Rockabye Baby!

I've never really been a big fan of the traditional baby lullabye. If any, I prefer the instumental variety without vocals. And yes, I do think the lullabies are as much for us as they are for the baby! I can not even count the number of midnight feedings or times of simply holding or rocking my babe to sleep in her room (which is why my enormous cup of coffee is a given this very morning!). So after listening to many "so-so" cds, I discovered Rockabye Baby!! Woo hoo! I was pretty excited (smile).

As quoted by Rockabye Baby! "the label was born of the need to make children's music cool-not only for babies but for their parents, too. We turned to our record collections for inspiration: punk, metal, classic rock. The resulting albums are revolutionary yet reverential. In other words, the perfect gift for a newborn, new parents, or yourself."

Rockabye Baby! offers a large collection of albums, ranging from Bob Marley to Metallica! I personally didn't know where to start; I wanted them all!! After purchasing a mix of songs from iTunes, I also picked up Rockabye's lullaby renditions of U2, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones at a local Chapters store. Pretty sure I'll be back for more!

BabyLegs GIVEAWAY!!

Wow!! It has been a month and a half since I have posted and I feel incredibly bad. Life has been busy.....with a trip down to Taber and Warner to see all the grandparents and then a week or more of dealing (and healing) from pesky cold bugs, as well as feeling the winter blahhs (it's inevitable when you live in Northern Alberta). Okay...enough of my excuses. I am back and ready to post! And in my way of making it up to those of you who take the time to check out my blog, I'm offering my first GIVEAWAY!!

Oh how I love the BabyLegs! They are one of my very fave products out there! Not only do they look super sweet, but they really are practical too. If you don't already own or know about BabyLegs, here's just some of the perks: comfy and stylish, protects those sweet lil' baby legs, makes diaper changes simple, protects soft knees from hard/rough surfaces, keeps legs (and arms) warm, feet remain free for crawling, walking, and dancing, and they fit most children from newborn to size 10. They come in many different styles and colours, for both the girlies and the boys! I absolutely adore how they look when worn under tutus and pettiskirts....so sweet.

If you would like to get your hands on a pair of BabyLegs, here's your chance. Leave a comment on the naturally sweet blog and your name will be entered in a draw to receive a pair of the Neopolitan BabyLegs (shown in above photo)!! Draw will be made April 5th. Best of luck!

stainless steel

organicKidz has created the world's first stainless steel baby bottle!! Sounds crazy I know.....but read on to hear about all the benefits of this new product!

These bottles are BPA free (or Bisphenol A free) and do not contain any other harmful substances like Phthalates, PVC's or lead. Last April the Canadian Government claimed BPA to be toxic and banned further use in baby bottles and infant formula can linings. So we already know that they can make BPA free plastic, so why go with stainless steel?? It's super durable and long-lasting; meaning it can be exposed to heat and cold without becoming brittle or break down. It's scratch-resistant, so no food or bacteria can get in! Stainless steel is also a 100% recyclable product!

This Calgary based company designed their stainless steel bottles with kids in mind; making them light weight, easy to hold, and hard to damage (we all know how the drop it, bang it, throw it game goes!). Stainless steel is also easy to clean and dishwasher safe (does anyone buy anything that's not these days??).

And if this product doesn't sound great already, they have also made stainless steel super-cute!! The baby bottles come in 4 oz., 7 oz., and 9 oz. sizes in a variety of trendy color choices and patterns.

You can view these award-winning bottles at www.organickidz.ca. I am personally planning on ordering one (or two) when it comes time to weaning my baby!
