Let's face it......kids are super active. And that's awesome! But, they aren't always wearing the perfect clothing for their high activity levels. Agoo is fabulous clothing for all of our super active kids. 
The fabrics that Agoo uses for their fantastic children's clothing contain a strong UV protected finish. This finish blocks out harmful UV rays and lasts throughout washes, wear and tear. Agoo's slogan "Stay out and play" is obviously important to them and shows in all their clothing. Every kid wants to play a little longer! Agoo clothes help them do so comfortably. Agoo clothing is wick-away, antibacterial and stain resistant. You can be happy knowing that your child is wearing the most comfortable clothing that will keep them comfortable no matter how long they play.
When it comes to babies on the move, one of the best items around are Leg Huggers. These adorable leg warmers protect baby's legs as they crawl and keep them warm. They are great for the bigger kids too! My 2 1/2 year old daughter adores her Leg Huggers. In the winter, they are perfect to ensure she can keep wearing her adorable dresses. Leg Huggers are versatile and also make perfect arm warmers for the kids. They come in a ton of different styles for boys and girls and are made from 100% sustainable Bamboo fibres, making them wonderfully eco-friendly. 
If you've got active kids (don't we all), or know someone who does, I absolutely recommend the clothing from Agoo. It's fashionable, adorable and perfect for all the running, jumping, skipping, tumbling, climbing and everything else our kids do all day!Buy it!You can purchase Leg Huggers and all the Agoo clothing from their online store.Win it!One reader will win a pair of Leg Huggers of their choice!

I don't know if you heard me the times before when I've said that I am crazy about purses. I am cah-razy about purses. True story.Purses, handbags, clutches, diaper bags, wallets....if it's a bag that I can put stuff in, I'm sold.Of course, it helps if it's seriously cute!I found out recently that a blogging buddy of mine owns a line of handbags that are out of this world. I gushed, she was modest, I think I probably gushed some more...and, I'm stoked to say that, thanks to Janae from Pink Moss blog and Native Honey bags, one of you lucky readers is getting the chance to snatch up one of their awesome bags! 
Native Honey is the result of two cousins who share a love of the outdoors and a passion for fashion. Their philosophy "You don’t have to be high maintenance to be high fashion" absolutely makes me smile. So do their bags! 
All of the bags at Native Honey are hand constructed from recycled fabric remnants. When two people love the outdoors as much as Janae and her cousin, it's no surprise that they'd be Earth conscious enough to only use recycled fabric remnants for their uber fashionable bags. 
I love that each and every bag shows the high fashion side of the outdoorsy love. I'm not really an outdoorsy person, per say but, I could absolutely sport any of these bags and feel awesome about it. Janae sent me one of the Penny clutches to see for myself how truly unbelievable these bags are. Oh, how I love this clutch! Really. I believe my words to describe it to Janae was that I may have to leave my husband so that I can marry this bag. It's so pretty and unique. I just can't say enough good things about this clutch. I will also say that the craftsmanship is exceptional. Every detail is painstakingly perfect. I adore the Native Honey hammered penny attached to the front of the bag. The zippered pockets inside give plenty of room for all of my goodies. It's also the perfect size. It's big enough to be able to carry my necessities but, small enough to be a chic clutch. I'm kind of enamored by clutches these days and this one was just perfect to add to my collection. 
You can check out all the bags and buy yours HERE. Check out THIS POST on the Pink Moss blog to see some of the stores that carry Native Honey in California. And, hey, if you think a store near you should carry Native Honey, then direct them HERE where they'll find contact info on how to get the bags in their store!So, you want a Native Honey bag? You know you do! One incredibly lucky reader will win their choice of bag from Native Honey's Etsy shop! That's amazing!US onlyWe're doing this giveaway a little longer than usual to give you all a good chance to get in all those extra entries! ends 4/30To Enter: Visit Native Honey's Etsy shop, pick out your fave bag

You know how sometimes you find a product that completely solves an annoying problem and is something so simple yet makes you sublimely happy.....Enter, Jean Straps.
Really, these things are "Why didn't I think of that?" and "How did I manage without this?" all rolled into one! This past winter was my first time to cross over to the side of skinny jeans and boot wearing. I really enjoyed the chic and cute styles but, was always incredibly annoyed at having to constantly push my jeans down into my boots, especially after getting out of a vehicle. I even told my husband one day that I need some kind of stirrup pants or something on the bottoms of my jeans. Then, I stumbled upon Jean Straps. 
And, my problem was solved! Jean Straps are comfortable, affordable and easy to use removable stirrups for your jeans. Each strap attaches to a side of the bottom of your pant leg and holds your jeans down. Putting on boots is a snap and my jeans no longer bunch up! I love that the straps aren't tight on the bottoms of my feet. I really can't even tell they are there. I love that these stirrup straps don't have the bulky clamps that I've seen elsewhere.The best part? I can wear my flared jeans with my boots now! I always had the hardest time getting them to go in the boots and stay in them but, with the Jean Straps, it's really easy and they don't end up looking all bunchy. Whether you are an UGG wearer or a fashionista wearing sleek knee high boots, Jean Straps definitely need to be a part of your wardrobe. These make excellent little gifts for your best friend, neighbor, your child's teacher, a secretary and even for Mother's Day. Keep them in mind later in the year because, what a great stocking stuffer!
Now, to convince my husband that I need these to go with my Jean Straps...
Buy it!You can purchase your pair of Jean Straps from the online store.Win it!Jean Straps is hooking one of my readers up with their own pair of straps!

Do you get enough sleep? So many of us just don't sleep enough and even more of us are not getting quality sleep. According to the National Center for Sleep Disorders Research at the National Institutes of Health, about 30-40% of adults say they have some symptoms of insomnia within a given year. Sleep deprivation can cause a gamut of health problems. People who suffer from lack of sleep can experience everything from lethargy to headaches, memory lapses to obesity, increased blood pressure to increased risk for diabetes, ADHD symptoms to depression and so many other problems. Quality sleep is vital to our nervous system and lack of it makes for an all around less productive life. More than half of all American adults experience sleep problems. New parents lose about 350 hours of nighttime sleep during the first year of baby's life. One of the most common sleep problems that people can experience at some point in their life and some experience chronically is insomnia. There are many reasons someone may experience insomnia and many possible solutions that people turn to for relief. One such solution that insomniacs and many others seeking quality sleep will often turn to is a sound machine or white noise machine. Personally, I've tried many different sleep sound systems throughout my life and have lukewarm feelings for most of them. The sound quality usually leaves something to be desired while generally being awakened by the sound shutting off or having to use a separate alarm clock. Recently, I was blessed with the opportunity to experience a new sleep sound system. The Sound Oasis Sound Therapy System S-650-01 has changed the quality of sleep in my household. The Sound Oasis Sound Therapy System S-650-01 from Sound Oasis features clinically proven sounds developed by Dr. Lee Bartel, an internationally acclaimed music and health expert. In addition to these amazing sound therapy sounds, the Sound Oasis system also provides six authentic digital recordings of nature sounds that were recorded in the wild by the world's foremost nature recorder. What this means is that, unlike digitally made or enhanced sounds that some other systems may use, the nature sounds of the Sound Oasis system are the most realistic available. The Sound Oasis Sound Therapy System also uses sound card technology to allow you the ability to change your sound themes by inserting a new memory card. The flexibility in the sounds is fantastic and truly allows the user to find the absolute best sound for their particular sleep problem and easily find the optimum sound for their own quality sleep. Another beneficial function you'll find is the unique and patented Sleep Enhancement technology that slows down sound playback to lull you to sleep. While other sound systems may have the multi-position timer that the Sound Oasis Sound Therapy System uses, this timer boasts an amazing function. The unique "gradual off" volume reduction allows for a more peaceful decrease in the sound instead of just stopping. The sound quality is great. The omnidirectional reflective speaker allows the sound to come from the back of the unit and really feels like it's filling your room with the peaceful sounds. It's well known how important a good night's sleep is to our bodies and our minds. Far too many people are constantly chasing that good sleep. Our lives are busier than ever and full of more stress with each passing day. When you lay your head down at night, a system like the Sound Oasis Sound Therapy System can absolutely change how you fall asleep and what kind of sleep you have once you are there. As someone who suffers from tinnitus, I can attest to the awesome power of this particular sound system. To be able to fall asleep faster and with greater ease is an amazing thing. It leads to less stressful days and an overall feeling of well-being. Whether you are suffering from insomnia, dealing with a crying baby, feeling the effects of tinnitus or some other sleep disorder, I highly recommend the Sound Oasis Sound Therapy System over any other sleep sound system on the market. The quality of the sound is better than any I've heard and the prices are pleasantly affordable. I'm seriously contemplating having one of these in every room of the house. The whole family can benefit from the enhanced sleep quality and the gentle, soothing sounds are ideal for relaxation at any time. Visit Sound Oasis for more info on their products and how they can help you.
Win it!
One lucky reader will win their own Sound Oasis Sound Therapy System!
