this giveaway is now closed. the winner was Becca, comment number 77!

i tend to get really excited about giveaways. true, true, i’ve only had a few, but i still really enjoy getting a chance to give my readers something cool and fun. this is no exception. you may have already seen the Spunky Stork button on my blog, and hopefully you’ve already clicked on it and checked out all the cute, fun, 100% organic cotton clothing.

they were kind enough to send Harper the adorable lavender “love” long sleeved onesie (someday the little nugget will graduate to toddler tees…). it’s not only cute, but super soft and environmentally conscious. and with tons of other fun colors and sayings, you may find it hard to choose which one(s) to buy. next up on my list is the joint production onesie. so clever!

to add insult to injury (the injury being the hurting you’ll want to put on your wallet, and the insult being the cool thing i’m going to say next that will help you justify it), the shipping is free on all orders (to the US). and if you’re giving your purchase as a gift, please don’t even get me started on the cute options for gift wrapping (because seriously? the crib? i die).

the Spunky Stork has graciously offered a $27 gift certificate (the price of almost every onesie and t-shirt, and herro! shipping is free!) to one HH reader. squee!

review & giveaway :: eebee's mix&mash adventures

Posted on | November 24, 2009 | 17 Comments

O f all the things that come along with having an older baby (i still will not call her a toddler), mealtime can be one of the more trying times of the day. it’s messy and if your little one is anything like Harper, it can end in tantrums, spitting things out and throwing food on the ground for the dogs to clean up (or you if you don’t have dogs). there have been a few meals in our house that have ended in tears (mine ironically) because H has refused to eat. she’s picky. like, really picky.

so when i received an email asking to review eebee’s Mix&Mash Adventures, i was both nervous (because my kid thinks she can survive on pancakes and mac&cheese alone) and excited to get some new ideas. eebee is one of only 3 shows that actually enthralls Harper, so i was stoked to get started. eebee’s Mix&Mash Adventures is a fun and cute parent/baby interactive cookbook that encourages making meals and snack with your baby while playing, learning colors and nutrition, and best of all, bonding through food.

with the unique and (my favorite) easy recipes, i learned an important lesson : give into the mess. it can all be cleaned up. Harper had so much fun getting her hands in the ‘Cur-eed Rice & Bananas’ that i couldn’t help but ignore the fact that a lot of it ended up in her hair.

the book comes with an interactive DVD, which would be perfect to play along while you cook/eat if you have a small tv in your kitchen (we don’t, but Harper enjoyed the DVD just as much in the living room after her meal). with cute recipe names (Blueb-eebee Soup) and fun directions (mash, mush, moosh, OLÉ!), we had fun together and hallelujah, no one cried.

buy it :: pick up eebee’s Mix&Mash Adventures at Barnes & Noble, Amazon or head on over to eebee.com to buy it. it will make a great gift for your favorite baby (6 months or older). and it’s so new, chances are the recipient has never seen or heard of it before (no embarrassing duplicate gifts) :]

win it! :: Every Baby Company has offered to give one lucky HH reader a copy of the book and DVD! to enter, leave a comment on this post and feel free to vent about your feeding woes or any tips you’ve found to work at mealtime.

to get more entries, do any (or all!) of the following, comeback and leave a new comment for each, stating what you did so that each comment counts as an entry:

  • become our friend on Facebook (or let me know you already are)
  • follow eebee on Twitter @eebeebaby
  • become eebee’s friend on Facebook
  • post a link to this giveaway on your own blog (please add the link in your comment here).

giveaway will end Friday, November 27th at 11pm PST. winner will be announced saturday, November 28th. winner will be chosen at random using random.org, so be sure each entry is a separate comment. good luck readers! i’m off to (happily) clean rice off of my own shirt.
