Friendly's Gift Cards Makes Sweet Stocking Stuffers! + Giveaway!

I have fond memories of being a child and eating at Friendly's. After every school play, dance recital, or chorus concert, our family ordered Reese's Pieces Sundae's to go. I remember having and going to birthday parties at Friendly's, and special lunches with my grandparents.

Every year after pumpkin picking, part of our tradition is to bring the kids to our nearest Friendly's, and enjoy dinner and dessert.

This holiday season, when you buy $25 in gift cards from Friendly’s, you’ll get a $5 bonus card FREE! Friendly's gift cards are perfect for stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, and more! This special offer is only available if you purchase them in store, so be sure to hurry!

Living Rooms Direct $45 GIVEAWAY!

Everyone knows that your living room is the heart of your home. For our family, we are continually finding items to help round out our living room. We recently painted it this warm mocha color, and last year we got our leather sectional. I still have to try to find the perfect wall art, mirror and living room area rug, but my quest continues on.

While looking for area rugs and wall decorations, I happened to be introduced to LivingRoomsDirect.com! Living Rooms Direct offers a huge selection of furniture, couches, end tables, art for your naked walls, and everything you need to make your living room the way you dreamed it to be.

LivingRoomsDirect means shopping for living room furniture and accessories out of the comfort of your own home. You'll find pages and pages of endless selections in every color, shape, size, and finish available. They carry other furniture as well, like armoires, and console or entry way tables- (that's something else that I'd love to get!) I could get into tons of trouble at this website!

My personal weakness is mirrors. Small mirrors, tall mirrors, beveled edge mirrors, long mirrors, funky mirrors, round mirrors, it doesn't matter which- I love gorgeous mirrors! I have this large empty wall, and long for a beautiful mirror to fill it.. (or something else that strikes my fancy), but again, I haven't been able to find anything I loved. While browsing the selection at LivingRoomsDirect, I happened to find these two mirrors that I completely love. The sunburst style mirror is way out of our budget, but the rectangular one would be perfect for my wall! I still need to have my husband measure for it, but I think maybe this upcoming anniversary it will be joining our family.

LivingRoomsDirect has a new line of products called notNeutral, designed for the more bold colorful and modern styles out there. From pillows to trivets, and everything in between, notNeutral is exactly that! Bright oranges and greens, reds and blacks make up the majority of the bold pattens on this collection. The notNeutral line makes it easy to spice up a room, add a splash of color or express your individuality, creativeness and funk while accessorizing your couch, bedroom, or living room. If you tend to like more modern designs and bright, fun colors, check out their new collection, and tell me what you think!

Want it?
If you're in the market for any type of living room furniture or accessories, head to LivingRoomsDirect.com now and pick out your favorites. To our Canadian friends, LivingRoomsDirect now ships to Canada, too! If you purchase something from LivingRoomsDirect, please be sure to mention that you read about them here, on 4BabyAndMom!

Since 1991, Regal has offering this service to families around the country, and children of all ages love watching the popular movies on the big screen.

If you need to leave because it's your childs first movie and they made it 3/4 of the way through, you didn't spend an arm and a leg, and you can try again in a few more weeks!

The Best Vacations are Free!

When you think of a vacation it could be a week long getaway to a magical theme park or just a day or weekend trip to some where fun, interesting and local. With the economy in the shape it's been in, our family has put on hold most of our plans to vacation out of state for awhile. We've been looking for things to do within reasonable driving distance to keep our sanity, allow the kids to have a blast, as well as meet our individual interests.

My husband has a love for cars, like no other. The faster, (or more unique), the harder he drools! Typically, when we head into central Florida we make a habit of stopping off in Old Town to grab a quick bite to eat in one of the restaurants and check out the amazing vintage cars that roll through the streets during their car show every Saturday night. There are many little shops to browse and carnival fun for the kids.

While browsing the Kissimmee website I found out that this Saturday, April 17th (from 10am-4pm) the Town Center at Celebration will be home to some of the world's most exotic and rare automobiles. Admission is free, like many events sponsored through the year, and among the many fun and exciting things to do while on vacation in Kissimmee.

If fast cars aren't your weakness, you're sure to find something on the list of things to do from hiking, fishing and sight seeing in the great outdoors, to shopping and dinner theaters to enjoy with the entire family. Kissimmee truly is the heart of Florida, and from now until May 22nd, 2009 you can enter the Freedom to Enjoy Kissimmee Sweepstakes for your chance to win a fabulous 6-night vacation for 4 including air fare and rental car!

Mainstays Plug In Air Freshener Review and Giveaway!

I LOVE candles, scented oils, melting tarts, and all plug in type air fresheners. I can never have enough yummy smelling scents around the house but because my sinuses are sensitive, I cannot have floral scents or strong perfumey scents, and often find myself sticking to the sweet foods or earthy autumn scents. (Think: apples and cinnamon, pumpkin spice, etc).

So the other day, overwhelmed by two children in diapers, I declared my independence and left my husband to fend for himself and all three children and headed to Wal-mart. I seriously used to live in Target and Wal-mart before NewBaby came around... but now, it's too difficult with a clingy toddler and a needy newborn. I'm a label reader, and well, reading labels is rather difficult when between every other word there's a "MOMMYYYYYY!!!" or a squeak from underneath the mountains of blankets. I digress...

Anyway, as I'm walking through the aisles, I notice that they finished the new Mainstays candle aisle, so I turn my cart and narrowly avoid a head on collision with a frazzled mom juggling twin toddlers and two pink candles. I smile as she apologizes- why do we always feel the need to apologize for our crazy children? It's not like her kids were frazzling me.. So I get into the aisle, situate myself near the beginning, as the echoes of a babbling brook (playing out of one of those buttoned machines) turns the aisle into my own personal getaway. I begin sniffing all of the candles, and stumble upon cranberry mandarin. Holy Yum, Batman!! What could be better?Oh yeah, it's available in a plug-in style air freshener- You wanna know what's even better than that?? It was only $4.74!! You have no idea, I wanted to screetch with happiness! There's only two scents in the regular plug ins that I can tolerate, and the fancy Febreze versions are too expensive, unless you have double coupons and a money maker deal at Walgreens. This plug-in scent holder part is glass, and the picture really does it no justice- it looks more "upscale" than it's price. Once the fragrance is used up, the glass refills are readily available and interchangable.

I am so in love with this product, (and the scent!), that I wanted to share my happiness with you all, so I am offering one lucky reader a $10 Wal-mart gift card, so you can go and check out their new line of home fragrance scents and purchase your favorite plug-in! My only rule for this one, is whoever wins this one, you need to drop me a line and let me know which one you picked out, and how much you love it!

Here's how to win:

• Leave me a comment on which room you need to freshen up and why.
• Post this giveaway on your blog, and include a link back.
• Add a button to your blog.
• Email at least 3 of your friends and CC me at 4BabyAndMom [at] gmail [dot] com

Teething Bling~Review and Giveaway! Day 13~Fabulous February Fiesta!

Ok I know, I'm late again today! In my defense, I had to bring the baby to the doctor and I was soooo sick today. The reviews and giveaways that are posted today and tomorrw are going to be extended a few days to pull me through the weekend, so I can hopefully feel better and get things pumping again next week! Thank you to those who have sent "get well soon" wishes and prayers, they are always greatly appreciated!

Onto the fun stuff!!
I never heard of Teething Bling, until I saw the selection at Baby Sweet Pea. At Baby Sweet Pea, you can browse their variety of baby items from Christening rompers, to adorable clothing sets, to wraps to carry your pumpkin with, and so much more!

When Alex was born, I told Brian to stop buying me any jewelry, because like all the other babies out there, as soon as I wore a necklace or bracelet, my son needed to grab it and pull, with the almightiest of strength! How in the world did this 10 pounder break EVERY.SINGLE.NECKLACE he grabbed?! Silver, gold, platinum.. it didn't matter within a couple of days, *snap* it would break. So all of my necklaces were banished, and only reappeared on special occasions. All of my kid-less friends would wear their funky chunky beaded necklaces, and my neck stood alone and bare.

After bottle feeding ended I celebrated the day, and went out and started buying necklaces again, knowing that the days of snapped chains and elastic were long gone. Little did I know that soon God would put the needs of a preemie baby girl into our hands, and bottle feedings were going to begin all over again.

NewBaby almost broke one of my necklaces with her super-human infant strength, and after that, I limited my jewelry to only one chain that I own. It's adjustable, by just a pull of a charm, and presto!- it's out of reach. Then when Baby Sweet Pea contacted me and offered for me to try their Teething Bling, I was intrigued and couldn't wait for my package to arrive!

As soon as I got it, I put it on! I love how stylish it is!! I got the "brown snowflake" pattern, because I wear a ton of earthy colors, and thought that that would go with more outifits. The baby is too young to gnaw on it, but she does grab it all the time! I love the fact that it's made from the highest-quality, phthalate-free, federally approved silicone and that the material is non-toxic, latex-free, food safe, even dishwasher-friendly! It is the same silicone used in many other popular teething products and SGS test reports are available upon request from Baby Sweet Pea. The breakaway clasp ensures that if she gives a great big solid tug, if it comes apart, it can snap back together again!

I've never seen a product like this before, but what an awesome product it is! It's a great buy, (only $19), but it's a teether, a fashion necklace, and something to keep little hands occupied all at the same time. This necklace has allowed me to wear other shorter necklaces at the same time, and has kept NewBaby's little hands off of them! I am so excited to own my own Teething Bling!

Want it? Head over to Baby Sweet Pea and check out their selection of colors, shapes and sizes! They even have bracelets!! At the check-out apply the code FIESTA to receive a 15% discount!

Win it! Our friends at Baby Sweet Pea are offering our readers their choice of one Teething Bling Donut, Heart Shaped Pendant, or Key-Chain in which ever color you choose!

Here's how!

• Go over to Baby Sweet Pea and check out their selection of baby products. Check out their Teething Bling styles mentioned above, and come back here and let me know which one you want to WIN- Don't forget to name which style, shape AND COLOR choice!!

ME4Kidz Review & Giveaway~ Fiesta Day #11

When I received my package from ME4Kidz, I was so excited! I'm one of those people that try really hard to keep an organized baby bag, but then a sippy cup leaks or the great cheerio massacre happens while I'm making a left hand turn, and well... things don't look as pretty as intended! All of our first aid type stuff (which was about three band-aids, and a thing of Neosporin), was in a very old plastic baggie, barely hanging on. The diaper changing stuff was placed in all the compartments that they typically belong in, but when it was time to use them, they were never where I grabbed. I needed help, badly, and that's where the MediBuddy and Diaper Bag Buddy came in to the rescue!

Both of these kits are sized perfectly to slip into one of those sleeves on the inside or outside side of your diaper bag.. you know the place that the bottles or Desitin are now? But they are made out of sturdy recycled, lead free plastic that even while you're banging through the tiny aisles in Target, will stay where they are, and so will the products inside of them!

The Diaper Bag Buddy is full of all of your "Baby Basics" which is great when you're on the go, and accidentally run out of wipes, or don't have something you need because you left it on the changing table. Packaged individually, there is a ton of all natural & organic products that are safe for babies skin. It's jam packed with diaper rash ointment, tush wipes, a disposable thermometer, aloe vera gel, moisturizer and even shampoo and body wash! LOVE it!

The Medibuddy is overflowing with first aid products for your child! In this kit, you'll find adorable latex free crayon bandages, a larger knee/elbow bandage, a sting relief pad (Oh, how I wish I had this three months ago, when Alex got stung for the first time!), gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, burn cream, and antibiotic ointment, plus happy face stickers to make your little one feel better after their big boo-boo! There's even a coupon code included for a free refill! You can't get better than this, ANYWHERE!

My kids see the Medibuddy come out when they're hurt, and right away start asking for which color crayon bandage or which smiley face sticker they want, and the pain from their scrapes seem to vanish immediately! I am so happy that I found these products, I can honestly say that I am going to be recommending this product to all of my mommy friends!

The customer service and communication with ME4Kidz, is really outstanding! It's very important for me to find companies that still communicate with their buyers, and ME4Kidz was awesome at answering all of my questions personally and quickly.. and made me feel like *my* needs for first aide for my famiy were the most important. ME4Kidz is also family owned and operated, their products are MADE IN THE USA, and they give back 10% of their sales to help the disabled communities! Qualities like that, unfortunately, are very rare in today's society but after my experience with ME4Kidz, I knew that I had to share this all with my readers!

Want it?
Head to ME4Kidz and browse their entire line of first aid products for children and families. Next time you're at Toys R Us, Babies R Us or Target, check the aisles for ME4Kidz products!

Win It!
Our Friends from ME4Kidz have offered a 4BabyAndMom reader their choice of their favorite "Buddy"!

Here's How!

Moby Wrap review and Giveaway!~Fabulous Fiesta Day #10

When we found out that we were getting NewBaby, I panicked! All of our baby stuff we got rid of three weeks prior in a yard sale, on craigslist and on Ebay. We had decided that if we had another baby we would buy all new things, because it wouldn't be for another couple of years, blah, blah, blah! Thankfully, I have an amazing group of friends, neighbors and family members that helped us out and gave and loaned us everything under the sun a newborn would need. One of my friends offered me her Moby Wrap and I accepted. I had heard such amazing reviews after I had Abbie that I *almost* bought one, but I was afraid that it would be like all the other wraps and carriers I've tried before.

I'm a bigger woman, (height and weight), and my back, since having kids, hasn't been all that great. Most carriers I've used cuts into my shoulders or digs into my love handles, or doesn't redistribute the weight evenly at all! I end up needing a massage from my husband at the end of the day, and barely able to move the next because of the strain on my back. So obviously, you see why I was a little reluctant- but after she showed me how to use it, I became excited!

When I came home, I pulled it out of the box and showed Brian. He was happy that I was so thrilled, but asked if he should buy more massage oil. I wrapped the Moby Wrap around me, and flipped it over my shoulders, finished securing it into place and put the baby in it. Brian looked at me as if I was a kung-fu princess that just did some wild kick-flip-hi-ya thing.. and then looked at the baby and was amazed at how comfy she looked and that she could actually still breathe while in it. He didn't believe me when I told him that I wouldn't be hurting later, in fact I think he said it was "impossible".

At the end of the night, after cooking, putting two kids to bed and sweeping the floor, while wearing NewBaby the whole time, I unwrapped her, laid her in bed and folded my Moby Wrap as I headed into the shower. Bri asked me again how my shoulders and my back felt, and honestly for the first time ever, (after wearing a baby for ANY amount of time), I could say it didn't feel like I wore a baby all night AT ALL.

The weight was evenly distributed, the baby was comfortable and snuggly, I even tried my neighbors 8 month old, just to see if it was different if the baby weighed more than 6 pounds! The Moby Wrap is wide enough that I could comfortably adjust the width of the pieces that laid on my shoulders, and then the little pouch that helps secure the baby is snug enough that you could feel comfortable doing just about anything with the Moby Wrap on!

The next day, I went grocery shopping with Alex and when he walked in the door, he bursted hysterical laughing. "Mommy, you gotta come look at this," he said through giggles. I walked in with all our bags, and my husband was wearing the baby in the Moby Wrap and loading the dishwasher with a big grin on his face. "See, I told you it was awesome!" I told him as I unloaded the groceries. The baby was snuggled and secure, and my husband was actually able to do things without being called away to a coo or goo or "hold me" cry.
