Princess Twilight Sparkle has arrived!

twilight sparkle

Thank you to one of our favorite PR reps for sending reps for sending us My Little Pony Princess Twilight Sparkle on DVD! It's been a huge hit in this house. Both my kids ask to watch it over and over and over. I'm a little okay with that because I think the stories are pretty cute and they are so focused on friendship. It's hard to go wrong, isn't it? This new DVD has 5 My Little Pony … [Read more...]

A parent’s peace of mind: SafetoSleep™

Edison on STS

One of the things about being a two time NICU parent is you get used to having your child be monitored. Constantly monitored. So when we brought home Edison at about 36 hours old, there were no monitors. Luckily, shortly after he was born we were sent the SafetoSleep™ Sleep and Breathing Monitor to review. Sure, I had a video monitor to keep an eye on him and listen to him, but this new baby … [Read more...]

We have a new stroller at our house: The Joovy Ultralight Caboose Too

double stroller

Adding a third child to our family definitely changes things in the stroller department. That's why I'm so glad that Joovy generously sent me a Ultralight Caboose Too for review. This double stroller is great solution for us with a lot of flexibility. The Joovy Ultralight Caboose Too can accomodate two of my children in a number of ways: Using the infant car seat adaptor, I can place … [Read more...]

A place to nap for Edison from Summer Infant!

rest up 1

Right after Edison was born (like right after, I think I was home for about 36 hours) I received an email from my friends at Summer Infant asking if I wanted to try out their new Resting Up™ Napper. Since I'm all about places to safely keep my baby, I was happy to say YES! As I type this post, Edison is happily chilling in the Resting Up™ Napper. He's hiccuping and cooing away, and I love … [Read more...]

Philips AVENT Double Electric Comfort Pump = date night

pump 2

As part of my Philips AVENT ambassadorship, I received the  Philips AVENT Double Electric Comfort Pump. I'm pretty excited because it means I JUST might get to go on a DATE with my husband. ALONE. Without the kids. Almost unheard of. After two NICU babies, I've done a lot of pumping. Both with hospital grade pumps and "regular ol breast pumps" I've even used both single electric and manual … [Read more...]

Princess time: Sofia the First

Much to Quincy's delight, we were giving a copy of Sofia the First to review. It's a delightful story that's full of singing (one of Quincy's favorite things to do) and surprises. It's been a real hit in our house and I'm sure we'll watch it over and over again. The DVD we received even came with a Princess in training kit including stickers and a TIARA! How fun! Sofia the First Disney … [Read more...]

A safe ride for Edison: the Britax Chaperone infant car seat

infant car seat

In 2010, when we needed to choose an infant car seat to bring home Quincy, we selected the Britax Chaperone. With safety features like the anti-rebound bar and true side impact protection, not to mention previous experience with the Britax brand, it was an easy choice for us. Luckily, Britax sent us a new Chaperone to use for Edison so he could be just like his big sister when she came home two … [Read more...]

New babies bring new traditions #GrowWithMeNG

Gymbo jammie Collage

This is a sponsored post. Edison came home just in time for Easter and to celebrate spring with his big brother and sister. Easter weekend was full of warm weather, sunshine, and outdoor fun for his older siblings. New traditions For as scattered brained as I am (no really) I am big on simple traditions. I do special jammies at Christmas, and with Edison's arrival for Spring, decided that … [Read more...]
