Closed - A Personalized Baby Tooth Pillow Giveaway - USA & Canada

I am very proud to bring you this fantastic giveaway! This item, offered by BTFairies, is remarkably cute and truly unique! There is no other tooth fairy pillow as unusual and personalized as this one. Shaped like a tooth in white soft fur, your child's name is lovingly embroidered in pink or blue on the pocket where they will carefully place their tooth and wait for that special surprise from the Tooth Fairy. There is a special "memory" ribbon to hang their buddy on the bedpost, doorknob or they can place it under their pillow. It also has an adorable embroidered face and gold wings. If that's not enough , there's a gold heart that when pressed plays Brahm's Lullaby. This is truly a memory for years to come!

Author Willow Yamauchi - Guest Post With Upcoming Book Review & Giveaway

I was breaking my head looking for ways to introduce you to this special gal... and then I gave up! To tell you truth, there is no way! She's a mommy with spirit. With edge and wit that will grasp your attention right from the get-go. She has charisma and, I must warn you, a touch of bluntness... yet without crossing that offensive line. She tells it how it is. And it's refreshing!

Get Your Children Into Reading... And Enjoying It!

Reading is something considerably important in a child's life and development... in my personal opinion. It unleashes his imagination, awakens his mind to new horizons and challenges him intellectually. Bottom line, books can be a powerful tool for your kiddo. Though it's one thing to read to your child, but what about making him actually enjoy it?! Well, I came up with 10 ideas to make your little angel discover the simple joys of reading.

Author Jess C. Scott - Guest Post With Upcoming Book Review & Giveaway

The following is a guest post by author Jess C. Scott. Her latest book, The Other Side of Life, tells the story of a thieving duo who’s world turns upside down when an Elven rogue uncovers the heinous dealings of a megacorporation. The genre of this book is a mixed of urban fantasy, cyberpunk and YA with adult crossover appeal. It is recommended for adults or young adults seeking cyberpunk themes (not hardcore sci-fi), and a love story (not fluffy romance). 

I will be offering a book review and giveaway from May 15th until May 30th. Write it down in your calendars and make sure you check back in during those dates to get in on the action! All the details will be announced then! In the meantime, you can read Jess C. Scott's guest post and get to know her a little better!

The Imagination Movers On Tour

The Rock-O-Matic tour by the Imagination Movers is currently on the road with dates going all the way into October. Every live shows promise to be a stellar, thanks to the guys’ highly interactive music and winning ways with an audience. Says Collins: “Our goal is to make many kids’ first concert experience also one of their parents’ most memorable experiences. We hope everyone leaves needing a nap!" Knowing how these guys have been winning every child's heart since 2005, I think this is a show you'll want to treat your kids to!

Earth Day, Every Day

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money. ~Cree Indian Proverb

Every year, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the 1970's birth of the environmental movement as we know it today. Earth Day was celebrated for the first time on April 22, 1970, when U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson encouraged students to develop environmental awareness projects in their communities. Mr. Nelson, Senator of Wisconsin, proposed the first major environmental event in U.S. history in an effort to shake the political world and force the insertion of environmental issues within the national political frame. The very first Earth Day led to the creation of the The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the adoption of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. It is only in 1990, that Earth Day became a global event, mobilizing 200 million people in 141 countries and acting as a lever for global environmental issues. Today, more than 500 million people in 184 countries are taking part, every year, in Earth Day. Over the years, it has become the largest, and with the most participation, eco-friendly event on the planet.

A Mommy Recommendation - David's Tea

Prior to a few years ago, I utterly disliked tea and coffee. Not to be playing on words here, but they were definitely not my cup of tea! I thought coffee tasted quite nasty and I thought tea was a fancy drink for the over 60-year-olds... no offence! This all changed when I met my boyfriend... aaaahhh the wonderful things love will make you do! And that's where my love story with tea began. I started off with the basic, usual stuff, Tetley's Orange Pekoe. The good old-fashionned tea. And then, a year ago or so, my parents got us a gift. A nice arrangement from David's Tea. Back then, I was somewhat familiar with the company, yet I didn't really know what they were all about.
