The Truth's Thoughts: I
think this a really cool idea and very different. I can see me doing
this all time for little kids birthday's because, I know they would all
love them. I have 7 nephews so I know they would have a good time
and make it even better that they will be personalized with their name
on them. If you would like to put a personal touch to a gift for a
birthday, Easter, Christmas, or just to be nice one day. Check out Send A Ball
and I am sure you will be able to send them a card they will never
forget. And also something they will be able to love more because it is
all personalized with your own words.

Sendaball, Inc.
is a family business headquartered in Chicago. It is owned by a
couple of BALLSY sisters who live across the street from each other in
the same northwestside Chicago neighborhood they grew up in. They have
been sending balls since the 90s, but one day in 2003, it seemed
this CRAZY idea was meant to be a BUSINESS.
Michele tells it like this:
How did it start? I come from the direct
mail world, so I knew the mailing rules. I made a practice of
sending silly things in the mail over the years. One day I was in Osco,
saw a BIN of bouncy balls, grabbed one and thought "I can mail this".
Took a sharpie, addressed it to my BFF Sharon, wrote "Have BALL with
your new baby", went to the post office and mailed it. Sharon loved it
so much, my sister and i sent them again and again to other friends. A
few years later while standing in line at the post office, a guy
behind me asked about the balls and asked if I could send one for him.
Initially I instructed him in the steps to do it himself, but by the
time we got to the front of the line, he had given me the info and $5.
Laughing, I called my sister and told her how funny that just was.
She said, " MICH, I THINK WE ARE ONTO SOMETHING". Read More:

For moms, selecting bottles is one of the most difficult tasks. The first thing that caught my eye about the Comotomo Natural Feel Baby Bottles was
their unique design. I’m not sure if you can call a bottle stylish but
at first glance this bottle meets the criteria for just that. Both my kids are two old for bottles, so I gave the bottles to my sister-in-law because she just had a baby back in Dec. Her little girl Lexi loved her bottle. My sister said it was easy to feed her and she had less gas from the bottle. My sister also love the feel of the bottle because it don't feel like no other bottle I have ever seen or felt. The most unique feature of the Como Tomo bottle is the “squishy” natural
design element. The first time I took the bottle out of the box I was
surprised by it’s texture and how closely it mimics the touch of mom.
The nipple design and feel of the bottle help little ones latch on and
mimic breastfeeding. As you can see in this picture of my cute little niece Lexi that she is a very happy baby and loves her Comotomo.
Comotomo’ s unique features include: Naturally shaped, soft, silicone teat closely mimics breastfeeding and prevents nipple confusion. Truly slow-flow nipples encourage natural breathing and drinking pace. Soft, skin-like, squeezable body replicates feelings of natural breastfeeding. Eliminates nipple confusion with a large, wide ‘nipple mound’ that allows for a sealed latch and prevents unnecessary air from being ingested Anti-colic vents, which allows babies to get more milk, less air and slow milk-flow to reduce vacuum that can lead to ear pain and bubbles. 100% free of toxic chemicals and its silicon structure is unbreakable. Available in: Soft pink or green, sizes 150ml ($15.99) and 250 ml ($16.99)
If your searching for a baby bottle for your little one or a future little one, take the time to consider the Comotomo Natural Feel Baby Bottles . They are innovative, unique and designed with mom and baby in mind. You can order your own Comotomo botle on Amazon.com.

I have two boys and it is still a big surprise to me how much stuff you have to take with you when you have a baby. All the diapers, wipes, creams, lotions, etc. It all builds up and you run out of room. Well that is where the Mini Saver - The Baby Mama Saver will come in handy. And oh trust me it will be very handy because most of the stuff you need is all in this really cute bag that will fit down in your diaper bag and won't take up much room at all. You would never believe what all can fit into this little bitty bag till you get one and open for your self. I was shocked at everything in there, and wished I would have had this when my two where still babies because it would have saved me a lot of time.
CONTENTS: For Baby: Diaper Rash Cream – You and baby will both regret forgetting this at home. No one likes a
sore tushy. Baby Wipes
– Ever change a diaper without one of these? . . . it isn’t pretty. Scented Trash Bag – For when there is no appropriate place to toss that stinky diaper,
and you have no choice but to take it along. Kids Hand Sanitizer – Go ahead, let them play in the dirt, pick their friends nose, and
suck on their thumb; just make sure to sanitize! Boogy Wipes
– Remember that kid on the playground who had a huge slimy booger resting on
his top lip? (Why didn’t his mom wipe that off for him?) Don’t let your baby be
the booger buddy. Bib – When
feeding baby with the “airplane technique” (we all know it), a bib can come in
handy, just in case it’s a bumpy ride. Spot Remover
– The time will come when you’ll show up to a special occasion to find a fresh
spit-up stain right on baby’s clean, pressed shirt (or yours). Worry no more
with this on-the-go stain remover! Sunscreen
– Once upon a time, tan skin was all that mattered. Now you are paying for
those sunscreen-less hours in the sun, with wrinkles, and sunspots, and chemical
peels, oh my! Here’s your second chance: live vicariously through your baby,
protecting their flawless skin from those risky rays that have done you wrong! Antibiotic Ointment – We all know that kissing it makes it better, but a little antibiotic
ointment might help too. Bandage – Bandage
that boo boo to keep the cries in and the germs out! For Mama: Lip Balm –
You probably can’t resist kissing those soft cheeks. Whether they are on baby’s
face or tush, make sure your lips don’t scratch that baby smooth skin. Hair Tie –
To keep your locks out of baby’s food, face, and dirty diaper.
For those out and about
moments, when you run out of diaper rash cream, forget to pack baby wipes, or
don’t want to carry around that massive diaper bag. Keep The Baby Mama Saver in
your purse or car to save you and your baby from those desperate situations you hope
to never encounter, but inevitably will. $19.95

A little about Mini Saver taken from their website: Everything you forgot to bring.
Mini Savers’ mission is to provide you with all the
things you need but never seem to have with you. We’ve all had chapped lips and
no lip balm, a headache and no pain-reliever, garlic breath and no mints, or
killer 4-inch heels and too much pride to walk home barefoot. These common
daily tribulations inspired Mini Savers to prepare the unprepared.
Mini Savers are tiny kits full of all
the necessities
you may need at any moment. They are cute and compact enough to take on
the go and
can save you from many unfortunate situations, which is why we like to
call
them “savers.” Mini Saver’s goal is to create countless savers for all
occasions. Currently, our Mini Savers line holds two savers: The Shame
Saver, perfect for a girl’s night out, and our most recent addition to
the
line: The Baby Mama Saver.
Along with being extremely useful, Mini Savers’ witty
and lighthearted descriptions make them the perfect gift that is both fun and
personal.
Here are the two others Mini Savers you can get:
Have you ever walked
home barefoot because you couldn’t bear to walk a second more in your 3
inch heels? We’ve all had those nights where we go out strutting like
Giselle, hot off the runway, and come home looking like we were just
run over by a bulldozer. Well news flash, the bulldozer-look is out!
Stop looking like a hot mess with the Shame Saver. No matter what disaster your night may bring, the Shame Saver has everything you need but never seem to have with you, and it fits inside your clutch!
