Leave a comment

When I discovered that there was a company out there that sold ID Bands to children (specifically ones that weren’t disposable), I was super excited. I was even more happy to discover that they are a Canadian company! Vital ID offers a variety of Personal and Medical ID bracelets. Vital ID was generous enough to send me samples of Child Safety ID Braclets, Kid Safe Club Safety Bracelet, and Kid Safety Travel ID Band. Ever since my daughter has been able to walk and not ride in a stroller when we are out, I’ve tried to come up with a … Continue reading →

This contest is now closed!Winner is Comment #24! Congratulations, Amy!For giveaway details, please scroll down to the bottom of the post! I’ve always had a bit of a tummy, but after having children, it has definitely become my trouble spot, even more so!

Lunchbox Love

Growing up, my Mom always used to leave me notes. Fun notes and reminder notes EVERYWHERE I looked! My husband actually made fun of me (and my Mom) for the notes when he first met me. He mocked my Mom by leaving ridiculous notes around the house when she was away at the cottage (like don’t forget to dry your hands after you wash them). Now, our family writes notes just like my Mom did when I was growing up. Except, our notes are the fun and loving kind! My husband has left my daughter notes from the time she … Continue reading →

REVIEW: Oral B Toothbrushes and Toothpaste

One of, but certainly not the only challenge with regards to our 1 year old Little Man is getting his teeth brushed properly. I was very excited when I was contacted to try out some sample Oral B products for the kids’ teeth. What I like the best about Oral B Stages is that everything is clearly labeled by age. There are great characters on all of the brushes and pastes and the brushes are made with little hands and mouths in mind. I’m not sure there is anything that would really make tooth brushing fun for my little guy, … Continue reading →

Well, I have to admit that after giving birth to Little Man just over a year ago, I STILL haven’t got my period. Trust me, I am NOT complaining. However, I’m starting to wonder what exactly is going on with my body. Last week, I could have sworn that I was getting it, I even had full blown cramps, but still nothing! Anyhow, I received a box of Always Flexi-Style pads to try out. I tried them out and though I can’t tell you how they work as far as flow goes, I did love how they worked for me. … Continue reading →

BOOK REVIEW: Innately Good by Jan Denise

Leave a comment

I requested a review copy of the book Innately Good by Jan Denise. I’m constantly trying to word things in such a way that my daughter has confidence in herself as she grows up. As a young child and even through high school, I had little confidence. I’m not sure if it was the way I was born or a product of my upbringing, but I am determined to provide my daughter with as much assistance in this area as possible. I know that how we say things as parents are taken to heart by our children and we have … Continue reading →

REVIEW: Dream Baby Cable Lock and No Tools-No Screws Safety Kit

When I was offered some Dream Baby Safety Supplies for the house, I realized that it couldn’t have come at a better time for us. Little Man isn’t quite walking, but he is crawling, climbing and getting into absolutlely everything imaginable! I received a Cable Lock and a Household Safety Kit in exchange for a review. Although my son isn’t at the age where we need a combination lock on something, my daughter certainly is. This product is great for keeping things like medications locked up from curious children! I love how it is adjustable too, it makes it even … Continue reading →

REVIEW: Potty Pony Pals

When my daughter was just starting to potty train, I didn’t like using the traditional pull up diapers (except at night) because I felt like they really weren’t much different than the feel of a diaper and this didn’t give her the feel that she needed. I searched the earth looking for cotton training pants and could only find one type (that worked, but weren’t super). Since then, a company called Potty Pony Pals has approached me and sent me a pair of the Pony Pals in exchange for a review. Although my son isn’t quite ready to start potty … Continue reading →
