Baby Mantra
Driven by their passion for a healthy lifestyle, Baby Mantra was founded by Nupoor and Vinnie, two sisters committed to a natural and organic lifestyle. A deep appreciation for natural skin care was ingrained in them at a very young age as their mother relied greatly on the use of all-natural home-based remedies growing up. This not only enriched them with an incredibly healthy lifestyle but also gave them great passion for all things natural. It was only “natural” that they would utilize the same techniques when they had children of their own. It was at that moment, Baby Mantra was born.
Made in the U.S.A from only top quality all-natural and organic ingredients, Baby Mantra hosts an entire product line of baby lotions, baby oils, Mommy Body butter, shampoo & body wash all tested and approved by Nupoor and her beautiful baby girls. These products safeguard baby soft skin by forming a natural barrier to lock in moisture and guarantee soft, supple, healthy skin for years to come. With such phenomenal results, we simply could not resist sharing this lush line of products to all the caring mothers & beautiful babies of the world! As we grow our product line to meet the needs of all mothers & babies who also value natural living, we invite you to follow our blog regularly for product updates, tips for mom & baby, and other related news. We hope our story can inspire others to teach their children the value of natural living and that future generations can benefit from a natural lifestyle.http://babymantra.com/

Please visit Ms. Joy's blog at: 10SecondsForMom.Blogspot.com
Well
my name is Joy and I am a wife and stay at home mother of 4 children. I decided
to start blogging because I also like to coupon, cook and crochet. I started
out with Youtube videos. But I didn’t always want to be on camera and just
wanted to get my feeling out on paper/computer and that is where blogging came
about.
I
chose 10 Seconds For Mom because this is what I am always telling my kids when
they ask me something "Give Me 10 Seconds". I like to read and write
articles on health and fitness, cooking, organizing, crafts and Money
Management. The money part is the one I get asked about the most because I do
not work, my husband does and I still can maintain a healthy and productive
lifestyle (while on a budget) for my family.
I
did not start my Blog until Jan 4, 2014 and it is blossoming. I could not be
happier. I am always willing to promote Non-Profits, and Small Home Based
Business. Especially those ran by women. But I will help out with any business
no matter who runs it.
If
you have any questions Please feel free to contact me on 10SecondsForMom.Blogspot.com

Pen & Pencil Drive!!!!!!!!
Hello, can you imagine going to
school each day with no writing utensils like pens and pencils? Many children in
Jamaica experience this on a daily basis because their parent(s) cannot afford
to purchase these basic items. Mr. Peter Lewis remember this all to well when he
was attending school in Jamaica. His parents were so poor that they would cut
one pencil into three pieces so that he and his siblings would have something to
write with! He remembered when his Mom tied a string around his little pencil
and attached it to pants so that he wouldn't loose it!
Now
is he on a mission to help the schools in Jamaica by collecting pen, pencils,
erasers, pencil sharpeners, highlighters and electric pencil sharpeners! He
will accept new and used pencils!
Please help him
send these items to the schools in Jamaica, near the end of August! If you would
like to participate in collecting these items please contact me at bcook829@gmail.com

We Need Your Help!
Bundle of Joy Family Services assist many families in the
city of Richmond, Henrico and other localities with diapers, clothing, coats,
baby furniture etc., but we cannot do this by ourselves. We want to help as
many Moms as we can with car seats, diapers, wipes and other items that an
infant will need once they leave the hospital.
We’re asking that our community will assist us by doing
fundraisers like collecting change/money, diapers, wipes, clothing etc. A car
seat for a baby can cost around $100.00 or less; we do
not want money to cause us not to be able to help those Moms who really need
our help!
For more fundraising information please contact Ms. Barbara
Cook at bundleofjoy829@gmail.com
We thank you for your help in advance!
