Mommy Mitten Review & Giveaway

Mommy Mitten is a hand warmer that easily secures around the handle bar of your baby stroller to keep your hands protected from the elements without having to deal with clumsy, easy to lose gloves or mittens.



Mommy Mitten is water resistant, insulated and lined with fleece for a cozy experience. It offers an external zipper pocket for easy access to things like your keys, cell phone or your baby's pacifier. You can even choose from 2 color combinations: Black with a pink fleece lining or black with an aqua fleece lining.

Having the opportunity to review Mommy Mitten couldn't have come at a better time. This has been one the craziest winters in our area. In fact, we had record setting snowfall this year with two snowstorms. It's been a long winter. When heading out in this cold weather, I am always concerned with the kids and making sure they are bundled up and I have everything they need. I often forget about myself and gloves are always the last thing on my mind. The Mommy Mitten has been so convenient and warm. It easily wraps around my stroller's handle bar and doesn't get in the way of closing down my stroller. The fleece is soft and warm. I love the little zipper pocket so I can throw in Baby L's snacks and pacifier. It has been so nice to just leave Mommy Mitten on my stroller for the next use. I also don't have to remember to bring my gloves or worry about losing one. It's basically a one-size fits all, so Dear Hubby can use it as well when it's his turn to push the stroller around.


You can purchase your own Mommy Mitten at http://www.mommymitten.com/ or Babies R Us.

WOW! WOW! WUBBZY! GO FOR GOLD - DVD Giveaway

“WOW! WOW! WUBBZY! GO FOR GOLD” DVD – FEATURING MICHELLE KWAN AND TIKI BARBER – RUNS, JUMPS, AND SKATES INTO STORES NATIONWIDE – FEBRUARY 16, 2010!

On your mark! Get set! Go! Wubbzy, the cute and quirky bendy-tailed star of the Emmy Award®-winning Nick Jr. TV series Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, is pumped up and ready to go for gold in the newest installment of the best-selling DVD series from Anchor Bay Entertainment! Starring Michelle Kwan as Michelle Kwanzleberry and Tiki Barber as Touchdown Tiki, “Go for Gold” shoots for the stars with a high-energy, fun-filled collection of athletic-themed episodes that will get kids and families laughing, singing, and moving along. “Go for Gold” scores at retail nationwide, Tuesday, February 16, 2010.

“Wuzzleburg welcomes Michelle Kwan and Tiki Barber, accomplished world-class athletes who are committed to working with children and teaching the importance of hard work and having fun. Michelle Kwan is the most decorated figure skater in U.S. history and she has earned her place among the all-time greats in sports. Tiki Barber is a three-time Pro Bowl NFL star and children’s book author. Wubbzy and his friends are happy to welcome them both to Wuzzleburg,” said Susan Miller, President of Bolder Media and an Executive Producer of the series.

“Go for Gold” (SRP $16.98) gives young Wubb fans a front-row seat as Wubbzy joins a hoopty-hoops team, learns that being small need not get in the way of being a champion, and that playing fair is the only way to truly win.

In “Run for Fun,” one of seven fun-filled episodes on the new DVD, everyone in Wuzzleburg is so excited that the Wuzzolympic Games are coming to town – especially because this year’s official coach is none other than the record-shattering Michelle Kwanzzleberry (Michelle Kwan)! Wubbzy and his pals get geared up to compete in the big event, the Wuzzleburg Wacky Dash, and Michelle advises them to prepare, practice, and have fun! While Wubbzy, Widget, and Walden all devise shortcuts they hope will help them reach the finish line the fastest, Daizy helps her friends – and young viewers – learn that slow and steady wins the race!

The DVD also features Touchdown Tiki (Tiki Barber), the best footy-football player EVER! In the episode “What a Card,” Wubbzy and Daizy both want to round out their footy-football card collections with the very rare Touchdown Tiki card. When their buddy Earl unwittingly gets it, they both try to become his best friend in hopes that he will offer them the coveted card.

The new 82-minute DVD features special coloring and activity pages and music videos to get kids moving.

Scholastic will help to pole-vault the Olympic-themed fun even further with a colorful new 8x8 paperback book inspired by the sporty stories on “Go for Gold.”

The top-rated Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! supports preschool social skills – sharing, listening, compromising, helping and appreciating others, self-awareness and the use of humor as a coping skill. Although their world is more fanciful and imaginative than our own, Wubbzy, Daizy, Widget, and Walden deal with the same social and developmental issues faced by preschoolers. They learn how they fit into the group, how to understand their own feelings and those of others, and how to get along with one another.

One Oh My Baby reader will WIN their own copy of WOW! WOW! WUBBZY! GO FOR GOLD DVD. One random winner will be chosen. Leave your comment by 11:59 pm EST on March 5th. U.S. Addresses only. Good Luck!

HINT Water Review & Giveaway

HINT Water is clear and simple.

A mother of four, Kara Goldin, began HINT Water in 2005 while she was an AOL executive. At the time, her youngest daughter wanted a drink and she chose to have water with lemon instead of sugary juices and soda; thus HINT was born.

The idea behind Hint is simple: pure water, nature's original refreshment, accented with a hint of natural flavor. No sugar, no artificial sweeteners: Hint is a refreshing alternative to sodas, juice and other sweetened drinks and it tastes great.

HINT is available in 10 delicious flavors - Watermelon, Honeydew Hibiscus, Blackberry, Mango-Grapefruit, Pomegranate-Tangerine, Lime, Raspberry-Lime, Pear, Cucumber and Strawberry Kiwi.

I've tried several other brands of flavored water before and found them to be either too sweet or their flavor too strong. It's almost like your mind is playing tricks on your because you know you're drinking water but it tastes like sweet fruit juice. They were never refreshing and in several cases made me more thirsty or left a strange after taste.

We received several bottles of HINT in Watermelon and Raspberry-Lime for review. With the cold weather outside, the bottles arrived already chilled and we tried them right away. At first glance, J loved the bottles. They are clear and simple with bold pictures of the fruit that each water is flavored with. At first taste, they were refreshing like water with a hint of the flavor at the end. J doesn't like plain water and I usually end up mixing about 80% water with 20% juice for him. He drank the HINT water without asking for any juice mixed in. He loved the watermelon flavor, which worked out well because I loved the raspberry-lime.



HINT has been featured in Prevention, People, W, Health, and Marie Claire magazines. HINT was also voted "Best Flavored Water" by Men's Health magazine.

You can purchase HINT at 20 different retailers. Find one close to you by checking out HINT's store locator.

Want to WIN some HINT water? The generous people of HINT are awarding 2 Oh My Baby readers with 5 bottles of HINT EACH! Two winners will be randomly selected and get to choose which 5 flavors they would like to try. Make sure to leave me your comment by 11:59 pm EST on March 1st. U.S. Addresses only. Good Luck!
