The Confessions Of A Stay At Home Mom
Like most new babies, Lucas loved being swaddled. With some blankets, I was never able to get a tight swaddle, especially in the middle of the night when zombie mom came out, and the Woombie was a lifesaver. A true baby must have item. Gently hugging the shoulders, tummy and hips, the Woombie allows for natural movement, softly cocooning your baby without restricting mobility or development. The … [Read more...]
We all know that staying active and fit during pregnancy is very important. For Two Fitness was born when the owner was pregnant with her first child and found stylish maternity active wear to be nonexistent. Stylish and comfortable maternity active wear, say it ain't so!? For Two Fitness uses flexible, stretchy fabrics that will flatter you, grow with you, and bounce back to look great even … [Read more...]
It wouldn't be a Baby Must Haves event without one of my favorite brands! As mentioned in my Baby Shower Gift ideas post, I am obsessed with aden + anais swaddle blankets. My obsession doesn't end with their swaddles, I love their entire line of muslin, fashion forward products. They are as stylish as they are useful; and as simple as they are beautiful. Baby girl was sent two of aden + … [Read more...]
When I think of "baby must-haves", I think of anything that makes baby happy while making things a little easier for mama. One of these things is a play mat. Having the option to put baby down for play time, and keeping her engaged, is going to be crucial for me as I take care of her two older brothers. I was sent the Tiny Princess Move & Play Gymini to test out and have high hopes that … [Read more...]
Being pregnant (thank you gag reflexes!) has meant a hiatus from cloth. Having been away from the 'sposie world for almost two years, I wasn't sure what kind of diapers (or what size!) would work for Lucas. After going through a few different brands and struggling with icky leaks, we finally settled on Pampers. They fit great and do their job well. To celebrate the Olympics this year, … [Read more...]
It’s hip not to be square. The distinctive oval shape of the Stokke Sleepi crib cocoons baby with nest-like serenity using the sturdiest materials Mother Nature has to offer with functionality to expand as your child grows. As with many Stokke products, the Sleepi grows with your baby. From mini crib to cot to junior bed, this is the only bed your child will need for several years to come. … [Read more...]
With baby number three just a couple of months away from making her debut, it was time we had the car seat talk. We recently purchased an SUV to accommodate our growing family and now needed to decide where the kids and their car seats would go. Our SUV can comfortably seat 7, with the third row up, but I was (and am!) extremely hesitant to put Adam in the third row all by himself. In my mind, an … [Read more...]

Tired of the oh so cutesy diaper bags that just scream "DIAPER BAG" and cater only to your baby while hiding your inner fashionista? Ashley, the chick in charge of Funktion, felt just that after her baby was born. After buying several diaper bags, I realized I loved my own handbags better and didn’t want all those baby bits to have patterns, polka dots, or giraffes! I wanted to carry a bag … [Read more...]
As babies, my kids never wore socks. Bad mom, I know. Between the dryer monster eating them and them falling off while out, it was a constant battle to keep socks on their little baby feet! I wish I had known about Rock-A-Thigh Baby socks then! Rock-A-Thigh are "thigh socks that rock and stay on top!" Unlike leg warmers, these are actual socks (they cover the feet) but they also go thigh up to … [Read more...]
One thing that we seem to go through like crazy in my household? Sippy cups. Between leaving them places, losing them, and who knows what else, I just can't seem to keep a good stock of them! Sippy cups are a definite must have in this house. Children come with a LOT of messes so anything that can make them a little less messy is awesome in my book. The Tommee Tippee Truly Spill Proof Sippy … [Read more...]

I also alluded to the fact that there will be lots of fun Chuggington giveaways and I am thrilled to bring you the first one! When our very first Chuggington shipment arrived and I pulled out three new MEGA Bloks play sets: the Chuggington Jet Pack Adventure set, the Chuggington Roundhouse … [Read more...]
With the Baby Must Haves event well underway, I hope everyone is loving the great companies Being MVP and I have been featuring and just know that there is so much more awesomesauce to come! The next sponsor, GoGo Babyz, sent me their Urban Advantage Stroller to test drive. I really enjoy having a stroller that is great for "heavy duty" walks in all terrain and provides a smooth ride for the … [Read more...]
I guess it's pretty obvious that I have some sort of stroller obsession... I am [admittedly] a stroller snob and love that I have the opportunity to test out different ones. With every stroller review I've done, I've found things I loved about a stroller and things that I would change. But? If I could combine all the "loves" into one stroller? It would be my dream stroller. The JJ Cole Broadway … [Read more...]
It's hot. HOT. Have you noticed? Here in Central Florida, we are already having days in the 80s and 90s, and it's only March! It's going to be one brutal summer! Luckily, the kids now have a water table to play with while keeping cool. As a Step2 Test Drive Mom, we received the Tropical Island Resort Water Table to test out. The kids have been eagerly waiting to play with this bad boy ever … [Read more...]
