Medela Breast Milk Labeling and Storage System Review and Giveaway

Medela is a popular brand of breastfeeding products. They have been supporting breastfeeding Mom's and babies for over 25 years. There are many products to choose from, and recently they set me a Medela breast milk labeling & storage system to review.



Now when I first received the box I thought, Wow they have really thought of everything haven't they? I think the labeling and storage system is not something you think you might need (at least I didn't) but when you do have the option to use something like this it really helps out. Honestly I was just sticking my breast milk in the fridge a little out of order, kind of wherever it fit amongst the cheese and yogurt. Not a good idea for a Mom who is always on the go and needs all of the organizing help she can get. What I liked about the Medela system is that it is an easy concept and is 100% reusable as well as dishwasher safe. The tray is U shaped and compact, it comes with 2 breast milk bottles and 2 labeling lids. You just twist the lid on the bottle to whatever day of the week it is and rotate them out as you use them. What I did was just take the bags of milk that I had just pumped and tucked them in the tray according to date, as you use one just slide the rest to the front. Again a simple idea and so handy.



All of Medela's baby feeding and storage bottles are BPA free. This would make a great baby shower present because a new Mom may not think about needing to store and label her breast milk. You can save your girlfriend a lot of time and energy by giving her this great system.

ebeanstalk.com Website Review






Toys are the one thing most kids will love as a gift. From birth to about 12 years old most fun things you will buy for your kids are toys. I know for me there are a few toys I can really remember that were special to me. Having a great place to find all the toys you need is a useful tool.
Ebeanstalk.com has tons of great toys with lots of useful navigation to make toy shopping quick and easy. Shopping online can be so much easier than dealing with crowds, limited stock issues and no one around to help with what toy is best for the child you are shopping for.

For a birthday party for my husband's cousin daughter we have been looking for toys for 3 year old girls. Since I have a son I wasn't sure if I should go the dolly route or find something more unique for her. The website made great recommendations on what to buy for her. It made it super easy to find her the perfect gift.

For my 4 year old nephew I found many learning toys that would be great for him to have. He is no longer in day care and I know he still needs the stimulation that some of their toys offer. I liked that the site bundled a few toys together by category. The Mom's Choice pack included two toys that I would love for my nephew to have. The Take Apart 4x4 Truck looks so cool. I actually seen it in a store today so I thought it was great the site offered it in a bundle pack. The Teaching Telephone is in the bundle pack as well. My little nephew always wants to talk on the phone when his mom does so this would be perfect for him!

The selection of baby gifts was very impressive. I found a lot of toys I have not seen in stores. My other nephew is 7 months old and I would love to buy him all the toys! I know for me when my son was a baby it was hard to tell people what to get him because I was a new mom and didn't really know what he needed. I like how the site says under the toy how many months the child should be to play with it. Its very useful. A few toys I really would love to get for my baby nephew are Crawl and Go Snail and the Fold and Go Deluxe Play Mat for when he is at Nana and Papas house.

Overall I really liked the easy navigation of the site. I also liked the age recommendations to make shopping for any kid much easier!

Opposites Day!

 
There is an odd effect my son and dog have on people. They always seem to tell me how "beautiful my little girl is" and how "handsome and rugged" my dog is. Well my baby is a boy and my dog is a girl!! It cracks me up and has happened so many times I have stopped correcting people. The dog wears a pink collar and my son is always in blue, brown or orange. I suppose its a compliment I have a pretty boy and hardy looking dog but when will it end! My husband took our son to dinner and everyone told him how sweet it was he was out with his little girl. He corrected a few people but then he gave up. I told him it happens to me too so we just need to laugh about it. 
Do people do this to your children as well?
