Since then I’ve worked with many awesome sponsors on reviews and giveaways, “met” so many wonderful bloggers, learned so much about living greener, and learned a lot about myself too.
I want to thank all of my readers, sponsors, networks, and fellow bloggers for their continuous support. I would especially like to thank the following: Kailani at An Island Life, CanCan at Mom Most Traveled, Trisha at MomDot, Renee at Cutie Booty Cakes, Kathleen at Katydid and Kid, Cecelia at Cool Baby Kid, and Leah at Bookieboo.
If I’ve forgotten anyone, I apologize. I blame it on my absent-minded mommy brain.
To celebrate my first blogiversary, there will be 4 weeks of great giveaways in the Sage and Savvy Spectacular, which begins today!
Thank you again for your support throughout the year!

Well you are welcome! Glad I could be of service!
You have worked so hard this year (and had a new baby, too)! Your blog has really grown and you should be proud of all you have accomplished in such a short time!

Congrats on one year of blogging! Happy Blogiversary! My favorite product from all of your giveaways was the Lexen Healthy Juicer, which I really wanted. (I ended up buying one myself, though.) Here's to another great year of blogging =)

Congratulations on your first year! That is really great.
My favorite product featured was Douglas Cuddle Toys. Now I want one.
Congratulations and thank you for celebrating by giving away more products !
My fave was the Exergen Temporal Scanner thermometer. A very close second was Douglas Toys.
Happy anniversary and many more!
Great job all year long ~ Congratulations! I just loved your LunchBots review!
The Lunchbots review really made me think about what kind of containers I was using for my family. Thank you for sharing and making me aware of these important health issues.
Once again congrats on a great year of blogging:) I really liked your review on Green Toys as that is something that I have found hard to come by with starting to register for baby items since my baby shower is just around the corner. I am still getting familiar with different green brands, so I was glad to have seen your post. I just wish the products could be a little cheaper, but I understand why they are what they are.
I also really LOVED the review on the Ergo Baby Carrier. I have heard so many great things about it, but it is always nice to get more reviews on it before purchasing it. I really hope someone gets it for me at my shower, if not I will be getting it myself since I have already tried one on and love it:)
And last but not least I can't forget the review on Dagoba Organic Chocolate since I am a sucker for anything sweet especially chocolate. And since I love it so much, I definitely try to go for the organic stuff, so thank you again for your review. Although, now that I think about it, I never did try that brand:) Guess I'm headed to the store now, lol:)
Congratulations! My favorite product featured was the Exergen Temporal Scanner Thermometer. Even if I didn't win, I found out a lot of information about it and hope to buy one soon! Thanks for all your good giveaways.
Congratulations and I wish you continued success.
My favorite recview was your Firefly toothbrush. We have bought a few of these and it has really taken the hassel out of getting the kids to brush their teeth. They even made sure we packed them when we went to visit Grandpa. Thank you so much.
Congratulations!!! I would have to say my favorite review you did would have to be on Happy Green Bee. I've become such a fan of their clothing and turned my BF and new mommy onto their line as well.
Good job & Congrats.
One of my fave products you listed were the Green Toys. I love how "green" has reached our kids.

My favorite product featured on Sage and Savvy within the past year is Häagen-Dazs Five.
I really liked so many of your reviews/giveaways- Seventh Gen and Envirosax and LunchBots come to mind- and I choose those because we're really trying to do our part and these products help us do better for the environment.
Congrats! I posted about Green Toys. Whenh I had my older kids, there was no such thing as Green anything, so it's wonderful to be able to buy Green products for our little one.

I think my favorite product would be EyeBuy Direct, since I've worn glasses since I was 7, this seems to be the most convenient way to purchase glasses.

I wish you another successful year and I can't wait to continue to be a part of it!
I enjoyed your Belli Skincare Giveaway! I chose this because the skincare is just so specifically tailored for mothers who are either pregnant or have just given birth and the products were so fantastic to learn about.

Love your blog, great reviews and fabulous giveaways. One of my favorite products you've highlighted is "Green Toys". My niece has the cooking set and my friends got the Sand Play set for their kids. You gotta love a company that is both fun and environmentally friendly.

Look how far I've come, LOL! Seriously, I want to thank you for all of the terrific giveaways you've held over the past year, all your terrific reviews and interesting posts. Here's to another great year!

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS...I just love your blog. Such a tough decision...there are so many choices! I believe my favorite was the Body Systems Olive Butter -- I really appreciate the natural ingredients and I'm a strong believer in the benefits of olive oil.
Thanks!

Congratulations! And Wow! You sure have been busy. I have to say that my favorite product you have featured is Green Toys. I love their toys and I love that they are recycled. What a fun way to teach kids about recycling. I have a review and giveaway of their toys coming up! I also see that you featured ERGO. Never tried it but I would LOVE to!
I'm not sure if I need to leave me email here, but I will!

Congratulations on an amazing year! While I haven't been 'with you' the full year, after looking over the list of reviewed products I have to say that the Exergen Temporal Scanner is still my favorite. It is extremely useful no matter how old your children are or even to those who don't have kids... Everyone gets sick at some point no matter how we try to avoid it. I still feel that every home should have one of these...
Firefly toothbrush, now babysitting won't be such a hassel anymore. :)
aimee_bernard@gmail.com
i liked your review of Green Toys. what a cool option for beach play!
princessvagnag at yahoo dot com
I loved the ERGO baby carrier review/giveaway. Wish I'd won that!
I loved the Huggies hypoallergenic diapers...mostly because I won them. :)
I was also interested in Baby Bambu. I love bamboo!
Congrats on your first year!
My favorite product reveiw was The Exergen Temporal Scanner Thermometer.
kngmckellar@hotmail.com
I forgot to say why on last post. I like the review because the thermometer is a neat item and very useful for anyone and very modern and up to date. Thanks!
kngmckellar@hotmail.com
Wow, congratulations, time sure does fly doesn't it!
Gotta say that one of my favorite products you reviewed was dreamsacks. I really like clothing/bedding/towels made from bamboo. Both for the greeness and for the softness it provides!
Congradulations!
My favorite product was Envirosax. I try to use only reusable bags and there were both functional and they have a really nice selection of patterns. This is both affordable and something I would use often.
Congratulations! Running a blog is hard - my hat is off to you for all of your wonderful reviews and great giveaways. My favorite review/product was the Exergen Temporal Scanner Thermometer. Man, I wish I'd won it - it's such a wonderful way to take your baby/child's temperature, and so accurate. A terrific breakthrough product that everyone should know about:)
maggie@mannwieler.com

Congrats and great job! i really appreciate the reviews they have been a big help to me.
oops i forgot to mention my fave contest. I would say it has to be the camera mainly because my camera broke and i really need one.
And of course the 90210 Organics. I am always in the market for organic products.
I also love the Dagoba Organic Chocolate Review because i love chocolate.
Congrats on your First Anniv!
I've enjoyed your reviews on the new products you've introduced me to. The Seventh Generation review stands out as it was most helpful for me personally. I've seen the products and just couldn't bring myself to give them a try.
