YoBaby Review and Giveaway! *CLOSED*

When I was a kid I remember my mom giving me yogurt and telling me that it was ice cream. I was never sure why she did that and then finally one day I asked her and she told me it was because she hated me eating ice cream that was full of sugar so instead she gave me plain yogurt with fresh fruit. When I look back on it I realize what a great idea it was (even if it was a little sneaky) because now I love yogurt and hate ice cream. Thankfully all of my children love yogurt as much as I do and will even opt to have it as a snack over ice cream.

About a year ago I was introduced to Stonyfield Farms and their line of organic yogurt and have since started purchasing YoBaby yogurt exclusively for my little ones. YoBaby yogurt is the only yogurt specially created for babies and can be introduced into babies diet as early as 6 months. All of Stonyfield Farms products are made using natural and organic ingredient which always makes me feel better about giving it to my children. YoBaby yogurt is made without the use of antibiotics, syntheitic growth hormone, or toxic persistent pesticides. YoBaby also helps to develop and a healthy brain, immune system, and growth! There are no preservatives, or artificial sweeteners, colors, or flavors in their products either as they only use the freshest, most natural ingredients for their yogurts. My children love YoBaby yogurt because of the fresh naturally sweet taste and I love YoBaby yogurt because it's great for them! In addition to YoBaby Stonyfield Farms also offers YoKids ,which isn't sold in my local grocery store :(, organic milk, organic yogurt smoothies, and even organic ice cream and frozen yogurt!


Now since you've sat so patiently and listened to me tell you how much I love Stonyfield Farms and YoBaby I thought maybe you'd like the chance to win some YoBaby of your own! The great people at Stonyfield have offered to give one Misadventures in Baby Raising reader a gift pack of goodies! The goodies include a YoBaby Bowl with lid, a YoBaby Bib and a bundle of 5 free coupons for YoBaby yogurt (each coupon good for one free multi pack of yogurt)! Yummo huh? A second place winner will receive $5.00 in coupons for Stonyfield Farms products!

Kiss My Face Review and Giveaway!!!!*CLOSED*

I am always on the lookout for new products for my kids and it's become an obsession to find only the safest most natural products for them. With more and more companies introducing "Eco-friendly" and "natural" alternatives to their original products it's becoming more difficult to sort out the good from the hype.

I heard about Kiss My Face from one of my friends a while back but never really gave the company a second thought. Of course this was before I really committed myself to being more green in all aspects of my life. Recently I was asked to do a review for Kiss My Face and I thought that was fates way of telling me that I needed to start using these products so I accepted (I wouldn't want to mess with fate after all) and I'm very glad that I did.

Kiss My Face is a company that is committed to producing high quality beauty and personal care products that are organic and natural. The company (founded in the 1980's) was the brainchild of two vegetarians who were looking for healthy personal care alternatives...Kiss My Face was created from their need to find great natural products. The Kiss My Face collection features everything from toothpaste and shower gels, to cosmetics and deodorant.

Kiss My Face also has a great kids line that includes hand wash, toothpaste, bubble wash, and lip balms among other products. Kiss My Face Kids is free of artificial colors, fragrances, parabens, and SLS. The kids collection is full of natural ingredients including Organic Green Tea Extract (which helps protect against sun damage), Nettle Extract (to stimulate hair growth and improve the condition of the scalp), and Tea Tree Oil (which is known for its germ killing abilities).

My kids received the entire kids line to try out and boy did they have a great time reviewing these products. The first thing they noticed about the products was the brightly colored bottles and the adorable animals on them. Each package features a different endangered species, Peter the Panda, Preston the Penguin (my personal favorite) and Walter the Whale among others. [One very cool aspect of Kiss My Face Kids that I loved is the fact that your children can go online to www.kissmyface.com/kids and interact with the animals, learn interesting facts about them, download coloring pages, and even play games!] When my children used the products they raved about the scent (we received the Orange u Smart scent) they loved the way it smelled. I have to admit I wasn't too crazy about the orange scent but they liked it and that's all that mattered. Overall I really was impressed with the way the products worked, they got my babies squeaky clean and they had fun getting that way, which is very unusual. They especially loved the Walter the Whale soap which is actually shaped like a whale (so cute). I was most impressed by the 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner my fiance and I both couldn't believe how soft Gaige's hair was after we washed his hair with it!

Buy it: The products range in price from $5.95 to $9.95 and can be purchased online at www.kissmyface.com as well as Target, Whole Foods, and natural food stores.

Win it: Kiss My Face has generously agreed to give one Misadventures in Baby Raising reader the entire kids line of products (includes all of the products pictured above)...

• Self-Foaming Shampoo and Body Wash
