Birthday Bash Day 4: Franklin Goose

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*





As you may know, I am a huge fan of all things green, natural, and eco-friendly. That is why I'm beyond excited to bring you today's giveaway.

Franklin Goose is a company intent on providing a one-stop-shop for organic and eco-friendly products for baies and children. In a world where so many mainstream toys are harmful to your family, they are committed to bringing you the very best. From the site:

Our commitment to you:

Feeding: We will not stock materials made with BPA, Phthalate or PVC. For food items we will only stock organic foods.

Toys & Activity: These products will be natural, organic, or made of recycled materials. Paint will be lead free. We will carry no electronic or synthetic toys.

Health: We will carry no synthetic fillers, preservatives, heavy metals, dyes, parabens, DEA, TEA, DMDM, benzonates, artificial colors, artificial fragrances, toluenes, phthalates, triclosan, quaternium 15, or nitrates. No animals can be harmed during testing.

Clothing: Only organic or natural materials. No artificial colors.

Diapers: Only organic, natural, biodegradable, or made from recycled materials.

Furniture: No lead, phthalates, formaldehydes, or unnatural fire-retardants. Natural materials only.

Cleaning & Laundry: No bleach, no synthetic fragrances, no phosophourus, and no phthalates. Chemicals should be natural or closely related.

I am really impressed with the variety and selection they offer. From books and toys to mattresses and sheets, furniture, clothing, feeding accessories, and more.



We had the opportunity to try out the Prince Lionheart Balance Bike. I have been interested in the product for a while, because it boasts being able to teach your child how to balance on a bike so that they can transition to a two-wheeled pedal bike without the need for training wheels. Mason isn't exactly the most graceful child (that might be an understatement...) so I also hoped that it would help out with his general coordination and balance.

It's been raining quite a bit, so we haven't had a chance to try the bike out at the park. However, we have been practicing inside, (I'm a fun mom!) and also on the sidewalk when there's a break in the rain. At first Mason was skeptical, especially of the fact that there are no pedals. But over time he has been getting more and more used to the idea of the bike, and is also getting better at staying up straight!

Here are just a few more things you will find.
