My Baby Nest

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

 It’s a “baby wearing” world out there!  Everywhere you go you see hip mamas wearing all different styles and types of baby carriers.  I’m in the love with the carriers that are a bit versatile.  For example, can you breast feed and “wear”baby at the same time?  I can now!

 

 

With your carrier, can you wear baby in a nursing position, on your hip, facing forward, in the back, tummy to tummy??  You can with My Baby Nest!  This wrapless sling provides 5 carrying positions!  It’s made to evenly distribute baby’s weight for less pressure on mommy’s, or daddy’s, back and more comfortable support for baby.  The Baby Nest Carrier is the only carrier that gives full support to premature and newborn babies.  It’s the most comfortable bonding experience you can have!

Why switch from a regular sling for newborns, to a front carrier once they can hold their heads up, to a hip sling, to a backpack carrier, when you can have it all in one!  I must mention the fantastic material too; stretchy, lightweight, breathable, non-bulky, oh so comfortable!   My Baby Nest has one practical feature after another.  How about a carrying bag for better storage {small enough for the diaper bag}, and of course it’s completely washable!  Don’t sacrifice comfort or endure back pain or listen to baby cry one more minute, this sling is the answer to all your prayers!

My Baby Nest Carriers were honored with iParenting Media Awards 2008 Product Excellence Award

BawlBaby

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Oh, I was so lucky with my first 2 children, they always kept the milk down! No spitting up whatsoever! My newest little man on the other hand, let’s just say I go through 2 loads of laundry a day, just burp clothes! But I can happily say I found a burpie that is super absorbent, large, and unbelievably luxurious {yet still remaining practical}.

BawlBaby carries “Luxurious Essentials for Chic Mothers and Babies”. Their burp clothes are quite unique, not only are they made of the softest, most absorbent material I have ever seen in a burpie, they also have two large pockets built in for all those little items baby needs that get sucked into the couch on a daily basis. Pacifers, tissues, those important gas drops, baby socks, etc…throw this cloth over the arm of your favorite recliner and never misplace it or any of those items again.

BawlBaby says: “We put huge efforts toward research on our product and its durabilty at being a ‘High-End Luxury item’ -We certainly push the envelope with ‘designs and fabrics’ that take the test of use and time with washings after washings. The core of our products are in our designs and function for the everyday care-taker (Mom or Dad). Our Goal: Luxury products should still look good when washed and used.” And as a tester, I agree! Our BawlBaby burp cloth has held up to everything little Aidan has thrown at it {which is about a gallon of spit up a day}, several washes and it still looks brand new, no stains!

Look at this one {above}, the new Daddy Collection!

I give this product my 100% approval! I can honestly say it took me a few weeks to get up the courage to use it, it really is so luxurious I was scared to ruin it. Now I don’t know why I waited so long! This would truly make a fabulous gift!

Here are some fabulous discounts from BawlBaby: Save $10 on any 1 Ultimate Burpie Collection with the code BabyLux, save $20 on any 2 with the code BabyLuxDaily, and save $20 on any custom BawlBaby Burpie. ENJOY!  {Valid until the end of August}

 In this day and age everyone is online, or should be.  It’s the fastest and easiest way to keep in touch with friends and family; especially when you start a family.  Once a child enters into your life, there’s not much time to sit down and write letters or mail photos of your little bundle of joy.  A Kidmondo online journal is the best way to organize your child’s milestones and photos to share with your loved ones quick and easy!

Kidmondo.com offers a personalized journal for each child along with everything you’ll need to share all those special moments.  This is a wonderful online keepsake!  AND a great way to stay organized!  Here are the features you can expect when you start your own safe and secure Kidmondo journal:  A online diary, photo gallery, an about page, growth chart, medical and food journals, and interactive timeline.

I have always been a “baby book” keeper, all three boys have one but again, who has the time to sit and down fill them out. So, since I’m positive most of us are online all day long for career or personal use, make life easier on yourself and keep/share your child’s growth via our fabulous internet!

This is your story to tell, have fun bragging about your family!

Mamaluxe Edition

The search for the perfect stroller can be a grueling one {to me it’s about the same as car shopping}; especially a double stroller! Seems the more children you have, the harder it is to go out of the house {obviously}. So, either you never leave home, or you invest time and money into finding the perfect stroller for your family’s needs. Tots on the Go is there to help and fit your family into the stroller of your dreams!

 

I mentioned car shopping for a reason. You look for similar features between a stroller and a car: size {small or large family, single or double stroller vs. compact car or Mini Van}, safety features, maneuverability, accessories, modern style, price, etc… My point: you may use your stroller just as much or more as your car {now a days especially with gas prices so high} so take the time to pick the right one for your growing family. Tots on the Go has plenty to choose from, today’s Babyluxe pick:

The Valco Baby Twin Latitude Stroller.

 

Whether it’s the fully reclining seats for baby, the adjustable height handle bar for hubby, or the generous amount of storage space underneath for mommy, my family has enjoyed every aspect of this remarkable stroller. Tots on the Go states this is “the perfect go-to stroller for our parents on-the-go”! That is a perfect statement for almost all parents who have 2 or more children. The best way to entertain kids is to be “on-the-go” right? Feature after feature, this is one fantastic stroller! It’s a lightweight, narrow, durable, compact-fold double stroller, which is hard to find with a side by side. The easy reclining seats are independent of one another and are compatible with many name brand infant car seats. I love the extra large storage compartment, great for the mall!

 

 

 

 

 

I highly recommend this stroller if what you are looking for is an easy to use, easy to maneuver, easy to store, easy on the eyes double stroller! But no worries, if this is not for you, if you only have one child for example, I’m positive Tots on the Go has the stroller you have been looking for; including all your other travel gear needs as well!

 Tots on the Go will give a free Carry You Demi Milan {for a single} with the code BabyLuxeS and the Carry You Sicily {for a twin} with the code BabyLuxeT with your purchase.
