A "Tooth Fairy Approved" Review....

My little guy just cut his first tooth and he is working on getting his second one in {Poor Guy}....

I know that it will be a long time before he looses his baby teeth
but I have already been looking for
(and I am excited to share that I have found)
an extra special way to preserve baby teeth & celebrate the magic of The Tooth Fairy tradition. 

Let me introduce you to
A Company That Specializes in Giving Baby Teeth a Home in Your Family Memories!
We had the pleasure of reviewing the
Complete Tooth Fairy Kit.
(sent to us free of charge for this review)
Why It's a Must-Have:

This absolutely adorable box is filled with everything you need to add to the Tooth Fairy Excitement and make your child's toothless moments treasured memories.
This "Tooth Fairy Approved" kit features: 

A Baby Tooth Keepsake Box
(with a rotating clear cover to keeps all of your child's teeth secure and organized)
{I'm sure The Tooth Fairy will be happy to let you keep those precious teeth when she sees that you have the Perfect Box for them}

A Baby Tooth Chart
(in the lid of the keepsake box)
 to keep track of when your child loses each tooth

A Baby Tooth Pouch
(to put under the pillow.....Tooth Fairy Money not included! )

Tooth Fairy Stationary
(so your little one can write an unforgettable letter to the Tooth Fairy)

"Dear Tooth Fairy, Please Stop Here!" Door Hanger
(so the Tooth Fairy won't forget.....and I have heard of Tooth Fairies forgetting to stop by!)

Available in Pink or Blue.
(so even Daddy approves of his little boy believing in fairies)

It is Such A Cute Kit
 I will be happy to hang on to it for the next few years
in anticipation of Bresden losing his first tooth
and the Tooth Fairy making her first visit to our home.

In the meantime,
I will be telling everyone I know about them so they can get one too!

Whether your little one is just at the teething phase (like mine), has discovered that first wiggly tooth or you are just looking for a unique gift for a special little person in your life.....

I highly recommend that you check out

I Want A Zigo & After You Read This You Will Too!

What is A Zigo?

It's A
Carrier Bike!

It's A
Walking Stroller!

It's A
Jogging Stroller!

It's A
Bicycle!


It's A Wonderful Way For You
&
Your Kiddos to Get Out Of The House &
 Enjoy The Great Outdoors!
I MUST-HAVE ONE!!!!
 I Want One SOOOOO BAD!!!

I have actually been interested in (okay, drooling over) carrier bikes for a while now.
 
They seem like such a great way for the youngest or even physically challenged members of your family to enjoy a good ol' fashioned bike ride with the rest of the family. 

I love that with a Zigo you don't have to have a separate carrier bike, walking stroller, jogging stroller & bicycle...
Because Zigo is Your All-In-One Mom-or-Dad-Powered Family Transportation System.

I love that Zigos are designed in such a way that your little passenger can actually
enjoy the scenery rather than just having a nice view of Mom or Dad's backside
(like they would with traditional bike trailers or child seats).


And As If It Couldn't Get Any Better....
Zigo Is Rolling Out All Kinds of New Accessories This Spring

Coming in Spring is the new Infant Insert, designed to allow younger children to safely and comfortably use the Zigo Leader in stroller mode. Also new for Spring are the Zigo Fenders with Lights. Protect yourself from mud and water with front fenders that attach to the ChildPod's 20' wheels. Includes integrated front and rear lights for visibility and illumination. Other Leader accessories are the Jogging Kit, Trailer Kit, Second Harness, Environmental Control System (Mesh and Wind/Drizzle Guard), full Rain Cover, and Rear Rack with Wheel Mount (for carrying front wheel of cycle with you.)
Expand your Zigo system and do more.

Did I Mention....
I REALLY REALLY WANT ONE!?!?!
 
I just discovered (literally minutes ago) that Zigo is giving away...
Yes, Giving Away...
A Zigo Leader X2 Carrier Bicycle.
 
Unfortunately, Entries are due by Tomorrow & as I just mentioned I only found out about the contest minutes ago sooo....I probably won't have time to put together a Zigo Winning Video in time.
 
So A Plea To The Zigo Powers That Be....
 
You mention on the contest page that if a video submission is really persuasive that you may just have to add some extra give-away units....
What About Persuasive Blog Reviews?
Maybe you could add an extra give-away unit for me?
(Did I mention that my Birthday is this Week?)
 
I would love to have the opportunity to share my personal Zigo Experience with my readers and everyone who will undoubtedly stop and stares while we are out & about with our Zigo.
 
Hoping My Zigo Dreams Come True!!!
Stay Tuned To See If They Do!
 
Visit
to make yours come true!
 
I was not paid to post this feature but I will receive entries (hopefully winning entries) into their contest.

A New Bag For The New Year...

Did You Make Any New Year's Resolutions for 2011?

Well, if one of your resolutions was
to get more organized or be more stylish then I may have found just the bag for you.



                                             
I had the pleasure of reviewing a Jessica Bishop Signature Personal Bag (sent free of charge for this review) & let me tell you.....this bag is so much more than just a diaper bag.

You will be using this bag long after your kiddos have grown out of diapers.

Why It's A Must-Have:

~It's So Stylish
I love that it doesn't scream "diaper bag!"

~ Designed For Organization
I love all the space inside and separate compartments.....even a clip for your keys!
See All The Details Here

~So Versatile
It's a bag that goes "from baby to boardroom."

~No Need For A Separate Purse

I have been trying to find a way that I can carry just one bag for me and my baby.  But so many other diaper bags are just a deep dark hole where all of my personal belongings would get lost and mixed in with my baby's....this bag is designed so that you can keep your stuff and your baby's separate and organized. 
All These Great Features.....No Wonder Huggies Enjoy the Ride website picked up two of Jessica Bishop bags for their website. Giving customers the opportunity to redeem points for the gray backpack/messenger bag and they could also spend points on their sweepstakes for the checkerboard bag.
But you don't have to buy Huggies to score a Jessica Bishop Bag for yourself.....
you can just order your Jessica Bishop Bag from Kohl's. 
I just checked out the website and they have a deal right now....
Get one for yourself and one for a gift or get two for yourself.

Now is the time to buy yourself those things that you wish you had gotten for Christmas!

New Year, New Bag, New You!

Happy Shopping & Happy New Year!

CSN Stores Make Feeding Time Easy.....


Do you remember me telling you about
CSN Stores before we left for our trip to California?

 I was excited about all of the great products they had to offer and was looking forward to sharing with you what I found in the
Baby Feeding section of
CSNBaby.com
once we started Bresden on solid foods.

Well the time has come.....
Bresden had his first taste of rice cereal on Thanksgiving Day while we were in California.
So we were finally able to try out the
&
that we ordered from
CSN Stores.

The Boon Squirt...

I had actually never used a Boon Squirt before this but I have actually given them as gifts. My sister-in-law raved about them and I went all over town looking for them when I needed a baby gift (this was before I knew about CSN Stores).  I could have saved myself a lot of time and energy if I had known about CSN Stores back then. 
Anyways, I was pretty excited to finally try it out and I liked it even more than I had expected....which says a lot because my expectations were pretty high.
To use the Boon Squirt you just pour food in the handle, screw on the spoon, squeeze and feed.
Then just toss it in the dishwasher!
It really is that simple!
There is even a cap in case he doesn't finish it all.
According to my sister-in-law you can dump an entire jar of baby food into it at once.
A Little Tip: When filling the Boon Squirt....I found that I could scrape all of the food into the handle easier if I set the handle in an empty cup... then it was sitting upright and I had both hands free...one to hold the bowl or jar and  one to scrape the food into it with a spoon.
I actually thought that I would mainly just use the Boon Squirt for feedings on the go but I have been using it at home for every feeding since I first tried it.
Definitely going to be getting some more of these!
It makes feeding him so much easier and cleaner too as I am not dripping food on the way to his mouth.
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

Baby Bjorn Soft Bib...

I had actually used a Baby Bjorn Soft Bib before this.  A family that I babysat for had one and I really liked it.  You really only need to have one of these at home because you just rinse it off and it is ready to be used again.  With fabric bibs you have to have a bunch because they have to be laundered. Another benefit to it not being fabric is that it won't start looking dingy and stained the way that fabric bibs do when they are used again and again.
 I love that it has a food catcher...great for catching drips now and pieces of food that would end up on the floor (when he is older). 
Bresden is loving eating solid foods and
I am loving the convenience of the
Boon Squirt & Baby Bjorn Bib.
Thanks
CSN Stores!!!

A Day At The Beach Without The Sand?

Wouldn't It Be Nice To Spend A Day At The Beach Without The Sand?

Sounds too good to be true, right?

I found a company who makes it possible......
This Australia based company offers a variety of sand-free products that "move sand down-under."
Sand and dirt fall right through the 2-layer mesh mats providing you with a place to enjoy the outdoors sand-free.
Their mesh technology was originally designed to eliminate dirt, dust and debris from being kicked up by the helicopters rotors when landing. 
We had the opportunity to review one of their
Sand-Free Multi-Mats
 while we were at the beach in California. 
 It was Bresden's first time at the beach and we were hoping to get some good family photos while we were there.

The Multi-Mat provided a nice sand-free place to set down our bags, jackets, and belongings while we took photos and gave me a nice sand-free place to sit down and feed Bresden.

The sand really did just slip right through the mat...just like in the video on their website.
Wet sand that we dropped onto the mat didn't slip through as easily as the dry but it dissappeared when  you tapped on the mat (and the dry sand is what mostly gets kicked up anyways). 

The texture of the multi-mat is pretty rough so you probably wouldn't want to put your little one directly on it. 
But by putting Bresden's blanket in the center of the Multi-Mat he was able to lay on one of his favorite blankets right on the beach and was protected from sand being kicked up onto his blanket by the sand-free barrier that the Multi-Mat created around his blanket.


On That Note...
I am excited to share that
CGear is actually coming out with a new product that will be available in January that utilizes the same patented technology as the Mat but this new CGear Sand-Free Rug has a soft top layer allowing you to sit directly on the Rug. Making it great for babies & children and a the perfect sand-free beach or picnic blanket for families.

Does Your Family Like To Camp?

I should also metion that CGear Sand-Free Multi-Mats are great for camping.  
They help to keep your campsite cleaner and also reduce the amount of dirt that is tracked into your tent or RV.
I remember my mom continually sweeping out our travel trailer when our family used to go camping.  We tracked in so much dirt and sand.  If only we would have had one of these mats back then.  My mom would have been able to spend less time cleaning and more time just relaxing and enjoying herself.


I am thinking that we might just keep our Multi-Mat in our car so that we will have it whenever we need it.

Check out
to see how
 CGear can make your outdoor experience
much more enjoyable whether you are using it in
The Outback or just out-back!
