Aquaphor Giveaway

This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Aquaphor

When Harper was suffering with eczema – so many of you recommended I try aquaphor. To be honest – I had never even heard of the product. But since then – aquaphor and I have become dear friends. I have bought many bottles and jars because it works so well on Harper's skin and really helped clear up her rough patches. I have used it everywhere from her little face to her feet. I tried everything out there and this really helped more than anything.

Avent Bottles

This is a compensated post from BlogHer and Avent

Calling all MOMS:

What kind of bottles do you use?

I came home from the NICU with these little bottles they provided while I was pumping all the time and that is what I have used ever since (only I rarely pump because I rarely leave Harper) so we just don't use bottles.
But the time is coming soon when I may want to use bottles and I want a good kind because Harper does not like bottles and I want her to begin to like it.

I recently got an 11 oz Avent PES bottle and I really like it. I like the size, shape and the fact that it helps reduce colic and goes well with breast feeding. My friends who use Avent highly recommend it and I'm thinking we will be trying these bottles very soon as we transition into solids and adding formula. It also helps that it is BPA free.

What do you look for in a bottle and which kind do you like best? Have you tried Avent and what did you think?

You should also check out the BlogHer review page and check out other reviews AND A chance to win a $500 Visa Gift Card (who couldn't use that????)

Ya'll know how much I love monogrammed stuff?

Well - isn't this a cute shirt??? And one lucky reader will win one - just leave me a comment telling me who you would get it for and on Friday I'll pick one winner (using a random number picker).

If you don't win - you can always go HERE and get one anyway!!!

The End

I'm not at the end of my trying to drink more water journey (more like at the beginning of it) but I'm at the end of writing about it.

I think it went pretty well and I still have to work on it. I would be lying if I said I didn't crave coke daily - so I do have at least one a day. But that's a big step from where I was.

Let's hear some final thoughts from you - will you keep it up? Will you drink more water this summer (if you live in the south - or I guess anywhere - and are having 100 degree days like I am - you probably REALLY will!)

Good luck and thanks for coming along with me!!!!
