$25 for Pajamas Giveaway from Crazy For Bargains

Crazy for Bargains is an online one-stop-pajama-shop for the entire family. When they contacted me about doing a review and giveaway, I was shocked that I didn't know such a store existed! 
My family is always in need of pajamas. Andrew grows so quickly his pajama pants are capris now. My husband's pajamas are seven sizes too big (he bought them that way) and I collect pajamas like I should be on TLC's "Extreme Hoarders" (Ok, I'm not that bad). 
Needless to say, I was happy to hear from Crazy for Bargains. Shopping for pajamas while in my pajamas sounds like a good thing to me! Furthermore, I was really impressed by the high quality of the review samples they sent my way.

$13.99
I received a Red Henley Long Nightgown for me and the ridiculously adorable Sozo Giraffe Cotton Pajamas for Andrew. Despite my fear that I would feel like an old lady a nightgown that reaches my calves, it is actually really cute and so soft I could wear it all day (but will try not to).

Andrew's pajamas, aside from being the cutest darn pajamas ever, are also really soft. And despite my fears that they wouldn't fit because we received the 12 month size (he is 23-ish pounds) or would shrink in the wash, they actually fit and held up really well. I only noticed a bit of fading on the inside of the waistband from my heavy washing/high heat drying.

Lands' End Online Warehouse Sale + Free Shipping Code = Awesome


Lands' End is having a ridiculous online warehouse sale with up to 70% off their regular prices. I don't buy a lot from Landsend, but this did give me an excuse to buy one of their super-cute and highly-praised bathing suits. Regularly $99.50, I got the Women's D-cup All-over Control Slender Grecian Swimsuit above for $31.99. The regular (non D cup) is going for $28.79 from $89.50--both are steals!!

There are other amazing deals--on kids clothes, home goods, shoes, you name it--available at the Warehouse Event through July 27th. Plus, if you enter promotional code FREESHIPJULY with the pin 2406 at checkout, you'll receive free shipping. 
Happy shopping!

I love Wet Skin Sunblock Spray!

Neutrogena Wet Skin Junior Sunblock Spray SPF 70, 5 Ounce
At $11-$13 in-stores and online, Neutrogena's Wet Skin Kids Sunblock spray is a bit pricier than some sunblock lotions--but it is also amazing. 

At first I was a naysayer--when my cousin whipped it out by our pool, I thought "what is the point of this fancy-shmancy stuff?" The point is that you can spray non-cooperative tikes with the stuff in just a minute or two (no more rubbing and rubbing in lotion) and. most importantly, it really prevents sunburn! I even spray it in Andrew's hair--what an improvement over lubing his head with lotion.

Wet Skin Kids SPF 70 spray applies on wet or dry skin, is water-proof and sweat-proof, and is oil free (no slippery babies). And I think it smells pretty darn good! (I even use some myself--they do make an SPF 85 adult version that can be used on kids 6+ months too.) Sometimes the spray can shock an unsuspecting kid, though, so you may need to proceed gently, especially on the back of the neck. 

Be safe in the sun and enjoy the weekend!
