Unisex Baby Costume

I have been looking at these little outfits for babies for quite some time. I was able to choose one to review and decided on the pea in a pod because I think our next child or grandchild will look so cute in it.

These little outfits (there are many to choose from) are great for pictures. I love that they are hand knitted and made with love. This Pea in a Pod is so cute. If you wash it first and dry, it will fit a smaller baby. If you want to keep it at the size it comes in wash and lay flat to dry.


You can find this baby costume and many more on Amazon.

Instrumental Lullaby CD

I was one of those mothers who read to my baby in the womb as well as listened to music with them in my womb. I sang to them as infants, and matter of fact still do to my older children as well as my grand daughters.

Singing is one thing that has always helped calm and relax our children. This music CD is great because the rhythm is like that of a resting heartbeat, like a calm mother humming to her child.

Very comforting for both mother and child. I can tell you this put me and my 7 year old to sleep and can not wait to share it with my grand daughters the next time they are over for a visit. The last time I facetimed with my daughter and grand daughters I sang them some of their favorite songs that I would sing to them when I was taking care of them.

Your child hears your voice the whole time they are in the womb so don't be afraid our singing voice is not up to snuff because to a child just hearing your voice is sometimes all they need to be able to drift back off to slumber, if you don't want to chance it with your voice there are CD's like this one that can help you out and be there when you can't be there to sing to them.

You can find this Instrumental Lullaby CD on Amazon.





ARE NIGHT TIMES AND NAP TIMES CHALLENGING FOR YOUR BABY?Are you looking for peaceful lullaby music but don't want to hear Twinkle, Twinkle for the thousandth time? The original music on this CD can help.

Ryan Judd, a board-certified music therapist with a master's degree in psychology, has developed these modern lullabies specifically to help bring you and your little one into a deep, restful sleep.

These instrumental guitar compositions are based on the most recent research that shows the positive effects of music on sleep.

The soothing ocean waves create a womb-like sound experience and produce white noise to drown out household sounds. This evidence-based music creates the rhythm of a resting heartbeat which can help you both relax, fall asleep and sleep soundly.

This CD includes:

1. Modern Lullabies composed by a board certified music therapist

2. A soothing ocean track that continues throughout the entire CD and between tracks so there aren't any breaks or silence between songs.

3. All of the tracks are played at the rhythm of the resting heart rate.

GoGlass Glass Baby Bottle

 I am happy to see glass bottles making their way back on the scene. I think there were less problems with glass over plastic except for the lead problem.

I love that this comes with an extra nipple so you aren't left with going out to a store to try and find one in the middle of the night because your nipple has just saw it's last use.

Perfect for the bowl throwing baby

Feeding children is always a chore but a baby can be a bit more of that. They want to spit the food out, grab the spoon, draw with the food, throw the food, as well as wear the food. 

The suction cup on the Snug Baby feeding bowl will keep the bowl where it belongs. The lip is great if you are holding the bowl in your hand to feed your child. The spoon is an added extra and completes the feeding bowl for a all in one gift. 

Easy to wash and is also Dishwasher safe.

Having another Baby

Years ago before we had the internet all I could find for nursing pads were disposable pads that stuck to the nipples and caused more pain then good. With my third child was born we were able to find a set but they were so expensive we only got one set of 4, which I had to wash and dry every day so I could use them on a regular basis. Skip ahead a few years and you can find them on the internet for sale in lots of places, still not so much in brick and mortar stores but on the internet there are lots to choose from.

I look for comfort first which these have, washable, reusable, etc. These hit all of my wants, actually I was very surprised with just how soft these were even after washing. Personally I am 43 having had 5 live births, a miscarriage, and taking care of other peoples children for years, and we always said we would be the parents who were 45 and pregnant. 

Let's just say we are highly thinking of taking the plunge to have another child. So keep your eyes openend you never know when another little one will pop up here in Marksville.

You can find these Nursing Pads on Amazon

Somewhere to rest your head

The perfect pillow for your little one. Think naps, bedtime, travel. Just because it says toddler doesn't mean you can't use for taking a quick snooze.

My daughter likes that she can take this in the car with us, she often falls asleep even on short drives to the grocery store so this comes in handy.

I love that the cover is made from 100% organic cotton and is made in the USA, that makes me feel good.

Wash after wash it stays clump free which is near impossible to find in a pillow. Now if the company will start to make grown up pillows I would be in heaven.

You can purchase the Calla Toddler Pillow on Amazon.


What Calla Creative has to say about their product.

Best Washable Pillow for Toddlers, Covered in Soft Organic Cotton. Perfect for parents of toddlers who care about their children's health, supporting local businesses and who buy organic because of all the advantages like guaranteed no pesticides, chemicals or flame retardants. 

Founded by parents in 2014, Calla Creative set out to solve a frustrating problem in the children's bedding market.

We needed a pillow that is washable. We'd heard stories from our friends about accidents, potty training, getting sick and all the other ways a kid needed a different pillow than we were able to find. 

With all the time our daughter would spend next to her pillow, we also wanted a pillow that was guaranteed to have no flame retardant chemicals. Organic cotton is more durable, softer, Non-GMO, and Pesticide/Herbicide/Insecticides/Fungicide free. 

So we set out on our journey to craft an ideal pillow for her. 

We use a special kind of filling called CallaFill that's engineered to not clump or go flat after washed. It's Hypoallergenic and the best filling for toddlers bedding.

One thing that sets our company apart from the "big guys" is that we offer a 3 year "Out-grow-it" Guarantee. It will last through many washes, story-times, dreams and puddles-of-drool. If for any reason your not happy with it, send us an email and we'll make it right. We love spending money with companies that really take care of their customers (like Nordstrom, Buy-Buy Baby, Bed Bath and Beyond and Target) and we aim to provide the same level of customer experience and satisfaction.

Protect your children from the sun.

As a mother I like to protect my children as much as I can and that means protecting them from the sun, at least from a burn, that will lessen their chance of cancer anyways.

With that comes putting up sun shades to protect them while riding in the car. Most cars now have sun protectant in the window it self but a little extra never hurt anyone and certainly not when it comes to the young.

I really like these sun shades because they fold up small into their own bag, store well, they go up in seconds, and the best part is not more messing with suction cups.

You can purchase the Mr Bene Suction-Cups-Free Car Window Sun Shade on Amazon.
