Melissa & Doug Fun in the Sun Giveaway!

Summer weather is here! Melissa & Doug has all kinds of great toys for you to help keep the kids entertained for the summer. You can get toys for all ages including classic toys, tents, sand toys, puzzles, art & craft, plus more!

There are so many creative and adorable toys on the market, and it's hard to resist buying a whole slew of them for my grandbabies. But even if I had an unlimited supply of funds and my daughters had an unlimited amount of space in their homes, the bottom line is that most toys are not safe for their little ones. That's one reason I love toys with the Melissa & Doug signatures on them. They take their signatures seriously and they're not going to put it on products that are unsafe for your children.

As they say, there is no substitute for TESTING, TESTING, and MORE TESTING. And so, they test. And test. And test. Their products meet or exceed government recommendations limiting heavy metals, lead, and phthalates in their products.

Not only do you have the opportunity to win this giveaway but you can also head on over to the Melissa & Doug on Facebook fan page and then click on the Play to 250k Sweepstakes tab to enter the Play to 250,000 Fans Sweepstakes.

Each time their fan base grows by 1,000 fans, a fan will win a selection of Melissa & Doug toys. Plus, when the Facebook page reaches 250,000 fans, all fans will receive a special gift. WOW!!

A natural and organic products one-stop shop

While searching online for eco-friendly and people-friendly products, I discovered Enviro Products World, a one-stop shop for your green-minded friends and family. Of course, it's a bit late to start shopping online for Christmas presents (is Christmas really one week away?!), but if you're willing to pay for expedited shipping, Enviro Products World can still take care of your last minute shopping needs. From toys to health to hair care to organic skin care, this is a site that seems to have it all. Seriously.

Here are just some of the brands they carry:

• John Masters Organics
• Kiss My Face
• Alba
• Organic Essence 
• Giovanni
• Jason
• St. Francis Organics
• Yarok
• Bayberry Naturals
• Vermont Organics
• Full Circle
• Aubrey Organics
• Aloha Bay
• Nutraceutical
• Acure Organics
• Intelligent Nutrients
• Yummy Earth
• Green Eats
• Green Toys
• Little Sapling Toys
• Holgate Toys
• Nature's Baby Organics
• Little Twig
• Nature's Paradise
• Rainbow Light
• and many more!

How crazy is that? You can literally do all of your shopping on this one site! I recommend bookmarking it so you can revisit the site after the holidays. Who knows, maybe Santa will stick some nice green cash in your stocking and you can spend it wisely on products that are kind to you and the earth!

Why does buying organic and earth-friendly products matter? For a myriad of reasons! First of all, for the health and safety of your family, you should try to buy organic products whenever possible. All the pesticides and other toxins in conventional food and products is wreaking havoc with our systems. Our skin was not created to absorb chemicals and our systems were not designed to ingest toxins. That's just the way it is. And that is especially true when it comes to your baby. Slathering toxic creams, oils and ointments on your little one's delicate skin is simply setting him/her up for a lifetime of potential diseases and disorders, including cancer. Honor your child's present and future health by choosing the right products for him/her. Organic products. Safe products. 

That's what you'll find on the Enviro Products World website. Products you will feel confident using. I just wish I'd found the website earlier in the month as I'm still not done shopping, but am not up to paying high shipping fees. What about you? Are you done with your shopping yet? Perhaps I better get back to it. One week away! Seriously??

Working hard to get it done,

Hana
