With both of my girls that love to be active and into everything, I am always on the lookout for something to keep their clothes pretty, but still let them have a lot of fun. I was lucky enough to be able to work with bibbitec.

About Bibbitec:

After a long plane ride, the creator realized that the only thing that was still fresh and clean was her husbands shirt. She decided to “declare war on mess and set out to find a better solution to this age old problem”.

The Bibbitec is a patented, multi-tasking Ultimate Bib that serves as the catch all in your diaper bag and at home, delivering cleanliness and ease in a single bound. It is comfortable, stain-resistant, fast-drying, soft, lightweight material that has a great deal of strength.

The Ultimate Bib can be used as a burp cloth, changing pad, breast-feeding cover, full body bib, placemat, breathable stroller blanket, art smock, lapkin, and even an apron. This product will last a great deal of time with your child.

I received the Little Pnuts Toddler Special Delivery package, in order to facilitate her review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

With a 3 year old and a 1 year old, I find myself always trying to find the perfect items for them to play with, and most importantly not bring more “junk” into my house. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would just send you the perfect items right to your house? Well guess what? I have found that perfect company. Little Pnuts is just that.

About Little Pnuts:

Melissa realized that there was a real need for high quality, all natural, non-battery operated toys. When her children were young she started researching and trying to find toys that would work and be great for her kids. She realized that the American toy market could not provide her with what she was looking for, attractive toys that would enhance every sensorial perspective toys that would provide challenges, toys that would engage while providing a sense of accomplishment. These toys needed to enhance gross and fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and help develop the focus and concentration.

Melissa then decided to turn to the European market and after a great deal of research, found exactly what she was looking for. Unfortunately, at the time, these toys were not easily accessible in the US, but she had family there that was more than happy to send them to her.

Beginning in 2012, Melissa decided it was time to combine her former skills and her newfound admiration for high quality educational toys to develop a company that would bring these toys to families in the US.

**You can choose one of 3 unique special delivery programs.

new babyA new baby requires focus and attention, and new parents have enough on their minds. Finding simple solutions that will streamline your life can help to put your mind at ease.

Wear your baby

While some babies are content to stay in their cribs or playpens, other babies insist on being held at all times.

Your baby will be happy to be close to you, and you will be able to go about daily life.

Baby proof your home

Babies grow so quickly it often seems as if today’s newborn is tomorrow’s toddler. Since babies use their mouths to explore their world, baby proofing your home is vital. Keeping small objects out of baby’s reach, covering outlet covers and installing cabinet locks are just the [Read more…]
