Function Can Be Fashionable with These Top Three Must-Have Baby Products

When I gave birth to my oldest child, I had no idea just how many different products a baby needed. From car seats and travelling gear to feeding and diapering essentials, the list seemed to get longer and longer as the weeks went by. Back in those early days of parenthood, my choices in products were more limited. But by the time my youngest son was born, that was no longer the case. The selection of essential products for new moms and babies had expanded and many of the choices were as fashionable as they were functional.

I never miss an opportunity to add a little extra style to my life and I’ve found a few baby essentials that provide both the convenience and functionality that’s a must for any mom with a trendy fashion sense, too! One of my personal favourites is the Mrs. Smith’s Elite Diaper Bag. This bag takes organization to a whole new level with padded pockets for a cell phone and sunglasses, inner pouches for Huggies Wipes and diapers and an insulated pull-out drawer to help keep bottles and snacks chilled. But best of all, the stylish faux croc bag looks classy with everything from jeans to a dress! [Read more...]

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...]

A Chance at Free Diapers for the Year with Shoppers Drug Mart and Pampers-Giveaway

When my first child was born, I was surprised by just how quickly the expenses started adding up after the first few months. The larger purchases including the crib and the car seat were expected but the smaller items ended up costing more than I had thought. From baby food to quickly outgrown clothes, there was a lot of baby-related product to work into the monthly budget each month. And of course, one of the biggest expenses was diapers.

The Playtex Diaper Genie Elite is a Gift a New Mom Will Love-Giveaway

playtex diaper genie eliteWhen you’re shopping for a pregnant woman or a new mother, there’s one gift that is almost always happily received: the Playtex Diaper Genie! And now that amazing odour-locking device that is a staple in so many nurseries is even better! The new Diaper Genie Elite is the ultimate gift for a new mom with even more amazing features to make dealing with dirty diapers easy and mess-free!

I recently received a Playtex Diaper Genie Elite to check out and I was so excited to see how it worked. The system is the best selling diaper disposal system in Canada and has been a talked-about product ever since it hit the market. I was intrigued to see how the extra features might make an already useful product even handier.

The most noticeable difference between the Diaper Genie Elite and the original Diaper Genie Essentials is the size and the convenient foot pedal. The Elite version is taller so that a mother can drop in the dirty diaper without having to stoop down and features a convenient foot pedal for hands-free convenience. That little foot pedal may seem like a small thing but it’s so handy, as any mother that has ever had a dirty diaper in one hand and a baby in the other will agree! [Read more...]

Enjoy Eco-Friendly Diapering the Easy Way with gDiapers-Giveaway

When I told Chase’s father that we were going to be reviewing gDiapers, he was very hesitant. And by very, I mean he told me straight-up that he was “not washing any dirty diapers; if I have to, it’ll go in the garbage!” The product we received, however, was the company’s disposable gDiaper system, gRefills, so even Dad was able to change a few of these diapers. (Yay for Mom!)

gDiapers fair dinkumFor those who have not heard of them, gDiapers are the newest trend in eco-friendly cloth diapers. They come in gRefills (the disposable form), and gCloth (the reusable cloth version). The differences between the gRefills and other disposable diapers are numerous. Both gRefills and gCloth are put inside a trendy cloth cover, known as gPants, and once the gRefill is dirty, it can be either thrown out, composted or flushed, something I definitely don’t recommend trying with your normal disposable diaper! Here’s some additional info about gDiapers: [Read more...]
