Wink Naturals and a Giveaway!

This week, I am excited to FINALLY be able to share with you a mommy must have product from a brand that we have been using daily for a few weeks now and have been loving. 

If you follow my social media accounts (which I hope you all do) then you know that my little Henry Hugglemonster has been quiet the teether, 8 teeth by 10 months, and it has led to countless sleepless and painful nights for the poor guy... and mommy.  After two rounds of ear infections we were finally able to put these two products that Wink Naturals had sent us to the test. 

We had been on the search for a good natural and drug free teething gel after months of painful teething with our little guy and I was so impressed by what  Wink Naturals Cool Gum Teething gel offered.  The Cool Gum Teething gel gently cools and soothes tender gums without the risk of exposure to any added preservatives. Winks natural formula, with no added drugs or medicine, made it the safest option for our little one.  I had never thought to put a teething gel in the fridge, DUH, and when Wink Naturals suggested I store their teething gel in the fridge I was blown away by the results.  Henry loved the added instant cooling relief and it seemed to work for hours before we had to reapply. 

Along with making little Henry's mouth comfortable, we started to get into a more strict bedtime routine in hopes to calm and soothe him for a good nights rest despite his pain. As part of our new bedtime routine we started using Wink Naturals Pure Sleep and Breathe chest rub.  Pure Sleep and Breathe is also made of natural oils like lavender and eucalyptus radiata, as well as premium quality coconut oil and Shea butter so it's safe for baby's skin.  I love how the calming smell and soothing rub promoted peaceful sleep for little Henry and also acted as a natural decongestant for any runny nose congestion he had while teething. Henry and I both looked forward to a soothing aromatic rub before bedtime and naps.  I have also even been using it on my older two kiddos. Both Hunter and Hayden seem to catch any little throat irritant that's floating in the universe and between preschool, kindergarten, daycare, church and play times, it feels like we have had weekly congestion.  The kids have loved the Pure Sleep and Breathe as a part of their nighttime routine as well and agree it smells so much better than the other decongestant rubs we've used in the past.

Wink Naturals is a company based right here out of Utah and the founder was also a co-founder in one of our absolute favorite natural medicines, Zarbee's.  (Wink Naturals isn't affiliated with Zarbee's) Wink Naturals was created to combat the sleep epidemic that is prevalent in every home. Wink Naturals not only offers sleep and teething solutions, but also natural solutions like Bum Balm, Llama Lotion and even sleep help for adults. 
Wink Naturals even has their own blog where they give TONS of awesome advice on sleep, healthy living, motherhood and share recipes!  It has absolutely become a favorite read of mine. Head over and check out the blog here.

The Latchy Catchy

I am SO EXCITED to be sharing with you guys my new, Most Favorite Mommy MUST HAVE. I am collaborating with this fabulous company to introduce you to their amazing product.
The owners are also giving a 10% discount to our FordOlogy readers who purchase their unique product, and I promise you will want to order at least a couple. 
Mommies, Daddies, Grandparents and Really ANYONE who has children in their home, please meet The Latchy Catchy.

I came across the Latchy Catchy in an Instagram giveaway and being intrigued by this unique looking product, I dug a little deeper to find out more information.
The Latchy Catchy is a unique, one of a kind, door silencer that  'allows you to open and close any interior door silently. No more clicks of the knobs or slams of the door, just the peaceful sound of your little ones fast asleep'. -LCWebsite
Upon finding their website and reading countless RAVED reviews, I knew it was a product I needed in my home. I reached out to the owner and the sweet Lyndsey sent me out my very own Latchy Catchy the next day! 

I was so excited when my Latchy Catchy package showed up in the mail with the cutest little note from Lyndsey (who both her and her husband happen to be a BYU Grads like Kev - Go Cougs!). I didn't hesitate to put mine to use right away. (I may or may not have tried it on EVERY interior door!) You guys... in ALL honesty, I have NEVER been more excited about a 'mommy must have' product. What a GENIUS idea The Lacthy Catchy is. I cannot tell you how many times those silly clicks of the knobs or slamming door when the AC turns on has woken up a sleeping baby in my house! 
I am so in LOVE with The Latchy Catchy. It's been a lifesaver in our home the last month. With a newborn, and a toddler who is having night terrors EVERY NIGHT, we have been able to keep our newborn sleeping while allowing our toddler access to open his door if he is scared. It truly has been wonderful when I go in to check on Hunter, before I go to bed, to not have to worry about the silly door knob click spooking him awake. I love the quality of the fabric (not to mention their adorable patterns) the elastic bands that stretch and fit around door knobs with ease, the fabulous price at just around $10, and the durability to take on a two year old. 

I definitely need at least one more Latchy Catchy so I can put one on the garage door. How awesome to have The Latchy Catchy on a door I am CONSTANTLY coming in and out of without a free hand. It's always a carseat in one hand, diaper bag, groceries or Hunter toys in the other. The Latchy Catchy is perfect to allow me to just bump the door open. I also can't wait to take our Latchy Catchy with us on vacation next week.  We'll be staying at my parents and in-laws house and it will be nice to have the door silencer on unfamiliar doors!    This is definitely one of those "fulfilling a need" products and I know that it is and will continue to be SUPER SUCCESSFUL.
Head over to The Latchy Catchy and check out all of their fabulous fabric designs to find the RIGHT ones for each of your kids.
How PERFECT is this Gold Polka Dot LC we got for little Hayden's room.

We obviously have a Gold Polka Dot obsession.

As promised above, The Latchy Catchy Team is offering a special discount just for our FordOlogy Readers. For a LIMITED TIME enter code: FORD10 at checkout to receive 10% off your purchase!  Already FABULOUSLY priced this extra discount gives you NO EXCUSE not to buy 2 or 3 I know I have my order in for a couple more.
Thanks so much Lyndsey and Latchy Catchy for such an ingenious product. I am always amazed when talented entrepreneurs are able to create problem solving, quality products and you NAILED this one on the head.

KinderCompanie BowTies.

Hunter received a lovely surprise in the mail way back in March and I have been dying for a few occasions/Sundays where we could show off his new accessories.

The amazingly talented Christy at the KinderCompanie sent Hunter two of the most adorable little person bow ties I have ever seen.

I am so in love with this beautiful handmade product.

I seriously DIED when I opened this package and saw these beauties.

The Natural/Sand Linen bow tie is the perfect accessory for a colored collared shirt for any occasion.

Hunter wore it on Easter Sunday last week and it paired so well with his pink shirt.

And how ADORABLE is this Vintage Rocket Bow tie? 

PhotoCred: KinderCompanie

Hunter wore the Rocket bow tie on Hayden's Blessing day and got so many compliments.

Such a handsome little dude.

Each bow tie fastens with Velcro for easily styling, especially for a CRAZY toddler.

KinderCompaines bow ties are 100% cotton and they offer a range of sizes from Newborn to Teens.

(Adult sizes are also available for an extra charge)

KinderCompanies fabric patterns are fresh and unique. 

Hunter is so excited to have a bow tie and look handsome like Daddy.

I think I might just have to order matching bow ties for Hunter and Dad for Fathers Day. 

Thanks to KinderCompanie for sending us these fabulous goodies! 

Be sure to head over to their shop and pick up some of these fabulous bow ties for your little guy. 

They also have a few accessories for little girls so be sure to check those out to.

Meet SutterSisters.

Since I started blogging, I have been very fortunate to meet many talented people who have started their own businesses with some incredible products.

I love supporting local businesses, finding shops with homemade products and using these amazing products in my home and for my children. 

One INCREDIBLY talented friend of mine owns one of said shops.

Meet Amelia of SutterSitters. 

Amelia and I went to school together in Sacramento.

This lady is seriously one of the most talented women I know.

She is a fireman's wife and mommy to one handsome boy and the most adorable twin girls. 

Bow Ties, Bibs, Headbands and her amazing Mocs are just a few children's accessories SutterSisters offers! 

I was spoiled by SutterSisters with a fabulous goodie bag of products to use and review! 

I seriously died when Amelia handed me this fabulously put together bag while I was home visiting last month. 

Of course I couldn't wait until I got home to break out the goods, so sweet little Hayden wore this adorable gold headband for our photo shoot we had with Baelee Michelle Photography while we were in Sacramento.

The material is great quality and the bow didn't leave a mark on Hayden's head like some bows do. 

What about this Gold Polka Dot Bow Headband? You all know the pink and gold kick I have been on since before Hayden was born and this headband just reminded me how much I love gold polka dots! 

We have also got a pair of Mocs that are still a little big for tiny miss Hayden's feet, but let me tell you these Mocs BELONG in her shoe collection.

The quality of these Mocs is incredible. 

The Mocs are made with a double lining of felt and a leather/suede sole. 

How gorgeous is this stunning color? 

Hayden has also worn the SutterSisters headwraps around the house and she LOVED them. 

How cute are these.

I NEED one for myself.

Again the pattern is awesome and the stretchy fabric allows the headwrap to fit perfectly around Hayden's tiny head.

I love that I can re-tie the knot on front to make it smaller for her now and bigger for her as she grows! 

-Right now SutterSisters is offering the Gold Bow Headband bundled with the Gold PolkaDot Bow Headband that Hayden wore for just $8.50

Two beautiful bow headbands for an incredible price for your little princess! 

You can find the Gold Bow Bundle Here.

-Also, starting today SutterSisters is launching 30 new bow designs and offering a discount for her feature on FordOlogy! 

How awesome for our readers?!?

Head over to SutterSisters Shop RIGHT NOW and order your bows and tons of other fabulous accessories! 

Thank you so much SutterSisters for sharing your fabulous products with miss Hayden.

We have loved the headbands and headwraps and are looking forward to the day those beautiful Mocs fit her little feet.

We will be customers for life!
