Spitting up babies can be messy and babies like mine with acid reflux spit up a lot. I can not go anywhere without several burp cloths and so why not at least be stylish when I am burping. The Baby’s Bundle makes adorable burp cloths that seem too cute to cover in baby spit up. They generously sent me a set of stylish burp cloths and I really love them. They are made of nice thick absorbent material and look so cute. The Baby’s Bundle has all kinds of great prints to choose from and the have several material choices as well including minky, cotton, flannel and brocade/satin. They also sent me the softest little snuggle blanket for my daughter to cuddle with. She loves running her fingers over it and since it is the perfect size for a baby I always have it tucked on her lap for her to enjoy. Great news I have an exclusive coupon code for 20% off your order at The Baby’s Bundle, simply enter code thriftymama at checkout.

O Yikes For Men (giveaway)
October 15, 2009 by Ellen
Filed under Best Baby Gear, Giveaway
You might remember the fabulous slingback diaper bag from O Yikes that I reviewed a while back. I still use it and LOVE it, my husband even prefers to carry it when he takes the girls out even though it is pink and orange. When I did my review I mentioned that I wish it came in a more masculine version and that it could be worn multiple ways so when I was wearing my baby I would still use it. I am excited to announce O Yikes listened and did a fabulous job designing their new 247 messenger x. This bag is huge and holds a ton on stuff. It not only comes with all the fabulous O Yikes accessories like the bottle holder, wipes case, changing pad and accessory case it also has a hidden extra 2 inches of space when you unzip the expandable section.
O Yikes definitely met all of dad’s needs by providing a padded laptop section as well as an electronics area that makes them easy to find. This bag easily goes from day to night without looking like a diaper bag, in fact my husband carries his to work everyday and no one would guess that is doubles as a diaper bag. Right now O Yikes is holding a contest to name the new color because black/black is too boring, enter your name suggestion HERE and you could win a FREE bag of your choice.
For one lucky Thrifty & Chic Mom reader I have an O Yikes onesie and accessory item ( your choice) to giveaway. And of course I have a discount code for 10% off your entire purchase enter promo code blog10 at checkout. To enter visit O Yikes and tell me which product is your favorite.For extra entries do any or all of the following leaving a separate comment for each entry.

Sids Awareness Month (giveaway)
Sids is a parents worst nightmare and claims too many babies but fortunately their are things you can do to prevent this tragedy. Always put your baby on their back to sleep and keep the crib free of plush items including stuffed animals and blankets. So if you can’t use blankets how do you keep your baby warm? Sleep sacks! I have always been a fan of swaddlers and sleep sacks, my babies live in them during the cold months. Halo has a fantastic SleepSack Swaddle that is both a wearable blanket and a swaddler. This innovative product is actually both. It is a wearable blanket that has an attachable piece to use as a swaddler. I got one to try with my new baby girl and I really love it, the fact that it can function in 2 ways makes it extra great in my eyes. Plus it is made of plush dots velboa with satin trim, it is very soft and luxurious making my baby extr
a soft and cuddly when she is wearing it. I have always been a fan of HALO SleepSacks but this new combo swaddler SleepSack is the best wearable blanket in my eyes because it can do both, now I don’t have to switch from sack to swaddler when I put my baby to sleep!
Great news I have a Halo SleepSack swaddler in size newborn in the blue plush dots velboa color. Want this for yourself? Visit HALO and read the tips of safe sleep, come back here and tell me something you learned. For extra entries do any or all of the following leaving a separate comment for each entry.

Nursing Momma Chic (giveaway)- CLOSED
October 10, 2009 by Ellen
Filed under Best Baby Gear, Giveaway
I am a nursing mom and I love fashion and sometimes it is hard for those two to go together. I find myself buying clothing that is easy to nurse in and if it is too difficult I won’t wear it which often eliminates some great tops. I know many companies make nursing clothing but I have found so much of it to be unflattering and not fashionable. I have to say though I was recently corrected on this point when I found A Mother’s Boutique, this store is full of very fashionable nursing clothing that doesn’t look like nursing clothing. Some of these tops are just fantastic like this Raglan Turtleneck. I was lucky enough to receive this top from A Mother’s Boutique and it is fabulous even my mom said “how is that a nursing top?” You can’t tell, nos shelf across the middle, is it double layered so the nursing aspect is very discreet. I am truely in love with this top my only criticism is that the material is clingy so be sure and order up a size especially if you are still trying to get baby weight off your middle. I am working on losing my baby weight and looking good in this top is my goal. I know it may seem a bit pricey for some of you but don’t let that turn you off it is worth it. This quality piece will last you a long time and goes from casual to dressy so it is worth it.

The Best Diaper Pail Ever! (giveaway)
September 24, 2009 by Ellen
Filed under Best Baby Gear, Giveaway
I have tried practically every diaper pail on the market and they have all failed to live up to my expectations. The Diaper Genie made me crazy with it’s complicated bagging system and the bags were so expensive. The Diaper Chammp was better on the wallet bag wise but did not hold the smell in and then I tried the First Years Clean Odor Free diaper pail and the fan just stopped working after 3 months. So as you can see I have extensive experience with diaper pails. I am not looking for a miracle I know diapers smell I just want a pail that works and I found it in the Diaper Dekor Plus. It is easy to use, no crazy system just step on the pedal the top pops open, push the door and drop in. The door has a lock to keep kids from playing with it which I have already come to appreciate greatly. The bag system is beyond simple and removing the bags is so easy! And the best part IT DOESN”T SMELL!!!!!! Now when you open the door to put diapers in you do get a whiff but you can’t expect the smell to completely disappear. When the door and lid shut the smell is gone and that makes me a very happy mom.
I have great news I have a Diaper Dekor Plus to giveaway to one lucky Thrifty & Chic Mom reader. To enter visit Diaper Dekor come back here and tell me your favorite feature of the Diaper Dekor Plus. For extra entries do any or all of the following leaving a separate comment for each entry.

Happy Baby Food (Giveaway)
September 24, 2009 by Ellen
Filed under Best Baby Gear, Giveaway
Making your own baby food is the best way to go in my opinion. It is cost friendly and you know exactly what ingredients your baby is getting, but it is not always practical. The same really can be applied to all food, making from scratch is ideal but not always feasible. Sometimes you need convenience and you want to make sure you baby is still getting healthy food. I was recently introduce to Happy Baby Food. Happy Baby Food makes organic 100% natural food for babies and toddlers. They make these great fresh frozen organic baby meals that are frozen in little cubes so you don’t have waste. My girls tried the HappyBites organic chicken with whole grain brown rice, potato, and natural seasonings. It was quite good and I was impressed with the quality of the food. My girls really enjoyed the meal and ate it all. As a mom I felt good serving this food to my kids and the fact that my kids actually ate it makes it even better. You can find Happy Baby Food at great stores like Whole Foods, Target, Babies R Us and Meijer.
Would you like to try a HappyBites healthy Kids Meal? I have a coupon for a FREE meal for one lucky Thrifty & Chic Mom reader. To enter visit HappyBaby and tell me what product appeals to you.

Rockin Baby Sling Giveaway
September 22, 2009 by Ellen
Filed under Best Baby Gear, Giveaway
In celebration of International Babywearing Week I have a fabulous sling from Rockin Baby to giveaway. I have a Rockin Baby sling that I used with my second daughter and I can’t wait to use it with my new baby girl. Not only is it stylish and reversible but it is a fabulous way to wear your baby. The sling is very versatile and can be worn many ways. I also love the fact that is can easily fit in my diaper bag so I always have it with me. My favorite way to use a sling is on the hip when my kids are a little older but not quite walking. The sling adds a little extra support when I am carrying my daughter around so my arms don’t get so tired and encourages snuggling by holding her close to me. I have the “Be Good” sling to giveaway check out the photo to see this fabulous sling. To enter visit Rockin Baby and tell me which sling pattern you like.
