I HEART White Noise

If you don’t know how much I love white noise, bless your heart, you must be a new reader.  I love it because it has solved many a sleeping issue for my family.  When we had Rebekah and Luke, we had to learn to sleep through unimportant, yet incredibly annoying noises, while still be attentive to baby noises.  It was a tricky balance and one that caused me much stress and loss of sleep.  I lay awake, anticipating and dreading any noise, wondering if I would ever fall asleep or sleep soundly.  That’s when we started using white noise, and we eventually shifted to portable sound machines for when we roomed the kids together, traveled, or had to nap our kids elsewhere for any reason, such as Sunday lunch at a friend’s house.

In the last year, we’ve been to Germany, the States, Paris, London, and all over Scotland.  So, okay, we may travel more than the average family, but most people travel at least a little…right?  And when you travel, sleep is frequently in jeopardy, especially when children are involved.  Why not travel with a portable sleep aid?  One that will benefit all of you- because when your kids sleep well, so do you!

I’ve shared my love for white noise, so now I’d like to share something else with you: a give-away!!!

Sound Oasis Travel Give-Away!

Sound Oasis Travel System

I have the pleasure of giving away a Sound Oasis Travel White Noise Therapy System (value $90!)! It’s one of my favorite sound machines because it’s small and lightweight, yet still retains the same effective sound coverage the larger machines provide.  Plus, the Sound Oasis offers17  high-quality nature sounds {I love the bamboo sound!}, a jet lag reduction sound {a very soothing sound to lull you into a peaceful sleep}, an alarm clock feature {which is backlit}, and just about all the adapters you would need for traveling around the world {which are compact and lightweight themselves- even Josh commented how much liked their design!}!  The whole package is 2 pounds and the machine itself is smaller than the length of a ball point pen- an easy addition to your purse, carry-on, or even your pocket.

In addition to the Sound Oasis Travel White Noise Therapy System, I am also giving away several lifetime subscriptions to the upgraded version of a fabulous online white noise generator (a $15 value)!  This upgrade allows you to customize (and save) a state of the art white noise generator on your computer and even share the application with another computer.  It provides a peaceful background noise while you work , catch up online, or kick up your feet to relax.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Leave a comment= 1 entry.
2. Post about this give-away and link directly to this post and the Travel Oasis Sound Machine= 2 entries.
3. Try out the free version of the white noise generator next time you blog and then write a short review at the site= 3 entries. {see below for my sample review}
4. Post the same review on your blog, also linking to the generator= 4 entries.

{You must leave the appropriate comments for each entry to get credit for them.}

You have until Sunday night (my Monday morning) to enter.

Tip: Seriously, writing a review is super-easy: just try out the generator and write what you like (or don’t like) about it.  Be brief and be honest.  The good people at Speech Privacy Systems {who are solid believers in Christ, by the way!} are giving away one Sound Oasis Travel Machine, but are willing to give away up to 5 (maybe more!) *lifetime subscriptions for the upgraded generator based on well-written and/or creative reviews!

Example of a review:

I use white noise in each bedroom for my kids to sleep through each other’s noise and street noise.  Even though they’re portable, I still like to use this generator when I work because it’s right here on my computer at my fingers’ touch.  I love that this generator can be customized to my personal preferences because I like different sounds for when I’m working versus when I’m relaxing.  Those changes can be saved  for future use, too.  I also love the rolling nature images that you can enlarge.  There’s something extremely relaxing about running water and nature scenes that put me at ease every time.

*Note this subscription lasts as long as they are able to offer the product.  In the event of a world disaster, you would no longer be entitled to the subscription.  Just sayin’.

Disclaimer: I was given a free subscription to the online generator, as well as a Travel Oasis Sound Machine, to conduct this review and host the accompanying give-away.  All opinions are definitely my own, though.  I am not bought that easily.  ;)
