Wordless Wednesday- Lovebug's first Christmas picture!

Go here for more Wordless Wednesday

Things are a'changing!

You may have noticed by now that Moma Lovebug is on it's very own domain now! Typing in the blogspot address should still reroute you to the new address, but you may want to update it, just in case :)
All of the buttons should be correctly linked, so if you have my button on your blog, I'd appreciate you changing the link to our new address. If you do so and are entering the giveaways, you'll get extra entries for changing it!

There are going to be other little tweaks and changes coming up too! So don't miss them :)

Oh, and don't forget- one comment here, here, or here will get you an extra entry!

MyClyns Review and Live Giveaway!

"When an exposure has occurred, response time is critical to lower your chance of becoming infected. In cases of exposure, you need a product that works effectively and is safe to use anywhere.

With MyClyns Personal Spray a whole new standard of care is available to protect you in the field when and where you need it. MyClyns Personal Spray is a protective spray in an easy-to-use convenient pen-like device that allows you to protect yourself immediately after an exposure while you are still attending to your care recipient."

We are in the thick of cold and flu season and it's just not pretty. With the Lovebug, I'm trying extra hard to keep her safe and away from germs. When we are out shopping, it only takes a second for someone to walk over and touch her face. I try to deflect, but some people are just too fast. I hate using a wipe on her face, as they bother her face and dry her skin out. So, MyClyns is the perfect solution!

There is no alcohol, it's non-toxic, and non-burning. Best of all, it's safe for all ages. I tried spraying it on my face as soon as it came in the mail. There was no burning, no tingling, no smell. No anything. Which is a good thing! It actually felt refreshing! I haven't tried it on Lovebug yet, only because we haven't had a situation where I would need to. MyClyns is going in my diaper bag for sure!

MyClyns may end up in my Husband's stocking this year too! He is a massage therapist and is in contact with a lot of people each and every day. It would make me feel better know he had some protection if a client accidentally sneezed on him! Wouldn't you love to put this in your loved ones stocking?

MyClyns is available at many different retailers, including CVS! That is great for me, because CVS is the closest place to me! It's a little more expensive ($7.99-$9.99) than other sanitizers, but because this is safe for your eyes, nose, and mouth, it's very worth it! Be sure to check out MyClyns on Facebook, too!

Best of all? One Moma Lovebug reader is getting their own MyClyns!

The Homestead Company Review and Giveaway!

"The Homestead Company was created in September of 2005. It was originally started as good-neighbor program to share and help other moms like me find the best, natural alternatives to baby products. It was later conceived as an idea for a home-based business as a way of sharing my knowledge in nutrition and health wellness to a more broad network. My dedication to this field of study (Nutrition and Toxicology) began in 2002 when I was learning about how to improve my health, nutrition, baby product selection and conserve resources. I realized that I was doing so much research on diets, nutrition, health and toxicology that I decided to begin a Masters of Science in Nutrition. This opened a new way of thinking as I began to realize how much we don't know about what is in our foods, cleaning supplies, and other every day household items."

The Homestead Company kindly offered to send me the Mommy & Baby Gift/Starter Set. My daughter was going through a really bad diaper rash at the time, so I couldn't wait to get it! We don't have any other cloth diaper safe diaper cream, and liners were getting to be a pain. So, because the Mommy & Baby Gift/Starter Set diaper rash cream is cloth diaper friendly, it made it even better!
The Mommy & Baby Gift/Starter Set contains a 4 ounce Baby Wipe Companion, a 1 ounce Baby Wipe Companion, a 1 ounce Diaper Rash Oil, a 2 ounce Baby Balm, and Lavender and Chamomile Body Butter.
I loved each and every product. Within just two diaper changes, using the Baby Wipe Companion and Diaper Rash Oil has almost completely gotten rid of the rash! I was completely amazed! We use the Wipe companion everyday, and I keep the smaller size in the diaper bag for when we are out and about. I have noticed considerably less rashes since we started using these products from The Homestead Company.
I love the body butter too! Lovebug's skin has been fine with it, thank goodness. It's a little bit strong, but as soon as you apply it, the smell dissipates, and you are left with soft baby butt skin! The set is priced at $34.99, and while that seems sort of expensive, I think it is a great deal! You get 5 products, and they each last a very long time!

Not only does The Homestead Company have a ton of awesome products for Baby, but they also have Spa, Skincare, and other Gift Sets available, too. Check out this Eczema Oil, safe for all ages. Plus, there are no chemicals that cause nasty side effects, like another prescription cream. The Skin Essentials Gift Set would make a great holiday gift, too! I love getting natural things that I can pamper myself with!

The Homestead Company has generously offered to give one Moma Lovebug reader a giftcard for $40!

I'm going to NYC!

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine, Little E's Momma, told me about an upcoming Martha Stewart show focusing on bloggers! Thinking I would never get picked, I still applied for tickets, and crossed my fingers.
Yesterday, I got the email confirming that I got tickets!! I literally screamed out loud. I'm super excited! Martha has asked that everyone bring their laptop or phone, or whatever they blog from to the audience too! How cool is that? So look out for some tweets while I'm there!

This is going to be a busy couple of weeks! Christmas, then New Years. Lovebug's birthday, a two week birthday bash on my blog, visiting NYC! And then a ton of other birthday's and parties sprinkled in between.

It has been years since I've been to NYC! Hubby and Lovebug are coming along, too. It will be their first time to New York! YAY!!!!

Extra Entries

For the past week, I've been giving out extra entries as a part of the 12 days of Christmas. I've noticed some people claiming them, and not using them though.

I don't mind waiting a day or two, but there are entries from the first day that haven't been claimed. I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but if you claim the extra entries, please use them. Or, don't claim them, and let another person have that chance.

Thank you!!

Edit: I just wanted to add that you can only use the extra entries on the giveaways that were available on the day that you won them. For example, if you won entries yesterday, but haven't use them, you could not use them on the new giveaway going up on Sunday.
