Prairieland Herbs Baby Goodness Giveaway
Filed under: Baby Stuff, Giveaways
I was delighted a few weeks ago when I went to my PO Box and discovered that my favorite ladies at Prairieland Herbs had sent me a box of their baby goodies…congratulating me on our upcoming arrival. Weeeeeee! I was so excited. When Bella was a baby, I hadn’t met Donna and Maggie yet…so I was using Burt’s Bees products. This time around, I will definitely be using their line…simply because it’s more pure. It has less ingredients and smelly “stuff” in it than Burt’s Bees and I love it.
The great news is that we’re doing another giveaway…of all the products you see above! Calling all pregnant mamas, mamas with babies/toddlers, or those of you with pregnant mama friends: we are giving away the New Baby Gift Set…PLUS a stick of Belly Balm!! I love all the stuff in the gift set…especially the lavender powder (it smells so yummy!)…but my favorite so far has been the Belly Balm. I just used it once before my recent midwife appointment and as soon as I pulled my shirt up, she commented on how good my skin looked! 
I’m crediting the belly balm. It’s good.
The gift set includes:
1 – 8 oz. Baby’s Milk Bath
1 – 4 oz. Baby Bubbles
1 tube Baby Soft
1 Bottom’s Up Baby PowderPlus the Belly Balm (which is not normally in the gift set)
You can read more about each product here, along with all the ingredients.
If you place an order with them…be sure to mention that you saw them on my blog and they will throw in a sample of the Baby’s Milk Bath! They also do a “Freebie Friday” giveaway each week on their blog, so if you love their products like I do…be sure to subscribe so don’t miss it.
To enter yourself in the drawing to be held in one week (I’ll do a random pick at 12:00 PST on Friday, Jan. 16)…leave me a comment and tell me one of your current FAVORITE THINGS. Your favorite memory from the holidays, your favorite blog right now, your favorite book from the last couple of months, or your favorite indulgence…you pick. I love hearing about favorites.

Comments Closed…drawing winner soon!

What fun to read all of your favorites…they make me smile!! It just reminds me that there is still SO MUCH GOOD in this world…despite the evil and sadness and death that we see every day. And most of these good things are just every day things…blessings in the daily routines of our lives. Isn’t God good? Keep ‘em coming!

A new favorite is a blog called Already Pretty. It’s written by this fun lady who loves clothes and shopping, but loves a positive body image and having fun with the way you look, just the way God made you. It’s encouraging and funny. Thanks for the chance to win such good products.

I am truly loving all the love my older kids show for the “baby”. It is sooo beautiful to see the love between siblings! I’m sure you’ll know just what I speak of very soon!

One of my favorite things right now is my “raw” hot chocolate. I’m not sure how raw it can be after I poor boiling water over it, but at least I feel better! I use coconut milk powder, honey and cacao powder and add hot water. Mmmm…yummy! Sometimes I add cinnamon. What a treat! Well, it is actually becoming a staple, but I’m working on that.

My favourite thing right now is watching my two year old daughter rub my growing bump, kiss it and say hello to her little brother or sister, while telling the baby that she is his/her big sister. She is so excited about it all and I can’t stop smiling at her love for my bump.
And then to feel little flutters and kicks as my daughter is talking to the baby just makes it even better. Sibling bonding starts early

I’m due in May like you and my current favorite thing is when my 16 month old will kiss or blow on my tummy and then sign “baby” and point to my tummy. So sweet and precious. I don’t think he really understands since he’s so young, but it’s still adorable.

One of my favorite things is spending an afternoon drinking fabulous coffee at my favorite (local) coffee shop. It’s wonderful. It’s right in the downtown, they’ve got lots of free trade items for sale, tons of used books, original music, and the most inspiring people. The Red Rooster coffee house…check it out if you’re ever in South Dakota!
This giveaway would make a fantastic gift for my roommate who recently found out she’s going to be a new mommy!

Thank you for this!

My favorite holiday moment was getting to spend time with my nephew. My husband’s sisters son is so adorable and he’s the happiest baby in the world. He’s just a few months old, but he helped them tear open his gifts and it was one of those priceless moments.

My favorites this week are raspberry yogrut-covered pretzels, thick wool socks, and the peach-fuzz on my baby’s head.

That looks fantastic! Especially since I have been totally unable to deal with artificial fragrances this pregnancy, and have had to eliminate any products with them.
My favorite thing right now is this baby. I’m approaching 14 weeks, and after three miscarriages and lots of medical strife, it’s finally sinking in that this one looks to be a keeper. I love it! We are having a blast.

My favorite books right now are the Twilight series. I have gotten totally sucked in. And in the nature of the drawing my favorite Prairieland Herbs product right now is the Vanilla Honey Sugar Scrub. It makes me feel and smell yummy and is great for winter skin.

My favorite thing lately has been listening to my daughter sing Christmas songs and other little tunes that we hear on the radio. She never gets the words right, since she’s still two (almost three), but it is so cute.
Sara, it’s so fun to come and visit here. Thanks for sharing your life.

I did a lot of reading last year, so I’m going with fav. recent book, since books are a favorite thing – A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. It was my first time to read that classic! A close second that I just have to mention to all the other expecting moms is The Squire by Enid Bagnold – an introspecive fictional rambling of an expecting woman, plus it describes a happy home-birth.

My fave thing today is how my 17 months old son learned to sweetly hug with his arms wrapped around us as he says… “papá” and then “mamá”… Fave thing!!!!

What a fun post! I’ve loved reading others’ responses.
For me, I’d have to say my favorite thing at the moment is holding hands with my toddler girls (3 years and 20 months, respectively) and dancing round the living room with them to Laurie Berkner music… We’re all laughing and breathless and I find myself thinking to myself each time, “Remember this always, remember this moment…”

Well! Hm, one of my favorite things right now is making a pot of tea, and drinking it throughout the day. Also, the fact that my son (18 months) is pointing to every bird he sees and saying “duck!”

I am obsessed with researching cloth diapers right now. So many options – even when one narrows it down to organic only. Or Hemp. Or Bamboo. My husband thinks I have lost it. Due in March!!!!

My favorite things right now are my baby smiling at himself in the mirror, a hot cup of ginseng mint tea with agave nectar, soaking recipes from the passionate homemaking blog you mentioned and my friend’s beautiful newborn.

Holding hands with my three year old son (who is three going on 16!). I know these days are limited and it won’t be long before he is too “cool” to hold my hand or snuggle up together on these cold days.
14
2009
My favorite treat at the moment, since coffee doesn’t appeal to me in the least at 11 weeks, is a Rooibos London Fog (Rishi Earl Grey Rooibos tea, steamed milk, and a little agave nectar). Yum.

Hi Sara! Hope all is well..lots going on in your world lately. My favorite book of 2009 is The Shack by William Paul Young. Great read if you get the chance. Also, this evening I am off to purchase essential oils, Dr. Bonner’s and vinegar to make “green” cleaning products for my family-upcoming b-days. While there I’ll pike up a starter pak of G-Diapers for a co-worker…I’m a cloth diapering momma for 16 months now. Thanks and stay warm!!

My absolute favorite holiday memory is 2 years old. I brought my daughter home a week before Christmas 2006. Just seeing the look in my 2 eldest eyes as they looked at their new sister under the christmas tree was better than any present that could have been bought anywhere anytime.

I’m not prego yet, but I have a 7 week old and a 12 month old that I’m fostering. I would love to try the products on my babies! My favorite thing lately is to enjoy a summery January day in South Georgia strolling my 1 year-old, Whitney, while wearing my baby-baby, Caliyah in the baby-bjorn. Thanks for the give away.
