Finding those extra special items for the kids' Easter baskets each year is always fun.  While we do like to include a couple small indulgent edible treats, I prefer to top the baskets off with something that will last a lot longer and not cause any cavities.  Just recently, I came across a really unique website that offers delightful gifts for babies and toddlers first few years of life and I'm thrilled to share more about them with you today! Sending a big thank you to Bunnies By The Bay for Read more [...]

Hosting a co-ed baby shower? Not sure where to start? Here are some great game ideas for a couple's shower. As you can see from the pictures we had games for both men and women. Everyone got involved and had a ton of fun! Pacifier Spit! We got cheap pacifiers online and handed them out to all the guys in attendance. On the count of three they had to spit their pacifier as far as they could. Longest distance won a prize. Name That Baby Food! We had 10 different baby foods for the ladies Read more [...]

This post is sponsored by OxyLED but all opinions are my own. At our local MOPS meeting this past week, the topic of the day was anger and frustration and how we deal with it (whether it's our own or our children's.)  One of the discussion questions asked what time of day do you experience the most anger or frustration.  Every single mom at my table said bedtime was definitely the hardest time with the most frustration and struggle.  Over the years, we've had our fair share of bedtime struggles Read more [...]

Thank you to Adorology for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion! A few months back I went in search of the perfect car seat cover. I wanted something that would keep the wind off my daughter in her carrier style car seat this spring. In my quest, I found Adorology. I originally reviewed a set of their bandana bibs along with a multi-use car seat cover. You can see that review here. Today, I am excited to partner with you again to showcase their beautiful car seat cover Read more [...]

Thank you to VTech for sending the video monitor for review in exchange for my honest opinion! My daughter has slept in her crib in the room next to ours since she was about two weeks old. As a first time mom and a light sleeper: thank goodness for video monitors! I am happy to be able to roll over and check on her via the video monitor and not always have to get out of bed to make sure she is ok. I jumped at the chance to partner with VTech to try out their Wi-Fi HD Video Monitor. There Read more [...]

Thank you to NOSH! for sending product samples for my daughter in exchange for our honest opinion. My daughter is 15 months old now. She has just 8 teeth so far, so quite a few left to go. She's definitely teething! She's constantly chewing on anything and everything she can get her hands on! She's more of a snacker than a big meal eater so I am always on the lookout for healthy snack options for her. When I heard about NOSH! Baby Munchables organic teething wafers, I was excited to let her Read more [...]

Do you know a little one who is fascinated with your keys?  I don't know exactly why it is, but I think every baby I've ever cared for (as well as my own children) has been drawn to mine.  Is it the metal clanking sound?  The coolness when they get those keys in their mouth before I can stop them?  Or something else.......? Sending a big thank you to Kleynimals for sending us their Stainless Steel Baby Rattle! The Kleynimals Stainless Steel Baby Rattle is the newest addition to the Kleynimals Read more [...]

I remember as a child, finding something that had my name on it was always so exciting.  Perhaps it was because Miranda wasn't all that common but that thrill I'd experience as my eyes would catch my name on a key chain or bookmark never got old.  Even though times have changed, kids still love customized items that are especially for them.  Now, it's even possible to have story books personalized!  So today, I'm excited to share a couple of selections from Put Me In The Story that would be perfect Read more [...]

Do you ever feel like the last thing your children needs is another loud, plastic toy?  Or even more so, an electronic device?  Every time I walk the aisles of big box stores, that seems to be all I'm inundated with.  But I've learned that there are other, and better, options out there! Sending a big thank you to Manhattan Toy Co. for sending us these MiO toys. Last year, I was introduced to Manhattan's Toy Company's fun MiO (mee-oh) Collection.  If you're unfamiliar with it, their MiO Read more [...]

Thank you to MAM for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Both of my daughters had colic when they were infants. Savannah, my oldest, would start crying every evening around 7:00 pm. I tried everything to soothe her. It was heartbreaking, I didn't know what was wrong or how to help her. I tried feeding her, burping her, changing her, rocking her, and everything else I could think of. We consulted her pediatrician and found nothing wrong. Read more [...]
