I know that it might sound crazy to be talking about back-to-school season, but with summer almost over (sniff sniff) I don’t want you to be left behind and not get in on the great deals being offered on school supplies…especially the one that I about to brag about!

I’ve been lucky enough to get my hands on a great collection that has been keeping me organized and maintaining my POSHness.  Seriously.  This new line of calendars (from desk pads to family calendars), planners, Shopping notes, Door Notes, Memo Notes and Grocery Checklist Pads are must-haves for your back to school planning and everyday use of your busy lifestyle!  Created by Blue Sky, a leading maker of dated planners and calendars, has partnered with notable paper designer Susan Connor of Susy Jack* Contemporary Paper.

“But I have an app for that!” you say, well, yes, while smart phones are also a must have for every busy mom, paper-based planners and calendars remain central to family organization.  Paper-based calendars are centrally located within a home/office with no technical expertise needed and will never crash due to a virus!

I immediately feel in love with the colorful designs and crisp, modern style.  The Blue Sky Home Series offers 14 different products, all under $10.

Now for more good news! A GIVEAWAY! Blue Sky has generously donated a set of these great planners and calendars for one lucky winner. See below on how to enter:

If your newborn is colicky, overtired or just need to feel “snug like a bug in a rug” a swaddle is your baby’s best friend, next to your womb. So, if you are looking for the perfect wrap for your ‘lil peanut, then look no further.

As a new mom, I’ve tried them all and just ended tossing them all away after my newborn would escape from it.  Come the morning, I would wake up to find one of his legs or arms sticking out from an opening,  I soon feared the risk of SIDS and tossed them all away.  But not until when my friends over at BabyBonkie Swaddle sent me a sample for a product review, I was completely sold.  And you know me, I wouldn’t be spreading the love for just any product.

The Baby Bonkie is safe to use and swaddles your ‘lil one in three easy steps.  It comes in a variety of thicknesses (you wouldn’t believe how soft the lining is), POSH patterns (just for you fashionable moms) with no room for escaping. And come the winter time or if your room is a little chilly, try the lined Baby Bonkie…see, so many options for you to try.

I gave it a test run on my 2 month old nephew and he absolutely loved it. His mom use it throughout the night and said that it was one his (and hers) best nights ever.  The Baby Bonkie is the first I have seen that is truly able to accommodate a baby from newborn (7 pounds) to 5 months of age.

If you are interested in buying a Baby Bonkie, it can bought at stores around the county in addition to Nordstrom’s, Saks’s, and Barney’s, etc. or via http://www.babybonkie.com.

And because I love YOU, my readers, I am giving away one (1) swaddle to the lucky winner (selected randomly)!  This is one giveaway that you must not pass up!

All you need to do is leave a comment on this post, how easy is that?! Plus you get another entry for tweeting about it – make sure you include @mommyposh with a mention of this giveaway and you’ll be in the running! That’s two ways of winning this must-have item.

Closing for entries is midnight on July 15th.  Good luck!
