Firefly Spider Man Toothbrush Review

Since my son's first teeth came in I have brushed them in one way or another. I used a washcloth or a small finger brush with water. Now that he is almost 1 and has 6 front teeth I was concerned he needed a better toothbrush. I was thrilled when I had the opportunity to review a Spider Man Firefly Toothbrush. Right out of the packaging I was impressed. Spider Man looked so cool. I enjoyed the way it lights up when the timer button is pushed. We even turned out the lights one night after brushing his teeth to watch the red light do a mini light show on the walls and ceiling. He made the sweetest face watching Spidey light the room.

The bristles were just right for his teeth, he let me only brush them a few seconds at a time but each time he seems to get more use to the sensation. My little guy is very grabby so his favorite part was to take the toothbrush from me and try to brush his hair. I recently showed him how to use his hair brush so now he brushes his hair with toys too.

I would recommend this toothbrush for any parent to buy for the light up timer that flashes for one minute. I think this gives kids something entertaining at the same time is giving them guidance on how long to be brushing. I like the idea of 1 minute for the top teeth then press the timer again and brush one minute on the bottom teeth.

Firefly toothbrushes are also available in Barbie, Hot Wheels and non character in the colors red, blue, green, yellow, pink and clear. You can find Firefly toothbrushes at Walmart, Kmart, Walgreens, Toys R Us, Target and Big Lots.

EcoStore USA Baby Body Wash and Shampoo Review + Cyber Monday 60% off Code

When I decide what brands to buy for baby products I do my best to match a good price with a brand that is good for the earth. Since my budget does not always allow for me to buy eco friendly products I was pleased to find a online store that carries products that are green and a reasonable price. For my 1st Birthday Bash event EcoStore USA allowed us to review the Baby Body Wash and Baby Shampoo. Their products contain what they have termed "No Nasty Chemicals" you can read the big list of what harmful chemicals there products do not contain here. A few I was glad to see not in their products are no chlorine, ammonia, or parabens.

I enjoyed the smell of the of both of the products. They have a subtle lavender scent that is pleasing and not overwhelming. A little does go a long way with these products as well. We have been using them for the last couple weeks and are just now at the end of the bottles. The body wash worked well on him but I do have to say the shampoo required a bit more scrubbing than his regular soap to get his hair clean. I do think the extra scrubbing is well worth not exposing him to harmful chemicals that are found in most soaps. I would also love to try their Baby Sleepytime Bath that contains a mixture of lavender and geranium.

 EcoStore USA is having a 60% off Sale for Cyber Monday on November 29th, one day only!  Use the code TX883 in the coupon code box at checkout. All orders over $25 receive free shipping.

1st Birthday Bash 10 Days of Giveaways Day 7: Bath Time

My son dislikes having his face washed but loves to splash around so I try my best to let him have fun and get him clean. Bath Time for us is also a time when I brush my sons teeth, comb his hair and apply some lavender lotion. I feel like the lavender lotion calms him so he can fall asleep easier. I have tried expensive brands and generic brands and I like to buy Parent's Choice, the Wal-Mart brand. It is a reasonable price and is gentle on my sons skin. This upcoming year I look forward to being able to buy him colored soaps to draw on himself with and fun boats to float in the tub. He has outgrown his little bath tub and will now need a bath seat. Do you know of a good seat or brand to recommend?  I love getting another moms opinion before I make a purchase.

Dali Wall Decals Review and Giveaway

As some of my readers know I refer sometimes to my little guy as his nickname "Birdie". I love to find items with little birds and we had a personalized tshirt made with a little bird on it. So when I was looking at the wall decals available at Dali Decals I found the Cute Little Birds Set. The set includes 6 little birds, 4 standing and two flying. They come in 40 different colors and I selected brown.  We were sent two sets of the birds and it worked out just right to decorate the walls in his room. For only $20 the small birds can make a big impact on the feeling of the room. I feel like you can imagine the birds in motion and I want to now get him a big tree decal from Dali Decals. I made the birds above his window be two bigger birds around a smaller bird to represent my husband and I with our baby bird. I thought was super cute!

We also were sent a set of Jumping Whales. These would look really cute in any kids room or nursery but I decided to put them in our guest bathroom, which now since our son has been born seems to be his bathroom now. They look really cute and were so easy to put up. All I had to do was stick it to the wall like a sticker, then smooth it out with the little plastic tool they provide for you then gently pull of the sticker backing and you now have a cute character to enjoy on your walls. The whales were great to have since I just read to him Wally the Whale. He noticed there was a new character on the bathroom wall when I went in there to wash his hands. He smiles really big when I let him touch the "Wally" whale on the wall.
I really do love that the decals are so easy to use and they have so many to select from.  Kids can be sporty one year and a space explorer the next so I definitely recommend decals like these for kids room since you can change the look and feel of their room with simple and non permanent decals.

CSN Stores Toy Box Organizer Review

For my 1st Birthday Bash event CSN Stores generously allowed us to review a Toy Box Organizer manufactured by American Plastics. I was delighted that we were able to review a toy box since we had just finished reading our book on Clean Up Time. I had fun showing him how to put toys away in his box and how to open the lid. I loved the set up of the toy box since it included a top storage with six interchangeable storage containers.  My son is not old enough to fully use the toy organizer but I do like that he is learning how to put stuff away and where to get his toys from to play with. He definitely likes having it in his room. He likes to walk up to it and throw his toys at it. I figure he is at least attempting to put toys away even if its with a bit of force.

I really like that American Plastic products are made in the USA. I did need to assemble the toy box a bit. I had to screw the top portion all together after having to cut out the pieces from a bigger plastic piece. Unfortunately I did mark up the handle on the toy chest when I cut it from the main piece. The plastic is somewhat soft so do take your time to remove the pieces carefully. I am going to email American Plastics and I am sure they will send me the small handle piece.

American Plastic has many great items available at CSN Stores. I would love to get the Jump and Slam Basket Ball set and the Folding Slide for this Christmas.

You can purchase the Toy Box Organizer that I reviewed for this post for $33.99 with Free Shipping.
