Pure Joy Toddler Car Seat Cover Review

So, as many of you know, we are currently expecting our second little blessing.  When I was pregnant with our first (a baby girl), being the money-saver that I am, I thought I'd get as much gender-neutral gear as I could.  That way, if our second was a boy, we wouldn't have to replace everything.  Well guess what.  Our second is a girl!  Haha!  Now I want some fun, colorful stuff!

Thankfully, there's a wonderful shop called Pure Joy!  The sell infant and toddler car seat covers, stroller liners, blankets, burp cloths, bassinet sheets - all in fun, colorful patterns!  The awesome folks at Pure Joy were kind enough to send my toddler a lovely, fun Toddler Car Seat Cover!

Novica Gift Finder Review


 
You may remember the Novica review I did several months ago.  I love Novica!  They have lots of handmade items from all over the world!  Its an incredible place to shop for unique and beautiful gifts for friends and loved ones!  And with Christmas quickly approaching, we are in that gift-shopping mode around here!  Sometimes though, its hard to think of a gift for someone.  It can be really frustrating when you just don't know where to start. 

But Novica has changed all that!  They've recently added a fabulous Gift Finder to their website!  WooHoo!  It helps you narrow down the options when shopping for friends and family!  For example, are you shopping for an animal lover?  Just click on the "Gifts For the Animal Lover" section of the Gift Finder!  Need a hostess gift for a holiday party?  Just click on Hostess Gifts!

25 Days of Christmas - 25 Names of Christ (An Advent Idea)

OK folks! Tomorrow is December!  Can you believe it?  I can't!  Of course, that might have something to do with the fact that I was sick for practically the entire month of November.  Ugh!  Thankfully, I'm feeling better!  Anyway, with Christmas approaching, I thought I'd share a wonderful idea that I found on Pinterest - an advent for the month of December featuring 25 ornaments each with a name of Jesus!



I try very hard to make sure that my little one grows up understanding the true meaning of Christmas - that Jesus, the Son of God, came to earth and was born as a baby.  That He grew up, lived a perfect life, and died to save us from our sins.  Now, don't get me wrong.  We have a Christmas tree.  We exchange presents.  We have lots of snowmen decorations, etc.  But we try to also fill the house with things that remind us of Jesus - like nativities, decorations with Bible verses, etc.  So when I saw this idea I knew we just had to do it!

Potty Tots Training Program Review

With my toddler having at that age now, we've been working on potty training.  Some days are good, some days not so much.  Thankfully, I've found a nifty system to help us both out - Potty Tots Training Kits!



Oysterbaby Bamboo Sling Review

With my second little blessing on the way, I'm always looking for great baby products.  The  Oysterbaby Bamboo Sling is one of my new favorites!  The nice folks at Oysterbaby were kind enough to send me one of their slings for review...

Ecocentric Mom November Box Review

You may remember the review I did of Ecocentric Mom's August Baby Box.  It was such a great little box filled with handy products and product samples.  Well, the folks at Ecocentric Mom were kind enough to ask me to review one of their November boxes!  These boxes are great because they are full of fun, unique, eco-friendly products.  They are also very affordable - at just $17 a month (which includes shipping)!  They have 3 boxes to choose from: the Baby Box, the Mom Box, and the Mom-To-Be Box.  This time I chose to review the Mom Box, and let me just say, I was NOT disappointed!!!

Ecostore USA Review



If you're like me, you always looking for ways to keep your family healthier.  One way I've found to do that is by buying safer cleaning products.  Ecostore USA is a great place to get those products!  Their products are 100% plant-based!  Their website states:

"With ingredient selection, we take a precautionary approach. This means if there is any doubt about the safety of an ingredient, we find a safer alternative. That is why ecoSTORE USA is completely transparent to its customers by listing each and every ingredient contained in the products we manufacture."

Yoomi Self-Warming Baby Bottle Review

So, with our second little blessing on the way, I am constantly on the lookout for new and inventive baby items - especially if they make my life easier!  Because, seriously, with a toddler and a newborn, I have a feeling life is gonna be kind of hectic.  Haha!  Thankfully, I found the Yoomi Self-Warming Baby Bottle!
