The Story of The Mother Mirror
A baby girl is born and she soon knows her mother's
love by her smile, her voice and her touch. The baby
girl grows to love and admire her mother. She
wears her mother's shoes and jewelry and carries
her own purse filled with important things. The little
girl depends on her mother for her love, care and
guidance. The years go by and the young daughter
grows. She begins to see more of the world and
sometimes the mother and daughter disagree. They
both experience the growing pains of holding on
and letting go. But anchored in a lifetime of love the
relationship blooms and changes. Until one day, it is
two women who enjoy each other, talk openly and
respect and admire each other. On one memorable
day, the daughter gives her mother a gift. A
beautiful mirror is given along with a letter -a
heartfelt reflection on life and love. Dear Mom,
When you look in this mirror,
see what I see- Your LOVE.
When I look at you I can see the love
in your eyes, I can hear it in your
voice and feel it in your smile.
It is the same love you have given
me since the day I was born. As I
reflect back on my life, I better
understand the depth of a mother's
love and how it guided you and me.
I want you to know that your love is
returned and I am blessed and
honored to always call you MOM
All my love-

Madi Couture - Review and Giveaway-from My Moms View
http://mymomsview.com/index.php/2009/02/madi-couture-review-and-giveaway/
Madi Couture is a posh online store that features only the best mom and baby gear. Mandy Klimpke a mom from Alberta owns this store and finds the most popular and stylish items to bring to her shop. She takes great pride in ensuring her customers are happy with their products and that they arrive promptly and beautifully of course.
Mandy sent me the GiGi Blanki to review. This product is made in the States, but is very popular and thanks to Madi Couture is now available in Canada - Only at her store. So Canadians if you are going to buy the Gigi and I suggest you do - buy it from Madi Couture.
I can see why the Gigi is so popular. Upon receiving my Gigi Blanki, I knew it had to be something special just by the packaging. It was all wrapped up pretty in a little ribbon. This cute little blanki has become my favourite. I absolutely love it. It is the softest, and most beautiful little blanket your baby will have. This Blanki is definitely luxurious.
Although the Blanki it is a little small at only 19′ x 16′ it is the perfect size for little baby hands to grab onto and bring around with them. If you want something a little bigger there is the Strollie which is much bigger at 30″ x 35″. I love the little size, it’s just perfect to bring around all over the house and out in public without it being too cumbersome and having it drag all over the ground. My little girl can even carry it around with her cause it’s so light, so wherever she is, the Gigi is not far away.
This blanket is the softest thing your hands will touch. The front is a beautiful pattern that is very soft velour, and the back is a pink (or blue) satin. There is also a nice big logo on the Blankie that says Gigi! How cute is that? I can see my little girl run her hands over the front and then the back, then try to put it in her mouth. I really like to watch her explore and I know this feels good on her little hands. I like to rub it on her little face, and mine too, it just feels so good and comforting.
I was so sad one afternoon after my little girl threw up her sweet potatoes all over the blanket. I thought for sure there would be a great big orange stain left on the blanket. I was disappointed because the Blanki just looks so crisp and clean. I had tried to wash out her sweet potatoes from some of her bibs with on luck, but sure enough, the Gigi came out totally clean. There was not even a little tiny hint of sweet potatoes left on the Blankie. The valour must be high quality for the stain totally come out.
Last week I brought the Gigi Blanki with me while out on a day trip, a day later I noticed I no longer had my Gigi. My heart sank, I thought I had lost it. I searched my house inside and out. I was very disappointed in myself that I had lost the Gigi. I told myself that if I was unable to find it, I would splurge and buy another from Madi Couture. It’s not often that I would splurge on any items (and I do find the Gigi is a little pricy), but I really felt that the Gigi was something that I wanted my daughter to have. Luckily I found it, but Mandy, if I ever do lose it, please know that I will be purchasing another one.
Both my Mother and Husband even like the Gigi. My mom will always ask, “Where’s the Gigi”, while rocking her, so she can rub the soft material on her face and hands. We refer to it in our house as “The Gigi”. Do you have a blanket in your house that has a name? If you get this, you too, will call it “The Gigi”.
If you are a Mom (or Dad) that feels like you are in a bit of a rut, and need something to lift your spirits, Madi Couture will have have a little something for you. For me, this is the Gigi. I’m not sure why - because I am not a materialistic person, but the Gigi really makes me feel good about myself. It is something I am very proud to own for my daughter, I feel very attached to it.
To buy the Gigi Blanki, please visit Madi Couture. You can also buy the Gigi Blankie, Strolli and Toothie together in a package. They all match!
Mandy is very personable, will answer emails very quickly and she will get to know you a bit as well. I feel like I have made a friend in Mandy while working with her. Please stay tuned for more from Madi Couture in the future. Thanks Mandy!

Jumpin’ for Joobles

Jumpin’ for Joobles 
Kids love stuffed animals. I can honestly say I don’t quite understand the draw of a gazillion stuffed animals, but both of my girls like them and covet them whenever we go shopping. So, when I do on occasion feed the addiction to stuffed animals my girls have, I like to find animals that are different and out of the ordinary; stuffed animals that aren’t made from a cookie cutter mold. So, while browsing through products made using fair trade practices (i.e. paying workers a fair wage not just a minimum) I ran across Joobles, stuffed animals made by Fair Indigo.

Kids love stuffed animals. I can honestly say I don’t quite understand the draw of a gazillion stuffed animals, but both of my girls like them and covet them whenever we go shopping. So, when I do on occasion feed the addiction to stuffed animals my girls have, I like to find animals that are different and out of the ordinary; stuffed animals that aren’t made from a cookie cutter mold. So, while browsing through products made using fair trade practices (i.e. paying workers a fair wage not just a minimum) I ran across Joobles, stuffed animals made by Fair Indigo.
Joobles are brightly colored and fun looking stuffed animals made out of organic cotton and eco-friendly dyes. So, not only do they support fair trade they are also environmentally and safety conscious. Cool. I had the opportunity to review Mooey the Cow…and he isn’t your average cow! Instead of the rather boring and staid black and white colors, Mooey is yellow with fuchsia splotches, and has aqua arms, legs, tail and horns. He (yes I am calling Mooey a boy, with three girls in the house my husband needs some reinforcements) is made out of a knitted material instead of the more usual fur type material, and is super huggable and soft. When I introduced him to Ellie she immediately grabbed him and started hugging him; always a sign that she likes something. She then tried to teach Eve how to rock him and sing “rock-a-bye” but abandoned that effort when Eve started to chew on him.
I think that this is one of my favorite stuffed animals that the girls have; he is super soft, the colors are great and he is just different than all the others I have seen. Fair Indigo also makes different kind of animals, my other favorites are Jiffy the giraffe, Icy the penguin, and Pip the dog. And for those of you who are looking for a great gift how about giving the cool kid in your life a Joobles with sweater that matches? It might sounds a little corny, but it actually looks really cute.
Now your child can be the proud owner of a Mooey the Cow. To Enter: Go to Fair Indigo and look around, then come back here and tell me what you learned about fair trade…not hard at all! Ends March 2nd @ 8.00 PM EST
