Eden Home Review and A Chance to Win Big!

Thanks to the nice people from fuelmyblog, I was recently introduced to Eden Home, a premium online store for eco-conscious parents. On their dynamic, buyer-friendly website, you may find a wide range of organic baby products including clothes, toys, bedding, diaper bags, skincare, feeding accessories, and gift sets. They carry a decent selection from leading brands that parents love and trust (e.g. Plan Toys, Green Toys, and Under The Nile).

Eden Home generously offered me a $50 gift certificate to shop for anything I like from their store. We had never tried any recycled toys before, so I chose to review the Sand Play Set by Green Toys and the Dolphin Explorer Boat by Sprig Toys.

Both play sets arrived in a big box right before my son's birthday and made perfect birthday gifts for him. Also included in the package is a large reusable shopping bag with the Eden Home logo on it. In fact, the bag is the biggest we've ever had, great to carry during grocery shopping! Not surprisingly, these BPA-free toys are of very high quality. They're not only fun to play with, but are safe, sturdy, and stimulating. My boy is having a blast playing sand and in water. Overall, I love my shopping experience at Eden Home. I was impressed by the amount of information provided on each product page and the ease with checking out (you're given the option to skip account registration).


Did I mention that you can easily create your online baby registry at EdenHome.com? By doing so between now and June 30, you are entered to win an organic baby show worth $1,000 as well as one of the weekly prizes (a $85 gift certificate). Eden Home will hand out over $2,000 in prizes during this promotion. Woohoo! You may click on the button above to read official rules and enter today. I've already entered. Good luck to us all!

Feel free to follow Eden Home on Facebook and Twitter for contest updates and winner announcements.

Thanks again to fuelmyblog and Eden Home for this awesome review opportunity!

Five Must-have Fashionable Pieces to Pack for Every Weekend Trip

Have you got plans for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend? How about a road trip with your family? TwitterMoms and Gap Outlet are interested in learning about your 5 must-have fashionable pieces to pack for every weekend trip. The first 50 qualified entrants in this fun blogging contest will be each rewarded with a $20 Gap gift card. Sounds great? Learn how you can enter to win here.

Now here's my list of 5 must-haves:

1. A roomy and nice-looking handbag. It's necessary to hold all the stuff I need to carry while on the go, napkins, lip balm, snack for my son, water bottle, mini first-aid kit, etc.
2. A pair of sunglasses. It's important to protect my eyes from intense sunlight and look cool and happy in the pictures.
3. A set of cotton tees or shirts. Cotton has been my number one choice of fabric for clothing. It's most comfortable and breathable.
4. A pair of flare jeans. My figure looks best in flare jeans, so I wear them wherever appropriate.
5. A pair of comfortable shoes. No high heels for a trip unless a special occasion is involved. Sneakers are my all time favorite. Sandals and flip-flops work well too if not a lot of walking is involved.

Thank You Mom Contest

Right before Mother's Day, Proctor & Gamble kicked off the "Thank You Mom Reunions" contest, which will run through November and award 105 contestants a prize package composed of $1,000 gift card and a portable digital video camera. The gift card is intended to help cover the cost of a special reunion with the winner's mom or mom figure in her life while the portable digital video camera can be used to capture the reunion. Winners are also encouraged to share their videos on www.ThankYouMom.com.

The "Thank You Mom" contest is aimed to touch and improve the lives of families across the country in small, but meaningful ways & help celebrate the role moms play in our families. This is the perfect contest for those who want to renuite with their moms but are unable to do so on their own.

Here's how you can enter to win:

First, submit an original essay of under 600 characters describing your great relationship with your mom or why you want to be re-connected with your mom.

Second, top 30 finalists chosen by a panel of judges each month will be posted on www.ThankYouMom.com. Website visitors will be invited to vote for their favorite entries.

15 entries with the most votes will be the final monthly winners.

Each person may enter once per month, but can win only once.

I'll probably enter to win a sweet reunion with my mom, but I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my mother-in-law for raising such a wonderful husband for me and for offering us unconditional help whenever we need it! Whenever she visits us, she'll volunteer to take over most of the housework. She showed appreciation for every gift I picked for her. She remembers my likes and dislikes. She even sided with me when my husband and I had an argument. I'm so happy to have two awesome moms in my life.
