Nanny to Mommy

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! I hope you have some great plans tonight or snuggling your littles close like I will be.

Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription box for newborns to age 5. Every month a specially curated box is sent to you catered to your little one's age. There are currently 3 subscription levels and subscriptions are cheaper the longer you subscribe. Subscriptions start at $29/month. I bought a 3 month subscription for only $13.50. This was my last month of the 3 month subscription I got for Peanut. He is now 9 months old.

I received complimentary products to share this post. All opinions are my own.

I received a complimentary prize pack from Click Communications to share this post. All opinions are my own.

My husband loves Star Wars and Phineas and Ferb. Yes, he thinks Phineas and Ferb are HILARIOUS and encourages our 4 year old to watch it whenever he is forced to watch kid shows. And I love that Phineas and Ferb did a Star Wars episode. So in honor of the Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars DVD release out NOW, I have these fun activity sheets to share with you and your little Jedi knights!

 

 

During this time of year what better to do than curl up on the couch with a festive movie? And with Netflix you don't have to leave your house to enjoy these classics. You can just stream from up to any FOUR devices! Also make sure to keep an eye out on the blog for a Netflix sponsored giveaway coming very soon. So snuggle up with a few holiday favorites...

I received complimentary dresses from Be Inspired Boutique to share this review. All opinions are my own.

I love dressing my daughter up in beautiful dresses. That's one of the perks of having a little girl, right? Recently I had the opportunity to review dresses from my daughter and I from Be Inspired Boutique's new line called Just Like Mommy. They have such an adorable variety of Mommy and Me dresses. I originally wanted The Aubrea Dress, but it is so incredibly adorable every time they get it in stock, it sells out super fast! So SweetPea and I received my second choice to review which was the very fashionable Simply Chevron Dress with skirt extenders.

No you can't be 9 months old. Time can't have flown that fast. It can't be your first Christmas this month already and time for me start planning your birthd... Nope...Not going to type it. Because then I have to accept it and I'm just not ready to.

This is a little round-up I've been meaning to put up, so I'm sharing it last minute. There is SO MUCH Disney's FROZEN items out there that this is just a small fraction of what you can buy for anyone who loves this movie!

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Charmin. I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

With potty training, we have gone through some toilet paper. One time SweetPea rolled off too much paper and put it all in the toilet...and then flushed! UGH! But we also have a septic tank and I need a toilet paper that I can trust to not clog my pipes. That's where Charmin comes in. Plus it's the Holiday season. And get-togethers are a must. It is super embarrassing to have to worry about finding a plunger for someone because they clogged your toilet, but also just as embarrassing for your guest to need one!

 

I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence-Central for Proacitv+. I received samples of Proactiv+ to facilitate my review and a thank you item for participating.

I don't know if any of you have this issue, but ever since I had my babies, I have had skin troubles. Including rosacea and acne. Acne...I don't like to admit it because I'm an adult who is closer to 30 than I would like to admit. So the discussion of acne is super embarrassing to me.

I don't know about your house, but ours is so DRY during the cooler winter months. Between the Christmas tree and the fires in the fireplace, all the moisture seems to get sucked up. Maybe that's why my skin is always so dry? I am a huge fan of humidifiers during this time of year not only because it's so dry, but also because I think they help when the kids get colds. Which right they can't catch a BREAK! They just keep passing this yuck back and forth.

I recently had the opportunity to review the Luma Comfort HC12B Humidifier. I've actually been using it in our home for a while now and we’ve been extremely happy with it. I love the style, the ease of use, and what it does for the quality of the air in our home. I was impressed with Luma Comfort as a company as well as with the range of products they offer.

Every year the kids (mine and all the cousins) get pajamas to wear on Christmas morning. I love this tradition and since SweetPea just turned 4 and Peanut is only 9 months, I need to go to a place where they have a wide range of children's clothing, but has super cute fashions as well.

That's where Oshkosh B'gosh comes into play. OshKosh B’gosh, a trusted name for fun, high-quality children’s clothing, inspires us all to #GIVEHAPPY with their latest designs and fashions for holiday. And with this exclusive coupon, you can score 25% off your $30 purchase or more!

This coupon is valid in store or online, use their Store Locator to find a location near you. Even if you don't have an OshKosh B’gosh near you, the online store features the same great deals and fashions!

Just because your children are a little older doesn’t mean they can’t still wear OshKosh B’gosh! Many people don’t realize that OshKosh B’gosh offers clothing for children sizes 0 -12! So while you're out, why not make a pit stop and make sure to #GiveHappy!

I participated in a Blog Blast Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B’gosh. I received an OshKosh B’gosh gift card to thank me for my participation.

Get your little one festive for the holidays with MAM Holiday Pacifiers!

Thank you to Woody's Jump N Play for the discount and Oriental Trading for the additional decorations.

My baby girl had SO much fun at her 4th birthday party! We went to Woody's Jump N Play, which I mentioned in a previous post is a bounce house party venue that is also opened on a day-to-day basis. This was our first time having a party there and they were nothing short of awesome. SweetPea, of course, insisted on a Disney's FROZEN theme and wore her beautiful dress that her nana bought.

This post is part of a sponsored campaign with Kayle Concepts and MomSelect. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It's that time of year where kids are making their holiday wish lists and moms are searching for unique gift ideas. I'm excited to introduce you to a new revolutionary toy that will is sure to be a hot toy this year! Meet Bluebee Pals, a new Interactive Bluetooth® Enabled Plush Companion and Learning Tool from Kayle Concepts.

Bluebee Pals is a huggable plush toy that sings, reads and answers phone calls. The advanced technology includes lip synchronization allowing the animal's "mouth" to move while singing and reading your child's favorite storybooks or learning apps. You can even surprise and entertain your family and friends when you use your Bluebee Pal as a wireless speaker phone!

This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Luvs. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.

Friday we went and saw Santa. How embarrassing would it have been if Peanut's diaper had leaked all over Santa! Poor thing would have been on the naughty list for sure! ;)

No tears, but both kiddos were a little intimidated.

That's where Luvs comes in. Luvs diapers is a trusted name in baby care and they know that the holiday season is full of stressful moments, but they don't want diaper leaks be one of them. This holiday, Luvs wants everyone to celebrate a Leak-Free Holiday.

I am loving my daughter at this age. She turns four tomorrow. FOUR! I can't believe how fast time has flown. But it really is such a fun age. She is really starting believe in "Elf on the Shelf" and she truly respected the power that Santa has when she met him. I recently had the opportunity to try out Portable North Pole and send my daughter a personalized video message from Santa. Below is just a snippet of my daughter watching it. I am still in the process of trying to upload the full video to YouTube. But I will make sure to share it on Facebook once it's posted.

I was so excited to received the opportunity to shop from BJ's Top 10 Toy List with a complimentary gift card for my little ones. BJ's has added some GREAT items to their list, including LeapPad Ultra, Transformers, and Hello Kitty!

 

Nanny to Mommy and Everything Mommyhood has teamed up with a handful of bloggers to bring you this fabulous FROZEN themed giveaway just in time for the Holidays! Special thanks to our co-hosts Our Piece of Earth, Bayou City Mamas, Metro Detroit Mommy, The Stuff of Success, and Found Frolicking.

This is our second year getting a real Christmas tree. We love the whole adventure of getting it and last year or tree stayed alive and beautiful all season long. This year, we must be getting better at picking trees because this one is even better! :)

 

I am a Pevonia Life blogger. As one I received complimentary products to provide this review. All opinions are my own.

 

Between two pregnancies and getting older, my skin has changed drastically. I now am more prone to blemishes that I thought were gone with my teenage years. I have dry, red spots know as rosacea that I developed during my first pregnancy and have never completely gone away. You can see it in a few of my pictures, most people think it's heavy blush when I have makeup on. My face is super dry, even during the summer. So when I received the opportunity to try out products from Pevonia Life, I was all over it!

I received free products from Mega Bloks to provide this review. All opinions are my own.

 

I have been a fan of Mega Bloks as long as I can remember. SweetPea got a Mega Bloks Princess Tower for her second birthday and has played with them non-stop for the past few years. I decided to contact Mega Bloks to possibly include them in my 2014 Holiday Gift Guide and I was thrilled with the response!
