Zooniwear! Mop Top Hats-Fun and Functional

cat3kidsnus — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 23:13:00 +0000

During the winter months, it can be impossible to get Kelsie to wear a hat willingly. Luckily though, we were able to try out a hat that she wants to wear EVERYWHERE-the girl went through all of Wal-Mart with her Zooni Mop Top Hat!

These beautiful hand-knit hats are not only full of spunk and style but also fully functional to keep those little heads warm. Each of the Zooniwear! designs are 100% Unique. On the Zooni website, their inspiration is all about children.

Zooni also creates hand-knit “M’uppet Mittens” to protect those precious hands when the weather gets chilly.

“Zooni celebrates childhood — all of its individuality, laughter, and adventure! Our products protect little ones and bring smiles to all those around.

Zooni was inspired by the arrival of our own children. As moms, we are passionate about protecting our kids while simultaneously demanding quality, comfort, and style. We work tirelessly to guarantee that our accessories are functional and stylishly different.”

As a Mom myself, I was very impressed with the quality of Zooni’s hats. While Kelsie received the Kate’s Moss design, Aubrey was the happy recipient of Panda Monium. My girls are full of spunk and these designs were perfect for my cuties. Dad and I also agreed, these hand-knit hats were durable for Iowa weather and we had no worries about keeping ears warm with the girls Zooni Mop-Top Hats!

Zooni has my seal of approval for being fun, functional, and one of a kind!

Zooniwear! is also a Playdate Pick!

Bissell Little Green Floor Cleaner

cat3kidsnus — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 19:34:00 +0000

Keeping a clean house is a must when you have children. And of course, with children come spills and stains.

Thanks to Wal-Mart, I had the chance to check out the Bissell Little Green Floor Cleaner
in honor of upcoming Earth Day. This machine might be small but it has incredible power! This Earth-Friendly Carpet Cleaner works on stains and spots and is effective for jobs big or small.

We used the Bissell Little Green Deep Cleaner at my grandmother’s house and she was impressed! The amount of dirt we were pulling up from her carpet was incredible (in a disgusting sort of way) and we loved knowing how much this tiny machine could pick up.

How is the Little Green Earth-Friendly?
-The Bissell Little Green is made with PVC-Free pieces and recycled materials, as well as it’s packaging.

This compact design comes in handy as well. When you store the Little Green, it is already set up to and ready to clean! I am a smaller build person and I had no problem picking this cleaner up and moving around freely.

How Would You Like to Win a Bissell Little Green Floor Cleaner??

This Means Trouble When This Mommy Finds….

Let Me Represent YOU at BlogHer 09!

cat3kidsnus — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 13:45:00 +0000

Would you like to see your product/company featured at BlogHer? Are you looking for a unique and fun personality to make your company stand out? For those of you looking for avenues to be seen at BlogHer, I might be able to help you.

This Mom is looking to create new contacts and establish relationships with the great amount of individuals that make the blogging world possible on a daily basis. This includes the bloggers, the companies using blogging as a way to develop their product advertising and so forth. The potential of BlogHer for companies wishing to get their products into new hands is also unlimited at this great conference.

WHY AM I AN INDIVIDUAL THAT CAN MAKE YOUR PRODUCT STAND OUT?
While I might be a young or “new” blogger, I am still full of spunk. While I am 22, I am a mother to two young girls and have a unique outlook and creativity I instill in my blogging process. I have had the fun opportunity to write for MomDot in featuring Boutique Finds as well as becoming a team member with Playdate Picks. I love what I have learned while blogging and enjoy growing my relations with the people I communicate with through blogging.

To me, it is important to show why a product stands out above the rest and find ways to catch an individuals attention. Social marketing is growing and word of mouth is an incredible advertisement.

How can it relate to them in their everyday life? What is a humorous outlook that grabs a consumers interest? This Mommy has participated in various events within my community including-

Volunteering for local nursing homes, Special Olympics events
Campaign Volunteering
Campus Marketing Programs

BlogHer is an excellent opportunity for all individuals participating. Companies are able to reach new potential customers and teach other bloggers about their company to spread the word. Word of Mouth is one of the best forms of advertisement.

As a potential “walking advertisement” for your product, it is vital to stand out. It is more than just a way of informing, it’s a way to make a person remember your product. I am more than willing to pass product/business cards, product samples, flyer bags filled with goodies, etc. to promote your company.

While I am attending BlogHer-
-I will be blogging live from events.
-The Products I am Featuring will be featured in Top Sponsors on For The Love of Baby! for an extended period of time.
-I will feature your products through the various promotion possibilities listed above.
-Twittering the various activities throughout the BlogHer conference
-Sponsored Blog Posts
-Feature products through Facebook’s For The Love of Baby Blog Fans! Group to reach further potential consumers.

UPDATE:I have purchased a BlogHer Conference Pass.

While I live in Iowa, I am only several hours from Chicago-it would be cheaper for myself to rent a vehicle and drive versus fly (which will also allow me to bring more items to draw attention to your business)

I am also hoping to split hotel costs with another one of the great bloggers I have met online while blogging.

While I am doing everything I can to lower the cost of expenses, sponsorships will make my BlogHer experience possible. Without the great companies that have seen what blogging can do as a whole, I would not be here.

Would you like to discuss how I can help promote your company/product further at BlogHer? Feel free to e-mail me at jenna@loveofbabyonline.com.

With your help, I would love to get your product the attention it deserves at BlogHer!

Thank you to the many companies and individuals that make blogging a new avenue of media!
