Little One Books Review and Giveaway Birthday Bash

 All the Things I Love About You is written and illustrated by LeUyen Pham . This is a beautiful book all the way through. All the Things I Love About You is a story about a Mother and her little boy as she tells him all of the things she loves about him. Everything from how he looks in his pajamas and how she loves to hear his heartbeat, to his messy morning hair. This was a sweet story about the love a Mom has for her son and how unconditional it really is.

Pham is a mother of two boys herself so reading this story told by her really hits home with me. I love my two boys more than I could ever put into words. Reading this bedtime story to my boys really makes me appreciate all that they are and how much the little things matter. I was even tearing up as I read it to them! I cannot get over how sweet the story line is and the illustrations are great. Very good book, we have read it over and over again and I love it more each time we read it. I recommend it to every Mom with a son in her life.



All the Things I Love About You can be found at Little One Books. This website features books, music and videos from birth to age five. It is a great resource for parents and grandparents.






Here is a little info about Little One Books from their website:
We specialize in quality books, music, and video, for children birth through age five, and have personally reviewed and selected each and every item in our store. You'll find detailed information on why we prefer a particular product in our "Why We Chose" section of each product page. At Little One Books, we match each product to what we believe is the youngest appropriate age group. However, our carefully selected items can and will be used for many years to come. As children develop they often find pleasure in revisiting illustrations from old favorites, and eventually learning to read them on their own.

Dora the Explorer-It's Haircut Day DVD Review Birthday Bash

Dora is a household name and her name comes up a lot in ours. JJ loves to watch Dora and her cousin Diego and all of their adventures. I like the show because there is a lot of learning going on from different animals to learning to speak Spanish. My son tells me animal facts all the time and knows more Spanish than most adults!





Dora has a new DVD that came out called Dora the Explorer It's Haircut Day! JJ was so excited to watch this movie, I thought he was going to burst! It's Haircut Day is a 4 episode DVD that features some of Dora's "firsts". One episode is titled Dora’s Hair Raising Adventure- her first trip to the barber shop with Boots, Happy Birthday, Super Babies- her twin brother and sister's first birthday party, Baby Winky Goes Home! -where they help a lost space creature find his way home, and Dora’s Pegaso Adventure- where Dora rides her first Pegaso. We have watched this DVD over and over again and I love that my son is learning valuable lessons along the way. Great DVD, you can't go wrong with Dora and Boots! I recommend this to parents of little ones and preschoolers.

You can buy this Dora DVD for your collection at Target  and Walmart.

Earth Monkeys Review and Giveaway Birthday Bash

Earth Monkeys is an eco-friendly company that makes baby and toddler gear. Earth Monkeys was created by two hip and stylish Moms. They have a great product and we were lucky enough to review the "Simeon" Porta-Pad in green with a sweet monkey on it for my little one. What I love about this light weight (made out of recycled bottles, how cool is that) changing pad is that you don't have to worry about fitting it into your diaper bag along with the 25 other things shoved in there. It folds up into it's own little pouch and has a clip on the end so that you can attach it to the outside of your diaper bag or purse. Love that! No more worrying about changing your little one in public or on the floor at your mother-in-laws, your baby (and your mother-in-laws carpet) is well protected. It is the perfect size for your on-the-go needs and storing and cleaning this Porta-Pad is super easy. Not to mention you are being "greener" than ever because all of there items are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles! How can you go wrong? They even have a Baby Shower Gift Set that any new-aged Mom would love. Check them out today!

Bright Starts Drop & Giggle Toy Review Birthday Bash

For Baby L's birthday presents we were looking for toys that are fun but also with a good quality name behind them and we found that with Bright Starts. They have lots of great award winning products, if you mention the name Bright Starts everyone seems to know what you are talking about. Bright Starts sent us the Drop and Giggle toy to review. We were very excited to test out this product!

The Drop and Giggle comes with 3 colorful balls that you drop into Mr. Giraffe's head and arms that tunnel their way out of his feet. When the balls are dropped through the holes the toy giggles and makes noise that my son just loves! After we showed him where the balls go he was a regular old pro. Dropping the balls, picking them up and doing it all over again. It seems like anytime we get a new "baby" toy my 4 year old is just as excited as Baby L. It is like he is the inspector to make sure that it is fun or good enough for Baby L, after about 10 minutes he moves onto his own big boy toys. He is not a baby anymore he tells me after he tests it out for a bit. At first he thought the Drop & Giggle was "pretty cool...for a baby". The Drop and Giggle is recommended for ages 6 months and up, they carry toys for ages birth to 18 months and up.

Check out all of their products, they carry everything from High Chairs, Play yards, Swings, Seat Covers, Mobiles and more. I recommend the Bright Starts to everyone I know. Good quality products with a large selection to choose from!

To learn more about Bright Starts and get deals and coupons for their products you can follow them on twitter or be a fan on facebook.

Sasquatch Books Review and Giveaway Birthday Bash

I have said it here before but we L-O-V-E books in our family. We also love Sasquatch Books! They publish books for and from the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and California. This is near and dear to our hearts because each of these regions holds a special meaning in our family. They have a great selection of books for Children, Food and Wine, Gardening and more. We have reviewed books for Sasquatch before, Larry gets Lost in Seattle is a favorite in our house!! This time we were sent Who Hoo Are You? and What is Green? . These two books are written by Kate Endle and they are beautiful. I love the illustration and picture choices.



Who Hoo Are You is about different animals out there, and each has a description that begins with the letter of the animal. Like a hugely happy hippo and a lovable little lamb, too cute! Baby L loves animals so this was naturally a hit. Great book!




What is Green teaches you about colors and on each page it gives you examples of things that are the same color. For example; orange has a basketball, pumpkin and a carrot and more. This was another great book and we loved the illustrations.

Sasquatch books carries great quality books that will last a lifetime. We will be building our library of books from them for sure!

GIVEAWAY:
Win the two cute books by Kate Endle that I was sent for your own book collection.
