THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSEDSo, y'all know how crazy I am about shoes. Doesn't matter if it's shoes for me or for my kids, I am in love with shoes. I was sent a pair of shoes recently that are so awesome they seriously make me want to have another baby. Really. These shoes are fantastic!Foxpaws Shoes are the most adorable, chic, stylish little shoes I have ever seen for babies. I am in love with them! The Classic Giraffe pair that Foxpaws sent me to check out are exquisite. The stitching is perfect. The inner sole seems very comfortable, while the outer sole is nice and durable. The outer part of the shoe is made from real leather and the inner is lined for comfort. These shoes really seem like they would stand the test of time and new walkers. The price is comparable to that of some other popular baby shoe brands and I think that for what you get with these shoes, the price is worth it. Really, these are so incredibly stylish! 
Foxpaws Shoes has a super cute selection of shoes and boots to choose from for children 0-24 months. If I had to complain about something it would only be that they don't come bigger than that! If I want to see one of my kids in these shoes, I guess I'll have to have another baby! Check out some of their other styles...
Foxpaws Shoes gives a percentage of each sale to Orphanage Support Services Organization and they are currently offering free shipping so, hurry and get a pair!Buy it!Use the code lolidots to get $10 off your order and free shipping!Win it!Foxpaws is giving one very lucky reader a pair of the Classic Giraffe shoes in a size 2!

Oh, how I love to snuggle up in a pair of comfy pajamas. I have so many different kinds of pajamas and I love them all. Curling up with a good book in a snuggly pair of pajama pants is so wonderful in the winter time. Or, strutting in on your anniversary in a sweet little teddy...lounging all day in your favorite pajama nightshirt...I absolutely love all kinds of pajamas. So, when I came across Sleepyheads, I rejoiced to find an online shop that is full of so many different styles and brands of pajamas. Sleepyheads carries pajamas for different occasions, different weather, for men, women and children. Along with the impressive pajama selection, Sleepyheads also offers bath robes, slippers and flip flops, handbags and accessories and wonderful gifts for the bath, body and home. The pajama selection at Sleepyheads can only be described as impressive. There are so many different styles and brands to choose from. If you are looking for something comfy for a child...
or something fun for a man...
or something a little sexy for yourself (or your spouse!)...
you'll find absolutely every possible pajama solution at Sleepyheads!While Sleepyheads carries a large selection of brandname pajamas and other items, they also have really nice choices of Sleepyhead brand products. They sent me one of their Sleepyheads brand pajama sets and it is wonderful. Soft and cozy and very true to size, this pajama set is high quality and very affordable. 
I love knowing that I can find so many different items in one store. To have all the pajamas in one place is great but, when you add in all the other amazing finds...like the handbags...
and the gifts...
and everything else that Sleepyheads has to offer, you have a store that is absolutely worth bookmarking and visiting again and again. You'll find great products at affordable prices and great promos.

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSEDBefore my kids went to bed last night we read a book. I love reading to them and they love being read to. Lately we've been doing things a little differently. We've been having our reading time on our computer!Big Universe is a website where you can read, create and share online children's books. They have a large library of children's books for all ages and levels. The website is full of fiction and nonfiction picture books that you can search through by age, grade, reading level, category and/or language. You can maintain a reading log and it's a wonderful homeschooling tool. Once you decide on one of the wonderful books you can read it full screen with your child and then you can even take a quiz afterwards and you can even assess progress from past tests. Big Universe also allows you to create, print and publish your own books. This is a wonderful teaching tool that can be done as a class project or with just you and your child. Big Universe allows you to use their image database or upload your own. Once you have created a book you can share it with thousands of members and explore what books they have created. I love the possibilities of Big Universe. It's user friendly and kid friendly. There are so many books to choose from and the extras are wonderful. Being able to read books on the computer is a big deal to me. It means more books to read but, fewer for my two year old to tear or color on. My five year old, rambunctious son who has recently shown more interest in action figures than reading is suddenly really excited about books again. The screen graphics of Big Universe are fun for kids and we both have a great time when we log on. The affordable fees for monthly membership to Big Universe are beyond worth it. When you think about the money spent at the bookstore and library and the gas to get there, the small membership fees that go along with all the amazing features of Big Universe make it a total steal. If you are a mom, teacher, homeschooler, babysitter, nanny, grandmother, etc. I really recommend checking out Big Universe. You can preview samples of their books and see how the site works with their fun demos. Win it!One reader will win a one month subscription to Big Universe!To Enter: Visit Big Universe and browse their books then fill out entry form belowExtra Entries:-Follow Lolidots Blog

DreamSacks began as one product made by a woman who's inventive mind came up with a solution for sleeping while traveling. The original DreamSack was two sheets sewn together into sleeping bag form. Since making the first silk DreamSack, the company has continuously added more and more amazing products that include items made from bamboo, silk, soy and cashmere. Each item is more luxurious than the next and DreamSacks' collections of clothing, bedding and accessories are all true gems.If you've never owned anything made from bamboo, let me tell you it is absolutely luxurious. It is the softest most comfortable fabric I've ever felt and I wish everything in my closet was made of it. I have a pair of the drawstring pants from DreamSacks. They are 95% vicose bamboo and I generally do not want to take them off. The fabric is ultra soft and the pants fit perfectly. They are slightly wide legged and I really like that. These pants are machine washable and make for the perfect lounging apparel. 
I'd love to own every piece of women's clothing from DreamSacks. One of my favorite items is the long sleeved hooded pullover shirt. I'm sure it would be the perfect match to my pants and it looks so very comfy. I also really like that it has pockets. 
DreamSacks also carries amazing items for baby! If you've got a baby shower to go to then I highly suggest the Baby Gift Set from DreamSacks for the perfect present. With three essential pieces (hat, socks and blanket) that are made from 95% vicose bamboo, this set will wrap any baby in high quality comfort. 
The bedding at DreamSacks is just unbelievable. Really, if I could have anything for Christmas, I'd want one of the bedding sets from DreamSacks. Imagine going to bed every night in between 100% bamboo sheets. Oh, what comfort! I'm really wishing for one of the comforter covers from DreamSacks as well. Really, that is going on my wish list for Christmas. 
The accessories from DreamSacks are really great as well. I happen to be crazy about scarves. I love winter, in part, because of the cute scarves and hats. The scarves from DreamSacks are 95% bamboo and look amazing. I love how many different colors they come in. Even better than the scarf is the Pashbu. This is a heavier scarf that is 100% vicose bamboo and hand painted. They come in a variety of beautiful colors and would be a wonderful addition to any winter wardrobe. 
I love the amazing products at DreamSacks but, more than that, I love what this company is doing for our world. The DreamSacks business uses solar panels to gain some of it's electricity, compostable bags for shipping, 100% recycled cardboard boxes, low impact dying and they even have an electric truck! In addition, DreamSacks has a Babies in the Workplace program! The company works hard to give customers high quality products and amazing customer service while proving that one of their main goals is to be as environmentally responsible as possible. Truly commendable. Buy it!I highly suggest heading over to DreamSacks and falling in love with all of their products!Win it!One reader will win receive a Pashbu in the color of their choice!US onlyTo Enter: Visit DreamSacks and fill out entry form belowExtra Entries:-Follow the Lolidots Blog (publicly in the google friend connect)-Become a fan of DreamSacks on Facebook-Follow DreamSacks on Twitter-Follow Lolidots on Twitter-Tweet (you can do this once a day but make sure you fill out the form every time with the link)Win a Pashbu from @dreamsacks and @lolidots http://lolidots.com/giveaways10 entries- Make a purchase from DreamSacks during this giveaway
