Organization. It’s hard when you have a newborn or toddler(s) on your hands.  Some days it seems like everything is everywhere and things are  totally disorganized!  Well, life is made simpler with the amazing products that baby daze  has to offer. From their  incredible baby organizer to their awesome sitter slips and packing pal’s, you will be so much happier and feel much more organized!!

Let’s start with the baby daze organizer. Oh, how I wish I had this when I had my boy.  Everything you need is in one binder.  This 8 section organizer is specifically designed with the new parent or expectant parent in mind!  Things like feeding and diapering, medical info, and milestones to name a few.  How perfect is that! All in one place, to make your life much easier!  A must have for a new parent or parent to be.

I was so excited when our baby daze samples arrived. First we got the amazing baby daze little ledge. Love it! Its a shelf that can hold all important items, but not take up a ton of space. Comes in 4 awesome colors.  Then we got the baby daze packing pals and sitter slips. These are the best.  The packing pals is a handy list for the day, little trip and for a big trip. All on one list, so you remember everything you need! So many times I have gone somewhere and of course forgotten something for my boy, but not any longer, thanks to this list!  The sitter slips list everything you need for your sitter to know. From phone #’s, emergency info etc, all in one list, simply awesome!

Just when I thought I had tried them all, and I was accepting the fact that my little guy was just not into being a “sling” baby, Baby K’tan comes along with a fabulous carrier that Harrison actually loves!  My initial reaction to Baby K’tan was that it seemed like too much fabric & I wouldn’t know what to do with it all.  That said, I’ve had several weeks to play around with the sample that I received, and we’ve found SO many practical positions, so the extra fabric isn’t such a big deal after all!

Available in a ton of great colors, including several organic color choices, made of 100% cotton {or 100% organic cotton}, the Baby K’tan carrier is as comfortable as it is cute!  A cross between a traditional pouch sling and a structured baby carrier, the Baby K’tan gives you a ton of carrying options {literally, choose from eight different ways to carry your baby}!

What do “we” love about the Baby K’tan carrier?  We love that we can discreetly breastfeed in it!  It has come in handy on so many occasions when I’ve needed an extra “hand” to hold Harrison in place {read, 3 year old calls for help from the bathroom} while he is nursing & it has kept me all contained while doing so.  We are also big fans of the front, facing out carry.  Harrison is a rather “social” guy, and he loves being able to sit right up in front of me & see his world as I carry on about my day.

Although we don’t have twins, I hear that Baby K’tan is absolutely perfect for moms with double the fun!

All Baby K’tan carriers come with an extra piece of fabric, a sash, that can be used as extra support around the carrier.  If you don’t feel the need for the extra support, like me, it serves as a fabulous burp cloth or nursing cover when you’re in a pinch!

We’re going on vacation next week, and while I’ve stressed over strollers, booster seats & other gear that we need to bring along, one thing I haven’t thought twice about is what sling we’ll use!

Baby K’tan is offering a 10% discount to BabyElan readers until April 1st.  Please enter ELANKTAN at checkout!

Baseball practice started this week.  Machine pitch for the 8 year old, first tee-ball season for the 3 year old {he’ll be 4 in 3 weeks}.  This means that life has officially gotten even more hectic for the Blakes, if that was possible!  Also means snack-time, dinner-time, and weekend lunches for about 4 days out of the week will be served on the baseball stands or lounging in the grass behind the dugouts once the weather gets a bit warmer.  Reusable snack totes, here we come!!!

I will NOT, will NOT, HAVE NOT bought plastic baggies for our lunches and away meals in quite some time thanks to all the reusable baggie companies out there!  I’ve tried my fair share and have never had a complaint!  Today I want to introduce you to the sturdiest ones I’ve found so far, plus the most “educational” for my pre-schooler.  No fancy designs from Graze Organic and that is totally not a bad thing!  When it comes to a hectic life and three very territorial little boys, simple and “the same” is what matters most!  So when I say, “Connor, grab your snack bag…” he’s learned which Graze Organic bag has “snack” on it.  Of course, they still fight over the “surprise” one {little do they know that one of these days I’m going to fill it with broccoli…SURPRISE!!!}

See, Graze Organic bags are educational like I mentioned.  My 3 year old knows the difference between them all, the pictures helped him learn the words and I have the confidence that when I’m watching T throw the ball at 6:30pm and chasing A as he heads for the port-a-potties and C is whining for his sandwich {AKA dinner on the run} I point him towards our cooler {which yes, is reusable too} and he knows which bag to open to find his sandwich!  Same goes for his {daily} pre-school lunch, all the bags are pre-labeled for us and easy to open for C so there’s no prep work for him or his teacher.

And what compliments I’ve received!!  Everyone is in love with reusable everything now a days but the simple “fruit” baggie from Graze Organics has gotten me the most comments while out and about {first was at a hockey game while the boys shared Goldfish from the “snack” bag and the family next to use was enthralled by Graze Organic bags!}.  Oh wait…I mentioned how sturdy they are right?  I’ve tried several other companies and these are the thickest, most durable ones yet!  Made in the USA from 100% certified organic cotton & hand silk-screened using water-based inks BTW so no worries on the material that is storing your child’s food.  I’ve been ever so impressed with our set of samples from Graze Organic and I thank them for easing my woes as baseball season crashed down on our family!!  GO PS ROYALS!

Organic Cloth Napkins too!!

Now that my girls have hair that really holds a style (even if that style is pigtails), I have so much fun accessorizing their little heads!

Imagine my glee when these arrived in the mail:

How stinkin’ cute?  I could hardly wait to do their hair next!  (and all you moms of girls know that it’s not the most fun task and one that often involves bribing!)

I am a huge fan of packaging, because it really shows the thought that the creator has put into their product and Hair Bon Bons are no exception.  Mine arrived looking like wrapped lolly pops!  How adorable!

Check out this packaging:

I just love that this is something you can order as a gift and know that the recipient will be tickled when they receive it!

Each Bon Bon is made with such care!  You can clearly see the quality, and the style is exactly what I love!
