The Natural Solution for Teething Pain ~ Hazelaid Review and $25 GC Giveaway

Hazelaid4I came across Hazelaid when E was a baby. He had some issues with reflux, and I was looking for some natural solutions to help ease his discomfort. I found that Hazelwood might be a good alternative to the medicine he was prescribed. I didn’t end up buying a necklace but Hazelaid recently sent me one and I am so excited to have it!! I am worried that this next baby will have some sort of reflux and if it is anything like my sons…I will definitely be pulling out our Hazelaid necklace! They are also a great natural solution for teething pain, and every baby has to go through that!!

hazelaid

“Hazelwood products help to create an alkaline environment in your body which may help prevent and appease many of the symptoms caused by acidosis (being too acidic).

The use of hazelwood jewelry originated long ago when Aboriginal people discovered that they could put hazelwood chips on their babies’ necks to soothe teething pains. This lost art was revived only a decade ago when a few companies in Quebec,hazelaid2 Canada (where the hazelwood trees grow indigenously) rediscovered the unique properties of hazelwood. Since then hazelwood has grown in popularity as more and more people have experienced its benefits.  Most notably, Hazelwood has been able to help many people with skin issues such as eczema, providing a natural alternative to many of the more expensive, intensive, and messy treatments.”

“Hazelaid was born when our family was introduced to the amazing healing properties of hazelwood products.  These necklaces, bracelets, and other jewelry made with pieces of wood from the hazelnut tree have the unique property of absorbing the excess acid produced in our bodies when it is in contact with our skin.”

hazelaid5I always like to try a natural approach to any ailment especially when it comes to my kids. These Hazelaid necklaces are safe and that makes me feel good about letting my child wear them. I received the Milk & Butter Necklace from Hazelaid. It is a combination of Hazelwood and Amber. Amber is a natural remedy for pain relief so this necklace does double duty!! It is 11 inches long (perfect for a little neck) and it has silver plated nickel ‘lobster claw’ style clasps. It would look great on a boy or a girl.

hazelaid6

Of course, Hazelaid Necklaces aren’t just for children. They also have adult sizes. There are some really pretty colors available and they are totally something I would wear everyday. You can also get bracelets if that is more your style. These necklaces can help with digestion, constipation, eczema, migraines, acid reflux, heart burn, nausea, arthritis, skin problems, etc. I really want to try one for my migraines. Hazelaid3It would be so much better than my medication that gives me crazy side effects!

Things that are BRAG WORTHY:

  • Great for children & adults
  • Necklaces come in 11 inches, 13.5 inches, 16 inches, 18 inches, 20 inches, and 22 inches.
  • Helps with a variety of ailments
  • Safe & natural
  • Great for teething
  • Looks great too!

12 year old C has been having a blast riding his Rockboard Scooter.  He says: “It is such a fun scooter to ride,  I love the rock mode, but it is also really cool that I can use it like a regular scooter too.  I have kids asking me a lot where I got the scooter cause they want one too.”

I am really impressed by the quality of the scooter as well as how much fun it has been for C.  I love that it comes fully assembled (makes my life easier) and ready to ride.  Since it can hold up to 200 lbs. I was able to give it a try as well.  It is really fun!  I can see why the kids love it so much. The Rockboard Original is for kids ages 8+ (can hold 200 lbs.) and they also have a Rockboard Mini for kids ages 5+ (holds up to 90 lbs.).  Whichever you choose, I know your kids will have a blast on their Rockboard Scooter!

MILK Nursingwear Nursing Dress Review and $40 GC Giveaway

d8101-TLmain

When I had my baby Charlotte I decided right away that I would try nursing again. When I had Leah I didn’t have the best experience because my milk T6100%20thumb-1never came in. So I didn’t really buy any nursing clothes because I stopped so early. But this time around I decided I wanted to try out some cute nursing tops and dresses.

I came across MILK Nursingwear and really wanted to try it out. They have some super cute tops and Nursing dresses. I went with a simple black dress D4000%20main%20prodthat I could wear to church or out on the town with the hubby. It was super cute and easy to wear! I loved how it had the built in panel for nursing but didn’t look like a nursing dress.

One thing about nursing I hate is nursing in public, it’s convenient for the fact no bottles are involved but trying to find a quite place is hard sometimes. One thing that I have really loved is my nursing cover up. It makes nursing in public super easy!chocolatmain_1380_detail

“We design fresh, modern clothing for nursing moms and sell chic nursing accessories as well. Our brand is truly unique. What sets Milk apart is our sense of fashion and style, and our committment to supporting all moms through breastfeeding and motherhood.

I am the founder of Milk and the mother of four beautiful breastfed children.

My inspiration for Milk came after the birth of my first daughter in 1997. Early on I was introduced to the concept of nursingwear. While I loved the discretion and ease that nursing clothing provided, I did not love the dowdy styling. I wanted to feel attractive and fashionable and believed my clothing should reflect that.

So in June 2000, armed with entrepreneurial spirit, my MBA, experience as a Bloomingdale’s buyer and a Marketing Manager, I realized my vision by launching a company called Expressiva Nursingwear. After seven successful years of running that company I sold it and created Milk Nursingwear, truly the freshest nursingwear on the planet! We have thousands of happy customers the world over.” (MILK Nursing Wear”)

Things that are Bragworthy:

  • Super Cute Clothes for Nursing Mamas
  • MILK supports Moms like us!
  • Great Customer Service
  • Look super cute while nursing
  • Convenient clothing at an affordable price!

These cute dresses and tops can be purchased at www.milknursingwear.com

I couldn’t wait for my Cherry Blossom Wall Decal to arrive so I could put it up in my home. When it arrived my husband and I put it up right away.  It comes on a big 50” x 26” sheet and each branch, twig and flower is on it’s own.  I love this since we were free to design the tree just as we wanted for the wall we were putting it on.  Since some of the branches are so large I recommend having 2 people to put it up.  It was really fun to create this tree with all the blossoms and flowers.  Since we are able to choose where everything goes it truly is a unique work of art.  I love that these Wall Hugs stickers are re-positionable and re-usable.  So if you don’t put it exactly where you need it, no problem just peel it off and try again.  It really made the process so easy to do.

 

Once we had finished I stood back and gasped because it was so beautiful! Just from seeing it on the DesignYourWall website I had imagined it would look very pretty up on my wall but I had no idea it would be as gorgeous as it is.  The pictures can’t do justice to how adorable it looks in person.  It’s sooooo cute!  I actually keep finding myself going into that room just to look at how gorgeous it is :)

It literally takes up almost the whole wall in our room making it the adorable vocal point and a true art piece in the room.  Best of all it is available for the low price of just $49.99 at DesignYourWall.com.  That is an amazing price for such quality wall art. I love that it is affordable and easy and now my wall looks gorgeous like I spent hundreds to have it done!

 

 

 

 “Help your child become acquainted with the alphabet and animals of the world with our alphabet zoo wall decals. Letters and animals can be re-positoned and re-stuck to your heart’s desire. Animals include Alligator Bison, Deer, Elephant, Frog, Giraffe, Hippopotamus, Jack Rabbit, Koala, Lizard, Monkey, Narwal, Owl, Platypus, Quail, Rhino, Snake, Tiger, Unicorn, Vulture, Walrus, Xenops, Yak and Zebra.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve always loved wall decals, but they seemed like a hassle, and one that I purchased from Target a while ago kept falling off, so I was a little turned off by them for awhile. But nonetheless, I still was excited to try out designyourwall.com’s Wall Hugs! We were able to review the Alphabet Zoo, and I absolutely LOVE it! All the animals and letters are modern, cute, and fantastic colors. My favorite is the Owl. I knew exactly where I wanted them {the playroom} but have been meaning to paint in there, so I wanted to wait to set up our Animal Zoo until then. So in order to check them out, I just opened it and peeled off the Hippo & letter H. They’re supposed to be re-usable, right? Well what better way to put it to the test on the living room wall. Let me tell you, I was skeptical, but am now a believer! Both pieces stuck to the wall immediately, and didn’t seem like they were coming off easily. I was really hoping I didn’t ruin it! But when I started to peel them back off, they came right down, and I easily put them back on the roll. Magic! I saw some of their holiday Wall Hugs, and thought they are adorable, but there’s no way you could actually use them year after year- how could they stick to the wall well, but also come off, and still stick the next year? Well, I wasn’t able to answer HOW that’s possible, just that it is. I’m thinking next year I’m going to buy one of their fun little Christmas trees! I love that the Animal Zoo pieces all come separate, so you can use your own creativity- put them all together, or line them at the top of the wall around the whole room. I LOVE our new Wall Hugs, and am actually motivated to paint so I can get them all up on the wall! Thanks, designyourwall.com! Be sure to check them out, they have a huge selection of wall hugs, as well as retro vintage wallpaper, and even custom design wallpaper!

 

 

Super adorable little boy not included =)

  • They won’t stick to themselves making installation a breeze!

Dapper Snappers Big Kids Belts Review and $25 GC Giveaway

 

As Bug gets older I find it harder and harder to find pants that fit him right, so I imagehave been on the lookout for Boys Belts.  But with his age it is really hard to find belts he can actually buckle and un-buckle himself.  That is why I was thrilled to learn that Dapper Snappers now has Big Kids Belts! 

We reviewed Dapper Snappers a while back, you can read our Dapper Snappers review to see how we really like them.  Now I was excited to try out their new belts for kids.

When the belts arrived I was impressed right away.  The belt itself is fully adjustable making it possible to get a lot of use out of it as it grows with your  child.  It is made of suspender elastic so it gives a snug fit that is comfortable.  The best part is the buckle.  It is a magnet!  So 4 year old Bug can easily buckle and un-buckle it all by himself. 

It is really cute to see how Bug now feels like he is a “Big Boy” with his new belts.  He says with a huge smile “Dad look, I have a belt too”. 

They come in a variety of colors and fun patterns to match any outfit.

Dapper Snappers make wonderful Kids Belts and I highly recommend them!

Comotomo Baby Bottles Review and Starter Kit Giveaway

como6We have another baby on the way and we are pretty excited about it! I love seeing all the new baby products on the market and always want to try out the ‘latest & greatest’. I think Comotomo Baby Bottles definitely make it onto that list!

“Comotomo Baby Bottles feature innovative and sensible design to most closely mimic natural breastfeeding. Our naturally shaped, soft, silicone nipples are ideal for babies who have trouble transitioning from nursing to bottle-feeding. como10Your little one will love to hold onto the skin-like, soft and squeezable body that is like no other bottle in the world. And you will fall in love with our wide-neck design for brushless, stress-free, cleaning bliss. Our bottles are equipped with truly innovative vents that are smartly designed to prevent colic, while como7completely eliminating annoying leaks. They are quite possibly the most thoughtful bottles ever made. 250ml/8oz bottles come with medium flow nipples (2 hole) ideal for 3-6 months.”

I mainly nurse my babies, but I am not opposed to using bottles every so often. In fact, I plan on introducing a bottle to this next baby as soon as we have breastfeeding down. With 3 other kids, I need the como9freedom that a bottle will provide. In my opinion, there are very few bottles that help a baby transition from breast to bottle easily. And I haven’t actually found any that I really loved….until now! Comotomo bottles are squeezy silicone baby bottles that I know I will love using with this new baby! The nipple actually LOOKS similar to a mothers breast and the bottle itself is soft. I am really hoping this will eliminate the early nipple confusion that I have dealt with when all my babies were tiny.

comotomo5

The fact that these are easy to clean baby bottles is an amazing feature. I absolutely HATE cleaning baby bottles. It’s so difficult to get into the grooves and often times, I would have to wash twice because I missed the first time. With Comotomo, you can actually get your hand into the bottle because they are soft. No more brushes, and no more wondering if the bottles are clean enough to use!! Comotomo Bottles come in two cute colors (some of my favorite actually) and they are pretty stylish too! I don’t know about you, but I like functionality as well as style when it comes to products for baby. These are the perfect bottles for breast feeding babies and I cannot wait to use them!! comotomo4

Things that are BRAG WORTHY:

  • Naturally shaped, soft, silicone nipples
  • Ideal for breastfed babies
  • Wide-neck design for easy cleaning
  • Safe in: microwave, boiling water, dishwashers and sterilizers
  • Innovative & non-leaking anti-colic vents
  • Squeezable, soft, skin-like texture for happy baby

Whole Grain First Ingredient with General Mills Cereal with White Check + Cereal Prize Pack Giveaway

wg_prizepack  “Ringing in the New Year often means new eating habits. We know whole grain is important to you, and the Dietary Guidelines recommend choosing products with a whole grain listed as the first ingredient. Now every cereal with the white check has more whole grain than any other single ingredient with the same great taste. You will see “whole grain” as a part of the first ingredient on the ingredient list, indicating that whole grain is the first and most prevalent ingredient.

image

According to Dr. Travis Stork, emergency room physician and host of “The Doctors,” identifying whole grain products can be challenging. Shoppers can look for nutritional cues on the front of the box, but they need to read the ingredient list to know if they are getting enough whole grain. Ingredient lists detail ingredients in order of prevalence, and if the words “whole grain” are followed by a grain like wheat or oats, it means the food contains more whole grain than any other single ingredient. Here’s how to determine if your cereals have whole grain as a first ingredient:

With all the health messages facing grocery store shoppers, it can be confusing to translate what appears on food labels into nutritional needs, and hard to determine which foods have a meaningful amount of whole grain. Dr. Stork has some additional recommendations to help you include whole grain easily into your diet. They include:

  • Start Early! The Dietary Guidelines recommend people get at least 48 grams of whole grain in their daily diets. Get a jump-start on the day’s nutrition by incorporating whole grain into your morning routine. For instance, when choosing cereal make sure whole grain is listed as the first ingredient. One easy choice is cereal with the white check, which have more whole grain than any other single ingredient.
  • Make Simple Swaps. Choose whole grain versions of the foods you love. Great options include whole wheat pasta and whole wheat bread or even whole grain crackers. Also, try different types of whole grain. Use brown rice instead of white rice as a side dish at dinner or popcorn, which is a whole grain, for a snack.
  • Don’t Judge a Food by Its Cover. The front of food packages provide good nutritional cues, but don’t forget to read the ingredients and check the nutrition label and side labels for additional health information. Cereals with the white check even include the amount of whole grain per serving on packaging.

How_to_Find_Whole_Grain_lrg
To help with choosing products with whole grain, General Mills developed “Fast Lane for Whole Grain,” an online educational game. Consumers can navigate virtual grocery store aisles and identify products that have whole grain as the first ingredient, with the option to enter a sweepstakes to win one of each of the 50 cereals with the white check.

Make a commitment to add more whole grain to your diet by simply pouring a bowl of cereal with the white check including Cheerios®, Lucky Charms®, Cinnamon Toast Crunch®, Honey Nut Cheerios® and Total®.

For more information on the importance of whole grain and a chance to enter the “Fast Lane for Whole Grain” sweepstakes, visit www.WholeGrainNation.com.”

Zooper Tango Double Stroller Review and Giveaway ($499 Value!)

 

zooper1

I LOVE my new Zooper Tango Double Stroller!  It is a high quality stroller with fabulous features!  Watch my video review below to see how it functions and what I love about it:

 image

As you can see it is a GREAT stroller with many features to make your trip out and about with kids easy and comfortable.  It provides a very smooth ride thanks to the four independent wheel suspensions.  Your child can easily stay asleep while riding even when going over bumps.  You can push and turn this stroller with just one hand.  It turns on a dime and is effortless!

IMAG1353IMAG1361

IMAG1343

 

 

Each seat has it’s own individual recline and can be reclined to 4 different positions.  When reclined fully your child is laying in a flat position perfect for little ones who need to take naps while you are out and about.

One hand recline makes it very easy to recline and adjust the backrest.

image 

It has 2 separate canopy’s for each seat.  You can see the canopy’s full coverage in the images below: upright seat position (left) reclined position (right).

IMAG1348IMAG1344

IMAG1347

 

 

 

There is also an infant safety enclosure net on each canopy.  It provides security for your baby.  You can also unzip it (as shown) for air flow to your child or to check on them.

 

 

 

It comes with 2 infant head rest inserts (shown on the left) and has a 5 point harness system which is easy for an adult to buckle and un-buckle (not easy for a child).

IMAG1351

It also comes with 2 additional arm rest bars providing more leg room for older children.  All armrests are removable and are extremely easy to remove and reconnect.

IMAG1376

Large utility basket underneath can hold a large diaper bag as well as other items and bags.  Great for holding everything you need on your day out.

IMAG1340

  Zipper provides side access to the storage basket.  This is great because if both children are fully reclined you won’t be able to access the basket from the back.  With this feature you will still have access to cargo underneath.

IMAG1355

Both canopy’s have a large storage pocket as well as a smaller pocket with a flap closure. Great for storing pacifiers, wipes, cell phones, car keys, toys, etc…IMAG1373

It also has a removable cup holder on the side for holding baby bottles, water bottles, and or sippy cups.

IMAG1341

 

It also comes with a sun shade and foot muff accessory. Sun shade provides shade from the sun while still allowing your children to see the environment around them.  The foot muff covers both children and protects from the wind and rain (is water resistant).  Both are easy to put on and take off.  IMAG1371IMAG1368

The Tango is easy to open and to fold.  Once folded it stands on it’s own.  Folded it measures 42” x 30” x 14”.

IMAG1364IMAG1365

It comes with one infant car seat fastening belt which secures your infant car seat to the stroller.zooperinfant

I love the Zooper Tango side by side double stroller and highly recommend it!

Create & Print Your Personalized Photo Books ~ VioVio Calendar Review and $25 GC Giveaway

vio7I love photo books, photo calendars, and photo cards. Basically anything that I can personalize with pictures of my family, I love!! I had never heard of VioVio, and I was excited to try them out!

“One could argue that your photographs are your most prized possession. Their worth can’t be measured in dollars, and most people would grab as many photographs as they could from a burning house. Photographs are an irreplaceable record of your life, of family and friends, of events which mark the time line of your life.

vio

Viovio is the place where you can share your life and the wonderful journeys that color your living. We are an online community designed for photographers (professional and novice), travel enthusiasts, and those who want to combine the two. We provide you a place to upload photos, create vio2travel blogs, create photo books, and exchange information about your favorite places and memorable adventures.”

It usually takes quite a bit of time for me to make a photo book since I like to have everything perfect before I order. That is why I decided to make a Photo Calendar at VioVio. I figured it would be quicker and also, I have wanted to get a photo calendar for a long time so I figured now was that time!

vio4

My calendar really was very quick to make. All I had to do was upload the photos that I wanted (luckily we just had family pictures taken in October so I had the perfect photos to include!) and add them to the free 2012 calendar template. You can also purchase pre-made templates that other users have uploaded, but I chose to just go with the free one. Once my vio3photos were uploaded, the process took about 10 minutes. I was really excited when my calendar arrived. It looked great, my photos were all in the correct place, and I am very happy with the results. Now I get to see my cute family on my kitchen wall instead of random pictures of trees and birds (you know…that come on most of the free calendars you receive in the mail Winking smile). The only thing I would change is to add holidays to the calendar but it’s not a huge deal. VioVio makes it so easy to share your photos in several different ways!

Things that are BRAG WORTHY:

  • You can print photo books, design calendars, & create photo greeting cards
  • Each item comes in several different size optionsvio5
  • Create your own templates, use the free ones provided, or purchase pre-made templates designed by other people.
  • Photo Books are available in Softcover, Hardcover, Die-Cut, Imagewrap, and more.
  • Drag & drop your photos for fast & easy designing
  • You can even sell what you design on the website!
  • So affordable!

My Hikes Kids Pant Cuff Fasteners Review and Giveaway

greenshoe

My daughter is very tall for her age and she is growing like a weed! It is really hard to find pants that aren’t too big in the waste and perfect in length. So it’s great that she can use the new My Hikes kids pant cuff fasteners. These are the perfect item for her so that her pants aren’t too long and she can wear them with some fun style!

The My Hikes are super easy and fun to use and can be used by both adults and kids! For those of my friends who know me, they know that I am pretty flowershort. I am only 5’2 and so it’s really hard to find pants that aren’t too long. I hate having my pant legs drag in the rain or on the ground and get all beat up. These are perfect to use in my case, just roll the pant up and fasten! 

My Hikes™ Are Fun to Wear
Perhaps the best reason kids will like My Hikes™ is that the designs are fun to wear. The original artwork is whimsical, colorful and 3-dimensional. They make your kid’s cuffed pants look like cleverly accessorized clothing instead of a clothing mishap.

My Hikes™ Are Fast and Easy to Apply
My Hikes™ pant cuff fasteners go on fast and easily. Removal is easy, too.

Stepping on Pants with Our Heels Is Bothersome and Damaging
For both kids and grown-ups, when pants are too long, they get underneath the heels. This is bothersome to the wearer and damaging to the pants. Pants are even more likely to drag the floor when shoes are taken off. My Hikes™ helps keep the pants off the floor and in better shape.

Transition to the Next Size With Ease
As kids grow, there are "in between size" phases where their jeans or pants only look long enough if they stand perfectly still like a statue. The minute they walk, run, sit or move in any way, the jeans look TOO SHORT! As Moms and Dads, this is soooo annoying! And even though it bothers us, we tolerate the short pants for as long as we can stand it. That’s because we know when we first upgrade the size, the new pants will be TOO LONG! Stop letting the slightly too short pants embarrass you or kids! Go ahead and upgrade the size, now you have My Hikes™ to help.

Pant Sizes Vary Brand to Brand
Sometimes a 3 is an "age three" vs. a "3t." And other times, for no reason at all, a 4 fits in one brand and a 5 in another. It’s simply the way the universe works, there’s no point in questioning it. Pant length variations are yet another reason we created My Hikes™.baseball

Buy with Room to Grow and Get More Wear Out of the Pants
Amazingly kids can change pant sizes before the winter season ends. We’ve seen it happen! My daughter was a 3t at the beginning of fall and a 4t before winter was over. Looking back, I wish I had bought a little bigger from the beginning and used My Hikes™. With My Hikes™, you can buy the size your child will be a few months from now and save money on clothes. Kids and parents won’t find a little room to grow bothersome anymore!” (My Hikes website)

These cute Pant clips accessory are perfect for every season! Turn Longer shorts into shorter ones, and long pants into just the right size!

Things that are Bragworthy:

  • Perfect Pant Accessory for boys and girls
  • Come in several cute styles
  • Pants will now last longer, buy a size up and get more use out of them!
  • Transition to next pant size with ease
  • Kids will look stylish with these cute new accessories!

Mavea Elemaris XL Water Filter Pitcher Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

maveaI remember when we moved to Indianapolis and I first took a drink of water from the tap. It was terrible. Seriously. Lucky for me, we have a fridge with a water dispenser so we immediately went out and bought a filter for it. Now that our time here in Indiana is almost over (well….it’s about 6 months away, but that seems soon), I have been worried that we will no longer have a fridge with a dispenser. Tap water just isn’t the same as filtered water! That is why I am excited to have a Mavea Elemaris XL Water Filter Pitcher. Now I can be sure that the water my family and I drink will taste great AND be more clear. mavea2

“MAVEA is the new generation premium water filtration system made in Germany. It integrates the highest quality materials with intelligent design and a revolutionary recycling program that helps sustain healthy lives and a healthy planet. The distinctive European styling makes a statement on your kitchen counter or on your dining room table. The design strikes the perfect balance between mavea1form and function while easily and conveniently delivering clearer, cleaner, great-tasting water. Our radically new shaped filter delivers consistent flow and filtration over the life of the filter. No pre-soaking is required to activate the filters. Micro-screen in the filter reduces black particle release into the pitcher. The Elemaris XL pitcher significantly reduces chlorine taste and odor along with other unwanted elements. The unique pour through lid makes it easy to fill the pitcher; simply turn on the tap and hold the pitcher under it. The water flow opens the lid and it closes automatically when the reservoir is full.  The Meter takes the guess work out of knowing when to replace your filter. The rubberized feet and handle are molded into the system to provide an elegant and functional touch. The soft handle is comfortable to hold while the feet prevent scratching or sweating on furniture or countertops. MAVEA is the only water filter company offering a comprehensive filter recycling program. The MAVEA Elemaris XL pitchers are available in either black or white.”

This water pitcher with filter has a sleek look to it. Mine is black (which I love) with a soft grip mavea4handle and an automatic pour through lid for direct filling.  It fits nicely in my fridge too which is a must. If you have a smaller fridge, or don’t have a lot of extra space, Mavea also has a pitcher that is actually designed to fit in the fridge door!! I am really happy to have this pitcher on hand and will definitely be using it often for great tasting water!! Mavea is on Facebook & Twitter so be sure to check them out! Also subscribe to their blog for lots of useful information!!

Keeps Food & Dishes Where They Belong ~ Highchair-Helper Baby Placemats Review and Giveaway (2 winners!) [CLOSED]

helper“No more fumbling with suction cups that don’t hold or breaking out the cleaning supplies because your child pushed their food off the tray again. Ending spills is as easy as placing the Highchair-Helper on your tray and then putting your baby or toddler dishes on top. Cleanups go from using the vacuum or broom to just wiping the tray with ordinary water. Stop buying special dishes that don’t hold or those other baby placemats that barely prevent sliding and step up to the last child place mat you will ever need.”

helper3

The Highchair-Helper is a pretty cool little product. For toddlers like my son, who want to try out their independence but aren’t quite coordinated to do it all helper1themselves, it is a life-saver (or a sanity-saver). We no longer use the highchair for E during meal-time, but that is ok because the Highchair-Helper can also be used at the regular table. It’s basically a sticky placemat that keeps dishes from moving & sliding around so much. I have spent money on toddler dishes with the suction cups and they never stuck well to any surface. The Highchair Helper is a great alternative to keep food & dishes where they belong!! You won’t find any other toddler placemats Kim_Sig_Pinkthat compare to this one!

Lately we have been having a lot of spills at meal time.  Mainly with drinks. It is most likely because 4 year old Bug has so much energy these days.  I think he just gets a little to excited and then accidentally knocks over his drink.  I could helper2just go back to the sippy but he insists on using a “big boy” cup. I was getting frustrated but didn’t know what to do.  When I heard about the Highchair-Helper I knew it was the solution I was looking for.  The Highchair-helper isn’t just for high-chairs you can use it as a toddler placemat on any surface.  So we have started using it on Bug’s little table where he eats and it has been really great.  The Highchair-Helper is sticky and holds his cup in place.  It doesn’t completely eliminate spills but it has given us a significant improvement.  I love that if it loses it’s stickiness it is easy to clean with just water and goes right back to being sticky again.  I will definitely continue to use this with Bug and with the new baby as a baby placemat on the highchair once Heidi_Sig_Orangehe/she arrives.  It will be so nice to stick a bowl to the highchair-helper so then baby won’t be able to grab it and spill it all.  I recommend the Highchair-Helper to all parents of baby’s and toddlers, it’s a must have!

Things that are BRAG WORTHY:

  • Comes in Pink or Bluehelper4
  • Easily cleans with water
  • Save Money by using your own dishes and containers
  • Builds Confidence and Independence in your child while eating
  • Durable and long lasting
  • BPA-free, Phthalate-free, and PVC-free

Far End Gear Single Earbud & BuDLoKs Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

 

inearwmic

If you have been looking for running earphones, or earphones for any physical activity look no further.  I have found the perfect product for anyone who is active outside and loves to listen to music.  My hubby rides his road bike regularly and loves to listen to music as he does.  For safety he leaves one ear open (as you should) so he only uses one side of his headphones.  It always annoyed him that the sound quality was never right since standard headphones are made to use both sides he didn’t get the full effect of the music.  Also, it annoyed him to have to tuck in the other headphone to get it out of the way. He needed a single earphone to solve his problems.  Then I was introduced to

One Good Earbud:

“Designed for enjoying music or fielding mobile calls, our in-ear style earbud with in-line microphone can be worn comfortably in either ear for a secure, near-customized fit. Compatible with iPhone, LG, Blackberry, Motorola, and HTC smartphones, as well as all other mobile phones that accept a 4 conductor 3.5mm plug. image

Technical Specifications:

  • 4 Conductor Stereo 3.5mm right angle plug (same as 1/8-inch size plug)
  • Includes 3 sizes of rubber ear tips, to find your best fit
  • Sturdy metal housing provides top quality acoustics
  • Compatible with the iPhone, iPhone 3G/3GS/4, Blackberry, DROID, Palm, Samsung, Android, HTC, LG, Motorola, and other mobile phones that accept a 4 conductor 3.5mm plug, with microphone/button enabled features
  • Also works with audio devices such as Apple iPods, Sony MP3 Players, Laptops and Desktop Computers, as well as Sansa, Creative, Etek, Ativa, RCA and other low-cost MP3 players
  • Weighs in at 0.5 ounces (14 grams)
  • Stereo plug’s circuitry mixes both stereo channels (left and right) together into one earphone
  • 42 inch long cord”

The One Good Earbud is available in different styles: In ear, wrap around, iPod style, with or without a mic…For my hubby I got the In ear with Mic.  It is perfect for him since he likes to be able to answer his phone as he is riding, with the mic he is able to do just that.  The sound quality is great with this single earbud and he no longer has to worry about the other earphone getting in the way.  This earphone is great for any activity where awareness is needed as well as for use with his smartphone while driving, etc…This single earphone is also ideal for someone with a hearing impairment in one ear.

We were also sent BuDLoKs to review and I’m glad we were!

BuDLoKs:

“BuDLoKs replace the stock, in-ear budtips produced by other manufacturers. budloks-alone-blackglass6taThe soft silicone wing gently locks into the bowl of the wearer’s ear, comfortably locking it in place during general activity or vigorous exercise.
Try them with your favorite in-ear earbuds from Coby, SkunkJuice, JLab, GOgroove, Skullcandy, Beats by Dr. Dre, Monster, Klipsch, JVC, Thinksound, Sony, Sennheiser, Shure, Philips, and One Good Earbud to keep them from falling out.

Technical Specifications:

  • Comes with 3 sizes for a near-custom fit.
  • Easy to use.
  • Replaces the stock, in-ear budtips produced by other manufacturers.
  • Weighs in at 0.5 ounces
  • Soft silicone wing gently locks into the bowl of the wearer’s ear.
  • Comfortably locks earbuds in place during general activity or vigorous exercise” budloks-w-buds-blackglass3

BuDLoKs are a great way to ensure that your in ear headphones stay in your ear.  My hubby uses them with his in ear one good earbud while riding his bike and exercising and they work great.  He no longer has to worry about his earphone falling out while he is active.  They provide a really nice snug fit and since they come in a pack with 3 different sizes he was able to find the best fit for him.  And it worked out that a different size fit my ears so even more bang for our buck!

I highly recommend both One Good Earbud and BuDLoKs to anyone with an active lifestyle! You can see more info and purchase at www.farendgear.com.
