Bebe au Lait Baby Hooded Towel Review & Giveaway

About: Bebe au Lait is well known for their nursing covers but their product line includes more great items.  Bebe au Lait sells burp cloths, reversible bibs and hooded towels.  These items are embellished with the wonderful selection of fabrics.  I have personally used the Bebe au Lait hooter hider and have been very impressed with the quality and fabric choices.  I have used mine through 2 nursing babies.  You will even find a line of Organic Nursing covers in 5 great colors.  The Bebe au Lait burp cloths are fun, fashionable and functional.  Any mother-to-be would be excited to receive them.  They are made from 100% cotton terry cloth and embellished with Bebe au Lait signature prints.  That's not all the great products you will find, they even have a one of a kind reversible Bib that look awesome!  You can view them HERE and see how their unique design works. 

All of the items from Bebe au Lait would make wonderful baby shower gifts.  You can even purchase a gift set which includes a nursing cover and three matching burp cloths.  If you don't know what fabric the mother to be would like you can send a gift certificate (via email).  This is also great if you forget or want to send something but can't attend the shower!

Don't forget about the Bebe au Lait Mother's Day Sale.

Review: I received the Bebe au Lait Parfait Baby Hooded Towel for review.  The hooded towel came nicely packaged in a sturdy box with a see through front which showcased the fabric.  This makes it a great ready to wrap gift. 

Size: Baby Hooded Towel (0-24 months)
Body: 100% Cotton Terry
Trim: 100% Cotton
Machine Washable
 
Bebe au Lait's hooded towels are available in 11 stylish fabrics.  You can pick one up for a little man, a little lady or one that's more gender neutral.  There is a little loop on the inside of the towel for hanging. 

The towel is large and I can see my daughter using it for many months to come.  When you purchase "baby" towels they are often too small after only a few months.  This hooded towel will last much longer making it a great option for any budget.  The cotton terry is much thicker and softer than many of the towels I have seen sold in stores.

With summer just around the corner you could pick up one of these hooded towels to use at the pool or beach.  The hood is a great feature to keep wet hair from dripping everywhere.  What more could a Mom ask for than a stylish, functional and affordable towel.


Buy it: You can purchase a Baby Hooded Towel from Bebe au Lait for $40.


Win it: 1 Lucky Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will win a Baby Hooded Towel from Bebe au Lait.

Mandatory Entry: Visit Bebe au Lait and tell me your favorite fabric (for any item).
Please make sure if your email address is not visible in your blogger profile you leave one in your initial entry!

EcoSMART Natural Bug Killer Giveaway

Birthday Bash Day 10
It’s safe. It’s effective. It’s smart. Naturally

My Son has only been to the doctors twice (other than well visits).  Both times were due to bug bites.  I panicked and wouldn't let him out of the house until I found insect repellent that I was comfortable using on my son.  The all natural bug repellent sounds like a great product that everyone in your family can use. The all-natural formula is made from organic plant oils, and repels mosquitoes, ticks, gnats and other obnoxious pests for hours.

Safe pest control at home is very important.  With two little ones and a dog I am very conscious about what products I use in and around my home.  Most recently we could have really used the Ant killer, I really dislike those pesky things!

Buy it: You can purchase products from EcoSMART on their website.

Win it: 1 Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will win an EcoSMART Safe Home Value Bundle.
This bundle includes, Ant and Roach Killer, Home Pest Control, Flying Insect Killer and Insect Repellent.

Mandatory Entry: Tell me why you want/need this Safe Home value bundle.
Please make sure if your email address is not visible in your blogger profile you leave one in your initial entry!

1 Bag at a Time Review & Giveaway

Birthday Bash Day 9
About: 1 bag at a time started with the president Lisa Foster selling bags out of her home.  The company has grown by leaps and bounds selling over 10 million bags!  The most popular item is the standard shopping bag.  You can pick the bag up in a variety of colors, Black, Navy Blue, Red, Chocolate Brown, Clover Green or Grass Green.

1 bag at a time is dedication to corporate responsibility and consumer education.  Informing consumers about waste due to plastic and paper bags is very important.  When consumers are educated with this information the hope is that they will make the switch.


  • 14 plastic bags contain enough petroleum to drive a car a mile.
  • 380 billion plastic bags or wraps are thrown away in America each year.
  • Making a paper bag emits 50% more global warming gases than making a plastic bag.
  • Paper bags do not biodegrade in landfills due to a lack of oxygen.
  • Cities spend up to 17 cents per bag in disposal costs, wasting millions of tax dollars.
Some of the other bags you can find are an insulated bag which can maintain temperature for up to 3 hours. 
Would you like to promote your business?  You can have your logo imprinted on the bag.  Some of the specialty bags available are
  • wine bags
  • lunch bags
  • shoulder bags
  • conference bags
This is my favorite bag, Jute Bags.  It's a great eco-friendly bag. These eco-chic bags can actually help reduce global warming, and create Zero Waste.  What a great gift to yourself and your children.


Review: I received the standard shopping bag in clover green.  The bag is made of a very sturdy material, includes a stiffener in the bottom and has the 1 bag at a time logo imprinted on it.

Features of the Standard Shopping Bag:
-Size: 14"H x 12"W x 8" Gusset
-Tag informs consumers
-10% recycled content
-Holds up to 30 pounds
-Bottom stiffener included
-Replaces thousands of bags

Reusable shopping bags are not just for grocery shopping.  Keep a few in your car for trips to the drug store or mall.  I have used the bag for library books, toting items between rooms in the house, travel bag with the kids stuff, even a diaper bag in a pinch.  One of the great things about this particular bag is that it's machine washable.  This feature makes is more versatile than other reusable bags that can only be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Many stores are offering money off your total bill for each reusable bag you bring in.  This is a great incentive to bring your own bag, in just a few shopping trips your bag will be paid for.  Now you just have to remember to take the bag into the store with you.


Buy It: You can purchase bags from 1 bag at a time on their website.

Win It: 1 lucky Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will win 2 standard reusable shopping bags from 1 bag at a time.


Mandatory Entry: Visit 1 bag at a time and tell me which bag is your favorite.
Please make sure if your email address is not visible in your blogger profile you leave one in your initial entry!

Flings Bins Review & Giveaway

Birthday Bash Day 7
About: Flings are a line of pop-up disposable trash and recycling containers. The unique design makes trash and recycling easy and fun.  Flings are perfect for use both at home and away.  They arrive flat so they are easy to store or transport.  They pop up and remain standing on their own.  Once you have fill the bin, pull the drawstring and toss the whole bag.  The fun designs make Flings a festive addition to any gathering.  They are perfect for:
  • Picnics
  • Family Reunions
  • Tailgates
  • Parties
There is even a recycling bin.  You can fill it up, take it to the recycling center, dump and re use.

The first flings line is targeted mainly toward parties and other gatherings, where consumers have told us they don’t have great solutions today … typically either a clunky, ugly trash or recycling bin or a trashbag hung over a drawer or doorknob. Flings solves this by offering portable, clearly recognizable trash and recycling containers. That way guests know where to put the trash and recycling, and the host/hostess can kick back and enjoy the party.
 - flingsbins.com





Review: I received the Birthday and Celebration Bin (Tall Kitchen Size 13 Gallons) extra strong & leak-proof.  At first glance you may wonder will this bag really work?  I gave the bins the ultimate test and used one at my husbands Birthday Party.  I don't think our guests knew it was the trash can until I started throwing things in it!

The bottom has a thick piece of cardboard which will help if you are throwing bottles in it.  Even after throwing away a few leftovers, cups with liquid and old food from the fridge we had NO leaking.  This is a huge deal for me.  We have to take our trash out the back door which means we carry it over the carpet, carpet that my kids play on.  Leaking would have been a big deal.  I have had trouble in the past with bags tearing or being so full the draw string rips.  Flings worked great and I would highly recommend them.  You don't have to worry about stinky garbage cans the next time you have a party.  Flings will have all your guests interested in helping clean up!

Buy It: You can buy flings on their website or find a retailer near you.  Special bulk pricing: 4 for $15.99 or 10 for $29.99 (online).  FREE shipping on all orders!

Win It: 1 lucky Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will win 1 flings party pack (2 of the celebration and Birthday flings)

Mandatory Entry: Visit flings and tell me which bin you like the best or another design they should have.

Please make sure if your email address is not visible in your blogger profile you leave one in your initial entry!

National Kids & Pet Day & a $20 Kroger Gift Card Giveaway

Birthday Bash Day 6
 
April 26th is National Kids & Pet Day, what a great time to celebrate the impact a pet has had on your family.  You may even be considering adding a pet to your family.  Here are some helpful tips to think about when looking for the right pet.

Family Friendly breeds: 
  • Cocker Spaniel: These lap dogs are sensitive and sweet and enjoy the attention of children. Cocker Spaniels are obedient with training and friendly around people. 
  • Pug: This affectionate breed loves being part of a family. Outgoing and mischievous, they make playful companions for children. 
  • Golden Retriever: Similar to Labs in personality, Goldens are mild mannered and enjoy being around families and other people. These dogs are easy to train are gentle with children. 
  • Basset Hound: This breed is good with children of all ages. They are known for their docile nature and gentleness. Their long backs need to be supported when they are picked up, and an eager child can accidentally injure them. 
Tips for safe pet play: 
  • Teach your children to pet softy, stay away from food dishes, toys and bones, and not to startle your dog or cat when it is sleeping. 
  • Keep babies and toddlers at a level higher than your dog. Dogs perceive height as representative of their hierarchy. Keep your children off the floor when the dog is in the room. 
  • Don’t give your dog toys that resemble your children’s toys or clothing. Stay away from fabric stuffed dog toys that resemble your child’s stuffed animals. 
  • Involve your child in your dog’s care. Even just the presence of your child in the same room while your dog is receiving his favorite things or activities can help build a positive association to children. 
For more information on family friendly breeds or additional tips on teaching your children about pet safety, visit Kroger’s Pet Health blog.
 
Did you know that Kroger also offers pet insurance through PetFirst?  I know first hand how valuable pet insurance can be.  A few years ago our little dog kept getting urinary tract infections so they decided to take an x-ray($) to see if their was a larger problem.  What they discovered was a bladder stone, which required she have surgery ($$$).  Pet insurance sure would have been helpful and it is definitely something I will be looking into.
 
The Kroger pet insurance policies cover routine care and medical procedures for dogs and cats.  The insurance is available at more than 2,400 stores in the Kroger family including City Market, Dillon’s, Fred Meyer, Frye’s, King Sooper, Owen’s, Pay Less, QFC, Ralph’s and Smith’s.  You can also purchase Kroger’s pet insurance online at http://www.krogerpersonalfinance.com/pet-insurance/.   The insurance works at any veterinarian nationwide, reimbursement typically occurs within two weeks.  You can purchase coverage starting as low as $9.95 per month.  Individuals who purchase online RIGHT NOW can save $10. 

You can keep up with Kroger Pet Health on twitter @PetsOfHealth.  You can also tweet using the hashtag #pethealth and follow along on National Kids & Pet Day!

Win it:
1 Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will win a $20 Gift Card to Kroger.

Mandatory Entry:
Visit the Kroger Pet Insurance page and tell me something you learned.
Please make sure if your email address is not visible in your blogger profile you leave one in your initial entry!

Disclosure: For helping raise awareness of National Kids & Pet Day I was provided with a $20 gift card to spoil {the pet in my life} and a $20 gift card to giveaway to a reader so that they could do the same by the Global Influence Network and the Kroger Co. The thoughts and opinions here are my own.

Charitable Creations Hand Stamped Jewelry & Giveaway! CLOSED

Birthday Bash Day 5 

About: Every creation offered at CCJ's may be personalized to create a special, one of kind piece, hand crafted especially for you. Item photos are just one example of what can be created, but with your imagination and CCJ's extensive collection of design stamps and letter fonts the design possibilities are endless. I use only the highest quality materials and you will find that my hand stamped designs are made with thick 20 gauge .925 sterling silver and never paper thin. 

You can feel confident that you will always receive a high quality, meticulously hand crafted piece from Charitable Creations Jewelry.

One of the things that sets Charitable Creations is that 10% of your order is donated to charity (once the donation reaches $10).  You can see a list of charities on the website.

Review:
I have always thought hand stamped personalized jewelry was such a pretty and unique way to show off your family.  Shelly the owner/designer of Charitable Creations was great to work with.  I sent her some information on my family and a few of my favorite items from her shop.  She surprised me with the Hand Stamped Mommy Necklace.  The jewelry arrived in a gift box with a gift note from Shelly.  I was so excited to open it and see what she had created for me.  The necklace is absolutely amazing and to say I like it is an understatement.  I absolutely love it!  The flirty font fits my personality perfectly; she also used the star stamp to separate my children's names.  You can take a look at all the fonts and design stamps are shown on the website

I have been wearing the necklace every chance I get and have received multiple comments on how pretty it is.  When my sister saw the necklace this week she said, "The picture you sent doesn't do it justice."  My children are very important to me and this necklace helps me to show that.  It's a great conversation starter as most people want to know what it says, who they are etc.  You can wear hand stamped jewelry with anything!  I have worn it to the store, church, MOPS meetings or out on a date.  The classic style makes it the perfect accessory!

The Hand Stamped Mommy or Grandmother's Necklace can be personalized with up to 4 names and Swarvoski Birthstones.  You can also choose whether you would like it on a 16" cable chain (pictured) or an adjustable black leather cord.  There are so many possibilities for this necklace alone, children, grandchildren, even spouses name.


Who wouldn't be ecstatic to receive a piece of personalized hand stamped jewelry?  My Sister has already put in a Birthday request.  With Mother's Day right around the corner Charitable Creations has gifts to fit anyone, Grandmothers, Aunts and Mothers.  You will even find items for men and children.  Check out this cool guitar pick, I may have to pick one up for Father's Day! 
 
Personalized jewelry shows the recipient that you care and took the time to pick out a special gift just for them.  Whether you are shopping for Birthdays, Anniversaries, Baptisms or just because; you will find a wonderful selection at Charitable Creations!  The current turnaround time is 10 - 12 days (plus shipping time).

Buy it: You can purchase personalized hand stamped jewelry from Charitable Creations website or Etsy shop.


Win it: 1 lucky Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will win a Hand Stamped Mommy or Grandmother's Necklace with up to 4 names and Swarvoski Birthstones on a 16" cable chain or an adjustable black leather cord.

Mandatory Entry:  Visit Charitable Creations website or Etsy shop and tell me something else you like.
Please make sure if your email address is not visible in your blogger profile you leave one in your initial entry!

SodaStream Fountain Jet Review & Giveaway

Birthday Bash Day 4

About: SodaStream is the world leader in home carbonating systems, with over 10 million soda makers sold in more than 15 countries around the world. Founded overseas in 1991, SodaStream started operations in the United States in 2003. SodaStream products are BPA and phthalate FREE. They do not use any materials in the production process that can produce phthalates or PCBs.

There are a variety of SodaSteam soda makers available starting at $89.95 with the fountain jet. The SodaStream fountain jet is available in a variety of fashionable colors including red! The sodamixes come in over 30 flavors. They come in economy sized bottles. Each bottle of concentrated SodaMix contains enough syrup to make about 12 liters or 33 cans of fresh, delicious soda. There is no high-fructose corn syrup in regular flavors. No aspartame in diet flavors.

Unopened bottles of sodamix do not require refrigeration, but they should be stored in a cool dry place. If you are like me and enjoy your soda cold you can refrigerate the sodamixes before you open them. Once a sodamix is opened you will want to store it in the fridge.

The benefits of having your own soda maker are:
  • Variety of soda at a low cost
  • Convenient
  • Easy to use
  • Less packaging waste from cans and bottles.
  • Less pollution caused by transport of bottled beverages.
The SodaStream fountain jet carbonator makes 60 liters, equivalent to 170 aluminum cans. Once you have used up the container you can mail it back to SodaStream or find a retailer near you that will exchange them. The containers are refilled and used again for more great SodaStream sodas!

Sodastream soda makers come with a money-back guarantee and a 2 year warranty. If you are not satisfied with your soda maker for any reason, you can return it. The return must be postmarked within 30 days of the purchase date for a full refund (less the value of free shipping for those customers who purchased a value package).

Review: I must admit I was a little skeptical when I first started reading about the SodaStream soda maker. Could it really be that easy to make your own soda? I am a big soda drinker so I had to try it out for myself. I received the SodaStream fountain jet in black with a variety of sodamixes and flavorings. It was so easy, and fun!

I have to say the Cranberry Raspberry and Orange are my favorite. I am pretty picky on my diet coke but I did enjoy the diet cola. It wasn't the exact flavor I was used to but it was refreshing. You may have to experiment some to see exactly how much carbonation you want but the recommendation is to press the button three times. As I explained in the video you can also experiment with the sodamix to find the right combination for your taste. A cap ful is the normal amount needed but if you want it to be a little heavier add more sodamix, it's that easy.
If you aren't a big soda drinker you can also make seltzer or sparkling water using the fountain jet. I know I need to drink more water and adding a dash of flavor makes it more refreshing to me. The MyWater Flavor Essence available include berry, orange and lemon lime.

The SodaStream soda maker is not only earth friendly but it's a great addition to any kitchen. It's always great to have a fun and functional item in the kitchen. With the soda maker you can keep a variety of flavors around and it's much cheaper than purchasing cans and cans of different sodas. Older kids will have a great time making their own sodas. Any of the SodaStream soda makers would be a great gift for the gadget lover or for that hard to shop for person.

Buy It: You can buy a SodaStream Maker online or at a retailer near you.
Win It: 1 lucky Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will win their very own SodaStream Fountain Jet with a variety of sodamixes!

Mandatory Entry: Visit the SodaStream online store and tell me which type of sodamix you would like to try.

Between Me and You Mom Journal Giveaway

Birthday Bash Day 3

About:  Sand Dune Publishing LLC is an independent publishing company with the very simple mission of developing writing tools that help strengthen personal relationships through self-expression and sharing.  To that end, The Between Me and You™ series was released.

The books are divided into 6 chapters, each concerning a different phase of life or relationship. Asked in a comfortable, conversational tone and many times with a sense of humor, the questions are specific enough to elicit some wonderful personal information yet general enough so that anyone will find them relevant to his or her own relationship.

A great feature of the Between Me and You™ series thanks to the spiral-bound presentation is that you can simply tear out the pages that might not be relevant to your particular needs. You can even add your own personal questions or even photos on the blank pages that are provided in back.  The result is a unique, handwritten journal that will be cherished for a lifetime. Additional versions relevant to our many relationships are planned and will be released in the near future.


I am big into scrapbooking and it's so important to document these memories for generations to come.  These journals help to generate conversations.  They are also great tools to help you sit down and write out your thoughts and special memories.  These book are wonderful for Grandparents to help prompt writing and help to make a lasting legacy for their children and grandchildren.  You can click on each of the journals to "look inside" and see the layout and some examples of the questions.

The Reunion journal would be a great addition to any family gathering.  You can pass it around and have everyone share special memories.  You may even need to pick up a few so each family can take one home with them!  The Mama and Papa journals are even available in Spanish.


Give these keepsake journals to the people you care about most. Each hardcover, spiral-bound book
measures 6 ½ " x 7 ¼ " and contains 35 - 45 fun-to-ask and fun-to-answer questions.
You get them back with handwritten responses you'll cherish forever.


These journals would make wonderful Mother's Day or Birthday gifts.  Why not pick up one and complete it for your Mother or Aunt.  You could even work through the book with an aging relative who would savor the time spent together.

Buy it:  You can purchase a Between Me and You Journal from Sand Dune Publishing Co. for $14.95.

Win it: 1 Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will a Mom Journal from Sand Dune Publishing Co.

Mandatory Entry: Visit Between Me and You and tell me another Journal you would be interested in.

3rd Annual Design a Reusable Shopping Bag Contest & Giveaway!

Birthday Bash Day 2
 
About: In 2009, Kroger and its family of stores sold an average of nearly 13,000 reusable shopping bags per day. As one of America ’s largest retailers, the Kroger Co. and its banner stores are committed to being responsible stewards of the environment.  One of the ways that they are doing this is by continuing to encourage shoppers to use reusable shopping bags through their Design A Reusable Shopping Bag Contest.

Now through May 21st visit www.designareusablebag.com where you can enter the 3rd Annual Kroger Reusable Shopping Bag Contest.  You can design your own reusable grocery bag using Kroger’s easy-to-use design tool. 

You can also vote for your favorite designs.  From the top 10 designs, one grand prize winner will receive $1,000 and could potentially be sold in Kroger stores. Four finalists will receive $250 Kroger gift cards and five runners-up will receive $100 Kroger gift cards.  Every Shopper’s Card holder who submits a design will receive a credit for a FREE reusable shopping bag ($0.99 value, expires 30 days from when you submit your design).

Review: There are already over 22,000 bag designs so get your creative caps on!  It was so easy to create a canvas bag.  You can choose from pre-made borders, backgrounds or add your own photos.  You can add text, stickies or maybe have your kids draw on the bag using the paint tool.  I choose to use a graphic in their database and add my own text.  If you don't like your design you can clear your "canvas" and start over.  


When you click on submit my bag design you will be asked for some information.  This will be displayed along with your bag design on the voting page.

Buy it: Kroger has partnered with Cafe Press so customers can purchase their design on a reusable canvas bag.  The canvas bag can be purchased for $12.99.  My shipping was $5.25 from Cafe Press and the turn around time was pretty fast.  I am very happy with the completed product.  The straps are long making it comfortable to carry the bag on your shoulder.  It's a sturdy canvas and the graphic looks great on the tote.

Simple Organized Sanity- Time Management Coaching Call

What better way to start off a Birthday Bash than with the gift that keeps on giving and can make you less stressed and more happy?  ORGANIZATION and a time management personal coaching call just for YOU.  I know I am always looking for ways to make the most of my days.  Better time management = more time for ME which is one Birthday Present I could really use this year!


About: Simple Organized Sanity is a Professional Organization Company whose mission is to help moms and families save time, money, and energy by helping them become more organized.

What makes Simple Organized Sanity unique from other Professional Organization Services out there?
  • They are a Mom Owned Business Marketing to Moms on a level that they understand and respect.
  • When they see a need they want to act quickly to meet that need. They are a flexible company that is always looking for new untapped opportunities.
  • SOS strives to combine numerous services and products to give moms a great deal of choice in
    how they can get help… all at a budget friendly price- no memberships or monthly fees.

Our Phone Coaching Sessions: As of now we offer three types of sessions on the phone; a general
mom’s call, a time management focused call and a call for moms who work from home. In these calls a client will get 30-45 min. of ideas and input from me about specific areas that they are struggling with.  As with our Virtual Organizing services, I email them a set of questions before hand so I have a firm understanding of their struggles and we don’t waste valuable time going through the history or details.


Review:  Since having my son two and a half years ago my time management has gone out the window.  Now that I have a 7 month old as well, I have to get things in order if I ever want to accomplish anything.  I was so excited to have the opportunity to review and giveaway a Time Management coaching call with Simple Organized Sanity!

Christie was so great to work with she sent me an email a few days before my coaching call to learn more about me and the areas I struggle with in regards to time management.  This allows her to prepare and maximize the time during the call.  I jotted down a few notes during the call however Christie sends all her clients a detailed recap of the call siting any additional sources.  This is wonderful as it frees the client up to pay total attention to the call and not worry about whether or not you are getting everything written down.  The call was very conversational and I was able to ask additional questions.   Something she said that has stuck with me over the past few weeks is "practical not perfect solutions."  This reminds me that my house doesn't have to look perfect but I can do things to help keep it in order and SOS provides tools to help every busy Mom get to where they need to be!

Some of my favorite tips:
Getting my kids to help clean up
Choosing a load of laundry for the day
Setting the timer so I don't lose track of time and spend all of nap time reading blogs!

After our coaching call, Christie provided me with a customized day planner sheet.  You can check out all their planner pages and watch videos on them HERE.    I have made a commitment to try out the planner pages for a month and if they continue working well I will have them printed and make a complete planner for the year!  The great thing about the planner pages from SOS is they can customize them to fit your needs.  I was able to make different boxes larger and add an additional line.

I have been able to put most of the tips from Christie to good use over the past few days.  While I still wish there was at least 12 more hours in a day I have been able to get more accomplished and since recognizing that I spend too much time on the computer I have been able to manage that with timers and have accomplished more than I did before using this method.


Check out more reviews about Simple Organized Sanity and enter to win more great prizes (will be updated when additional reviews/giveaways are posted!)


Buy it:  You can purchase an Organizational Coaching Session at Simple Organized Sanity ($30 Value)

Win it: 1 Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will win One time management coaching session.
You will get a 30 min. coaching call to help you develop a schedule, a routine or a plan for your family.  Great for cleaning routines, WAHMs, schedules with kids, etc.

Mandatory Entry: Tell me what area of your life you need the most time management help with.
Please make sure if your email address is not visible in your blogger profile you leave one in your initial entry!

Just Let Me Lie Down Book Review & Giveaway

Product Description: Kristin van Ogtrop knows she's lucky--fulfilling career, great husband, three healthy kids, and, depending on the hamster count, an impressive roster of pets. She also knows she is tired. Always.

Using stories and insights from her own life, she provides a lexicon for the half-insane working mom. Anyone who has left a meeting to race to the Halloween parade immediately understands van Ogtrop's definition of "Kill the messenger" as "The action you must take in order to forget about the office for a time--that is, to remove your Blackberry/Treo/iPhone/whatever from your person and store it as far away as your neurotic self will allow." Filled with essays, lists, and resonant observations, Just Let Me Lie Down establishes van Ogtrop as the Erma Bombeck of the new millennium.

About the Author: Kristin van Ogtrop is the editor of Real Simple magazine and has held positions at Glamour, Vogue, Travel & Leisure, and Premiere. She lives outside New York City with her family.

Review: When I first saw this book was available for review I jumped at the chance to read it.  It looked like it would be an entertaining book.  Kristin van Ogtrop did not disappoint.  I found this book to be very funny, an easy read and well organized.  As a busy Mom I find it hard to sit down and read multiple chapters in a book.  This is the kind of book you can read one, two or six chapters, come back in a few days and not have to re-read it all to catch up.  Each chapter in Just Let Me Lie Down is assigned a letter and Kristin lists words/phrases with hilarious definitions.  This is a great book for the working Mom to read on her lunch break, on the bus or while she is waiting for the meeting to start...late...  As a working Mom Kristin van Ogtrop shares her struggles through this book. I was able to related and remain interested in this book even though I do not work outside the home.  I may be half insane though!

Some of my favorites are, nanny envy, pie chart of you and quality time.  I would recommend this book to any Mom who needs a little humor in her life (who doesn't).  With Mothers Day coming up this would make a great gift.  I have a few Moms in my life who I can't wait to share this book with.

Buy it: You can purchase a copy of Just Let Me Lie Down at a book retailer near you.

Win it: 3 lucky Coupon Clippin' Mommy readers will win a copy of Just Let Me Lie Down.

Mandatory Entry: Leave a comment letting me know why you would like to win this book
Please make sure if your email address is not visible in your blogger profile you leave one in your initial entry!
