Citizen Pip

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

It’s back to school time and Citizen Pip is ready to help us all out by making school lunches more fun, waste free and muck free!  {Muck free means no nasty stuff like BPA, lead and phthalates are included in these products.}  What a great way for any child to carry their lunch in style with containers as healthy as the food we parents place in them!

Citizen Pip makes it easy for all of us to make a small change that will later result in a larger impact.  Going reusable will at a very basic level help shave off some money at the grocery store after crossing baggies and other disposable containers from the list.  That may seem a bit selfish but to be honest with you it is one of the reasons I was excited about the opportunity to sample one of the Citizen Pip lunch bags.  Although school has not begun for us yet {we start this Wednesday}, my son has happily toted around his “Sport Style” bag to the beach, park and for a 3 hour car ride to grandmas.  He loves that it looks cool and that this lunch bag makes him feel like a big kid!  I love that it is spacious and very easy to clean!

Citizen Pip has many different options for everyone.  The “starter kit” includes the lunch bag, containers and a water bottle.  For those who may already have a lunch bag or box the “byob” kit includes all of the accessories like a fork and spoon set, reusable napkins and insulated food jar and more.  There are of course many options including purchasing items individually.  These are all great ways to help your kids get ready and get excited for a new school year filled with fabulous lunches!

“See you later alligator, after a while crocodile”, a saying that still to this day reminds me of my grandmother.  She said it everyday of my life growing up, funny picturing a grandmother saying that to a 7 year old!  And it was fabulous to find a tee for my youngest from Kinderbliss that sports “See you later gator” {pic of gator}, now it’s time for me to pass on this silly saying to my boys!

A quick mention from there current press release:

AGE Design Kids HiLo Chair

Monday, August 9th, 2010

With three little ones in the house, we’ve been through our fair share of high chairs, booster seats & alternative feeding seats.  Our first, a traditional chair of bells and whistles, including three removable, washable trays, a toy attachment, wheels, 3-level recline & multi-height settings, for whatever situation you may be in.  You might think this sounds great, and it was, except for a few things; the padded seat was a nightmare for cleaning & the obnoxious amount of space it took up!  So when #2 came along, I knew I wanted something smaller & easier to clean, so we got a simple hard plastic booster chair.  It was compact, portable, easy to clean, and tucked away on a chair, under the table when not in use.  This sounds perfect too, right?  Well sure, as a 4 person family.  You see, we only have 4 “good” stools for our dining room.  The other two are let’s just say “not so good” or actually “too good” so I don’t let anyone sit in them…  They are for decoration & extreme circumstances when we need extra seating.  So when it was time for our 5th family member to share the dinner table with us, we needed another alternative.  Something small, easy to clean & something that packed a practical punch!

I am so thrilled to say we have found this with the AGE Design HiLo Chair for kids!

Here, in no particular order, are the top 5 things I love about the HiLo Chair:

  • Clean up is a breeze; simply wipe down with a wet cloth
  • Compact in overall size, but still plenty of room for baby to sit in the chair!
  • Wheels for maneuverability; it goes back and forth from kitchen to dining room on a daily basis
  • The look!  So modern/retro, fun & fabulous!
  • Practicality!  When done using it as a high chair, simply flip it over & you have a “Lo” chair to pull right up to the table!

Just like mommy, Harrison adores his new chair!  He’ll sit in in for long lengths of time, just “talking” to us, watching his brothers, watching me cook & clean & even play with his toys on the tray!  I put together a little clip of Harrison sitting in the HiLo Chair, so you could get a real live look at how much he too loves his new Chair!  I had wanted to narrate the video, but bare with me, I am new at this video stuff…

If you are local to Charlotte & you are expecting or just had a baby, definitely plan to attend the October All About Baby event to get a glimpse & demo of the HiLo Chair up close and personal!

A sample HiLo Chair was provided by AGE Design for this review.  Thank you!

RoSK Sun Cover {DISCOUNT}

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

We’re heading to the beach this weekend, for the first time with Harrison!  Admittedly, I’ve been hesitant to take him, for a few reasons.  First, the idea of sand and saltwater, mixed with a barely crawling baby just does not sound good to me.  All I can picture is either fists full of sand going straight for his mouth or a screaming, miserable mess of a baby…  I know, so optimistic, aren’t I?  Second reason I have been hesitant is that I don’t particularly like the thought of him being out in the hot sun for any stretch of time, which I know is inevitable at the beach with two active older boys!

That said, we’re going anyway.  And you can bet we’ll be using our brand new Rain or Shine Kids (RoSK) UPF30 Organic Sun Cover!  Knowing that this beach trip was coming up, I was so excited to receive this cover, to review for RoSK.

The Sun Cover is a super light weight cotton that won’t trap heat in, but will keep the harmful UV rays off of my sweet baby’s tender skin.  Just like RoSK other fabulous blankets, the Sun Cover can be tied to a front carrier, a car seat or a stroller.  It can even be used as a regular blanket, not tied to anything.  We’ll be using ours on the stroller for sure!

We love RoSK, not only for this new Sun Cover, but also for the fabulous products they introduced us to over the past 5 years.  The original All Weather WooBee  is great, but  even better is their new CityScape series; NYC & Paris screenprinted blankets!  Love these so much.

And now for the super spectacular Sun Cover discount!  Readers, take 30% off your purchase with the code “sun30″.  This is a very limited time offer which expires July 31st, so hurry & get yours now.

Will you enjoy your beach trip this summer with your baby in tow?  I know I will!
