Sophie la girafe Book Series Debut! Review & #Giveaway (10/2)

When Jett was born, we decided that his favorite animal was going to be a giraffe!  I loved all of the giraffe things that were out, and it became the theme for him.  All of his shirts, toys, cloth diapers, blankets, etc., that we found had giraffes on them. At about 2 months old, one of our friends gave him a Sophie the Giraffe teether.  I really didn't see the big deal about this toy until it actually arrived.  It quickly became Jett's favorite toy as well as mine.  Sophie is so soft, and it's just a great teething toy…

Flip Hybrid Cloth Diaper System Review | #flipdiapers #clothdiapers

I teach a cloth diapering basics class, and one of the most commonly asked questions is "What is your favorite type of diaper?"   Without hesitation, I always answer, "I love the Flip Diaper System."  I love that it's trim, affordable, and best of adjustable from 8-35 pounds (which adds to it's affordability!).  Imagine my excitement when this package landed on my doorstep! When I first started cloth diapering many, many years ago, one of the downsides was the bulk.  I can remember that my mom hated holding my babies because their rear ends seemed so disproportionate to the rest of…

Voots Review – Veggie Fruit Tarts Supplements | #review #fruits #veggies

My kiddos love to take their vitamins.  They don't care if they are gummies, the hard chewable characters, or in the shape of circular tarts.  They love it.  When we run out, they're not happy campers!  In addition to (not as a replacement for) their vitamins, they have found a love for Voots Veggie-Fruit Tarts which helps provide more vitamin C to go along with their regular fruit and veggie eating habits. Although they're tasty for kiddos, teenagers and adults can enjoy them as well. With Voots® supplements, your kids can get the Vitamin C antioxidant power of 3 servings…

BabyGanics Fine & Handy Hand and Face Wipes Review

As the kiddos start their summer break,  moms start their summer stock ups on snacks, drinks, entertainment, and sunscreen.  This time of year, we move from running kiddos around to school, sports, choir practice, and the library, to running kiddos around to the beach, park, swimming pool and grandparents' houses!  This is also the time that we're planning our long summer vacations, quick road trips, and weekender getaways!  While you're gearing up for all of these, don't forget BabyGanics Hand & Face Wipes! It never fails - you're on the road, and one of the kiddos didn't get a napkin…

Spark of Amber Review – 18″ Amber Necklace for Mom | #Giveaway (5/23)

It's no secret that we use amber teething necklaces with our little ones.  No, that doesn't mean that Jett is cutting teeth, right now, by chewing on a necklace.  He's simply wearing a very cool and hip amber necklace.  What you may not know is that I also wear amber necklaces, but I wear them to help control headaches and earaches.  Not to mention, necklaces by Spark of Amber are beautiful and reasonably priced! As I've written before, Amber is a great, natural way to relieve pain.  From a previous post on natural teething relief: The misconception behind teething necklaces…

Piggy Paint Nail Polish Review – Natural as Mud! | Giveaway (4/8)

Kylie loves to paint nails.  She's been dubbed quite the nail artist in our small town.  Anywhere she visits, she's either pulling out her nail polish, looking through someone else's stash.  Sadly, she's not allowed to paint her (or my) nails in the house, because the smell gives my husband a headache.  That all changed when the Piggy Paint came in! odorless | hypoallergenic | water-based | hard, durable finish When she opened the box, the first thing I told her was that it doesn't smell - at all.  Immediately, she wanted to get her homework done, so that she…

Moshi Monsters Character Encyclopedia Review & Giveaway | #MoshiMonsters

Until last month, I'd never heard of Moshi Monsters.  I'm so eager to get my kiddos thinking of things other than Legos and Star Wars, that I put just about anything else in their hands! (Instagram Photobomb!) What are Moshi Monsters, you ask?  Well, I had to ask that, too.  When I received the Moshi Monsters Character Encyclopedia, I took a look at it before my boys got their grubby little hands on it, and found this cute little intro: Welcome to the gloopendous world of Moshi Monsters, a weird and wonderful place brimming with crazy critters of all shapes…

Mommy’s Bliss Sweet Slumber Review | #review #baby

When you think about Mommy's Bliss products, I'm pretty sure that the first thing that comes to mind is the Gripe Water.  It was with me.  Because we used the Gripe Water with Jett when he was younger, Mommy's Bliss is a brand we trust.  When I learned about Mommy's Bliss Sweet Slumber line, I just had to try it out.  I had no idea that they had more than just Gripe Water. Jett is at the age where he's into everything.  At 18 months old, he's very active, and it takes him a while to get settled down when…
