Updating my xmas wish list now

This past weekend, my family had a little photo shoot for our upcoming holiday cards…

I noticed during our shoot that our photographer was rockin’ this beautiful camera bag, which she had told me last year that she had won on a blog giveaway. I didn’t get to see it in person until this past weekend…and now I must have one!

It’s gorgeous and doesn’t even look like the typical “camera bag.”

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m no professional. But I am a mom with a big clunky camera that tries to stuff a Canon SLR into an always waaaay too small purse. I’m constantly fumbling and rearranging my wallet, phone, camera & lens to fit into my bag when I just want to take pictures of my son at the park! {sigh}

So I’m updating my Christmas wish list with a Kelly Moore bag {hint, hint, hubby if you read this}.

If you are a photographer, amateur, or just a mom with mamarazzi tendencies then hopefully you find this on your wish list too :)

 

 

 

Badger me all you want

A few weeks ago, I saw someone post the link to EWG’s 2010 Sunscreen Guide exposing the best & the worst sunscreens on the market. And of course, my {not so trusty} Banana Boat was rated one the WORST sunscreens on the market! Mainly, because of the poor UVB coverage and all of the chemicals that are in it! To make matters worse, the baby version, that I use on my son was rated just as bad!

I was so horrified, that I vowed to never use that stuff again.

One of the #1 top rated sunscreens is this stuff called Badger. Their sunscreen is organic, all natural, contains no chemicals, water resistant and provides excellent UVA & UVB coverage. I found it on Amazon for $13.60 {kinda pricey} and it’s only a 2.9 oz tube! Yikes! But the almost 100 positive reviews by customers made me give it a try.

Let me just say that this is the BEST sunscreen EVER!!! I put it on my son one afternoon and let him run through the sprinklers, and beads of water were literally bouncing off of his skin! It was amazing.  It’s super thick, but rubs in well. Kinda leaves a ghostly look if you don’t rub well, but it wasn’t a big deal for me.

But the icing on the cake was that my husband actually liked wearing it. My husband is a football coach and spends hours in the sun and comes home looking like a lobster on most days. Partly because he is the WORST baby when it comes to wearing sunscreen. I would rather convince my toddler to wear it, than my husband. He is horrible. Whines & whines about putting it on because it “burns” his eyes when he sweats. Well, lo & behold, he used it once and was hooked. He swears it doesn’t burn his eyes at all {probably because there are no chemicals in it – duh!} and he doesn’t come home looking like he was fried up on a BBQ!

This stuff puts me at ease knowing that it’s safe for the whole family to use and there are no harmful chemicals being put on our bodies. To me, it’s worth the extra $$$ :)

Go grab one!

I wanted to share what I just purchased this morning. I haven’t even received it yet, in fact I can’t really give you a review on the product because I’ve never used it. But it’s such a great price that I have to pass along the deal just in case you have been looking for something like this too.

 

I bought the Regalo My Cot Portable Bed for my son. It is on sale, on Amazon, for $20 with no tax & free shipping! This is the lowest price out there, even lower than Wal-Mart since they charge for shipping.

This cot had excellent reviews not only on the Amazon site but also every other retail site I could find it on. I had to jump on this deal since we are planning another mini vacation in October and I’m pretty sure my son will have outgrown his pack ‘n play by then.

It’s 48 inches long, so it should last him for a few years and definitely throughout all of toddlerhood.

Go grab one! :)
