Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Diamond Edition Review

Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released on October 6, 2009 for the first time in high-definition Blu-ray format. Disney has introduced the limited edition Diamond Combo Pack that includes that includes 2 Blu-Ray discs and 1 DVD.

We do not have a Blu-Ray player, but my parents do and I will be sure to view it on their player over the holidays. Even without the Blu-Ray player the movie was incredible. It brought back so many memories while watching it again as an adult. A true classic! Snow White was such a princess and I remember wanting to be Snow White as a little girl. The color and crisp sound has truly been brought into today's technology. Not bad for a film that was first made by Walt Disney in 1937!

There are many bonus features...

* An all new music viedo (it is great!)
* High Defintion 7.1 sound
* Disneyview- expanded viewing experience
* Backstage Disney
* Karoke singing and so much more!


Do not forget to add this to your gift list or pick one up for the family. You will not be disappointed.

Thanks to One 2 One Network I was luck enough to receive my very own Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Diamond Collection in exchange of writing a review. Thank you for the opportunity!

Less Naughty. More Nice. organic Sleepy Wrap (giveaway)

{Less Naughty. More Nice. is a way for me to promote amazing products with reviews and giveaways! I am sharing ethically produced products in advance of the Christmas buying season. I have a heart for fair trade, eco-friendly and U.S. made companies. It will continue through November 11th. I am receiving no financial compensation for these promotions. However, I have received sample product in order to supply you an authentic and honest review.}

Oh Sleepy Wrap! How I count thee ways! I wrote about my first Sleepy Wrap almost a year ago when Boatboy was born. I wrapped him daily. HE LOVED IT! And so did I. I wore him to the zoo, on walks and just around the house. He truly allowed me to be hands free to still play with my 3 year old, LA.

One of my absolute favorite things about the Sleepy Wrap is how stretchy the fabric is. It is not so tight that my beautiful love handles seep over the wrap and it is not so loose that my son is going to fall out. It is truly comfy. I've tried several. And, it's my favorite!

It's sad that Boatboy is outgrowing his Sleepy Wrap, but there will be another baby/babies to fill my wrap again. Someday. Just not today. And, no, I'm not making an announcement anytime soon.

I am excited to share with you their new organic Sleepy Wrap. They come in two colors. Natural and Khaki. The new organic wrap is made with organic exchange 100% certified organic cotton. How exciting that Sleepy Wrap is making steps to go greener.

This would make an incredible Christmas gift for you or someone expecting! Be sure to check out their new Boba carrier for 1-4 year olds too. I haven't tried it, but I bet it's great!

Buy an Organic Sleepy Wrap: Natural or khaki for $59.95

I have found a very practical bracelet for my Mommy-hood days of drool craziness! My little teething monster, Boatboy, tries to put everything in his mouth. And loves all of my jewelery which, clearly, is not safe for his mouth. Now have a piece that is!

Let me introduce you to Roundhouse Design. They have made a teething bracelet EXTREMELY safe. This stylish bracelet is constructed of medical grade thermoplastic. It's non-toxic, bacteria resistant and lead free. These beauties are completely recyclable and made in the USA! Truly AMAZING and very impressive! And it gets better...they give back! Proceeds from the bracelet go to Healthy Child Healthy World, a national, non-profit organization inspired to create and protect healthy environments for children and families.
This bracelet is a great gift to yourself or an expectant friend. Not only is this an amazing teething bracelet it can also be used as a nursing reminder bracelet until your child is teething.

OH PLAH! Comes in 5 colors and retails for $19 to $24.99. Check out their amazing bracelets and baby carrier as well.

Thanks OH PLAH! We are a huge fan!

Two Tinas has all the personalized baby essentials you could ever need.

I was lucky enough to receive this amazing blanket with Boatboy's initial on it. I can't decide if I love the plushness of the fabric or the hand sewn applique or the way it washes up best. Two Tinas offers bold colored handmade blankets fashioned here in the US.

These blankets are definitely made to take anywhere. They were also just awarded the PTPA Media Seal of approval for excellence in parenting products. Each blanket is made from 100% ultra soft cotton, machine washable, and already preshrunk to 36 x 30. The initial you select is hand appliqued with washable Ultrasuede, a fabric that only gets softer every time you wash it. This amazing blanket is available in eight different two-tone color combination.

Two Tinas has figured out how to make a quality blanket that washes up fantastically! This would be a unique treat for you and your baby or a nice baby gift. Go check out all of their beautiful products. And, there are some SALE items too.

Happy Halloween ( circa 2006)



Back in the day we used to dress up the dog. As priorities mature, now Chloe just gets locked away at home while we dress up the boys. And, eat candy...on a day that is traditionally about celebrating the dark forces. What a strange weekend. Have a good one. Happy Halloween!

Less Naughty. More Nice. Kidbean: vegan children's slippers (giveaway)

{Less Naughty. More Nice. is a way for me to promote amazing products with reviews and giveaways! I am sharing ethically produced products in advance of the Christmas buying season. I have a heart for fair trade, eco-friendly and U.S. made companies. I am receiving no financial compensation for these promotions. However, I have received sample product in order to supply you an authentic and honest review. The event ends November 11.}

Let me introduce you to my experience with a vegan family superstore, Kidbean! This online store has it all. And when I say has it all I mean all vegan products, sweatshop free and eco-friendly. I get very excited and feel so passionate about companies that are truly making a difference. Wow! I just want to say thank you.

Kidbean was started 9 years ago by a very special Mom who couldn't find products she believed in. So she started Kidbean while pregnant and now 2 kids later it is going strong!

I was given two pairs of children's vegan slippers in royal/apple. We have hardwood and tile in most of our home so my boys have worn their slippers every day for two weeks now and sleep in them most nights. They love them. They are soft with faux fur on the inside and very easy to put on. I have three pairs of various brands of slippers from other companies. They either don't stay on or the boys slip all over the floor. These truly are the best slippers ever and I know where they came from. Great slippers!

Kidbean has so many products to check out. So while you are thinking of Christmas presents this company truly has a little of everything and I totally approve!

Buy a pair: The soft Sole Slippers are only $34

Win a pair: Melissa at Kidbean is giving one Blondes, Poop & Mascara reader a pair of Soft Star Shoes in either royal/apple roo or pink/ginger roo. Just leave me a comment of one other product you like and who would be wearing these new slippers!

autumn family photo shoot

We had the pleasure of being photographed by Katelin Carter of Full Pockets Photography again this weekend. You might remember our post from August from our last session. Below are a couple of our favorites from the preview on her blog.
