Sold-out!
I took my son for a check up, he got to remembering when they pricked his finger. When the nurse calls him in he says, your not going to poke my finger. She begins to assure him he doesn't need his finger stuck again.
He looks at her and tell her you not going to poke my finger and puts his hands in his pocket. So, few minutes later he tells her again, but with a twist.
"Your not going to poke my finger, but you can poke bubba's finger"..........Poor little bubba got sold-out!

Dali Decals Review & Giveaway
I had decided on a floral design a Dali Decals when I caught a glimpse of the cutest thing. I was looking under the animal and insects wall decals when I saw the Kitty Cat & cute little birds. I thought of a playful scene to decor the head of my bed.
When the wall decals arrived they were in a well protect heavy cardboard tube. I placed them on the table an then began to cut out the figures. I wiped the wall with a dry cloth to prep the area. You simply peel off the hard paper and you have the decal and transfer paper, press to the wall and use the squeegee to brush out air and bubbles.
The process was so easy, I let my 3 yr son apply the birds. Talking about a quick fun improvement to a blank space. My boys think it is perrrr-fect and love it. My 1 yr old says bird and kisses the cat, sooo sweet. The cat measures 14 x 15" and bird wall stickers measure between 4 and 5" wide.
Dali Decals have a wide selection of wall decals including holiday, wedding, shapes, and quotes. Thanks to Dali Decals for being a part of Life Is A SandCastle 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. Dali Decals will give one of my readers a wall decal plus shipping up to $25. International winners will be responsible for any import charges if they occur. Please note: all readers and/or contest entries are only eligible to win once per 12 months.

The Clean Bedroom Store Review & Giveaway
The Naturally Organic Wool Pillow is made from 100% wool & 100% Heavy duty organic cotton cover. It is hyperallergenic, antibacterial and dust resistant. This particular pillow provides medium firm support for head and neck. Yes, it does sleep like a dream and I feel more rested. My son loves to snuggle up on it and usually winds up sleeping on it. Seems I'm not the only one who loves it. I think wool pillows are more environmental friendly than other pillows on the market and healthier alternative.
I learned this & the Article published on Organic.org February 2006
http://www.thecleanbedroom.com/A_healthy_pillow.htm
A Healthy Pillow
by Christine Chamberlin
Wool Pillows - Odd as it may sound to rest your head on wool, this material - as a pillow fill - actually aids in sleeping comfort. Wool has a natural moisture wicking ability so your head stays cool while you rest; you toss and turn less often staying in deep REM sleep longer.
This natural ability to reduce the moisture level in your pillow inhibits mold and mildew from forming. Best of all, dust mites cannot thrive in wool making it a great alternative for people with allergies. Wool pillows are light and puffy, making them a great alternative to down. You can choose either sheep's wool or alpaca wool, which is lighter and warmer.
Did you know The Clean Bedroom Store also sells HEPA air purifiers and furnace filters, bedroom furniture and Organic Mattresses that look dreamy. They not only have home products but, they sell personal organic bath & spa products and organic sleepwear.
Thanks to The Clean Bedroom Store for being a part of Life Is A SandCastle 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. The Clean Bedroom Store Will give one of my readers a Naturally Organic Wool Pillow.

Executive Gift Shoppe Review & Giveaway
I found an Victorinox Swiss Army Flashlight at Executive Gift Shoppe. How does the Victorinox Flashlight shine on it's reputation. It is LED for longer battery, shining up 275 foot, up to 2.5 mile signal visibility and shock proof & water resistant. I can account for 200 ft cause I shine it from the house to the road and great visibility. Did you know that LED's can last up to 100,000 hours 11 yrs compared to most flash light bulbs. It uses 2 C batteries and they come with the product.

Round Table Toys Review & Giveaway
My 1yr was asleep and had no idea brother was playing with a new toy but, as soon as he heard the noise, he was ready to play. They both played and big brother showed the little one how drive the truck through the farm. I liked how they learn the animals and sounds. It a great hands on education developmental toy. I like they they are problem solving following directions. The Play mat measures 27.5 x 36 (69.8cm x 91.4cm) and that is a good size for play with 2 boys. Talk on the Farm Toy Mat is for ages 12 months through 6 years old and it's an Alex toy.
Round Table Toys have alot of other toys and I could easily fill under my tree. I really like the Z-Curve Bow, I wanted to try it bad cause it looks like so much fun. My boys ain't quite the age for that one but, I was thinking it may be nice to get two. One for my husband and one for me to chase each other :)
