Glup Baby Accessories Provide Practical and Trendy Essentials for Little Ones-Giveaway

When my boys were babies, I learned for the first time how much easier life could be with the right baby gear. I had that common mentality of thinking that all strollers, diaper bags and infant outerwear was the same until I was actually using some different products. That’s when it became clear that well-designed baby products were worth their weight in gold to a frazzled new mom.

Sisters Alexandra and Isabelle created the company because they knew that mothers crave products that are useful, stylish and environmentally responsible. But above all else, mothers crave products that make life with a little one easier!

I recently received the Glup Drool Bib, Trimini and Diaper Bag to review and I was excited to see exactly what made these products, which are designed and manufactured right in Quebec, Canada, so special. I checked out the Drool Bib first because the design seemed so ingenious for both parents and babies. [Read more...]

Now that it’s mid-March, warm spring days are almost here. But that doesn’t mean that cold and flu season is over! To the contrary, it almost seems as if my boys have more sniffles and coughs in the spring than at any other time. That’s why I was so happy to discover Little Remedies. This unique line of cough, cold and pain relief products for infants and children contain no artificial flavours, no artificial colours and no alcohol for a safer, more natural way to help your little ones feel better.

I received a basket containing an assortment of Little Remedies products and it couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Both my boys have had runny noses and slight coughs for the last week or so and while the symptoms haven’t developed into a full-fledged flu yet, I want to be ready if illness hits! I’ve been making sure my boys keep their throats feeling good with the Little Remedies Honey Pops. These pops provide soothing relief for little throats thanks to the real honey in the pops, and kids love feeling like they’re getting candy! [Read more...]

Becoming a mom is such a monumental moment and while the first year with a new baby is full of love and laughter, it can also be a little overwhelming. Babies grow and change so quickly that a mom can feel like there’s always something new she needs for her little one. Some baby gear is more of a luxury than a necessity, but to make caring for your precious bundle of joy a little easier, there are some baby must-haves that can help!

A good stroller is always a top priority in my mind. Walking is one of the very best ways to get back in shape after giving birth and having a high-quality stroller will make a new mom more likely to head out on an adventure. I love the Britax B-Agile stroller because it’s lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and good for both smooth and bumpy terrain. [Read more...]

Stock up at the Old Navy Kids and Baby Sale with Huge Savings and Pin To Win-Giveaway

February 7, 2013 by Kathryn 29 Comments

As a mother of two active boys, I’m expected to deal with a lot of stained shirts, ripped pant legs and quickly outgrown clothing. But what I didn’t expect was my boys’ love of fashion in addition to that! Zackary and Benjamin are tough on their clothes and they both absolutely love getting trendy new outfits to break in. I’d heard the jokes about kids groaning at Christmas after getting clothes instead of toys. Not my boys!

All that love of fashion and of rough play means that my boys tend to need a lot of clothes! And while I love to spoil them with the newest looks, I don’t want to spend my entire paycheck on their wardrobe either. After all, Mama needs a new dress now and again too! That’s why I’m so excited about the Old Navy Kids and Baby Sale launching today. It’s one of the company’s biggest events of the year and with 40% off all babies and kids’ clothing both in-store and online, there’s no better time to stock up!

I love finding exciting new products for my family to try but I don’t want to spend a fortune every time the latest, greatest product hits the shelves. For me, a good bargain is incredibly important no matter what I’m purchasing. That’s why I loved the concept of MamaBargains.com. Highly discounted deals are announced every day and as soon as they’re snapped up, a new deal is announced. I recently received a $50 gift certificate so that I could try out the site and I couldn’t wait to get a little shopping done.

The main thing to remember about MamaBargains.com is that deals are randomly announced throughout the day, so you never know when you might find a new item on the site. You have to keep checking back to find new deals…but that’s part of the fun! [Read more...]
