Nicole King | Domesticated Momma in Been Around the Blog, For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 0 comments - posted on May 21st, 2013I recently had the pleasure of reviewing the SafeToSleep Breathing & Sleeping Monitor. “The SafeToSleep is a breakthrough baby monitor that can monitor every breath of your sleeping baby. This award winning safety product uses advanced fiber optics to sense your baby’s real time breath rate and stream that information to your smartphone or tablet as each breath occurs. The system will instantly notify you if your baby starts breathing too slow, too fast, or stops breathing altogether. The monitor tracks your baby’s sleep patterns and provides reports on total sleep time and sleep quality. The SafeToSleep monitor has been … Continue reading
I’ve Got a Wiggler! {Baby Snug Review}
Carol Gomez in For the love of parenting, New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 3 comments - posted on May 16th, 2013I heard a loud thump while loading the dishwasher and immediately my heart started racing. My first reaction was to drop whatever I was doing and dash straight towards wherever my 8 month old and 4 year old was. To my relief, the two were situated on the floor playing pat-a-cake pat-a-cake bakers man with their hands while watching an episode of The Wiggles; baby boy safely nestled in his Green Baby Snug. *phew* I received the Baby Snug, created from Mamas and Papas, to review and was thrilled to be able to put away our old baby seat (to … Continue reading

We love the PTPA Award-winning Zazoo Kids Photo Clock
Leanne (Rave and Review) in Been Around the Blog, For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics, Organized Chaos Blogaholics, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics, Special Needs - 5 comments - posted on Apr 30th, 2013Recently, my daughter has been asserting her own, uh, independence. Independence from things like “bedtime” and “naptime” and “reasonable wake up times” and because of it, her schedule is all out of sorts. This means that getting her to sleep is a big huge struggle, often involves bargaining, and most of the time, involves tears {mine}. While the major problem might be that she’s simply outgrowing her nap and moving towards being a full-time big girl, there are definitely other issues regarding her sleep. Things like the fact that she cannot tell time so she has no idea her schedule’s … Continue reading
Motherhood before and after Facebook
Amber in Been Around the Blog, For the love of parenting, Get Inspired: Making a Difference, Inspiration, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics - 7 comments - posted on Apr 17th, 2013I wonder what I did before social media? So here’s my first Blogaholics post. I am a mom of 3 kids. My first two kids were born with 11 months apart. Life was nothing short of entertaining. My kids were as energetic as my husband and I when we were children! Ninety percent of the time our sofa cushions were on the ground and our dining table chairs were turned upside down. It seemed like we were in a permanent state of playing camp. Being a young parent (I was 22) had its good day and it’s bad days. I … Continue reading
Belly Banter Review
juliasuppa in Crafty Blogaholic, For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 0 comments - posted on Apr 12th, 2013Like any baby, when they’re first born, you take photographs. Lots of photographs. Tens. Hundreds, Thousands. I’m not joking.
Especially when it’s your first child, you capture every moment. The first day, the first bath, the first sleep in the crib, smile, roll, etc. Something I also did was take a shot of Isabelle every single week while she was in the NICU, to see how big she was getting, and then every month in the nursery chair.
Sometimes, as mommy brain sets in, you forget these milestones or dates. Here’s where Belly Banter helps. Belly Banter is a company that makes monthly and milestone stickers for your babe. Continue reading
PTPA Winner: Munchkin Fresh Baby Food System
juliasuppa in As Seen on TV!, For the love of food, For the love of parenting, New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 2 comments - posted on Apr 4th, 2013As everyone knows, I love to cook so when it came time to preparing food for my baby, I knew I wanted to make it myself. This way, I could control what sugars and preservatives my daughter was getting in her main meals.
Truth be told, sometimes it’s a pain in the rear. Sure, steaming food is easy, but the clean-up is what gets me. So many dirty pots and utensils.
When I was given the chance to review Munchkin’s Fresh Baby Food System, I jumped at the opportunity. Continue reading
