I am so excited to have gotten the chance to review the Baby Bullet.  I know it has been around for a while, but I didn't make Little C's food.  We bought baby food instead.  After doing some research I decided that it would be worth the time to try making my own baby food for Baby A when the time comes.  When I received the Baby Bullet I immediately took out the user manual and cookbook because I was curious about how time consuming this process would be.  Well, I found out some pretty Read more [...]

Thank you SugarSNAP for providing me with a product to review, free of charge, and for sponsoring this giveaway. These are my own honest opinions. There used to be a time where all I had to worry about when leaving the house was to make sure I was wearing (matching) shoes, had my keys and wallet. That worry-free era ended when my daughter was born. All of a sudden, I had to make sure I had a million things with me from diapers and wipes to toys and bibs, blanket and snacks, the list goes on Read more [...]

*I was sent a Naturepedic mattress pad in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. Several years ago I read some statistics about how much weight a mattress gains in 10 years time due to sweat, dead skins cells, etc ending up in the mattress itself. Since then, I've always kept a washable mattress pad on my bed. I would rather invest money in a nice mattress pad that I can wash, that will protect my mattress than have all of that gunk end up in my mattress itself which is nearly impossible Read more [...]

When I had our first child over eight years ago, I didn't personally know anyone who wore their baby.  I did purchase a really cheap carrier on a whim before our daughter was born but ended up being extremely disappointed in the lack of comfort it offered me and our daughter seemed to hate it so I only used it once.  By the time I had our second child, the baby-wearing movement was spreading in our area and I now knew a handful of people who wore their children.  We now have four children and Read more [...]

Thank you Bébé Au Lait for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. Breastfeeding has been a part of my life for a little over 20 months with my daughter. She is now weaned but I'm about to start another breastfeeding adventure with Baby no.2. I never considered breastfeeding an obstacle that prevented me from doing whatever I wanted. I breastfed anywhere: at restaurants, at the park, at the mall, even in planes! I was never really shy about Read more [...]

I never used to give much thought to the mattress we use on our crib and toddler bed.  However, I just attended my first Bump Club Gear-A-Palooza last month and I learned a lot from Jamie Grayson, TheBabyGuyNYC.  He made the point that many parents will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on the crib and then buy a cheap or used mattress to put in it.  The fact of the matter is, though, your child's face and body are laying directly on that mattress.  The materials that a mattress is made Read more [...]

*I was sent an Elmo chair from Delta Children in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. My niece Kelsie was born in March, when Drew was 2 years and 7 months old. He's adjusted really well and really enjoys his baby sister and almost never shows signs of jealousy or negative emotions towards the baby. A few times he has made comments about how many "seats" Kelsie has and he's definitely right. She has a car seat, bouncy seat, napper, swing, portable swing, crib, jumparoo, walker, high Read more [...]

Thank you Costume Chik for providing me with a product to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. Halloween is one of my favorite celebrations, if not my favorite. Since I was little, I've always enjoyed choosing my costume with my mom, or even designing it myself, and getting dressed to go trick-or-treating with my siblings. It's a tradition that I hope will bring my daughter lots of fond memories as well. I know she's still quite young and won't remember much of what we Read more [...]

I love finding cute shoes for our kids. I was introduced to "squeaky shoes" when our second child turned one and I couldn't find anything to fit his chubby little feet. I have since fallen in love with "squeaky" shoes that give me the peace of mind knowing that our little one won't get far without unknowingly alerting me.  I was sent a pair of Prince Kairu Shoes from Yochi Yochi for review.   Yochi Yochi Shoes brought the latest trend from Japan to the US. Each pair of Yochi Yochi Shoes has Read more [...]

I received 2 bottles of Colief Infant Drops for review.  If you follow my blog posts you know that I am due to have Baby A in November and I am so thankful to Colief for sending over two bottles of Colief Infant Drops for me to use with my sweet little baby.  I of course don't know if Baby A will have colic, but I am almost confident at some point he will have gas.  When I had Little C, he had some complications at 6 weeks and ended up having to have surgery.  I was scared out of my mind, Read more [...]
