Check out this auction by the Oasis for an adorable wardrobe on eBay right now.  Ten designers have come together and donated their time and talent to create this totally cute wardrobe for some lucky girl.  The wardrobe consists of more than 15 pieces (including hair accessories, jewelry, and shoes!) and features fabrics from Michael Miller’s Orchid Spa line.

The really great thing about this is that every penny from the auction is going to the National Down Syndrome Congress!

How can you pass up a chance to outfit your little girl in this adorable, one-of-a-kind, boutique wardrobe when you know 100% of the money made will be benefitting this worthwhile charity?

The listing ends on March 28th, the clothing items are size 4/5, and shipping is FREE!  Check it out! 

SOOO CUTE!!!

Because Mamaslike gets so many requests for product reviews and Angie and Dawn can only do so many a week, we’ve roped another mom into writing reviews asked another mom to write reviews with us.   This way we’ll be able to bring attention to more products each week.

I want to introduce Mamaslike’s newest mama, Melissa!  Melissa lives in Connecticut with her husband and two girls, Emily (10) and Charlotte (4).  She comes to us with tons of experience as she’s a professional writer for Business New Haven, New Haven magazine, The New Haven Register, and the Loudoun Easterner in Virginia.  Melissa throws an awesome party, is addicted to kitchen gadgets and, much like me, doesn’t have much to say before her first cup of coffee.  Hmmm, this is starting to sound like an intro for The Dating Game!  - She likes long walks along the beach, kittens, and snuggling in front a cozy fire.  LOL! Sorry Melissa!

Melissa is perfect for this job because, not only is she an accomplished writer, but she also likes “stuff” and is looking forward to discovering and reviewing new products.  Welcome aboard, Melissa!!!

Lauren at Sunthings Charming has found a way to bring awareness to skin cancer and help promote skin protection.  A former science teacher, Lauren uses UV detecting beads to make her beaded chains, Turner Tags, that can be attached to keys, strollers, diaper bags, or baby slings (out of reach of baby).  These beads turn colors when exposed to UV light, alerting you to get out of the sun, apply sunscreen, or cover up exposed skin. 

I personally think this is a great idea.  You’d be surprised at how many UV rays come through even on overcast days.  My middle son has Vitiligo (an autoimmune disease that destroys the pigment in his skin causing white patches that burn within a couple minutes of sun exposure.)  Lauren not only ships the handmade beaded chain, but she also includes information from the Skin Cancer Foundation and a single, individual bead to test out your sunscreen.  Coat the bead with  your sunblock.  If the bead changes color in UV light, then you need a stronger sunscreen.

You can completely customize your Turner Tag!  Pick out the color beads and the charm you’d like and Lauren will make it up for you.  Email Lauren through her contact information page and put ”free tag” in the subject line.  She will pick the winning name a week after the review is posted.  You can go ahead and place your order now and she’ll reimburse you if you’re the winner of the free tag.  And just for Mamaslike readers, get 10% off your order by using coupon code “MamasLike” at check out.

Because of previous advertising agreements, I can’t write too much about my vacation on my other blog. I’d like to share the details though, so I’m writing about it here. The nice folks at Discovery Cove in Orlando are flying my family down to Florida, putting us up in a nice hotel, sending us to Discovery Cove to swim with the dolphins, letting us spend the day at Sea World, and basically giving us the royal treatment! I don’t think we could ever in a million years afford a vacation like this and the kids are all thrilled! Oh, who am I kidding? It’s not just the kids. We’re ALL so excited! I’ll take lots of pictures and update on this site when I can.

Off to finish packing now…
