Due to personal reasons and a growing photography business, Lolidots is not longer blogging, running giveaways or doing product reviews. There are tons of other great giveaway blogs out there though! Thanks to my fans for 2 years of awesome support and a lot of fun!


You can find my photography and photography blog (that I try hard to keep up with) at brosgrafix.com and facebook.com/brosgrafix

KidSwitch - Must Have Toddler Product

Posted by Robin . on Friday, April 22, 2011, In : Gear for Kids 
Independence is something that toddlers tend to crave. As my kids became toddlers, there were a lot of little things I did in order to help them become more independent and feel like they were able to do things on their own. It doesn't just help them. It also helps a busy mom to free up a few more minutes in her day. One task that I know many moms will recognize as something they do repeatedly during the day for their toddler is turning on and off lights. In our home, it's the bathroom light ...

Scrappynaps - Reusable Fabric Placemats and Napkins

Posted by Robin . on Thursday, April 14, 2011, In : Gear for Kids 
Whether you're dining out, at home or enjoying the lovely Spring weather with an outdoor picnic, I have a fantastic product I came across recently that you've got to check out!

Scrappynaps are reusable kid placemats made out of adorable fabric that conveniently hold a matching napkin and utensil set. They are made by a mom who understands the desire to help teach our kids be eco-friendly while giving them things that they love to use. The placemats and napkins come in a variety of patt...

Pocket Parents

Posted by Robin . on Wednesday, March 23, 2011, In : Gear for Kids 
As parents, easing our children's fears and anxieties is something we all want to do. Whether your child has only experienced missing you for a brief time or suffers from severe separation anxiety, it's painful knowing that they are upset. I remember being away at camp as a child or simply staying the night at a friend's house and having those homesick pangs. My own children are like night and day. My son is apt to experience quite a bit of separation anxiety, especially from his "best buddy"...

VTech V.Reader Gift Card

Posted by Robin . on Thursday, January 13, 2011, In : Gear for Kids 
Several months ago my kids received an educational toy that is so awesome that I have absolutely been recommending it to everyone I know who has kids. The VTech V.Reader Interactive E-Reading System is more than a toy. It's books and games and reading and learning and entertainment and fun all rolled into one. Kids can watch stories come alive as they enjoy fully animated books with narration, character voices, amazing graphics on a large screen. They can interact with their stories, learn to...

Stickey Cup GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, In : Gear for Kids 
Sponsored by Tomoson.com
Whoever made up the saying "Don't cry over spilled milk" never had a toddler spill milk all over their laptop.

It can be quite a challenge to keep drinks from spilling when there are little ones around. Even sippy cups and bottles spray when knocked over. Don't let those "no spill" lids fool you. Those droplets that spray out of the spout can still stain. And, who wants to be embarrassed in the restaurant when the baby knocks your drink all over the couple next to you?...

Stonz Wear Booties GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Tuesday, December 7, 2010, In : Gear for Kids 
We don't live where it snows. But, it gets cold and sometimes the cold weather can also get nasty. It's bad enough to dress myself to keep warm and dry on those cold, slushy, wet days. Those are the days that you hope you don't need to go anywhere because it can be difficult to keep the kids warm and dry. And, let's face it, kid shoes can be expensive. Who wants to see them ruined by the slushy water?

I'm not the only mom who feels that way and, luckily, a Canadian mom came up with an amazing...

KinderGlo Night Lights GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Monday, November 29, 2010, In : Gear for Kids 
My daughter only recently started to voice an aversion to the darkness of her room at night. She's three and I was surprised she was never bothered by a dark room. Well, that all changed and we were left scrambling to find the perfect night light. We found one and now it's the one I recommend to everyone I know who has a small child.

KinderGlo night lights are fun, safe and portable. Everything about them is absolutely perfect. KinderGlo night lights come in fun shapes that kids love, have a ...

Applied Labels GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Monday, November 15, 2010, In : Gear for Kids 
Now that my son is in school, I have so many things to label with his name. His lunchbox, backpack, jackets, shoes and so much more need labels so that when he inevitably loses them, they won't be lost forever. I tried some sticky labels from the store and they either didn't stick or stuck halfway and just didn't work quite right. Plus, they weren't cute at all. Luckily, I've found the solution and the new labels I'm using are absolutely fantastic.

Whether you are labeling school supplies, da...

Tangled GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Monday, November 1, 2010, In : Gear for Kids 
Isn't it funny how there are some things that you fall in love with as a child and, no matter how old you get, the love never fades? I would bet that, like me, most of you fell in love with Disney as kids. Now that we are adults, that love can continue to grow as we watch our children's eyes light with joy at anything that Disney offers us. Luckily for all of us, Disney is ready to make us all insanely happy yet again as we file into theaters this fall for the new movie Tangled.

You know the s...

Myself Belts GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Tuesday, September 21, 2010, In : Gear for Kids 
Whether you are potty training or sending a young child off to school, belts can be a hassle for the child and a worry for the parent. I know that when I was school shopping for my son, I took care to buy shorts that had elastic waistbands so that we wouldn't have to deal with the hassle of belts. With fall approaching and jeans on the horizon, he's going to be wearing belts soon. Thanks to Myself Belts, not only will he be able to easily fasten his belt, he'll be rockin' his style every day....

Little Looster GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Posted by Robin . on Monday, September 6, 2010, In : Gear for Kids 
My daughter is potty training. It's definitely going better than it did in the beginning days of trying to potty train my son but, no potty training is a cake walk. There are so many decisions we make as parents trying to potty train our kids. Will we use pull-ups or underwear? Will we give stickers or candy? Will we have the patience to make it through?! A big choice is deciding whether or not to use the regular toilet. A lot of parents opt for the small toilets because it's just easier for ...

Have you ever had to clean up a bunch of toddler snacks? Ever had to vaccum a car you just cleaned out because there are hundreds of cheerios freshly spilled on the ground? Ever had to pull out the vaccum cleaner for the umpteenth time in one day because, yet again, there are cookie crumbs all over the floor?

Then, you definitely need a Munchie Mug!


I love these mugs! Normally, when I hear "spill-resistant" as a description of something having to do with children, I ...

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED

School is back in session. With that comes lots of school shopping, extracurricular activities, homework, talent shows and, among other things, lost items. You know that, no matter your child's age or grade, it is an inevitable fact that they will lose some of their belongings while out of your care and watchful eye. Instead of spending time and money to replace all of the items that your child may donate to the Lost and Found box, check out this company!

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
One lucky reader will win a MediBuddy of their choice from Me4Kidz!

My kids are very accident prone. Snappy constantly has scrapes on her knees and she reacts to mosquitos like I do: badly. We aren't always (or ever, it seems) at home when booboos happen. The MediBuddy from Me4Kidz is perfect for us!
