Safety 1st Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  The winner is Susan!  Congrats!

What are your plans this summer?  While my husband had planned an incredible New England trip for us, sadly, that is not going to work out due to the pregnancy.  We do have a couple of fun trips planned including a trip to Minnesota for a General Mills Eat & Greet (my husband and son will be in tow) and a driving trip through the South.  When my husband and I were first married, we’d hop on a plane on a whim.

Now that we have a little boy and one on the way, we’ll definitely be making more road trips (it’s actually really difficult…but not impossible…to travel with kids on a plane). This summer travel season, Safety 1st is offering a a “Summer Road Trip Safety” basket to one of you! Summer travel is fun and exciting, but it is important to first ensure the safety of your children in the back seat before you are able to sit back and relax.

The basket includes items from Safety 1st’s ProGrade line, all of which are crash tested by the Safety 1st team of certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians. ProGrade items include the See Baby Soft Mirror (for the backseat headrest), the Secure View Mirror (for the rear view mirror), the Soft Solution Roller Shade, the famous “Baby on Board” window sign, and a $25 gas gift card to fill your tank! To enter simply post about your summer travel plans.  If you would like an additional entry, tweet about the contest (be sure you’re following me) and comment once more with the link to your tweet.  Comments will close on July 23, 2009 at 10 PM PST.

Also, for those of you attending BlogHer in Chicago, be sure to stop by the Safety 1st booth to learn about the latest development in child safety. Side impact crashes are by far the most harmful type of collision for children; and Safety 1st has developed Air Protect, a groundbreaking new car seat technology to help protect against this terrifying threat. Safety 1st will be giving away the Complete Air car seat, the first car seat available with Air Protect, so make sure you stop by and enter to win!

Profuse thanks to Mom Generations for this giveaway opportunity.

Dropps Review & Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed!  Thanks for stopping by.  The winner is Jennem.  Congratulations!*

Eight months ago I received a sample of dropps laundry detergent in the mail.  I liked it so much that I never went back to conventional detergent. dropps is a biodegradable, phosphate-free, chlorine-free and NPE-free laundry detergent.  I love the fact that they’re so easy to use and create zero mess and zero waste! The laundry detergent is encapsulated in a little pac that dissolves in water.  You can use them on all colors and fabrics, with any washer, in any temperature.  Each little pac is pre-measured with just the right amount of 6x concentrated detergent.  It’s honestly the most convenient (and environmentally-friendly) detergent on the market.  I’ve tried all of the scents available and find them to be mild and non-irritating. My son has very sensitive skin and has had allergic reactions to even the most baby-friendly detergents. Since we’ve been using dropps, we’ve had no problems with skin irritation or rashes.  

Win It!  I know you’re anxious to try dropps!  I promise you’re going to love them!  I’ve got two 2-packs in Fresh Scent to give away to one reader, courtesy of Mom Generations.  Head on over to the site and take a look around.  Come back here and leave me a comment indicating one thing you like about dropps that is different than the detergent you are using at present.   Comments will close on December 26, 2008 at 10 pm PST.  One comment per person, please. US residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated.
