Robeez Weekenders
Saturday, June 21, 2008
THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED.

Our family is a huge fan of Robeez with their comfortable and stylish shoes who wouldn't be right? Myabe you remember this Robeez Review Kai loves her Robeez and I love that I can trust her on her feet. Now that she is walking and running I am able to feel comfortable knowing she is able to run. And the soft soles are sure to last, it was a worry of mine although they are still running strong. I love the style they can go with anything from jeans, to shorts. And my little "big girl" can put them on all by herself, which as we moms know is very important. These have to be some of my favorite Robeez, besides the Trendz. What I love is even though Kai hates socks she will actually wear these shoes, which is just amazing. The girl refuses to wear socks, so these are perfect for her to run around. From outside to in I know her feet are protected, and hey she's comfortable!
The new Robeez Weekend Collection are easy to get on, fashionable, and healthy for your child's foot. And they really do look like a grown up sneaker, which I find fabulous. They have skid-resistant textured suede soles, are easily washable (a plus for sure) and are super soft and comfortable. These shoes won't come off either. So pick up a pair today at Robeez they are sure to keep your child's foor cool this summer.
Or maybe you'd like to win a pair here?
One winner will recieve a pair in the color of their choice. Now onto the rules:
- Simply tell me which pair you would get for your little one.

OnTray Giveaway!
Thursday, March 27, 2008
Have you ever had a child that likes to eat in the store? Then you know how hard it is to get snacks and push the cart. I myself have a shopper snacker. Every time we are in the store she feels the need to have a snack. I don‘t blame her but before my OnTray this was so difficult for me.
I use it every time we go to the store and she loves it. It has a lid so I can carry snacks with me to the store, no more opening packages for snacks. Plus it easily attaches to the cart so I no longer have to hold a thing. Don’t think the OnTray has just one use, you can use them for holding coupons or small toys. The OnTray can even be taken on bikes and if you have a cart cover no need to worry it can be used with one too. It’s the newest way to shop and our family loves our OnTray! I can’t believe I made it that difficult on myself, so if you have a shopping snacker like I do get an OnTray it will change your trips forever!
So would you like an OnTray of your very own? It's easy just coment and tell me one of the other colors OnTray comes in. Don't forget to leave a valid email address so the winner can be contacted. The contest will run until April 8th

I must say I am feeling much better. I actually went and tanned today. I got cute pink sparkley googles too. They have a cute case and all so I am stoked! Delfi did tell me "see I told you we would go get them, you need your eyes" Men really say the most pointles things.
It's nsowing and while it's exciting I don't think class will be canceled tomorrow. While I am secretly hoping I just don't think it will. That's just my luck.
Also if you didn't notice: I wrote a little about my next giveaway. You all really need to come back on the 6th. I will be giving away a bunch of great treats. I want to get the bag of treats out for the winner so this contest WILL BE SHORT!
