Nuby Clik-it™ Soft Spout Insulated Cup Review and Giveaway

Image
This has been our favorite Nuby cup yet. With it's soft spout it is so good on our little girls swollen gums. This specific Nuby cup has the clik it lid. Just twist it on and wait for the click to know that it is locked tight. Some other sippy cups out there leak. I hate that. I love the clik it lids so that my daughters clothes don't get soaked. Such cute designs also. We chose the owl to test. But, the other designs to choose from are: a knight, spaceship, a whale, flowers and jungle animals. Colors and designs for both boys and girls. This cup is a little heavier than most cups due to it is insulated. It will keep your drink cooler longer. My daughter didn't seem to notice it being heavier. This specific Clik it cup holds 9oz of whatever liquid you would like to fill it with. I do not recommend pops though as the fizz doesn't pop up out of the lid. Most sippy cups are that way. You can purchase this cup from diapers.com for about $7.99 Five Lil Bass I

This stuff is GREAT! I am very picky about my lotions. I get seriously chapped skin, on my hands, during the winter. Around my fingers will bleed and my skin starts getting really ashy looking. It is not pretty. I have tried lotion after lotion, with nothing that really does the job I need it too. I am so glad that I got picked to do this review for Vaseline!

Devotions For Beginning Readers Book Review

Image
Super cute book! I have a little one who desperately struggles with reading. This is the perfect Devotion for him. He doesn't have to struggle with words that he doesn't understand. I love that there is a word segment that is like having a spelling word that is repeated throughout. Repeating words over and over again is great way to help your child learn that specific word. This book is written by bestselling author Crystal Bowman and award-winning producer Christy Lee Taylor. This book is 240 pages. It is a nice hard back book with beautiful, vibrant illustrations. My 2 year old loves just looking at the bright pictures, while everyone else reads. This would make a great Christmas gift to a child aged 5-8. I would say, that both boys and girls would love this book equally. Devotions for Beginning Readers doesn't just help your child read, it helps them learn to pray. Each devotions ends in a simple prayer for your child to pray. I was sent this book for my child

Forever Mom Book Review

Image
I thought that this book was very insightful! We are in the process of adopting our youngest child. We have had her since she was 3 weeks old and she is now a little over 2. Mary Ostyn gave tips and pointers on things to do. She gave ideas to fund raising, which we have done a lot of. Private Adoption and Overseas adoption is not cheap. Now, if you adopt from foster care it can be relatively cheap to free. Mary posted her heart on these pages. She wanted to adopt and the journey through it. Sometimes the choice is not the one you want. There are so many children out there right now that need a forever family. I have a friend who is over her limit for taking in foster children. They have so many that need homes that they are overfilling homes. Most people want babies because they feel an older child will cause problems. Do not always pay attention to movies. My friend has 5 teens in her home right now. Only 1 has been an issue. But, after being in her home for over a year now, she

Holiday Specs Review

Image
These Holiday Specs are such a neat idea for parties or if you have little kids. Holiday Specs are made of heavy cardstock, that have dark lenses. Each pair of specs has a unique design for seeing the tree lights. Some see stars that blink, some see elves, all Christmas designs. Just put of the Holiday Specs and look toward Christmas lights. The lights do not have to blink. Although, it does make the experience better since the designs dance as the lights dance. But regular lights are fun too! Due to having 6 kids, I was glad that the pack I received, to test, came with quite a few. The Santa flashing pin was so cute. We were able to look through each of the Specs and see the dancing designs. They have Valentines Day, Birthday, Fourth of July, St. Patricks Day and more...Great party bag gifts. We were also sent 2 of the plastic 3D viewer glasses. Each are $4 or $20 for a set. Christmas trees, Santa Hats, Snow Flakes, Snow Men and Reigndeer. Check out each of the Specs a

The Baby Banana Brush

Image
If you look at the shape of this silicone toothbrush you will notice that the child can't poke themselves, like you can with regular toothbrushes. The shape of the banana is perfect for their little hands. Great to teeth on while keeping their budding teeth clean! There are banana's and corn cobs, how cute is that? The Baby Banana Brush Story : A few years ago, my two-year-old grandson tripped and fell on his toothbrush as he was trying to brush his teeth. The traditional hard plastic toothbrush punctured the roof of his mouth and came within centimeters of entering his brain. As a mother of 8, I knew that this all-to-common occurrence of babies falling on hard toothbrushes should be preventable, but how? As these questions were on my mind, I discussed them with my daughter-in-law, who is a dental hygienist and with her insight the idea for a flexible infant toothbrush was born. She taught me about the safety specifications we would need, such as a slight "
