Baby Deedee Sleep Nest Review and Giveaway

Our baby girl is coming into this world at the coldest time of the year. It seems like regulating a babies temperature is always a struggle especially when it is freezing outside! You don't want to put blankets on them because they can come loose and the baby can get tangled or have their head covered. I also don't like to worry that my sweet little baby is cold in her bed and there is a solution out there. The solution is the Baby Deedee Sleep Nest, it is a duvet sleeping sack or sleeping bag for your baby. A Baby Deedee sleeping bag is lightly quilted. They are intended to be worn over regular sleepwear. Recommended room temperature is 67-74°F. They come in different colors depending on gender and range in sizes S-M-L.

This is the one we have, the Dream Pink. It comes in small and medium.

Here are the benefits of the sleep nest from their web site:

No more loose blankets-
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the use of wearable blankets.
Easy on and off-
Shoulder snaps and oversized zipper make it easy to place baby in the sleep nest, even when asleep. This patented design is exclusive to baby deedee sleeping bags.
Comforting cocoon shape-
Unique cocoon shape provides a cozy environment. Babies sleep better when they stay covered throughout the night. Parents sleep better knowing baby is comfy and secure.
Quilted duvet material-
The sleep nest is quilted for an extra layer of warmth.
Cotton exterior & lining for pure comfort-
The sleep nest shell is made from 100% cotton for maximum breathability.

The White has a Glow in the Dark Zipper!

Thinking this might not be for you because you live in a warmer area and don't need a quilted duvet Sleep Nest? Well they also carry the Sleep Nest Lite, which is made from a double layer of jersey cotton. It is intended to be worn in the crib, over regular sleepwear. Recommended room temperature is 70-80°F. The Sleep Nest Lite is made of a lighter material and is perfect for those cold but not too cold nights no matter where you live!

Baya Chic Bags and Accessories Review

When it comes to diaper bags I have owned quiet a few in my day. I feel like because I don't take a purse when I am carrying a diaper bag that it is very important for the diaper bag to have all of the essentials. It needs to be large enough to hold baby things, snacks for the boys, and my personal items, but also I don't want to feel like I am carrying a suitcase everywhere. I found a really great Diaper Bag from Baya Chic Bags and Accessories that is perfect for me!



The Chelsea Collection Shoulder Bag Flower Black & White is beautiful and just the right size for this busy Mom. It has several pockets and the bottom expands to create more room for all your things. One of my very favorite things about this Chic Diaper Bag is that the bag is lined on the outside with a plastic covering. Living in Washington where it rains all the time, this is a great feature. I don't have to worry about everything in my bag getting wet, not to mention the bag itself! The Chelsea Bag also has a 3 piece Accessory Set that comes with a changing mat, an insulated bottle holder, a little bag for your personal items or baby wipes, a matching wallet.I am finding this Diaper Bag is perfect with Baby L and JJ's needing things while we are on the go too. I am using the expandable bottom for snacks, cars, juice boxes or extra socks. It separates things making my life much easier as an on-the-go Mama!




Here is a little info from their web site about the Diaper Bag-
• Includes a changing pad
• multiple pockets inside
• separate bottom compartment for extra storage
• Dimensions: 16L x 7W x 13H
• We offer personalization too!





There are many other styles to Shop from. Their Limited Edition Diaper Bags are beautiful, along with their Picture Frames.

Kiki's Fashions Maternity Review and Giveaway

I have a love/hate relationship with maternity clothes. It seems like they are quite pricey for the short amount of time that you are actually going to wear them. I like my maternity clothes to be stylish but at a great price. I found just that at Kiki's Fashions, trendy maternity clothes for the stylish Mom. They have a ton of great short sleeve shirts, tanks, long sleeves, dresses , bottoms, and clearance for cheap maternity clothes!


For my review from the New Items section, I was sent the Brown Pink Stripped Long Sleeve Maternity Sweater. I have to say I really like the sweater on me, which is hard to say when you are feeling huge! Stripes are in, even if you are pregnant and I happen to love the colors of pink and brown together. The extra long brown sleeve are so cute and they give you extra coverage on a chilly day. I have just pulled them over my hands and still have my finger tips out. The V-neck is a little low so I just wore a tank top underneath to give me a little extra coverage. One more thing I would suggest is to by larger than you normally would, their clothes run small. I would definitely recommend Kiki's Fashion's to all of my friends for maternity clothes. They have really great prices and stylish clothes for the hip Mom in all of us.

MoBoleez Nursing Cover Review and Giveaway

I am a big fan of nursing and don't have much of an issue breastfeeding in public. But if I am breastfeeding in public, I am always covered up. I am a little bit modest in that way and figure nobody wants to see it anyways! I have a few different cover ups and they are not bad but I am always looking for a way to improve or change up anything. A girlfriend of mine told me about the MoBoleez Breastfeeding Hat and I thought it sounded fun and different. It is a stylish bonnet or a hat for your babies head big enough to cover you up as you breastfeed.

Here is a little more info on the MoBoleez from their web site-

What's a MoBoleez Hat?

... and what makes them so special?

MoBoleez hats are the only hats designed specially for the breastfeeding baby and mom.

Covers the breast, not the breastfeeding!

The "stay on head sideways" design means that once the hat is on, it'll stay on, and no more fussing with dropping blankets or awkward, bulky 'nursing covers'. While the big brim gives mom a little privacy, it doesn't cover up the breastfeeding, it celebrates it in a fun sort of way!

Classic Collection - Fun Illustrations on top of the Head!

MoBoleez hats come with illustrations for the top of baby's head (visible when breastfeeding of course!). The cute pictures on top with their lighthearted messages ("Milky Way", "Bee-licious", etc) all convey the message that the MoBoleez mom is a proud breastfeeding babe, with a sense of humour and style!

Couture Collection - Beautiful Fashion Colours and Prints

Our Couture Collection comes in a variety of fun fashion prints on the brim, with a soft cotton knit on the under side of the hat next to baby's head.

Great Selection of Designs and Colours!

MoBoleez Classic hats come in pink, blue, green, and cream colours, and a variety of whimsical designs. MoBoleez Couture collection is available in cream, brown and black with great fashion prints on the brim.

And they are all reversible too - with the plain knit fabric on the other side!

Mmmmm... from the Classic Collection

Elegance from the Couture line

After talking with my girlfriend and doing some research on my own I found out that the MoBoleez Nursing Cover really stays on the babies head while you are feeding he or she. She never worries about the MoBoleez coming off or falling off, although you may have to watch out for those tricky little ones that can pull it off! My girlfriend now gives them away at baby showers and they are always a big hit! They are stylish and fun and are a great alternative to a "typical" nursing cover. I love how modern they are and all of the different patterns there are to choose from. You can buy your very own here!
