[Review] Tombow Glue Dispenser

My kids and I love to do craft projects for around the house and for fun things to do during rainy days. Most of the time, we use an adhesive dispenser. This makes it so much easier for the kids to stick things and keep working instead of having to wait for glue or glue stick to dry.

[Review & Giveaway] The Potty Cover

Now, that it’s summer, we are traveling all over the place. We are hardly ever home anymore. I love that we have such a busy schedule because it means we are having so much fun. The only down fall of it is one of my biggest fears….public restrooms. Or worse yet, porta-potties.

[Review] Cover Me Strap

Have you ever been out with your little one when it’s time to nurse and realize you forgot your cover at home? This has happened to me many times and I try to make it work with just a receiving blanket draped over my shoulder. It doesn’t take long for my son to rip that blanket off either. So, it becomes more of a battle of the blanket than a peaceful nursing.

I’ve found the perfect tool to fix that - The Cover Me Strap. My first use of The Cover Me Strap was for nursing. With the two clips at each end of the strap, you attach it to a blanket and hang it around your neck. This leaves your hands free while attending to your baby. It’s like an extra set of hands for Mom!

I’m all for a multi-use tool to make my life easier. You could use the strap to create a large bib with a receiving blanket for your little one. Or, even keeping blankets wrapped over a stroller for shade without the worry of the wind blowing it away. You could also attach the strap to a stuffed animal or toy and keep it attached to the stroller.

The Cover Me Strap is machine washable on the delicate cycle and is easy and portable to keep in your purse or diaper bag. The strap is adjustable to fit our your neck or use with any situation. Disney even added the Cover Me Strap as one of their top 21 items to keep in your diaper bag.

Making Good on a 2012 Resolution

So, it’s July and not January! I’m about 6 months late on this one but, better late than never, right? In January, I said that I wanted to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. It’s so much easier said than done though.

I started off “watching” what I ate but not really sticking to anything formal. I contemplated joining Weight Watchers because that worked for me (a little) years ago. But, I dreaded the thought of paying for something that I would end up not sticking to. And then, just a couple of weeks ago, my cousin posted something online about her membership to MyFitnessPal.com. I had never heard of it before so I went to check it out.

[Review] Ubby Personalized Baby Blanket

The best thing about a personalized baby gift is that it eventually becomes a keepsake for years to come! Ubby Baby Blankets are just that…a functional baby gift that will be cherished forever.

Ubby Blankets can be personalized right down to the color and the type of the fabric. So, it’s easy to personalize for a known boy or girl or a surprise. They are durable enough to last from the infant stages right through the toddler and blankie gripping stages. Beautiful embroidery and quality fabric make a very elegant and warming addition to the nursery.
