SoSmart DVD Review & Coupon Code
Posted by: | CommentsLife of a toddler is extremely busy. The fun starts the second they wake up each day, even if that happens to be 4:00 or 5:00 am. and it doesn’t stop until they are fast asleep at night. As busy as they are I bet you can multiply that by about hundred and apply it to their parents. And when you are that busy, life can move pretty fast. That is why we like to end our busy day with a little snuggle time on the couch. It’s a great way to bond with a little one over a book or a even a dvd. Some how I usually get talked in to doing both. I’m such a happy push over when it comes to snuggle time.
Thanks to the nice people at SoSmart.com we have discovered that this time together can also be educational. So far we have viewed two of their Award Winning DVDs, “Outside, Baby’s first-word stories” and “Phoose’s, Tale of Patience”. They are filled with sweet, colorful characters that teach lessons of language by introducing little ones to simple words and then building sentences and a story around them. The stories move nice and slow so babies have more time to interact by laughing or clapping. We found both dvd’s to not only be educational but very entertaining as well. We also enjoy the fun additional activities that are included in each DVD, for parents and children to do together. In fact both DVD’s have already become repeated favorites during our snuggle time.

Rain or Shine Kids, Blanket Review & Coupon Code
Posted by: | CommentsHi, this is Toni from Neptunebaby Dot Com. I have been invited by Jenn to do a guest blog post/review here on Five Dollar Shake. Thank you, Jenn, for this opportunity!
I’ve recently had the awesome pleasure to use this extraordinary 5-in-1 design blanket by Rain or Shine Kids. Being a mom with an attachment parenting style, I think this is the best invention ever! This is a water resistant blanket made of polar fleece and rip stop nylon backing. It is perfect for everything a mom could want to use it for. I have worn it as a nursing cover when out with my daughter and let me tell you – it’s far superior to any nursing cover I have purchased before. I have also attached it to our Babyhawk baby carrier recently because it’s so cold and wet here in Michigan right now. It kept my little girl nice and cozy the whole time we were out. We frequently use it as a car seat cover (as you can see in the pictures below). This weekend when I take my girls to the mall I will definitely use it with our double stroller as well as a changing pad. Another great thing about this blanket is that it is 100% machine washable. I don’t know about you, but I simply do not have the time to run a specialty blanket to the cleaners with as often as kids make messes. As you can see in the pictures, the blanket is large enough for all of the uses I have mentioned. The actual size is 29″ x 40″. There are also ribbon ties, which my daughter is happily showing you, so you can attach it to whatever you like. Could you possibly ask for anything more? This blanket is truly an all-in-one item that takes the place of buying five separate baby products. Quality product and saving money – that’s what I’m talking about!
I love this blanket… and you will too! Now is the time to pick one of these fabulous blankets for use in your own household. Rain or Shine Kids is offering a 20% discount off all their products with coupon code: SHAKE20. This code is good through February 14th. A wonderful Valentine’s day present for your little sweetheart! I’m sure you and your baby and/or toddler will love it just as much as we do.
Oh So Precious, The Precious Club
Posted by: | CommentsWhen having a baby there is one thing you can count on having a lot of, cloths. Dozens of T shirts and onsies are a real must have. The good news is that they don’t all have to be the same old boring pink, blue and yellow. The Precious Club is a great place to add some character to any toddler or babies wardrobe. They offer an irresistible line for baby fashionistas and pop culture lovers alike. Making their website a great place to find that special gift. The one that stands out at baby showers or birthday parties.
You can read more about The Precious Club here.
I was given the opportunity to review an item from The Precious Club’s adorable web shop.
It didn’t take me long to find a T shirt to fit our granddaughter personality. I knew it the second I saw it.
See for yourself;
Like most little girlie girls, our granddaughter, Becca loves cloths and shoes. She loves to play dress up. Often slinging a purse over her shoulder and waving goodbye while walking all the way in to our kitchen. Some times I think she was born already loving fashion. Shoes are always a big deal to her and if you leave yours out any where in house, they are fare game.
This is the perfect T shirt for our Becca! Her mother and myself being huge Sex & The City fans we all just love it.
When I opened the package I was impressed at the high quality and softness of the shirt. Not like others I have purchased online in the past. Also, the color and print looks just as perfect and adorable as it does online.
If you have a little one at home or are in need of just the right gift, The Precious Club is definitely a place you want to shop. Don’t miss out on their buy 3 items, get FREE shipping special. I know I wont.

Ouchies, Sample Pack Giveaway
Posted by: | CommentsIf you have children in your home then chances are you already have a box or two of band aids in your medicine cabinet. We have two daughters, one ten and one grown with a toddler of her own. All three were born with a strong will and full of energy. So band aids are a must have around here. They have covered more scraped knees and boo boos then I can count. Thanks to the very smart minds who created Ouchies, scraps and boo boo’s no longer have to be covered by those plain old tan bandages. Ouchies are super stylish, fun and still provide the same protection of any name brand band aid. Ouchies come in a variety of styles to fit your children. 4Boyz, 4Girlz, Mr. Men & Little Miss. Ouchies even offers a box of Make UR Own, blank bandages complete with markers for the creative child. In fact Ouchies are so cool and stylish that my ten year old daughter asked to wear one from the 4Girls collection this morning just for fun. Visit Ouchies Online for more information on where to buy a box of Ouchies for your medicine cabinet.
You can also win Ochies here on my blog! The nice people at Ouchies would like to send one of my readers an Ouchie sample pack !
