My Friend Huggles sent me Sophia, who's the "generous" one:

I am now your best friend forever!

And, you are also my favorite.

A friend is someone you choose.

With a friend I smile.

My friend Huggles and I like to be generous.

I like to give to others, and share all that is hers.

I like to make you happy, and I wish to see you shine!

I know that Riley is going to just LOVE Sophia when she sees her Christmas morning! Sophia is so cuddly and sweet. And BIG - she's as big as Riley is!

Here she is with my All You magazine for scale!

Sophia is the perfect doll for Riley - having the virtue of generosity is important with siblings (especially twins!) Be sure to head over to http://myfriendhuggles.com to see the full line!

Holiday Helpers Giveaway - Baby Bee-Haven #holidayhelpers

...An idea was born for the See ‘n Store™ stroller organizer with media holder. This idea now has spawned an entire line of products to make parents’ lives easier and more relaxed. Four years later, I am proud and excited to share our products with you. Each Baby-Beehaven product has evolved from my own personal experiences and needs—concepts that I wanted in a product but could not find in the general marketplace. The Baby-Beehaven product line is created by a mommy for mommies, daddies, and of course, for our little ones, too. This is why I know you will find them as useful and essential as I have!

-Heather Prattas,  President, Baby Bee-Haven, LLC

Don't you hate that? You know that there is something that will make your life easier but can't find it? We've all been there. Heather Prattas of Baby Bee-Haven took it one step further and created the See'n Store to solve her dilemma (check out the FULL review on The Giveaway Train):

See'n Store $39.99

Stroller rides can't all be as easy as a walk in the park. Whether you're running errands or waiting in line, sometimes mom needs to keep baby entertained on the go. Finally there's a stroller organizer that does it all, featuring multi-media storage as well as room for all your must-haves!

• Keep baby entertained and engaged on the go!
• Contain, carry, and protect all mom's must-haves
• Secure, viewable holder for tablet or portable DVD player
• Protective sleeve offers multi-media storage (for traditional strollers)

I was lucky enough to receive another one of Baby Bee-Haven's awesome products - the Cush'n Go Stroller Pad:

Cush'n Go Memory Foam Stroller Cushion $39.99

Give your child the best seat outside the house with the ultimate solution in stroller support and style, recommended and used by medical professionals.

• Soft, stylish support for baby's back, head, & neck
• High-quality memory foam conforms to infant's head, decreasing resistance and the risk of flat-head syndrome.
• Recommended by medical professionals
• Reversible, two-sided design
• Compatible with most stroller harness systems.
• Machine washable (read care instructions)
• Product dimensions (WDH): 13.4" x 1" x 29"

I LOVE that is fits into just about any stroller - or car seat! The memory foam is incredibly soft, but flat and safe for newborns and up. I have it in one of my QuickSmart Strollers - Dylan thinks it's so cozy and soft. I almost wish it was me in the stroller! The fabric is reversible - minky on one side and soft stretch jersey on the other which won't stretch out or bunch up, so it's also aesthetically pleasing!

WIN IT!

Holiday Helpers Giveaway - Lovable Labels - TWO WINNERS! #holidayhelpers

It is said that necessity is the mother of invention and this proved all too true for Laura Porreca, Owner and President of Lovable Labels. 

When Laura’s first child entered daycare, she was told to label all his belongings.  This meant labeling everything from his outdoor clothing, to his indoor shoes, lunches, sippy cups and backpack. Laura recognized a need in the market for personalized labels that were tough and durable and could stand the test of time and the everyday use that children put them through.

In 2003 Lovable Labels was born! Today, the company continues to grow and offer exciting opportunities for its team of sales agents.  Laura also feels strongly about giving back and has incorporated fundraising into the Lovable Labels company. Schools, daycares and camps use our labels to raise funds for extra-curricular activities while providing a practical and useful product for parents and children.

That excerpt from the Lovable Labels website sounds like they only do labels for kids stuff, right? Nope, not quite! Lovable Labels also makes the cutest address and gift labels too!

Lovable Labels sent me a full set of their awesome address labels and gift seals!

I LOVE the quality - they aren't printed the "standard way" - so they won't run if they get wet (hellooo! I live in Oregon!) And I love the fun design - a cute dancing penguin!

Plus some great stocking stuffers and gifts starting at $14.99! Everyone can use some fun labels, right? I love the choice of colors and styles too - something to fit every personality!

WIN IT!

Lovable Labels wants to help your hand from cramping trying to address all of those Christmas cards this year! TWO lucky readers will WIN a set of address labels and gift seals PLUS a $5 Off Code! Simply follow the rafflecopter entry  below! Giveaway ends 11/30!
