Thank you Live Clean for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions.   Live Clean is one of my favorite brands when it comes to skin care products. Why? Simply because their products are eco-friendly and plant-based without any harsh chemicals. They contain no sulfates, no petroleum, no paraben, and are not tested on animals. They smell wonderful and are gentle on baby's skin. I've been using their products for many months now and I am still totally Read more [...]

I sometimes find it difficult to find a really great gift idea for infants.  All the clothes start to look the same at the big box stores and I enjoy finding unique gifts.  I came across a great company called Stephan Baby that packs a punch with their products and was just what I was looking for.  They carry a wide array of items from clothing and blankets to headbands, socks, bibs, dolls, room accessories, keepsakes, diaper bags, growth charts, gift sets, and more.  I'm thrilled to partner Read more [...]

Personalized products always seem to be a hit. Whether it's a toy, clothing, blanket, kitchen item, jewelry, or something else, it seems like the extra thought, time and effort that someone put into getting something special makes the whole product more desirable.  Our children have some personalized cd's and they love to hear their names during the songs.  They also have some personalized books that are a hug hit.  Our daughter will be receiving a personalized locket for Christmas this year that Read more [...]

Thank you Hasbro for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions.  As a kid, I had many Hasbro toys and games that I loves.

I received  Philips AVENT Natural Drinking Cups for review.  These are my honest opinions. I am really excited about the Philips AVENT Natural Drinking Cups.  I have honestly never seen a cup like this and would have loved to have tried one when Little C was little.  The Philips AVENT Natural Drinking Cup is a sippy cup designed for toddlers 12 months and older.  The cup is spill proof and works like a real cup for the most part.  Your child will be able to drink from anywhere around the rim Read more [...]

I am excited about receiving two 5 oz. Philips AVENT Spout Cup for review.  All opinions are my own. If you are wondering what to get your little one as a stocking stuffer for Christmas this year, I believe that the Philips AVENT Spout Cup would be a great gift that your little one would love.  The cups I received are for 6 month+, so my new little guy won't be using them until around May, but I am looking forward to seeing how he does with them.  After reading some facts about the cups, I know Read more [...]

*I was provided with toys from MMP Living in exchange for this blog post. All opinions are my own. Back in August I wrote about how MMP Living is a website and Amazon store that has a huge selection of toys for kids. I was really happy with both of the toys that I got back then, for Drew's third birthday and they've held up great and he still plays with them all the time. So, I was excited to get a chance to feature them as a place to shop for gifts for children this holiday season. This Read more [...]

Teething is one of the joys and trials of parenthood and I am willing to try almost anything (that is safe) to help relieve the discomfort and pain.  Our first child was a terrible teether.  She would spike a 104 temp and be really sick for 24 hours and then the next morning, there would be a new tooth.  While each episode was short-lived, I felt completely helpless as nobody had any good suggestions for helping her besides medicating.  Now that I am a seasoned parent to four, I have learned Read more [...]
