Last week, I was asked by ThinkBaby to check out their Baby Body Essentials Set. This set contains Sunscreen SPF 50+, Shampoo & Body Wash, Baby Lotion, and Bubble Bath. The lotion is 3 ounces while the other bottles are 8 ounces and have pump tops. All of these items are non-toxic, all natural, and safe for little ones of all ages. This is a set I wish that I had when my daughter was born. I had a hard time finding stuff that didn’t aggravate her skin, and I ended up having to spend more than I wanted getting bubble bath and body wash. This set, however, has everything you need for your baby in one convenient pack. Even though she is school age now, the formulas are still very gentle for her and I absolutely love the sunscreen. It isn’t oily and last for about 80 minutes at a time. This set makes the perfect gift for baby showers and new moms, and it’s very affordable. It’s available on the ThinkBaby website for $29.99 (+ shipping). They also carry a wide line of other baby ...

Product Review – Wrapy Baby Wrap
A few weeks ago, I was asked to check out the Wrapy Baby Wrap. The Wrapy is a cloth wrap, made of 95% cotton and 5% spandex. It will safely hold babies up to 35 lbs. The fabric is extra wide and is very comfortable. It is machine washable and dryer safe. I tried a sling wrap when my daughter was little, but didn’t like it very much. In the last few years I have seen many different brands of wraps come out, but since my daughter is too old for them I’ve never been able to try them out. So when Wrapy contacted me about the review, I asked my friend when has a 6 month old if she wanted to try it out. She agreed. She’s used wraps for both of her children, so she’s experienced in using them. When the wrap arrived, I first noticed how soft and stretchable it was. It came in a drawstring bag with instructions on how to use the wrap. My friend was currently using a wrap from another company, but found it to be very uncomfortable due to how thick the fabric was. She commented on of ...
Product Review — Beltlock
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. A while back, I was sent a Beltlock to try out. The Beltrock is designed to keep kids from undoing their seatbelt when riding in the car. It fits over the locking part of the seatbelt to protect the release button. The slots allow for the belt part (I know that there is some technical name to it but I don’t know it) to go into the lock, but little fingers won’t fit. To release, simply use a key or other long/slim object to press the release. My daughter has been pretty good about not undoing her seatbelt while we are driving. However, once we stop someplace she’s out of her seat and waiting for the door to open. I know that it’s only a matter of time before she does undo it while driving, so I figure it never hurts to be prepared. The Beltlock itself is oversized so that it can fit over any make of seatbelt. You simply set it on top of the locking part, and then inset the belt part into one of the slats to hold ...
Daddy Diaper Backpack Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
A few weeks back, I was sent a Daddy Diaper Backpack. The pack is made by DaddyScrubs, a company that makes all sorts of neat stuff geared towards dads, including scrubs, hats, shirts & more.I was very excited to try this since my husband absolutely hates carrying around our daughter Winnie the Pooh diaper bag. He’s more open to carrying my purse. The backpack has several large compartments, as well as a ton of smaller ones that you can fit just about everything in, including keys, phones, wallets and more.. It also has pockets on the side for bottles.We have already gotten a great deal of use out of it. We’ve been packing it up on the days I have physical therapy for my husband to have while he is shopping with our daughter. It’s also the perfect overnight bag for when she stays with grandma too. I can get her wipes tub, diapers (for when she’s out), learning laptop, and blanket in the big compartment. All of her clothing, Sippy cup & other assorted stuff easily fit in the ...
BabyBond Review and Giveaway [ENDED]
A few weeks ago, I was asked to try out the BabyBond Nursing Cover. BabyBond covers the mother, leaving the baby free to move and look around. The covers are designed to look like a sash. They also roll up and easily fit inside any purse. There are three different types: Original, Flex, and Couture. I ended up testing the Couture. The Couture cover can be worn either as a sash or a belly band. I was expecting to have to run through a long or weird process to put it on. But, all you do is loop it around your torso and feed the end through the loop. It's that easy. I tried it first as a sash and was very surprised at how well it covers everything. You can't even tell it's a nursing cover until you actually start using. The same goes when it's worn as a belly band. It easily looks like your wearing a layered top of some sort. When your done with it, all you have to do is roll it up. The end has a built-in pouch that you roll it in to. It fits into any bag or purse, ...
The Juppy Baby Walker Giveaway [ENDED]
The Juppy is a parent-assisted baby walker used to safely teach babies how to walk sooner while eliminating dangerous falls. A lot of parents tend to hold their babies by the hands or under the arms to teach them to walk. I know from personal experience that it can cause your back to hurt, but what I didn't know is that it can also cause injury to your child's arms and/or joints. With the Juppy, you place you child in the Juppy and, while standing upright, you hold on to the cotton straps giving him/her support to walk. This eliminates any disconfort to you and your baby. Best of all, the Juppy folds up and can be put in your purse. It's doctor recomended and is machine washable. You can get more info at the Juppy website. This is a product I really wish I had when Hannah was first learning. I'm definitely going to get one if we ever have another child. Special thanks goes to Juppy for sponsoring this months giveaway. The giveaway is open to everyone, and the entry ...
