Giveaway Opportunity at Minnesota Mama's Must Haves: Exederm Baby Intensive Moisturizer

While I was over at Minnesota Mama's Must Haves I also found a giveaway for some great looking moisturizer. Amelia tends to have very sensitive skin and I am always looking for different products to try out to help her. Not only will the winner get the moisturizer, but also a sample pack of Baby Wash and Baby Shampoo.

Head on over to Minnesota Mama's Must Haves

Once again, you have to hurry, the giveaway ends in half an hour

Giveaway Opportunity at Minnesota Mama's Must Haves: 3-in-1 Travel Bassinet

Usually I like to share giveaways I find for products that are appropriate for the girls. Of course, I am still on the look out for some great products for the baby, as he will be here in just two months. I happened to be hopping around today looking at Wordless Wednesday posts and I noticed some great giveaways over at Minnesota Mama's Must Haves. I'm thinking it would be really convenient and helpful to have a travel bassinet, and this one from QuickSmart looks great. Who wouldn't want a diaper bag, changing station and bassinet in one. Here, take a look:

If you would like a chance to enter this giveaway hurry over to Minnesota Mama's Must Haves.

It's nice to bring that piece of my childhood alive when I live so far away and remember reading books about snowy Christmas' on Christmas eve wishing I could experience that!

Come on over to It's Not Over Til You Quit to see how reading this Christmas book goes in my house and hear how you can enjoy Christmas no matter where you are!

Featured Blog - Allergy Free Vintage Cookery

One of the best parts of the holiday season is the chance to share special meals with friends and family... but what can you do if some of your loved ones are allergic to your favorite traditional foods?

Tiny Talk Tuesday: December 20, 2011

I am having a hard time remembering to write things down lately. And, as usual the ones I do write I misplace. So here is one from a couple of weeks ago.

This is what Tabitha said the other day after scratching her sister, "My hand just went the wrong direction
My hand just went the wrong direction, I was trying to scratch my own self."

Plus some of Hannah.

Hannah is saying more and more. The other day she said "down" and "popcorn." She will say and sign "more-mah" and "please--pleee." She still doesn't say much on her own, but if I say it she will repeat. She is constantly signing something that looks like bath. And if I ask her any yes or no questions I get a "uh uh."
