Welcome to the Ella Bella Bum Giveaway

Sponsored by Ella Bella Bum 
Organized by Mom to Bed by 8 and co-hosted by Iowa Mom.

Fruit20 has new flavors, new Dial It Back app


Barbara's Beat was selected by MommyParties and Fruit2O to have a party and received a free product as well as samples to give to my guests.



Fruit2O® has introduced new flavors of water in time for summer. With zero sugar, calories, carbs and artificial flavors, Fruit20 provides water with just enough natural fruit flavor to satisfy your taste buds.

One new flavor is Natural Cucumber Lemon. The crisp cucumber is perfectly paired with just enough zesty lemon for a combination that is as delicious as it is refreshing. The second new flavor is Natural Watermelon.  It's just like biting into a cold slice of watermelon on a hot summer day. Fruit2O’s new watermelon flavor is delectable, invigorating and lightly sweet.

As part of Fruit20's appreciation for balance, it has launched a campaign encouraging us to Dial It Back on our social media. Some of us have been sharing a little too much.

It can't be stressed enough how important it is to keep your child's teeth healthy. Starting as young as possible, you should clean their gums with a clean wet washcloth. Then, as they get older they have  approved gum cleaner with little finger brushes you can use on your little one. When their first tooth pops in, it's a good time to buy a soft tip toothbrush and infant toothpaste that's safe to swallow. "Why do I have to brush them?" you ask? "They're just going to fall out anyway." Yes, but you must have a healthy foundation to build on.

Win any pair of Real Kids Shades 6/2

realkidsshades

If you know BabyDashCo, you'd know that she slathers the sunscreen on her kids. She wants to protect them from skin cancer now and in the future. Another thing most people don't realize is the sun can cause major eye damage. Water play and skiing are the most damaging to the eyes besides starring straight into the sun, which you should never do. You should wear protective eye gear as often as you can. Did you know that children's eyes are at increased risk for permanent eye damage from sunlight until they're at least 10 years old? Yeah, scary, and unlike skin cells, eye lenses cannot repair themselves. Once they're damaged, they're damaged forever, and can lead to serious eye disease and even blindness.

Win one of four Radz candy dispensers 6/1

Radz gone wild

Have you heard of Radz candy dispensers? Well, I haven't, until now. But, I bet they are about to become very popular and collectible.

Radz is the new hit around blogger babydashco's house, and soon to be at her kids school, too. You can find her review about them HERE.
