Meet our guest blogger: Amy!! She tried out the new Nuby Glow in the Dark pacifier for us!

My son Phoenix is exclusively breastfed. Up until I got the Nuby glow in the dark pacifier, he had only used me to pacify. I wanted to make sure breastfeeding was established before introducing a pacifier, but I was certainly ready to get a break! The first thing I noticed was the cute designs on the pacifiers and I appreciated the glow in the dark, which I'm certain will make it easier to find in the middle of the night.  The first time I tried the Nuby paci, my son spit it out immediately.

I tried a couple times but didn't want to upset him so I put it up to try again later. The following day was much the same, but the third try I managed to get my son to suck for a moment before spitting it out. Now I am able to get Phoenix to pacify for a few minutes at a time, which is at least a break for me!

SO PROUD of our good friend Sarah for launching her business on Wednesday! Its called High Country Headwear and focuses on awesome hats for Colorado residents. But if you're looking for something a little more specific - don't worry! She takes requests of all kind! She made Rozz the cutest hats for last winter and we're ready for more this winter!  

She says, "I am a mother of two small children and started making basic hats for our epic adventures when I thought, what better way is there to show love for Colorado while out enjoying its natural beauty, than by wearing a sweet, handmade, Colorado hat for all the world (and wildlife) to see!? (I know, right?) And so... the Colorado hats were born. Boom."

So head over to High Country Headwear and get yours!  

This is the hat she made Rozz last year! 

We need your help!!  

PLEASE vote for us to win a $250,000 small business grant. We have to get 250 votes to be entered... this would change my life. I can't even being to imagine all the amazing things we could do to expand the business and to help others... The christmas tradition of donating to Wish Upon a Hero families would be a whole new opportunity... Donating blankets to kids in the children's hospital... I get chills thinking about all the amazing things that we could do with this grant. Help us help others...
