#Amazinghood Newborn Advice and Giveaway

This post and giveaway were made possible byiConnect and Dreft. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.


Having a newborn is one of the most precious things in the world.  You have been pregnant for what seems like forever and you now have a baby!  Things can become overwhelming with a newborn in your household.  I am going to give you a bit of advice.  This is from what my mother and grandmother told me and it has worked for me.  I hope my bits of advice help you, too!


Sleep when that baby sleeps!   Even if you can only sleep for 30 minutes during the day while the baby is sleeping , DO IT!  This is the best piece of advice I was given and the most valuable. Your body will thank you for those power naps.






Don't be afraid to ask questions.  Ask your mother.  Ask a friend.  We were all new mothers at one point and seeking advice from others. Dont ever think a question or concern you have seems silly. 

Always, and I mean always, wash your newborn's clothes with Dreft.  Dreft has been around for 80 years and I have always used it on my newborn's clothing and bedding.  My Mom used, Dreft, too.    

Dreft along with Sean and Katherine Lowe from The Bachelor have partnered together to share their news about their roles as expectant parents.  They recentl had a baby shower and Dreft was on the gift registry!

 

Dreft has three products;  Dreft Stage 1: Newborn; Dreft Stage 2: Active Baby and Dreft Blissfuls.  All of these products smell so good.  The Stage Two Active Baby is specifically designed with your developing baby in mind.  Once your baby has smeared green peas all over their  clothes or made a mess while playing outdoors, Dreft removes 99% of these stains.  Dreft is made to be gentle on your babies skin, but tough on stains,  And, it smells wonderful. 

I am hosting a baby shower giveaway where one of my lucky readers will win a Dreft  package worth $75.

HoMedics Shiatsu Massage Cushion Review

As a mom, I find my days full of bending and stretching and lifting. By the time the kids are in bed and the housework is done for the day, and I get a chance to sit down, my back is killing me. I just want to run away to a spa and take up residence on the massage table. Unfortunately, reality has a firm grasp on me, so that dream doesn't last long.

How I Save Money With Groupon Coupons

Everyone in my family knows I love to shop!  With Groupon Coupons, I can save money while I shop.  I can have the things I want and need for less money.  If there is a deal, I can find it.

Groupon Coupons has so many options to choose.  I have bought many local deals from them before, but I have recently discovered Groupon Coupons for my favorite stores online and in-store.

One of my favorite stores is Belk.  Right now Groupon Coupons has four coupons for Belk and one of them is for Michael Kors.  I bet that got your attention!  They have a great sale going on right now.

You can have brand name items for a lot less if you use coupons and Groupon Coupons has a lot of choices.  From H&R Block to Advance Auto Parts, you too can save money.  ALWAYS, and I mean always,  check out the Groupon Coupons before you make any purchases whether you are shopping online or in store.

Saving money on my purchases is a way of life for me.  I have been this way since I was a teen.  With Groupon Coupons, you can save money on the things you want to buy.  And, after all, who doesn't love saving money?

Billion Dollar Brows

I have a very difficult relationship with my eyebrows. Very. Difficult. One has a decent shape, but it's not very full. The other is nicely full and has a horrible shape. Don't even get me started on the random annoying hairs that grow in the wrong direction, or out of line with the rest of the brow. Ugh.

I've tried and failed at numerous brow products and had passable results with others. It's really just a crap shoot. One day I'll do a fairly good job, the next day I'll look like I let my 5-year-old do it. Heck, I might try letting my 5-year-old do it, he couldn't do a worse job than I do. even if I get the left one looking pretty good, the right one ends up looking like I didn't even try. That's more user error than product problems.

Fast, Cheap, and Easy.

When it's hot out I like to keep the cooking to a minimum to keep from heating the house up. Anything that can be cooked on a small appliance is a real winner.If it's a quick fix, doesn't cost a lot, and is easy, I'm even more on board. One of our absolute favorite fast, cheap, and easy small appliance meals is chicken quesadillas. They can be made on/in several appliance. Indoor electric grill, toaster oven, sandwich press, electric griddle, or even a waffle iron. We've also made them on a campfire and an outdoor grill, which makes them great for camping too.
