Win a Free Pair of Shoes or Boots from Naturalizer.com!

Enter this giveaway to win a gift card redeemable for one pair of Naturalizer brand shoes or boots on the Naturalizer.com website! Naturalizer has been making comfortable, stylish, affordable footwear since 1927, and I’ve been wearing them since I was in my twenties. My feet are small but wide, and Naturalizer is one of the few brands I’ve always been able to count on to have a style available for whatever situation I needed.

I was excited when an opportunity to do a review for Naturalizer came up in MyBlogSpark, and it meant getting a free pair of shoes! I learned through the media materials that the reason Naturalizer shoes are so comfortable is “N5 Comfort –five distinctive features that provide flexibility, lightness, balance, softness and breathability in every step—so Naturalizer shoes feel as good at the end of the day as they do at the beginning” – which is true!

Naturalizer offers a variety of styles including tall boots, loafers, wedges, pumps, platforms, flats, booties and oxfords. The Fall Collection from Naturalizer has something for everyone in a broad range of sizes and widths, from sizes 4.5 to 12 with narrow, medium and wide widths in most styles. Naturalizer boots are also offered in Wide Shaft so women with fuller or athletic calves can find tall boots with a perfect fit.

Here’s a behind the scenes look at the making of the Fall Naturalizer catalog, which you can also find on the NaturalizerShoe YouTube Channel:


REVIEW: Naturalizer gave me a choice of several different pairs of shoes from their Fall Collection. I chose a pair of casual dress loafers they call “June“. They have a leather and patent leather upper, a round toe with stitching, and a top strap with a geometric cutout, plus it has the NS Comfort elements in the cushioned insole. They are so comfortable! The top part is a little more orange than it looks on the website, but they look fine with jeans and should look really good with khakis (I just need to get a pair!).

WIN IT: Enter to win a gift card good for one free pair of shoes or boots from Naturalizer.com! Open to U.S. only, enter by 11/10/11 at 12:01 a.m. EST. The winner will be chosen using the “And the Winner Is” plugin and notified by email. Shipping will be handled by MyBlogSpark, MomReviews is not responsible for lost or stolen prizes. Thanks for entering and good luck everybody!

Giveaway – Win 2 Dozen Assorted Snacks from Clif Kids, 2 Winners!

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winners, comment #8 from Amanda and comment #76 from Amy!

Edited to add: I’m thrilled that PRIZEY chose this giveaway as an Editor’s Pick! I list all my giveaways on PRIZEY and every once in a while they honor me by picking one of mine to give special promotion to on their site. I highly recommend PRIZEY as a place to list your giveaways!

Clif Bar‘s philosophy is that good food provides health, joy, and energy, and that food made right can make the world a better place. Their Clif Kid products are created to give kids fantastic tasting food with the nutrition they need for their active, growing bodies. When a package arrived from Clif with their organic ZBars and organic Twisted Fruit, my kids dove right in!

Clif Kid ZBars have no hydrogenated oils, no high fructose corn syrup, no preservatives, and no artificial flavors. What they DO have is 9 grams of whole grains, real fruit, organic ingredients, 12 essential vitamins and minerals, and six flavors that kids love!  The flavors are Blueberry, Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate Chip, Honey Graham, Peanut Butter, and S’Mores. Kaitlyn’s favorite is Chocolate Brownie!

Clif Kid Twisted Fruit is real fruit twisted into a thick rope, and each piece equals a serving of fruit! Made with organic fruit puree and juice, Twisted Fruit has no processed sugars, no artificial flavors or preservatives, and is an excellent source of Vitamin C. Moms want their kids to eat fruit, but sometimes it’s just too messy or hard to take on the go. Clif Kid Twisted Fruit is easy to eat and is great for a lunchbox or backpack! The six great flavors are Grape, Mixed Berry, Pineapple, Sour Apple, Strawberry, and Tropical Twist. Kaitlyn LOVES the Strawberry flavor and I have to admit, so do I!

Clif Kid ZBars and Twisted Fruit would make a delicious, fun, and healthy addition to an Easter Basket!

WIN IT: Two lucky MomReviews readers will EACH win Two Dozen Assorted Clif Kid Snacks!

    The Swilt Review and Giveaway (Ended)

    This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, comment #9 from Trish of Just The 6 Of Us!

    Sweater + Quilt = Swilt!  The Swilt is a super-cozy fleece lined sweatshirt with a hidden twist! The site calls it a sweater but to me it’s a sweatshirt because of the material. Either way, you get a thick outer garment with a front pocket, a hood, and a roomy fit that goes easily over a short or long sleeved shirt. The twist is that attached to the middle of the Swilt with two buckles is a warm blanket made of the same material, AND it even has a pocket for your feet!


    The Swilt is really a revolutionary product, like nothing else I’ve seen anywhere. I am ALWAYS cold, no matter the time of the year. When I sit on the couch to write a blog post or watch TV, I always have a blanket over my legs and feet. When I set up my work area down in our basement, I took a couple of blankets down with me so I could stay warm while I work down there. Thanks to the Swilt, I can stay warm downstairs, and if I need to run upstairs for something, my blanket comes with me!
    There are other “wearable blankets” on the market, the ones that have the built-in sleeves, but the Swilt is unique because it’s actually a wearable piece of clothing AND a blanket.  You get a thick, soft sweatshirt that will keep you warm any time, in Burgundy, Blue, Grey, and Camo. It comes in two sizes – Large, and “Smedium” which is bigger than small but smaller than medium. That’s the one I received for review and it fits perfectly.

    Unclip the buckles and down comes the blanket, and it also has a cool extra feature! At the bottom of the blanket is a foot pocket that is soft fleece inside and water resistant nylon on the outside. What’s great about that is while it keeps your feet warm, the nylon protects the bottom of the Swilt (and your feet!) from dirty floors at home or in the bleachers at your favorite sporting event. You can see it in the image at the top of the post.

    Want to try a Swilt for yourself or give one to someone special? Thanks to Mr. Tennelle, I get to give a Swilt away to a lucky MomReviews reader!

    WIN IT: One winner will receive a Swilt in their choice of size and color!
