Melissa & Doug Responsibility Chore Chart Review And Giveaway Ends 8/16 (US)
When faced with parenthood for the first time, many expectant moms and dads get overwhelmed by the amount of baby proofing that needs to be done.
As their child grows, new dangers and fears arise–what if my baby bumps his head as he learns to crawl and walk? What if my daughter gets lost in a crowd at the mall? What if our house (and all it’s intriguing outlets, doors, drawers) poses a risk to our curious child?
Thankfully, you can visit one website on the Internet and solve nearly all of these problems–plus you’ll be inspired by more innovative products to make rearing a child in today’s world a breeze.
My Precious Kid is a fabulous website and online store that sells ingenious and practical products that help keep your child safe from day-to-day hazards found in the household and out and about. Started by Kay Green in 2001, My Precious Kid Child Safety Store began with just one product–now they carry more than 100 items! Nearly every product they sell protects your child and gives you peace of mind–and you can be sure each item is excellent because Kay personally uses and tests everything she carries in her store.
One of the best products on their site is their original “Child ID Kit“. In fact, the Child ID Kit is so impressive that it launched the entire My Precious Kid webstore. This important kit includes 8 products that help identify your child and keep him or her safe in case of an emergency. In it you can find:
- 1 – Child ID Card
- 1 – Child Car Seat ID Card
- 1 – Medical Release Card
- 1 – Child Luggage Tag ID Card
- 2 – Shoe ID Stickers
- 1 – Disposable Child ID bracelet
- 1 – Child DNA Fingerprint Kit
My Precious Kid is so keen on keeping your children safe that they even host a Child Safety Blog full of important posts on how to keep your child safe. As a mother to four and a grandma to three, Kay Green is an expert at knowing how to protect your child! I highly recommend bookmarking her blog for future reference when planning for a new baby or a trip outside the home.
Besides the safety products found on My Precious Kid, you can find a fabulous assortment of other mom-tested gear and baby items. Their website is easy to navigate and you’ll find twelve categories of products on their homepage. Choose from Baby Feeding, Baby Gear, Baby Products, Baby Sleep, Child ID Kits, Child Safety, Home Safety, Potty Training, Personalized Products, Safety Education, Wearable IDs, and Sale Items and you’ll be taken to a new page that features smart corresponding products. As mentioned before, every item on My Precious Kid has been tested, used, and approved so you can be sure of their value!
I was able to review one of their products in their “Education and Training” category: the Melissa & Doug Chore Chart. Like the other products found on My Precious Kid, the chore chart is useful and educational. (To be sure, I couldn’t find one “fluff” item that would be a waste of money–every item My Precious Kid sells is purposeful and will be well used!).
Our daughter is just getting to the age where she can comprehend chores and feel a sense of accomplishment when finishing each task we give her. The Melissa & Doug Chore Chart is perfect for getting her excited about doing these responsibilities each day. It is a very sturdy wooden product that features 134 magnets–some of which list tasks and responsibilities (brush your teeth, stop whining, share, etc.) and reward magnets (excellent, awesome, you did it!, etc.). The chore chart features a white board below it so that you can use a dry-erase marker to make notes. Additionally, there are two blank task bars that allow you to write in your own ideas for responsibilities.
She immediately wanted to accomplish everything we set before her–those reward magnets were incredibly motivating! She even tried to get her younger sister in on the action by sharing and saying please and thank you. Needless to say, the chore chart was an instant hit and will be used for a long time–the responsibilities are something any child from age 2-10 (or older!) can be proud of accomplishing.
We were thrilled with the easy and informative My Precious Kid website, impressed by their customer service, and pleased with the speed of the product’s shipment. If you are looking to baby-proof your home, protect your children when out and about, or start training them to be responsible children, look no further than My Precious Kid!
WIN IT!

InvitationBox Personalized Placemat Review And $20 GC Giveaway Ends 8/15 (US/CAN)
ABOUT INVITATIONBOX
Every family has several milestones to celebrate as they move on in life and such occasions need to be announced for which invitation cards are sent out. That’s the time family and friends meet and rally around with heartfelt blessings and warm wishes.
Cards are a great way to communicate and demonstrate the senders’ deepest feelings of care and heartfelt joy and convey that the person is very much on their minds, whether it is to invite someone over or if the card is being sent to wish another.

ABOUT THE PERSONALIZED PLACEMAT
Amongst the several gifts for kids that are available at Invitationbox.com, the placemats are awesome products available in beautiful, eye-catching designs for both kids and adults too. Another feature that will please one and all is the personalized placemat where you can choose your favorite placemat design and have it personalized with your child’s name, monogrammed initial or something that your child may fancy. I for one, chose the “Friends under the Sea” placemat with the clear blue ocean waters and cute, colorful little creatures like a red crab, an orange octopus, a pink fish and a blue seahorse swimming in it, against a backdrop of red and pink coral. The little ones are transported into a dream world as they enjoy their meals.
This is one placemat that is highly recommended. You can see your kids’ eyes light up as they catch a glimpse of the colorful creatures and mealtime is fun as they chat animatedly with their buddies on the placemat. Moms will love the laminated cover on the placemat, as cleaning up after a messy meal is a breeze. And shall we say you get twice the benefit at a price for one? For sure because you turn the placemat over and voila! You have yet another pretty picture where the creatures have moved to different positions.

Zupers Long Leggings Review And Giveaway Ends 8/15 (US/CAN)
July 29, 2010 by Vivian
Filed under Baby Clothing, Giveaways
Zupers shop sells leggings, shorts, headband, organic tshirts and a lot more clothings and accessories that are designed for girls.
I was sent the pink long leggings for review. This legging is made of extremely soft fabric and its beautiful design allows you to match with anything that the girls wear. It also has little knee pads that protect the little fragile knees from any scars or bruises and keep them cushioned while they kneel on the floor or sandy surface. These patches actually make her look like a little super girl. The legging also has a secret pocket that lets her put anything she finds in her daily adventures. My little one loves the legging very much because of all these cool features that it has; the knee pads, the secret pocket and that fact that it is very cute and cool looking. Aside from that this legging also makes her look more beautiful while she match it with any random dresses.
I also like the organic t-shirt line by Zupers shop. Their T-shirts are very soft and are tagless. Any little girl will feel more comfortable wearing it. Their headband products also have matching fabric as their leggings. Little girls love wearing headband especially if it matches their outfit to make them look fabulous. The shorts that Zuper carries are also designed for playful girls who love to play.
As a mother we all care very much about our kids. When you have a little girl like myself, you would do anything to ensure your precious little one won’t get hurt while they play at parks or school play ground. The leggings Zuper carries offer the perfect protection for that. Scars are difficult to remove once you get it so as caring parents we always buy the best products that offers that protection. Zupers clothing helps little girls from common injuries such as bruises or cuts to the knees, this in term gives mothers more confident to let their kids a bit of play time freedom to explore this myterious and facinating world. My daughter is very playful and this leggings definitely gave me the confidence I need while I took her out to play at a park. It has definitely reduced a lot of the “Ohs”, “Aws”, “watchouts” and “careful honey” from me at the play ground.
This legging is best for everyday use. It is very trendy and in style for kids. Any little girl will love to wear clothing that is trendy and fresh. This legging would be a perfect style if that’s what they want. Clothing with extra safety for kids is a plus. The extra knee pad really helps for extra playful kids.
WIN IT!
One lucky Natural Baby Goods reader will receive a pair of leggings or shorts from Zupers.

EcoMom Organic Food Review And $25 Gift Certificate Giveaway End 8/14 (US/CAN)
As a parent concerned about what your child eats, you probably know how hard it is to find good children’s food that is tasty while still being healthy. But the search just got easier, because EcoMom’s online store offers everything you need to feed your children. EcoMom is an online store that commits itself to making it easy and affordable to live green. Their store offers products that are eco-conscious and environmentally safe, presented with helpful reviews and recommendations.
One of the many lines carried by EcoMom is Revolution Foods. Revolution Foods makes products that are both nourishing and for a good cause. They offer organic food that is especially packaged to fit well in lunchboxes, so it’s easy to feed your kids lunch on the go. But they also contribute 3% of their profits to their School Lunch Program, which works towards providing healthy school lunches to underserved children. All in all, Revolution Foods offers healthy, delicious food for a good cause.
The best way to try Revolution Foods is to order the Kids Sampler from EcoMom. The sampler includes 1 Organic Jammy Sammy Strawberry Jam & Peanut Butter, 1 Organic Grammy Sammy Honey Graham & Strawberry, 1 Organic Mixed Berry Mashups, and 1 Organic Tropical Mashups. I got some samples for review.
The Organic Jammy Sammy is essentially a sandwich, but in a bar shape for easier eating. It’s a snack-sized bar, and is made with an organic fruit spread and 100% whole grains. The Jammy Sammy is perfect for on the go nourishment, and is tasty like your favorite peanut butter and jam sandwich.
The Organic Grammy Sammy is a soft graham-cracker sandwich with a tasty, organic yogurt filling. It has no high-fructose corn syrup and is another snack-time bar. Just like the Jammy Sammy, the Grammy Sammy is a perfect snack you’re on the go.
Lastly, the organic fruit mashups are the perfect, mess-free way to serve your children fruit. The Mashups are gluten-free and made with 100% organic fruit. They’re freezable, which is perfect for the children’s lunchbox because, by lunchtime, the fruit will be soft but still cold. They’re also re-sealable, so the fruit never has to go to waste. If your child loves fruit already, then they’ll love the delicious fruit blends. If you have a pickier eater, they’ll still love the Mashups because they’re fun to eat and super tasty.
The Revolution Foods Kids Sampler was a big hit in my house. I kept the Jammy Sammy and Grammy Sammy in my purse for when my daughter needed a quick snack break. She loved the way they tasted, and it saved me the time and hassle from having to run somewhere quick for a snack while we were on the go.
The Mixed Berry Mashup and Tropical Mashup were my favorite for car snacks. I grabbed one out of the refrigerator as were heading out, and the Mashup kept her occupied and happy during the car trip. Plus, I felt good knowing she was getting more fruit in her diet.
I will definitely be returning to EcoMom for more Revolution Foods products and other things, because EcoMom has the best selection. They offer food that goes from the high chair to the lunchbox, and will especially come in handy when I have to start packing lunches. If you’re concerned about providing your children with healthy, high-quality food, you will be delighted by EcoMom and Revolution Foods.
BUY IT!
You can order direct from EcoMom.com and get free shipping on orders over $75. If you enroll in their new program called EcoPass, you can get free shipping and 15% off every order as well. The EcoPass is a $99 annual membership.
WIN IT!
