Voda Swim With Push up Bikini Top Review and Giveaway

It takes a LOT to be comfortable in a bathing suit, especially in public. I love the beach, but I always feel a bit uneasy. I'm 5" tall and have a pear shaped body. Even as a kid I hated bathing suits that came with the top and bottom together in the same size. There's no way those suits truly fit more than 10% of people. I typically purchase tops and bottoms that have string ties, so that I can customize the fit a bit better. I'm thankful that almost all women's two piece suits let you select your Read more [...]

Crane Frog Humidifier Review

Ryan and I have been lucky so far this year, as neither of us have battled bad colds. However, humidifiers are a great thing to have around when a cold strikes. Who wants to take more medication than they need to? They are especially great for parents with babies, who are much less likely to receive medication for colds. As a kid I often had nosebleeds at my dads, which we always assumed was due to the difference in the air at his house - I wish they made these adorable humidifiers back then! Crane Read more [...]

Chicken Soup For The Soul: New Moms Review and Giveaway (3 winners)(us/canada)

I don't have any kids, but I've dreamed about my future children since I was probably two or three. I'm blessed with a huge extended family, including over 15 nieces/nephews. I have always found the birth of a new baby to be one of the most amazing, emotional experiences that humans experience. So, although I haven't yet been there with my own kids, I was really touched by so many of the stories found in Chicken Soup For The Soul: New Moms. The book includes stories of pregnancy, birth and of course, Read more [...]

Baby bedding at babybeddingzone.com

There are so many things to think about when you find out that there's a baby on the way. Which car seat has the best price mixed with high safety ratings? To bottle feed or breastfeed? Which bottles to buy? Which breast pump? What about the name? The nursery? So many more questions to ask too! One of the major decisions that go into designing the nursery is of course which crib bedding set to buy. Baby Bedding Zone is a great place to go to find the perfect crib set. If you aren't sure what you're Read more [...]

Bright Starts Developmental Activity Gym

In the past I've written about activity gyms. Bright Starts generously sent me one of their Develop your senses activity gym. I immediately liked the activity gym because of the colors alone - pastels are cute but it's rare to find bright, engaging colors like this one has. I love it. The play may has lots of features to enhance baby's development, such as a pillow to aid in tummy time, a mirror, a detachable mobile and more. The mobile detaches and can easily be attached to the handle of an infant Read more [...]

Mondetta Performance Gear Review and Giveaway

Mondetta Performance Gear is a company that makes fashionable athletic apparel. When offered a review, I looked at several pieces that I knew I would love. Then I checked out the guys section, and realized I'd offer this review up to Ryan. Many athletic wear companies for men offer workout clothes that kind of scream workout gear, and seem to be fitted to small men. Ryan is 5'11" and has an average to large body frame, so most athletic wear for men doesn't seem suitable for him. Particularly the Read more [...]
