Stuff Parents Need Giveaway:

Today I’m absolutely thrilled to bring you not one, but TWO fantastic DVDs, both with an Earth-friendly focus!

First up, The Magic School Bus: All About Earth. Darah and I have watched this at least 6 times together, and we both give it two enthusiastic thumbs up! This great new release from Scholastic features 3 all new, never been released episodes of the long running Emmy Award-winn science adventure series. It also includes a bonus fourth episode, for a total run time of 90 minutes.

The second DVD is actually a musical DVD, and it is called Marsh Mud Madness. This is from the children’s music entertainer Roger Day, and all 12 songs featured on the DVD are about plants and animals that make up the Atlantic ecosystem. It looks like the PERFECT video for any child who loves to be outside and who frequently gets dirty during play time!

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win a copy of Marsh Mud Madness AND a copy of Magic School Bus: All About Earth!

Mother’s Day BIG Group Giveaway Featuring MODE Cosmetics Bundle!

May 10, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · 174 Comments

The month of May is a special time to celebrate Mothers. Whether you are a mom yourself or you’re doing something special for your own mom, the Something Special for Mom Giveaway Event is for YOU! A great group of bloggers have come together to show you special items you might like to receive or give as gifts this month. You’ll be able to enter to win these great products from May 10th-26th thanks to the Blogging Mamas Network!

Be sure to hop around to all of the participating bloggers, in the linky below this giveaway, as they have some great prizes to share with you! Make sure you also enter the Grand Prize – a $250 Gift Card to Mía Mariú! One lucky Mama is going to look so pretty with all that eco-friendly makeup!

Mia Mariu Giveaway

My addition to the group giveaway THREE fantasic sets of summer essentials from MODE Cosmetics worth $22 each! The set will include the following:

MODE Lip Juice in Juicy Juicy
MODE The Illuminator in Aura
MODE Petal Rush in Wink Wink
MODE logo velvet makeup pouch

I have been using these products for the past few weeks,a nd I am absolutely nuts about them! The Lip Juice is this really pretty shade of bubblegum pink that would be overpowering if it were a matte lipstick, but as a shiny gloss, it is sophisticated and chic!

And the look and feel of the Petal Rush cream blush is similar. I was startled when I saw the color in person, and I really did fear I would look like a clown when I applied it. But as long as you only apply a small amount, the end result is very fresh-looking and natural. It is absolutely perfect for the summer months! Also, you don’t need much to get the effect you want. I’ve been using this daily for a few weeks now, and it looks barely used!

MODE The Illuminator is a new type of product for me. It is creamy and much like the cream blush, a little goes a long way. When you apply it to the apples of your cheeks or to your eyes (or really to wherever you like!) it makes that part of your skin take on a soft sheen. You look like you are glowing! The only ever time I have looked so radiant is when I have been pregnant. And I’d much rather apply The Illuminator whenever I like than to endure 9 more months of being sick all the time! ;-). I had trouble getting a good shot of the product on my face, so here’s an example of what it looks like on my hand. Can you spot the “glowing” part?

MODE cosmetics are a delightful find, as they are made with beneficial natural ingredients, have a fashion-forward look and feel, are made to last throughout your day, and are priced at a point that will make you positively giddy! Each item featured today retails for under $10! Can you believe it?!?! If you are in need of some updated makeup but need to keep your budget in check, you can’t go wrong with MODE!

Win it!: Time for that great giveaway I mentioned earlier!

My Giveaway: The Tortle!

More than a million babies each year are diagnosed with Flathead Syndrome in the USA. Nearly 48% of all babies 0-6 months old are affected by this condition. Tortle is a comfortable lightweight baby beanie that helps prevent and treat this condition, and that makes it a must have for new babies.

Flat head is not merely a cosmetic condition, but it can also cause varying degrees of developmental delays later in life. Additionally, Tortle helps provent a condition called torticollis, which is when an infant’s neck muscles become tight on one side, causing a neck tilt.

By switching the Tortle from side to side with each feeding, parents alleviate flat spots and neck tightness that newborns often develop, as the Tortle helps keep young infants from lying too long on the same parts of the head. This solution is affordable and stress free. Check out this video that features real moms sharing their experience with the product!

The Tortle is currently on sale for $19.99 at retailers such as Amazon.

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win a Tortle!

Under the Rainbow Giveaway Hop Featuring Unique Natural Products Gift Basket!

March 1, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · 197 Comments

Welcome to the Under the Rainbow Giveaway Hop, hosted by the Blogging Mamas Network!

From March 1st-17th, you’ll have the chance to win plenty of prizes from over 50 bloggers to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!

So after you enter my giveaway, make like a little, green Leprechaun and hop around to all the other blogs participating in the Event!

What will YOU find Under the Rainbow?!

Here’s my contribution to the hop! I have up for grabs a FANTASTIC gift basket from Unique Natural Products! We are really committed to using natural cleaning products in our home, and I always enjoy giving new (or at least new to me) companies a try. I have been really impressed with the high quality of green cleaning products that have come on the market lately…a notable improvement from even 3 years ago, I would say!

So today I want to showcase Unique Natural Products. Basically, what you are buying in these containers is a bunch of bacteria! These bacteria LOVE to eat dirt and stains. They are sort of amazing, actually! I have been using the wine stain remover (which also works on other food stains like ketchup!) on Darah’s clothes and have been getting terrific results.

We’ve also been using the pet odor eliminator. It is never exciting to have to reach for it (because it means that Hattie threw up…AGAIN…and usually on the carpet). But it is very effective, and I am totally at ease using it, even with a crawling, drooling, biting, licking, putting-everything-possible-in-her-mouth baby crawling around. I know I’m not actually even using chemicals! Everything is safe for humans and pets.

But perhaps my very favorite item of all is the Super Digest It. Drain openers are one of the most toxic items in most people’s homes. They are also HORRIBLE for the environment. I very strongly dislike them, but have found myself buying them in the past when I didn’t know that I had any other choice. Super Digest It bacteria eat the organic matter that is clogging up your pipes. No chemicals needed! Just nature doing its thing! Isn’t that awesome????!!! We are using it on our pipes once a month, now, just as a preventative measure to ensure that anything that is building up gets taken care of before it becomes a problem. And since I shed hair like a cat, this is especially helpful in our bathroom drain!

You can order products from Unique Natural products online or find your nearest retailer here! I very highly recommend them and have made a note of where I can go pick up more in Chattanooga once my supply dwindles!
Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win a gift basket from Unique Natural Products containing the following items:

Pet Odor Eliminator Ready to Use (24 oz)
Super Digest It (1 qt)
Carpet Shampoo (1 qt)
Unique Complete (1 qt)
Wine Stain (4 oz)

ARV for the items is $58.20!
