Almost 6 years ago my husband and I made a lot of changes in our day to day lives. Expecting our first baby, our eyes were opened to a whole new world of the dangers of toxins and chemicals. It all started when I was cleaning the kitchen stove with something that worked great but smelled awful, and spiraled from there. We started with the food we eat, only purchasing hormone and antibiotic free meats. We changed the household cleaning products we ...
For Baby
At Home or On The Go, The @ChiccoBaby Lullaby Baby Playard Is a Baby Must Have!
So you know you are having a baby and some of the items on your list are baby furniture, a safe infant car seat, a great stroller, and of course a baby playard. I wavered on the idea of a playard for a while, and even suggested to a friend that they probably won't need one since they lived in a small apartment, but I'll be the first to admit I was wrong! You need a playard! Whether it is a weekend at grandma's or just a safe place to rest or ...
Spring Showers Bring @SummerInfant Babies!
There are some baby brands that pop up on all your searches for top baby items. That brand for me is Summer Infant. Whether it is baby furniture, nursery essentials, swaddling blankets, baby safety, or baby monitors, Summer Infant has a wide variety of items in various categories for baby. I was first introduced to Summer Infant with my first baby. The Summer Infant Swaddle Me blankets were a life saver for us. Our very colicky newborn was ...
So Many Ways To Use a Boppy, How Do You Use Yours?
When giving baby must haves advice to my friends and family (and unsuspecting pregnant strangers) one item I'm always sure to mention is a Boppy pillow. The Boppy was my #1 used baby item for both of my girls, and whether you are planning on breastfeeding or formula feeding, the Boppy is a big help. After my c-sections, the Boppy pillow helped me hold my babies while protecting my incision site. It also helped with my posture to hold baby ...
Animalz Headphones Are A Great Option for Little Ears!
Many children this holiday season already have or will be receiving handheld gaming devices. My girls each have their own tablets, and share other educational devices we own, and sometimes the sounds that emanate from both devices on at the same time can be quite..... annoying- putting it simply. When the sound coming from one of the tablets interferes with the other one, someone makes there's louder and so the volume wars begin. I had to put an ...
Gifts for Baby: @DionoUSA Rainier Is The Only Car Seat They Will Need! #HolidayGiftGuide2014
There are some people on my holiday list that have big red question marks instead of a gift idea. I'm usually pretty good at finding something for everyone, but there are a few that leave me stumped. For example, my friend who recently got married, moved, and had a baby, all within the past year can fall into a few categories when it comes to holiday shopping. I can get her something just for her- maybe a day at the spa. Or something for the ...
Gifts For Baby & New Parents: The @SummerInfant Pop n Play Portable Playard!
There are some people who are easy to shop for this holiday season, and there are others who may be a bit challenging. What do you get a new parent who has everything they seem to need for their baby? It is very rare that I will purchase clothing for an infant because I never seem to get the sizing right. Toys are the obvious answer, but as a parent who is inundated with toys, I don't think that is on every parent's wish list either. If you want ...
Having GoodNites® Leads to Good Mornings! #UnderwearCompare
Potty training my first daughter was a breeze, but my second daughter was quite the stubborn one. Despite a few setbacks, using the potty during the day is no problem for her now. What I didn't foresee was the occasional bed wetting incidents she has experiences. We didn't experience bed wetting issues with my oldest, but as they say, every child is different! I feel that putting my child in a diaper at night time for those "just in case" moments ...
