Giveaway at Sandier Pastures: The Belly Band for pregnant and nursing mommies

I actually saw something similar to this SwellyBelly Maternity Belly Band and Nursing Cover I used to purchase many of my nursing wears, nursing bras and baby stuff earlier this year during my Chinese New Year shopping spree. So this giveaway showcasing SwellyBelly Maternity Belly Band and Nursing Cover from an online shop aptly called Nine Moons caught my attention.

What is a SwellyBelly Maternity Belly Band and Nursing Cover?

From their website:

Our SwellyBelly Maternity Belly Band and Nursing Cover is the fashionable accent every belly has been looking for. It provides coverage and support as your belly expands under the shirt and doubles as a nursing cover once the nine months are over.

The idea behind this design is so handy as we can use it while being pregnant and later on when nursing just by pairing it with our normal blouse..why didn't I come across such invention earlier? haha...so that I get to splurge on nursing attires maybe..hehe

At Nine Moons, there are so many beautiful patterns to choose from, or we could choose a basic color as well.

WHAT'S UP FOR GRABS:
One lucky winner will get to choose a SwellyBelly Maternity Belly Band and Nursing Cover of their choice of design/color and size from Nine Moons!

HOW TO WIN:
Browse all the SwellyBelly Maternity Belly Band and Nursing Cover collection from Nine Moons and pick a favorite and leave your comment at Sandier Pastures!

That's it!

DRAW:
A winner will be chosen at random on 29th September 2009.

2nd anniversary Passionate Homemaking blog Giveaway- Healthy Homemaking e-book!

Hi folks,

I saw an interesting giveaway for homemakers at Passionate Homemaking blog here.

They are celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the Passionate Homemaking blog! They are planning to host a few exciting giveaways and this week they are starting with Healthy Homemaking e-book giveaway.

Check details below about the ebook from Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home.:

(extracted from Passionate Homemaking blog)

If you haven't seen Steph's new e-book, you will want to check out this handy little resource. Healthy Homemaking: A 52 Week Journey of Baby Steps to Help you Move Towards More Natural, Nutritious and Sustainable Lifestyle is a quick and easy read but altogether practical! If you are just getting starting in living more naturally and healthy, this book is especially for you! If you have been on the journey for awhile, this book will provide you with some extra encouragement and accountability. It is a baby step guide, 52 weeks to be exact, of easy steps towards cleaning your home naturally, avoiding waste, eating healthy, and living wholeheartedly in being good stewards of God's kingdom. I found it very enjoyable to read. Each step can take a week at a time or you can draw it out as long as you desire, but each step is simple.

Stephanie's description is as follows:

This 76-page eBook includes:

** 26 Baby Steps, covering a broad range of topics in the areas of Nutrition, Cooking and Food Preparation Techniques, Going Green/Sustainable, and Natural (non-toxic) Living. Each step gives you a specific goal, teaches why that step is important, and then gives detailed directions and tips for implementing that step into your life. At the end of each step, you'll find both online and reading resources to help you with completing the step, as well as to encourage you to look into it more on your own.

** A printable chart intended to help you keep track of the steps that you are working on. It includes space to set goals for yourself, as well as to write your own notes and reminders as you implement these steps.

** A detailed introduction, discussing some of the why's and motivation behind pursuing a journey like this.

** My own personal journey. I share with you my story, from unhealthy child and teen, to where I am at today. It is a story full of bumps and challenges, huge learning curves, many mistakes and ultimately, a whole lot of God's grace.

Passionate Homemaking are offering 5 copies of this e-book to 5 lucky winners!

Are you using BPA free bottle for your child?

Yes I am!!

Well, initially I am not looking into BPA-free etc(as BPA-free term was not as highlighted as it is today 3 years ago). But I am looking into colic-free bottle.

Thus I found Dr. Brown's bottle. When DH went to search for it..chance upon another brand called B-free...which is even better as I think at that time..B-free is the only BPA-free bottle selling in my place...other brand is not yet BPA-free. Talking about the power of parents advocates rite ;) So we must always make our voices heard to see the change takes place ..Agree?

Anyway, for my son, I saw another BPA-free bottle when there was no stock of Bfree in my town not even online stores as they are producing new ones..so old stock are not "reachable".
This bottle is MAM...which is quite widely available at many baby online stores.

So have you switch to BPA-free bottle for your child?

If you are thinking of switching but worry about the cost(actually it is not that costly if you compared the negative effect of normal bottle plus the quality of a BPA-free range), there's good news for you..

Tiny Tapir is having a BPA-free bottle giveaway for here. It ends on 24 July 2009.

So hurry there if you like to win one!

Cheers!

Are you a Book Lover?

Yes, I am!!

I think my love for reading was planted deeply the moment my English teacher, I think her name is Mrs. Thiang passed me three free copies of Reader's Digest. I was hooked instantaneously from then on. I would be reading Reader's Digest even right before taking the 1119 Exam :P

And when I started working(still single), the moment I get my paycheck, I would go to Popular, MPH or Kinokuniya for my book shopping. As I always end up with more books than I can finished in a month, I would have to fix my each purchase to three per trip. However once, I ended up buying 16 books(totalled close to MYR300) at MPH warehouse sales. Woot...that was the extreme(for me at least!!)

And naturally I am not missing out in buying books for my kids, from cloth book, to those tiny hard cover ones which we can bring along when travellling. Below is the picture of KY(I think when she is about 5-6mths old). But back then she prefered to chew on the book :P. Somehow I glad that my love of reading does rub a bit on her..she would now grab a book whereever she goes..even when I bring her to visit my friends.

And, yep one good news I would to share that Kitty Cat is having a giveaway at her blog aPregnantpause.net (1ChildrenBooks.com is giving away 2 (TWO) hardcover copies of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", each worth RM109.90). So if you are Harry Potter fans, do check out the giveaway here.

Happy Reading!

Cheers!

Have you seen or tried leggings for babies or kids?

I used to see babies or toddlers wearing leggings such as these from Leg Huggers and I found they are made of 100% sustainable bamboo fibers. No wonder the kids looks happy in it.

Check out the details of the giveaway here and if you are lucky you might just win a pair of these cute and lovely leggings for your child! I like the Leg Hugger - Dancing Daisies (see above).

BabyIbu Giveaway: leanalittleshop.com

As mommies I bet we all loves buying or scouting toys for our kids…lately one of the blog owner – BabyIbu is having a giveaway for an online store- leanalittleshop.com which sells quality toys.

One of the items I love from leanalittleshop.com is My Good Manners Cloth Book (see picture below) which I planned to get for KY.

This is a perfect book for teaching good manners to our kids…the content is interactive and cute! Besides cloth books mean it'll not get torned and is washable..so can be passed down from KY to her little sibling...a green way too right ;)

I have got (a similar version) is Right At Home Cloth Book which KY reads it every night..putting each animals in its own home to sleep before she goes to sleep herself.

So check out the store if you are planning to get some safe and non-toxic toys for your precious ones....

Cheers!
