I Breastfeed Because…

Did you know it's Breastfeeding week? There are so many reasons why women breastfeed. Some breastfeed because it's a way for them to bond with their babies and some do it because of all the benefits breast milk can provide such as stronger immune system, fewer allergies and so much more.

When Emma was born I knew I wanted to breastfeed. Aside for bonding reason, I wanted to give her the best nutrients and vitamins that formula cannot give. I also did not want to have the same regret for giving up breastfeeding too soon when Olivia was born.

Every mother has their own reason why they breastfeed. Ameda has launched “I Breastfeed Because…” campaign to give women a voice to share why they made the decision to breastfeed their baby. Mothers who are currently breastfeeding, or have in the past, are encouraged to log onto www.ibreastfeedbecause.com to upload 20-second videos that share the reasons why they chose to breastfeed.

For each video uploaded, tweet or video comment, Ameda will make a charitable donation to the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, a non-profit association of donor human milk banks established in 1985 to set standards for and to facilitate establishment and operation of milk banks in America. All those who participate are also automatically entered to win a grand prize of a $2,500 nursery makeover or one of 25 secondary prizes, $50 American Express gift cards. While World Breastfeeding Week is Aug 1-7, this campaign will run through September.

What about you? What's your reason for breastfeeding? Don't forget you can upload a video and share your reason for a chance to win a nursery makeover and at the same time helping a great cost!

I.D. Me Labels Contest!

I would like to share this fun contest I.D. Me Labels is hosting. They are giving away a Giant Camp Combo Pack value at $59.95. I would love to win this...who wouldn't want to?

I never realized the important of labeling everything until I had kids. Every time I turned around I see babies and toddlers have the same bottle, sippy cups and pacifiers as my kids. So now I label anything and everything that belongs to my kids. I even label their toys. You can never have too many personalized labels!

I personally never tried I.D. Me Labels before but I've tried other brands. But what I like about the I.D. Me Labels are the fun and kid friendly designs in their labels. And they have so many to choose from! You can even pick the font you like. Their labels are also dishwasher- and microwave-safe! You can watch the video below for more ideas on things you can label with I.D. Me Labels.

So what are you waiting for. Enter HERE!

"I AM EVERYWEAR" - Fun at the Beach

I can't believe the I am EveryWear 30 day Challenge is almost over. I was one of the 50 moms/dads to try the lillebaby carrier for free. I have been using it everyday and "everywear" for a month now! We've taken it to the park (many times), the zoo and the beach. I have not left home without it. It makes grocery shopping so much easier with a baby and a toddler.

My favorite features of lillebaby carrier:

• I can wear it 5 different ways: cradle, front face in, front face out, back and hip. Emma loves to be carried front facing out!
• Lightweight and it folds compact compare to my other carriers. It can easily fit in my diaper bag.
• Shoulder is well padded. I've carried Emma with it for hours and has not hurt my shoulder or back.
• I love the pockets. I can store my keys, wallet and phone.
• I'm able to carry Olivia in back position.
• This is the only carrier that my husband does not mind using.

A few days ago we went to the beach. It was the first time we took them there. Olivia and Emma loved it, specially Olivia. She did not want to go home that day!

I am EveryWear Challenge

A few weeks ago Scandinavian Child was giving away 50 LilleBaby carriers and all you had to do was email them and let them know why you would like to win one. Guess what? I was one of the 50 that was chosen to try one for free!

For the month of May Scandinavian Child is encouraging parents to get out & about with their babies and hosting the líllébaby “I am EveryWear” Sweepstakes. You can win the ultimate on-the-go prize package featuring the brand new Micralite fastfold superlite stroller and new Lillebaby diaper bags! You can go here for the official rules.

I have been enjoying carrying Emma on my new Lillebaby carrier. She loves being carried in it. Her favorite is front facing forward position. I have been using it many times at home and I love how comfortable it is and easy to put on!

I have been "everywear" with my lillebaby carrier. I've taken it to park many times and grocery shopping. Even Olivia loves to be carried in it. I've used it for both my girls.

This morning Olivia and I made a kite. It was my first attempt making one. It looked pretty easy. But it did not work out the way I wanted it to be. It did not fly at all. It just kept on spinning! But in spite of that we still had a great time. I will definitely try again. Flying kites are just so much fun when you are the one that made it! Having Emma in the carrier just made it even better. I can run around and play with Olivia. Imagine using a stroller on those grass!!

After a long day at the park, we had to stop by at BJ's and buy some things we needed at the house. Olivia was exhausted and wanted to be carried...she was falling asleep!
