Wall Pops Review and Giveaway Birthday Bash



When decorating a nursery I tend to just see what comes to life as I add colors and things. I am not really a theme type person. I like colors, shapes and off the wall things that still go together but don't actually match. I like the idea of having a saying something over the babies bed, you know something cute but not over the top? Wall Pops has some really good ones and I was excited to check them out. I wanted something boyish but also sweet for Baby L's room. In the baby section I chose the Star Light, Star Bright-Wall Wishes. It is a total of 27 pieces that you peel off and put up on the wall. It was so easy, I just copied the picture provided and it only took a few minutes. Easy I tell you!


(Here is the one I picked)




Here are some facts on Wall Pops -
  • Peel and stick
  • Repositionable, and Always Removable
  • Safe for Walls
  • No sticky residue
  • Quick, and Easy
The website also offers Design Ideas, Create a Design and Window Decor for your living room or bedroom. They also have your children favorite characters like Disney, Nickelodeon, and Superheros.

I love the way it turned out in Baby L's room, it really looks sweet over his bed. I recommend this product to anyone that wants to add a little personal touch to a room without it looking like every other nursery out there.

Sugar Booger Ore Product Review Birthday Bash


We are an on-the-go snack family. Whenever we go anywhere we do not forget a snack, heaven forbid we forget a snack, our world may come crashing down. I am going to go ahead and blame my Mom for this one, she started it years ago when we were kids. Haha.



You never know when you may need a refuel of energy or a boost of something tasty, although we always try to make it healthy. Most of the time it is just easier to grab a "baggie" or a sandwich bag and toss the snack in there. It saves time and energy but does not save on our carbon footprint that is for sure! Ore products has helped us move towards a "greener" on-the-go snack bag. Ore carries several lines of product like the Orepet, Living Goods and the Sugarbooger collection.

We were able to review the Good Lunch Snack Set from the Sugarbooger line. These are reusable, washable cute little bags for snacks or lunches. There are different designs to chose from and we went with the Hungry Monsters design. This snack set includes 2 fabric and one see-through snack sacks perfect for on the go. I love the design and colors that these bags come in! Very stylish I must say. My 4 year old was so excited to see these new bags and could not wait to put his snacks in them! We took them out that very day and they were great. We put cheerios for the baby in the see-through bag, crackers and apples in the other 2 bags for JJ. These bags are easy to wash, the fabric ones go in the washing machine to clean and then air dry. The see-through one you hand wash and it can stain so I recommend being careful what you put in there and clean it out right away. Another great things about the Ore Good Lunch Snack Set is they are BPA-Free, Phthalate-Free, Lead-Free and PVC-Free. Love the products Ore carries and we will definitely be picking up a few more of these handy bags for the future.

Little One Books Review and Giveaway Birthday Bash



 All the Things I Love About You is written and illustrated by LeUyen Pham . This is a beautiful book all the way through. All the Things I Love About You is a story about a Mother and her little boy as she tells him all of the things she loves about him. Everything from how he looks in his pajamas and how she loves to hear his heartbeat, to his messy morning hair. This was a sweet story about the love a Mom has for her son and how unconditional it really is.

Pham is a mother of two boys herself so reading this story told by her really hits home with me. I love my two boys more than I could ever put into words. Reading this bedtime story to my boys really makes me appreciate all that they are and how much the little things matter. I was even tearing up as I read it to them! I cannot get over how sweet the story line is and the illustrations are great. Very good book, we have read it over and over again and I love it more each time we read it. I recommend it to every Mom with a son in her life.



All the Things I Love About You can be found at Little One Books. This website features books, music and videos from birth to age five. It is a great resource for parents and grandparents.






Here is a little info about Little One Books from their website:
We specialize in quality books, music, and video, for children birth through age five, and have personally reviewed and selected each and every item in our store. You'll find detailed information on why we prefer a particular product in our "Why We Chose" section of each product page. At Little One Books, we match each product to what we believe is the youngest appropriate age group. However, our carefully selected items can and will be used for many years to come.

Dora the Explorer-It's Haircut Day DVD Review Birthday Bash


Dora is a household name and her name comes up a lot in ours. JJ loves to watch Dora and her cousin Diego and all of their adventures. I like the show because there is a lot of learning going on from different animals to learning to speak Spanish. My son tells me animal facts all the time and knows more Spanish than most adults!





Dora has a new DVD that came out called Dora the Explorer It's Haircut Day! JJ was so excited to watch this movie, I thought he was going to burst! It's Haircut Day is a 4 episode DVD that features some of Dora's "firsts". One episode is titled Dora’s Hair Raising Adventure- her first trip to the barber shop with Boots, Happy Birthday, Super Babies- her twin brother and sister's first birthday party, Baby Winky Goes Home! -where they help a lost space creature find his way home, and Dora’s Pegaso Adventure- where Dora rides her first Pegaso. We have watched this DVD over and over again and I love that my son is learning valuable lessons along the way. Great DVD, you can't go wrong with Dora and Boots! I recommend this to parents of little ones and preschoolers.

You can buy this Dora DVD for your collection at Target  and Walmart.

Earth Monkeys Review and Giveaway Birthday Bash



Earth Monkeys is an eco-friendly company that makes baby and toddler gear. Earth Monkeys was created by two hip and stylish Moms. They have a great product and we were lucky enough to review the "Simeon" Porta-Pad in green with a sweet monkey on it for my little one. What I love about this light weight (made out of recycled bottles, how cool is that) changing pad is that you don't have to worry about fitting it into your diaper bag along with the 25 other things shoved in there. It folds up into it's own little pouch and has a clip on the end so that you can attach it to the outside of your diaper bag or purse. Love that! No more worrying about changing your little one in public or on the floor at your mother-in-laws, your baby (and your mother-in-laws carpet) is well protected. It is the perfect size for your on-the-go needs and storing and cleaning this Porta-Pad is super easy. Not to mention you are being "greener" than ever because all of there items are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles! How can you go wrong? They even have a Baby Shower Gift Set that any new-aged Mom would love. Check them out today!
