A review of some of my favorite mommy/baby related things

What are the products I love when it comes to being a mom?

First things first, if you aren't a baby wearer you should be because in reality most moms are. We are constantly toting a baby on our hip, in our arms. A baby sling makes that task so much easier.  Baby wearing has been linked to calmer happier babies with better sleep patterns. Maya Wrap is one of my favorite's.






Second thing I love is Teething Bling by Smart Mom Jewelry Fun, fashionable jewlery that is safe and ment for your LO to teeth on.








This next one almost comes above my love of baby slings, but not quite. gDiapers are my diapering choice. I am passionate about them. I always knew I wanted to use cloth, my mother did and I grew up using them on my sisters. I don't understand how parent's can't afford to use cloth. Plastic diapers are so expensive. I live on a budget, and this just seemed like the economical choice. Plus I enjoy striving to be green where I can. I started off with a more traditional cloth diapering method then a friend introduced me to gDiapers.  They combine the best of both cloth and disposable diapering. You can use either their biodegradable/flushable/compost-able insert option or a cloth insert option.  Well I could write a whole blog about these diapers alone (and will) but I need to move on.



Fourth are Robeez shoes. These are perfect for new walkers. They have different stages of shoes for every stage of early walkers.  Fun, fashionable and a flexible sole I have found these to be perfect for my little guy.






 BabyLegs are a fun way to make diaper changes fast and easy. I have found that many of their colors pair perfectly with the colors of the gDiapers. I can easily make a fast outfit with a pair of these, a diaper and a shirt to match. I always keep a pair in the diaper bag for accidents, or if it gets a little chilly out. Perfect for protecting little legs, and arms when their older.





Last but not least is The Baby Book by Dr. Sears. This thing is the Bible on babies. The closest thing I have found to an instruction manual. I have referenced to this book so many times, it is truly a life saver. This is by far my most favorite gift I have received and the No.1 thing I recommend to moms or dads to be. Out of all the baby things we own, this book gets the most use next to the diapers. This couple co-authors the book, with their children (who also are pediatricians) writing advice every so often. A family of pediatricians give lots of real world experience advice from both their practice and their own personal parenting endeavors. True 'makes sense' advice that feels right to follow as a parent.

Well their are many more things that I adore and love but those will wait till a later time. Hope you enjoyed my list.

I'm terrible at this.

Okay, so I know that a time with very limited internet access may not have been the wisest choice to start my blog back up but you can't blame me for trying. It's been a while.... I would like for these blogs things to be at least once a week, working up to every day. So, what do I plan to make my blog into? Well a place where I can share a piece of my mind, my family, my world. I plan on posting what my favorite things are, some recipes. Ways I TRY to be green. I'm sure many posts are to come about my experience with the east coast in North Carolina. I've made a few friends on Facebook and reading their posts about it flooding so much from the severe weather and hurricanes that they have to worry about sharks, snakes AND crocodiles in their front yard at the same time is making me sooooo excited to be living over their soon.  Well, I'm in a park and Samuel wants a nap. So short and brief this blog must be. Coming this weekend, I think a list of my favorite mom/baby things is to come.
