The Childrens Place $50 Gift Card Giveaway!

1,335 views

For as long as I’ve been a mom I’ve been buying my boys clothing from The Children’s Place. Sure they have great styles but the real reason I love their clothing is the durability. Having boys I can tell you they are rough. We go through clothing like we go through toilet paper in this house. We’ve been able to put holes in jeans in just one weekend.

When it comes time to sort through their closets at the end of each season it’s mainly the Children’s Place clothing that still remains. The clothing can take a beating from my boys and still be good enough to be handed down to the next one. What is great is that the styles are always fashionable but classic so the style doesn’t go out.

I was so disappointed when Johnny outgrew the brand but happy that I have two that still can wear it. Gavin went through all the choices in the store and came back to the matchables tanks and shorts. He was able to pick a couple sets and they will be perfect for the hot summer days. For Sawyer I was able to grab a few sleepers and these cute little shoes.

The Children’s Place has affordable, durable clothing that will live up to all your expectations. They are cute, fashionable, and classic too! Make sure to stop in to your local store and check out all the deals. Make sure to sign up for their emails and be informed of all their sales!

InGenuity Pembrook Smart & Simple Playard Review & Giveaway!

1,208 views

When it comes time to start putting together all the needs of a baby it can become rather overwhelming, believe me I know. When I found out I was pregnant with Sawyer it was like starting all over again. There were so many options and so many designs. Baby gear had come a long way and there were so many bells and whistles on everything. What happens though when you don’t want to pay $200 on a playpen though? What happened to all those simple versions we had years ago?

So, when I saw the InGenuity Pembrook Smart & Simple Playard and saw that it was available for under $100 and still had the extras I thought it was such a great option!

The playpen has all the essentials and extras!

With the Bright Starts SleepEasy play yard, your baby can rest soundly at home or on the go. With its two sleep positions, Baby can enjoy the traditional flat position or a ten-degree incline position. One Less Step makes set up and take down fast and easy.

  • Features: Folds Into Storage Pouch, Portable, Bassinet, Locking Wheels, Storage Bin, Changing Station, Removable Bassinet
  • Minimum Weight Supported: 1.0 Lb.
  • Maximum Weight Capacity: 25.0 Lb.
  • Includes: Bassinet, Travel Bag, Removable Diaper Stacker, Removable Bassinet
  • Safety and Security Features: Locking Wheels
  • Care and Cleaning: Wipe Clean With Soap and Water
  • Material: Polyester

The diaper changer part is great but it is difficult to remove so it’s not the best option if you plan on moving it back and forth. I’m sure after pulling it on and off for awhile it could get easier too though. Mine was a very secure hold and I needed Hubby’s help to remove it.

I really liked that the base had better options though then the fancy, expensive version I had for Gavin. It had bars but they ran the short way causing them to warp after several weeks of use. I love that they run the long way to properly support the bassinet portion. I also like that but just removing the bars you can easily pack it up without fully taking it apart making it easier to put together next time.

The steps to secure the bassinet portion are far more secure then any playpen I’ve ever used or reviewed! You actually zip the bassinet in!! No hooks or anything that can be easily undone. I love that it goes all the way around. I love that they also looked at the fine details and even made sure the zippers were well covered and secured with velcro.

Then to make sure it’s even more secure it’s secured with buckles all the way around using he life jacket style buckle. It also is covered by material so baby doesn’t discover it.

When you are done just lower the mat dow to the bottom and your left with a great playard still!

What I love is that InGenuity Pembrook Smart & Simple Playard is this well built but sold for only $99.99 through Target! It’s the most affordable playard I’ve since since I’ve been looking and is doesn’t hold out on any of the extras even though it doesn’t charge as much as the rest.

Right now Target actually has it on sale for $84.99!

TinyLove Soothe ‘n Groove Mobile Review & Giveaway!

976 views

Babies are expensive. For such little bundles it’s amazing how much they require. One thing I’ve learned through having a few kids is that products that can grow with your child are key. Not only is it cost effective but it helps cut down on the clutter. We all know how much clutter a baby can come with. Since Sawyer was born I feel like our home has shrunk in size because we are always stepping around the baby stuff.

When I was asked to review the Soothe ‘n Groove Mobile by TinyLove I thought it was great how it would work with Sawyer through a much longer time span then your average mobile.

This uniquely-designed musical mobile offers babies a  selection of 18 different tunes in 6 separate categories. Babies, and parents too, will certainly enjoy the variety. Once baby is on-the-go, the mobile can be converted into a fun music box that toddlers will love carrying around.

  • Baby’s first music box with endless choices of melodies – 6 different music categories with 18 different tunes.
  • Grows with your baby – from crib as a mobile to toddler as a stand-alone music box.
  • Unique design with two high quality designed speakers.

The mobile was super easy to set up. The mobile just snaps together requiring no additional tools. To attach it to the crib you just twirl a plastic cap and it is secured to the crib. It’s super simple to use and best part is it’s battery operated! Sawyer just loves his mobiles but the one that matches his crib set gives me just enough time to run to the bathroom and back before he starts crying because it’s stopped.

The Soothe ‘n Groove Mobile runs on batteries meaning no running back to the crib! I can set it and take my time and actually get something done without worrying about circling back. I love that as he gets older he’ll be able to hit it on his own to reset it. Although I’m thinking that 40 minutes of continuous non-repetitive music is enough for them to relax and fall asleep too.

This mobile isn’t something I would have purchased as I’m one for the matching crib set mobile but it’s one that should be bought instead. You’ll be able to use it so much longer and it you think about how long your baby stays in a bassinet chances are by the time baby moves to the crib the old mobile is a hazard and has to come down.

The only thing I think could make the Soothe ‘n Groove Mobile any better is flashy lights. It’s one thing that gets Sawyer’s attention and keeps it. The music is soothing but I’d love to see lights. Regardless, with or without lights the Soothe ‘n Groove Mobile is a sure bet to get lots of use and give you more time to get a few things done.

Pampers Limited Edition “USA” Diapers + Wipes {Review & Giveaway} $50+ Value!

1,087 views

I feel like I’ve been using diapers for ever and every time I get a child completely independent back I go having another baby. The problem is I wait just long enough where I’m back to square one and it’s like being a new mom all over again. I had never used Pampers with my other boys but found a great deal on them and stocked up and they’ve been working really well for us since Sawyer was born. Of course the real test will be in a few months when he becomes quite the athlete and is scooting all around.

Speaking of athletes the 2012 Olympics are just around the corner and Pampers has designed the perfect USA themed diaper to help celebrate!

Aren’t they cute? They sport the red, white, and blue USA colors with the adorable stars & stripes pattern. They even have USA themed wipes too. Perfect to help represent our Olympic team and two-time Olympic Games Gold medalist and Team USA Hopeful, Kerri Walsh, who just happened to team up with Pampers!

Until May 19th, parents can visit the Pampers Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/Pampers) and register for a chance to win the grand prize trip for a family of four to attend the London 2012 Olympic Games and attend the first ever Pampers Playground event alongside Team USA Hopeful, Kerri Walsh, and her husband and sons. The recipient of the grand prize trip to the London 2012 Olympic Games will be drawn on or around May 21st. Additionally, Pampers will be randomly selecting weekly winners between now and August 12 to receive a prize pack consisting of one month’s supply of Pampers Limited Edition “USA” diapers and wipes as well as a souvenir volleyball signed by Kerri Walsh.

To learn more about the Pampers Limited Edition “USA” diapers, the London 2012 Olympic Games Facebook Sweepstakes and the new Pampers Playground, visit www.facebook.com/Pampers or www.Pampers.com/play.  For more information regarding P&G’s “Thank you, Mom” campaign, visit http://www.facebook.com/thankyoumom.
