Winner and an Explanation

Congratulations, Kristy! YOU WIN!!! Hip Hip Hoorway! I hope you enjoy your teething necklace as much as I have.

Thank you all for entering my very first giveaway! I promise it won't be the last, so keep checking back, because really, who doesnt love a freebie?

Ok, so a lot of you were skeptical about the necklace being a choking hazzard. Let me explain...

While the makers of the necklace do put a disclaimer on the product because of legal purposes, they say it is very safe for babies/toddlers. The material/string tof the necklace is actually designed to snap when it meets any resistance. Therefore, if your child gets caught on it (which I have never seen anything come close to this), it will snap.

It is impossible for the child to get off. It has a twist closure that I even have a hard time getting on and off at bath time.

I let Peyton sleep in it - that is how comfortable I feel with the necklace. Lots of my friends use them and their children sleep in them as well.

Whie I totally understand each of your concerns, I feel very safe with the teething necklace. Of course, use it as you feel comfortable.

Thank again for participating. It was hard not to post for three days!!! I promise I will be back to my picture-posting, story-telling, fab-o-blogging soon. Until then...

Hip Hip Hooray! Its my very first giveaway!

Alright, all my lovely blogging friends, the time has arrived - its time for my first giveaway.

Here is the run-down...

Peyton is seven months old, so you know what that means - teeth!!!

There is nothing more pitiful than the face of a teething infant. It breaks my heart when I look at her. I mean, how would you feel if sharp bones were trying to poke through your skin. Poor baby.




When it comes to ailments - we have tried them all. Seriously. We have done the teething tablets, the frozen chewies, vibrating toys, and quite frankly, we were exhausted. Until now...

We have found our ticket. If you notice, Peyton is sporting a beautiful amber teething necklace. Contrary to popular belief, it is more than just a fashion statement.

Here is the low down on these miracle accessories:
Amber, a fossilized resin, helps calm babies and teething toddlers. When amber is worn on the skin, the skin's warmth release minuscule amounts of healing oils from the amber which are then absorbed via the skin into the bloodstream. Amber's has anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties.

Blah, Blah, Blah...all I know, is they work. No, its not a cure-all, and she still is groggy and feverish, but she is able to sleep well, and be the cuddly, lovey baby that she is.

Don't have babies yet? Thats ok. You will be the coolest gift giver in the history of baby showers if you show up with one of these. No doubt.

So, how mean would I be, if I went on and on about this fabuloso baby item, and not give one away?? Therefore, here it is, my first giveaway - The amber teething necklace.
