Brentwood Home Kids Space Bundle Review & Giveaway

Kids love to have their own space. About one fourth of our living room has become the Kids' Corner, marked by a giant, colorful play mat, a bunch of stackable toy bins, a book shelf filled with children's books, and a set of kid-sized table and chairs. Now my kiddos love their place even more because of the new addition of the Kids Space Bundle from Brentwood Home.

The Brentwood Home Kids Space Bundle consists of two items: a Venice Lounger and a LilyPad Pillow

Made with nontoxic polyurethane and gel memory foam, the Venice Lounger creates an ultra comfortable spot wherever you place it in your home. It can be used for reading, relaxing, playing, chatting, napping or simply a feeling of being hugged and pampered. Besides its premium quality and luxurious feel, I love that the lounger comes with a zipped cover that is easy to remove and clean.

The LilyPad Kids Pillow is filled with a mixture of all natural latex and silky smooth kapok, which provides the same softness of down without the risk of allergies. Kapok is also sustainable, non-toxic, and pesticide free. The pillow is soft, fluffy, and resilient, perfect for kids whose growing bodies need a good night's sleep. Made with 100% organic cotton, the pillow case features a neat-looking, gender neutral plaid pattern.

BFGO Handmade Jasper Necklace Giveaway

I'm always thankful for what I have got in life. And I feel happy when I'm able to help those who are less fortunate, especially children in need.

I was recently introduced to Beautiful Feet Global Outreach, Inc., a Christian based charitable organization focusing on improving the lives of orphans worldwide.

Beautiful Feet Global Outreach (BFGO) has a mission that speaks volumes: To minister the love and hope of Christ into the hearts of orphans worldwide by providing basic needs and creating educational platforms from which opportunities abound.

BFGO offers many programs designed to enhance the lives of children who have been orphaned. Here are a few examples:

The adoption grant fund.

BFGO is designing an application, whereby once per year BFGO will award an adoption grant to one family in need of financial assistance for the adoption process. The amount of the grant may vary from year to year, depending on the amount in the grant fund. As this fund grows, they will award grants to more families. BFGO believes that adoption is every child's right and every family's privilege. BFGO is looking forward to celebrating with many families for years to come, and BFGO is already praying for them.


Because BFGO has a soft spot for children with Down syndrome, they will always be promoting and advocating for one child (at a time) with Reece's Rainbow, a non-profit which specializes in helping children with special needs find adoptive families. These are the discarded, forgotten children of the world. For their hope, BFGO vows to be a constant voice.

Please consider making a donation to this cause or supporting the efforts of BFGO by purchasing a lovely, handmade jasper necklace. To see the jewelry available, please visit BFGO on facebook.

Plus you could win your very own handmade Jasper necklace right here! Giveaway runs for one week only until 8/7. Enter via the Rafflecopter form below and good luck!

Heart of Haiti Collection Review & Giveaway

Heart of Haiti is an extension of Macy's "Shop for A Better World" initiative born out of a partnership with Fair Winds Trading and Brand Aid Haiti. Founded on the principle of "Trade not Aid", "The Shop for A Better World" creative team gathers artists from all over Haiti to develop and sell their handcrafted works in over 25 Macy's storefront locations across the U.S. and on macys.com.

The proceeds earned from the sale of Heart of Haiti products have dramatically improved the lives of the artists and their families, giving them the ability to afford better nutrition, education and healthcare. The craftsmanship and technique behind these works of art, ranging from papier mache vases to hand cut metal frames & wall hangings, is truly remarkable. The collection is made entirely from recycled and sustainable items such as old cement bags, cardboard, oil drums & local gommier wood.

Macy's has kindly offered me two items from the Heart of Haiti Collection for review: a heart pendant and a Songbird picture frame. Both items are made by Serge Jolimeau and his collective of young artists. As a world-renowned metal artist, Serge Jolimeau has trained hundreds of young apprentices over the years, giving them the gift of art and the ability to earn a living wage. He also presides over the guild organization (ADAAC) that links and guides the many local artisan ateliers.

Each item from the Heart of Haiti Collection is a unique work of art made by hand. It's hard to believe that these beautiful pieces of artwork were once nothing but a pile of raw scrap metal. I'm deeply impressed by the exquisite craftsmanship displayed by the Songbird picture frame. Every songbird surrounding the frame has a vivid, distinct expression and posture. The somewhat irregular shape of the frame gives us the feel of nature, life, and willpower.

The Heart of Haiti Collection is highly affordable, compared to other handmade products on the market. A portion of every purchase will directly benefit artisans in Haiti, who are working hard to rebuild their homes and support their families. Be sure to check out Heart of Haiti next time you shop for one-of-a-kind home decor. You may meet some of the artists and the pieces they created here.

The Giveaway

Macy's has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a Heart of Haiti pendant. To enter, simply fill out this secure form by 11:59 PM CDT on 8/3/2011. Good luck!

Disclosure: I received free products to facilitate my honest review. No monetary exchange took place. All views and opinions expressed are my own.
