BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light

BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light

One thing you are going to need as a new mom is a travel crib.  We have used ours on so many different occasions that it easily paid for itself within the first few months.  There were two things that were hard about it, the amount of room it took up and the weight.  I recently had the opportunity to try out the BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light which, I believe, should be on every mother's wish list.

This crib is so simple that it comes already assembled.  I remember my husband getting frustrated putting together our other travel crib.  The BabyBjorn Travel Light Crib was ready to go as soon as I pulled it out of the box!  The crib only weighs 11 pounds which makes it super easy to carry upstairs or lug along in a big hotel.  It comes with it's own carrying case that it conveniently folds into.  The BabyBjorn Travel Light Crib, when folded and in it's case, looks like you are carrying a bag.  You can put it over your shoulder and hit the road!

See it in Action:




The other part of our last travel crib that was tricky was putting it up and taking it down.  After a few times, we got the hang of it, but it was always hard for others to operate it.  The BabyBjorn Travel Light Crib can be opened in basically one movement.  I was able to set it up by myself as soon as I opened the box.  The travel crib was literally out of the box and set up in our living room in about 5 minutes!

Check out the BabyBjorn Travel Light Crib Competition!






Parents are also going to love that the fabric is completely machine washable (mattress cover and bed fabric).  Honestly, I don't know why a company would manufacture a baby product that is not machine washable!  It just makes sense.  The mattress pad is nice and thick which makes it comfy for babies.  The BabyBjorn Travel Light Crib is available in Blue and Silver (Silver is not available in Canada) and retails for about $279.99.  This crib is great for newborns all the way up to about 3 years old.

This product was provided free of charge by BabyBjorn. These are my honest opinions on the product. I do not post reviews on products I can not stand behind. Please see my Terms of Use for more info. 

This giveaway has ended!  Congratulations to Mail4Rosey!

What's Your Spring Time Comfort Food?  Tomato Sandwich Recipe

What's Your Spring Time Comfort Food? Tomato Sandwich Recipe

Call me southern, but nothing beats a delicious Tomato Sandwich when the spring and summer roles around.  I know that this isn't much of a recipe, but truly, if you haven't tried one, you need to!  I think what makes the sandwich is having quality mayo and also quality bread.  My favorite bread is Texas Toast and the ONLY mayo in the south is Duke's!  This is also a very inexpensive meal idea (especially since a lot of families grow their own tomatoes).

Ingredients:
One large ripe tomato peeled and sliced to the thickness you desire
Texas Toast bread
Mayo
Salt
Pepper
Your favorite cheese

Preparation:
Add mayo to both slices of bread and add your cheese.  Place the tomato slices on top of the cheese.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste over the tomatoes.  Heat a frying pan to medium low heat and add a dab of butter to the pan to deter sticking.  Grill the sandwich for a few minutes on each side until light brown.  Enjoy!

So, what is your spring time comfort food?  If it is a northern tradition bring it on!  This southern girl would be happy to try it!  For more recipe ideas head to Beauty and Bedlam as well as 5 Dollar Dinners.

Robots in Your Easter Basket! HEXBUG

Robots in Your Easter Basket! HEXBUG

If you are looking for a few gadgets that are unexpected to fill your kids Easter baskets this weekend, then the HEXBUG Micro Robotic Creatures are a great items to check out!

We usually try to keep the Easter basket fun without a million different pieces of candy.  We also like to find inexpensive ideas.  One of my favorites from HEXBUG is the Crab.  It really looks and acts like a crab.  When you clap your hands or have any other loud sound near the HEXBUG Crab it will scurry.  The Crab generally likes to find shade and will remain there until coerced out by light or sound.  It is a fun little gadget that will keep your family and even your family pet entertained.  For about $14.99 you will have an interesting toy that is the perfect size for an Easter basket.
The HEXBUG Ant is another great option for the fast paced kid in your life.  Have you ever seen a trail of ants on the ground and put down a stick or something in front of them?  They generally turn and start in the opposite direction.  The HEXBUG Ant does just about the same thing.  Once it is going it will keep moving forward until it encounters an obstacle.  The Ant will then head in the opposite direction, only it goes backwards.  Another nice feature is that it will run in carpet.  The HEXBUG Ant retails for about $11.99.

Both the Crab and the Ant are available in 5 different colors and come with batteries already included (thank you!).

This product was provided free of charge by HEXBUG. These are my honest opinions on the product. I do not post reviews on products I can not stand behind. Please see my Terms of Use for more info.

Dairy Does a Body Good.

Dairy Does a Body Good.

So, it seems that the only time I ever am in the mood for a glass of milk is when I am pregnant.  Both pregnancies have brought horrendous heart burn that requires loads and loads of milk.  Maybe that is why I have Gargantua sized babies?  Well, we will find out next week just how large baby number 2 is (as well as the gender).  I have always heard that your body will generally crave what you need, especially when you are pregnant.  Maybe that is why so many women claim to crave ice cream?


March is National Nutrition Month and the Midwest Dairy Council wants to make sure you all are informed about the importance of dairy in your diets.  Of course, we are all aware of the calcium that dairy provides, but what about the other essential nutrients and vitamins?  Here are some:

Vitamin D: Promotes calcium absorbtion
Protein: Builds and repairs muscles
Potassium: Helps maintain a healthy blood pressure
B12: Helps maintain healthy red blood cells and nerve tissue (also can help with depression)

(I also think they need to mention that it helps us preggos with heartburn!  Or, maybe that is all in my mind.)

The Midwest Dairy Council has also provided us with some excellent recipe ideas that involve dairy.  I definitely want to try out the pumpkin pancakes and the cranberry turkey wrap! Yum!  If you are looking for more resources on dairy and why it is important check out DairyMakesSense.com.

The Midwest Dairy Council sent me a prize pack to thank me for posting.  Please see my Terms of Use for more info.

Felicia, Where are You?

Felicia, Where are You?

I just wanted to write a quick note to let you all know that I am sorry I haven't been as present lately.  Life has been a bit crazy and both my son and I have been dealing with this yuckiness that seems to be going around (coughing, runny nose, sore throat, feeling drained, etc).  Being sick on top of 17 weeks pregnant, caring for a preschooler, and working my regular job has worn me down.  Last night I was so uncomfortable that I got up at about 5am to sleep on the couch for an hour before work.  I was so exhausted that I woke up right when I needed to leave.  To say that my body needs some rest and a break is an under statement.  I am working on catching up on emails and things should be back to normal soon.  Graham is starting to have less symptoms so that must mean that whatever this is should be hitting the road!  Thank you to everyone who has been stopping by and sending messages.  You all are so amazing and sweet!

SYLVANIA Halogen SuperSaver Light Bulbs

SYLVANIA Halogen SuperSaver Light Bulbs

We have been trying to cut back as much as we can around here and have even been looking into how much money we are wasting on energy costs.  A few years ago when our washer and dryer broke we decided to spend a few extra dollars and purchase the energy efficient models.  We also started slowly replacing our light bulbs as they would die with energy efficient alternatives.  Every little bit makes a difference!

The thing we first noticed about the compact fluorescent light bulbs was that we had to get used to the way the light looked.  It was definitely different from what we were using before.  SYLVANIA has a new energy saving light bulb that looks just like a regular light bulb (no weird looking tubes).  The SuperSaver Light Bulb actually saves you up to 33% when compared to incandescent lamps.  They are mercury free and dimmable.  I like the fact that the light seems more natural than some of the compact fluorescent bulbs we have been using.

You can pick up the SYLVANIA SuperSaver Light Bulb at a store near you or online at the SYLVANIA online store for about $4.29 for a pack of two bulbs.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of SYLVANIA and received products necessary to facilitate my candid review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Gummy Lump Toys

Gummy Lump Toys

Graham's art supplies are starting to overwhelm our house!  I am glad that he likes to be artistic and create things, but I was getting tired of picking the marker and crayons out of the various toy bins and cubes in our house.  Not to mention, every time he wanted to draw, I had to find his giant coloring pad that is usually stored behind his dresser (we are out of room).


Gummy Lump Toys specializes in many toys and brands that are favorites of ours.  Of course, they have wonderful wooden and classic toys, but they also carry the fabulous Melissa and Doug toys!  Gummy Lump sent us the Melissa and Doug Art Easel to check out to give us a feeling of some of the quality toys and supplies they offer.  The Melissa and Doug Art Easel happens to be one of their most popular sales.  I even have friends who own this particular art easel and have been more than happy with their purchase.  We can easily organize all of Graham's art supplies in the trays and adjust it to his height.  There is a space for a paper roll which is extremely handy!  One side is a chalk board and the other is for dry erase markers (we aren't brave enough to buy these yet).  Graham spends a great part of his day drawing and creating in this art station.  The quality of the art easel is also a plus!  It took my husband a while to put it together because it is made from wood and is extremely sturdy.


Besides the Melissa and Doug Art Easel, you can find all sorts of wonderful other toys to choose from.  Gummy Lump Toys offers you the opportunity to search for toys based on categories, brands as well as by age.  I really like it when a website offers options for search and includes an age category.  90% of items I have purchased have come from browsing by age.  This classic toy store has even taken the time to offer you the top 15 best sellers on their homepage.



Photobucket


Gummy Lump Toys is another great place to stop by if you are browsing for that prefect birthday present.  In my opinion, you can't go wrong with the classics!

This product was provided free of charge by Gummy Lump Toys. These are my honest opinions on the product. I do not post reviews on products I can not stand behind. Please see my Terms of Use for more info.

Great-Grandma's Potato Candy Recipe

Great-Grandma's Potato Candy Recipe

 The following is a recipe that I've enjoyed ever since I was a child.  It is my Great-Grandmother's Potato Candy Recipe and it is still good!  My great grandmother's family was from Ireland which is where this recipe originated from I'm sure.  Because of its age, there are no exact measurements!  Don't worry...it is easy!

 This is not my actual picture, but looks just like what we make!
Ingredients:
1 Large Potato (Irish Potato)
Powdered Sugar
Peanut Butter
Wax Paper

Instructions:
Boil potato until mushy and drain water off.  Cut into small pieces and mash up potatoes in a bowl.  Add powdered sugar a little at a time and stir.  You want to add until it is the consistency of dough.  Put down a sheet of wax paper and sprinkle it with powdered sugar.  Put your dough onto the wax paper and place another piece of wax paper on top and roll it out as thin as possible.

Spread peanut butter in the middle of the rolled out dough and leave a little room around the edges.  Roll the dough into a tight roll (as tight as you can get it). Slice into candy sized pieces. It's ready to eat! You can store it in the refrigerator and save some for later.

Head over to Bedlam and Beauty for more recipes!

Before we get to the fun part...meet Zigo:

Think GREEN, but to a whole new level! An all-natural, healthy adventure everyday, away from the pollution of automobiles. My oldest rides a bike like a crazy man and I'm only able to join him on weekends when hubby is home to watch the little ones. This would solve that problem in a heartbeat! A brilliant way to exercise for me while getting the kids out of the house and into the fresh air! And it's not just what you see above, keep looking, versatility is key with Zigo!

Zigo_Mode_CYCLZigo_Mode_TRLRZigo_Mode_JGRZigo_Mode_STRLR

Ride alone, or with your kids {front or back}, or use in stroller or jogger mode {easily converted into any mode in 30 seconds or less, no wasting time}. All-in-one; no need to buy a new bike, a bike trailer, or a jogging stroller...Zigo Leader X2 has them all in one spectacular product {with so many additional features {and accessories available} as well, view them all here}! Think of the possibilities! A "ride" to the park could mean so much more for the entire family! Anyone who is ready for a more active family lifestyle should look into this, cheaper than buying a "home gym system" for yourself, and that's just for you...what about the kids? If you've ever seen how thrilled little ones are to ride in a bike trailer, you'd been sold already!

Zigo_Urban_STRLR

Here's what founder Michael Ehrenreich has to say about the history the Zigo invention: "I was sitting on my front porch with my wife and then six-month old son one beautiful summer evening. My wife complained that her feet hurt after jogging with a jogging stroller. I said, "you need to cross-train." She said, "I want a foot massage." The rest is history. Over a period of more than three years and several designs, the Zigo LEADER took form. A fearless group of engineers, industrial designers, and now manufacturing and sales and marketing specialists were added to the growing Zigo family. We hope that you enjoy using your Zigo LEADER as much as we enjoyed building it."

Save 10% off your purchase with the code ILUVZIGO1.

I was not compensated for this post.  Zigo provided the giveaway.

This giveaway has ended.  Congratulations to "Nad" who entered at Happy Hour Mom!

New Charlie and Lola DVD is a Hit!

New Charlie and Lola DVD is a Hit!

There is a new favorite in our house lately and I have to be honest and tell you that I am a fan as well.  Have you seen Charlie and Lola yet?  It is from the BBC and is based on the popular Charlie and Lola books by Lauren Child.

The new DVD, Charlie and Lola Volume 10: I Can't Stop Hiccuping, is an hour and a half long and features 9 episodes.  Lola and her brother Charlie are always trying to solve different problems.  I even looked at my husband mid way through the show and said, "I hope our two children get along this well."  The first episode is a cute one in which Lola gets the hiccups as she and her friend Lotta are practicing their song for the school concert.  This is a cute episode that kept Graham laughing as Lola tries many different tactics in order to end her hiccups.  Her brother Charlie is right there with her trying to help her solve the problem as well.  If you have read any of the Charlie and Lola books you are going to want to check out this DVD as well.  Graham asks us to watch it over and over again.  Make sure you have a glass of strawberry milk handy!

The Charlie and Lola Volume 10: I Can't Stop Hiccuping DVD went on sale March 9th and can be purchased at Amazon.com for about $11.99.

This product was provided free of charge by BBC. These are my honest opinions on the product. I do not post reviews on products I can not stand behind. Please see my Terms of Use for more info.

This giveaway has ended.  Congratulations to Desiree!

MY PIXIES Doll.  A Sweet New Friend.

MY PIXIES Doll. A Sweet New Friend.



I am usually in the world of boy around here, so I love it when I have the opportunity to see new little girl products!  Graham's friend Claire was sent a sweet new doll by Plamates Toys called the MY PIXIES doll.


I was not expecting this doll to be so big!  Claire was more than excited to receive her.  She has been carrying her around every since.  The doll is gorgeous in my opinion.  It reminds me of the types of dolls that I loved to have when I was a little girl.  I must say that I have been disappointed in doll manufacturers lately for making dolls too "womanly" and provocative.  I love how this doll is so "little girl" friendly.  We were sent the purple Lilli Lollipop doll.  There are currently two to choose from.  These sweet dolls even have a fragrance to them!  That was one of the first things Claire noticed about Lilli.  Her wings are removable as well as her soft shoes and tutu.

This is the first in the brand new line that Playmates Toys is creating.  I am excited to see what's to come with these.  MY PIXIES are currently in limited edition availability in Kmart stores nationwide.

The Dinner Solution.  Menu Planning Software

The Dinner Solution. Menu Planning Software

Our family has been saving quite a bit of money each week just by me being more organized and intentional about what we are buying.  I don't have to use a ton of coupons to easily cut my grocery bill in half.  What have I been doing you ask?  I have been meal planning and taking inventory of the things we have on hand.  I have literally taken our grocery bill from about $100 a week down to about $50 a week.  This includes buying organic meat.

I was recently contacted by Karin Brough who is one of the sisters behind a brand new software called The Dinner Solution.  This software is a smart way to help you menu plan and organize so that you save!  If you find yourself spending over $100 a week on groceries or taking your family out to dinner more than once or twice a week, you might want to look into doing some menu planning.  Not only can it be healthier, but it is also easier on your wallet!

The Dinner Solution has been a great way for me to organize.  I can easily plan a week at a time (my brain just won't allow for more).  If you want to plan even further in advance you can do that as well.  There are recipes that are included with The Dinner Solution software, or you can easily add your own.  Once you have your meals added and planned...my favorite part...it prints out a grocery list for you!  All you have to do is add on the household items (if you need to buy any) and you are finished with your grocery list!  For me, this is half the battle!

You can also organize with The Dinner Solution by printing out freezer labels or inventory lists so that you aren't buying 2 more boxes of fruit bars on top of the 4 you already have in the cabinet (can you tell I have done this before).  Having an inventory also helps you make the most of what you have which saves you big bucks in the check out line.

You can purchase The Dinner Solution basic for $39.95 and the Premium for $59.95.   The Dinner Solution is only compatible with Windows.

This product was provided free of charge by The Dinner Solution. These are my honest opinions on the product. I do not post reviews on products I can not stand behind. Please see my Terms of Use for more info.

This giveaway has ended.  Congratulations to Cdziuba!
