So I've been entering in giveaways for almost two weeks now and following blogs to read their reviews on products. As a stay at home mom during the week, I woud love to start doing my own reviews on products and hosting giveaways for all the moms out there.
I have had a great time entering into the mommy blog world and it gives me a chance to see what's out there for Little E. I have really learned a lot from the many reviews I've read and can't believe all the awesome things that are out there!
So, as I venture out to see what's out there and get my blog really going, wish me luck.

Dali Decals $25 GC Giveaway
Dali Decals is offering one of Baby Loving Mama's readers a $25 gift card to their site! To be honest, I wasn't too sure that I would be interested in the decals but then I looked at the site and there are so many different options, it's hard to choose just one!!!
After much deliberation and going back and forth, I decided that I want the "little girl with a dandelion" design. It is absolutely adorable and reminds me so much of when I was a little girl and would pluck a dandelion out of the grass, blow on the seeds, and watch them fly through the air. I guess it's my chance to reminisce and in the back of my mind, that little girl in the decal is me! Just because I have my own little boy now it doesn't mean that I can't go back to those innocent days of my own childhood!! Okay, a little bit too much reminiscing!!!!
Anyway, check out Dali Decals' website and look at all the great designs they offer and then head on over and enter the giveaway at Baby Loving Mama's blog!

LEHR Eco-Trimmer Review & Giveaway
Barefoot Mommies had an awesome opportunity to review the LEHR Craftsman Weedeater and LEHR has also given her a second Eco-Trimmer to give to one of her lucky readers.
The Eco-Trimmer runs off of a small propane tank like the ones you use on small camping grills and one tank gives you approximately two hours of running time. The tanks are fairly inexpensive, as we have used them before, and can be purchased through WalMart, Lowes, or other similar stores. To start the Eco-Trimmer, the LEHR website says it has an easy start. There is no choke and no priming necessary. In the Barefoot Mommies review, she says it just took one pull to get it going.
The Eco-Trimmer sounds like a great new addition to all of your "yard working" needs and the fact that it is environmentally friendly is another great plus!

Toddlers vs. Fruits & Veggies
TwitterMoms is asking their readers how their readers sneak veggies into their toddlers' diets. Here's how we do it......
Ethan isn't really a picky eater. Since he was small, he loved his green beans & applesauce. When he started getting older and was able to eat solid foods, we started trying him on different veggies so we tried broccoli. He LOVES broccoli with American cheese melted on top. He will sit there and eat a whole plate of broccoli as long as we melt cheese on top.
He also loves his fruits. When he eats his breakfast in the morning, I usually peel an apple and cut it up for him so he can have it with his pancakes. Nine times out of ten he'll eat the apple over the pancakes!! I recently bought clementine oranges for him to try and he really likes chewing them to get the juice out of them. The clementines are nice because they are the perfect size for him! Another one of his favorite fruits is grapes. For an afternoon snack, he'll eat a bowl of grapes and sometimes share them with the dog!
I've noticed that I don't have to "sneak" fruits and veggies to him. As long as he sees mommy & daddy eating them, he'll eat them, too. He doesn't really like us to add much to the fruits. We have given him strawberries before and added sugar to them and he will NOT eat them. He prefers most things plain, without much added. Thank goodness he's not a picky eater!

PUR Flavor Options Pitcher Giveaway
PUR has agreed to give one of Night Owl Mama's readers a PUR Flavor Options Pitcher. This is a great offer. We drink a lot of water in our house but sometimes you just want a little bit of flavor. In turn, this often leads us turning to soda and all that sugar! The different flavors for the PUR pitcher are sugar free which means this is a much healthier option. And, think of how much money you can save by using the PUR Flavor Options Pitcher.....this can replace all those sodas and flavored bottles of water you buy.
Also, PUR has been certified to reduce twice the amount of contaminants than Brita so that means it is that much more beneficial to you & your family's health.
Head on over to Night Owl Mama's review and enter to win your own PUR Flavor Options Pitcher. While you're there, take a look at PUR's website and see what they have to offer!

SCOTT Naturals Green Done Right Giveaway
3 Kids & Us has a giveaway for the new Scott Naturals products. It includes a tote filled with Scott Naturals products, a reusable water bottle, "green" light bulbs, Clorox Green Works products. This giveaway is a great chance to try out some new "green" products.
Since we're potty training Ethan now, I think it would be great to have the Scott Naturals Flushable Wipes. Not to sound gross, but sometimes the toilet paper just doesn't cut it for him and it's so much easier to use the wipes but you aren't supposed to flush them ......although a few have made their way into the toilet and caused some panic at flush-time. Okay, anyway, Scott's wipes are FLUSHABLE!!!! How much easier could that get??
Head on over the to "3 Kids & Us" blog and check out her review on some of the products and then check out Scott's website for their Naturals!

Zooper Waltz Stroller Giveaway
J. Leigh Designz is giving her readers another great chance to win yet another awesome giveaway!! Zooper has agreed to give one of her readers a Zooper Waltz in the color of your choice.
This stroller seems to be the perfect size....for me, our original stroller for little E is now too big and the umbrella strollers just aren't big enough. Judging by J. Leigh Designz's review, this has everything you would need but not with the bulkiness of some other strollers.
I've been looking for a new stroller for a while now. Hopefully I can try this one!!!
