Candy Cottage Review

OK folks!  I am SUPER EXCITED about this review!  WooHoo!!!  (Can you feel my excitement?)  ;)

I recently found The Candy Cottage online and thought it was such a cool idea!  So what is it, you ask?  Well, its a no-bake, reuseable, washable gingerbread house!  WHAT!  :)

I LOVE to decorate a gingerbread house at Christmas!  So much fun!  In fact, there are times when I wish I could decorate one in the middle of the year.  Well, now I can!

The Candy Cottage is the brainchild of two really creative moms!  Not having time to do the baking required to make a traditional gingerbread house, they asked a local craftsman to build them a wooden one.  Now they've taken their idea and manufactured it into this ADORABLE sturdy, plastic cottage!

My little one's items arrived in ADORABLE boxes!!!  I mean, seriously, how cute!!!  These boxes reminded me of the old hat boxes that women used to receive whenever they bought a new hat!  LOVE!

The first item I received was this lovely Coat and Leggings Set.  How cute is this set!!!  The coat has an adorable pink button on the front and the leggings are trimmed with lace.  This is the PERFECT set for a special occasion but its also SUPER comfy, so it could be worn anytime!

Aurora World Inc. Crinkle Friend Review

Aurora World Inc. recently released a new line of toys called Crinkle Friends.  Crinkle Friends are colorful, cuddly and filled will lots of fun things for babies to play with!

As I mentioned, these crinkly creatures are full of color!  This makes them very attractive to infants and toddlers.  They are also super cute and cuddly!  My little one grabbed this adorable toucan as soon as I pulled it out of the package!  And, as the name suggests, they are full of "crinkle!"  :)  There is crinkle material in the stomach, wings AND tail!  





Booginhead Splat Mat Review

My little one is at that age where, well, a little bit of everything she's eating ends up on the floor.  Sometimes she throws it one the floor, but most of the time it just accidentally slips through little toddler fingers.  Because of this, I feel the need to sweep at least 3 times a day (after breakfast, lunch, and dinner).  And I'm not a big fan of sweeping that much.  I have enough to do!  ;)

Thankfully, the good folks at Booginhead have solved that problem for me!  They sent me one of their AWESOME Splat Mats to review!

AlphaBeasts Review

Are you trying to teach your little one the alphabet? Or how to spell their name?  Then you may want to check out AlphaBeasts. 

AlphaBeasts are 26 individual stuffed toys - each with a different letter on their stomach.  What a cute way to help teach a child the alphabet!  Each of the 26 AlphaBeasts is unique and each one has a different silly name.

For this review, I received the AlphaBeast with the letter "G" - named "Gumblegoop."  These stuffed toys are such a cute way to teach your little one!  Buy all 26, buy the letters of your child's name or nickname, or just buy their initials! 

Vitamins Baby Blankie Buddy Review

Vitamins Baby is an online baby clothing store.  They have some really adorable clothes, pajamas, socks, etc.  But they also have some of the most adorable "lovies" that I have ever seen!  My little one loves to sleep with a little lovey.  And I love it too because its small and easy to travel with.

The awesome folks at Vitamins Baby sent my little angel one of their Giraffe Blankie Buddies to review (which is AWESOME because she loves giraffes)! :)

What I love about this Blankie Buddy:
1.) Its small, which makes it portable!  (Its the perfect little lovey for traveling with your little one.)
2.) They are sold in 2-packs!  This is SO great because, if you have to wash one, your little one will still have the other to sleep/play with!
3.) Its machine washable.  As a mama, I can tell you I LOVE LOVE LOVE a toy that's machine washable!!!
4.)  And its SOOO cute!!!  Seriously!  Check out this sweet little face...

Sleep Buddy Review

My little one just recently transitioned from a crib to a toddler bed.  That's always a tough transition.  All at once, your little one receives a great amount of freedom.  That can be very tempting - and also very scary - for a toddler.

The folks at Sleep Buddy have come up with an awesome way to help with this transition!  The Sleep Buddy is a night light for your little one.  But its no ordinary night light.  This little gem has a built-in timer.  You set it to turn on during your little one's nap time AND their bedtime. 

The light automatically shuts off when its OK for your little one to get out of bed!  What an AWESOME concept!!!

When you buy a Sleep Buddy, you also get this cute little book a read to your child.  It explains what the Sleep Buddy is and how it works...

Ecover Cleaning Products Review

 

Have you heard about Ecover?  Its a company that makes some INCREDIBLE cleaning products.  So what makes these products so incredible? - They use plant-based and mineral ingredients!  (Their motto is "Powered By Nature.")

Ecover makes all sorts of cleaning products - from dishwashing aids to household cleaners and laundry detergents  to hand soaps.  They even make car and boat washes and wax!

The awesome folks at Ecover were kind enough to send me several products to review:

The first product I received was their Automatic Dishwasher Tablets ...

The tablets are phosphate-free, which is awesome!  But Ecover hasn't just considered what they put into their products.  They've also taken very seriously how they package their products.  The box is made from 95% recycled cardboard and the plastic wrappers are 100% recyclable!  I think that's awesome!

Buddy Fruits Review

I'm always looking for healthy, natural snacks to feed my little one.  Buddy Fruits fits that description PERFECTLY!!!  They pouches are nothing but fruit!!! I love the fact that they come in these convenient pouches instead of jars.  It makes them SO portable!!!  I can squeeze one into a bowl for my little one, or I can simply unscrew the top and let my little one suck on it!  That makes it the PERFECT snack on the go!!!!

The AWESOME folks at Buddy Fruits sent my little one several packages of Pure Blended Fruit and several packages of Pure Fruit Bites to review.  - And boy does she LOVE them!!!

The Pure Blended Fruit pouches come in 8 different flavors: Apple-Banana, Apple-Cinnamon, Apple-Strawberry, Apple-Multifruit, Banana, Mango, Peach and Mango Passion & Banana.  Each pouch contains one full serving of fruit!
