Giveaway: Safety 1st Car Seat

Safety 1st Holidays Car Seat Giveaway

Hosted by:  Confessions of a Messy Mama

Sponsor:  Safety 1st

Here are some tips from Safety 1st to help you survive the holidays:

“According to AAAnofollow last year 94.5 million people were on the roads, train tracks or in the skies during the holiday season.  That’s a lot of people! Then add your own kids into the mix of congestion and for some it can mean holiday headaches.  However, Safety 1stnofollow has some tips to help fight some of those headaches this season.

1.      Avoid peak travel days –Try not to fly or drive the days immediately before and after the actual holiday.  Those are the busiest travel days. However, if you fly or take a train you might save money by traveling on the actual holiday, the roads are less congested too.

2.      Prepare your child for the trip – Holiday parties can be overwhelming with sensory overload.  Especially for young children it’s good to talk about the upcoming trip days even weeks in advance.  This will help him or her get excited about the journey.  Show photos of family members or friends your child has not met yet, this way the new face might be a little familiar on arrival.

3.      “Are we there yet?” - To help avoid that dreaded phrase an hour into your six hour trip reserve a bag just for the kids, include books, toys, diapers a change of clothes and snacks.  Pre-load a tablet or smartphone with kid friendly apps or games. If you are driving keep all necessary items such as wipes, hand sanitizer or tissues easy to reach in a second – there are times you may not want to be digging through the bottom of a bag for such items. The Safety 1st Car Door Sanitation Stationnofollow is a great solution.

Make Your Thanksgiving Feast a Little Bit Brighter

  

     Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Edible Arrangements, all opinions are my own.

Transition your Thanksgiving table with festive yet edible centerpieces. Most of your guests will arrive before the food is done, so give them something to nibble on while they wait. You’ll want the table to look pretty, so why not add in a centerpiece that’s beautiful AND practical as well?

                

Edible Arrangements has the perfect go-to Thanksgiving centerpieces in a variety of prices, so there’s something for everyone. They have baskets filled with a cornucopia of fruit and chocolate that the whole family will enjoy! The beautifully arranged fruit dipped chocolate is fresh, delightful, and looks so much better as a centerpiece than flowers do.

                    

Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be stuffy or strictly proper. Remember it’s a day to spend with the ones you love and giving thanks. It should be fun and inviting, and your guests will appreciate all that you’ve done. It doesn’t matter if your Thanksgiving festivities are formal, modern, or traditional- Edible Arrangements will fit in any scheme of decor. These are just as useful as they are delicious.



I love that they combine harvest-hued colors mixed with chocolate leaves & a variety of fruit. Thanksgiving decoration ideas are just as bountiful as the thanks we are giving this season. You can combine an edible arrangement with traditional autumn decorations, like faux-painted pumpkins and colorful fall leaves.


                  
Does your family enjoy sitting around watching Football while they eat? Do you already have some football decorations already in place for the big day? Why not add to it with this amazing Touchdown Delight Edible Arrangements piece?



These arrangements would also make amazing centerpieces for the kids tables. You know they’re always trying to sneak into the snacks before eating time, so let them. Give them the option of nibbling on something healthy while they wait for the Turkey and sides to be completed. They’ll love it and it won’t ruin their dinner.



Even if you aren’t the one hosting the dinner this year, bring a gift. Hostess Gifts are much appreciated. When someone invites you to their home to celebrate with them; whether family or friend show your appreciation. You could bring something for just the hostess, such as the picture above. Or you could give a full centerpiece that all the guests could enjoy, your call.

SOHO Beauty: Check Meow-T Front Pocket Weekender

Disclosure: Items mentioned in this post were for review purposes only. Opinions are completely honest and 100% my own.

Travel is easy and super trendy with SOHO Beauty’s Check Meow-T Weekender Bag. I love SOHO Beauty’s edgy, unique, and sharply chic designs. I have an endless collection of beauty & makeup supplies and appreciate being able to take them along.

I’ve tried other travel/organization bags, but SOHO is my absolute favorite. Nothing compares to the quality and design of SOHO. SOHO is known for their mix of fashion-forward, hot, trendy design choices and mixed materials. Whether you’re looking for animal prints or bold colors- SOHO is definitely something you should check out.

              

I was sent the Check Meow-T weekender, which I absolutely adore. This bag is a classic leopard print punk style bag for Leader of the Pack status. This bag is hands-down the BEST makeup organization bag I’ve ever owned (and I’ve owned my fair share). Not only the design makes it an A+, but the fact that the inside can easily be wiped down.

 

This weekender is the go-to way to travel, and the only way to travel in my opinion. I’ve had so many bags fail me that it was nice to have one I can depend on. Makeup can be a very messy problem should it spill, and having the ability to just wipe down the insides with a wash-cloth makes it 10x better. I don’t have to wash the entire bag and wonder if the vinyl is going to split like I’ve done with other cosmetic bags.

I am LOVING the design as I said before.If I had to customize a weekender, I would make this bag for sure. I am super into animal prints, and I love the added studs and zipper. They give it a more modernized punk/edge look that I like. The studs and zipper accentuate the bag, making it Not to mention the zipper is super amazing. It is larger than most zippers and doesn’t snag or hesitate EVER. 

Unzip to reveal one clear-zip pocket perfect for full-size bottles as well as larger compacts and one slip pocket ideal for smaller necessities. It has a front pocket that allows for easy access to frequently used items, and durable handles for easy toting. Made of easy-wipe poly-fiber and metal studs.

 

I am in love with this bag. I don’t even use anything at home other than this bag. Why should I? I just keep my essentials in this bag. Everything is easy to see, easy to sort, and right where I need it when the time comes.

                         

The handles are super thick and just the right size. It isn’t too wide or too thin. Fits right on my shoulder without any hassles. It doesn’t slip off, which happens when straps are too thick. It’s comfortable and doesn’t cut into my shoulders either, which makes it an A+ in my book! There are absolutely NO cons about this bag!

It's the cat's meow! SOHO's weekender bag is just what you need to store all of your toiletries and make-up essentials on a long weekend trip. The bag has a convenient carrying handle, a full zip closure and compartments with zippers on the inside to safely store your items.

• Interior Features: Lined

• Closure Style: Zip Closure

• Dimensions: 9.0 " H x 12.0 " W x 5.0 " D
