Baby Bounty Bash-Nature Baby's Organic Sleep Cocoon (Review only)

This post is a 'Baby Bounty Bash' feature...The Online Baby Shower Extravaganza on Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports from March 25- April 25-2010.


Set up in 1998, Nature Baby has grown to become one of New Zealand's leading organic and natural baby brands.

Driven by the need to have our babies enjoy a restful night's sleep, free from chemicals and synthetics, Nature Baby developed their certified Summer Weight Organic Sleep Cocoon.


This is made from 100% pure, certified, organic jersey cotton that helps absorb baby's body moisture, allow ventilation yet at the same time keep the little 'snoozer' snug and comforted in the Cocoon.

The Summer Weight Organic Sleep Cocoon comes aesthetically packaged and protected in its very own drawstring pouch.


Price-wise it is a little more expensive than your regular sleep-sacks but then again two factors come into play...

• The Cocoon's durable fabric is made from certified organic jersey cotton and
• Is made for children to wear till they turn 2 years old. Bunny girl stands at about 3.2 feet tall and if I hold the Cocoon next to her it measures in length from her shoulders till her toes. Its that long, so just this one Cocoon will last for the first 2-3 years of your child's life. (Dependent on how tall he/she grows)

Buy it:

You can buy a Nature Baby Organic Sleep Cocoon for 68.95 US$

CLOSED: Baby Bounty Bash - Everything Princesses 50$ GC (+Giveaway)

This post is a 'Baby Bounty Bash' feature...The Online Baby Shower Extravaganza on Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports from March 25- April 25-2010.
The baby pink gown is 100% polyester and the detail work on the costume is intricately elegant with the ruffles, ribbons and frills.
Bunny girl wore this to a classmate's Princess themed party and I had a number of Mommies ask me where I'd found her unique and very Princess-like gown.
(The only feature I wish this pretty costume had was a lining underneath as I had to make Princess Bunny girl wear a petticoat inside to mask the shadow of her royal legs!)

What I loved the most about the dress was the transformation that came upon Bunny girl as soon as it was slipped over her shoulders.
The tone of her voice became soft and 'sing-song'-y, she sat delicately, walked slowly and nibbled on party treats daintily.


Oh yeah! She was 'Princess' all the way!!

Everything Princesses has some great Princess themed stuff. I'm telling you, whoever wins this giveaway will need to really make some hard choices as you will seriously want to buy something from practically every category!

CLOSED: Child friendly, wooden, ImagiPLAY toys (+ Giveaway)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

Today with all the crazy news reports one reads about lead levels in X toy and chemicals found on Y toy, you sometimes think twice about actually stopping at the local retail store and picking up a toy for your little one. I generally try to steer away from buying stuff at the Dollar stores only because I personally am not convinced of the quality of the toys sold there.

More toy manufacturers are veering towards the toys used by our great grandparents and grandparents.....wooden, natural, eco-friendly and yes, lead free! ImagiPLAY is one such leading, high quality, educational toy manufacturer in the market.

From wooden baby rattles
to wooden building blocks
and play-sets made of wood,
ImagiPLAY has been developing their line of products to cater to the growing needs of our inquisitive and creative little kids.

Bunny girl was sent a Color Me Up Butterfly Puzzle set


You know how much my little Puzzle enthusiast loves puzzles, so this was received with excitement....which was then replaced by curiosity. "Mama why is it a brown butterfly?" was the immediate concern.

Well....the butterfly's brown because she has to first work on a painting project first before she can work on the puzzle....isn't that fun?

So off to work my 'Eager Beaver went'.....


She has been having a field day with the paints and her slowly transforming butterfly. We haven't finished yet as its so much fun to experiment with the different colors!


I'm hoping by this weekend, we will get to this point so that she can do the 'easy-peasy' puzzle.


(But I'm not banking on it as she seems to have forgotten the Butterfly is actually a puzzle and not just an art project....Oh well...as long as she's having fun!)


Buy it:

You can buy the smaller Color Me Up Puzzle sets for 13.99 US$. If you have a little boy, the Color Me Up Train Puzzle set will be a big hit!


Win it:

One reader will have the opportunity to win a Color Me Up Puzzle set, priced at 13.99 US$.


Here's how you can win it:

1. Mandatory entry (without this, all other entries will be disqualified)-

Look around the ImagiPLAY site and tell me which Color Me Up Puzzle set, priced at 13.99 US$, you'd like to win for your child.

CLOSED: Baby Bounty Bash - The Modest Mom (+Giveaway)

This post is a 'Baby Bounty Bash' feature...The Online Baby Shower Extravaganza on Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports from March 25- April 25-2010.



Not only is it hard to find a decent maternity skirt in a retail store but in all probability the only option you'll land up with is a denim skirt. Thanks to Caroline Allen, you can now just click over to The Modest Mom store to shop for a maternity skirt that is the length you want it to be and comfortable for your growing bump!

During Spring break Bunny Boo decided to further on expansion plans and my nice compact little bump popped! Thankfully the Modest Mom maternity skirt I'd been sent for review was my saving grace when I went to take the preschoolers' Bible class in church on Wednesday.


The ruffled, roomy effect allowed me to sit comfortably at their level (and you know how low that can be!) and the maternity skirt band comfortably embraced my baby bump unlike some tight maternity wear you get in the stores these days. The skirt's fabric seems durable to withstand several washes without withering out and I love that even though it's a light colored skirt I don't have to worry about wearing an inner slip as the skirt's not transparent.


The Modest Mom maternity skirts are modest in length and available either upto your calf or till just above your ankle. you can choose the size and one of nine fabric options based on your preference.


(The Modest Mom also carries nursing covers and used tops very economically priced.)

Buy it:

You can buy a Modest Mom maternity skirt from anywhere between 28.95 US$ - 32.95 US$. (+6.50 US$ flat rate to be shipped anywhere within the US)


Win it:



Here's how you can win it:

1. Mandatory entry (without this, all other entries will be disqualified)-

CLOSED: 1 DAY OPEN GIVEAWAY ONLY! : Bugs Bunny Easter Funnies Dvd and The First Easter Bunny Dvd (2 winners- Unlimited Entries)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

Warner Brothers has re-released 2 animated oldie-goldies this Spring - Bugs Bunny's Easter Funnies and The First Easter Rabbit. Both these classics first came out in the late 1970s and now they're back again to entertain.

Two of my readers will have the opportunity to win a pack containing both these dvds.


In Bugs Bunny's Easter Funnies, Granny gets the dreaded call that the Easter Bunny is ill and hurries to find a substitute Easter Bunny. Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang jump up to volunteer. Lo and behold, what unravels is a lot of 'looney madness' ! Who will fit the role the best?

Portions of legendary Looney Tunes cartoon shorts are cleverly mixed into the plot of this delightful special including Birds Anonymous, For Scent-imental Reasons, Knighty Knight Bugs, Sahara Hare, Robin Hood Daffy, Rabbit of Seville, Hillbilly Hare and Tweety’s Circus.

The dvd also includes 3 interactive Looney Tunes puzzles and an additional bonus feature episode- 'His Hare-Raising Tale'.

Viewing duration: Approximately 50 minutes


Buy it:

You can buy Bugs Bunny's Easter Funnies for a reduced price of 7.96 US$ (+ shipping) from the Warner Brothers online store.


The First Easter Rabbit is about a little girl's toy bunny called Stuffy who comes to life and hops his way down to Easter Valley to deliver baskets full of goodies to the kids there. Poor Stuffy, though, is in for some opposition when Zero, a mean ice character threatens to spoil the fun and bring the chills to all Stuffy's plans. Watch as Stuffy gets help from some unexpected sources!

Academy Award winner Burl Ives narrates this fanciful, tuneful and color-splashed animated tale of The First Easter Rabbit.

The dvd also includes 6 menu based puzzles for kids.

Viewing duration: Approximately 30 minutes.


Buy it:

You can buy The First Easter Rabbit for a reduced price of 7.96 US$ (+ shipping) from the Warner Brothers online store.


Between the two dvds we'd vote Bugs Bunny's Easter Funnies over The First Easter Rabbit only because there's just something about Bugsy that never fails to entertain and set us off!!
Both dvds reminded me of the cartoons we'd watch as kids....boy, animation sure has come such a long way today!


THE OPEN GIVEAWAY (Unlimited Entries!)

You can enter this ONE DAY giveaway as many times as you want to BUT you need to keep your comments totally Looney Tunes based.

(I know I had to make it hard but then I love Bugsy and adorable little Tweety!! You can talk about Bugs Bunny episodes you have watched, what you find cute about Tweety, the other crazy Looney Tunes characters....anything as long as its related to Bugs Bunny!)

* You can also send out unlimited tweets with this message and post the tweet links as a comment *
