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.

Keep an eye on your baby in the car

Keeping an eye on your infant or baby is hard to do while you are driving while they are in the rear facing car seat, but add a baby car mirror and then you can see your baby, and they can enjoy looking at themselves as well.

This is a really nice mirror because it can be installed horizontally or vertically, as well as being able to be tilted to the exact angle you need to be able to see your baby best.

Easy to install, and use.




You can purchase the Ally & Joe Baby Car Mirror on Amazon.




What Ally and Joe have to say about their product.
Look forward to stress-free car journeys with the Ally & Joe baby car mirror.

Designed for use with rear-facing infant car seats, the mirror allows you to keep a watchful eye on baby without taking your eye off the road.  Your baby also remains reassured that you're there because he/she can see you too!

The exceptionally clear, premium quality convex mirror is lightweight and shatterproof.  There's no blurring or distortion and the large size provides a wide viewing angle for total peace of mind.

The baby mirror is made using high quality, baby-safe materials.  Dual straps give maximum mounting stability to ensure that the mirror stays firmly put when going over bumps and around bends.  It can be mounted horizontally or vertically to get the best view.

The Ally & Joe baby car mirror is quick and easy to mount.  No fancy tools or specialist expertise are required (although we do recommend asking a helper to assist in finding the perfect angle before first use).  After that, you're set!  No center headrest required.

Ally & Joe are committed to bringing you great quality products that you'll love and would be happy to recommend to your friends and family.  All products are backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and you'll find that our customer service is the best around.

Money Belt for Travel

As my husband and I are aging we are thinking more and more about traveling around a bit. With that of course comes safety as well as being able to find your luggage while traveling. With the Money Belt for Travel you get both a money belt and two luggage straps which are really nice to have.

My husband did point out that he could not tell the difference between the two straps because of being color blind but a small color change could make a big difference for those who have color blindness.

I really like that the money belt has an RFID blocker built in. People really have no idea how easy it is for someone to get your credit card information. Now you will have a few less worries while traveling.

You can purchase the Money Belt for Travel on Amazon.


What Travel Hard Wear has to say about their product.
THE PERFECT MONEY BELT? - At Travel Hardwear we strive for perfection. Our money belt is made with extra-strong, lightweight, water-resistant nylon ripstop. The flat buckle, thin construction and neutral color means no one can see the bulge under your shirt. On the skin-facing side you will find a soft, breathable, itch-free mesh panel. Two zippered pockets made with metal zippers plus an internal credit card slot allow for easy organization of your Passport, cash, tickets and credit cards.
DON'T LET PICKPOCKETS AND THIEVES RUIN YOUR HOLIDAY - A modern money belt is a required accessory for anyone travelling overseas. No matter how careful you are it is just too easy for pickpockets to steal your wallet or purse in crowded areas. Don't learn the hard way!
BUILT-IN RFID SCANNING PROTECTION - Sophisticated criminals are now using RFID scanning equipment to capture sensitive personal data from your Passport or credit card chips. Our high-tech cloth blend has RFID shielding technology woven into the cloth to make sure your identity stays safe.
FREE LUGGAGE STRAPS ($20 Value) As a special bonus to our valued customers we have included two premium luggage straps. While some people might think they don't need luggage straps we suggest you give them a try. These unique colorful straps measure (180 x 6 cm) and are designed to fit any standard suitcase. They allow you to easily pick out your suitcase and never worry about someone else accidentally taking your precious suit case.

IRONCLAD GUARANTEE - It is simple. You ever have an issue with one of our products and we will fix it, replace it or give you 100% of your money back! Just check our 100% User Feedback Score!
