It's easy being green
Most of you are currently diapering a little one, or will be soon. Earth's Best provided us with some fun facts to share this month. I do realize that some of you use cloth diapers, in fact we use cloth part-time, but Earth's Best is a great disposable brand if you decide this is the route for your family. They are also great for trips or those times you need to get baby out of cloth for a few days because or rash/yeast issues. Take a look at … [Read more...]
We received a surprise delivery the other day! Earth's Best sent us boxes of their training pants for LA, diapers for Addy and wipes for both kiddos! As an ambassador I typically receive products each month, however, I was surprised at the amount they sent (and VERY thankful!) this month. The little ones were rather excited, too! Take a look at the fun they had with the packages and the help from Addy when Daddy was putting them away! I … [Read more...]
Do you sometimes look all around you and see tons and tons of baby clothes and think that there is just something more you wish you had for baby? I've done that a few times. We have a ton of clothes for Addy! I typically watch sales and buy seasons in advance and for some reason there seems to be so many more girls clothes than boys on clearance. Even so, I've often felt like there was something missing until I received this new dress from Very … [Read more...]
pediped® has become a favorite brand for our little ones. I've worked with pediped® before reviewing shoes for LA, but this time I was thrilled to get some springtime pediped® shoes for Addy, who would be walking outside for the first time! Because they have been fabulous shoes for LA (reliable, sturdy and his have held up so well), I knew I wanted this brand for our baby girl, too. We were sent some adorable brown and pink Originals® … [Read more...]
Samples Received for Review Purposes With warm weather finally arriving here in Michigan the little ones are wanting to play outside more and more. It's fun for all of us, but can be worrisome for this mama, too. I want to make sure my little ones are protected from the UV rays and that not only means their skin, but their eyes too! It's easy to think about sunscreen, but we mamas need to get into the habit of putting sunscreen and sunglasses in … [Read more...]

We received the BABYBJÖRN high chair to facilitate this review. All opinions are 100% my own and are not influenced in any way. Within the past few months feeding Addy has become a struggle, and even stressful. Many times I would hold her while trying to feed her and well, she isn't having that any more. She has become Miss Independent and wants to feed herself from her own plate that sits right in front of her like big brother has. She is a … [Read more...]
Halo SleepSacks are a must-have item for babies, in my opinion. I've trusted them with both LA and Addy and don't think I would have had the peace of mind I had when they were sleeping without Halo. It is common knowledge that blankets in the bassinet or crib are not safe. Halo SleepSacks are the answer to keeping baby warm in the safest possible way...by wrapping him/her in a Halo SleepSack. Safe Sleeping with Halo The reassuring thing … [Read more...]

I was provided with the Quinny Zapp stroller for purposes of facilitating this blog post. All experiences are honest and are not influenced in any way. I couldn't resist that title after hearing so often that the Quinny Zapp is perfect for "shorter" people. My husband and I are both considered tall so I wanted to test this stroller out and tell you how it REALLY works for "taller" people. I am 5'10" and my husband is 6'2" so I think we can … [Read more...]

I am an Earth’s Best blogger and was not compensated for this post, however I am sent products from the company. Full disclosure at the bottom. Chances are you see all kinds of foods have labels these days that say the item has DHA inside. What are DHA and ARA and why do we need them in our baby’s formulas and foods? Dr. Austin Abramson provides the answers to all of your questions below! For more details and to read the full … [Read more...]
Thank you to Comfort & Harmony for sending us the Cozy Cart Cover to use then write about our experience and thoughts. If you follow me on Instagram you know my little boy has been sick the last several days. Until flu season is over I try my hardest to keep the little ones clear of germs and although sometimes I'm not successful, I still try. Comfort & Harmony have made it a bit easier with their Cozy Cart Cover while in stores and … [Read more...]
I was sent the below mentioned product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own and are not influenced in any way. I personally used the product for several weeks before coming to these conclusions. Breastfeeding my babies has been a priority of mine since I became a mother and something I feel is very important. Because I work outside of the home I have needed to pump breast milk in order to keep my supply going … [Read more...]
Our little Addy has become rather fond of stuffed animals. She has also, as most babies/young toddlers do, become quite fond of tags. When I found out about the new Taggies™ Tag n’ Play Pals™ I knew the girly-pink elephant would be the perfect gift for her! We were sent one for review, wait til you hear about this! Looking for the perfect Easter gift to show baby how much you care? Babies can be difficult to buy for, but this year … [Read more...]
We have found peace of mind with our new Motorola video baby monitor. After reading about some infant and toddler deaths in the recent months, I am more worried than ever. I want to be able to see Addy and hear every noise she makes and the Motorola MBP 33 Wireless Video Baby Monitor has allowed us just that! The parent unit has a large 2.8" color LCD screen that is perfect for bedside or even carrying with you throughout the home during naps. … [Read more...]
Gymboree spells fun. It really does, to me anyway! I adore their styles and they make fashion for kids stand out! Gymboree has been dressing children since 1986 in their fresh, stylish and bright clothing. Their fashionable clothing and accessories are created to celebrate kids being kids in unique head-to-toe looks. In order to celebrate their spring line, Gymboree sent us a gift card to get some things for our little ones. We were able … [Read more...]
When you hear "Lansinoh", do you automatically think "breastfeeding products"? I sure do! They are a market leader in breastfeeding accessories and healthy innovations for mamas! In February, they released a new breastpump, the Lansinoh Affinity Pro Double Electric Breast Pump. As a mama who works full time outside of the home, I was thrilled to be lucky enough to test one of these out and tell you all about it! I have been pumping a total of two … [Read more...]
Traveling is something we love to to. Weekend family getaways are often on our schedule, however, it's not always been easy since having little ones. We have to make sure we know where they will sleep because we'll be needing a crib for baby's safety. When I heard about the Travel Crib Light 2 from BABYBJÖRN I was intrigued and knew it was something we would use often! When I had my youngest son nearly three years ago, had you said … [Read more...]

RSV. I'm sure you've heard of it. Colds and viruses this time of year are so common but can be so scary, as well. My two little ones are in daycare part time and keeping them germ free is impossible. We had many problems with LA getting sick the past two years, but this year it seems to have gotten better. Poor Addy is the one that seems to get all of the viruses this year. I worry about her constantly. With my husband being a teacher and being … [Read more...]
Moraki Cloth Diapers are new to the cloth diapering world. They opened in the summer of 2012 and released an amazing diaper that can be used as either an AI2 or a pocket diaper. Moraki was born from a desire to protect baby and earth and actually is a Greek word that means "baby". They offer a 30 day Wash and Wear Guarantee and an 18 month Warranty. The diapers are made by mamas right here in the USA, in California to be exact. This company … [Read more...]
