Jack's Choice Amber Necklace Spotlight & Review

I was sent an Amber Teething Necklace for review from Jack's Choice. Jack's Choice is owned and operated by Staci, Jack's Mom. She is one of our retailers who carries some other great products in her store like therapeutic jewelry, cloth diaper accessories & bath items.




When I first started learning about amber necklaces, I'll admit, I was a little skeptical about if they would really work. I'd been searching for an alternative to oral gel & anti inflammatories; since I know there are side effects to them & they don't last very long anyways. 




Well, I have found the best alternative ever! At first, I noticed that she wasn't quite as whiny & crabby has she had been. We kept it on her for a week, only taking it off for bathing and sleeping. It was amazing how her demeanor was changing and becoming less ornery. I wondered if she was going through one of those weeks where her teeth were giving her a break; so, I took a look inside at the end of the first week.




Do you want to know what I noticed at the end of the week? Of course you do, that's why you're reading this right? ;) Well, I found a molar!! With my first daughter, the molars were horrorific; but, nothing compared to her I-teeth. I was shocked that the baby was so calm and nice while that molar was breaking through. 




She has since had all 4 molars break through & 3 I-teeth. She is at the point where she is starting to say a ton of stuff; so, if we forget to put it on her she asks for her necklace. In fact, she wasn't wearing it at all before her first nap today; but, when she woke up she was in a ton of pain in her mouth. She kept saying, 'I hurt' while pointing to her teeth.  When I got her necklace she got super excited and laughed. Its amazing that it takes only a minute for her to be out of pain while wearing it.We haven't had to use Oral Gel or any other med for her since we started using our Jack's Choice Amber Teething Necklace.



Here is the baby showcasing the amber necklace ;)

Mom's Crochet Corner Spotlight & Review

Heather from Mom's Crochet Corner has a real talent for making super cute crochet photo props! She is a stay at home mom who started crocheting because her sister in law had a need for cute photo props. I really like that about her! Its so nice to meet & support other women who are in the process of supporting women & people that have a need! I haven't seen any of her sister in law's photos; but, I am sure that any of them that feature Heather's work are adorable!

I was sent 3 pieces from her shop & I am so in love with them! I have been very impressed with her craftsmanship & originality. I've never seen a peacock or Aladdin set before. She has several other unique designs in her shop. Each of the pieces that she sent were very well constructed and oh so adorable. They also come with care and washing instructions which I think is super important when it comes to anything made out of yarn! Anything that you buy from Mom's crochet corner will be amazing & I am sure that you will love it as much as I do :)


Here is the unique and adorable peacock set:


I just love the plumage in this set!



She also made this adorable Aladdin Set:


Its so hard not to imagine your little one in something so cute!



I decided that my favorite is her Hungry Caterpillar set:


I love that Heather's caterpillar body has indents in it just like a real caterpillar does!




You can buy your own photo prop sets or hats from Mom's Crochet Corner here. Our readers have been given this special code to receive 15% off your entire order! The code is good until July 1, 2012. Be sure to tell Heather how much you love her work when you order!
