Colgate Eco-Classica Crib Mattress Review & Giveaway (RV: $149)

Colgate is a third generation family owned company that manufactures the highest quality crib mattresses in the country. They have received many awards and awareness for making the finest mattresses, changing pads and foam pads. The recognition is well-deserved, too. They have been the Baby and Child magazine readers choice winner for five years in a row, ranked #1 in a leader consumer report and have the Greenguard Certification.

A little bit of Colgate's history: Sol Wolkin (a US Army Force veteran) and his wife Anne started Colgate Mattress Atlanta Corp. in 1955 from just a $1,500 loan. In the beginning, they only had one employee that was not a family member, although to this day, they might consider their employees the same as family as most have been with them for more than a decade, and some have been around for over 30 years. Though the founders of Colgate have recently passed, the company has thrived and remained family owned. I would like to personally thank Dennis Wolkin, grandson of Sol & Anne, for giving me the opportunity to review this product. He has been very helpful and informative throughout this process.

Juppy Baby Walker (RV: $29.95) Review & Giveaway

The only baby walker that can fold up and fit into your purse?! Yeah, sure, I'll take one! Thanks to Greg at Rafflecopter and the lovely people at Juppy, I have been given the opportunity to try this magnificent product out and give one of my readers one as well! I will start by saying this idea is brilliant. Before even having a baby of my own, I can recall countless times that I watched aunts & uncles tirelessly hunched over, holding onto little hands, walking around the house. Sometimes this was just to entertain the baby and pass some time, other times it was to give the baby a head start on walking! No matter what the reason was, they always sat down afterwards exhausted and complaining of their backs hurting.

Ayala's Organic Herbal Water Review & Giveaway

Ayala's Herbal Water was created by Dr. Ayala in the search to find a healthy and delicious way to feed children and adults. She made her own blends of herb-infused waters that are just incredible. And they are so unique! There are flavors I have never tasted in my life in these drinks.

DaVinci Gourmet Drink Syrups Review & Giveaway

DaVinci Gourmet makes incredible syrups to spice up any drink. When I was in high school I worked at an independant coffee shop and every syrup we used was made by DaVinci. During down-time at work, I would experiment with making new, fun drinks like a Vanilla Love (vanilla, raspberry, and white chocolate in espresso) and they always turned out so well! I even had a couple drinks added to the menu :)

Eco-Friendly Go Green! Binkie Bungee Review & Giveaway

If you're a mom, you have lost a pacifier or two (or ten). This can be extremely annoying when you're on the go and it is no where in sight. It can also be just as annoying when you're at home and realize you have to hunt every store for that one pacifier that your baby likes. And while you're in the store searching for one, down goes another on the dirty mass merchant's store. After finding Z.Daisy, things have gotten a lot easier.

Fiftyseven-Thirythree Apparel Review & Hoodie (RV: $48) Giveaway

Fiftyseven-thirtythree is an East Oakland based company that makes its products with water based, solvent free inks. Not only does this company appeal to me because I was born near there and have family there, but the people running the show are awesome! After contacting Justin, he was more than happy to send me a t-shirt to review!

Bambo Nature Organic Diapers Review & Giveaway!

Here we have it: a convenient alternative to cloth diapers. Bambo Nature makes quality, ultra-thin, cloth-like diapers that are Eco-friendly AND disposable. For my review I was sent a package of the diapers to try out on my daughter. One of my favorite features on this diaper is the wetness indicator. It is very rare to find a diaper above size N or 1 that has a wetness indicator still! And sometimes... you just can't tell without it. It's nice to know for sure instead of changing a diaper that might be clean.

Someone's Hero {In Honor Of The Tata's} T-shirts & Wristbands Giveaway (RV: $50)!!

Let's hear it for Breast Cancer Awareness!!! I have been so very excited about this giveaway hop, as I have had a few family members diagnosed with breast cancer. I am very blessed to say that both my aunt and grandmother are both survivors! They have inspired the rest of the family, including myself, and many of their friends to get checked regulalry. It is so important and I am SO happy to see more and more awareness about it every year!!

My sponsor for this hop is a GREAT company called Someone's Hero. After receiving a package from them with two (extremely high quality) t-shirts for the cause, I was in love with Someone's Hero. They sent me a pink with grey writing shirt for me and a grey with pink writing shirt for my husband! We both love them, they are super soft and very well fitted. And yes, he is proud to wear oi

Someone's Hero is not just a T-shirt company though. They are a business that supports causes all around the world, all year long, by donating 25% of their proceeds from every single T-shirt to the corresponding organization! While I am sure their greatly cancer awareness shirts get quite a bit of attention, they also have shirts for the everyday hero, military hero, firefighter hero, and even the patriotic hero!

My husband and I have been wearing these shirts ALL over town and even have some snappy pictures of us in them! I actually intend to devote an entire post to a picture montage of our adventures in our Someone's Hero shirts, but because I am writing this on my phone, they will be missing from this post. Sad for this entry, yes, but I am excited to have another excuse to write another post about Someone's Hero :)

So if you haven't already left my post to Google this company, I'll make it easy on you and just let you know that you can read more about Someone's Hero as well as order their shirts at www.supportmyhero.com!

As for this awesomeme giveaway, Someone's Hero has graciously offered up 2 T-shirts as well as 2 matching wrist bands to one lucky winner! A total retail value of $50! Keep one for yourself, and give one to YOUR hero :)
