I have a 4 year old girl who has a weakness for cute hair accessories and since I am online so often, it only makes sense to shop for her from sites that carry these items. One such site which I had stumbled on is MarieLynn Boutique - an online store founded by Cales Cantrall, a stay at home mom, in September 2007.

Here’s what Cales had to say when I interviewed her:

I am a 23 year old stay at home mom and wife, my family and I are stationed in Germany. My daughter, Ki’Nani is 10 months old. I started making hair bows when I was pregnant with my daughter, after receiving compliments on my products, I decided to try to make a business out of it. It started out as just a Boutique that sold hair bows and has grown from there. MarieLynn Boutique has definetly drawn out my inner child. I enjoy my crafts and meeting new people. My customers have definetly become a second family to me. MarieLynn Boutique has enabled me to be a stay at home mom and spend quality time with my daughter. My ultimate goal is the open up a brick and mortar Boutique, where my customers can come and view my handmade creations in person.

From cute clippies to funky bows and lovely headbands, I find myself spoilt for choices with the variety of hair accessories available on MarieLynn Boutique. Best of all, the prices are just so affordable that you will no longer need an excuse to shop here. I believe the quality of the products are also excellent as Cales claims that none of her customers have ever returned any of her items! Now, tell me how many boutique can boast of that track record.

Apart from hair accessories, MarieLynn Boutique also carries lovely tutus, wipes case & totes, blankets, nap time mats and more. If that’s not enough, you can even choose to have the items personalized. All you need to do is just drop Cales a line or two but do be prepared to wait as she is currently swamped with orders.

Hate the idea of rushing around and fighting the crowd like other parents, trying to get the best deals on back to school supplies? Don’t worry, you’re not alone and the best part is there is a hassle free solution. Visit EZ School Supplies, a Denver based business with 5 years of track record supplying school stationeries.

About EZ School Supplies

Our Mission is to make a positive difference worldwide in the lives of students by providing them with the tools and instruments required for developing their personal knowledge, skills and competence to meet tomorrow’s challenges.
 

EZ School Supplies (EZSS) carries quality brand name products or high quality private labels only with competitive pricing. Though some items may be slightly higher than Wal-Mart or Walmart, I personally feel that the time saved and the convenience of hassle free online shopping makes up for the slight difference.  EZSS further backs up their products with a 100% guarantee where refunds or replacement are given if customers are not satisfied with their purchases.

EZSS also has a program where schools can enroll themselves and the teachers can create their school supply list using EZSS’ interactive system. This list will make it easy for parents and students to order the supplies according to what is required by the Teachers. Thus, ensuring that the students are well prepared when they attend school. Another plus point is that every school which enrolls in the program will receive 10% donation of the total net sales. What a great idea of giving back! So, why not visit www.ezschoolsupplies.com, get a quote to compare and then decide! Don’t forget to use Promo Code “EZMB003” to get your 10% discount.

Meantime, let’s hear what our Parent Reviewers have to say about EZ School Supplies:

Sewing Mom - I would love it if our school district would utilize the EZ School Supplies program. Through EZSchoolSupplies.com, schools can register, enter their supply lists and receive a promotional package to help inform students and parents about the program. Students and parents can then order prepackaged school supplies that are exactly what their teachers want and require them to have. Not only does it help students be prepared for class, but it helps them to be successful in school, after all, being prepared leads to a feeling of confidence. Being confident leads to success.

Laura Williams’ Musings – Another good part besides not having to fight the crowds and fundraising made simple, is that these supplies are delivered right to the students’ homes! EZ School Supplies offers over 26,000 brand name items on their website. They deliver from 32 distribution centers strategically located throughout the U.S. so you are sure to have one close to your address and that means you can save your gas as well as your valuable time trying to hunt down the needed supplies for the upcoming school year.

Sassy Frazz – I am so thankful I was introduced to the great site called EZ School supplies! Talk about making shopping for school supplies E-Z! Why deal with the hustle and bustle of Wal-Mart or Target, when I can have the convenience of at-home shopping with EZ School supplies! The prices are very comparable and competitive with Wal-Mart and Target, just a few items may be slightly higher. I really don’t mind paying a little extra for the easiness that EZ School supply offers, plus I save on my gas prices.

Freaky Frugalite – School shopping is such a hassle, especially if you have four kids with different needs (like me). How about an online place that does it all, even organizes customized school supplies for you, according to the needs of the child’s school? How about EZSchoolSupplies? I just got a package for my elementary-grade son, and what a blast!

Ang’s Chicken Coop -  EZSchoolSupplies is the answer to many back to school shoppers’ prayers. They make shopping for school supplies as easy as clicking your mouse. No, really. You can buy name brand school supplies at EZSchoolSupplies from crayons to backpacks and avoid the whole rat race. If you are lucky, your school will be registered and they will receive 10% back from your purchase. Of course, if they aren’t, you still can get brand name school supplies at a decent price without leaving the comfort of your home.

The Domestic Diva – EZSchoolSupplies.com takes the stress of off parents, students, and teachers buy conveniently packing and shipping the supplies your child needs either directly to their school in order for them to be ready on the first day or to your home for convenience. I personally love this concept. I dread the day that I have to fight the crowds at the local stores in order to get all the supplies that my child will need for his first day of school. It just seems so much more logical to go to one website, enter a list of supplies, and then wait for them to be delivered versus trying to find all of the supplies in stores.

Lalagirl Reviews – I wish I’d known about EZSchoolSupplies.com. You can buy everything you need for school on the EZSchoolSupplies website at reasonable prices, without even leaving your desk chair. Much better than dragging the kids all over the store and fighting with them over which pencils to buy, right?

Best of all, your school can enroll with EZSchoolSupplies.com and receive a 10% donation of the total net sales, either as a cash donation or in the form of additional supplies.

From Dates To Diapers - I was so excited to find out about a new service that takes the hassle out of shopping for school supplies. EZSchoolSupplies.com provides quality, affordable brand name school supplies delivered right to your door. They offer customized EZPACKS based upon each teacher’s specific supply list or you can customize your own kit, which is, of course, what I would do.

Cass Knits – I really like the box the supplies came in. It’s a good sturdy box with places to write in the child’s like and dislikes, and then keep special work in after the school year is over. It even has a handle on top. I don’t know about you, but I am all about the storage!

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

Hip, Trendy and Witty is what best describe the onesies and T-shirts available at Trendy Tadpole. Check out those funny designs that say “These Are Not The Parents I Ordered“. LOL. I bet seeing such shirts on other children will make any parent laugh though I’m not sure I want my kid to wear one…Heh heh… I’d definitely prefer my two brats to wear ”The Brat Pack” Tees. It’ll give people advance warning of the havoc my kids can create!

Depending on design, sizes for their range of Onesies and Tees start at 3 months to 12 Tee Shirt. A tip from the site : It is good to note that when you are ordering, to request for one size up as  the shirts are made of 100% and thus, they run small. My advice? Order two sizes up and you will not regret it.

Here’s what Trendy Tadpole is all about (excerpt from their site):

Fun tee shirts on super quality fabric that is made in the good ol’ U.S. of A.  It all started in 2004 when I decided it was time to work for myself.  My therapist says I am running a sweatshop but I am the only one in it! Yikes.  My inspiration came from the students I was teaching and the kids I was babysitting and I love challenges.   Trendy Tadpole and it’s owner, me (Julie Pruitt), are a work in progress.   I am bringing pop culture, a hint of nostalgia, and a pinch of fun to the table in every tee shirt. I am constantly changing designs, styles, and ideas to meet the needs of, well, um, you!  I love feedback, so if you have brilliant ideas that will make this mom and pop, minus the pop, shop even greater, lemme hear ‘em.   It only took  wine, lots of sweat, and plenty of tears, but it was all worth it.  I hope you enjoy the tee shirts as much as I like a glass of wine making them.

BUY IT : Check out the many hip tops available here at www.thetrendytadpole.com

WIN IT : Love them? Trendy Tadpole is giving two Parent Reviewers readers a chance to win the Tee of their favourite design. Here’s how you can win:

• Visit www.thetrendytadpole.com and let us know in the comment section below which Tee you want to win
• Blog about this giveaway with a link back to this post and earn an additional entry. Please leave your post url as well as  your Tee of choice in our comment section.

Giveaway is open to those residing in US only. Two Winners will be chosen using the Random.org number generator. Results will be announced on 1st August 2008.

I am a strong supporter of products created by moms and dads as 90% of these parentpreneurs market products that the average family would be able to use comfortably and safely. In most cases, their products are often the result of what they created for their children and family. This is also the case for Screen Inc.

Screen, Inc. was established in 2007 by two moms on a mission. After endless attempts to find a non-greasy facial sunscreen, they decided, “heck, why not concoct our own?” Lori Nauman provided the product development expertise, while Heather Neal brought sales and marketing skills to the table. A marvelous partnership was formed and the sunscreen industry has been given a run for its money.

Parent Reviewers is honoured to be able to review Screen Inc’s Sunscreen Collection which comprises of Teen Screen, Man Screen, Chic Screen and Tweeny Screen. As I love being out in the sun, I have tried many sunscreen products and I can vouch that most of these products are greasy when applied to the skin. Though I hated the feel, I had thought that it was a norm with sunscreen products until I tried out the samples from Sunscreen Inc.

When I first received the samples, I was a little disappointed that they were fomulated with SPF16 only, what with today’s market promoting sunscreen of up to SPF45. However, I discovered an interesting fact - An SPF 15 blocks 94% of UVB rays, while an SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays. The higher SPF’s merely provide 3% more protection, but many are filled with additional chemicals. These chemicals often make the sunscreen oily, irritating and sticky. So, SPF16 will do just fine for me.

I was pleasantly surprised when I use the Chic Screen as the cream was smooth, which made application easy and it also blended easily into my skin. There was none of those greasy feel too! Another fact which attracts me is the product is fragrance free, a must for someone like me, with sensitivity to fragrance and perfumes.

So hey, it’s really no wonder that even celebrities are keen to try out the products. Check out the following celebrities from the gift lounge celebrating the MTV Movie Awards and see whether you can identify who is who with their Screen Inc. Sunscreen products.

Parent Reviewers’ readers will enjoy 10% discount off purchase of Screen Inc’s range of products by using promo code “BLOGGER10“. So, why wait? Click here to purchase now.

I have not tried the rest of the samples as I am saving them for our trip to the pool this weekend. However,  many of our Parent Reviewers are giving them the thumbs up:

Quiver Full Family – My husband got to try the unscented Man Screen.  He didn’t mind volunteering his face (well, the upper portion, he has a large beard on his chin!) for the review, and noted that after the screen was applied he couldn’t even tell it was on.  I tried out the Chic Screen and Teen Screen (both unscented), and came to the same conclusion – this facial sunscreen is so easy to wear!  Just rub it on and forget it as the screen gets to work with it’s SPF 16 protection levels.  It is so light and spreadable – it feels like it absorbs right into your skin with no oily or greasy film.

It’s My Imagination – The last two samples, Teen Screen and Tweeny Screen were both used by my 12 year old daughter. Again, both of these formulas were found to be non-greasy and went on smooth. The Teen Screen is designed for acne-prone teen skin and is non-irritating. The Tweeny Screen is our favorite. It has all of the features of the other 3, but also has a wonderful tropical fruit fragrance. I could really smell pineapple in it. My daughter used both of these on several different occasions, including swimming and softball practice.

Mott’s Island – My verdict : It IS non-greasy and it really didn’t feel like I had any lotion on! There was a slight sunscreen smell, but after application, it dissipated. Overall, it was very light and very easy to apply.

My Two Girls – I love the non-greasy and smooth texture of the sunscreen, I don’t get a layer of white residue on my face after applying, and it doesn’t have any chemical smell that comes with most sunblock. It feels very much like wearing an expensive facial sun protection cream.

A Pregnant Pause – All in all, I love the texture of the creams - looks like the “Moms on a mission” have introduced an excellent alternative to popular brands like Coppertone and Banana Boat.

Just My Tots – I was surprised to see that it is actually endorsed by the Skin Cancer foundation. That speaks volume for a product that is just launched in the market.

I later tried all of them on top of my regular moisturizer and it feels great. No heavy feeling and works great under my makeup. It is definitely something that I will feel good using everyday.

Just Not Martha – I’m not much for scented products usually, with my allergies and everything so I avoided the Tweeny Screen, but the kids liked it. The other three don’t have any added fragrance to them, however there is scent that I’m guessing is from the natural ingredients of shea butter and avocado oil. Thanks to those same ingredients the sunscreens are definitely non-greasy just like they claim on the label. They feel more like a nice lotion than your typical sunblock.

Val’s Views – The entire line of products is dermatologist approved and has received the Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation. They’re even ahead of FDA guidelines for testing and packaging, a welcome change from products that haven’t changed in ten years.

Crumley Family Blog – I tried the chicscreen and the tweenyscreen (since it had a different scent). Both products lived up to its non-greasy promise.

The big pull of Screen, Inc’s products in the idea found in their tag line: “make it your routine.” They want everyone to put on sunburn protection every day, every two hours or so, just as part of their daily routine. This is a great way to teach children (tweens and teens) the importance of keeping their skin healthy.

Lisa Reviews – The first kind I looked at is chicscreen.  Now, this is spf 16+, and you should be reapplying every two hours to keep the protection strong.  The nice thing is that you can apply this under your makeup.  I had to giggle a bit when I read the warnings on this.  The two things I found humorous was the warning that I was a smart gal so I shouldn’t eat it and that no boys are allowed to use it since this product is was designated for the feminine crowd.  This was not tested on animals.

Laura Williams’ Musings – I don’t know about you but I like the fact that the sunscreens are non-greasy.  I don’t like for my face to feel oily and heavy from sunscreen. The Chic Screen does not give my face that feeling. 

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

As parents, I am sure many of you wonder whether the first shoes you buy for your little ones are comfortable and promote healthy development of their feet. When you shop at See Kai Run, which has been awarded the prestigious Seal of Acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association, you can be assured that you will have a healthy fit for your babies and children.

See Kai Run’s urban footwear for babies and toddlers are made of soft leather with very flexible soles which are healthy for developing feet and has wide opening which can accommodate even the chubbiest little feet. The velcro closure is another plus point as it allows for adjustable fit and easy on and off. While emphasis is placed on the importance of the comfort of dainty feet, style is not sacrificed. From hip, urban styles in modern color palettes to bold designs and detailing, there’s definitely a pair which every parent will love.

Now, there’s more reason to shop at See Kai Run.

I don’t know about you guys but here’s another great excuse for me to shop *grins*.

About See Kai Run

See Kai Run is a family-owned and operated business located outside of Seattle, Washington. The idea was born when owner Cause Haun was on a quest for the perfect first pair of shoes for her son, Kai. Unable to find shoes in fun styles that still promoted the healthy development of little feet, Cause and her husband created their own line of shoes that satisfied all of these needs. In just three and a half years, See Kai Run has seen sales expand from a few boutiques, mostly in the Seattle area, to stores all around the country and worldwide.

For this week’s giveaway, you will get a chance to pamper your baby or child’s feet with a pair of See Kai Run’s shoes. One priviledge reader will get to win a pair of shoe any size/style of the winner’s choice – limited to readers in the 50 U.S. states.

Need to hear more from other parents? Check out what they had to say:

Renaissance Culinaire – Do you value fast service? Most people would answer this question with a resounding yes. In an age when convenience is king, customer service sometimes gets left at the wayside. But apparently not at izzyprints.com. They will ready your invites within 2-3 days and ship them to you as fast as possible.

Mom Reviews – Now, thanks to sites like Izzyprints.com, expecting parents can choose from a wide variety of styles of birth announcements that are unique, stylish, and are as much of a gift as an announcement!

Freaky Frugalite – How about those adorable party invitations or cute little birth announcements that everybody seems to have now? Back in the “olden days,” we were completely at the mercy of Hallmark (and Hallmark’s prices, ick)! Look at this adorable birth announcement card– isn’t it the sweetest thing!?! It’s from Izzyprints.com.

Mama’s Bag of Tricks – Just imagine receiving a birth announcement like this. How cute is that? I’m sure every parent is eager to show off their little bundle of joy. Plus, friends always ask to see pictures of the cutie pie when you tell them that you’ve delivered.

Quiver Full Family – Izzyprints.com has a solution for us busy moms that is quick and easy, even when we have a newborn cradled in our arms! Not only is their answer to this dilemna ideal, but they also have the sweetest birth announcement designs available – much nicer than the generic cards at the grocery store.

Cass Knits – Izzy Prints is the go-to place for birth announcements and party invitations. The price is good for custom printing.

De Moments – Doesn’t the above card look cute? In fact, I would probably use the special announcement by creating them online with Izzyprint. It would be easier since there are lots of birth announcements designs and style to choose from their website. And it even saves me lots of time as I could just order the cards online from them and get them within 2-3 working days.

There’s no doubt about it, Uncommonly Cute they certainly are! I am referring to the hip and cool toddler and baby clothes from the online store, Uncommonly Cute.

Afterall, who knows better than a mom, how few fashion options exist for our little ones. That was of course, before mommy Allison Friedland came to the rescue with the birth of her store, Uncommonly Cute.

It is truly a delight to know that I now have such cool choices of T-shirts to dress my little girl in. How could anyone resist T-shirts that make statements like “I’m Kind Of A Big Deal” and “Miso Cute“? I’m definitely a sucker for such fun tees! The t-shirts and onesies not only reflect a sense of individual style but most important of all, are comfortable as well because each garment is made of 100% combed cotton. Thus, the clothes are super duper soft to the baby skin and definitely parent approved.

I love discovering great shopping sites and Uncommonly Cute is definitely one which I have bookmarked. If you are searching for that perfect baby shower gift or some cool baby clothes for the little cutie in your life, you know your search stops here. Use Promo Code PR508 and get 20% off your purchases on Uncommonly Cute.

Read what our parent reviewers are saying about Uncommonly Cute:

Atomic Mama – They have super cute (and tiny) shirts and onesies for little ones that say things like “New Kid on the Block” or “Elmo is My Homeboy” (*squee!*). Another one of my favorites is “Chick Magnet” because Xander (my 3 year old) is such a player (lol!). Cute baby clothes shopping and potentially saving a baby’s life – how can you go wrong?

Laura Williams’ Musings – If you have twins and you want a little whimsy to add to their clothing, check out the Twin Baby Clothes collection.  I had to giggle at the copy/paste tee set.  Those are so fun!

Lyricandariasmom – I personally love the newest styles they have available, something that would be worn by my 2 year old and 4 year old girls. Their sizes range from newborn up to a size 6, which is great because I can do all my shopping for some hip new shirts all in one spot!

Val’s Views – Part of what makes this line of childrens’ clothing different is that you decide how you want it to look. After selecting the design you can choose to put it on a onesie, short sleeve or long sleeve shirt and you can choose the color.

Redsoxmommy – If you’re the kind of mom who’s sick of trucks, ducks and puppies on all your kids clothes then Uncommonly Cute is the place for you. They have a “no ducks, trucks or puppies allowed” rule. So check them out and start letting your little ones express themselves.

Cheeks to Cheeks  - What I like about Uncommonly Cute clothes is their guarantee on using nothing but 100% combed cotton for each garment. 100% combed cotton is super duper soft and it does not irritate sensitive skin. Our younger child has super sensitive skin and I can rest assure if I buy anything from Uncommonly Cute it will be safe for her.

Just My Rambling – The fun thing at Uncommonly Cute is that you can customize your shirt. First you select a design, and then you select a style whether you prefer a onesie, a short-sleeve T-shirt or a long-sleeve T-shirt. For certain designs, you can also select the color and add a matching hat.

Renaissance Culinaire – I especially liked the newborn onsie that has “freshly baked” across the chest. For a baker such as myself, not only is it funny but very cute. Many a joke has been had at a pregnant girl’s expense referencing her “bun in the oven”. This simple statement is both endearing and laughable. Your child is an Artisan made creation, after all. Celebrate your handy work!

The Pond – Have you noticed how cute celebrities babies are dressed lately? That is because they have discovered the cutest baby clothing offered at Uncommonly Cute.

Mommy Daddy Blog – At Uncommonly Cute, you’ll find hip apparel that reflects children’s unique personalities. My favorites are the Local Celebrity and keepin’ it real… real cute! tees! I also find the my grandma rocks tee hilarious because I know that my mother and Daddy’s mother would feel super old if Jayden wore it! There’s a rocking chair printed on it.

My thoughts Ideas and Ramblings – Seriously, are these not some of the cutest shirts you’ve ever seen? They really have the best selection of shirts with really funny saying on it for little ones that I have ever seen, and a huge plus for me is that they are not rude (that seems to be the hit right now and I hate it).

Mom Reviews – Not only is each piece made of 100% super-soft combed cotton, they are also machine washable, safe, durable and made in sweatshop-free American studios. Your child will look great and be socially conscious, too!

 

I love flip flops as they are just so easy to slip on and comfortable enough for me to wear when I run my errands. Many may consider it a fashion faux pas but not me, as casual comfort is my style.

Flip flops, also known as fitflops are now the new rage among women in England. Check out the FitFlop launched by sweatyBetty last summer which has been such a hit that their stocks are almost sold out! The secret behind their success is the micro wobbleboard technology which gives you a workout while you walk. Thus, every step you take in your Fitflops help tone, trim and tighten your muscles. Woot! Ladies, you can now trim your thighs and bum without those expensive trips to the gym.  Unbelievable? Go on, read the testimonials for yourself.

I am definitely jumping for joy and flippin’ for these super comfortable Fit Flops. Too bad I only discovered them after Mother’s Day but hey, what do you know? I have already added them to my next year’s Mother’s Day Wish List *wink*.
