A few weeks ago I entered a contest on Sweet ‘n’ Sassy Girls: A Mom Blog to win a pair of kid’s shoes from Shoo Shoos and much to my delight I won!! We received the pair of shoes in the mail yesterday and I love them. They came in this really cute little bag that Sweet Pea already loves to carry around. I was also excited to find out about Shoo Shoos because they are a inexpensive way to put shoes on the feet of your baby or toddler. So head over to their site and check them out.
Congratulations to CanCan of Mom Most Traveled!!! She is the winner of my Twist Biodegradable Sponge Giveaway. So pop over to her blog and give her applause!
Last night we had a fabulous evening at the performance of Disney on Ice. A special thanks to 3Ps in a Pod for her giveaway and making it happen! Sweet Pea had such a great time. He was so enthralled with the characters he forgot to fidget for a full hour!
Here are some of the characters coming on stage:
Here is Sweet Pea pointing to the stage. He had such a great time and squeaked like a mouse the whole time!
The tickets we won were a family four pack and since kids under age two get in for free we were able to take some good friends with us! Watching the kids dance and clap together was such fun!
The only downside was that taking Sweet Pea to the show and keeping him up late made us remember why he goes to bed on time at night. The second we got home from the show he fell apart. He was so tired that he couldn’t think straight. He cried the whole time we tried to get pjs on and get him into bed. But the second he laid down he was out. His eyes were shut before we even left the room. On top of that he has been grumpy all day today. It takes us two days to recover from staying up late. Haha. But watching his face during the show made it totally worth it!!!
3 Pea’s In a Pod is hosting a fabulous giveaway to the Dallas show of Disney on Ice!! We are huge DIsney fans and my sons lovie is a small Mickey Mouse doll. So head on over to her website and enter the contest!! Hopefully we will see you at the show!
If you take a look around our house you may not be able to find any huge green changes we have made. Going green can sometimes be very expensive. So over here at our house we have started with some of the smaller, much cheaper items. Items that you may not even recognize as being green.
One thing that we all use in our houses are sponges. We use them to wash dishes, scrub counters, and much more. According to some of the articles I have read recently, sponges should be replaced to prevent the spread of germs as much as once a month (that’s right Papa, once a month)! Not only that, but you should have one sponge for every item you are going to clean. You heard right. One sponge for dishes, one for counters, one for tables, etc. And if you only have one for all those things you should throw it out every couple weeks. My, my that is a lot of garbage.
That is why I am happy to say I came across a company that makes biodegradable sponges. It is called Twist and the prices are very affordable. The one I have been using for the past month is called the Euro Sponge and I really like it. It works just as well as any other sponge I have used in the past. In fact, it is a lot softer and smoother so it slides better over counters and dishes. The time has come that I need to purchase a new one and I don’t feel bad at all about throwing it away because I know it is made from materials that are recycled and biodegradable.
So I am off to the store to get a new sponge for myself and two for one of you!! If you would like to win two Euro Sponges made by Twist:
