My 2-year old daughter is a huge fan of bath time and is currently really into soaps and lotions. So, we have amassed quite a collection and I was excited to try the latest by Aden & Anais because we love their muslin swaddles so much. We tried the mum & bub hair+body wash and the ultra gentle lotion. The most important thing to me about bath products is that they be free of any dangerous ingredients and these fit the bill. No parabens, no sulfates, no phthalates, no BPA. I felt …
We are having a girl and when I first started planning what the nursery was going to look like, I knew I wanted something that was not too girly, but yet something that would not be mistaken as being gender neutral. When I started researching for nursery themes and colors, I saw what Skip Hop had to offer in terms of product lines. What I love about Skip Hop in general is that their designs are fun, bright, and are a good alternative to character art. The Treetop Friends Musical Mobile added …
When I asked my friends for recommendations on what diaper pail we should invest in for our first baby, they all had the same response, "The Diaper Dekor Plus is the only way to go." We have been using it for the past 2 weeks and it is definitely on the top of my must-have baby items list. First, its slick design makes it easy on the eyes. It does not look like a typical baby product, making it easier for moms to use after the baby is done with diapers - it converts to a nice garbage can! …

We just got the Oogaa baby mealtime set and silicone placemat and we love them. The Oogaa baby mealtime set includes the colorful silicone bowl and designer spoons, one with a train on top, and one with an airplane. When my daughter was almost 1 year old she was going through a phase where she would ONLY eat food she could pick up herself (i.e., she was resisting being spoon fed.) But then along came the most colorful adorable spoons from Oogaa with an airplane and a train right on them, and …

I have two children who love bath time. I tried the SheaMoisture Organic Baby Wash and Shampoo and the Lotion mainly because it is all natural and free of all the icky synthetic stuff. I figure why bath my children is unnecessary toxins when there are better options readily available! The Baby Wash and Shampoo is comparable to other brands like Burts Bees and California Baby. A good lather but not too harsh on sensitive, eczema prone skin. You can even run it under the water and it lathers …
The Kelty Transit 3.0 Backpack arrived just in time! My large seven month old was more than ready to have a better view of his surroundings. Initially, he loved being nestled against my chest in the Ergo (another carrier I love) but he now was ready to check out the world. Before the pack arrived, I was a bit skeptical as to its place in our line of carriers. We also own the Kelty Pathfinder 3.0 Backpack which we use for hikes. I can now say that I am a believer and that the Transit has a …
I have a scar from two c-sections and although I healed well, I'm still a bit self conscious of my scar. The directions seemed almost too easy. I cut one sheet into two strips to fit the scar area and it stayed adhered to the area well. Every day I had to take the sheet (strips) off, wash the area and wet the strips to reactivate and then reapply. I was skeptical of the wet and reapply part of the directions because I didn't think it would stick again, but it did work and it lasted an entire …
I’ve seen other women who can nurse in public, who with just a flick of the wrist have a blanket perfectly positioned over their shoulder and happy baby suckling away underneath. I am not one of these ladies. When I’m in public, it always takes a me a few minutes to get situated, find a comfortable position, grab the blanket, ect. Finally when I do have everything set up and ready to go, it is difficult to check on my daughter without exposing myself or feeling like people around me can …
