3 at a time, HAHAHAHA). Why am I doing this? Because I love them, and I want others to get a chance to love it as much as I do, even at my own expense. ALSO, because they are trying to win a contest to get on the shelves at Wal-Mart, which would make me OH SO HAPPY to be able to pick up their line locally.

So, how to win your bottle of EcoStore Baby Shampoo.

Fun snack time! Frozen Yogurt Drops

I can't take credit for this one, but I can definitely say it is a HUGE hit in my house. Our new favorite fun snack is frozen yogurt. Simple right?! How had I not though of this myself!? My son Zavery just loves those Gerber freeze dried yogurt drops, but who really knows what is in that stuff. I like knowing exactly what I am putting into my little ones bellies. So anything that I can make myself, while still keeping it quick and easy is a win. So here it is... frozen yogurt drops.
You will need:Yogurt (any kind will do, though I recommend one without the fruit bits)Plastic Wrap or a plastic food safe baggyScissorsPlate (freezer safe)Container with a lid (I recommend the Nuby Wacky Ware Bowl & Lid)
Take your baggy and put your yogurt in one corner. I like using a single yogurt cup so I know how many drops it makes each time. I fill the baggy with that entire cup. With your scissors, cut the corner of the baggy. I would say just about 2 millimeters up. You want the hole small so you have control over how fast it comes out. Squeeze the drops onto the plate... about the size of a nickel and evenly spaced out. Don't be afraid to have fun with it! The boys like when I spell out their names with the yogurt... When you're all out, just put the plates in the freezer. They freeze quickly... within about 2 hours they are ready to eat! Just pop each one off the plate and serve. With your leftovers (if there are any, haha) toss them into your Nuby Wacky Ware Bowl... cover it with the lid, and toss them back into the freezer. Once they are frozen they can all be combined together. Though, be sure they're still frozen. It can get messy once they start to melt. These yogurt drops have replaced dessert on our house. The kids are so excited to eat them after dinner, and I am more than happy to serve them.
Hope you enjoyed our fun snack!<3RockerByeBaby

sleeeeeeeeep baby!

Sleep? What's that? I don't even know anymore. I spend so little time sleeping lately that I feel like it more like napping. Instead of saying "time for bed" I literally say, "it's time for a nap".  I'm stupid - and the one chunk of the night where she sleeps about 4-5 hours straight... I spend working, emailing, *ahem* blogging (at 3am)... Its just that its the only time I can get quiet, uninterrupted mommy space to get things done. Tonight has been one of those nights that Ms. Rozzlyn has been awake about every 1-2 hours because her teeth are bugging her :( I need to get her one of these cool Twista Rattles from Nuby.
 I bet she would love chomping away at it! Can you believe it!? My teeny baby girl is already 5 months old, and teething! And sitting up in her bumbo, and eating food, and playing, and sleeping in her crib... and... and... and...... *tears* Where has the time gone? I could cry. She needs to slow down that whole growing thing and just be my baby girl for a little while. Well - time for a nap... daddy is snoring away on the couch, so I think thats my sign to get us both in bed... even if just for a couple hours. Sweet dreams all!

Giveaway #11: TZBurps

I am a HUGE lover of all things handmade & plush - and TZBurps is no exception to that. This shop specializes in the CUTEST owls and birds out there.
"TZ Owls and Birdz! --Top 4 reasons they are the BEST and different from other owls: 1. made of all fleece which makes them 2. super soft to snuggle up with 3. machine washable-no spot clean only and 4. since all owl parts are fleece and sewn on anyone any age may enjoy them. Perfect to cuddle up with, use as a pillow or a decoration. You can create your own owl/bird or purchase ones that are ready to leave their nests!"I am absolutely in love with the quality and squishineas of these little guys... Im thinking that we will definitely have to add one to Rozzlyn's collection! They are affordable on any budget... the mini's are just $12-$14... and they go up in size style to around $40. She also has some mini options made of minky dot, that have crinkle paper, squeakers and some cute ribbon tags to be used as a great sensory toy!Since this is a shower/giveaway for Ashley, her special contribution was this little guy below... The cutest little yellow and gray owl (to match her nursery of course :) I can see him propped up in the corner of a crib... just waiting to be snuggled by the little man...One lucky winner of this giveaway gets the mini owl shown above, but in their custom choice of colors for the body, wings & nose :) Good luck!
