Bio Shield Technologies HandClens Review

Recently I was sent an alcohol free hand sanitizer that is safe for children under 1 from Bio Shield Technologies. I was mostly excited to try this because it was safe to use on my daughter and it's nice to have something quick, easy and effective to clean her up rather than have to run her hands under the sink and wash up....or if we don't have a sink available.

I LOVE this hand sanitizer. It doesn't not have an overpowering smell and it is a sanitizer AND lotion. I feel like my hands are cleaner and moisturized after using it. And it doesn't irritate Lilly's skin even in the slightest! It's really great. I will definitely be picking up another Hand Clens Foaming Pump once ours runs out!

Bio Shield Technologies has many other products you can check out too. They provide alcohol - free and green sanitizers, disinfectants, cleaners and antimicrobial protected coating technologies to schools, public safety offices and individuals wishing to keep themselves clean. They even have some hands free touchless dispensers!!!

Check them out! I highly recommend them!

Little Tikes "Neighborhood Market" Review and Giveaway--- CLOSED

The last 6 comments were not counted as they came in after the close of the giveaway.
Winner is comment #377! Congratulations Pixie13!

Little Tikes recently sent me their Neighborhood Market to review. I was very excited to receive this because my husband and I are getting Lilly a play kitchen for Christmas and I thought this would be such a perfect match with it!...Now Lilly can go shopping at her little neighborhood market and then take her food to her kitchen and cook!

As soon as we got the package, we opened it and started putting it together...it was pretty simple to put together...just screw together the parts. It took me about 45 minutes.

The next morning, when Lilly went into the kitchen, she saw her little neighborhood market and went right over to it and started playing. It kept her entertained for SO LONG! She LOVES it. She really loves the little cupcakes and the fake money and credit card.

Now, every morning, when I am getting her breakfast ready, she is over at her little market playing....it's adorable and it makes getting things done quite a bit easier!

Here is a little more info about the neighborhood market taken from the Little Tikes site:

This super stand is actually three markets in one! With a quick change it can go from a fruit stand, to an ice cream shop to a bakery!

  • Clear sliding doors for real shopping fun

Teleidoscope Giveaway!--CLOSED

Winner is comment #12!! Congratulations Josephine!

Everyone loves a kaleidoscope! Here's your chance to win a beautiful 5.5 inch long laminated solids woods with Paduk and other hardwoods teleidoscope! Kaleidoscopes To You is sponsoring this amazing giveaway...check out there site, they have tons of really great items that would make great Christmas or birthday gifts!

I think this is such a cool giveaway...this is a teleidoscope not a kaleidoscope. What's the difference? Well, a teleidoscope, you look through it just like you would a kaleidoscope, but with the teleidoscope, you look through it and it will make a kalediscopic image of whatever you put in front of the teleidoscope! SO cool! Here is a video to show you a little more:

CafePress Review and Giveaway-- CLOSED

Winner is comment #10! Congratulations Josephine!
CafePress recently sent me a messenger bag to review and has generously offered to giveaway a tote bag to one lucky Mommy Saves Money reader! CafePress offers the best selection of personalized gifts and unique gifts such as t-shirts, clothing, mugs, art and posters.

When CafePress contacted me I was very excited because they have SO many options to choose from; it is my go to site for fun and unique gifts. When I was searching through their messenger bags there were SO many cute ones....like this panda bag, and this monkey bag....but I went ahead and chose a bag that makes me smile every time I see it....the classic happy face messanger bag.

I really like this bag; the quality is great and it is the perfect bag to take for a quick trip with the baby somewhere. There is one large pocket (the main part of the bag) and a smaller (still very big) pocket on the inside and there is a nice buckle to shut it closed. I really like using this bag to stuff a blanket, a lovey, a snack and a diaper in...just a quick bag of the necessary things....but I noticed that it would actually work for my laptop as well....it doesn't have padding or anything but my laptop does fit in there and could totally work in a pinch!

I really just love CafePress...just a great site with great gifts and things for yourself! CafePress has offered to giveaway a tote bag (your choice) to one lucky reader! And just in case you can't wait or don't win, CafePress is currently running a sale for new customers...you can take 15% off your first order. Use Code: Premiere15 at checkout.

Entry will be closed at 11:59PM, October 2, 2010. An e-mail will be sent to the winner and they will have 48 hours to e-mail me their address. (I will put CLOSED in the title of the post when entry is closed) **Giveaway is open to U.S. residents only**

CSN Stores Review

CSN stores sent me some really great products to review and I think you all will be very interested in learning about them! I know that a lot of moms and dads think about getting their kiddos play kitchens for their child's birthday or for the holidays...I am one of those moms. We are planning on getting Lilly a play kitchen for Christmas and I knew that I wanted to get some accessories for her kitchen; so I checked out CSN stores and found 2 really great products to go along with her play kitchen.

First I was sent a Melissa and Doug Pots and Pans set. When we first recieved this set, I immediately fell in love...they are just the perfect size and feel very durable...and I LOVE that this is a wooden set.

I also love that not only did this set come with the pots and pans but it also comes with a spoons, spatula and oven mitt; it really is a great starter kit for a new play kitchen. And I think that this set is made to last through the years!

The only thing I wish was different about this set is the colors (I wish there were more options). The play kitchen we have picked out for Lilly is white with pastels so these don't really go with it but whatever...it'll work!

I also received the Learning Resources Pretend and Play Healthy Lunch Basket. I mean, what's a new play kitchen without some play food!?! This set comes with a shopping cart, 2 slices of wheat bread, 2 slices of turkey, lettuce, tomato, cheese, 4 celery sticks, 2 pretzels, grapes, orange and milk. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this little set. I think it is fabulous; the pieces of food are actual size and I think having this basket of healthy foods is a great way to help teach how to live a healthy lifestyle. I don't think I have mentioned this before on this blog, but I am a certified personal trainer (I no longer train as I stay at home with Lilly now) so I think it is really important to teach her how to eat and be healthy. Now, I am not a total health freak, I'll still get her a little cupcake or cookie set or something.....everything in moderation! Anyhow...I think this set is just awesome....nice looking, easy to clean..just perfect!

As far as CSN goes...they were great. There were THOUSANDS of things to choose from as they have more than 200 stores on their site. They have things from baby products, to cookware, and everything in between. The products arrived quickly (once again!) and on many items, they have free shipping which is also great!

I would highly recommend CSN Stores for your baby and well...everything needs!

Ecomom Review and Giveaway-- CLOSED

Winner is comment #53...Congratulations Josephine!


I feel very fortunate to be working with Ecomom again and providing you all with another review and giveaway! Eco Friendly-Baby Products from Ecomom sent me the green toys blocks to review. I was really excited to get these as Lilly has been loving blocks for a while now. She especially loves when we build a tower and she comes on over and knocks it down...fun for hours! OK...maybe not hours, but you know what I mean!

OK, first let me tell you about ecomom shipping...I can NOT believe how fast they shipped me this product. I chose the item in the afternoon and had the package at my door step the very NEXT day!! When I saw a package at the door, I wondered what it was and could not believe that it was the ecomom green toy blocks...SO FAST!! I love it!

As soon as we got the package, I opened it up and let Lilly play with the blocks. She loved them! They are like huge legos! But I like them even more than legos (other than they are safer for her at this age...that is obvious) but because they are light weight and really easy for her to pick up, stack and pull apart.

And another important thing to mention is that this block set has no BPA, PVS, phthalates or external coatings. These blocks are made with 100% recycled plalstic milk containers! How cool is that!?!?!

I am really happy with these blocks...Lilly has been playing with them everyday since I opened the package! A definite winner!

I also just want to mention a few other things about ecomom....a few money saving tips even!

Ecomom also has this great new program-EcoPass. This program allows you to purchase a $99 annual membership, which gives you a 15% discount on every order, as well as free shipping with no $75 minimum requirement. Free shipping is always a bonus in my book! And ecomom offers a wide variety of products from the high chair to the lunch box, so definitely check out there site...Oh yes and they now have eco chic clothing...organic clothes for your little one!

Now the giveaway! So what can you win??? One lucky reader will win $15 gift certificate!

Entry will be closed at 11:59PM, September 14, 2010. An e-mail will be sent to the winner and they will have 48 hours to e-mail me their address. (I will put CLOSED in the title of the post when entry is closed) **Giveaway is open to U.S. residents only**
