Miracle Blanket giveaway at Mommies with Cents
I have a feeling this might be a real sanity-saver for new moms and dads. The Miracle Industries Miracle Blanket swaddles baby so they can sleep - without waking from random twitches - and feel safely snug. Apparently it helps with colic! What a great product. Of course I haven't tried it yet but doesn't it sound good? You can enter to win one over at Mommies with Cents! I couldn't find an end date for the giveaway, but I'd assume in March sometime.

I am still in love with these little sailboat shoes from Jack and Lily.

Yes, I have done the research! lol. It's fun.

JellyBaby mat at Grab Bag Reviews

Win a sweet summer outfit for boy or girl from Noppies - a Dutch company that makes some really great baby and maternity wear! Life Starring Ellie and Eve is giving us the chance to win.
I found it hard to choose what I liked best in the baby outfits. I'm looking mainly for gender neutral stuff. But that said the clothes are so cute, I love the little skirt and leggings combos for girls and they have some sweet cargo pants for boys! Of course they have tops too. The maternity wear is great, I loved this one turquoise sheer cotton top, how pretty.

Wood's good!
I used to have a set of wood blocks as a baby. They were well-worn! I'm hoping we are able to keep the plastic to the bare minimum in our household which is hard with the billions of plastic toys and equipment out there. Not cool.
However, these are cool! A set of wooden blocks that put my much-loved baby blocks to shame. Aren't they pretty? They're by Design for Play and you can enter to win a set over at Mama Manifesto! The entry deadline is March 12th.

PJ's for your little peanut at DK Mommy
DKMommy once again has a great giveaway over at DKMommy Spot. This time it is for a pair of bamboo infant/toddler pajamas from What Every Baby Needs. I like these little frog ones, how cute is that? The site says they're for boys but really... when I was a little girl I was so interested in ponds and frogs were a big part of that. So I think they'd be sweet for either gender.
If you haven't tried bamboo clothing yet, go shopping! It is not only a sustainable and beautiful fibre, it is soft as the dickens and warm yet breathable. It's light enough for t-shirts but if you're one of those people like me who is cold all the time, you will love it. I have a bunch of bamboo socks and they're the best thing since toast.
Anyway, to enter to win some great bamboo pj's (there are other styles available besides the frogs), head on over to DKMommy Spot by the 11th of March!
Munchkin bottles at Mommies with Cents!
Everyone by now has heard about the hazardous chemicals in plastics, and any parent or parent-to-be has surely checked out their baby's bottles to make sure they are BPA-free. Here's a great alternative to plastics (we finally know about BPA - what else might be in there?), the old standby, glass bottles! Munchkin makes glass bottles with a difference. They are easy to hold, have oz markers, and have these great silicone sleeves that help prevent breakage and give them a non-slip grip!
Mommies with Cents is currently hosting a giveaway for one 8 oz bottle with sleeve. Enter by the 9th of March!

New Work Up on my website!
So... I'm a painter. Like, it's my job, dude. And I've just posted some new paintings on my website.
They're 'smalls', which I don't do too many of these days. But with the economy as it is, I've had some requests lately for smaller (ie less expensive) work. So if you're in the market for some small but entirely original oil paintings on canvas (no giclees or reproductions of any sort here, that's not really that cool), check out my website under the water, 2009 section!
This here's the Marsh Lake Study Mini - it's an eensy 4x6" oil painting on canvas board. I love the combination of early morning lavenders and pale golds. And it's priced at a very affordable $55 (Canadian)!
