Do we really want to fill them up on jelly beans so mommy can have 5 more minutes to browse? Or buy yet another dinky car to keep the peace as you line up to pay? Well, The Family Book has discovered another great online store that will solve your shopping dilemma! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.raspberrykids.com/">Raspberry Kids</a> tagline is “fresh, healthy & fun” and the resulting line of baby & children’s products they have created fits it to a “T”. You are going to find a beautiful and whimsical selection of high quality, interesting & unique items, many made of wood, organic materials, and safe and/or recycled plastics. Better still, they are a Canadian company, located in Vancouver, BC, which makes ordering in Canada quick, easy and “duty free”! <br /><br />I received a bath toy by boon called Splat, just a day or two after ordering. They make great “safe” (BPA free, Phthalate free and PVC free ~ hooray!) toys for the bath, including a great water faucet cover (called “Flo”) which makes a cool waterfall and protects small heads from unpleasant faucet-bumps (also available at raspberry kids!). This particular toy is from boon’s new line of bath toys. Splat is a floating ring toss game that is perfect for bathtub or water table fun! Like all boon products, the colours and design are bright, fun and visually interesting. Three colourful, easy to grip rings can be tossed onto the blue holder, which looks like a huge raindrop splat, hence the name I’m sure! It is for children 9+months, but my 5 year old is having lots of fun with it and I’m sure Splat will be making its way out to the swimming pool this summer! <br /> <br />Be sure to take advantage of the Wish List feature they offer. What a great way to help out all those adoring grandparents, aunties, uncles and friends in their quest for the perfect gift! <br />And for those of you with a wish list, you may be interested in hosting an E-party. Raspberry Kids is now offering a virtual shopping party opportunity for you and at least 15 friends or family. You can select discounts of 15% or 20% for all of your guests, as well as hostess benefits, gifts and more! <br /><br />Visit raspberry kids at their website <a href="http://www.raspberrykids.com/">www.rasberrykids.com</a> and be sure to use your coupon from The Family Book (coupon #183 15% off any regular priced purchase).<br /><br />Go to <a href="http://www.raspberrykids.com/">www.raspberrykids.com</a> and sign up for The Raspberry Patch Newsletter for a chance to win great prizes!The Family Book *previously Tiny Tots Coupon Book)http://www.blogger.com/profile/13999067420023029485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7166668329663977506.post-10139959046948086512009-02-18T15:23:00.000-08:002009-02-18T15:31:21.943-08:00Po Po's Ponchos<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg6-u2kMFVO6Y5n3k7XEkCLq-GUN87QQBakADK2ahukJYAOQz7eW_iEDHmA2ngIMAG-1e6mvAOLh_fQHGQPowl29qY4l4ngi3miz92XebevAjCgoShmBEg1Ub8zV5WNAnJXDRA986haco/s1600-h/reversable+inside+sm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 162px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg6-u2kMFVO6Y5n3k7XEkCLq-GUN87QQBakADK2ahukJYAOQz7eW_iEDHmA2ngIMAG-1e6mvAOLh_fQHGQPowl29qY4l4ngi3miz92XebevAjCgoShmBEg1Ub8zV5WNAnJXDRA986haco/s200/reversable+inside+sm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304284029623117634" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.poposponchos.com">Po-Po's Ponchos</a><br /><br />Necessity is the mother of invention they say. And this month <a href="http://www.thefamilybook.ca">The Family Book</a> would like to highlight another great example of how a Mom looking after her little one came up with a great design idea to help solve those Mommy challenges that we all face every day!<br /><br />In the case of <a href="http://www.poposponchos.com">Po Po's Ponchos</a>, we are talking about the daily challenge of getting your darling little one dressed for outside. We can all relate to the struggle to get little arms into jackets, especially when they don't want to cooperate! Then you have to face the struggle to securely do up the car seat or stroller with that impossibly puffy jacket! These darling little ponchos turn this struggle into a non-issue - with a simple slip over the head and the doing up of three small snaps (one under each arm and one at the neck) your little one is ready to go without all the fuss some mornings can bring! <br /><br />These stylish ponchos are created out of an amazingly soft micro fleece (think your softest, cuddliest, warmest hoodie ~ now think softer, cuddlier and warmer!). The non-pilling fleece is matched with delightful 100% cotton fabric trim designs that lines the hood, pocket, edging. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.poposponchos.com">Po Po's Ponchos</a> is an all Canadian company; located, designed and produced in Vancouver, BC. Their product line continues to expand, introducing wonderful new colour combinations and a new, fully reversible version that is sure to be doubly delightful!<br /><br />Available in three sizes, fitting children 0 - 6 years old ~ if you have a fashionable little girl in your life check out all the fabulous colour combinations at Po Po's Ponchos website www.poposponchos.com and don't forget to use your Family Book coupon (coupon # 181, $10 off online purchase)!<br /><br />Go to <a href="http://www.poposponchos.com">www.poposponchos.com</a> and fill out their 2 min. survey for a chance to win a poncho of your choice!<br /><br />* Written and reviewed by loving Mommy, Michelle RotheryThe Family Book *previously Tiny Tots Coupon Book)http://www.blogger.com/profile/13999067420023029485noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7166668329663977506.post-85258747104712987222009-01-28T20:44:00.000-08:002009-01-31T22:19:11.322-08:00Organically Hatched Valentine's Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAELAVXQd922f4GIgQSSPR_BS1ffUfsaTAaL-urGEpi6tQ1fw_QsK0ihLOZnN1ResKuJYc8H7CcGX-8QcTIrWDg9E9M3WcXbQbvMN3JwAjpnZxjzY94gN3v_CIRfMNRZ625nb7biD9_nc/s1600-h/organically+hatched.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 141px; height: 141px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAELAVXQd922f4GIgQSSPR_BS1ffUfsaTAaL-urGEpi6tQ1fw_QsK0ihLOZnN1ResKuJYc8H7CcGX-8QcTIrWDg9E9M3WcXbQbvMN3JwAjpnZxjzY94gN3v_CIRfMNRZ625nb7biD9_nc/s200/organically+hatched.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296575827485234290" /></a><br /><br />The requests on the lips of moms this Valentines has changed from previous years of hinting for perfume, chocolates, lotions, and scented candles. What a drastic change a year brings as parents have learned to safe guard their children and family by reading ingredient labels and staying away from traditional products containing chemicals. We now ask questions about personal care products and food/drink utensils to find out if they’re BPA-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and fragrance-free. We are seeking a more organic existence with buying non-toxic, safe, natural, products we can trust. <a href="http://www.organicallyhatched.com/">Organically Hatched</a> is speaking the words for parents as their store is brimming with amazing organic and-natural product lines, allowing parents easy access to a new way of gift giving this Valentines Day.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.organicallyhatched.com/">Organically Hatched</a> is making things easy with their <a href="http://www.organicallyhatched.com/Valentine_s_Day_Gift_Box_p/gbv.htm">Valentine’s Day Gift Box</a> that can be selected with items you purchase online. Your gifts will be packaged in this box before mailing, complete with a personalized card and love. With moms replacing traditional personal care and household products with all-natural based products, there is no better way to show your family you care than selecting a few special items to present to your family this Valentines Day. There is something for mom, dad, and the kids, and the <a href="http://www.organicallyhatched.com/valentine_s_day_gifts_for_entire_family_s/198.htm">Organically Hatched Valentines category</a> is easy to navigate and explore through the store’s selections. I’ve been able to sample a few products and think they would be very special items for the entire family this Valentine’s Day.<br /><br />Mom and Dad – check out the locally based product line from All Things Jill. I love being able to support this Alberta based company and their amazing products. Their <a href="http://www.organicallyhatched.com/All_Natural_lip_balm_p/alltjlss.htm">lip smackin chap sticks</a> come in wonderful flavors and are a must have, great price-point ($4.49 each), and even safe to dap on your child’s lips. Organically Hatched carries many items from All Things Jill and they are sure to please any mom with their lineup of all natural foot butter, body butter, hand salve, and massage oil because nobody said ‘all natural’ couldn’t be romantic! And for dad, we’ve tried <a href="http://www.organicallyhatched.com/All_Natural_After_Shave_Spritz_p/alltjjja.htm">all natural aftershave spritz</a> from All Things Jill and my very non-organic hubby has been enjoying this product. We’ve replaced our hand soap with their lovely grapefruit and ginger hand & body wash, and are fans of these other practical items for dad: body wash, all natural aching body muscle rub, and shaving cream! <br /><br />Now to the really fun stuff – a sustainable goodie or gift for that special little girl or boy to include in your gift box: Egyptian cotton<a href="http://www.organicallyhatched.com/Organic_cotton_fruit_toys_by_Under_the_Nile_p/undernft.htm"> fruit toy</a> for baby, a Green Toys <a href="http://www.organicallyhatched.com/Green_toys_tea_set_p/greentts.htm">tea set </a>– nothing like make-believe tea parties in the tub without worrying about phthalates, or small <a href="http://www.organicallyhatched.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=woody">woody click toys</a> to encourage imagination and building. Or stick with the personal care products and purchase practical items like lip balms and natural shampoo to make your little boy or girl feel just like mom and dad!<br /><br />So why not try a more natural, organic, and sustainable approach to gift giving this Valentines. Your family will appreciate the thought behind your all natural selections and <a href="http://www.organicallyhatched.com/">Organically Hatched</a> is making it easy – one little peep at a time! <br /><br /><blockquote>Reviewed & written by Suzanne Bertani.
