This mama knows how to boogie!!!


Ok well, since it seems that cold and flu season is coming up on us sooner this year everyone needs to know about Boogie Wipes!!

Boogie Wipes are saline wipes for little noses (created by two moms!!!!)...they get the boogies and snot better than baby wipes and are MUCH softer than tissues. These have become indispensable around our house for runny noses.

With four fabulous scents to choose from you are sure to find one that works for your kiddo! Our favorites are the Fresh Scent and Great Grape. You can find them locally at Wal-Greens, Walmart, Target, Babies R Us, and Toys R Us. I love carrying the single packs and handing them out to other moms!

If you want to learn more about Boogie Wipes (or the Boogie Moms) just head over to www.boogiewipes.com and there is also a coupon to download and get your own pack of Boogie Wipes!

A BIG boost for little diners!!


Is your little cherub done with the high chair and ready for a booster?? Check out the Prince Lionheart boosterPOD!!

Instead of the hard seat of other booster seats this has a soft squishy seat making it more comfy for little ones. It attaches to a chair using 2 very safe straps and has a traditional 3-point harness to keep kiddos safely in their seat.

It comes in 6 colors, 3 with a white base (yellow, green & orange) and 3 with a chocolate base (mint green, pink & light blue). We went with a chocolate base because white and toddlers' eating (or rather throwing) habits just don't mix!

Only downfall I see so far is trying to find one locally!! I called several stores in my area on the list and no one carried it so I ended up ordering it online. There are plenty of online retailers carrying them though!

Flying with a kiddo but don't want to lug a carseat?? Your solution is HERE!


We are avid travelers and traveling with kids is always tough. You end up lugging enough stuff to weigh down a pack mule. When looking for one less bulky thing to carry with us we came upon the CARES Harness. It is FAA approved and just fits over the seat back!!

Our oldest daughter calls it her "special seat" and is completely comfortable in it!! She has enough room to pull the tray table down and is just as safe as she is in her car seat. Our youngest daughter fits safely in it as well.

Just tuck it in your diaper bag and off you go! You can buy one here: www.kidsflysafe.com for $75.

The Pacifier Showdown

My youngest daughter has decided to start sleeping and napping with a pacifier. I have no idea where it came from, she never did as a baby, but since we are traveling a lot I decided not to rock the boat!

We had a Soothie pacifier and a Gumdrop pacifier, and while they both have a similar nipple shape they are definitely not the same pacifier. The major difference that you can immediately see is the cut out on the Gumdrop that Soothie doesn't have. The Soothie has always looked like it would cover up baby's nose and Gumdrop eliminates that worry. Both are one piece which makes cleaning them super easy!

Gumdrop Pacifiers seem to be harder to find than Soothie (can be found in pretty much any large retailer) but they can be easily ordered from www.gumdroppacifier.com. They come in much cuter colors (pink, blue, orange, and purple) compared to just the green Soothies!

We love Gumdrop Pacifiers!!! Oh and of course they look super cute with our favorite BinkLink Pacifier Clips!

Would you like to a win your very own Gumdrop Pacifier?? Visit our Facebook page for details!!!

The Best (and cutest) Paci Clip on the Block!!






We absolutely love the BinkLink Pacifier Clip. Not only are they safety tested (CPSIA Certified!!) but they are so cute!!! A few of our favorites are the Peas and Carrots and the Candy Necklace, but they have so many adorable clips to choose from (a total of 12 styles) for both boys and girls!

There is nothing better for keeping a pacifier attached than BinkLink, but now that our kiddos don't use pacifiers anymore we found a new use for our BinkLinks!!! Ever wonder how to keep a baseball hat on a toddler?? Look no further than BinkLink!!

BinkLink has even hit the 3 years+ girl market with their new Fruitabees line of necklaces. Our favorite is the candy necklace!

My go-to stroller


I have tried so many strollers...but I always come back to my favorite and wonder why I ever strayed!!! The Bumbleride Indie Twin turns on a dime (even with my giant kidlets in it), folds up super easily, fits through a doorway with no problem, and is just plain AWESOME!

When we go shopping I'm always stopped and asked what kind of stroller I'm pushing, other moms are always impressed that I can turn my double side by side stroller with one hand and no grunting!

Worth every penny my friends!!!

What kind of carrier is that and where can I get one?


This is a question I get a lot when I am using my Beco Butterfly II carrier. It's just beautiful!! I have one in the "Grace" print. And it's so easy to use!! I carry my nearly 25 pound baby on my back through a whole grocery trip with no back issues. I can flip her from the front to the back without taking her out of the carrier.

This is by far the best carrier I have ever used!!!

Not flippin' for the Flip Hybrid Diaper System

We travel, A LOT. Sometimes we travel to places where washing cloth diapers just doesn't make sense for us. So I went searching for a hybrid cloth diapering system. The first that I did a test run of was Flip system by Cotton Babies. The one size covers had a great fit on the baby.

First up, the Stay Dry inserts. We used just these for one day and they were great!! No leaks, easy to change, less bulky than carrying pocket diapers, and they fit like a dream. I was so excited, because this seemed like a great solution for travel!

Next up, the disposable inserts. After just 2 hours we had sprung a major leak. When I took the insert out it was completely bunched up. So I changed the baby and went on with my day, and my disposable insert test. Next change had the same bunched up insert, although no leak. Third change I decided to try something different, I put a Stay Dry insert under a disposable insert. The disposable insert bunched up just the same.

So I think the Flip system is out for a hybrid cloth diaper system. I am extremely disappointed since I have read such great reviews. On to testing the next hybrid system...

Bath time for baby...and mommy!

When I discovered that my little girl had dry skin I started to search for products that would solve the problem. I tried Aveeno, Johnson & Johnson, and even an adult dry skin lotion. None of those products solved the problem and she still had horrible dry skin. Then I remembered one of the baby shower gifts that I received, a Noodle & Boo Essential Care Kit. It included a trial size of the Soothing Body Wash, Extra Gentle Shampoo, and Super Soft Lotion. After 2 baths the dry skin was completely gone and she smelled wonderful! I immediately ordered full sizes of all of the products in the Essential Care Kit and haven't used anything else since!

I recently tried the Conditioning Hair Polish after little girl's hair started to get longer. It is, of course, another wonderful Noodle & Boo product! We use it after baths and if her hair looks crazy when she wakes up. It's great to freshen up those baby locks between baths too.

When I received my order they had put some samples of the Glowology Sensitive Skin care line in the box. I tried the Sugar Mama Honey Scrub and The Balm. They were absolutely wonderful!! I'm looking forward to trying more of the Glowology products!!

Does your little one have a happy heiny???

Well you won't know for sure unless they are in Happy Heinys cloth diapers!!

We have been using Happy Heinys one size cloth diapers exclusively for about 2 weeks now and couldn't be happier!!

If you are afraid to try cloth, Happy Heinys are the way to go! They couldn't be easier!! Just change the size using the super easy snaps in the front from newborn, small, medium or large these diapers grow with your baby up to 35 pounds! They come with 2 microfiber inserts, a small and a large, and you can use both to double up for naptimes or overnight.

I couldn't be happier with my choice to go with cloth or with choosing Happy Heinys! And having the Happy Heinys headquarters just 30 minutes away makes shopping for my new diapers super easy!!

And if you are looking for a great etailer to get your Happy Heinys stash started-check out Kelly's Closet Click here to visit Kelly's Closet

Ju-Ju-Be's MightyBe: Bag or Supermom's Secret Weapon?

I can't say enough good things about Ju-Ju-Be's diaper bags, who doesn't love a diaper bag that you can wash in the machine?? But one of their newly launched bags, the MightyBe, might just be my Supermom Secret Weapon!!

From pool bag to airplane carry on this bag does it all!! It is super light and even folds up to fit in a Ju-Ju-Be BeQuick, so you should you need an extra bag at the farmer's market you have it with you. With built-in loops for your stroller clips (think Ju-Ju-Be BeConnected) you can hang it from your stroller at Disneyland or carry it by the handles as you board your flight for Hawaii.

If you don't own one, you need one, and if you own one...you need two!

Rockin' Green Soap!!

One of the things I needed to choose when I decided to cloth diaper was a good "green" non-additive detergent. There are so many out there but one of the recommendations from Happy Heinys was Rockin' Green. I LOVED the scents so I picked that to try.

I just placed an order with them since I was running low. I'm so excited to try the new scent, Motley Clean!! It smells WONDERFUL!! I also ordered the laundry scoop, some samples, and a Shake It Up! pail/wet bag freshener.

I have nothing but good things to say about Rockin' Green, it has been wonderful for my cloth diapers!!!!!
