Squeaky Clean Tot is a website “where parents can find, rate and review safe non-toxic and organic baby and toddler products.” I really love this website, especially because it’s parents like you and me who are reviewing the products and letting each other know which ones are safe and which ones are not! I wish I would have known about this earlier because like their daughter, my daughter has eczema too and now I know what we can use to clear it up!

It all started “When our daughter, Matilda was born in June of 2008 we became very concerned about what we were putting on her little body. At 9 months, she began to develop eczema and we discovered it was the products we were using in the bath. We stopped using them and started applying shea butter to her skin every night and the eczema cleared up in no time. Then news started to break about the concerns of BPA and we started our research again. We began to switch all of Matilda’s drinking cups, utensils and plates over to BPA free products. As we were researching products for Matilda, we realized there aren’t too many places where parents can get honest advice about safe and non-toxic baby and toddler products from their peers. The idea for this website was born and since then we have added hundreds of products that we feel are safe for babies and toddlers.” (from the Squeaky Tot, All About Us page)

We have spent many hours researching these products and have found the ones that do not contain parabens, sodium laureth sulfate, phthalates, or BPA.

I really like that this website has lots of different categories to look at such as BPA free bottles, sippy cups, Cradle Cap, Lotions, Detergents etc. One of things we are dealing with right now is Teething! They recently reviewed some teething tablets that I would LOVE to try!

They recently reviewed the Take & Toss Sippy cups and love them! They are a great transition cup and are BPA free.

Reviewed recently was also the CleanWell hand sanitizer and is a great product for your purse or your home.

Right now Squeaky Clean Tot is even having a giveaway on their blog for a Nuby Mealtime Set, which includes a divided plate, bowl, spoon and sippy cup.

Things that are Bragworthy:

• Find products safe for Baby and Toddler that have been reviewed by real parents
• Lots of different Categories to choose from
• You can write your own reviews
• They have a Facebook page and Twitter account where you can follow and receive great updates!
• Suggest different products for them to purchase and review, so you can learn more about them!

“Therapon promises to provide the experience of enjoying beautiful, healthy skin for any person in only minutes per day, using an incredibly simple and science-based system to restore and maintain a younger appearance.”-Therapon

I was sent the Theraderm Skin Renewal System to try out and I absolutely love it. My skin feels so soft and I am loving that I no longer have dry skin patches on my face. The Theraderm Skin Renewal System is a 4 step process. First step: Wash your face with the Cleansing Wash, Second Step: Apply the Fruit Acid Exfoliant, Third Step: Apply the OPC Reparative Gel and Step Four: Apply the Facial Moisturizer. I know it seems like a lot of steps but it doesn’t take long at all and it makes my skin feel great. I have noticed a huge difference in the feel of my skin since I started using it. I love the Theraderm Skin Renewal System!

More about the Theraderm Skin Renewal System

• “Simple, pure, healthy, rejuvenating... if these are the qualities that you like in a skin care system, then you've found it!
• The Theraderm Skin Health Renewal System was developed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The principles of medicine, chemistry and nature are simplified in an easy to use, effective skin care system.
• Theraderm helps your skin reach its true potential for beauty ~ simply. Optimum skin health is easy to achieve when a few simple steps become part of daily habits.
• The Theraderm Skin Health Renewal System incorporates four products specially designed and formulated to assist your skin in four specific critical areas of skin health needs.”-Therapon Website

About Therapon: The Healing History

“The life’s work of a plastic surgeon is to restore full function and appearance to patients after injury or damage from disease. The skin is not simply the painted surface of the body, it is perhaps the most functional part of one's life and self esteem.
While treating severely burned patients, Dr. James S. Beckman developed a highly specialized moisturizing cream to restore mobility and softness to skin grafted hands. The skin grafted hands were healed, but wouldn't allow the bending of fingers or grasping of objects necessary for one's livelihood. In the quest for the ultimate moisturizer a new secret ingredient was discovered that greatly enhanced moisturizer penetration and also had a unique side effect of erasing fine wrinkles and restoring youthful coloration to aging facial skin.
Dr. Beckman’s vision as a plastic surgeon was to focus energy on creating a simplified system of products for patients that if used daily, would ensure skin rejuvenation. Each component of the system had to have a special role in the system, yet be a fully stand alone product.
The result was the Therapon Skin Health’s Theraderm Skin Renewal System, a maintenance system that produces phenomenal restoration of health and natural beauty to skin. Taking only minutes a day, it’s easy to incorporate into a routine. It was a natural progression to start a company to provide these products to other physicians for their patients. New advances in cellular biology have allowed Therapon Skin Health to create better solutions and preventions to an ever widening circle of skin problems.”-Therapon Website

“Kids will be kids. … That’s why we’re here. …Our student health plan helps protect kids while they are being kids.”-UnitedHealthcare

Is your child uninsured? I want to share UnitedHealthcare StudentResources Health Plans with you because they may be the answer you are looking for.

www.K12StudentInsurance.com

Key Benefits of UnitedHealthcare StudentResources:

• The health plan offers protection/coverage for injury AND sickness, 24/7/365.
• The Health Plan is available to K12 students from ages 5 - 18 (ages 4-18 in Texas)
• Designed to be affordable at $588 per policy year or $98 every two months.
• Parents can enroll their student at any point in the school year.
• UHCSR has challenged national trends by INCREASING benefits while KEEPING the premium at 2008 levels.
• UHCSR is a division of UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company dedicated to student insurance programs for over 40 years. Because UHCSR focuses on students, we have a better understanding of the unique needs of this age group.

Additional Info:

• UHCSR’s program is only available through many participating school districts and participating private schools. Nationally available through schools that belong to the Association of Christian Schools International.
• While the K12 Health Plan can provide a level of protection for uninsured children, it is also being purchased by many families who have high deductible employer coverage. If parents have to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars to meet their employer plan deductible, the K12 Health Plan can reimburse them for their children’s eligible medical expenses while they are working toward meeting their employer plan’s deductible.
• Many (Over 2000), but not all public school systems/districts throughout the US participate with UHCSR to offer this plan. From small rural school districts to the largest in the nation such as Los Angeles Unified and Miami/Dade County

I have found a Fabulous Comparative Shopping Website!

www.pebble.com

Who They Are:

“Pebble.com is a new kind of comparative shopping website. Not only do we tout some of the best products from the world's leading merchants, but we enhance that experience by providing a forum for users to ask and answer questions about those products - making it easier than ever to find exactly what you're looking for.

When you buy a product in a store, you can ask the salesperson for more details about certain features or attributes that are important to you. Online, it's nearly impossible to find that personalized service. Many website product descriptions fall short in some areas - they don't mention a feature you're looking for; they forget to list dimensions; they leave off information about compatibility. That's where Pebble.com comes in. We offer a place for users to pose those questions to other shoppers, who can then provide answers based on their first-hand knowledge of the products”. -Pebble Team

Why Do Shoppers Love Pebble.com?

“Pebble.com makes online shopping fun again by offering everything you need in one place to make the best online buying decisions without the hassle of other comparative shopping websites. We provide a place where users can ask questions about specific products and get answers that will help inform their buying decisions. So you can stop wasting time searching the internet for more product information and can spend more time actually enjoying your purchase. Plus, people who like to share their opinions and expertise can help other shoppers by answering questions and offering buying advice. Pebble.com is where you can get answers, then go shopping.” - Pebble Team

So the other day I decided I would look up Potty Chairs on Pebble.com since little bug is almost to the age where we will need to begin that fun experience of potty training. (I can hardly wait! Then again I really won’t miss changing diapers… But back to the subject at hand…) So I simply typed in Potty Chairs on the search bar at Pebble.com and Viola! It brings up a list of a ton of different potty chairs. Then when I click on one of the links for a specific chair, and it pulls up a list of all the places it is available and what the prices are. It’s so easy to see where the best price is at!! I love that it makes comparative shopping a snap.

Things that are Brag Worthy:

• Pebble.com is such a helpful site for comparative online shopping.
• You can get all of your product questions answered by other shoppers who have first hand knowledge of the products.
• The site has a crisp clean layout. It is easy to find your way around .
• Easily compare products and prices, it saves so much time!
• You can search millions of products and find the best price, and I love finding the best prices.

You just have to go check out Pebble.com! Get all your questions answered, and find the best prices. You will want to use it every time you are shopping online.
