Thoughtful Healthy Living Tuesday

This week I’ve been thinking a lot more about attitude. For most people, Thanksgiving and the preparations for Christmas put one in a good mood, thinking more about others than our own desires. However, for others, thinking about gift giving and shopping brings more anxiety than peace. For myself, this year I’m making more of an effort to keep my sanity and enjoy this special time, because it only comes once a year! Here’s a few things I’m keeping in mind to keep the stress away:

1. Take time to differentiate need and want, and then prioritize according to the budget.

We all know this – but it’s important to keep within the budget, because once that cap is lifted, so much more stress and anxiety fills in.

2. Make a list of people to gift and the gifts already purchased and those intended to purchase.

I tend to buy things throughout the year and then forget what all I’ve purchased! So I need to double check the “gift closet” before I shop.

3. Not fret over deals that I’ve missed

This might just be me, but I love a good deal that some times I feel guilty when I can’t get the deal, because circumstances kept me from getting to it or the deal just sold out so quickly. I have to remind myself to take it all in stride.

4. Think positively about the effect of my efforts.

Why am I making those purchases?!? It’s not to impress the person I’m giving it to but to bring a little more happiness and remind them that I appreciate them. After all, it is the thought that counts (for most people)!

Here’s to a healthy mindset during a seemingly busy season!

Cyber Monday

It's Cyber Monday, closely following Black Friday, and while I have bought a few things, I haven't given into the Christmas shopping frenzy. A few of my friends started shopping at 10pm Thanksgiving Day, and honestly I think it would have been fun to join -- realistically I'm glad I didn't because I would have given into my avaricious spirit and bought much more than necessary! We're actually scaling gift-giving down just a tad bit this year (and part of our extended family has informed me they are doing the same!), trying to be wise with all the deals out there, maybe perusing consignments stores also, taking advantage of free swagbucks earned from searching/"googling." According to a Yahoo news article, deals should be lasting more than just today, with some companies offering specials all through December.

So I'm going to keep my greed in check, sampling doses of humble pie and reality, and enjoy the shopping process -- there still are excellent deals to be had, but don't forget about shipping costs!

Oliver's Labels Review

How many times have you written your child's name with a Shapie on their sippy cup or clothing tag as a means of identification at the nursery or day care?!? I try so hard not to do that because I think it looks tacky, but normal labels can't stand the wear 'n tear of toddler life!

Oliver's Labels sent me a small sampling to try, and I do like these a lot! The labels are glossy and extremely durable. They are waterproof and scuff-proof and can be used on items that go into the dishwasher, microwave, fridge, or freezer. I did not notice any loss of adhesion after washing my little one's labeled sippy cup -- it only has to withstand her picking at it!

The Original Labels are 2" x 3/4" and come in a large variety of designs and icons -- there are some which are great for those with any allergies, so that everyone is aware of what your child cannot have.

We were also sent some Mini Labels, which are smaller to allow to adhere onto toys, toothbrushes, or pencils.

One of my favorites is the shoe labels! My little one is still too young for this, but I love the thought behind it. They stick to the inside heel of the shoe and have a right and left foot shape for each respective shoe!
Oliver's Labels also has a Stick-eez Clothing Label, which will adhere to your child's clothing tag. They should also be able to withstand the washer and dryer!
Oliver's Labels offers a Found-it Tracking System to locate lost items without listing any personal information! When someone finds the lost item, they will be prompted to go to a special page on our website (see "A" in diagram below) with instructions to enter the code on the label (see "B" in diagram below). Oliver's Labels will match you to your Found-it™ tracking system code and send you a notification email right away. Oliver’s Labels acts as an intermediary between you and the finder so you never have to share any of your personal information!
Oliver's Labels offers top-notch labels for so many uses! Click on over and order a few!

Thoughtful Living Tuesday

Leftovers!
I know most everyone is in full swing preparing for the feast on Thursday, and some look forward to the leftovers! I'm a leftovers girl and want to remind you of a few food safety tips.

Use those leftovers for around 3 days; after that, it's at your own risk!

Especially with big get-togethers, be careful about how long food will be sitting out at room temperature.

My mom was big on thoroughly reheating leftovers. Reheat food in a pot or pan on the stovetop to close to boiling -- might be good to reboil the gravy though.

When reheating, I try to avoid putting plastic in the microwave -- who knows what happens to the plastic when heated by the microwaves and how much of anything is transferred into the food I'd ingest! When I use the microwave, I use a glass or ceramic bowl or plate. Whenever possible though, I still try to reheat using the stovetop.

Happy Thanksgiving, and many healthy leftovers! =)

A Winner!

Kristin (who's Born 2 Be Mom) has won a Wrist Cuff Watch from The Owl & The Firefly!

Sickness....

The dreaded 5th season is upon us...cold & flu season! Despite our hand washing, healthy eating, apple cider vinegar, tea and our best attempts to stay healthy and well, we've failed. And unfortunately, we keep sharing the cold germs with each other. Needless to say, I feel unenergized -- and I thought time management was an issue before -- and as if someone is squeezing my throat closed, with moments to allow me to force out several coughs. The little one is not quite able to communicate what's ailing her -- I haven't been medicating her much, since she's under 2, but last night, she pointed to her ibuprofen! That seemed to help! Hopefully this sickness won't last too much longer!

A hot bath always works wonders to relax a sore and sick body. I lit my "spa" candle, and just let the steam and warmth rejuvenate my tired self. And I noticed a set of eyes looking at me -- the eyes of the rubber ducky! As I work my way through this cold season, it also makes me smile that I'm also making my way through the season of raising a toddler, with all its ups and downs. I just need to sit back and enjoy those baths, with the rubber ducky and the Booth bath applique on the tub surround, more!

BabyBond Nursing Cover Review

It took me quite some time to get accustomed to breastfeeding in public, with a cover. After doing some research and asking around, I purchased a cover, and even though I'm a petite woman, felt like the cover didn't adequately shield me from any wandering eyes! I was paranoid about placing my husband in strategic places so that strangers wouldn't be able to see my side or back. I wish I had known that the BabyBond Couture™ would eliminate my paranoia!

The BabyBond Couture™works as "a hybrid between nursing top and belly band," according to the website. Worn like a sash, it provides access for nursing from the top of the shirt; worn around the waist, it provides access for nursing from the bottom of the shirt, adequately covering any skin that might be exposed while nursing. When finished, it rolls up into a self-storing pouch.

This diagram illustrates the two possibilities for the BabyBond Couture™, but click on the diagram for a video demonstration.

BabyBond also offers the Original design as well as the Flex. All three are 100% cotton and machine washable -- the original even includes a built-in terry velour burp cloth.

Right now BabyBond is offering a Buy One, Get 75% off the second discount! To take advantage of it, purchase your BabyBond product at ToysRUs.com and email a copy of your receipt to missy at babybondnursing dot com; she will reply with a discount code to order the second from BabyBond.com for 75% off. This would be an excellent baby shower gift for any expectant mother!

The Mommy Brand - Review

Most everyone is familiar with Etsy, which provides an opportunity for anyone to sell their crafts or products, but I’m thrilled to share about The Mommy Brand, where each product is individually made by mommies!

I was given the choice to review a hair bow or a flower, and I chose the deep pink Jenny Flower. First, I noticed the pictures on the website just do not do justice to the actual product; the Jenny Flower had soft, supple petals and was not rigid or falsely reconstructed, as I had previously anticipated. Second the flower is strongly adhered to the clip, which held my daughter’s hair wonderfully (and she likes wearing it, unlike most other bows I’ve put in her hair).

Jenny at The Mommy Brand also included a nylon headband which has an ingenious band to clip any one of the flowers or bows onto, for babies with not enough clipable hair! In addition to the nylon headband in various sizes, they also have a thick, lace headband and accessory hat.

Check out their selections; they have over 80 hair bows in their collection! They might even offer a different color product than pictured – originally I wanted the Amy Flower because of the color, but since it was sold out at that time, Jenny suggested the Jenny Flower in the deep pink color I saw the Amy Flower. The Mommy Brand is offering a holiday sale beginning Nov. 8 – stop by and choose your favorite bows for your holiday celebrations and pictures for those Christmas cards or pick up a hooded towel or designed crocheted hat for your little one (or gift it for another little one)!

You can also follow The Mommy Brand on Facebook and Twiter. They also have a blog called “A Young Mom’s Guide to Motherhood, Money, & Marriage,” offering additional giveaways, recipes, helpful mommy advice, and financial tips.

****The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others. Thank you to Jenny at The Mommy Brand for the products for the review! I will be compensated with a gift certificate to use towards The Mommy Brand’s products!****
