Just 5 More Minutes! #StreamTeam

I am a Netflix #StreamTeam Partner.
Do these kids think we’re amateurs or something? Their eyelids hurt? They’ll die of thirst without more water? It’s like a big deja-vu when your own kid starts rattling off the same bedtime excuses you used back in 19-something-or-another. What these little stall-masters don’t understand is that you’re not clueless… you’re just too tired to argue.
Turns out, the bedtime excuses are universal – more than 60% of parents around the globe are dealing with kids’ stall tactics before bed, adding up to nearly 20 minutes every single night. But guess what? It’s time to take back your night with a little help from Netflix.
Next time you find yourself in the bedtime battle, just tell your kids they can watch an ENTIRE show before bed. Yep, you heard us right, and no, we haven’t lost our minds. Netflix and DreamWorks Animation launched Dinotrux 5 Minute Favorites, new episodes of the latest hit, all in a nice little 5-minute package -- letting your little negotiator think they’re getting away with the age-old ‘just five more minutes’ ploy. In a mere 300-seconds, your kids will be speechless as they march themselves up to bed knowing they got exactly what they wanted. You: 1, Kids’ stalls: 0.
 

A Bright & Healthy Smile from Firefly is the Perfect Stocking Stuffer! #HGG2015

These products are featured in our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide.

I don't know about you, but my mother-in-law started a tradition that I just love with her children and that I have passed down with my children. And that is getting a toothbrush in your stocking. I don't know why I loved this idea so much. Yes, my kids get toothbrushes at the dentist, but there are so many cooler options out there. That's why I am loving Firefly Toothbrushes.

 
While instilling healthy oral care habits in children can be a brush battle to begin with, getting kids to brush for the recommended amount of time after holidays full of delicious food can be extremely challenging for parents. Firefly is the leader in children’s oral care solutions and offers fun toothbrushes in bright colors, with flashing lights and favorite characters that turn brush time into playtime!

I love Zubels. They have a ton of quality, knit products that would make great gifts. Zubels has an awesome selection of holiday and Christmas items. They have Santa, snowmen, and reindeer sweaters that are 100% cotton, handmade knit. Plus handmade knit dolls and hats to match! They also have new holiday hand rattles and dimples that make great stocking stuffers or to tie on to a gift.


I received the Lil' Dimples Santa Claus, Ralphy the Reindeer, and the Toy Soldier in Blue. Each Zubels are hand knit with 100% super soft organic cotton yarns.

These products are featured in our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide.

No I am not pregnant. I thought it would be nice to feature an awesome gift idea for all of you pregnant ladies though because you deserve to be pampered too. Introducing Ecocentric Mom Subscription Boxes! But it's not just pregnancy boxes, they also have a mom version and a mom & baby. And I LOVE subscription boxes. I think they make a GREAT gift idea. I received this month's box and I wanted to let you see what was inside.


What I love about Ecocentric Mom subscription boxes is they have researched everything to only include the best, healthiest products for you and your family. You also get an item that is a "keeper", something that can't be "used up" and what is more eco than that!

Here's what came in this month's box:
