*I have partnered with Beech Nut to bring you this post. All opinions are my own. Kelsie just turned a year old. I know it's so cliché but I really don't know where the last year has went. Babies grow up so quickly! She started teething really young so she has a mouthful of teeth now and is happy to eat most any table food these days. The problem is that she often wants to eat when the rest of us are not eating. While I understand that her belly is still really small so she wants to eat more Read more [...]

Thank you to Ingenuity Baby for sending me a sample, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. There are many products on the market these days for infants and toddlers.  Some times, it may be hard to decipher which ones are needs versus the products that will never get used or won't live up to expectations.  The problem lies with the fact that everyone has different lifestyles and while some products are perfect for one family, they may not work at all for others.  However, there Read more [...]

*I was given a complimentary pair of Atipas. All opinions are my own. Kelsie started pulling up next to furniture around 8.5 or 9 months old. It was fun to see her explore the world from her new perspective, but she didn't really have the balancing part down very well, and that combined with her slippery socks on our hard flooring meant she fell down a lot. She would predict her fall because her feet would start slipping in opposite directions and she'd yell, unable to do anything on her own. Read more [...]

Thank you Ingenuity for sending me a sample, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. There are many products that parents find as "must haves" once they have children.  From the necessities such as a crib, car seat, and a diaper bag to some great must have toys, babies use lots of stuff.  When it came to toys though, we went through a lot of trial and error with our kids.  While many toys were bright, eye-cathing, and looked great to me as the mom, they fell flat with our children.

Thank you to NoJo Bedding for providing me with a sample, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. We were sent the Kulala 4 Piece Set for our son's crib.  I was really excited about the prospect of a beautiful matching crib set because I had previously owned a set that I had purchased used on a garage sale for our older children.  The Kulala Set from NoJo includes: a comforter, crib sheet, dust ruffle, and diaper stacker.  This set encompasses a jungle safari theme of peaceful Read more [...]

*I was provided with sippy cups from The First Years. All opinions are my own. My sister has a work schedule that is always changing her days and hours. My mom works every other day, so her schedule flip-flops every week. My mom watches my sisters children if my sister is working while my mom is off, but when they both work at the same time, I often pick up the slack by having the kids. With their changing schedules, the amount of time that I have the kids varies but it usually works out to Read more [...]

Thank you to BabyMel London for providing me with a sample, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.  I love being a mom.  With that being said, I don't like looking like I'm loaded down with baby gear.  There are many days that I already feel like my hair and clothes are in major need of an upgrade because I'm sporting the mommy pony tail and spit up or finger prints on my clothes.  One product that I wanted to be able to use for my children and still be stylish is my diaper Read more [...]

I will be receiving two outfits from Feltman Brothers for this post. As I have looked over the clothing at Feltman Brothers, I have fallen in love.  You can find some spectacular hand-embroidered baby clothing and many items for special events.  You will also find some very special pieces for baby gifts as well.  As for myself, I sometimes find it hard to shop for a boy when it comes to embroidered clothing. It isn't that I don't like this style of clothing it has just been hard to find something Read more [...]

I have come to love Tommee Tippee products.  Baby A is 3 months old and so far we have had great success with all the products we have tried.  I never used Tommee Tippee when Little C was born and honestly I don't even know if the brand was around.  From the bottle prep machine to the diaper pail I would recommend Tommee Tippee to anyone. For this review I have received the new Three Ring Circus sippy cups. There are four different styles of cups that come along with this super cute design.  Read more [...]

Thank you BabySmart for providing me with a product to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. Time flies... Some days, it hits me and I remember that not so long ago, my oldest (who turned 2 a few months ago) couldn't walk, that she could fit in these itty bitty onesies, that she could only point and make sounds to ask for something. Then I realize, I don't have a baby anymore, she's a 'big girl'! How do you know 'babyhood' is over? 1. You catch yourself saying 'no, you Read more [...]
