Breathable Swaddle Blankets Made From Natural Muslin

March 12, 2010

Although my kids are now well past the swaddle stage, I still remember those wiggly little months of swaddling. I was terrible at swaddling them (especially my son who would break any swaddle I attempted) but my husband is the swaddle master. In all of my various attempts at swaddling my babies – I learned [...]

New Pampers and a Giveaway!

February 28, 2010

When my kids were in diapers (and thankfully they are no longer in diapers!!) the only diapers we used were Pampers. We had the best luck with them, with minimal rashes, irritation, and leaks.
Pampers has recently updated their design by making new Pampers with Dry Max – they are more lightweight. Since I no longer [...]

Do you remember our review of the Wet Happened bag from Mini Me Baby Gear? It was one of the first reviews we did, and I still use that product – for swimsuits and other clothes that my now potty-trained kids get wet. Well, Mini Me Baby Gear has a new product, Minky Dinky blankets, [...]

Stylish, Affordable Diaper Bags

November 13, 2009

I was definitely a diaper bag aficionado back when my kids were in diapers (do I sound like I’m gloating? My son just became potty trained, and we are OUT of diapers in this house)! I was always looking for stylish, fashionable, beautiful diaper bags that wouldn’t scream diapers and wipes, but so many of [...]

Taking the Temperature of a Sleeping Baby

September 21, 2009

We’ve all been there – a sick baby, who happens to be sleeping. Doctors recommend that we monitor baby’s fever – because a spike in temperature often requires a hospital visit for little ones. We all know not to wake a sleeping baby, but in the past, that’s something we had to do in order [...]

A Blessed Nest For Your Baby

September 12, 2009

Whether breastfeeding or bottle feeding, one of the trickiest aspects of feeding a baby is positioning. With my two children, I had a well-known breastfeeding pillow, but it never seemed to get the baby in just the right position, especially during their first six months. So in addition to the breastfeeding pillow, I also [...]

We have loved reading pop-up books with our sons since they were babies. They never seem to get bored of the 3-D illustrations in their favorite books. Recently we received a copy of Baby Signs, a pop-up book that illustrates a variety of beginner signs, like book, eat, and more. It’s fun to see [...]

Organic, Gentle Sunscreen for Little Ones and Their Mommies

June 29, 2009

My son and daughter have sensitive skin, and my daughter has had some strong skin reactions to sunscreens. So, while I certainly want to make sure the kids don’t burn, I also want to make sure their sunscreen doesn’t cause itchiness and hives. It’s a delicate balance.
I was approached by Vivasana to review their 100% [...]

We love Cloud B’s products. You can find previous reviews by Jodi of some of their products here or here or here. I credit Cloud B’s Lullabag for helping me sleep when we began using one for my youngest son through a very long colicky stage. When I was offered an opportunity to review another [...]

Convenient, Gentle Sunscreen On The Go

June 21, 2009

Now that it’s getting warm and sunny out, my kids pretty much need to wear sunscreen every day. I usually like to carry sunscreen in my diaper bag or purse so that I always have it on hand, but I always worry that the lotion kind will open and end up destroying my purse. That’s [...]
