Check Out The Albertsons’ Baby & Toddler Aisle

April 28, 2012 By 487 Comments

Sitting here trying to work just reminds me that I need to go to the grocery store. I’m out of a lot of things and Albertsons is the closest grocery store to my house. We love running in there whenever we need something for dinner and I need vegetables tonight. When the kids were little I would usually get their baby food at Albertsons too. Why? Yes one reason was because it was convenient to get it there. I was already going my grocery shopping and their food was on the list too but also because when they had good deals they had good deals and they often have good deals. April is pretty much over but it was baby month and last month they were full of deals. But have no fear, it’s Albertsons and the sales never end there.

You just have to keep your eyes peeled!!!

To celebrate being a mother and the quality products that Albertsons sells for mothers and their babies they sent me some products. I’d forgotten how many different brands they carried for baby food and skincare products. They sell everything you need to take care of a baby. IMG_1293

They sent me Beech Nut items that  have Winnie the Pooh characters on them. And surprisingly almost all of the food they sent was organic or all natural. Albertsons even sent a kit to make your own baby food and things to clean up with too. I love Johnson’s baby wash. Not only can you clean up your baby with these products they also have special tools to clean your bottles, oh and get your bottles and pacifiers there too. Just look at all these products:

Safety 1st Sound Moments Audio Monitor

March 6, 2012 By 214 Comments

Christine was sent two products from Safety 1st. The first one was the Safety 1st ProGrade VersaScan TALKING Thermometer that she reviewed earlier. And the second product was the Safety 1st Sound Moments Audio Monitor that she has decided to donate to Special Delivery. I’m super excited she’s decided to donate it.

Safety 1st Sound Moments Audio Monitor Product Description:

Each Parent Unit has a convenient belt clip and carry loop, making it easy to keep it close by as you go through your day.  With two receivers, you can easily share, or keep one in the bedroom and use the other one around the house. The Baby Unit features a clock and also a tap on/off nightlight with a soft glow that won’t disturb your sleeping baby when you check on them.
Baby Unit

  • Digital clock
  • Tap-on/off nightlight
  • Pager button
    Parent Unit
  • Quick mute button
  • Sound lights
  • 4 channels to minimize interference
  • Power & low battery indicators
  • Audio jack for listening with earphones
  • Belt clip & carry loop
  • Volume control
  • 49 MHz frequency
  • 600+ foot range

Christine’s Review:

I was also sent the New Safety 1st Sounds Moments Audio Monitor to try out and review. When children are not feeling well a monitor is needed more than ever. One of my favorite features of this monitor is that it comes with two Parent Units.  Living in a two-story house I often find myself going back up, or down the stairs to retrieve the monitor while my daughter is sleeping and I’m doing chores.  Keeping a unit on each floor would save that back & forth and ensure that I am always able to monitor our baby.  I also appreciate that all of the units take AA batteries and not a special battery that can only be purchased from the manufacturer.

Additionally this NEW monitor features four channels to minimize interference and a 600+ foot range. The Parent Unit has a quick mute button, volume-sensitive sound lights.  The Baby Unit has a digital clock, soft-glow tap-on/off nightlight and a pager if the Parent Unit is misplaced. Safety 1st definitely had the needs of parents in mind when developing this monitor.  It retails for $39.99.

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to the winner, Becky M.

Live Clean Baby Collection Exclusively at Walgreens

October 29, 2011 By 4 Comments

 

I never really considered Walgreens to be the place to go for an eco conscience product, but low and behold they have exclusivity with Live Clean Baby.

Live Clean is a Canadian brand with eco-friendly personal care products with quite a positive reputation there and now is making it’s way to the US with the launch of Live Clean Baby. This simple, environmentally aware collection of products is specially formulated with both mother’s concerns and baby’s sensitivities in mind. 

With most eco friendly products the price tag is a little bit higher than you would normally consider for a Tearless Shampoo and Wash that gently cleanses baby’s hair and scalp without drying; a Moisturizing Baby Bath that gently cleanses and moisturizes baby’s delicate skin, a Moisturizing Baby Lotion that leaves baby’s skin soft and smooth with a non-greasy feel; a Non-Petroleum Jelly and a Diaper Ointment that soothes baby’s tender skin and forms a protective barrier against wetness; and a Moisturizing Bar Soap that is enriched with Shea butter to gently moisturize baby’s skin. The price is $7.99

If you’re looking for vegan products then Live Clean Baby is for you. Using only natural, non-irritating, supremely gentle plant based ingredients, Live Clean Baby performs efficiently and gently to keep baby looking, feeling – and smelling – their very best. “The criteria we’ve developed for the Live Clean brand begins with an ecologically responsible point of view,” says Executive Vice President, Michelle Sparrock, referring to the common, eco-damaging ingredients you won’t find in Live Clean. “As resilient as babies are, we know that their developing systems are also extremely sensitive. We wanted to create baby products with nothing extraneous, nothing unnecessary. Everything from the natural surfactants to the fragrance is both minimal and mild.” They use no animal ingredients in the formulations. The collection is also cruelty-free meaning none of the products or their ingredients have been tested on animals. In its sensitivity to the environment, Live Clean is also free of phosphates, known contributors to water pollution. Plus their packaging has been carefully created to be as earth-friendly as possible. The Live Clean containers are recyclable; they are made from “virgin” materials, making them far easier to recycle than many plastics. Shipping cartons are made from recycled materials and even the inks used on shipping cartons are safe for the environment. Local vendors are used to the maximum which cuts down on gas consumption and emissions thus reducing their overall carbon footprint.

It is available exclusively at Walgreens, the nation’s largest drugstore chain with more than 8,000 stores across the country as well as online at Walgreens.com.

Miracle Mission: Johnson’s Contribution to My Charity Special Delivery

July 19, 2011 By 12 Comments

I like to take a small project for charity and make it is big as I can. So when Pampers presented me with helping out a local charity, I chose Special Delivery and I got a list of their needs. They always need things to give the new moms.

So what’s Johnson’s good at?

Baby Products!

Johnson’s asked me to host a giveaway for them, The Treasuring Everyday Joy Book and gift basket giveaway. I said yes, and asked for a donation. They sent me six beautiful baskets in fun bright colors.

I’m so grateful to Johnson’s for making this donation and I can’t wait to deliver it to Special Delivery. It’s an awesome donation for any new mom. Especially one in need.

Johnson’s Treasuring Everyday Joy with Alyson Hannigan

June 30, 2011 By 232 Comments

My two bundles of joy bring me happiness every day. They make me laugh cry and love my life. Zoe is 4 going on teenager ready to move out. She wants to wear makeup and go to college and is almost always sporting a princess dress for playtime. Miles is 3 going on driving me up the wall. He pays attention like a cat walks on water but amuses me when he’s in his comedian joke telling mode. They both complete every day for me. Our house had a flood about three weeks ago and the kids have been sleeping on our bed in our room. Each night my husband or I get to sleep in the bed with them, and you may think I’m crazy but I enjoy it a great deal. I get quite a sense of peace and joy sleeping in the same bed as my children. Hearing them breathe is the most peaceful sound in the world to me. That’s my everyday joy!

Joy Logo FinalJohnson’s kicked off the treasuring everyday joy campaign earlier this year. They went around the country and found 50 joyous families and featured them on WE TV and published a book dedicated to Treasuring Everyday Joy. This book is complete with photos and profiles of all 50 families. Leading comedy actress and mother of 3, Alyson Hannigan (CBS’s How I Met Your Mother), kicked off the campaign in honor of treasuring the small joys in one’s life.

“It is so important to treasure everyday moments with your children,” said celebrity mom Alyson Hannigan. “Whether it’s the giggles during bath time or reading with them before bedtime; it’s those simple things that are part of your daily routine which you come to value most as a mom. I never take those moments for granted as they change so much from day-to-day, that each one is a new adventure.”

Alyson HanniganShe has generously signed a few of the TREASURING EVERYDAY JOY™ books and we have one to giveaway along with a basket of Johnson’s products.

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to Gianna.

BabyBjorn High Chair Giveaway

June 4, 2011 By 320 Comments

New York is the happening place for new products, and since I don’t live in New York, and I don’t have a writer that lives in New York, I sometimes miss out on really cool product launches. A few weeks ago, I missed out on the BabyBjorn High Chair launch. I know, I’m not in the babydom anymore, but many of you guys may be and if not, all of us KNOW someone that is or soon will be.

BABYBJORN just introduced their new high chair:

 

The BABYBJÖRN High Chair is the ideal first high chair for children who can sit up on their own, from around five months up until three years. The detachable tray is made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). It has been certified safe for foods and complies with the safety standards for plastics both in Europe (EEC) and the USA (FDA). This product is PVC-free and contains no bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, cadmium, lead, bromine or chlorine. Moreover, the plastic is recyclable.

The entire process from concept to finished product took about eight years. The BABYBJORN high chair project was put on hold after about two years so that they could trouble-shoot and find the safest solution to hold the child securely in the chair. Still, they forged on and made new prototypes to test with families. The result is the BABYBJÖRN High Chair, a high chair designed to make mealtime more enjoyable and safe.
