Nuk and Gerber Prize Pack Giveaway

February 19, 2012 by 9 Comments

Today we are looking at Gerber/Nuk’s new line of fun and funky tableware and baby designs.

First up is Gerber’s new Active Snacker. This little container is dishwasher safe, has a hard lid to keep snacks inside when packing things up and a soft flexible lid to keep snacks in and give little hands the ability to go in grab a snack and snack and come out again.

After snack time comes dinner! If your little ones are now a bit bigger, and looking to use forks and spoons to eat with, these are great. The problem with most utensils are that some children keep jamming the utensils down their throat. Gerber has a solution for this, a built in choke blocker. This little barrier on their forks and spoons keep little ones from putting them too far into their mouths, perfect for little ones trying to feed themselves. Its a really great idea that is executed perfectly with these utensils.

Now for the older kids, the ones who want “real” metal utensils but aren’t quite ready for the big stuff yet. The Kiddy Cutlery line is meant for [Read more…]

January 24, 2012 by 2 Comments

I know that many of you have your kids off sippy cups by age 4- but for me, my guy is still a hot mess with his cups and so, we still use our sippies. We are loving the new Green Sprouts non spill sippy cup that my little guy just got- he likes the animals, of course- I like that it doesn’t spill!

New Interchangeable Design! BPA free! This sippy cup is designed to keep our baby’s beverage from spilling.

BPA and PVC free! All parts are interchangeable with all other green sprouts bottles.
Designed with a one-way valve to prevent messy spills. Soft sippy spout is

Closer to Nature Monitor- When you only want the very best for your baby

January 5, 2012 by 14 Comments

You love your baby. They are the apple of your eye and you want to be able to see them all day and all night. How would you do this without either installing an expensive surveillance system or setting up a cot and learning how to creep stealthily like a ninja when going to the facilities are night? I jest- but really- how DO mommies get peace of mind at night?
Truly, I wish I had had this option when my son was born, the Closer to Nature Digital Video Sensor Pad Monitor. This monitor has a digital camera built into the satellite as well as a 2.8 inch color LCD screen on the viewer. I got the best available at the time- but this…this is pure magic!

This monitor has everything you could want in a baby monitor. Crystal clear sound, great reception and the ability to make it a two way audio connection to name a few. When our little one needs a little pep talk of, ‘it will be ok, shhhhhh go to sleep.’ It can be done without leaving your bedroom. This is no substitute for actual face time but it works for little fits. I know what you are thinking- my son is not a baby. Why do I have a monitor in his room?

He’s never been a good sleeper. He as breathing issues, and I am afraid that I won’t hear him if he is in distress and he sleeps upstairs. So, I never took the monitor out.

The connection between the monitor and the [Read more…]

GoGoBabyz- Travel Stroller/Carseat G!VEAWAY

January 1, 2012 by 731 Comments

Strollers always have some new feature to make you say, “Wow, great idea”. Today we are looking at GoGoBabyz new stroller the Urban Advantage. What makes this stroller unique is only has three wheels, two in the back and one in the front. This makes tight turns a breeze and even fitting it in the trunk seems a bit easier.

The stroller is for children from new born to 45 lb.s with a touch of a button it folds up quickly and easily. There is a large storage compartment underneath and the tires are airless, so no blow outs while traversing the wild streets of the city, lol. OR, the not so wild streets and sidewalks of suburbia 🙂

Little Man says about the stroller- “oh- mom, it’s comfy!” and I have to say it was a very smooth ride. It has 4 cupholders- one for me, one for him, and one for when Kamikaze joins us, with one left. So if you have more then 2 kids, or daddy comes along, you are good to go. It has lots of storage, and the sunshade is of course, a must have feature in any stroller. You also need the snack tray- which swings out for easy in and out- daily, don’t we? It’s also good for playing with all the toys our little ones carry with them everywhere, LOL.

It was super easy to put together- it took my husband less then 20 minutes to do. The ride is so smooth, it feels like you hardly have to push it at all, and more then once I have pushed it one-handed (what can I say- cell phones ring, toys drop, hats fall off, you know how it is!!!) and it was so not an issue. Even when the road gets bumpy, the stroller just keeps truckin’!

A few more features of this stroller that I love are;

  • 360-degree front-wheel swivel and a slim
  • Easy to maneuver around tight corners and narrow store aisles
  • Airless 12-inch wheels
  • Provides easy handling and a smooth ride on urban sidewalks or dirt paths
  • Cushioned four-position reclining seat back
  • Adjustable leg rest
  • Stroller collapses easily with the one-handed folding system.

You can pick up lots of accessories for this stroller on the site, too- such as rain gear, a larger sun shade, a twin adapter, and the like 🙂

Next up is the GoGo Kidz Travelmate. The Travelmate is a wonderful attachment for anyone who goes traveling with toddlers. This attachment is in simplest terms wheels that attach to a car seat which make it very easy to roll the car seat around. The Travelmate has a telescopic handle and two 5 inch Razor wheels.


This attachment makes it so much easier then lugging around a car seat. Not only is your little one off their feet, but the car seat now has wheels and is easy to move around. Have you ever tried to travel while toting around a carseat? And then the stroller??? NOT FUN! You need a seat for your child on the plane, and you need a stroller for the airport, and when you land. This makes things so much easier. Plus then you won’t need to rent a carseat when you land and get to your rental car 🙂 BAM- covered!

Now onto the real fun parts. Recycling! GoGo Kidz now offers recycled versions of both their Travelmate and Urban Advantage. A recycled unit is one that has been refurbished [Read more…]

#Win a Douglas Cuddle Toy Here! SO CUTE!!!

November 14, 2011 by 236 Comments

As you can tell from my previous post on Douglas Cuddle Toys, we really enjoyed them! Little Man just had the opportunity to choose another from the Douglas website- and after agonizing, her chose a plush dog, the Johann Red Dachshund. Little loves his new puppy, as you can plainly see!

You can find all sorts of Douglas Toys just in time for the holidays by checking out their website. We have quite a few Douglas at this time, from dragons to guinea pigs to dogs- and Little just loves them! I bought him one of the plush horses while we were on a trip this summer, he named it “Kentucky”.

Douglas Cuddle Toys are not only cute, cuddly, and soft, but they are also affordable. Kentucky the horse was only $7.99, which I think is completely reasonable. They have sweet and adorable faces, and I have never had an issue with tears or ripping. My son wants “Santa” to bring him a Douglas plush cat (like Zesty) so we will see what we can do. Kamikaze likes the girls toy purses that they have, so we may have to look into those as well.

This is from Toy Fair 2011 this past year- and I am so excited to see what they have in store for 2012- I already signed up for Toy Fair 2012 🙂 How cute is all this sea creature stuff? We bought all the seahorses, and a few others as well.

MORE GOOD NEWS! If you are a Fan of Douglas on Facebook, you can get FREE SHIPPING! CHeck out the details-

5 Little Known Benefits of Organic Baby Clothes

November 4, 2011 by 3 Comments

When it comes to your baby, you probably want to do everything right to ensure that they remain happy
and healthy as they grow. Perhaps you’ve painted the nursery with no-VOC paint, bought the best baby
furniture, switched to all-natural cleaning solvents, and even stocked the cabinets with organic formula
(in BPA-free cans, no less). While this is all good news for your newborn, if you’ve neglected to look into
the clothing that touches their bodies, you might not be doing all you can to protect your child. As a
result, you baby may suffer skin irritations and other problems associated with chemical-laden clothing.
But organic baby clothes can offer a solution; here are just a few benefits you may not have considered.

1. Sensitive skin. You’ve probably heard that a baby’s skin is more sensitive than adults or even
older children. But did you know that the dermis covering an infant’s body is actually thinner
and more porous, and that it produces less protective sebum? This not only means that babies
are more likely to suffer skin ailments as a result of contact with chemical products, but these
chemicals are more likely to enter their bodies through their skin. Opting for organic clothing is
just one way that you can help to protect them from harm.

2. Allergies. It is not uncommon for babies to suffer from allergic reactions to their clothing. While
most parents try to combat this by simply switching to a safe and gentle laundry detergent, you
really need to attack the problem from the root. This means removing all chemicals from their
presence by using organic linens for their bedding as well as the clothing they wear daily. This
way you can ensure that you’re doing less harm with the fabrics that touch their [Read more…]
