You may remember that, a couple of months ago, I did a review of the Tiny Love Sunny Stroll.  We love that item!  Its so much fun for baby and so versatile!  Well, the AWESOME folks at Tiny Love were kind enough to send a couple more items for review!  The first item we received was the Super Mat...

This mat is so big, it was hard for me to get a picture, so I just took a picture of it in its packaging!

pan2.jpeg

I love finding new and creative toys for my kids!  Recently, I was contacted by a brand new toy company called Hullabalu.  They have been busy creating fun stuffed animals for little ones to enjoy!  Their toys aren't up for sale yet, but I wanted to give all of my readers a heads-up!  Hullabalu has been drawing inspiration from some other fabulous toy companies, like Melissa & Doug!  They sent me this adorable Melissa & Doug teddy bear to demonstrate what kind of quality toys they hope to make in their new company...

Natures Paradise Baby Products Review

I remember when my first little one was born.  She had a HORRIBLE case of cradle cap.  She also suffered with some pretty rough diaper rashes.  I'm convinced that the harsh chemicals in most baby bath products were to blame.  Thankfully, I've found a new company with some great products for out upcoming baby - Natures Paradise Organics!  Their products have NO CHEMICALS - NO TOXINS - NO PETROLEUM - NO SYNTHETICS - NO PARABENS - NO PHTHALATES - NO BPA - and NO SULFATES!!!  WooHoo!!!

Small Concept Toddler Outfit Review

As I have mentioned so many times before, I LOVE shopping for clothes for my little one.  I'd rather shop for baby and toddler clothes than for my own!  Haha!   And once again, I've found a GREAT online shop that has some wonderful baby and toddler clothes - Small Concept!  Their mission is simple: "to provide quality products and deliver only the best in customer service."  The awesome folks at Small Concept were kind enough to send my little one this Stun Cheer Tunic with Lemon Capri Leggings for review -

DP (de-pee) Stain & Odor Remover Review

We recently started potty training our little sweetheart.  We are taking it slowly, but I'm sure we are going to have a few accidents along the way.  And, well, we have carpet.  I've never wished we had hardwoods so much in my life!  Haha!  I don't look forward to the accidents on the carpet, but they are just part of potty training.  Thankfully, I found DP Stain & Odor Remover...

Jack & Lily Baby Shoes Review

As a mom, I'm always looking for quality items for my kids.  Shoes, in particular, are important to me.  You see, a cheap shirt may wear out quickly, but won't really do any harm.  Bad shoes, however, can actual cause your little one harm. Doctors say that young children who are learning to walk should actually go barefoot.  It helps their bodies grow right, etc.  Of course, we all know that you can't always go barefoot - especially if you're outside or in an unfamiliar setting - so shoes with soft, flexible soles are suggested.  Jack & Lily Shoes fit this description perfectly!

The wonderful folks at Jack & Lily were kind enough to send my impending arrival a couple of pairs of shoes to review!  I received their Original in Solid Cream in sizes 0-6 months and 6-12 months...



BG Birthing Gown Review

I remember when I gave birth to my first little blessing.  I wasn't really thrilled to be wearing that typical hospital gown that they make you wear.  Its ugly.  Its not super comfy.  And, if you want to get up to walk or go to the restroom, well, you are gonna flash the world!  (Those gowns don't really have great coverage - especially for a pregnant woman!)

I asked my OB if I could wear what I wanted this time.  She told me "yes and no."  The reason they want you to wear those hospital gowns is because they have buttons at the shoulders - in case you need or want to change your gown during labor.  That way they don't have to take your IV, etc. out for you to change your gown.  They also like them opened in the back so that you can easily get an epidural, etc. - if that's what you need or desire.

Thankfully, with this baby, I can have the best of both worlds!  I can wear a SUPER comfy gown of my own while still complying with the medical staff's wishes.  How?  With the BG Birthing Gown!

HIS-Child Maternity Shirt Review

I have found the most wonderful maternity store!  Its called HIS-Child Christian Maternity and Baby Clothing.  The folks at HIS-Child were kind enough to send me a maternity shirt to review!  I received this lovely Sky Blue T-Shirt...

(Picture courtesy of HIS-Child website)
 
This shirt is so soft and comfy!!!  Its made of 100% cotton!  But the best part of this t-shirt is what it says!  The top of the shirt has the words "For this child I have prayed..."  And the bottom of the shirt has the Bible verse's reference - 1 Samuel 1:27...

Witjuti Bamboo Clothing Review

OK, I am SOOO excited about this review!!!!  I've found some FABULOUS maternity/nursing clothes from a wonderful Australian company called Witjuti.  Bare with me a second and let me give you a little quote from their website:
"Witjuti Bamboo Clothing range was created after founder and designer, Banika Smee, was working at home with her new baby boy. After sleepless nights, and being woken up to delivery drivers knocking at the door at 10am to find she was still in her PJ’s and just got out of bed, Banika thought all she wanted was to be able to wear something that did not look like her PJ’s, and still had support and comfort that she needed. She wanted to be able to go straight to the supermarket, do a yoga class, or go for a walk without having to change into uncomfortable clothing, especially after having a caesarean and while breastfeeding!"

I know how she feels!  I think every woman who has had a baby knows that feeling!  I'm feeling it right now - and I'm just a few months pregnant!  But I want to be comfy and yet not look like I'm wearing pajamas all day.  Witjuti has solved that problem for me! 

Banika sent me 3 items to review.  The first item I received was this lovely Singlet Top in black...
