Lollipops And Polka Dots Review And Giveaway

With my son, I had never even heard of a diaper pouch or decorated wipe cases! I threw the diapers in my diaper bag and when I went to look for one, they were all balled up at the bottom.

Photobucket

Lollipops and Polka Dots has a great variety of products that would make amazing baby shower gifts. She has everything from diaper pouches to customized furniture. She can turn anything "girly" and cute for your baby.

She sent us a matching Diaper Pouch, Wipes Case, and Burp Cloth in her Butterfly Princess print.

I'm excited that I will be able to keep all of my diapers together in this adorable pouch. I am so tired of having balled up diapers to deal that are hard to find at the bottom of my diaper bag.
Now I'll also have a custom Wipes Case to match. Basically, it is the huggies hard white case that has been decorated with the same fabric from the Diaper Pouch. It's a more stylish way to keep up with your wipes. Here is another example of what she can do.

The burp cloth is a white prefold diaper that has been decorated. The outside has the adorable pink lining and the middle has some of the butterfly fabric. You will never be out and see a mom with the exact same set. Each product is unique and made especially for you. This burp cloth has the same fabric as mine, but is made a little different.

If you don't see a fabric or style that you like, simply design your own. Robin is always happy to help work on a new design especially for you. Just contact her and tell her what you're looking for.

Crane Humidifier Review And Giveaway

Some baby items are a necessity. We don't buy them because they're cute-we buy them because we have to. Sometimes those things, such as humidifiers, are such an eye sore.

Photobucket

Thanks to Crane, that is no longer one of those necessities that we hate to look at. Instead, we can display it proudly as part of our baby's decor. In 2005, Crane took the plunge and brought us their adorable line of humidifiers. They knew that humidifiers are one of the best ways to relieve nasal congestion during cold and flu season, but they wanted people to be excited about choosing their humidifiers.

They even took it a step further and came out with some amazing air purifiers. The EPA estimates that indoor air pollutant levels may be 2-5 times higher than outdoor levels. That fact is extremely disturbing and Crane wants to help keep families safe. They have since introduced a line of AHAM certified air purifiers with a five step filtration system including a HEPA filter and UV germicidal light.

Crane sent us this adorable Frog Cool Mist Humidifier. I chose the frog because it is extremely gender neutral and can be used in either of our children's room. Right now we have it sitting in Evan's room since Isabella isn't here yet.

Frog Cool Mist Humidifier Features:
- Provides Relief from Cough, Cold and Flu Symptoms
- Recommended Non-Medicated Alternative to the Over the Counter Children's Cold and Cough Medicine FDA Warning
- Provides Moisture for Nasal Congestion, Dry Cough, Sinus Irritation, Dry Skin
- Easier Breathing for a Good Night's Sleep
- One Gallon Water Tank Runs Whisper Quiet up to 11 hours
- Auto Off Function When Tank is Empty
- Up to 2.1 Gallon Moisture Output per Day
- Removable Water Tank that Fits Easily Under Most Bathroom Sinks
- Provides Moisture for Dry Cough, Sinus Irritation, and Dry Skin
- Low Power Consumption
- Design copyright protected
- Suitable room size: Approx. 250 sq.ft/ 23m2
- Patented
- FDA registered
Photobucket

You can easily take the frog's eyes and nose off to get to a handle. This makes it easier to hold when you are filling the face up with water. There is a slit in the top of the frogs head where the mist will come out. It is easy to fill with water, works extremely well, and is very quiet.
Photobucket

I asked for the frog because I wasn't sure who I would use it for. I think it will stay in Evan's room. Even though Isabella's room is more butterflies and flowers, I think I'm going to get the pink pig one for her because I am in love with it. I had such a hard choice and now I've decided to just go out and get the pink pig humidifier for her room.

They are all absolutely adorable and you will have as hard of a time choosing which one to go with as I did!

Buy It!
You can purchase these Humidifiers on Amazon for about $35.

Happy 4th Of July!

I just wanted to pop on and tell everyone Happy 4th Of July!!!

We're not doing a whole lot. We decided not to go to the beach like we always do because I'm HUGE and it's HOT! We'll be lazing by the pool hoping the size of my ankles go down. Later we'll grill steaks and shoot fireworks with the neighbors.

I hope you all have a great day! Be safe, but have a blast!!!

Ah Goo Baby Review And Giveaway

With a new baby, you are constantly thinking of how to keep them comfortable and germ free. Most diaper bags come with a changing pad, but they're hard and who knows what the right way to keep them clean is.
Photobucket
Ah Goo Baby has developed The Plush Pad that is so much more than a changing pad. The Plush Pad is a mom invented product that features a thick memory foam cushion to relax baby as it molds to their body. When the pad needs to be cleaned, simply take the memory foam out and throw the cover in the wash!

We were sent The Plush Pad in the Spa Style.
Photobucket

It comes rolled up like this. When rolled, The Plush Pad is only 8"x10". To keep it rolled, the ends are held with elastic bands that are attached to the pad.
Photobucket

When unrolling, there a few snaps down the center so that the inside of the pad stays clean and free from any unnecessary germs. I love that it stays so compact and these snaps help it stay neat and clean. You can also see those elastic bands that I was talking about.
Photobucket

When the pad is open, it measures 2ftx2ft. This is the perfect size for you to keep open on a dresser or counter top for your changing station. You don't have to buy one of those big, bulky changing pads that you have to keep buying covers for. The Plush Pad is amazingly soft and cushioned with the memory pad that is great for tummy time.
Photobucket

We might even get one to keep at my mom's house. It provides a clean, water-resistant spot to change the baby and keep the surface that I'm changing the baby on clean. When we're not there, my mom can easily just roll it up and stick it in the linen closet. Ours will probably travel with us. I will use it as a changing pad when I'm out and then as a surface when I'm over at friends' houses or play dates for naps or tummy time! When I'm armed with the Plush Pad, I never have to worry about Isabella having a safe, clean spot to lay down.

Buy It
The Plush Pad is available in many great fabrics and can be purchased at Buy Buy Baby for $29.99.

WIN IT!!!
