Pediped shoes Review

Seriously Pediped shoes are my new favorite shoes for Shane. I was very excited to be able to review the Flex Adrian - White/Gray.



He wears them everyday and never complains of discomfort. In fact he loves wearing them and asks to wear them. Sometimes when he wore other shoes he would walk funny or complain or try to take the shoes off but NOT with the pedipeds.

These shoes have so many great features.

They are
-Approved by the American Podiatric association for children

-Machine washable (These shoes are made with Clarino, a wash-and-wear fabric that’s virtually indestructible. Simply throw in the washing machine and air dry for perfectly clean shoes--how easy! )

-Soft & Flexible - Exceptionally soft, flexible soles and uppers help to provide healthy foot development. Ultra flexible FLEX ZONES provide maximum flexibility and support natural foot motion.

-Heel Cushion - Shock absorbing cushions on each heel protect against impact and distribute pressure through-out the foot.

-Flex Fit System - pediped Flex™ offer a unique fit system. Each pair comes with an additional 2mm insole to customize the fit so it just right for each child. If the child starts with both insoles, as the child’s feet grow the additional insoles may be removed to extend the length of time the child can wear the shoes.

You will see Shane in Pediped Shoes from now on. I %100 recommend them to any parent.

The shoes I reviewed can be Purchased on Pedipeds website Here for $48

Thanks to pediped for the chance to review your shoes.

TEEN MOM

I am a huge fan of teen mom. I watch it every week and have been following the girls since they were on 16 and pregnant.

Do any of you watch it?

Last night my heart broke as I watched Farrah met up with Sophia's Dad's Sister.


For those of you who don't watch. Farrah has a daughter Sophia who's Dad Derek was killed in a car crash 2 months before Sophia was born.



Here is the clip

Teen Mom (Season 2) - MTV Shows

I seriously cried last night. My heart broke as I watched the episode. I feel so bad for Farrah. I can't imagine raising Shane without Phil. I can't imagine Shane not having the chance to even know Phil for that matter.

It was just so sad watching last night.

Did any of you see it? what were your thoughts?

Aquatopia Baby Bath Products Review and Giveaway

Aquatopia is a company that designs and manufactures children’s products for home, outdoor activities and travel use.

"Aquatopia's mission is to provide children with quality creative products for bath time, water activities and travel that are fun, practical, and easy to use. Our focus at Aquatopia is on making a child's life safer and a parent's life easier."

I really love Aquatopia Products. They really are geared towards helping making a moms and dads job much easier.

I was given the opportunity to review 3 of their bath products.

1. Aquatopia Safety Bath Time Audible Thermometer & Alarm – Turtle


This turtle floats in the water while it reads the bath temperature. If the temperature is to hot or to cold it beeps to make you aware there is a danger to your little one. It even shows you the temperature on the display. It takes the temperature of the water every 2 seconds so you will know right away if there is a need to fix the water temperature.

2. Aquatopia Deluxe Safety Bath Time Easy Kneeler


I remember how much it hurt to kneel with Shane in the tub and am excited to have this for our next baby. It's a padded kneeler that has extra padding for knees and elbows. It is made from water friendly neoprene. The kneeler has pockets that are perfect for
soaps & shampoos keeping all necessities for bathing right by you. It is detachable, washable and easily folds for storage.

3. Aquatopia Safety Bath Time Faucet and Tap Protector



"Aquatopia Faucet and tap protector helps you to keep children safe during tub time. The high-density foam cover secures over the faucet and/or tap with strong suction cups in a matter of seconds. Your little one will be protected from injuries due to slipping, falling or access to the hot water tap. Uses expanded foam to resist impact and heat and adjusts to fit most faucet and/or tap configurations."
Definitively a must have. So many kids get hurt slipping and hitting the faucet or turning on the hot water by mistake and getting burned.

Aquatopia products are sold on amazon, walmart, target and babies r us.

WIN IT
One winner will receive all 3 products I reviewed.

Kolcraft Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller Review and GIVEAWAY

I am Kolcraft MOM because Kolcraft makes quality, stylish and innovative baby products.
Kolcraft owns Jeep brand and one of the Great products they make are strollers. Since Phil and I have been walking and he plans to start running soon I decided to review the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller.

This stroller is awesome but before I get into how awesome it is I had my husband write up a bit about it in his opinion.

"The Jeep overland stroller is a very light weight and durable stroller. This stroller comes mostly assembled however , it does require some simple assembly before use. It will be necessary for you to install the foot rest, wheels, safety guard, and cup holder. Everything installs quickly and easily by simply inserting and clicking the required parts into the designated areas, with the exception of the foot rest, which will require a philips head screw driver in order to screw in four screws which will hold it into place. My Wife and I have been going for walks nightly and couldn’t wait to take it for a spin and test it out."



"This stroller comes equipped with a hand brake, ipod/mp3 speaker, and a counter. Upon connecting the ipod to the speaker, which requires 4 AAA batteries, we found it to be not very loud. Although… I suppose you really don’t want it to go very loud seeing as it aims directly at your little ones head. The counter system utilizes a sensor on the the front wheel forks and a magnet on the wheel itself. Every time the magnet crosses the path of the sensor it reads the revolutions calculating the distance and time of your walk or run. You will need to make sure that the magnet on the wheel is facing the correct way in order for the sensor to detect it. You parents out there do need to realize though that this stroller is designed more for athletic use and not so much your daily hustle and bustle. The stroller does not maneuver easily and is designed more for straight lines."



I think my husband said it well. This is a great stroller for outside running and walking although it is not made to be a daily stroller and doesn't maneuver well in tight spaces as that's not what it is designed for. I really love how it tells you the time and distance traveled and I noticed the seat is bigger than our everyday stroller and has way more room for our 2 and a 1/2 year old to grow into. Shane is extremely comfortable in this stroller and really enjoys going on walks in it.

DownEast Basics review

I was very excited to review for DownEast Basics. I have seen their clothes on their website a few times and loved them. They are fashionable and affordable. I can also say they are quality.



I had a really hard time choosing what to review because I really love their clothing.
I finally decided on the Antique Top. I love that it is casual enough to wear everyday but dressy enough to wear to a more special event like a baby or wedding shower. I could tell right away it is high quality and the heather rose color is just so beautiful.

I also really like this cupid cardigan and this reception skirt.






Check out DownEast basics to see all the stylish clothing and accessories they have to offer.

Remington Frizz Therapy Straightner Review and Giveaway

I was blessed with curly frizzy hair and we all know we want what we can't have. I would love to be able to get out of the shower and have straight hair but that's not going to happen so I rely on a dryer and straighter to keep my hair straight.

I have noticed that most straighteners do straighten my hair but many still leave it frizzy. Not a good look. To add to the problem I live in Michigan where humidity is very high especially in the summer.



I Love the Remington frizz Therapy Straighter. It straightens my hair and tames the frizz. Plus it's priced to be affordable. At around 50 dollars it its 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of most other straighteners and it works better in my opinion.



Here are some of its features

* Professional ceramic damage-reducing conditioning plates infused with a blend of conditioners and avocado oil
* Floating plates for constant contact and faster styling
* Digital precise heat settings to 300°-430° F
* 30-second heat up
* LCD display
* Audible feedback when unit reaches desired temperature setting
* Turbo Boost function automatically sets to the highest temperature if desired
* Switch Lock function to set and lock in desired temperature setting
* Automatic 1-hour safety shutoff
* Cool tip
* Swivel cord
* Hinge lock
* 4-year warranty

Halo SleepSack Swaddle Review and Giveaway

Babies loved to be swaddled. For months I swaddled Shane but I did it with swaddle blankets. Let me tell you it was a huge process to get him swaddled and before I knew it he had wiggled out of it.

I recently had seen a friends new baby in a Halo sleepsack swaddle and was so excited with the whole idea. Halo sleep sacks are very versatile. They have the ability to swaddle and as baby gets older to be used as a sack allowing baby's arms to be free.
They also help reduce the risk of sids.

"The unique HALO® SleepSack® wearable blanket replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby's face and interfere with breathing. No wonder it's the #1 trusted choice of hospitals and parents alike. In addition to sleeping safer, the HALO SleepSack wearable blanket helps babies sleep better too. It's a warm, cuddly blanket they can't kick off, ensuring baby sleeps soundly throughout the night. And when baby is sleeping safe and sound, moms and dads can rest easy."



I was sent the cotton sleepsack swaddle in Dots. I love it and am very excited to use it with my next child. The Halo sleepsacks come in micro fleece, cotton and organic and you can choose from so many cute designs.

They can be found at Target, Babies r us and Amazon for around $20.00

Win It
One lucky winner will receive the same Halo sleep sack I received.

Bebe au lait Reversible Double Bibs Review

The babe au lait bib is the best bib for function and style.

This bib is really four bibs in one. It has 2 panels that can be reversed and the reversed a second time. This bib absorbs a lot of mess and saves the need to use two and three bibs at one meal. Having a kid that had reflux and had many times where a lot of his food ended up not staying in his stomach I can tell you we went through a lot of bibs and many didn't absorb very well.

I wish I had know about the Bebe au lait Reversible Double Bibs when Shane was younger. They would have made feeding time so much easier for all of us.

Click HERE to see the bib in action.

We were given the Mint Chocolate Reversible Double Bib to review. Along with this awesome design they also come in many modern/hip patterns.





The bibs are priced at $16.00 and can be purchased at the website HERE.

Thank You Bebe Au Lait for the chance to review your bib.

A few new pics of Shane and photography tips

Shot Shane last week for fun. He gets lots of pictures having a Mommy Photographer.
Some things that make a Professional picture.

Lighting- There needs to be no shadows on walls behind or next to the person or people in the pictures. Really the best way to do this is by having an external flash. The only way if your a professional.

Coloring- you want the subjects skin to look natural just like in person. You know a photograph is bad for example if the skin on the subject is deep red or blue. The subject shouldn't look so red they seem to be holding their breath ready to combust at any minute lol


Focus- Unless you are intentionally focusing on another object say the shoe in this picture I took of shane at 6 months old.
The focus should be on the subjects face. Meaning the face should be crisp and clear and not look blurry.


Anyways here are the pictures I took of Shane last week. Enjoy!
