December 15, 2011 By Leave a Comment

 

Look at this ridiculous dog.

We’re crazy about our creatures at Casa Goldberg.  It’s no wonder then, that I/we fell in love with LuckyPuppyOnline.com.

Nothing but Cute is right – check out my daughter modeling her shirt that Lucky Puppy sent us to review.

The great thing about Lucky Puppy, aside from the fact that they make cute clothes, is that they contribute some of their earnings toward helping dogs in need.

Currently, Lucky Puppy is proud to be partnering with The Grey Muzzle Organization. Grey Muzzle is dedicated to helping homeless senior dogs. Their goal is to enable animal welfare organizations to improve their ability to provide care, comfort, and loving homes for older dogs. In the past, the brand has partnered with Animal Haven, Much Love Animal Rescue and Paws and Learn Humane Education Center.

Thanks to Lucky Puppy, one of our winners will get to pick out one of these shirts for their own little cutie pie! (Sizes 3-6 mos. – 4T, please note that not all size/color combos may in stock.)

To enter to win, please leave a comment below about which shirt you’d like to win and why.

For extra entries, please “like” Lucky Puppy’s Facebook page and then come back here and leave a message that you liked them.  Also, please follow them on Twitter for one extra entry.  (Again, after you do that, come back here and let us know that you did that, too.)

Last, but not least, tweet this message:  I entered the @MBMomBlogger @LuckyPuppy giveaway.  You should too:  http://wp.me/p1rGlf-zU.  Please leave another comment here that you did that, too.

Holiday Gift Guide: Flap Happy & Kai Bean Kids/Discount Code & Giveaway

December 13, 2011 By 18 Comments

 

My holiday gift guide wouldn’t be complete without featuring two of my new favorite children’s clothing lines: Flap Happy & Kai Bean Kids.

Flap Happy is a Southern California based company.  According to their website, “Flap Happy hats and fashion are available in non-chemically-treated UPF50+ fabrics, so they offer worry-free sun protection for even the smallest fashionista.”   Flap Happy hats make great gifts!  We were sent a hat and an outfit for my daughter Ryann to test out – she loved it!  The styles are fun, comfy and sun-safe.  What more could a mom in SoCal ask for?

Kai Bean Kids is a clothing line also made entirely in SoCal.  Kai Bean is a fashion forward line which combines the latest trends in contemporary menswear with a laid back California lifestyle.

Comprised of the softest garment dyed cottons including French Terry, Thermal Waffle Knit and Combed, Ringspun Jersey, as well as silky soft rayon, the collection is available in sizes 6/12 month – 12 years.

My son was sent this shirt to try out:

I love it! (And so does he!)  I call it his “man-shirt.”  It’s soft and cozy and yet stylish.

Kai Bean Kids & Flap Happy have kindly offered a special discount on their clothing for readers of Manhattan Beach Momma.  They will give you 10% off when you use the discount code MBMom1!

In addition, they are going to giveaway one Flap Happy Product, and one Kai Bean Kids shirt.  Woo hoo!

To enter to win, please do the following:

1.) Leave a comment here about which product you’d like to win and why.

2.) For extra entries, go like Kai Bean Kids Facebook page and then leave a comment here that you liked their page.

3.) Then go like Flap Happy’s Facebook page and leave a comment here that you liked their page.

Two winners will be chosen on Friday, December 16th at 5:00 pm PST using Random. org.  Good luck!

* I was not compensated for this review & post.  I was sent one outfit for my daughter from Flap Happy and a shirt for my son from Kai Bean Kids.

Holiday Gift Guide: HEXBUG Nano Hive & HEXBUG Nano Giveaway

December 13, 2011 By 10 Comments

My son is seven.  I can’t imagine a more perfect toy for him than the HEXBUG HIVE.  HEXBUGs are robotic bug-like creatures.  They creep and crawl.  They squiggle and squirm.  Some do it one their own, others move with the help of a remote control.

We were sent the HEXBUG HIVE to review.  It was a SLAM DUNK the second we opened the box.  The HIVE, according to the HEXBUG website, is “is the first transportable environment that enables HEXBUG Nano architects to customize the design and layout within a HEXBUG Nano Habitat Set.  Hive also has a built-in ramp for multi-level fun!  The Hive Habitat Set comes with one extremely rare HEXBUG Nano mutation and 35 easy-connect construction pieces including 16 pegs, 16 adjustable flags, 2 merry-go-rounds and 1 seesaw. Use the Hive as a stand-alone playset or connect to existing HEXBUG Nano Habitat Sets.”

Since the package arrived a week ago, my son has been playing with the Hive non-stop.  After helping his dad at work the other, he earned a trip to the toy store.  Guess what he bought?  More HEXBUG accessories.  He’s hooked! I can easily say that these are a wonderful gift for any little guy on your shopping list.

The HEXBUG PR team is offering one HEXBUG Nano as a giveaway for one lucky reader of Manhattan Beach Momma.  To enter to win, please do the following:

1.) Leave a comment here within the blog about why you want to win.

2.) For an extra entry, please tweet the following message:  I entered to win the@MBMomBlogger @HEXBUG giveaway for a NANO.  You can too: http://wp.me/p1rGlf-zs.  Then leave another comment here that you tweeted the message.

One winner will be chosen on Friday, December 16th at 5 pm using Random.org.  Good luck!

For more information about HEXBUGs, check out their website:  http://www.HEXBUG.com.  Or, visit them on Twitter & on Facebook.
