The Best Baby Shower: Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Digital Video Sensor Pad Monitor Review and a Give Away

tt-bottles

What on earth would we do without the video montor?  It's a question I've considered many times throughout these past three years. Sure, you could live without one.  People certainly have.  But why would you want to? There have been countless times where our video monitor saved the day - or rather, our collective night's rest.  When Emma was young and very dependent upon her pacifier and then it suddenly went missing during the night. We would eventually have heard her crying and woken … [Read more...]

The Best Baby Shower: HALO SleepSack Review and Give Away

blue-cotton-sleepsack

During those first several weeks of her life, Emma wore a HALO SleepSack practically every day.  This, we found, was the easiest way to swaddle our new baby as inexperienced new parents, thanks to the velcro-wrap design.  The SleepSack's are both a wearable blanket and a swaddle all in one, which is great because as new parents know, using regular loose blankets is a no-no as they carry a risk of suffocation in those first months. Since the little guy will be arriving in late Spring, I … [Read more...]

The Best Baby Shower: Baby Bedding Zone Curtains Give Away!

babybeddingzone-drapes

When I was pregnant with my first child, I was working full-time and didn't get around to decorating the nursery completely until after the baby was born.  In fact, the room could still use some finishing touches.  This time, I'm home most days, and baby boy's room is almost complete. I'm having so much more fun decorating a boy's room.  The bedding I chose for his crib has a nautical theme, and I decided to carry out that theme throughout the room.  It's great when you can find those … [Read more...]

I'm now entering my third trimester, and the last thing I want to invest in right now is maternity clothes.  But trying to get by on the few items I have can be quite challenging too, not to mention boring.  When I heard that there was a company out there that offers maternity clothes for rent, I was beyond excited.  The concept genius. Here's a great way to expand your wardrobe without feeling like the money is going to waste, especially if you only have a few months left to your pregnancy … [Read more...]

Huggies Little Movers Slip-On Diapers Giveaway (Two Winners!)

huggies-slip-on

Diapers get so much easier to use as time goes on and your child graduates to pull-on diapers that fit like underwear.  That's why I'm so excited that Huggies came out with the new slip-on style diapers for the younger crowd.  I love these guys, especially for that crawly-squirmy stage I remember all too well. Available in sizes 3-6, they feature that slip on style with stretchy sides and wings at the leg, but they'll also velcro open for when it comes time to change baby … [Read more...]

The Best Baby Shower: Disney Cuddly Bodysuit 3 Pack Giveaway!

mickeybodysuits

Last Spring, I attended the launch of Disney Baby with the adorable, and ultra-comfy line of cuddly bodysuits.  It was difficult for me to decide what I loved best about them., and it still is.  It's definitely a tie between the inventive designs and the adorable -yet-not-too-cutesy Disney patterns. The event gave me baby fever in the worst way, and now that I'm expecting I'm even more excited to see the bodysuits on my son.  The hard part was deciding between two designs, so I asked … [Read more...]

The Best Baby Shower: Boba Baby Carrier Give Away ARV $125

bobacarrier

It's funny how your views on certain products can change with baby number two.  While at my shower I received a baby carrier, I only used it maybe twice at the most.  Once only to make room in my small shopping cart at Home Goods. It was easier before, in my opinion, to just plop Emma into her travel system and go.  But now that I'm going to have a little one and a very active three-year-old, I know I won't want to be wheeling around the stroller after child numero uno. A baby carrier … [Read more...]

Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Gel Sanitizers (Prize Pack Giveaway for 3 Winners!)

bathbodyworksLogo.png

We’ve been sick more than we haven’t thus far in the year 2011.  Having learned the hard way, we now never leave the house without hand sanitizer.  There are no stores right around the corner from us, so when we make a trip out it usually ends up taking several ours and we end up eating out at some point. Usually that’s after we’ve picked up germs from touching doors and browsing around department stores.  I have a pump container in my center console, but that only helps if we’re … [Read more...]
