Cool Monday Giveaway!

Of all the decisions, big and small, I’ve made over the past year about how to best care for my son, one of the things I’ve been most consistent about from the beginning is using safe products on his skin. When you have a newborn baby, you rethink what it means to be slathering lotions and washes full of chemicals on one’s body.— Yet, you still need to clean and moisturize your little one! So I’ve looked for baby products that are made with care and without potentially harmful ingredients.

One of the brands that I’ve come to really like is Jenerations Baby.

Created by a mom who has been a hairstylist and salon owner for over 14 years, their products are organic and free of harmful chemicals (so 100% sulfate- and paraben-free). It’s so in-demand it was even included in the celebrity gift bags at the Oscars!

This week we’re giving away a set of Jenerations shampoo/body wash and lotion to a lucky reader. To enter to win it, follow this blog by signing up for its free newsletter using the box on the top right of this page. (Anyone who is already following “Born & Bred” can participate as well.)

To increase your chances of winning, leave a comment under one of this blog’s previous posts, “like” one of our posts on Facebook, or Retweet one of our posts–and indicate you’ve done so in your email. Good luck!

Camp Lee Mar

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">A private 7 week residential summer program offering a unique curriculum incorporating a strong Academic and Speech program with traditional camp activities. Our campers flourish at Lee Mar due to the structured environment we provide which allows our campers to feel comfortable and secure. Careful study is made of parent input, school (IEPs), camper interview, etc., so that the interests and needs of each child can best be determined for suitable grouping prior to the camper arriving. At Lee Mar the children find comfort and friendship with children of similar age and functioning level. From this foundation we encourage our campers to embrace and learn new skills and have new experiences which they can build upon on their return home. We also focus on building friendships which last throughout the year, as well as learning how to cope with the dynamics of group situations. Development of the whole child is our goal. We work hard at improving the daily living, social, and life skills of our campers, while giving them the happiest summer of their lives!</span></p>
