The Love Of Grandparents

When it comes to grandparents, Baby C has a plethora of them. She is certainly blessed with so much love.  Unfortunately, because they live across country, we don't get to see them nearly as often as we would want to.  Thank goodness for FaceTime and Skype!

How many grandparents does your child(ren) have?  Do they live near or far?

Spark Of Amber Necklace {Review and Giveaway}

Disclosure: I wrote this post on behalf of Spark of Amber and received a promotional item to thank me for my time.  All views and opinions regarding Spark of Amber and the Baltic Amber necklace are my own and were not influenced by other sources.
 
Baby C never had a problem with teething until she turned one.  I remember the excruciating pain she had and the only relief she received was from her pacifier.  She only wanted to be rocked by mommy.  We spent all day in that rocking chair, praying for some relief for Baby C.  I wish I had the a Baltic Amber necklace at the time.  I'm sure it would have helped and brought some much needed relief.

Baltic Amber is 100 percent natural and is said to provide relief of pain, calmness, help with teething and relieve inflammation in the throat, ear and stomach.  With my daughter's molars popping through, this is exactly what we needed.  Baby C received the a Baltic Amber necklace from Spark of Amber, a company based in the United States and run by a work at home mom.

Instead of using big factory companies, Spark of Amber outsources her products to three different women in Lithuania, who make the jewelry to support their families.  Spark of Amber jewelry has been tested and verified to be authentic.

Baby C is an accessories girl, so she loves wearing her amber necklace all the time, everywhere we go.  The necklace provides a turn clasp, which makes it easy to take on and off.  It is very light and the perfect length.  And I love that I can have a peace of mind, knowing that it's providing calmness and relief of pain.

You can purchase the same teething necklace Baby C has $16.99 or choose from a variety of other Baltic Amber products.  Spark of Amber provides great prices and free shipping!

My Princess Bible Purse {Review and Giveaway}

I wrote this post on behalf of Tommy Nelson and received a promotional item to thank me for my time.  All views and opinions regarding Tommy Nelson and the My Princess Bible Purse are my own and were not influenced by other sources.

We have created a new bedtime routine to help Baby C settle into bed a little easier.  After her bath, I create a dim room and turn on her sound machine.  As she brushes her teeth, we read two books of her choosing.  One of her new, favorite books is the My Princess Bible Purse.  

With simple text and beautiful illustrations, My Princess Bible Purse provides kid-friendly examples of the characteristics that God develops in our lives.  It explains God's Holy Spirit in each of us, including qualities such as love, joy, peace and patience.  The purse handle is perfect for little hands to carry the purse book wherever they go.

I always wonder if my daughter understands who God is and struggle with how to teach her about Him.  This book is so helpful to teach Baby C about God's fruits of the spirit.  This sparkly, pink purse is perfect for little girls ages 2-5.

You can purchase the same book Baby C has for $9.99 at TommyNelson.com or choose from a variety of other faith products.  Tommy Nelson is offering one Sweet Tiny Blessings' reader the My Princess Bible Purse book for your little one.  Stay connected with Tommy Nelson on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Blessings For Mother's Day

This Mother's Day was exactly what I needed.  It was low key and relaxing.  I didn't have to do any chores, such as laundry, cooking, dishes or even change dirty diapers.  And I got to spend the day with my family.  But the best part of this Mother's Day was a hug from Baby C.

Baby C is not the type to give hugs and kisses freely.  You have to ask her first.  But after my husband secretly worked very hard with her, teaching her to say, "Happy Mother's Day," what came out was unexpected.  Instead of saying the words to me, she ran to me with arms wide open and embraced me tightly.

And the rest of the day, she proceeded to say, "I want to go to Happy Mothers!"  Ha ha ha!  You are already here, baby girl!

What made your Mother's Day special?

Nuby Bath Time Clock and Thermometer {Review}

I wrote this post on behalf of Nuby and received a promotional item to thank me for my time.  All views and opinions regarding Nuby and the bath time clock and thermometer are my own and were not influenced by other sources.

I remember the first time I gave Baby C a bath.  I was freaked out to say the least.  She cried the whole time.  I thought maybe the water was too hot or too cold.  And I didn't even know where to start. Nuby's Bath Time Clock and Thermometer would have eased my mind.

The Nuby Bath Time Clock and Thermometer can help you keep bath time safe and fun.  It's unique 3-in-1 design includes a clock, a timer that counts up or down, and a thermometer that displays in Celsius or Fahrenheit.  It also floats and will alert you if the water gets too hot or too cold.  The timer automatically counts up when the sensor touches the water so you know how long your baby has been in the water.

Baby C received the turtle (it also comes in a duck character) bath time clock and thermometer and was so excited to take a bath with it.  She had fun using her imagination as she made the turtle swim throughout the tub.  We also used the timer to count down when she had two minutes left. It's perfect for all ages!

You can purchase the same Bath Time Clock and Thermometer Baby C has for $10.99 from BuyBabyDirect.com and idealbaby.com.  Stay connected with Nuby on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram!

Her Favorite Character

From about the age of 1 or so, Baby C's favorite character was Caillou.  She loved watching him on tv and mimicking his good and bad behaviors.  For example, when I told her to do something, she would reply, "No!  I don't want to."  Seriously, out of all the lessons that Caillou teaches, she picks up that?  Ha!  So for her second birthday, we celebrated with a Caillou party.

It wasn't until after her 2nd birthday when she started to learn about other characters.  I bought her a Hello Kitty t-shirt for St. Patrick's day.  But she had no idea who she was until other friends at her nursery got excited about her shirt.

And not too much later, she started to love Mickey Mouse.  She thinks Minnie and Mickey are the same.  I've tried to explain the difference but she hasn't quite caught on yet.  It will be so exciting when she gets to meet Minnie and Mickey in person some day.

Who is your child's favorite character?
