Breville Juice Fountain Plus

Thursday, June 13th, 2013

Wanted to let you in on the secret to my health and happiness the past few months…our recent purchase {as a treat to ourselves as parents} of the Breville Juice Fountain Plus juicer. IN LOVE!

Hubby pretty much juices every single morning using fresh fruits and veggies from our own garden, the farmer’s market, and our local grocery stores. Once you sip the beauty that is fresh juice, you’ll never go back to store bought. This mid-range priced juicer is perfect for the needs of our family. It works fabulously, never fails, and brings forth rich beverages even the kids enjoy! We compost as well so nothing is wasted. The strained remains of the fruits and veggies go right into our compost pile for next year’s garden.

Carrots and spinach, along with mint and pineapples are my go to items to juice. Hubby enjoys mixing every melon he can get his hands on and several tomatoes thrown in. This is the time to experiment with fruits and vegetables you never thought about actually eating…try juicing them instead!

We’ll share some juicin’ recipes over the Summer months. Stay tuned!

 

 

The Boba Carrier

Monday, May 6th, 2013

If you’ve followed us for sometime now, you know that this mama is back in the office 9-5. Daddy has taken over as SAHD. And he’s rockin’ it I must add! Sure the house isn’t as clean as I would like and poor Gigi is dressed in jeans and tees everyday, those are just the little things that don’t matter. He’s getting time with the kids he never had before, dinner is ready and waiting every night, homework is done, and everyone is happy…that’s all that matters. The hardest part for Daddy is remembering that when he goes out with baby girl in tow, he needs a well stocked diaper bag, the stroller, a carrier, toys…he’s gotten himself into a few pickles without the necessities a couple times. Now, we just leave it all in the van. Including his favorite carrier, the Boba.

The new Boba 3G was Awarded Top Baby Carrier by Baby Center AND by Tim Blake, stay at home daddy.

“Baby Wearing” doesn’t stop once the toddler stage hits. Put your infant sling to the side and grab the Boba 3G to continue the baby wearing bonding adventure in the utmost comfort! This carrier is fantastic for young and old “babies”. If you are a parent that is active all the time, out and about turning everyday into an adventure {or just running errands like a mad person with all the kids trailing behind or strapped to ya}, this is the carrier for you! Wear it as long as you like with your child awake or sleeping and your body will embrace the ergonomic design. Along with all the other bells and whistles it has…

Features:

  • 100% Cotton
  • Front and back carry options
  • Removable sleeping hood
  • Adjustable sleeping hood, adjusting in length to fit growing babies
  • Zipper pouch may be used to store your hood when not in use
  • Comfortably fits heights 5’0” – 6’3”
  • Waistband range: 25” – 58”
  • Additional adjustments for easier fit & breastfeeding
  • Patent-pending removable foot straps
  • Elastic bands neatly roll up straps
  • Shoulder strap holders keep purses and diaper bags in place
  • Easily adjustable chest strap
  • Uniquely designed to “hug” your child
  • Converts to an infant carrier without an insert
  • Extra head support adjustments for infants
  • Body of carrier rises 2-3” higher than other brands
  • Multiple pockets for on-the-go storage
  • High quality military grade buckles

As a mom who enjoys the fashion aspect of Boba, you are going to be thrilled with the designs! Soho is our favorite and the carrier we have. Hubby doesn’t mind at all that it’s actually pink.

But no worries, if you really want a TRUE daddy carrier, there’s camo! {The Special Edition Diaper Dude Boba Carrier is the newest addition to the Boba Carrier collection and is inspired by the Diaper Dude bags.}

Bring the Boba carrier into your life and truly enjoy every moment as a parent! There’s no reason to limit yourself when you have the family in tow, no matter your destination! We plan on having as much adventurous fun as we can have this Summer and we’ll be doing so with Gracie’s cradled comfortably in a Boba carrier on either mommy OR daddy, we’ll switch it up a bit, make it interesting. CHEERS to warm weather outings, exercise, and making memories with your kiddos!
