<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Yes, Mr. Nezzer is back! As the owner of the Nezzer Toy Factory, his TV commercials have convinced all of Dinkletown that &#8220;Christmas is when you get stuff!&#8221;  With  the children of Dinkletown whining and begging for more toys, it&#8217;s sure to be the worst Christmas ever &#8230; until one brave little Buzz-Saw Louie doll decides to take matters into his own hands! But how can Louie find the true meaning of Christmas when he can barely find his way out of the toy factory? And what if Mr. Nezzer finds him first?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Filled with humor, catchy songs, and groundbreaking computer animation, <em>The Toy That Saved Christmas</em> teaches children of all ages that &#8220;Christmas isn&#8217;t about getting, it&#8217;s about giving. And it&#8217;s especially  about a little baby named Jesus, who was the greatest gift  of all!&#8221; Includes the special bonus feature: &#8220;Oh, Santa!&#8221;</span></strong></p>
<p>You can purchase this DVD at <a href="http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?event=AFF&amp;p=1149611&amp;item_no=519734"><strong>Christian Book</strong></a> for <span style="color: #ff0000;">$8.97</span>!</p>

Everyone know that if you live in north the during the winter, your best bet is to take up some sort of crafting hobby to keep sane . I live in  Oregon where you see  endless amounts of rain on end.</p>
<p>I decided  this winter to take up knitting. I went and bought a book at my local craft store in hopes to begin soon.  Knitting right now is foreign to me and let&#8217;s just say I don&#8217;t think I can knit anything useful enough quite yet. I&#8217;m confused with needle sizes, yarn ounces, and all the knitting terms!  I really wanted to knit my daughter cute little outfits and hats but decided until I can master this skill, my best bet is to leave this task to the good people over at<a href="http://customknitsforbaby.com/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=4_32"><strong> Custom Knits for Bab</strong></a>y.</p>
<p>I was blown away at the fine selection of knitted attire found at <a href="http://customknitsforbaby.com/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=4_32"><strong> Custom Knits for Baby</strong></a>. I found adorable scarves, gloves, hats, cardigans, sweaters, and many other products available in all sorts of styles and colors! Note that many items range in sizes from preemie to size 12 in childrens. All products are made 100% in the USA!</p>
<p>My daughter and I were given the opportunity to review a <a href="http://customknitsforbaby.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=4_32&amp;products_id=200&amp;zenid=8be8f5142f32d4cd0035d54c5b4959a3"><strong>Personalized Heart Hat and Scarf Set</strong></a>! We choose to go with this particular set in red with white colored hearts and font.This set will keep my daughter nice and warm all winter long! I can&#8217;t help but think what darling Christmas photos we&#8217;ll be taking in these!  We love the results of our scarf and hat set and thank <a href="http://customknitsforbaby.com/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=4_32"><strong>Custom Knits for Baby</strong></a> for such great quality and service !</p>
<p>If you are looking for a custom made gift that would be ever so personal and special this holiday season, I encourage you to check this company out.  With every purchase, gift wrapping is free! Your gift will be beautifully wrapped in gender appropriate paper and bow, and a free occasion appropriate gift card with your personalized message.</p>

Not that she can&#8217;t, but she would rather use her hands because it makes eating a lot quicker. So many times, she would bring her spoon or fork to her mouth only to have her food fall into her lap, totally breaking my heart. I eagerly want to help her out but no, she must do it herself!</p>
<p>I was recently asked to share my thoughts on<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.tinytongs.com"><strong>Tiny Tongs</strong></a> and they are what I would like to call a mom must have!  Tiny Tongs are the perfect size for children to grasp, helping to promote eating with a utensil instead of using their hands. The non-slip grip is perfect for holding. And these are dishwasher safe for those of us with not enough time on our hands!</p>
<p>My daughter took to her set of Tiny Tongs right away! She had no trouble at all learning how to use these either. I know she is pretty proud of herself when using these because she would hold them up in the air and smile and then continue on eating using them.</p>
<p>Overall, Tiny Tongs are easy to use, non-toxic<span style="color: #888888;"> (Lead Free, BPA Free, Phthalate Free)</span>, dishwasher safe, and the non slip grip is perfect to keep these in your child&#8217;s hand comfortably! These are fantastic to have for children ages 1-5 years old. Can you imagine how helpful these would be when your child is attempting to eat spaghetti noodles?</p>
<p>Tiny Tongs are available in four fun colors and retail for $7.99. You can learn more as well as view videos of children using Tiny Tongs by visiting <a href="http://www.tinytongs.com">www.tinytongs.com</a></p>

<p><a href="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/100_3031.JPG"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-6935" title="100_3031" src="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/100_3031.JPG" alt="100_3031" width="216" height="288" /></a>Tea Sets offers children their own special way to partake in a commonly grown up affair. What fun it is for a child to dress up in overly big shoes, scarves, fancy hats, and fun dresses which commonly are seen at these special events!  Tea Sets are also an excellent way to begin teaching your children proper manners, etiquette, and a great way to encourage the use of your child&#8217;s imagination.</p>
<p>My search for the perfect eco-friendly tea set for my daughter was over shortly after I came across one at Green Toys. All of their toys are made from recycled plastic right here in the USA! I love the fact that this company is doing every thing they can to save energy by focusing on transportation cost even when it comes down to packaging!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Thanks to <strong><a href="http://www.greentoys.com/index.html">Green Toys</a></strong>,  I was given the opportunity to share with my  daughter her very first tea set! The tea set I was given to review is pink, blue, and yellow in color. The set includes 17 pieces with the teapot and lid, sugar bowl with a lid, a creamer container, 4 cups and saucers, and 4 spoons.  The fantastic thing about the set is that it  is made from recycled milk cartons, and is phthalate and BPA free. This set it dishwasher safe so if you are making real tea instead of the special &#8220;imaginary&#8221; kind, clean up is pretty easy.</p>
<p>The moment I gave my daughter this tea set, made me come to realize that this moment certainly marks a special time in our lives. My little girl is growing up so fast and into quite the little lady!  I smile when I think of   the memories that we will share in years to come when using this completely durable and adorable set from Green Toys.<br />
<strong><br />
<a href="http://www.greentoys.com/index.html">Green Toys</a> </strong> offers many other wonderful products as well that are all durable, educational, engaging, interactive, and lots of fun!</p>
<p><strong>Buy it</strong>: Whether your little girl is hosting a party with her friends, her dollies, or family members, she&#8217;ll be wanting to do her best to please those around her with the perfect tea set.  You can purchase this tea set from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Green-Toys-Tea-Set/dp/B001543YEY">Amazon</a> for just 16.00 dollars! What wonderful gift this would be to find under your tree this holiday season!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I was thrilled when my friend Lindsey from a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kindred Sprit&#8217;s Thoughts</span>, asked if I would review her parents Etsy shop &#8220;<strong>J Winterbower Glass Art&#8221;. </strong>Located not to far from me in Lebanon, Oregon Artist Jan and Joe Winterbower displaying the fine arts of the Pacific Northwest at it&#8217;s best.<strong> </strong>If you scoot on over to their shop you&#8217;ll find an array of handcrafted masterpieces such as glass beads, pendants, paper weights, lamp work marbles, and many more items. Once you see the beauty of their work, you&#8217;ll find it hard to believe that they&#8217;ve only been at it for just four years!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s really difficult for me to choose a favorite item in their store but if I would have to choose, I would definitely go with their marbles and paperweights. These pieces, come in the following styles: vortex, galaxy, floral, as well as team marbles! If you don&#8217;t see something you like, I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;d be more than happy to fulfill a custom request.</p>
<p>I was sent a stunning rainbow vortex marble to review and I must say that  the photos surely don&#8217;t do  it justice. I entirely could get lost looking into it.  This marble is now sitting atop of a shelf in my dining area. What a conversation piece it will be and what beautiful heirloom  to pass down to my children.</p>
<p><strong>A Few Words From the Artist&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.Why did you decide to start doing this on Etsy and how long have you been?</strong><a href="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/il_430xN.98914295.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-7637 alignright" title="il_430xN.98914295" src="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/il_430xN.98914295.jpg" alt="il_430xN.98914295" width="231" height="274" /></a><br />
I love the idea of Etsy, all things handmade, by folks like myself that have a passion for their craft! We&#8217;ve had a shop since 2007, but just recently have been really putting our foot to the grindstone. My wife does all the computer work. That&#8217;s the real work.</p>
<p><strong>2. What do you enjoy the most when creating your products?</strong><br />
My wife and I both race to the kiln in the mornings to see what God has inspired us to create. That&#8217;s a lot of fun, then we can talk about it over our coffee together.</p>
<p><strong>3. Apart from creating things, what do you do?</strong><br />
I love to read biographies, but mostly spend time with my beautiful bride.</p>
<p><strong>4. What inspires you?</strong><br />
I always look to God&#8217;s creation for colors and textures. Inspiration is everywhere I look.</p>
<p><strong>5.In five years you&#8217;d like to be&#8230;?</strong><br />
I&#8217;d love to be able to know the properties of glass so well that I could make just about anything my mind could conceive. That will take a lifetime. I&#8217;d also like to share what I know with others that want to learn.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Lost-Mission.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7099" title="Lost Mission" src="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Lost-Mission.jpg" alt="Lost Mission" width="216" height="320" /></a>About LOST MISSION:</strong></p>
<p>What haunting legacy awaits deep beneath the barrios and wealthy enclaves of Southern California?</p>
<p>An idyllic Spanish mission collapses in the eighteenth century atop the supernatural evidence of a shocking crime. Twelve generations later the ground is opened up, the forgotten ruins are disturbed, and rich and poor alike confront the onslaught of resurging hell on earth. Caught up in the catastrophe are&#8230;</p>
<p>· A humble shopkeeper compelled to leave her tiny village deep in Mexico to preach in America<br />
· A minister wracked with guilt for loving the wrong woman<br />
· An unimaginably wealthy man, blinded to the consequences of his grand plans<br />
· A devoted father and husband driven to a horrible discovery that changes everything</p>
<p>Will the evil that destroyed the Misión de Santa Dolores rise to overwhelm them? Or will they beat back the terrible desires that led to the mission&#8217;s good Franciscan founder&#8217;s standing in the midst of flames ignited by his enemies and friends alike more than two centuries ago?</p>
<p>From the high Sierra Madre mountains to the harsh Sonoran desert, from the privileged world of millionaire moguls to the impoverished immigrants who serve them, Athol Dickson once again weaves a gripping story of suspense that spans centuries and cultures to explore the abiding possibility of miracles.</p>
<p><strong>About Athol:</strong></p>
<p>Athol Dickson is an award-winning author of several novels. His Christy Award-winning novel River Rising was name one of the &#8220;Top Ten Christian Novel of 2006&#8243; by Booklist magazine. He lives in California with his wife.</p>
<p>Dickson&#8217;s They Shall See God was a Christy Award finalist. River Rising was selected as one of the Booklist Top Ten Christian Novels of 2006 and was a Christianity Today&#8217;s Best Novel of 2006 finalist. Both River Risingand The Cure won Christy Awards for best suspense novel.</p>
<p>His latest novel, Winter Haven was a finalist for the 2009 Christy Award in the suspense category, making four novels in a row to receive that honor.<br />
<strong><br />
My Thoughts&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve not read any book before by Athol so this read was a little hard for me to grasp. Not my typical read and definitely in  a different writing style like no other book I&#8217;ve read. I did have to go back and read a few chapters over because I got a little lost as the story is full of such depth and jumps from past to future. Other than those thoughts on the matter. I felt like the author did a superb job in captivating his readers in his mysterious tale. The characters felt real and it was a lot of fun trying to figure out who was good, bad, and the in-between. I would suggest Lost Mission to book groups who enjoy discussing stories with a lot of meat. There&#8217;s even a section in the back full of discussions questions.<br />
<strong>Some Things You Can Check Out&#8230;.<br />

<a href="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Busytown3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7759" title="Busytown3" src="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Busytown3.jpg" alt="Busytown3" width="245" height="317" /></a>Richard Scary&#8217;s wonderful stories have been a part of my life for as long as I can recall. It&#8217;s was no surprise to me when  I learned that Richard Scarry’s books have sold over 150 million copies and have been translated into 30 languages over the last 40 years! I remember my mom reading me several  stories of Huckle the Cat, Lowly the worm, Mr. Fixit, and stories featuring many from the  other fun characters all that can be found in the imaginatively enchanting world of Busy Town. I&#8217;d like to point out that not only myself but my younger siblings also had the chance of not only enjoying the books but also the Busy Town TV show that used to air on Nick Jr. many years ago.</p>
<p>Thanks to the One2One Network, I just learned about a new show based off Richard Scary&#8217;s stories called &#8220;Busytown Mysteries&#8221;! Thanks to Cookie Jar Entertainment Busytown Mysteries can now be seen locally  on CBS each Saturday morning! You have no idea how thrilled I am about being able to share these true classic stories with my own children and without having to pay gobs of money to view them on some network channel  is an added plus! You can check and see when this show comes on by visiting the following link <a href="http://bit.ly/busytownsched">http://bit.ly/busytownsched</a>.</p>
<p>I was sent a DVD episode of Busytown Mysteries to review thank to One2One Network in order to spread the word! Each episode is about 24 minutes and features two  unrelated stories  that focus on introducing children to deductive reasoning skills. Who? What? When? Where? Why?</p>
<p>I know most children will fall in love with the many different characters and be quite engaged with the well thought out story lines! With titles like &#8220;The Falling Fruit Mystery&#8221; and the &#8220;The Dragon Hunters&#8221; children are bound to be in for some great adventurous! But the adventure doesn&#8217;t have to stop there, your children can enjoy the fun interactive website of <a href="http://bit.ly/busytownsite"><strong>BusytownMysteries.com</strong></a> any day of the week!</p>
<p>My daughter and I were having a lot of fun browsing through the interactive world of Busy Town just this morning! My daughter is adding so many new words to her vocabulary so we really enjoyed talking with many of the Busy Town friends. Other fun things you can find  there include 14 games and activities designed for preschoolers, including interactive games, a Fan Club and “My First Email,” which lets little ones email their progress to pre-approved friends and family addresses.</p>
<p>I highly recommend introducing the children in your life to the new Busy Town Mysteries show as well an encouraging them visit the website where they will find so many enjoyable things to do, it&#8217;s always a plus when we can find great family friendly stories and character that can make learning so much more fun!</p>

In which doing so, makes their fantastic clothing line great for the young and the young at heart!</p>
<p>I was given the opportunity to review a t-shirt set from Myah &amp;  Me and I choose the &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mommy&#8217;s World Set</span>&#8221; from the <a href="http://www.myahandme.com/index.php?cPath=16">Mommy and Me </a>line. These great kelly green 100% cotton tees proudly proclaim our loving bond printed with text in a childish looking white colored font. These shirts feel great and have had no sign of wear, tear, or bleeding in the wash.  I think that this general set would also be great for mother and son too!</p>
<p>Not limited in size, the shirt my daughter is wearing ranges from size 3 months all the way up to a 10-12 size.  My shirt runs in size small through XL. At Myah and Me, there is something for everyone with fun shirts sets  like I Got It From My Mommy to the Bear Family matching set! Grandma and Grandpa feeling left out?&#8230; no worries, they offer Grandma&#8217;s are Forever &amp; Grandpa&#8217;s are For Always shirts too!<br />

<p>I recall when my daughter was much younger and she would spit up on me all the time. Trust me, I don&#8217;t miss the days when that happened. This matter was very inconvenient when out in public. Thankfully most days I kept my daughter&#8217;s burp cloth close at hand but once I cleaned up her mess I was in another inconvenient spot. I found myself having to throw my daughter&#8217;s spit covered cloth into her clean diaper bag, which to even this day I cringe to think of the mess it sometimes made.</p>
<p>Nancy and Colin parents of two, saw the problem dirty cloths made as well in their bags and decided to do something about it by creating the &#8220;Puke Purse&#8221;.</p>
<p>How the Puke Purse works, is you simply wipe up babies mess, turn the purse inside out to contain the mess, and close the two ends together with the added Velcro! It&#8217;s so very simple! Once you return home you can easily throw the 100% cotton flannelette purse into the wash to ready it for your next use!  I know mine is going to really come in handy when my next child arrives!</p>
<p><a href="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/hh-green-duckies_1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-7047 alignleft" title="hh green duckies_1" src="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/hh-green-duckies_1.jpg" alt="hh green duckies_1" width="230" height="172" /></a>I was also sent a set of Handie Hankies to try out. The soft Hankies are such a great alternative to tissues! They are soft, reuseable, and come in lots of cute patterns which adults and kids alike will enjoy! My daughter personally really likes the ducks found on the sample we were set. She&#8217;s goes quack and will actually let me wipe her nose and those with toddler know how hard that can be to do.</p>
<p>Ready Go  Baby offers many other unique  high quality products such as baby hooded bath towels and nursing pads ( which I will totally have to purchase in the future)!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to keep up on the latest news about Ready Go Baby, you can follow them on <a href="http://twitter.com/ReadyGoBaby">Twitter</a> as well as keep up with the lastest news from them on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/ready-go-baby/133113362343">Facebook</a>!</p>
<p><strong>Win  it: </strong>Ready Go Baby would like to giveaway a <span>Puke</span> Purse, Handie Hankie set, and a pair of Bamboobs bamboo nursing pads! ( These would make a great baby shower gift!)</p>

It wasn&#8217;t long before I realized that this was the perfect time to introduce her into helping me out in the kitchen. It&#8217;s been my dream to teach my daughter the very joys of baking, a fun task that reaps a very tasty reward.</p>
<p>Other fantastic benefits of cooking include  the opportunity to teach new skills, to promote self confidence, to encourage imagination and creativity, the opportunity for bonding, and so many more wonderful possibilities!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.curiouschef.com/"><strong>Curious Chef®</strong></a> is company that I came across when searching for cookware for kids!  They understood that regular sized spatulas, measuring spoons and other cooking ware can be hard for kids to handle and thus created a fantastic amount of kid-friendly utensils made specially for small hands!</p>
<p>I was given the opportunity to review their <a href="http://www.curiouschef.com/catalog/17"><strong>26 Pc Holiday Cookie Kit</strong></a> with my daughter. This kit is one of their larger sets that contains:  A Set of 4 Party Hats, 4 Aprons, 6 Piece Measuring Cup Set, 6 Piece Measuring Spoon Set, Non Stick Rolling Pin, Nylon Cookie Turner, and four holiday themed cookie cutters ( gingerbread man, an angel, a star, and a Christmas tree).</p>
<p><a href="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/100_3429.JPG"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7257" title="100_3429" src="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/100_3429-225x300.jpg" alt="100_3429" width="225" height="300" /></a>The colors incorporated into the set I was sent are very eye-catching with many vibrant tones that children will love. My daughter was extremely excited when I pulled a chair over to the table to ready her for a new fun experience in helping mommy out! I first put on her apron to keep her clothes clean and then I asked my daughter to place her hat on. The hats are a lot of fun for kids as you can add your child&#8217;s name or you can have your child write it him or herself, as well as color it with crayons.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.curiouschef.com/catalog/17"><strong>The 26 Pc Holiday Cookie Kit</strong></a> had absolutely everything you needed to make cookies except for the cookie dough itself. If you need a recipe, they  feature a simple to follow Sugar Cookie recipe on the side of the kit itself. We choose instead to make Gingerbread cookies this time. Next time we will try out the sugar cookie recipes since we just purchased a lot of fantastic colored sugar sprinkles and other fun cookie decorations for this holiday season!</p>
<p>My daughter and I had a fantastic time bonding and I really enjoyed teaching her new skills in the kitchen. She was taking everything in like a little sponge. Melody had a lot of fun and was very careful in making sure she did every thing as I fashioned. She&#8217;s so smart!</p>
<p>As well as all the individual utensils you can find at  Curious Chef, they also offer three different types of sets:</p>
<ul>
<li>Build a Kitchen Kit, Sets for children&#8217;s growing skills</li>
<li>Party Event kit, for coordinated fun and learning.</li>
<li>Gift Kits, for  that meaningful event.</li>
</ul>
<p>I thank Curious Chef for making such fantastic kitchen supplies for children. We will be using this kit for several years to come and we look forward to purchasing more fun supplies from their collection! 5 stars *****</p>

All designs are unique as they are created by numerous independent artist! You&#8217;ll find yourself  delighted in browsing through images featuring dragons, bumble bees, and many more off beat, fantastic, and edgy (all in good manner) designs filled with many colors.</p>
<p>I was given the opportunity to review the <a href="http://www.fiercehugs.com/?q=products/confused-cloud-tee"><strong>Confused Cloud</strong></a> baby tee for my daughter. My shirt arrived to me in the cutest looking eco-friendly gift box! I love the fact that this company thought of how nice and presentable it would be to offer their products in such neat earth friendly packaging.</p>
<p>The Confused Cloud tee is so cute with it&#8217;s whimsical design and sky blue trim that adds such pizazz and style.  This shirt as with all the others available at Fierce Hugs is incredibly soft being made from only the best 100% organic cotton.</p>
<p>My daughter loves her new shirt from Fierce Hugs and I do too! I only hope Fierce Hugs thinks about expanding to make larger kid sizes and maybe they&#8217;ll even think about making these great designs available on adult tees too!</p>
<p><strong>Buy It&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>You can purchase body suits and tees in sizes 0-3 to 18-24 months for prices of $24 each. <strong><a href="http://www.fiercehugs.com/"><strong>Fierce Hugs</strong></a></strong> offers other great gift products such as totes and gift sets which include a tote and three shirts or onesies for $84.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.roundhousedc.com/ohplah_teething_bracelet.html" target="_blank">Oh Plah!</a></strong> (<em>which is translated from the french term &#8220;Here You Go&#8221;</em>) offers a wonderful selection of bracelets to keep moms stylish and teething babies happy.</p>
<p>I was given the opportunity to review one of their latest bracelet designs that haven&#8217;t been marketed to the general public yet, so I feel quite honored  in sharing my thoughts on it.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></p>
<p>The bracelet I was sent is pearlescent white  in color and there is an image of a windpump on it which symbolizes &#8221; energy&#8221;. It&#8217;s chunky style and shape is eye catching. There&#8217;s even a handy oval hole on the backside of the bracelet which makes for easy handling for babies. This bracelet does occupy my daughter quite a bit whether she be trying to wear it or if she is easing the pain of growing teeth.  <a href="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/stylishmom.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-7018 alignright" title="stylishmom" src="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/stylishmom.png" alt="stylishmom" width="268" height="163" /></a></p>
<p>I love the material the Oh Plah! bracelets are made from as they are constructed of &#8220;medical grade thermoplastic&#8221; that is non-toxic and resistant to bacteria. It&#8217;s also lead, latex, PVC, BPA and phthalates free. Soap and water easy cleans these bracelets if dirty but are not advised to put them in your dishwasher.</p>
<p>Going Green? Oh Plah! gives you the opportunity to have your bracelet recycled free of charge. They offer to pay the shipping to have the bracelet returned and kindly do the earth a favor by turning it into a new product!</p>
<p><a href="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/100_3088.JPG"><img class="size-full wp-image-6940 alignleft" title="100_3088" src="http://connected2christ.com/theblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/100_3088.JPG" alt="100_3088" width="173" height="128" /></a>Oh Plah! bracelets are currently available in colors of clover green,  hot pink, pearlescent white, peacock blue, pewter, and I am sure they&#8217;ll be adding more colors soon. The designs that can be found on each bracelet include a wind pump, a daisy, and  a flock of birds.</p>
<p><strong>Buy It:</strong> <span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><a href="http://www.roundhousedc.com/ohplah_teething_bracelet.html" target="_blank">Oh Plah! </a> bracelets are $19.99 and the special edition Energy bracelet is $24.99. These would make wonderful baby shower gifts as well as the perfect new fashion accessory for moms and babies alike during the approaching  holiday season!</p>

<p>I probably have way more shampoo, lotions, and soaps than I need crammed on the rack in my bathroom. I have quite a bit because sometimes my skin has a negative effect to a product that I wasn&#8217;t able to try before I bought it. I want to smell nice but I don&#8217;t want my skin to get all dried out or have my skin break out. <strong><br />
</strong><br />
Since my skin issues to other products, I&#8217;ve discovered the benefits of organic products like the ones offered at<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/organic_skin_care_products.htm#Soaps%20scented"><strong>Tropical Traditions</strong></a>. What&#8217;s so special? Well, many of products like their soaps are made from non-refined, fresh, organic coconuts from the Philippines and no chemical solvents are used in processing.</p>
<p>I was sent Tropical Traditions Coconut soap in Lavender to try out. I found that the soap smell wasn&#8217;t overpowering and that it lathered nicely. I&#8217;ve been amazed at the results of my skin after using this soap, even my husband likes using it! It&#8217;s hard to believe a product that has left my skin feeling so fresh and smelling so delightful only consist of two ingredients!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m hoping to eventually get my hands on the only other scent available  Tea Tree. These round 3.4 oz soaps normally cost $6.95 a piece but right now are on sell for 5.50 each! Check them out for yourself at <em><strong><a href="http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/">Tropical Traditions</a>. </strong></em></p>
<p><em><br />
