In today’s world, it can be hard to know what companies to trust and which not to. One thing to trust, though, is the test of time. Sevi and their magnificent line of wooden toys have been around since 1831, and have been producing quality products the entire time. They are the oldest wooden toy manufacturer in Europe, and you don’t get that distinction by producing subpar toys. Everything that Sevi makes upholds this long legacy of excellence.

The best place to get these toys, Silly Pants, is excellent too. Silly Pants is a website based out of Canada that offers only the best lines of products. Everything they sell, from Kinderville dishes to Bumboosa bamboo diaper wipes, is the best in its field.

One of their fabulous toys is the Sevi Work Bench. Although there are many children’s work benches or construction toy sets on the market today, none is better than this model. This wooden work bench includes everything you need to make a truly realistic work site. There is a level, wrench, hammer, saw and screwdriver. Also, there are several wood boards for “making things” and several size screws. Any child would feel like a real Bob the builder with this kid’s work benches.

Like all Sevi toys, the Sevi Work Bench is made with kids in mind. It is hand made with care and quality. Also, the wood is treated with a vegetable dye finish, which means even if your child licks every one of the tools, they won’t get sick. The dye is also eco-friendly. All around, this toy is fabulously made, and safe for your children and the environment.

My daughter isn’t the type to build things, so I wasn’t sure if she would be into the Sevi Work Bench. As soon as we got the bench set up though, she surprised me by jumping right in and playing with it. Her favorite tool was the hammer. She loved going around to anything, furniture, floors or even people and “putting them back together”. With time, she really enjoyed the other tools too. She screwed some of the boards together, “sawed” them in half and then mysteriously used a wrench to put everything back together again.

Although I enjoyed how much fun she had, my favorite thing about the work bench was how nicely it fit into our home. Sometimes kids’ toys can feel like an eyesore in the home, but not this one. The colors were rich and natural, and the wood made it feel like a real piece of furniture. Also, I could tell what great workmanship had gone into it. The bench was sturdy and solid, and could obviously be passed from one generation to the next .

I’ve always loved Sevi’s toys, and their children’s work bench is no exception. The work bench will spark your child’s imagination and start hours of imaginative play. It can bring together children of all ages and interests, and won’t get in the way like some kids’ toys can. Invest in a Sevi toy , and you won’t regret it.

A very beautifully crafted and stylishly designed bracelet I got for review was the Gold Filled 20K Pearl Personalized Name Bracelet with the matching earrings. The bracelet has 8 freshwater-cultured pearl, grade A sized 4.5 mm that are strung on a 20K gold chain with a lobster clasp and 1-inch extender, to increase the length. A 14K gold vermeil charm in the shape of a puffed heart makes it even more attractive and beautiful. The bracelet also has other 20K gold filled beads like the stardust beads, twist beads and satin beads along with the pearls and makes an interesting combination. The bracelet, which was originally sold at $82, is now on sale at a discounted price of $65. A noteworthy point, which I can vouch for about this bracelet, is that it is absolutely safe for people who are allergic to various metals and I simply had no issues with this lovely bracelet. Being gold filled, it does not affect sensitive skin.

Baby Bead Treasures website has some very pretty designs in earrings too. Drop earrings with pearl, rose quartz beads and pink hearts gemstones are priced at an affordable $18. They also have earrings set in combination with Swarovski crystal, birthstone beads and freshwater pearls.

Dipe n Go – The Perfect Changing Station For Your Minivan or SUV Review And Giveaway Ends 10/18 (US/CAN)

September 27, 2010 by  
Filed under Articles, Diaper Changing Mat, featured, Giveaways

dipe-n-go-logo

Moms traveling with little babies often face a problem of finding a convenient private surface or changing station to change the baby’s diaper. Most restrooms lack the facility and just in case you do find one, you cannot be sure that it is 100 % clean. Your baby stands the chance of picking up an infection, which you certainly would not want. On the other hand, sometimes the restroom is crowded and you have to wait in a long queue and await your turn, which is very frustrating and more so if baby is uncomfortable and bawling.

I would hate to change my baby’s diaper in a public place or in a restroom, as I am wary of my child picking up an infection. That’s when I discovered the convenience of using the Dipe n Go changing station and I could change her diapers in the car without any hassles. Dipe n Go changing station attaches inside your SUV, hatch back or minivan, and all you do is open out the Velcro fastener and spread out the portable changing mat. The changing station has the portable changing mat with large changing area, large compartments to hold diapers, wipes and baby lotion. The fabric on the mat is soft and easy to clean up after changing diapers. As you lay your baby down on the changing area, you have easy access to the diapers, wipes, and lotion all of which are secure in their respective compartments of the Dipe n Go changing station, which remains attached to the side of the vehicle. What’s more! You can easily machine wash the Dipe n Go changing station, so you never have to fear about your baby being on an unhygienic private surface.

Rose Marie Iskowitz, herself a busy mom, conceptualized Dipe n Go changing station for her little ones and became an entrepreneur almost by compulsion. She started her company RMI Enterprises LLC at New Jersey and because she had a fabulous product, leading retail outlets lapped up the product. Dipe n Go changing station is convenient to use and clean and has ample zipped and secure storage space. With different compartments available for various items, you need never have to fumble and search what you need.

With the Dipe n Go changing station handy, you can confidently take your baby with you whether you go shopping, for an outing, movies and even if you are traveling and are on the road for a couple of days. That’s the kind of convenience Dipe n Go changing station offers busy moms on the go.

If you are a mom you simply need to get the Dipe n Go changing station and see for yourself how easily you can change your little one’s diapers whilst you are outdoors.

WIN IT!

Online Drug Rehabilitation Portal

September 27, 2010 by  
Filed under Articles

Drug abuse is a dangerous social evil that has secretly crept into our society. It has played havoc in the lives of many people especially youngsters. One of the many answers that the society has extended is the drug rehabilitation programs that treat the people who suffer from drug addiction. Drug rehabilitation programs aims at helping those who wish to quit drugs by providing medical and psychological treatment. One of the well established names in the field of drug rehabilitation is Dallas Drug Rehab.

Dallas Drug Rehab have recently launched an online portal. The site provides details about the drug rehabilitation program. It explains why its drug rehabilitation program is unique and highly effective in treating drug abuse. Dallas Drug treatment also provides programs for detoxification before drug rehabilitation and drug rehabilitation after care programs. The Detox program is designed to provide professional help to those who find it difficult during the withdrawal phase. The aftercare program is designed to follow up on the drug rehabilitation process and also to provide help in cases of long term soberness.

Information about specially designed drug rehabilitation programs like Amphetamine addiction rehab and rehabilitation for opiate addiction is also provided on the site. The site also contains complete information about the cost of various programs .This helps you to choose the most appropriate one that fits your purse. Dallas drug rehab operates drug rehabilitation centers at Austin, Mesquite, Pasadena, San Anteno, Houston and Arlington. The website also provides contact information of all rehabilitation centers.

As pointed by Drug treatment facts provided by National Institute on Drug Abuse, drug addiction leads to uncontrolled drug craving and drug seeking apart from other harmful effects. Thus to cure drug addiction it is first necessary to solve the craving and seeking of drugs. According to the national survey conducted on drug abuse and health conducted in 2007, about 23.2 million people are regular drug addicts of which only 2.4 million where provided with treatment and rehabilitation programs. This wide disparity is mostly because of lack of public awareness about drug rehabilitation programs.

Based on drug addiction information provided in the site, drug abuse can be easily stopped by spreading awareness about drug rehabilitation programs. The site also provides information about drug abuse under the following categories Students and Young adults, Parents and teachers, Medical professionals and researchers. One can also find information about research programs, news, workshops and publications in the field of drug abuse.

AmandaZipper

babymel

I am the proud owner of a Babymel Diaper bag - Amanda Zipper and I chose the storm grey color. I love the subtle hues of grey and the black strollerstrap is a very good contrast, coming alive against the grey background. The Amanda Zipper is also available in elegant jet black. The bag is highly functional as the insulated zipper pocket keeps baby’s feed warm enough for long hours. There is an additional pocket too which can be used to keep the burp cloth, so I don’t have to frantically search for one after every feed. The bag has plenty of space, with five internal elasticated pockets and one internal zipped pocket, and comfortably holds baby’s stuff that will be needed outdoors.

The changing mat provided has good size specifications so baby remains within the mats’ periphery while changing diapers. The changing station that fits snugly into the Amanda Zipper bag , has been extremely useful for changing baby’s diaper anytime whilst outdoors. So, baby does not have to spend long hours in soiled and wet diapers. The changing mat has dimensions of h 23 cms, w 26 cms and d 6 cms.

strollerstrap

The Babymel bags have the unique strollerstraps, which is solely a Babymel design. Using the strollerstrap you can fix the diaper bag securely on to the stroller and you do not have to carry it slung on your shoulder. This is good if you have put in a lot of stuff and it is heavy to carry as you move around.

If you are on shorter trips, you can opt for the smaller Tool Pouch bag that easily holds two feeding bottles and has ample space with multiple outer pockets. Now when you plan a trip or have to travel you need not worry about easy access to baby’s items. The stylish Babymel bags will have all of your baby’s stuff handy and ready to use.

WIN IT!

One lucky Natural Baby Goods reader will receive the Babymel Amanda Zipper bag (the same as I got for review).
