Totoya iPad case

September 10, 2012 by 3 Comments

Ok so what is a Totoya? Other then a misspelling of Toyota. 🙂 It is a cool digital and physical life toy for your kids- and it’s really cute.

This toy has two equally important characteristics. One is the physical fluffy part, it is a big white cute monster which doubles as a tablet case and a plush for kids. The monster is about the size of a small pillow case, or just a bit bigger then an iPad itself. Once inside the Totoya, your iPad is completely enclosed all around by a layer of plush creature, saving it from possible disaster. The stuffing is soft and huggable, giving your iPad a more natural, stuffede-animal feel. This extra softness is especially useful once we get to the digital component of the product, part two- the app.

The app itself is available on the App Store for free, and is a personality for your new Totoya monster. There are a few variants available, including YetYet, Robotto, YetX, and RobX. (Two of which are for your iPad and two of which [Read more…]

Snow White And the Huntsman- Out on DVD on Sept. 11

September 9, 2012 by 12 Comments

 

This review is by Ian.

Every so often it is good to remember your roots, especially classic tales. One such tale is Snow White. We all know the Disney movie and the cartoon cute version of this story, but why not take a look at a more adult version of the tale, full of action, adventures, battles and awe. Snow White and The Huntsman : Extended Edition does just that. The film stars Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Bob Hoskins, and the debut of Raffey Cassidy as young Snow White. The movie is a thrill ride, see the story from a new perspective, a completely different on actually. The witch is creepy and spooky and the Huntsman is awesome. Definitely a worthy role for Chirs Hemsworth.

W!N Rubbermaid Sandwich Kit

September 9, 2012 by 42 Comments

Alrighty moms, I have found the newest conspiracy against mothers. Are you ready? It is lunch ladies at the schools throwing away our Tupperware in hopes to further expand the diners of their fine establishment. This conspiracy is cleverly disguised as our kids conveniently leaving only their containers all over the school. Where no one then knows where they are. The real place they all go? The trash. You may be asking how can we ever hope to combat this horrible occurrence? Why with lunch kids which actually fit together, are color corded and quite difficult to lose. OK, I made that top part up- MAYBE! LOL.

One such awesome kit happens to be made by Rubbermaid. Take a look at the LunchBlox Sandwich Kit. This sandwich kit is a wonderful idea- first of all it is Rubbermaid, so each container can take beating and still come out strong. They are also dishwasher safe as well. There are 4 containers, 2 [Read more…]

Win an Anna & Eve Swaddle Strap

September 5, 2012 by 10 Comments

Anyone with a baby most definitely knows that a swaddle can QUICKLY calm a fussy baby. Swaddles help reduce crying and allow your baby to get more sleep. Both of these factors are very key in the sanity of a new parent!

The Anna & Eve Swaddle Strap is the only swaddle on the market that doesn’t have a blanket attached. Without a blanket attached, The swaddle strap is quick and easy to use on your child. It also comes in 2 different sizes so that your baby can use it as long as needed!

My daughter absolutely loved the swaddle strap. She still enjoys sleeping with a swaddle, but she sure is a hot little girl. She just seemed to sweat no matter what was on underneath her in the other traditional swaddle blankets. I really like that with these hot summer nights she can still sleep good with the swaddle strap!

I think this is a great product, because you can dress your child in whatever you like, and they [Read more…]

Mouth Man Hoodies Review(plus Mouth Man Hoodies Coupon)

August 29, 2012 by 4 Comments

Have you seen these nifty sweatshirts? They look like a regular patterned sweatshirt, then when you cross your arms in front of you, a big mouth and face appears on a variety of animals and characters. They are really cool looking, and should be seen “in action”. These are made of recycled materials and biodegradable ink. This is the perfect light sweatshirt for a spring day at the park, trying to bite other people as a shark.
Daddy really liked the Simpsons ones and also the sock monkey for adults. Sock monkey and T-Rex are probably my favorites- but Little liked the killer whale best.

We ordered the shirt in a size 6, and it is very snug, as you can see here. I would order up at least 2 sizes for a good fit. The shirt is very thin, making it a good lightweight sweatshirt, perfect for spring and summer cool nights. You can also save yourself some money when ordering with the coupon code “kidstuff”, to be applied to the MouthMan website at check out.

Here are some fun facts about Mouth Man Hoodies-

Mouth Man hoodies have animated graphics on the [Read more…]

Shaun White Boys Board Shorts

August 29, 2012 by 10 Comments

My son , like his mother, really enjoys the beach, pools, and water parks. He was not always the biggest fan of deeper water (that is, water above his waist) but now he is a real champ. We spent most of our summer in water, one way or another. A fun pair of trunks is a must have for the summer and for this traveling kid 🙂

Recently, he was sent a fun new pair of board shorts. They are a little big- it can be so hard to figure out his size lately! LOL- but they will be perfect next year. Made for boys between the ages of 4 and 18, they can be found exclusively at Target.

Fun [Read more…]

Balboa Diaper Tote Review and Giveaway @BalboaBaby

August 28, 2012 by 48 Comments

I have been on the hunt for a new diaper bag for awhile! When I found the Lime Poppy Tote Bag, I had a feeling that this would be the bag that I had been looking for. (Review by Danielle)

It is a great size to be able to fit all my needs for 2 children inside. There are two great pockets on the inside that I love to use, as well as two big pockets on the outside that I can put things in as well! I know sometimes with deep totes it can seem that everything gets lost at the bottom, and I can honestly say that I have not had that happen.

Features & Benefits

  • Lightweight
  • Wash-n-dry
  • Quilted Fabric with Contrast Lining
  • Reinforced Straps
  • Includes Balboa Baby luggage tag

I’m pretty crazy about baby products! I have to wash everything before it is used. I threw this in the washing machine and the dryer before I even put things inside it! As you can see in my pictures it holds up great through the washing machine!! It has a very nice soft fabric, and it is very easy to carry around!

This is the first product [Read more…]

Beyond Bedding- Adorable Bedding for Your Little Ones

August 13, 2012 by 6 Comments

Looking for some well made, and super cute bedding? Take a look at Beyond Bedding. Beyond bedding specializes in affordable unique, quality bedding for beds of all sizes. From toddler bedding sets to pretty adult bed sized micro suede sets- and all are affordable and fun!

I needed to take a look at the kids bedding sets, since Little needed a new set. Dinosaurs, stars and moons, cowboys and even teddy bears and turtles. We thought the Woodland Forest set was a perfect fit for him- he chose it himself. Everybody knows how much Little loves animals 🙂 The colors are bright, the characters are “super cutie” in Little’s words, and the price is right too. It’s always easier, in my opinion, to buy in a set that comes all together.

Little Man loves all the foxes and how busy and alive the set looks without being [Read more…]
