So, I decided to meet with moms around the neighborhood about twice a month and discuss certain topics. So, I figured, why not start a blog to talk about all the products we test out! This way, I can share my findings with moms all over.MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.comBlogger157125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-2594302583124716482011-06-17T12:06:00.003-05:002011-06-17T12:07:54.718-05:00Back in BusinessI have been out of the loop for quite some time now! It feels like forever. I realized how much I miss trying out new products and offering up my opinions in order to help new parents (and "old" ones) find the products that are going to work for them!

This "must have" for parents provides a snug, soft and wiggle free swaddle for your little one. It is made with the parent in mind. This easy to use swaddle is made of breathable cotton and comes in 2 sizes! We love the 2 sizes, not all babies are the same size and believe it or not, they do grow. The <strong>Snug n Tug</strong> is a triangular blanket, made especially for swaddling and has <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Velcro</span> that helps the blanket stay put all through the night. Another little plus to this blanket is the "safety" tab that pulls over the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Velcro</span> for when you wash it, so it won't snag your other laundry! </div><br /><div><strong></strong></div><br /><div><strong>Go Mama Go Designs</strong> has won a long list of awards, including <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">iParenting</span> Media</strong>-and have been featured in a number of magazines such as <a href="http://washingtonparent.com/articles/0609/tottips.html"><em><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">RedBook</span></em></a>.</div><div> </div><div>You can purchase your Snug n Tug at <a href="http://www.bebybaby.com/search.cfm?requesttimeout=500">Be By Baby</a>, a cute little online Boutique.</div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-55409196489944587312010-10-15T19:08:00.005-05:002010-10-15T19:44:02.519-05:00Wonder Bumpers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh71z1oZqKbURgMWadeyR3MUOJ36kzjWiP5iUZhU7QSlo11QSUbr7EnVe8W93xz_jg14TJKxyY698A_p5gTAJ00rkfB5776DLJ25FywghlbcpnhOYy2XhE9fCeO1ZY2_MqZDKeiqkoAqA/s1600/IMG_1095.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 185px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528432833973059458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh71z1oZqKbURgMWadeyR3MUOJ36kzjWiP5iUZhU7QSlo11QSUbr7EnVe8W93xz_jg14TJKxyY698A_p5gTAJ00rkfB5776DLJ25FywghlbcpnhOYy2XhE9fCeO1ZY2_MqZDKeiqkoAqA/s200/IMG_1095.jpg" /></a><br /><div>There are so many warnings about putting bumpers on your child's crib. Despite all the warnings, most parents still put them on, whether it is to complete the look of the crib or because they want their little one shielded from the hard bars. However, those warnings are real, and <strong>Go Mama Go Designs</strong> have come up with the perfect alternative...and of course, created by parents and tested out by parents as well.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>Wonder Bumpers</strong> are here! This great alternative to those old fashioned, pillow-like bumpers can help reduce the risk of <strong>SIDS</strong> and increase air flow. These <strong>Wonder Bumpers</strong> are super easy to put on, simply zip 'em up, they are machine washable and they are reversible too! They are extremely plush and there is no need to remove them when the crib turns into a toddler bed. Little G is almost 3 and we put these on her Big Girl bed and she fell instantly in love with them. They gave her bed a new look and brightened up her room.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>Go Mama Go Designs</strong> have been featured in many magazines, such as <em><a href="http://www.parents.com/baby/gear/registries-buying-guides/baby-products-we-cant-live-without/?page=13">Parents</a> </em>magazine and on TV shows all over, such as Fox News & CNN.

How about a huge planner with loose pieces of paper falling out that is an attempt to keep your schedule organized? <strong>Baby Carrots</strong> is the perfect solution to all of this. This journal offers 130 pages of pure organization. It is a coil bound planner, made on recycled paper, that helps you keep track of daily patterns. There are pages for detailed notes about your little one from day one all the way through their 12<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> month. It also contains a monthly planner to help keep track of your appointments. There is also a section to keep track of doctors appointments, immunizations, thank you cards, contacts and even a spot to put your little ones hand and foot prints. My favorite is the pocket that lets you keep all those little notes you write to yourself or little pictures to show your child growing up over the months. What most new parents need is some good advice. There is a whole section that includes some great advice for baby care, suggested reading, car travel with baby, recommended websites, first foods and some Momma advice. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>For $19.95, My Little <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Guppie</span> definitely recommends the <strong>Baby Carrots Journal</strong> for a shower gift or a "just because" gift for a new parent.

This app is called <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">TimeZup</span>!</strong> and is created by a Dad who needed to keep his toddler from the occasional meltdowns when it was time to leave the house. I am sure this sounds <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">familiar</span>!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">TimeZup</span>!</strong> app helps children keep track of when it is time for bed, when it is time to put their toys down or even when it is time to leave the house. It has verbal cues that are easy for kids to understand, and provides a count down for them that is fun and exciting. You can set the timer from 1 minute up to 10 minutes. The <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">TimeZup</span>!</strong> app has 4 voices: a Pirate, an Operator, Boy Wonder & Mr. Countdown. It is recommended for children 2 and up. It is available for the iPhone and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">iPad</span> Touch running OS 3.0 or higher.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I have a 2 1/2 year old and with my help, we were able to set it together and the first couple times we watched the countdown together until she got used to it. At first, we tried to use it for her time outs, but it became more of a game than a time out. We scratched that idea and after speaking with the developer of the app, he suggested using it for bedtime or <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">some other</span> activity. We used it for bath time. Once Little G got used to it, she knew to start putting her toys away when Boy Wonder shouted "30 Seconds!" and when the buzzer sounded and time was up, she was off to her bath. We were really impressed with the <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">TimeZup</span>!</strong> app and would recommend it for any parent with a toddler that needs a little coaxing when it comes to certain tasks.</div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-25997335804976715472010-04-11T20:35:00.003-05:002010-04-11T20:50:55.142-05:00Bumbleride, Indie Twin<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSDm0UwIIMRwbBnS2MsCG_0ftoo6P2s_k33Api4gkFCUxi0CjlCHE6XmmCYHQzEF0gr2Y-IIALBKVFvKp9UIYmsJT7IdCMLu51yv_ZkrJnXGV8Jd2yehnvrwzZt2ZyTNr2B7OTMj30yA/s1600/indie-twin-tech-stroller.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 247px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459062440607548642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSDm0UwIIMRwbBnS2MsCG_0ftoo6P2s_k33Api4gkFCUxi0CjlCHE6XmmCYHQzEF0gr2Y-IIALBKVFvKp9UIYmsJT7IdCMLu51yv_ZkrJnXGV8Jd2yehnvrwzZt2ZyTNr2B7OTMj30yA/s320/indie-twin-tech-stroller.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Looking for an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">uber</span> cute and easy to handle double stroller? The <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bumbleride</span> Indie Twin</strong> is a great looking stroller, very easy to put together, a breeze to handle and simple to fold up again!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The <strong>Indie Twin</strong> is a side by side stroller that is infant carrier compatible. You can have both your toddler and your infant ride side by side. The backrests, canopies and footrests are all adjustable, making your stroller unique to your child's needs. It is 29" wide, which makes it <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">maneuverable</span> through doorways and the swiveling wheels make strolling the neighborhood a breeze.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We loved that the handle is adjustable, so when I was using it I didn't have to have my arms at an uncomfortable height and when my husband was using it, he wasn't crouched over. The basket under the seat is quite large, easily fitting an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">over sized</span> diaper bag or spring jackets that have been thrown off because the sun was shining! The canopies provide great sun protection but also let the breeze through to keep your little one from overheating. It comes in some great colors too! <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bumbleride</span></strong> promotes that it is lightweight, and for a double stroller, it is. However, for me it was a bit heavy in general. The one and only thing that we did not like about this stroller is that even though it fits through doorways, most clothing stores do not have aisles big enough to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">accommodate</span> side by side strollers and when it comes to crowded festivals, it is very hard to get through the crowds. All in all, we would recommend the <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bumbleride</span> Indie Twin</strong>!</div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-29279524527143655162010-03-27T17:46:00.004-05:002010-03-27T18:02:12.584-05:00Environmentally Friendly Sandwich & Snack Bags<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXCgGFg_0-yhSS6ys5k-HQ_BGcfiSHFlKU9sbKyok1-iqdTfT7woIzlzLmtxHqnRn3CljVx_cNOC10NBZ6Euc3n8YGxzI4YgJOl0ZTfBUG3dNmGIvrYeWr9dwM7i5CaXxJkEW19vmdbQ/s1600/Soccer%2520Balls.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 221px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453452458868857186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXCgGFg_0-yhSS6ys5k-HQ_BGcfiSHFlKU9sbKyok1-iqdTfT7woIzlzLmtxHqnRn3CljVx_cNOC10NBZ6Euc3n8YGxzI4YgJOl0ZTfBUG3dNmGIvrYeWr9dwM7i5CaXxJkEW19vmdbQ/s320/Soccer%2520Balls.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZYGYqcyXvhUozb67l0aMo3yJ-yeM4t9Y8PcehEhW6LTgbzGI3WqHwEwexhbd4pbIYEUBHHdUJwn65iII9hILR30wu8PLs-u7XVouQo5pofxWARh1f3IbfIbb_IylCi6IaKQqWRa6EaQ/s1600/Bubble%2520Licious%2520Sandwich%2520(Custom).jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 270px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453452452432746818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZYGYqcyXvhUozb67l0aMo3yJ-yeM4t9Y8PcehEhW6LTgbzGI3WqHwEwexhbd4pbIYEUBHHdUJwn65iII9hILR30wu8PLs-u7XVouQo5pofxWARh1f3IbfIbb_IylCi6IaKQqWRa6EaQ/s320/Bubble%2520Licious%2520Sandwich%2520(Custom).jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Finally I found a reusable bag that I like! We are a recycling and reusing family, but it is so hard to wash out your plastic baggies-knowing that they are really clean. I just couldn't come up with a good solution to our baggie problem. Then I found <a href="http://www.reusies.com/">Reusies</a>, which are so great. Using one <strong>Reusies</strong> bag can save 100's of bags from being thrown into landfills. Each bag is 100% cotton and lined with leak resistant nylon (<strong>BPA, Lead, Phthalate Free</strong>). You can then close them with the velcro fastener. They come in snack and sandwich sizes and are available in about 40 different patterns too! They can be machine washed and dried, put in the dishwasher or washed with soap and water, left to air dry.</div><br /><br /><div>We love <strong>Reusies!</strong> We use the bags more for dry snacks than sandwiches, which is great for Baby G. She loves that they velcro closed (me too!) and that they are easy for her to open as well. I can't tell you how many snacks are saved not that they are not being spilled all over the floor. We also love the cute patterns they come in and each person can have their very own set of baggies. They are pretty inexpensive as well, when you compare it to how much you spend on plastic baggies that are thrown out. You can get the snack size bags for under $7 and the sandwich size for under $9. </div></div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-3026288590587449712010-03-27T17:26:00.004-05:002010-03-27T20:52:38.575-05:00Daddy Scrubs<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbar3AsHUKYeXfjKby7NzTtuqMvO8CSvQQnKPaokwzqhaeYcdEO2zedi5WE4UQZtbQRVBRUrRpdd5gPmj7K3qR4-gUhCMtV_GOYlCez6iqGtIe20W2KI3sp2lCTQHweS3ScpAowXpD9w/s1600/93.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 153px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453446035630385042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbar3AsHUKYeXfjKby7NzTtuqMvO8CSvQQnKPaokwzqhaeYcdEO2zedi5WE4UQZtbQRVBRUrRpdd5gPmj7K3qR4-gUhCMtV_GOYlCez6iqGtIe20W2KI3sp2lCTQHweS3ScpAowXpD9w/s320/93.jpg" /></a><br /><div>When Baby G was born, all my husband wanted for the hospital was a pair of scrubs. He always had this image that all dads get to wear scrubs when their child is born. I don't know what the fascination was with this, but needless to say, he was very disappointed when he realized he didn't get scrubs when Baby G was born.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Two years later, I found <strong><a href="http://www.daddyscrubs.com/">Daddy Scrubs</a></strong>! These scrubs are for father's at all stages of fatherhood. Being especially perfect for the Dad's stay at the hospital. These doctor-like scrubs let everyone know who the Dad is, with fun lettering across them saying "I'm the Daddy!" You can also get T-shirts with the same "I'm the Daddy!" on them. My husband was so excited to get these, and of course, can't to have another little one, when he can where these scrubs in the hospital. He tells me how comfortable they are and (he is going to kill me) has made up a dance with Baby G, that he calls "the Daddy" dance, that he can only do when he is wearing his scrubs. Daddy Scrubs was nice enough to give us a complimentary pair for a review, but I know I am going to have to buy him another pair! They come in green, khaki or blue and are under $40. </div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-64114259733325033682010-03-07T17:36:00.003-06:002010-03-07T17:53:18.986-06:00Looking for a warm, cuddly and breathable swaddle blanket?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSzY4xFQjnMJ4w390g4enUqnOBlrX6PeYZpc7ANiUGMagCyjSiyxerTId6DNjPqXsRL4IgSwIcg-HnR7YP25ImgLKTsA5H9Aw-i8-LOucEzhyL67DkbXST8p9MHGGJ5LuasRVZ8Vcslw/s1600-h/2026_180.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 180px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 271px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446044218829133906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSzY4xFQjnMJ4w390g4enUqnOBlrX6PeYZpc7ANiUGMagCyjSiyxerTId6DNjPqXsRL4IgSwIcg-HnR7YP25ImgLKTsA5H9Aw-i8-LOucEzhyL67DkbXST8p9MHGGJ5LuasRVZ8Vcslw/s320/2026_180.jpg" /></a><br /><div><strong>My Little Guppie</strong> has found the perfect swaddle blankets for your little one! <strong>Aden + Anais</strong> Muslin Swaddles were brought to us by a mother from Australia, who decided to share her family tradition with us. When she came to the U.S from Australia, she was not able to find the same type of cotton muslin blankets that she remembered from her childhood. She created an oversized swaddle blanket, large enough to be a stroller cover or even used as a blanket for tummy time that was made out of the gentlest muslin she could find.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Muslin is a unique material that promotes warmth and coziness, but also lets air circulate around your baby, keeping her from getting overheated. <strong>Aden + Anais</strong> has created several fun and whimsical patterns for you to choose from! You can buy a 4 pack for under $45. You can also visit their<a href="http://www.adenandanais.com/default.aspx"> site </a>to see all the great products that are offered.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Our reviewer has been using the <strong>Aden + Anais</strong> Muslin Swaddles for a little over a month and has given her approval, 100 times over! Her little one was born 6 weeks ago and the only way to soothe her is to swaddle her. Of course, with the cold winter months we have here in Chicago, she was worried about her little one being cold, so she would swaddle her in heavy blankets, but to her dismay, she always found her little one all sweaty! Once she switched over to the muslin swaddles, she noticed a big difference! Baby Rae seemed more comfortable, feel asleep and stayed asleep and was never sweating. She also uses the oversized swaddle as a nursing cover, which also keeps her from getting overheated! Be sure to check out <strong>Aden + Anais</strong> for some fantastic products.</div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-91896805436188650552010-03-01T14:54:00.006-06:002010-03-02T18:40:24.675-06:00Joovy, UltraLight Caboose<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh52WQ9pJ2DsxhoqP-9Cw1d_OOs9MG9DxUKgMWSBwfNnEgSitWZYATbkm4youyaepRi4ryyN9D2WNn_7l62Wwwu5iLt3Kly-MUTnSmaBfZeSA7wLk6Rut0s-G5-uncn_kLyJLAMzk7Iug/s1600-h/029.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443772040445734866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh52WQ9pJ2DsxhoqP-9Cw1d_OOs9MG9DxUKgMWSBwfNnEgSitWZYATbkm4youyaepRi4ryyN9D2WNn_7l62Wwwu5iLt3Kly-MUTnSmaBfZeSA7wLk6Rut0s-G5-uncn_kLyJLAMzk7Iug/s320/029.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6F1QXjqInWen23yq1hm9QTFh7xIw9BPiiKnK5Bjj3KEefv-SU4HVCt_Y_VYOxK-SY8LlK5MRcV1QeyGZ63kzFZgAipIcGgKgmM6TGgI_VltaekpC9E0OKWOLkTy7YIkuK5s46nf5n0Q/s1600-h/028.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443772032369368082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6F1QXjqInWen23yq1hm9QTFh7xIw9BPiiKnK5Bjj3KEefv-SU4HVCt_Y_VYOxK-SY8LlK5MRcV1QeyGZ63kzFZgAipIcGgKgmM6TGgI_VltaekpC9E0OKWOLkTy7YIkuK5s46nf5n0Q/s320/028.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Dmr6rDhq-Fup2yW862BFlIANeLxiNj9KzTqaWU4RGjCIgLM1d2k0YqjuHXWP7DITJmaxNRbOJ186ujLElkEV65N9tRCBsr7yOHbek2Q5GkjaDx3VCF7CrLNfsIeaYv_B4bDscq1c0Q/s1600-h/026.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443772028166233106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Dmr6rDhq-Fup2yW862BFlIANeLxiNj9KzTqaWU4RGjCIgLM1d2k0YqjuHXWP7DITJmaxNRbOJ186ujLElkEV65N9tRCBsr7yOHbek2Q5GkjaDx3VCF7CrLNfsIeaYv_B4bDscq1c0Q/s320/026.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfvUELtJ59DBlOfIkXQQemlTix8zZWYnRt1huy3zu5iBGvK116mHRXD15fCE7t9LMafjERaw2q3LNMtRPdUZyq2jZAxBkJs8H8PK6d8Ooyo2f0q0voRrxs0Y5Vc15oBYx0fko1Fqq4bw/s1600-h/023.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443772020947492978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfvUELtJ59DBlOfIkXQQemlTix8zZWYnRt1huy3zu5iBGvK116mHRXD15fCE7t9LMafjERaw2q3LNMtRPdUZyq2jZAxBkJs8H8PK6d8Ooyo2f0q0voRrxs0Y5Vc15oBYx0fko1Fqq4bw/s320/023.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>The <strong>Caboose Ultralight</strong> by <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"><strong>Joovy</strong></span> has us wishing Spring was here, with warmer weather and more time to take walks through the neighborhood! We couldn't wait to get out this weekend and try it out! </div><div>The <strong>Caboose</strong> can <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">accommodate</span> two children and is car seat compatible. It was super easy to put together, we did it in about 10 minutes. You can either use the front seat for an older child and connect the snack tray or snap on the car seat adapter and it becomes a great ride for your infant. While using the <strong>Caboose</strong> with a car seat, the back seat can <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">accommodate</span> a toddler in a standing position. Without the car seat, the child in the rear can sit as well. The new 2010 model has some improved features too! It now has 4 wheel suspension, which means a smoother ride for the back seat passenger. There is a 3 position seat recline for the front rider, versus the only 2 positions that were offered in previous models. It does come with a detachable canopy, an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">over sized</span> basket underneath (which has been made much larger than it was in previous models) and an organizer that attaches to the handle bar that can store your drink, cell phone or keys. </div><div>The seats are cushioned and very comfortable for the little ones. It was a bit warmer this weekend, but snow still on the ground and the <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Joovy</span> Ultralight Caboose</strong> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">maneuvered</span> around, and sometimes through the snow very well. Our favorite feature was how light this stroller was! It beats most double strollers, weighing in at only 21 pounds, it is almost as light as our single stroller! It was super easy to fold up, pick up and stow away in the back of my very tiny Nissan <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Versa</span>! You can purchase this stroller for under $275, a great deal for an excellent double stroller!

Designed by a couple of Moms and tested out by their kids, <strong>PakNak Charms</strong> are whimsical, 3D charms that you can put on your child's lunch box, backpack or lunch bag. These charms are soft and flexible and stick to just about anything! There are about 40 designs, that come with a super strong adhesive and velcro that makes each PakNak interchangeable, depending on you child's mood! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I really like the idea of personalizing my daughter's head bands with the cute little butterflys or ladybugs! Even the <a href="http://www.paknak.com/free-paknak.html">Website</a> is fun, you can download the entire collection of <strong>PakNaks</strong> in a fun to color coloring book for your kids! The one drawback is that if you don't want to have the <strong>PakNak</strong> on your headband, bag or lunch box anymore, it seemed a bit difficult to get the adhesive off if it had been on there for a while. It was very easy to remove and put on something else, if it was done rather quickly. Overall, I think these are great ways for kids to personalize their belongings and have some fun.</div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-3073369715438859342010-02-06T18:15:00.002-06:002010-02-06T18:39:36.682-06:00Lily PadzAre you looking for an alternative to your traditional nursing pads? I was contacted by <strong>Lily Padz</strong> and given a chance to try them out (not me, but a fellow reviewer).<br /><br /><strong>Lily Padz</strong> were invented by a Mother who was looking for something more comfortable and more affordable than the disposable nursing pads. She came up with<strong> Lily Padz</strong>, made out of a gas permeable silicone (allowing your skin to breathe), with a design that conforms to your body and helps stop leakage. <strong> Lily Padz</strong> are non-absorbent, but there is no need for absorbancy. With the unique design and flexibility, <strong>Lily Padz</strong> provide enough pressure to actually prevent leakage. The sticky underside lasts about 2 months with proper care, keeping you from having to spend tons of money on new nursing pads! What's great about <strong>Lily Padz</strong> is that they are virtualy invisible under most clothes, you can wear them while swimming and they can even be used with Lanolin.<br /><br />Our reviewer was very happy with<strong> Lily Padz</strong>. She was so excited to try them out and get rid of those bulky disposable pads. She was even able to wear a fantastic black dress for her anniversary dinner out with her husband! What she liked most was that they were so easy to wash and were dry and ready to wear again within minutes. Another favorite part for her was that she was able to sleep without having to wear a bra! Freedom, she said! She did have some trouble with them in the beginning with leakage, and with them being non absorbant...well, you get the picture. Once she got used to them, there were no problems and she has been using them for almost 2 months. Her plan is to buy a new pair and with them being about $30, they won't break the bank!MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-90474985700704331732010-01-23T10:00:00.003-06:002010-01-23T10:09:04.162-06:00Carnival Cruising...For Kids<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUm8yi-Ccy-xjRAgDohkluym4HTZbnC3-QnT9DPgvk1GwUWYlL1CoHqB5W6_HVTwHu3cuUlUFXOUOI8lsmWQKU02D_bPMLHXzJJdxlimU7VLuhB-MSDxKM6FnnlF_HCyzohTHf_e7ATg/s1600-h/tmp_camp_carn_act1b.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 114px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 71px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429967970092816754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUm8yi-Ccy-xjRAgDohkluym4HTZbnC3-QnT9DPgvk1GwUWYlL1CoHqB5W6_HVTwHu3cuUlUFXOUOI8lsmWQKU02D_bPMLHXzJJdxlimU7VLuhB-MSDxKM6FnnlF_HCyzohTHf_e7ATg/s320/tmp_camp_carn_act1b.jpg" /></a><br /><div>We recently took a <strong>Carnival Cruise</strong> with our 2 year old and had the best time! We were worried about not having time to ourselves, or that Baby G would be bored. It was just the opposite! <strong>Camp Carnival</strong> was a complete ray of sunshine (even though the sun was lacking on the cruise)! Throughout the day, Baby G could go to camp and see other kids, do arts and crafts and give Momma and Daddy some much needed time together. Whether at sea or at port, you can drop your child off at camp for a day filled with friendly camp counselors, running around and just being a kid! At night, we would all go to dinner, Baby G would eat and then we would take her back to camp. Camp closed at 10pm, and then turned into hourly babysitting. The hourly rate was $6...you can't beat that! When our trip was over, we got to bring home memories from camp too! Baby G made some great handprints, princess crowns, edible necklaces (that kept her occupied while waiting at the airport), a <strong>Camp Carnival</strong> tote bag, a T-shirt that she colored herself and many pictures to remember the day that Camp turned her into a bunny, complete with face painting and bunny ears! I would truly recommend cruising on <strong>Carnival</strong> and checking out the camp! There are 3 age groups: 2-5 year olds, 6-8 year olds and 9-11 year olds.</div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-81918438486057906512010-01-16T14:50:00.003-06:002010-01-16T14:52:02.486-06:00Lamie Pie WinnerCongratualtions to Kaylee of Cleveland, Tenessee!

It is a 70% organic formula made with Organic Aloe, Organic Comfrey, Organic Calendula and Organic Chamomile. You can leave it in, or rinse it out. Either way, your little one's hair will be silky soft and smelling yummy and you can be sure that her sensitive skin will not be irritated. I can't tell you all the gunk that Baby G put's in her hair, and getting a comb through it can be very painful for her. I use the Conditioner in the tub and rinse it out, but on days when I do not wash her hair, I use it as a detangler. It makes her tangles very manageable. I thought that leaving in the Detangler would make her hair look greasy, but it doesn't at all! We love this product.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I also tried out the <strong>Face & Body Moisturizer</strong>. Nature's Baby certified their own Aloe Farm so they would be sure that the Aloe used in their products would be safe and pure. Not only does Aloe have moisturizing properties, but it also can heal irritated skin. Made with Organic Aloe and Organic Olive Oil, this moisturizer absorbs quickly and locks the moisture in, keeping your little one's skin soft all day. This moisturizer is gentle enough to use everyday. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Visit the <a href="http://www.naturesbabyproducts.com/index.html">Nature's Baby Web site </a>to see all the products offered!</div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-5664648028576951222009-12-13T13:24:00.003-06:002009-12-13T13:27:38.447-06:00Final Thoughts On Sensa WeightlossAfter 2 months of using the Sensa weightloss system, I am down 10 lbs and have transformed the way I eat. Although I only lost 10 lbs (I was hoping for more), I think that Sensa has trained me to eat smaller portions and has gotten me on the road to permanently modifying my eating habits. I think that Sensa can help a lot of the over eaters out there and you will most likely lose weight along the way!

The <strong>Flair</strong> fit in perfectly with our reviewers "retro" style kitchen.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Not only was this a high chair a great conversation piece, it was ultra functional as well. Our reviewer loved the seamless design, which made cleanup very easy! The waterproof pad was easy to remove and also provided comfort for the little one. Our reviewer thought that the best feature was the pneumatic lift. This allowed the chair to be adjusted to any table with ease. The chair glides easily across floors but also locks in place as well. The tray is adjustable and removable for easy cleaning. You can find this chair in white/blue, white/orange and white/pink. Our reviewer thought it was very easy to put together, she did it without the directions. However, she did feel that it was a bit heavy to pick up (28 lbs). With Boon donating 10% of profits to children's charities, we thought the <strong>Flair</strong> chair was a great find!</div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-45368631394353674202009-11-08T16:14:00.003-06:002009-11-08T16:26:06.129-06:00Wallables<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP5y8kkEfGbYNl6bLlbS5lZDyyLaJUO3yEHUoQRz8fuNOko5SiFafCtECGinPV0UY7eJO3_cYBAA5YXThxkZs__3MDH2faugBaMZQpUxbuTsz691fNV6J4FpLw94IqTcAreIYuQ59aIQ/s1600-h/thumb_dragonfly-l.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 120px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 120px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401862566224122962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP5y8kkEfGbYNl6bLlbS5lZDyyLaJUO3yEHUoQRz8fuNOko5SiFafCtECGinPV0UY7eJO3_cYBAA5YXThxkZs__3MDH2faugBaMZQpUxbuTsz691fNV6J4FpLw94IqTcAreIYuQ59aIQ/s320/thumb_dragonfly-l.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Baby G always wants to grab at the pictures hanging on her wall...and now she can! Wallables-the soft, 3D wall decorations for children's rooms.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>These are so cute. When I found the website and saw the products, I had to have them right away. Wallables are a soft, 3D product, made from a soy based foam, that sticks to your child's wall with heavy duty velcro. The cute decor hangings can be removed and repositioned as often as your little one likes. Your little one can take them down and play with them, and you don't have to worry about them breaking or hurting your little one. Wallables come in all sorts of themes! You can get your favorite Disney characters, letters to spell your child's name or a bright and whimsical dragonfly or lady bug. We love Wallables and Dotty the Dragonfly is Baby G's favorite decoration on her wall! At a very inexpensive $19.99, Wallables make a great baby shower gift or birthday present for your favorite little one.</div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-2319501531636935482009-11-02T20:10:00.003-06:002009-11-02T20:22:11.765-06:00Triderma, Baby Skincare<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivVKGYyLW1gxhVsc0Z6EL04-seTVv_5i0lsDD_weXkXA0xE6CPJZB8pGkEcaFhOmxgW0N7vPsPAQhKpICkNACmwJxdD68knRbhGOCiQ7j3sDbkzYcGcHXb2SNWQiSOB9XoFCmwoTpSCQ/s1600-h/head1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 289px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 76px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399696887367423794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivVKGYyLW1gxhVsc0Z6EL04-seTVv_5i0lsDD_weXkXA0xE6CPJZB8pGkEcaFhOmxgW0N7vPsPAQhKpICkNACmwJxdD68knRbhGOCiQ7j3sDbkzYcGcHXb2SNWQiSOB9XoFCmwoTpSCQ/s320/head1.jpg" /></a><br /><div>I was happy when I found Triderma, I am always looking for something for my little one's sensitive skin.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>All Purpose Aloe Healing & Cleansing Gel</strong></div><br /><div>This is the all in one for scrapes and chaffing! It acts as a mild cleanser while it soothes and relieves irritated skin. The aloe gently cleanses and offers the skin nutrients to heal faster. You can use this to cleans scrapes, diaper rash or even to just protect your little one's chin from drool!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>Extreme Itch & Dryness Fast Healing Cream</strong></div><br /><div>This is a medical strength formula with sensitivity in mind. There are no harsh steroids or cortisone in this cream. It helps lock in moisture while helping skin block out harmful particles. You can use this for baby eczema or just everyday skin dryness. Baby G has eczema and this helped with the itching but did not irritate her skin. It kept her skin soft too.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>Severe Diaper Rash Fast Healing Cream</strong></div><br /><div>This non greasy cream offers 5 times the healing power of normal diaper rash creams. It soothes diaper rash, begins healing instantly and creates a barrier so that diaper rash won't come back. I really liked this cream, it was not heavy and thick. It felt more like a moisturizer than a diaper rash cream. It wiped off skin easily too. I do have to say though, Triderma Severe Diaper Rash Cream did seem to work, but I prefer my old stand by, Triple Paste.</div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137427446764438463.post-76066895179799513282009-11-02T19:56:00.003-06:002009-11-02T20:07:21.740-06:00HEART2HEART by ERGObaby<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit03qLQuY7zSkH7XsfNplsX9bMtMHp2udbB-RNAW3R1ivNV2Vwl18YmJ4Ocgcm8AB1QKaEbNreosC0liGSa2k5vVGn60fM3lxfwMVkP3i9heehmRMOllZJ2LKmC_mwX_e5v4BB8ChpUg/s1600-h/lifestyle2.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 213px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399693143697076594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit03qLQuY7zSkH7XsfNplsX9bMtMHp2udbB-RNAW3R1ivNV2Vwl18YmJ4Ocgcm8AB1QKaEbNreosC0liGSa2k5vVGn60fM3lxfwMVkP3i9heehmRMOllZJ2LKmC_mwX_e5v4BB8ChpUg/s320/lifestyle2.jpg" /></a><br /><div>The new HEART2HEART, infant insert has arrived! ERGObaby spent a lot of time working with customer feedback, research studies and infants to come up with the best possible way to carrier your little one...tummy to tummy.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The new HEART2HEART supports your infant's pelvis, hip joint and leg position which takes the pressure off of the unmatured spine. There is extra cushion to support your little ones developing neck and keep them comfy next to you for as long as you like.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Our reviewer was blown away by the new insert. With her first child, she used the original insert with her ERGObaby carrier and was happy with it. However, with her second little one, she got to try out the new HEART2HEART infant insert. Even though she was happy with the original, she felt that the new insert supported her little one more fully and made him more comfortable than before. He was able to sleep and be comfy, with the HEART2HEART that was contoured to fit his little body better. She was able to go about her day with hands free ease, knowing that her little one was safe and comfy, all the while being close to her, strengthening their bond as mother and son.</div>MyLittleGuppiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14741248549775084332noreply@blogger.com0
