Giggles Computer Funtime for Baby

My little monkey CONSTANTLY wants to play with the computer. A couple of times he's pulled out the mouse cable or pounded on the keys and accidentally turned it off while I'm working! And of course he cries every time I remove him from it. We're planning on giving the monkey his own computer but didn't think he'd be ready at only 8 months!

I entered the Giggles Computer Funtime for Baby software giveaway at Jolly Mom and decided to download the free trial version. It only allows you to play for 5 minutes at a time, but the monkey LOVES it! He especially liked the "raining cats & dogs" "game" -- he'd pound the keys and touch the screen as the cartoon cats & dogs fell! Now I only have to worry about him spitting up on my keyboard.

Hoover Platinum Cordless Stick Vac giveaway!

Our vacuum is a stinky piece of poo. It is heavy, has poor suction and literally stinks (is this universal or just us? our vacuums ALWAYS stink!! is it due to burning pet hair or what?)

I would SOOOO love to have a lightweight cordless vacuum like the one being given away at Mommy Goggles!!

Mystic Wonders

After spending a lot of time looking at the Mystic Wonders website, I'm kind of obsessed with them and their products. I want to order all of them! I'm especially intrigued by the Prill Beads and the Willard Water, and I'm really excited about the prospect of winning the complete laundry system. I've become so sensitive to the chemicals in laundry detergents I've been known to freak out when Mr. Monkey uses the wrong kind or accidentally buys a variety that's not unscented. How great to not use laundry detergent at all!!!

English Retreads giveaway

I am totally not a purse person. I love bags, but a purse really has to be just right in order for me to want to carry it. Definitely not too girly. Rugged, and cool, and interesting. Hence, I am in love with this Mini Luxe purse from English Retreads. I love recycled rubber. I even have a big bag of bicycle tires just waiting to be used for some awesome product. But I don't think I have the skills to make anythign as cool as the stuff at English Retreads.

Maybe, just maybe, I'll win it at Everything Up Close. If not, it's going on my gift wish list.

SVAN high chair giveaway

This SVAN HIGH CHAIR an incredibly good looking chair, with tons of nice features. My favorite is that it can adjust from an infant chair to an adult chair so you can keep using it forever!

Svan also has a gret-looking wooden scooter and bouncy seat.

Enter to win it at Bellaziza's Favorite Things!
