Baby Nari Giveaway!!!

by Baby Half Off on February 3, 2012

Are there any moms out there with aching backs, after repeatedly picking up and setting down your baby??  Well get yourself prepared for a solution.

The awesome folks over at Baby Nari are offering one of their awesome products to give away to one of you lovely people!!

Introducing, the

Baby Hip Hugger!!

 

Check out the video we made, demonstrating what a Baby Hip Hugger is, and how to use it:

 

 

So, what did you think?!?  Pretty great, right?  I’m not kidding you, after making that video, I walked around with it still on, and June sitting on my hip.  I rested her on my arm and fed her, and I looooved that I didn’t have to have a pillow to prop up my arm!  This is seriously genius.  There have been many days where I have been out in public and have had to put her to sleep in my arms, and my back, arms, and shoulders all ACHE because of it.  But then I can’t rearrange once she’s fallen asleep because she’ll wake up.  I love that the Hip Hugger balances the baby’s weight to take the pressure and strain off of my body!

So here’s how you win one:

 

1)  ”Like” Baby Nari on Facebook, then COME BACK HERE to leave a comment that you did it!  {If you put a comment on Baby Half Off’s Facebook page, it won’t count!}

2)  For a second entry, share it on Facebook, or on your blog, or Tweet about it, then COME BACK HERE AGAIN, make sure to put a SECOND comment with your link attached to where you shared it!

 

This giveaway will close next Thursday, Feb. 9th @ 10 p.m.

Bright Bin~ Making lunchtime easy, fun and eco-friendly!

by Baby Half Off on February 3, 2012

Last year Caleb only had half-day kindergarten, so this is the first year that we’ve packed lunches for him.  I’ve learned lunch-packing lessons the hard way….sandwich bread smashed by juice boxes, pudding leaked all over the rest of the food….I got to the point that I would cringe before I opened Caleb’s lunchbox, hesitant to face the next mess that I knew was coming.

Today’s deal over at Baby Half Off

Bright Bin

New Generation Lunchboxes

is here to solve all of those problems!

The 3-compartment lunch box is a genius idea for separating sandwiches so they don’t get smashed by heavier food.  It saves both money and the environment by eliminating ziplock baggies.  I love the velcro fastener that connects to the lunch carrier so that it isn’t lost.  Dishwasher safe, these lunch boxes are manufactured using FDA approved materials that are lead-free, phthalate-free, PVC-free, and BPA-free.

Here’s to mess-free lunches!!!

Envirosax~ Every Little Bit Helps

by Baby Half Off on February 1, 2012

When I think of global warming and saving the earth, I tend to get overwhelmed.  Sure, my little family recycles and we use high-efficiency light bulbs, but we don’t currently drive a vegetable-oil-filled car, or live in a home run by solar power. I find myself wondering how much these small things that my family is doing can really make a difference?

But the truth is, whether great or small, these things do matter.   And helping our little ones understand that they are making a difference educates them to not be wasteful and feel pride in taking care of the Earth we live in.

This is one of the reasons that Baby Half Off is so excited to feature

Envirosax!

It’s a company founded by a couple from Australia, who believe in providing products that are both adult and kid friendly.  They have created stylish, lightweight, waterproof and portable reusable bags, in all different sizes.  This company donates a percentage of their profits to non-profit organizations and charities that work to preserve our environment.


Aren’t these awesome?  The bags are so cute, I find myself actually wanting to go to the grocery store again, instead of dreading it.  Which is something I thought I would hear myself say…..oh, you know, never.

Not only that, but thinking ahead to Christmas time, wrapping a present in one of these bags would be such a good idea!!  Again, every little bit helps, and it would be saving the environment by not using wrapping paper.

And for the kids? Oh my goodness.

So, so cute!!

I can easily picture Caleb and Leah carrying these around, either to the park or to carry piano books for lessons and dance shoes for dance class.  But teaching them that their bag is not only awesome because it’s cute, but because they are helping our environment is what is most important.

Even better, Envirosax is offering an exclusive deal by allowing Baby Half Off to exclusively feature some of these patterns, only available to our customers.  Isn’t that awesome??

So buy one for each member of your family, and feel good knowing that you’re doing the Earth some good.

My Hikes~ Stylish, temporary hems for kids!

by Baby Half Off on January 31, 2012

Growing up, I had a list of nicknames related to my height….or, lack thereof.  Short stuff, half pint, speedbump, shorty….the list goes on.

Then I married Ben, who was on the normal-to-possibly-shorter male side, and now our poor children have been blessed with the genetics of 2 height-deficient parents.  {Anyone else dipping in the short end of the height pool??  Let’s do a virtual high-five!}  During their well-checks, if one of my kids is even on the charts in the height department, Ben and I throw them {and ourselves, let’s be honest} a little party.

To help with the problem of too-long pants, we’re currently rolling down the tops of jeans in order to help our kids from tripping over the two inches of material that scrapes the ground.

Luckily, today’s deal is going to solve that problem for our awesome little shorties.

 

My Hikes Pant Cuff Fasteners

are designed to temporarily adjust the length of pants for children who need theirs a little shorter.  The pant cuff fasteners help to crop pants in hotter temperature, or for playing in water, or just for that in-between size before they’ve completely grown into them.  The pant cuff fastener just slides into place, and easily snaps closed.  They come in fun designs that both boys and girls will love!

{I sure wish these had been around when I was growing up, it would have saved a lot of the hems of my pants from fraying…}

i like book couples book~ Looking Beyond the Wet Towels

by Baby Half Off on January 30, 2012

When we were first married, Ben had a habit of throwing his wet towels over our dirty clothes hamper.  I used to think it was careless and sweet, and picked them up with newlywed love in my eyes, so excited to be able to do anything for him.  After a couple of months of daily towel-pick-up duty, the magic and excitement was wearing off.  I asked him to pick them up, but he continually forgot, so I did what I felt was necessary:  I moved the hamper into the closet.  However, the towels then moved to a bench in our bedroom, and then eventually settled into their permanent location….on our footboard, with one side of wet towel draping onto our bed.

We are now 9 years into marriage, and I’m still picking up Ben’s wet towels.

Case in point

{picture taken today, after I let the towels build up a little}:

 

But you know what?  Even though the towels drive me bonkers, our marriage is a happy one.  It’s a work in progress because it isn’t always perfect, but something I have absolutely loved about being married to Ben is that we try really hard to stay connected every day.  We love each other a whole lot, and make sure to tell each other why.  I’m grateful I married someone who is so easy to communicate with…..even if he has his bad habits, and I have mine.

One way to easily keep that connection, no matter what is going on in your relationship,

is through the deal being featured today:

the i like book’s couples book.

 

It would be really hard to stay frustrated with someone if they’re telling you what they like about you, wouldn’t it?  {Even if you’re picking up their wet towels….}  The concept is to have a couple share a book, each writing their own comments, making it personal for their significant other.

 

This is such a great Valentine’s Day gift, wedding gift, anniversary present, or just any day you want to re-connect in your relationship.

Vintage Rose Wraps~ Helping Me Accessorize

by Baby Half Off on January 26, 2012

I have this awesome sister-in-law who is seriously stylish.  Every time I go shopping with her, she teaches me something new about fashion.  Most of the time we’re shopping, I feel like I’m on the show “What Not to Wear” and camera crews are going to jump out at me at any moment, whisking me away with this sister-in-law of mine to give me a fashion makeover, forcing me out of my usual flip-flops and ponytails.  It hasn’t happened yet, but I’m banking on it happening someday.  There are two accessories she has talked to me about for several years:  headbandsand belts.  She explained that both are an easy way to add a “pop” of color, spicing up even my most dreary outfits.

I think this sister-in-law of mine would be excited to see that today we’re featuring BOTH of those accessories, through the company

Vintage Rose Wraps

selling their adorable headbands and belts at 50% Off!!

 

 

Check out how cute these are:

 

The headbands come in one-size -fits-all {the belts one-size-fits-most}, soft cotton fabric with an easy tie to help secure them in place.

So Carrie, my lovely fashionista sister-in-law, I’m going to purchase a couple of these for myself and knock your accessorizing socks off when we see each other again!
