“My baby is teething.”

Say these words to anyone who has any experience with little ones and you are sure to hear words of sympathy.  Just about everyone knows that the teething stage is such a hard one for our babies.  It’s so difficult to see them suffer.  Both of our kiddos are normally very laid back and happy, but when those teeth are coming through, they turn into completely different children!  They will cry for no reason at all, are very clingy and need Mommy and Daddy to hold them constantly, wake up screaming at night, and can’t take their naps because their teeth are making them so uncomfortable!  It’s not a fun stage for anyone at our house when teeth are coming through.

Teething is something that can vary so much from child to child.  Some babies are born with teeth, some get them very early, most start getting them between 3 and 9 months, and some don’t get their teeth until later.  With our babies, the first teeth pop through at about 9 months and then we see nothing for about another 6 months.  Then it seems that ALL of their teeth start coming through at the same time to make up for lost time.

Needless to say, during those hard days, we love our Infant Tylenol, Infant Ibuprofen, and Orajel.  I don’t know how we would survive without them!  The small amount of relief they give is such a help!  That being said, I’m really loving that Orajel is offering a $1 off coupon on their products!

Free Aveeno Baby Gift Set!

After the birth of our first baby, one of my friends gave me a bottle of Aveeno Baby Lotion and we loved it!  Our babies have both been winter babies.  With the dryness of the colder air, I have noticed that their skin seems to dry out pretty quickly.   The Aveeno lotion worked really well for smoothly and moisturizing their little arms and legs.  It also seemed to protect their skin from drying out quite as quickly.  I used it after their baths – they smelled so fresh and clean and baby sweet!

Aveeno is offering a Free Baby Soothing Relief Gift Set.  The set includes:

- A bottle of Moisture Cream to relieve dry skin

- A box of  Bath Treatment for soothing your little one’s skin

- A bottle of  Creamy Wash to clean your baby with

- And a tube of Aveeno Diaper Rash cream to help reduce and relieve rashes!

You’ll get to try out all of these great Aveeno products so you can see how well they will work for your baby! 

Just a side note, the Aveeno products for mom are great, as well!  Taking care of you is important, too!  Help yourself feel refreshed and rejuvenated by taking care of yourself with some great body washes and lotions.

Free Calendar from Hyland's

Hyland’s offers a line of products that are safe, natural, and homeopathic.  They have something for everyone in the family but I have particularly heard rave reviews about their products for babies.  Some of the remedies they offer for your little one are:

- Colic Tablets: If your little one is particularly fussy and seems uncomfortable due to mild indigestion troubles, Hyland’s offers these Colic tablets to try.  They are tiny tablets that dissolve in your babies mouth.

- Teething Tablets and Gel: If you’re like me and don’t really like the idea of constantly giving your baby pain medications, these two products are a great thing to try instead.  The gel is topical and can be applied to your baby’s hurting gums.  The tablets, like the Colic tablets above, dissolve in your baby’s mouth

- Earache Tablets and Drops: Thankfully, neither of my babies has had troubles with their ears.  I have talked to moms, though, who describe how difficult it is to see their baby is so much pain!  Hyland’s Earache products might be something to try if your baby struggles with ear problems.

*Please consult your doctor prior to using any of these products to make sure they would be right for your baby.

Free Birth Announcement Sample

If you’re anything like me, you have to actually see something to really visualize it.  I just don’t have the creative brain power to be able to know how something will look until I’m really looking at it!  This applies to buying clothes, rearranging furniture, interior decorating… you name it!  I wish I had known about this offer for a free birth announcement sample when I was ordering them for our two little ones.  Hopefully, you’ll find this offer as helpful as I would have!

CelebrationCottage.com will let you completely design your baby’s birth announcement and then request a sample copy be sent to you!  You’ll be able to make sure the colors you chose work well, the photo layout is okay, what the quality of the paper is – all before you place your big order!  This takes so much of the pressure out of ordering.  With most companies, you place your final order and then that’s what it is – final.  CelebrationCottage.com is taking that stress away by giving these free samples.

Free 8 x 10 Photo Canvas

Just in time for the holidays, the Canvas People are offering a great deal - you can get your own personalized photo canvas for free (shipping costs not included)! 

The process is simple – you upload a favorite photo to their site, select the options you would like to have in your photo canvas, and submit the order!  The only thing you will have to pay for is shipping, which is about $15.  These photo canvases are normally $55 each plus shipping so this is great deal!

I ordered two of these canvases, one with a photo of each of our kids, and they are beautiful!  They really stand out and serve as great conversation pieces when we have guests over to visit.

Here’s another great thing about this deal – if you would rather have a larger size than the free 8 x 10 being offered, the Canvas People will put the $55 toward a larger size.  You will only have to pay the difference!  What a great way to save money creating a priceless keepsake you can enjoy for years to come.  This would also make a great gift this holiday season!

Free Music Downloads for Kids

My babies love music.  My 22 month old loves to dance to the tunes that he hears – even my 9 month old gets wiggly when she hears a good song!  I’ve checking out different kids music CDs from the library but was excited to find a site online that offers free music downloads for children.  Our kids find their favorite songs on the library CDs but then we have to return them – by downloading the music for ourselves, we can keep their favorite tunes handy all the time!

When choosing songs for our little ones, I try to find ones that are teaching songs – like the ABC song or counting songs or even days of the week songs.  Right now, our oldest son’s favorite song is about the “choot choot” train.  He really gets into singing along to the parts he can say and requests the song whenever get into the car.

I have found that, even just having some sort of music playing while we’re at home doing the normal daily routine, seems to help keep kiddos in a good mood.  It even seems to help them keep themselves busier and more content, just having those tunes playing!  Happier little ones makes for a happier mommy!
