Here I am, making a Multi-Testing Mommy Recommendation! This time, it’s a Piddle Pad made by Kiddopotamus. Boy, do I ever wish I had these when my daughter was a baby! She sure did have explosive poos in her carseat that were just a disaster to clean up. I first invested in one of these when my daughter was potty training. I was so nervous to take her anywhere without a diaper on, but I knew how important it was to remain consistent. I started off using grocery bags under her bum, but that didn’t last long. I realized they … Continue reading →

Inexpensive Valentine’s Day Idea

I went to the good old Dollar Store and picked up some inexpensive materials, along with some things we had at home, to make a fun activity for the kids with a Valentine’s theme! Little heart shaped boxes that open up filled with different “noise makers”. I doubled them up so that they could play a little game of “find the matching sound”. I also taped the hearts shut afterwards so that my 2 year old wouldn’t take them apart and make a mess of choking hazards. As I would learn later, the mess part wasn’t stopped… I put those … Continue reading →

REVIEW: Kidz Gear Headphones for Kids

Our kids love music. They love listening to music, playing music, dancing to music, you name it! When it comes to listening to music with portable players, adult headphones just don’t work! They are either too large and fall off their head or the buds fall out of their ears. That is why I love Kidz Gear Headphones that are made specifically with kids in mind! They are child sized headphones, but they are made to provide the same high quality performance as adult headphones. They are comfortable for children with padding for their ears. I just love how kids … Continue reading →
