Happy May & Winner of Disposable Placemats

Happy May! Yes its a wee bit late but as the saying goes better late than never. Things over here in Mrs Mommy Talk land have been very busy. Baby Z has her 1st birthday coming up and mommy is busy planning, prepping and DIY'ing her way towards a Sweet Shoppe theme. Look for an overload of posts on their way here shortly that document the party planning.

I also never got around to announcing the winner of the Disposable Placemats giveaway. So drumroll please....ok a bit cheesy I know. The winner is smallmiracles315.blogspot.com. Be sure to email me so I can get the appropriate information from you so I can send your package on its merry way to you.

Friday Review and Giveaway: Disposable Placemats

Disposable placemats were one of those items I thought I would never need but have turned out to be useful on more than one occasion! They are large adhesive backed patterned placemats that you can stick to the table and place your little ones food on. I have got the most use out of them on trips especially overseas where high chairs are not readily available. If you aren't trusting the hygiene of a restaurant high chair you could also place it on the tray. If for anything they are nice to keep around just in case you need to whip one in in an unexpected situation.
I am giving away one bag of 24 disposable placemats by Babies R Us. To enter you must be a subscriber to this blog since giveaways are for my readers. =) You must also comment below sharing if you have ever used a product like this and did you find them useful.
The winner will be announced in next weeks Friday Review and Givaway. The winner of last weeks is gloriamarie. Please contact me at mrsmommytalk@gmail.com.

Friday Review & Giveaway: Boogie Wipes

I absolutely love Boogie Wipes. They have been my grimy face, crusty nose savior more than once during Baby Z's 10.5 months of life. Unlike using diaper wipes which many be to harsh on your little ones face skin, Boogie Wipes are saline infused and gentle on little ones dirty faces. The wipes are created with a natural saline to help combat mucous that is caused by having a cold or allergies. I always keep a to go package in my diaper bag to use just while we are out and about to keep not only her nose clean but her chubby face as well. I feel that they are gentle enough to use on a daily basis and they work great. A bonus is that they are also paraben, alcohol and phthalate free. I also love that they are super thick and soft. My favorite scent is Great Grape but it comes in a variety of scents including an unscented one.

One reader will win a 3 pack of these Boogie Wipes that include the Great Grape Scent, Unscented and Minty Menthol. To enter simply ensure that you are a subscriber of this blog through Google Friend Connect and leave me a comment below sharing what your go to facial wipe is for your little ones. Winner will be announced in the post on next Fridays Review & Giveaway.

Winter Onsie Exchange...

Attention mommies with little ones who still wear onsies...Its time for the much requested Onsie Exchange. I have been saying I was going to do this for a while but never had a chance to roll it out and get it going. Well now is the time.

What is a Onsie Exchange?

You will be partnered up with another reader of MrsMommyTalk and then you two will send each other a onsie for your little one. I will ensure that when you receive your partner you know the gender, age and size of their little one as well as the name. You get to be super creative here, you can send a cute Carters onsie, a onsie you created yourself or something off of Etsy. Its all up to you. Have fun with it though and try to be creative.



So here is all the details and what you need to do:

• Its open to any mommy who wants to participate. If you are in a country other than the US or Canada, send me an email so we can work something out for you. I really want to be their for all my readers, regardless of location.
• If you wish to participate please leave a comment below stating what type of onsies are your favorite ( i.e. long sleeves, Carters, blue, customized, favorite animal/character etc) AND send me an email asking me to please enter you into the exchange. You can email me by clicking here.

August Gift Exchange...

Mommies, how is everyones gift exchange coming along? I am super excited to see pictures of your packages so make sure to upload them here or email them to me! I am going feature a few of them on here, so the more detailed the pics the better. I want it to be like I am getting to dig into your package myself... OK so maybe I am a little bit too excited here.

 I had a suggestion from a member that next time around I should include more detailed questions to make shopping easier for you. For example, some moms said they would find it easier if they knew some of the following about their partners:

1) Is your LO breastfed or formula fed? If formula fed which type.
2) Does your LO use a pacifier?
3) Cloth diapered or disposable?
4) What size is your LO currently wearing. (Most requested question)

Thank you for your suggestions , I will definitely include a optional questionnaire so that next time around the shopping will be easier for you ladies. For those who have not bought their partners gifts yet, feel free to pester me with any questions you may have. Its really not pestering, I love hearing from you all.

We had almost 100 ladies sign up during this exchange so YAY for mommies. =) Keep an eye out for Septembers "fun stuff " . I have an exchange planned but don't worry it does not include having to buy anything and I have some cool prizes to give away!
