  Baby Got Reflux? SAVE 20% off, Promo Code HWBLFYLE

     DaffaDoot Baby Reflux Wedge Pillow. For babies who frequently suffer from reflux or dramatically spit-up. It's a safe, sound baby reflux treatment. A sleeping wedge is a specialized device that fits in a baby's crib, either on top of or beneath the mattress. The baby is still on his or her back, however, with the wedge, they are gently elevated so their head and torso are higher than their stomach. This can keep some of the stomach acids from causing discomfort or spitting up overnight, which helps both the baby and the parents sleep better! What makes the DaffaDoot Reflux Wedge Pillow special: Many are packaged as a tightly rolled cylinder (about the size of a roll of paper towels) which can compress the foam and create a lumpy uneven surface. Other wedges are "foldable", which means that it's actually two smaller wedge pieces held together by a cover. In other words, it is split and can "gap" under baby. Foldable wedges are marketed as "convenient to store"... but this feature degrades its performance.  Which do you want? A wedge which best serves baby today or a wedge which is not the best but you can easily store it when it's no longer needed? Foldable wedges, since they are in multiple pieces, are also more likely to shift around. Our wedge is a single, stable, correctly sized piece with a non-skid bottom and a hypoallergenic, waterproof casing. The zipper is at the back of the wedge (to keep it well away from baby) and our foam is the perfect firmness (not too soft, not too hard). It meets and exceeds federal safety regulations. These regulations dictate that the wedge must extend the entire width of the crib mattress (27"). Anything else is not snug enough. We are using an eco-friendly zippered bag to package our wedge. This can be used to store your wedge in later, or as a blanket bag today. As a special product launch, we are offering a 20% discount on this product. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074BPBTTN Promo Code: CWEDGE20 (less) ... Read more

  Camp Pillsbury is an exciting, safe, fun, coed overnight summer camp for kids ages 6-17.

     It is a unique sleep over camp in Minnesota that provides over 100 activities to choose from. No matter what each child's interests are, they are certain to find activities that not only fascinate them, but help build their character, self-esteem and confidence. Camp Pillsbury offers its campers the chance to fly on the trapeze, participate in musical theater, team sports (such as basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball), learn magic tricks, go horseback riding, tumble, dance, and play an instrument - all in the same day! Because each camper chooses the activities they participate in, they are spending their day with campers who share the same interests, helping form stronger bonds with new friends. The programs and classes we offer put an emphasis on activities that today's kids gravitate to. Camp Pillsbury offers Circus Arts, Rock Band, Musical Theater, Dance, Fine Arts and Crafts, Technology/Digital Arts & Multimedia, Team Sports, Individual Sports, Magic, Water Sports, Extreme Sports, Horseback Riding, Orchestra, Woodworking, Vocal Ensembles, Cheer, Gymnastics, Role Playing Games, Archery, Weightlifting, and much more. Our fully elective program allows campers to select all of their favorite activities and to also try new ones within our established daily schedule. Campers have the opportunity to develop existing skills and explore new interests. Every program and activity is open to all age groups and all skill levels where we meet each child's individual needs and respect their individuality. Our day is comprised of 6 one hour periods; three Majors and three Minors. Majors are taken at the same time each day with the same staff and campers and is an activity that each camper has chosen to learn more about, get better at and be in the end of session show or exhibition. Campers choose three Minors each day that they can try once or repeat as often as they like. This allows campers plenty of opportunity to try new activities they have never been exposed to before. Campers thrive, building on existing interests and developing new ones. They flourish and excel in the areas they become passionate about and self-confidence soars. They become better singers, dancers, actors, athletes, artists, musicians and even students. Camp Pillsbury is helping kids from all over the world be successful through programs led by experts in a unique camp environment. Our campers learn from the best to be the best. They also form friendships that last a lifetime. Campers sleep in dorms and will be provided with great food, fun and friends throughout the summer. (less) ... Read more

     From Nobles to Douglas', to Grands, Frasers and Nordmann's--our trees were grown to be Christmas Trees! We were planted on an enchanted tree farm to be enjoyed by a family at Christmas. During our growing years we were fertilized, pruned and cared for; this is why we have perfect shapes and lush growth. Throughout our growing years we cleaned the air, provided oxygen, protected the water supply and made a home for wildlife. We also beautified a once barren landscape. Now we need a home and the good people at Enchanted Country Christmas Trees will find us a family. When I am cut another tree will be planted in my place.

  Teddy Bear Mobile was not a business when it was initially envisioned. It was an opportunity for giving back to the community, and as you will repeatedly see throughout this site and in conversation, to "Make Kids Smile." In 10 + years thousands of animals have been and continue to be handed to children without holiday gifts and those undergoing treatment of serious illnesses. At one such event, a mother asked if we could come to her home to stuff and customize animals for her daughter's birthday party. She was tired of the same party year after year. After a successful party and several referrals that came from it, Teddy Bear Mobile became a business. The revenue allowed for much more charitable giving and we remain a treasured guest at many hospitals events. As Teddy Bear Mobile gained more local success, the team decided that giving back and bringing smiles to children's faces should not be confined to one town. The Teddy Bear Mobile training methodology was born! (less) ... Read more
