Yesterday we posted a LEGOs sales post and thought we’d share a sale each day for girls, moms and dads. So here’s Fashion Playtes for the girls in your family:
We have never tried this, just visited their website and it looks really cool.
Belly Armor Holiday Bundle
I bought Belly Armor’s new Belly Blanket – Chic after Sir Eats Alot was born and although it is not as soft as the Belly Blanket Luxe, it isn’t as hot to have over my lap. It does have a small hole in it already, which I think came from some moth infestation we had when we brought some boxes that were in storage into the house. Very disappointing, but so far it hasn’t become any bigger. I have used it for a blanket for baby as well, especially if I happen to be laying in bed nursing and working on my laptop, as I will make sure I cover him while I work. It has a little hood on the corner like a baby towel does. I like it, but I think I like the Belly Luxe better because it does have a softer feel to it.
Now they have yet another new product on the market. Read more below…
Belly Armor Launches “Belly Band” to Shield Cell Phone and Laptop Radiation
New maternity band utilizes technology to address health concerns from everyday radiation exposure.
NEW YORK, NY, November 22, 2010 – Belly Armor by RadiaShield has recently launched the newest product in their line of maternity clothing and accessories – The Belly Band. Utilizing a silver-fiber textile, Belly Armor products shield radiation from cell phones and other electronic devices with over 99% effectiveness. To address the growing concern over the health effects from this radiation, Belly Armor has adapted this technology into a wearable maternity band.
Maternity bands have, in recent years, become an essential item for expecting mothers to both provide support and prolong the use of pre-pregnancy clothing. The Belly Armor Belly Band aims to capitalize on this trend by providing a band with the added functionality of radiation shielding.
“There are a lot of women out there who will be purchasing a maternity band already, it’s an easy decision to choose the band that will also provide protection against the health risks from everyday radiation,” says Belly Armor CEO, Aileen Chen.
The technology behind The Belly Band is called RadiaShield Fabric. It is lighter than the cotton found in a t-shirt, machine washable, and soft to the touch. The fabric utilizes an effect known as a Faraday cage, which neutralizes incoming radiation in a way similar to a grounding wire neutralizing an electric current.
Health experts advise that pregnant women limit their exposure to this type of radiation, which comes from devices like cell phones, laptops, mp3 players, tablet computers, even baby monitors. Some countries and even parts of the US have begun passing legislation to reduce this type of radiation exposure. France has banned the sale and marketing of cell phones to children and San Francisco recently passed legislation requiring the labeling of cell phone radiation levels.
Belly Armor Belly Bands come in black, white, nude and hot pink and in four sizes. You can find Belly Armor Bands online at bellyarmor.com and at maternity stores across the US and Canada.
About Belly Armor by RadiaShield
Belly Armor by RadiaShield is the definitive resource for information and tools to protect your child against the risks of everyday radiation. Made with RadiaShield® fabric and the highest quality textiles, Belly Armor products provide stylish comfort, convenient safety, and reliable protection. Belly Armor products are available online at http://www.bellyarmor.com and through maternity retailers across the country.

***Closed****12 Days of Christmas Giveaways – Day 5 – Frecklebox Personalized Gift
Congratulations Karen F! You won our Frecklebox giveaway! Thanks to all who entered and to the Frecklebox for sponsoring this giveaway! Winner chosen by random.org
We recently read that someone else who uses Random.org found out that if you tweet alot that will help you win. So tweet, tweet, tweet!
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to YOU – a Frecklebox.com Personalized Gift!
Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.
A few weeks ago I received a personalized gift from Frecklebox.com in the form of a personalized clipboard.
This personalized clipboard is actually very nice, imho (in my humble opinion). I requested that our last name be on our clipboard, not Tristan. 🙂 The clipboard is a white sturdy plastic clipboard with the personalized background covering just the front side. Over the weeks it has held up well, just a teeny bit of curling up on the bottom corners and a few pen marks from a certain two-year-old in our house. He had also taken a marker to it at one point, but thankfully it just wiped right off like a dry erase marker. Only it was not a dry erase, I believe it was a crayola or a sharpie and I used a baby wipe.
Overall, I am very pleased with the personalized clipboard and I’d consider purchasing more for our farm next spring to keep our CSA and farmers market stand more organized.
Frecklebox also carries other ideas for personalized gifts as well. They offer personalized books, personalized party favors, personalized puzzles, personalized journals, and so much more.

Health & Garden Tuesday: CSA Course Scholarships
A couple of weeks ago we got word that we received a $320 scholarship to a CSA Course at Michael Fields Agricultural Institute in Wisconsin. A CSA, for those unfamiliar with the term is:
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of “shares” to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a “membership” or a “subscription”) and in return receive a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.
Plus, we had an educational scholarship of $150 granted to us as well, making an $800 course much more affordable to say the least!
I started last week and thoroughly enjoyed the first class.
