Take The CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE! You will be glad you did! And A Lilly Pulizer Give Away!

I post about this every year because the business of Christmas can really drag you down. There's a lot to do. Mom's especially can barely get a break during the chaos and I want to make it easier!

Here's how it works: (I got this idea from The Art Of Doing Stuff a few years ago)

 

Do the "Business" of Christmas during November so you can enjoy your holiday! I did this last year and it really worked! Who's ready to take the Christmas Challenge? You can see it starts TODAY! Let's do it together!

Here's what happens if you don't take the challenge according to The Art Of Doing Stuff:

And since we're talking Christmas I have a little give away for you.

Ipad Mini Give Away And Bedtime With Sarah Sullivan Bedtime Challenge!

We have been reading the cutest new book before bed. Bedtime for Sarah Sullivan. 

"Wearing a sparkly "S" crown, she is Super! Silly! and Sweet! Bedtime for Sarah Sullivan is about the magical hour that happens every night at bedtime, when kids "try" to go to sleep. Readers are invited to travel with Sarah through the wonders of her imagination as she learns what it is like to create her own dreams. Ultimately landing on the moon, Sarah learns that anything is possible, as long as you believe."

The Bedtime for Sarah Sullivan App is now available in the Amazon App Store for Kindle. I love the way it looks on this device! Get it HERE.

I don't know about you but bedtime at my house is sometimes chaotic. That's the truth. And sometimes nightmares or other drama gets the best of the kids. After reading "Bedtime For Sarah Sullivan" and talking to the author Kelly Paniagua,  we came up with a brilliant idea:

THE BEDTIME CHALLENGE!

For the next two weeks take 10 minutes (30 minutes would be even better!) to read the book, use the app (on kindle or ipad) and set a positive intention before the kids go to bed.

"Travel with Sarah through the wonders of her imagination as she learns what it’s like to create her own dreams. Ultimately landing on the moon, Sarah learns that anything is possible, as long as you believe. Through the app, children get to immerse themselves fully in the adventure through voiceover, narration and object/character animation."

Take this and be creative! Let your kids create their dreams:) Mom's feel free to take the challenge too. Instead of worrying before bed try creating a positive dream! What a concept!

To FURTHER INSPIRE YOU... WE ARE GIVING AWAY AN IPAD MINI! That way you can use your new Bedtime for Sarah Silverman APP! See below to enter. Lots of ways to up your chances by following a few steps!

Extra entries for Tweeting or FB posts and sharing the give away. Use HASHTAGS: #BedtimeChallenge and #BedtimeWithSarahSullivan  and #SuperSarahKids


Good luck and let me know how the challenge goes!

But take heart friends, another give away!


In honor of my friend Keri's Baby Shower, which is fast approaching, I am giving away a copy of:
Eat Sleep Poop!

This is written by MY pediatrician!! LOVE HIM!!

"Written during award-winning pediatrician Dr. Scott W. Cohen’s first year as a father, this book is the only one to combine two invaluable “on the job” perspectives—the doctor’s and the new parent’s.The result is a refreshingly engaging and informative guide that includes all you need to know at each age and stage of your child’s first year. Drawing on the latest medical recommendations and his experiences at home and in the office, Dr. Cohen covers everything from preparing for your baby’s arrival to introducing her to a new sibling, to those three basic functions that will come to dominate a new parent’s life. Eat, Sleep, Poop addresses questions, strategies, myths, and all aspects of your child’s development. In each instance, Dr. Cohen provides a thorough overview and a simple answer or explanation: a “common sense bottom line,” yet he doesn’t dictate. The emphasis is on doing what is medically sound and what works best for you and your baby. He also includes fact sheets, easy-to-follow diagnosis and treatment guides, and humorous daddy vs. doctor sidebars that reveal the learning curve during his fi rst year as a dad.Lively, practical, and reassuring, Eat, Sleep, Poop provides the knowledge you need to parent with confidence, to relax and enjoy baby’s fi rst year, and to raise your child with the best tool a parent can have: informed common sense."

Friday Give Away! Early Lingo!

Is it ever too soon to introduce kids to other languages? No! We are big fans of the Early Lingo series in this house and now you can be too! Caryn Antonini, the owner and creator is giving 2 DVD's away! You get to choose! Spanish, French or English!


A little about Early Lingo:

• Early Lingo is a playful approach to learning.
• The interactive program allows young children to become familiar with a foreign language through immersive and repetitive learning techniques.
• The use of playful animation and live-action video create a stimulating visual context.
• The Early Lingo Series is the first of its kind, offering a solid foundation in learning foreign languages. With frequent exposure any child will be able to speak with no accent and familiarity.
• Early Lingo uses the Total Immersion Method, a method that immerses the child immediately into the target language with no use of translation.
• Early Lingo uses native speakers who articulate, speak slowly and use comprehensible words and phrases that are easy for the child to understand.
• Children can learn a foreign language in their own home at any given time, an easy and convenient learning experience for all.

LEARNING FACTS

Learning a foreign language will not confuse your child. Quite the opposite – studies show bilingual and multilingual children score higher on SATs.
“Learning a foreign language allows the brain the flexibility to express ideas in different ways – it opens the mind to think outside the box.”
- Prof. Alissa M. Webel, Georgetown University
There is no limit to the number of languages a child can learn. The brain separates neural pathways for each language. Young children’s brains are capable of imitating any sound and can therefore learn additional languages without an accent.

Are you ready to win your TWO Early Lingo DVD's?


For one entry tell us what languages you want!
For two entries Fan Early Lingo on Facebook!
For three entries Follow Early Lingo on Twitter!

Winner announced next Thursday! Good luck!

Give Away Friday! Hillary Thomas Designs Bedding!!!

I am starting a new column for Fridays! Give away Friday!!!


My first give away is with the fabulous Hillary Thomas of Hillary Thomas Designs!!!

Hillary believes that good design is not something off-the-shelf or necessarily one particular style. Rather, it’s an eclectic mix of the high and the low where inexpensive flea market finds and fine antiques can coexist effortlessly. 

Hillary Thomas Designs was launched when Hillary collaborated with architect Mark Appleton to redesign and decorate a Spanish-style cottage in Santa Monica. Through that experience, a lifelong passion for design, decorating and color was realized. Since then, Hillary has been helping clients identify their true aesthetic and mixing it with her own great style to make something that is unique and all together different than the status quo.

Hillary has several exciting home lines that reflect her East Coast background and love of different cultures. And now something from her bedding line can be yours!!!! From her Liberty Gardens Cosmo Collection, soft white textures pique cotton, brown and white gingham, with a Liberty of London floral print as an accent!


Hillary is giving away:

The duvet, in twin or full/queen sizing, reverses from white piqué to brown and white gingham. Both sides have center seams trimmed in Liberty floral fabric. Coordinating brown 4-hole buttons close the duvet up in style.

A boudoir and euro sham featuring white piqué with a Liberty floral band and brown and white gingham bows and trim at the side, while the standard sham is brown and white gingham with a flat-flange style and Liberty floral trim.

AND: pieces for the crib: a bumper made from brown and white gingham with Liberty floral piping and bows and a white piqué crib skirt with Liberty floral trim.

1 Crib Bumper
1 Crib Bed Skirt
