Comfort & Harmony mombo Nursing Pillows - Perfect for Mom and Baby

2013-05-15T20:00:00.001-05:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Comfort and Harmony for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

When choosing the right nursing pillow for you and your baby, there is a lot to consider. The mombo™ nursing pillow offers a unique shape with a two-sided design called Firm2Soft™, with each side offering a different nursing experience. The firm side provides the support essential for mommy and her nursing baby. Then the soft side is extra cozy—perfect for lounging or for tummy time. One thing that is totally unique to the mombo nursing pillow is that it is the ONLY nursing pillow with a vibration feature, giving your baby the ultimate soothing experience while relaxing with Mom.

And whatever your style is, you'll be happy with the big selection of pillow styles and slipcover fashions. First choose your style from the options of Standard, Deluxe or Nude™. Then you can select multiple slipcover designs to you can change up the look and always have an extra cover when needed.

I love how cute and bright the Hoppi Haze pattern above is. The bright colors of blue, green, yellow, and coral make it perfect for either a boy or a girl. I also like the Comfort & Harmony mombo Deluxe in Taggies Fashion Monkeys shown below. The colorful, soft, silky tags are scattered above the pillow for little hands to touch and explore.

mombo™ products are available at Toys R Us (and Babies R Us). You can visit them online or take a trip to your local store to see the big selection.

"I purchased this for my 8 year old and he says he can go so much faster because the wheels are better than his other scooter and It's nice and light. The wheels are smooth and sturdy. It came quickly and it's the classic Radio Flyer red. Love it."

Celebrate May Family Time with The Pajanimals - Reader Giveaway

2013-05-06T23:55:00.002-05:00

May is filled with family time. Not only do we celebrate Mother's Day, but it is also National Family Month and May 12-18 is Universal Family Week. National Family Month, created to the private charity KidsPeace, is a month-long celebration helps raise awareness and highlights the importance of family – kids, mothers, fathers, relatives and caregivers – and encourages supporting one another. National Family Month also provides an opportunity for families to share special time together, to develop or renew relationships, and to remind everyone about the importance of family involvement in raising healthy, confident kids.

The Jim Henson Company’s adorable PAJANIMAL characters are joining in the celebration this month with fun family activities created to encourage and support family togetherness.

In celebration of Mother’s Day on May 12, Sprout will air two family-centric Pajanimals episodes on Saturday, May 11, and Sunday, May 12. “Missing Mom and Dad:” At bedtime, Sweet Pea Sue misses Mom and Dad and wishes she could sneak into their bed where it feels so “warm and safe.” The Pajanimals travel to The Night Sky where The Moon comforts her and tells Sweet Pea Sue that her parents are very close by and will always be there (if she needs them). And the episode, “Mom is Amazing!:” Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and the Pajanimals have decided to help Mom with her chores, but they quickly realize that Mom does A LOT of chores for the family. Not sure what to do, the Pajanimals travel to the Night Sky, where The Moon tells them that just recognizing all that Mom does and offering to help her is a great gift not just for Mother’s Day, but any day.

Pajanimals are also offering a free Mother’s Day Coloring Card, which can be downloaded and printed, allowing kids to add their own personal artistic vision to the card or even a photo. (HINT, HINT DADS - Get the printer going!)

Reader Giveaway: One lucky Jinxy Kids reader will win a 15” large plush of one of the adorable, huggable and cuddly Pajanimals characters (from TOMY)--Cowbella, Apollo, Sweetpea Sue or Squacky. To enter, just complete the entry form below by 11:59pm ET on 5/21/13. Good luck!

Top Australian Animated Characters with a Koala Kid DVD Reader Giveaway

2013-04-28T13:21:00.001-05:00

G'day mate! Koala Kid is coming to DVD on April 30 starring the voice talent of Rob Schneider, Tim Curry and Alan Cumming. To celebrate, let's go down-under to explore the exciting world of Aussie animation and visit this crowd of friendly critters, both old and new. We’ve listed best of the bunch below!

The Tasmanian Devil

Often referred to as ‘Taz’, the character is the youngest of the cartoon characters from the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes series. He is a ferocious yet dim creature with an extremely short temper and boundless appetite. Distinguishing features include communicating mainly through grunts, growls and blowing raspberries. He also has the impressive ability to spin like a vortex when on the chase for a tasty morsel (Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck).

Blinky Bill

This much-loved classic Aussie children’s character is a mischievous boy in the form of a koala. He lives in the bush along with his mother and sister, a marsupial mouse named Marcia, a platypus named Flap and his teacher, Wombo. Created by Australian writer Dorothy Wall in 1933, Blinky featured in his own range of books but was bought to life with his own TV series in the 1980’s.

Felix the Cat

This black animated cat is one of the most recognizable cartoon characters of all time. Although his origins remain disputed, Felix is widely thought to have been created by the Australian cartoonist, Pat Sullivan. This was during the silent era of film, which may explain the lack of Aussie twang in this funny feline!

Dot (Dot and the Kangaroo)

When Dot gets lost in the Australian outback she is befriended by a kangaroo and several other marsupials. On eating some red berries, she discovers that she has the magical ability of being able to communicate with the animals, and with their help is able to find her way home. Since the first feature film, there have been eight others made, all based around another exciting adventure in the wild. We say that’s not bad for a character based a book written back in1899 - Dot is certainly a character who has lasted the test of time!

Rocko

The main character of Rocko’s Modern Life which aired on Nickelodeon. Rocko, a young Bush Wallaby, was raised down-under but emigrated to America in High School because of a bully named Dingo. He now lives in O-town along with an assortment of odd-ball friends including a greedy Heffer Wolfe and a hypochondriac turtle named Filbert. He has been described as having the personality of “a young wallaby Woody Allen”!

Koala Kid

Johnny is a small white koala bear who just wants to fit in and make friends. However, when a twist of fate mistakenly transforms him into a fearless protector of the animals, called Koala Kid, Johnny finds himself in over his head in a thrilling adventure across the outback. With the help of a crafty Tasmanian devil, loveable lizard and boomerang flinging female koala, Johnny must prove himself a true hero by outwitting the villainous crocodile, Bog.

Journey down under and meet a whole new breed of hero in this laugh-filled, action-packed animated adventure with an all-star voice cast, including Rob Schneider, Tim Curry and Alan Cumming. Johnny (Schneider) is a rare white koala bear who just wants to fit in and make friends. But when a twist of fate mistakenly transforms him into a fearless protector of animals, called “Koala Kid,” Johnny finds himself in over his head on a thrilling trek across the outback. With help from his hilarious new sidekicks, including a crafty Tasmanian devil, a lovable lizard and a boomerang-flinging female koala, Johnny may just outwit a villainous crocodile named Bog (Cumming) and become a true hero after all.

Koala Kid will be released on DVD exclusively at Walmart April 30, 2013.

Reader Giveaway: One lucky Jinxy Kids reader will win their own copy of Koala Kid on DVD. To enter, just complete the entry form below by 11:59pm ET on 5/13/13. Good luck!
