Koala Kuddles

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Now that Spring is “almost” here, are you looking for that perfect lightweight blanket for your little one?  We recently received the new, Austin based, muslin swaddle blanket from Koala Kuddles, and we’re in love!

As a firm believer in swaddling as long as humanly possible, we were so excited to test out this new product!  Yes, it’s true that the material of your blanket makes a huge difference when determining whether or not swaddling is going to be successful for your baby…  We had great success with flannel blankets when swaddling Alex 3 years ago, but muslin seems to be the way to go for Harrison.

The Koala Kuddles blankets are just the right size for swaddling babies from 0 -3 months.  Now that he is approaching the 4-month mark {tomorrow!} he is getting a little too long for these blankets.  That said, with the adorable animal print design & the softer with every wash, breathable muslin fabric, our Koala Kuddles days are far from over!

I had really been stressing over making sure Harrison had a beloved lovey or blankie, like my other two children did.  Well my friends, I think the Koala Kuddles blanket has made it’s way into Harrison’s heart {and mine}.  It is the perfect size for keeping him cozy in his car seat, stroller & even baby swing.  He loves to have it close to his face, and he loves to feel the soft muslin fibers between his fingers.  I love the Koala Kuddles for keeping him shielded from the sun {which we hope to do a lot next week in Disney World!} & I use it regularly as a nursing cover.  It provides just the right amount of weight to keep him warm, but not too hot.

With two simple & understated designs available, Australian Animals and Polka Dots, you won’t have any trouble choosing which to get.  They are both great!  Grab a package of Koala Kuddles now, just in time for the warmer weather!

Green Garmento {FREE SHIPPING & GIVEAWAY}

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

For those of you taking little steps to live your life a bit more green, I have a product for you today that will painlessly help you take another step in living green.  ;-)   Most of us use the dry cleaners regularly right?  So what if I told you a company has designed a eco friendly 3-in-1 reusable garment bag, interested?

Green Garmento has designed the perfect bag for dry cleaning.  This is how it works, at home you use it as your dry cleaning hamper.  When you are ready for your clothes to by cleaned, the hamper becomes your dry cleaning duffel or bag.  This same bag is given to your dry cleaner and they use it as your garment bag!  Isn’t that wonderful!  No swapping out piles of clothes from one hamper to a bag  then from plastic bags to the closet.

The Green Garmento  team believes in helping you live greener. Every year over 300 million pounds of single-use plastic dry cleaning bags are dumped into our landfills?* And that’s just in The United States. Plastic bags are rarely recycled, they don’t completely break down in landfills, they kill marine and wildlife and can cause choking accidents and sometimes death in infants and toddlers. If left on dry cleaned clothes, the plastic bags don’t “breathe” which can cause the chemicals to stay in your clothing which then leach into your skin.

 

The Green Garmento is like a reusable grocery tote for your clothes. Green Garmento Features, made from recyclable non-woven polypropylene, breathable & water-resistant, side zipper allows easy access to hanging garments, drawstring closure at bottom, sturdy loop fits over any hook for use as a hanging hamper, durable shoulder strap for convenient carrying as a duffel bag, reinforced handles for compressed carrying, wide gussets allow cleaned clothes to hang gently at all times, machine washable (short cycle – cold) and hang dries quickly, see-through front pocket for dry cleaning ticket or other customer ID,  recyclable & Reusable.  I was worried about my dry cleaners not using my bag or losing my clothes but with the see-through pocket you just put a copy of your dry cleaning ticket in the pocket.  No worries :-)   The bag is big enough to hold 10-12 garments and comes in bright colors making the bag very easy to spot!

We’ve really enjoyed our Green Garmento bag.  It is just so convenient.  We use recyclable grocery bags, why not dry cleaning bags.  Such an easy change!

Fantastic colors, my favorite is the burst of orange!  You can not miss that bag!

GIVEAWAY ALERT! :-)    Let’s give one lucky reader a chance to win their very own Green Garmento!!  Win the Green Grass Garmento bag   when you comment back here what you like best about this wonderful product.   EXTRA ENTRIES FOR ALL GIVEAWAYS!

Tots On the Go

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Every parent should visit Tots On the Go before going on any type of trip or vacation.  Besides offering some of the newest nessesities and luxuries for families with children Tots On the Go also offers personal consultations to help every busy parent select the perfect travel accessory for their family!  I was sent two fabulous travel items for my family to use during our recent trip to Disneyland!  My kids and I loved both of them so much I purchased them so we would be able to use them on future vacations!

The picture above is of my youngest son Will who is 9 months old.  Tots On the Go sent him the Air Play {also pictured}to use on our vacation!  This is a great toy that slips over an airplane’s tray table very securely and is covered with toys on both sides.  There are peak-a-boo flaps with a mirror and another with a picture album where personal pictures of baby’s favorite people can be inserted!  There are also several Velcro toys and balls attached as well.  Will looks tired in the picture above but I promise you he had a fabulous time with his Air Play during our four hour flight.  I loved that everything was attached so I did not have to pick anything off the floor.

My two year old daughter fell in love with her Trunki as soon as she saw it.  While she had fun scooting on it around the house she LOVED being pulled on it through the airport!  Being a big girl of 2 {and almost 3} she thinks strollers are for babies but still gets tired of walking sometimes.  Her Trunki was a life saver for us.  Not only did it provide entertainment for her and an easy trip through the airport for us, it doubled as her carry on.  The Trunki fits perfectly under the seats on the plane and has room for all of the important items little gals and guys need to stay busy on long flights!

Tots On the Go is great for purchasing everything from Strollers and baby carriers to some of the great items I have outlined above.  Another great feature Tots On the Go offers is their rental program.  {Check their website to see if they offer rentals in your area please.} They will ship many items parents need to take care of baby and big kids to certain locations.  Mom and dad will  have the peace of mind that that each item will be clean, sanitized, safe and will arrive at your home or travel destination.  Choose individual items or go for one of their package deals!

Visit Tots On the Go to see all the products they have for families with an on the go lifestyle!  Happy Shopping!

Momma Couture {DISCOUNT}

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Large, flashy diaper bags are no more for me {or for anyone for that matter}…smaller totes that serve as a carry-all and a diaper bag all in one, or basic wristlet for quick trips out of the house, are what’s modern and what’s desired by busy moms these days!  We want something classy and crisp {not loud and bold}, something that is versatile and all encompassing, and something that looks fabulous on casual days walking the mall or more formal dinner nights out with the family…we have a company for you today that has “all the above”, and more!

8 + amazing features in one classic bag!   The first and foremost being the Momma Couture City Bag is FULLY INSULATED!  Sippies, bottles, and munchies no longer need a separate insulated bag on top of the diaper bag…just toss them in {there’s organizational compartments for them of course} and go!  The sample City Bag above that we received also comes with a matching wristlet, which I’ve said before…every momma needs a wristlet…for short durations away with or without the children!   A few other features to mention:

-Includes our unique zip-close wipes pocket which allows wipes to be carried directly in the bag while being kept moist
-Our see anything lining ensures easy cleaning, and hassle free when you need to find those necessary items
-Top zip-closure and 60” Adjustable strap
-Includes 3 internal elasticized pockets
-Key ring hook and external d-ring
-Easy access back slip pocket

AND, the look, gotta love the look!  I’m a bit over the modern dots and stripes and colors that make you blind just looking at them on fabric!

As always, the images do not do these bags justice!  I love the size and style combined.  It’s preppy meets functional, classy and essential, PLUS all the colors and designs are “everyone” friendly, your husband, your nanny, your MIL, none of them will complain as they carry a Momma Couture bag!  The Momma Helper bag below is again, the perfect size and versatile in the fact that after the baby/toddler stage is over, use the fully insulated bag for a school or work lunch tote!  Whether you’re looking for a small bag {as small as a wristlet} for your non-baby essentials or a large carry-all like the Playdate for every need you can throw at it, you’ll find brilliancy at it’s finest at Momma Couture!

The insulated wristlet above is awesome, “Stinky Bum!”, too cute!!

Enjoy 15% off with the code BabyE15 on your purchases at Momma Couture!!
