another giveaway!

Name something that we use more than once every day (at least I hope so). It's something that is important to our hygiene and to our health.... it's toothpaste!

The very nice folks at GlaxoSmithKline have provided us with 4 free giveaways for their new product called iso-active Foaming Gel. It's available in both Aquafresh and Sensodyne.

This new iso-active system is suppose to quickly dispense active ingredients that get to all those hard-to-reach areas in your mouth. From what I understand the toothpaste starts as a gel and then turns to a foam, and because of the way it does this, you get twice as much ingredients as regular toothpaste, which in turn kills more bacteria.

I haven't tried it yet, but I am requesting my sample now!!!

This may not be a flashy giveaway, but it's something that we all need. After all, we are just regular moms.

Enter by Wednesday, October 21st and I will announce the winners on Thursday the 22nd.

Good luck!

so pretty...

I just had my Creative Nest Designs blog redesigned and I love the look of it. I still have some work on my end to get all the pages working properly, but I thought they did a great job!

If you want to pay to get your blog professionally done, especially if you are going to use it for business you should use Designer Blogs! I've decided to move away from my previous website and use the blog exclusively.

I can't wait to use them to redesign this blog in the near future!

alright!

I think people have been trying to tell me this for a few weeks now, but they sell my FAV swaddling wraps at Target now!! The Aden & Anais wraps. Pack of 4 for $29.99. I use to pay $45 for 2. Not sure yet if they are the same, but I can't wait to find out. They are the best!

just purchased

We just purchased the Alseda Stool from Ikea. We don't use a coffee table in our living room for head bumping reasons. I'm sure someday when we have non-toddlers in the house we will again. So this little stool sits on the floor and it's great to put a snack for the kids on or they can sit on it. I don't know what it is about it, but I love it!

hardware

I love buying hardware for plain furniture pieces. We have all this white furniture, some new and some old and I love that I can transfer it from kid to kid by changing hardware, or can just update something plain. Of course I love Anthropologie's hardware, but they usually run $6-$8 per piece, which is fine if you need just a few. I on the other hand needed 9 total, so I went to their hardware sale bin and found everything I needed and for $2.95 each. Wowzer! It was a good day. I highly suggest adding a little flair to your boring stuff. I've seen cute hardware sold in bags at Home Goods too.

finally finished

We finally finished making Piper's toddler bed. I posted about it a few weeks back based on this one Design Mom did. Now I just need to decorate the rest of the room!

still love it

This pram from Pottery Barn Kids is one of my favorite gifts Piper has received. She played with it when she started walking and I know she will keep playing with it for years to come. It's not cheap at $79, but I think over the years we will get our money's worth. Plus it's so cute, it still looks great hanging out in my living room. I keep this stroller inside so as to keep it clean as long as I can, we have this stroller for outside fun.

i'm back & some cupcakes

Glad to be back online, had some stuff to take care of! Below is a picture of some amazing cupcakes from a party I just went to. The party was a carnival themed 1st birthday and I was so impressed by how cute these are. The cupcakes are fashioned to be popcorn and she used marshmallows to help create the effect. I've never used this baker before but I'm she seems great and she is located in Orange County.

Taking a few days off.....check back early next week for new posts.

Have a fantastic weekend!
