Baltic Amber Baby {Teething Necklace}Review & Giveaway! 4 WINNERS!!

A couple weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to review a Baltic Amber Teething Necklace from Baltic Amber Baby. I have to admit, I was skeptical about this product. A necklace that helps with teething??? I never used anything like this with my first two babies. But my 7 month old(BuBu) is teething and I NEED to help her in some way! I gave it a try....



BuBu started teething at 6 & 1/2 months old. She went from the happiest baby in the world to the crankiest! She began not sleeping through the night..waking up at least 3 times each night. She started getting fevers and drooling constantly. I was giving her Tylenol every 4-6 hours but the fever would not go away completely. I offered her chilled damp wash cloths, but she wasn't interested. I felt so bad for her. And I felt like there was nothing else I could do. Until, I came across Baltic Amber Baby on Facebook. I read through the info on their page and contacted them. They offered to send a bracelet for me to review. I received an email the day it was sent out and was told I would actually receive a necklace. I couldn't wait to try it!!

It arrived at the perfect time. BuBu was now getting two more teeth on the top and her crankiness was to the max!! She had 4 teeth coming in at the same time! Poor baby, I know :(

I was sent the Butter Bean necklace. I put it on her right away. I waited...hoping it would help her immediately. I didn't see a change withing the first hour. Still cranky and I couldn't comfort her at all. I was not discouraged though. I knew the process of the oils absorbing into her skin wouldn't happen so quick. After about an hour, I noticed she seemed much happier. She wasn't crying. I was amazed! That night, I wrapped the necklace around her ankle and put a sock over it to keep in place.(as directed) She did wake up once but I fed her and she went right back to sleep. I am sure it was because of the teething necklace! She hadn't slept that good in weeks!  On a side note...she hasn't had a single fever since she started wearing her necklace. She wears it every day and almost every night. Overall, I would recommend using a Batlic Amber Teething Necklace. Great alternative to medicines!

They even have bracelet sets for Mom and Baby! That is awesome!

Here is some info you might want to know...
Amber is a resin that has been fossilized from prehistoric pine trees that date back to approximately 50 million years ago. Amber has been used for centuries as a natural remedy to relieve pain in both young children and adults. It has been shown to provide pain relief and remedy the complications that occur during teething. These include pain, lack of appetite, upset stomach, excessive drooling, fever, ear aches and cold. Amber is also a powerful antioxidant, helps to compensate for low energy in the body and in the brain, thus boosting awareness, energy, concentration and reflexes and reduces stress. There are 2 forms of amber, raw and polished. Raw of course, is in its natural state, thus having a stronger effect and has great results for newborns suffering from gas and colic.

Along came a spider...

Ahhh. I was enjoying some peaceful sleep the other night when my husband jumped out of his skin! He is a light sleeper and I am glad! He woke up on time to kill THIS!


It was crawling on him with me in it's path! We collected this creapy crawly and put it in a ziploc bag to examine. YUP...a brown recluse! A venomous spider! Luckily, these spiders are not aggressive. They tend to only bite when they are messed with or are pressed against the skin(ex: under a banket!!) Thanks goodness my husband kicks his blanket off at night. This is the third brown recluse I have found in my house this week. Does anyone else have a recluse problem? Solution?? I get the jitters every time I see one of these! I am starting to HATE spiders!! EEEKKKK ~Jessi

Every little crafter needs an apron! (Embroideree)

My daughter has been asking for an apron for a while now. We like to garden and do crafts. Well, recently, I was the lucky winner at Luvin My Lil Monkeys blog for a personalized Cobbler Apron  from Embroideree !!
I browsed through their many (and when I say many, I mean A LOT) designs and choose the "Mommy's Girl" design because my daughter is a total mommy's girl! There were a lot of other designs that I liked, but this one stood out the most. I choose to keep it a surprise because I wanted to see how excited she got when she saw it. She was SOOO excited! (You can hardly tell in the pics because she is camera shy at times...but she was super excited!)

 I just thought I'd share. It fits her great and looks very durable! We will be testing this out with our crafts later! Thank you Linda!!                                             

Here is information from their site:
ONE SIZE
 Designed to fit pre-schoolers and early elementary students.
Full rounded styling - Center divided pouch pocket.
Made from 7.5 oz. ultra-durable 
65/35 poly-cotton twill.

You can purchase one of these for your child for  $19.95. Price includes Single name/Monogram AND SHIPPING!
