Moving In, Creating Memories

October 28, 2013 by Larisha Campbell 5 Comments

First, sorry we were really not around this weekend. If you have been following our blog for awhile now, you may remember when I announced back in May that we had bought a house.  We were beyond excited to have been able to find our dream house. What you didn’t know though is that in order to make it “live-able” we needed to do some renovations. So for almost the past 6 months, we have been living with my in-laws while our home went through renovations, including a brand new kitchen. In any of you have been in this situation, I’m sure you had the same feelings, beyond grateful for the opportunity to stay with family, but desperately desiring to have your own space again.  Friday, we were given the go ahead to move in to our home, and no lie, I had all our of bags packed in less than 3 hours.

We spend our first night at the house and we all woke up refreshed and re-energized, ready to tackle the mountain of boxes sitting in the garage. We got a few hours done before deciding on Saturday that we needed a break to go to Ikea. By the time we got home, it was late and we decided to call it a night and turn in early.  Sunday when we got up, Baby Skibbles went over to the window and looked out for a few minutes.  She kept looking at us and smiling.  It’s an amazing feeling knowing that you are able to provide opportunities for your children to learn and grow.
I told Andrew that we really needed to get things unpacked and there would be no surprise trips.  Unfortunately, Baby Skibbles had other plans and she wasn’t letting us get anything done.  In my last attempt before giving up until the next day, I handed her a box with bags inside.  I did so knowing that she would just eat the cardboard, as it seems that’s her favorite food group. However, she actually started pulling all the bags out, and I actually got stuff put away!  She would empty it, I would put them back in, and the process would repeat.  It allowed me for at least a solid hour of getting stuff done, which we all know is the equivalent to 5 hours in mommy time.

 

We have to stop and take a second to thank all of our amazing sponsors. You see, most of our review items went to our house, which was 30 minutes from where we were staying.  Our review time more than tripled and we are still playing catch up.  Our brands have been more than understanding and I couldn’t thank them enough!   And thanks to all my readers, who have stuck with me!
Lastly, here’s a sneak peak into our home and just the amount of work that it took to make our house our home!

New Home, New Roots Just for Dads: Bagster Bag by Waste Management Review & $75 Visa GC Giveaway

October 25, 2013 by Larisha Campbell 17 Comments

We are so excited you joined us for the last day of this awesome event!  New Home, New Roots: Just for Dads, has been an awesome week long event featuring some great reviews and giveaways for things DAD needs in his new home!

Waste Management is the largest environmental solutions provider in North America.  With more than 20 million customers across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, they are committed to developing new waste solutions that help communities and organizations achieve green goals, including zero waste. Last year, they worked with more than 100 Fortune 500 companies to become greener. They are also a renewable energy provider by doing things such as collecting the naturally occurring gas inside landfills to generate electricity. They are involved in many up-in-coming green projects to make the world we live in a better place. 

Since buying our first home, Andrew has been most excited about the projects that he has been able to accomplish.  With Bagster Bag, we are able to complete renovation projects on our own time, while making clean up not only a breeze, but also convenient and affordable.  Bagster Bag is a new service from Waste Management and is as simple as three steps:  Buy.  Fill. Gone. You can purchase the bags on-line or at local home improvement stores and fill them with up to 3,300 pounds of debris or waste.  Collection is then scheduled on-line or by phone and it’s gone!  That simple!

During our last New Home, New Roots event, we had just learned about our sponsor Bagster Bag. We were absolutely amazing at their work and how much easier our clean-up was for our home renovations with them.  We were thrilled when they agreed to be a part of this event as well because we knew just how important Bagster Bag is to a new dad wanting to complete projects around the home.
Andrew saw the bag when he came home one day and was immediately ready to go tackle something on our long to do list.  What new homeowners don’t have an extensive home remodel list right?  Our biggest project right now was removing some smaller trees and the extensive amount of branches that had fallen all over the property. We looking at the detailed introductions on the outside of the packaging, we learned that there are certain exceptions, like yard waste, that may not be accepted in our area.  There’s a phone number to call on the bag to see if it’s accepted in your area.
I dialed the number, and was pleasantly surprised to be speaking with a real human being extremely fast.  I really dislike a ton of prompts, so it was amazing to get to someone so quickly.  The customer service I received while on the phone was amazing!  She quickly looked up and found that my area did accept yard waste.  She went above and beyond by continuing our conversation and asked if I had any issues or questions or if I needed help with the pick-up process.  She even offered to scheduled something for me right then which would have saved so much time!
I truly was grateful for the amazing customer service I received while on the phone with Bagster Bag.
We have slowly been filling the bag with our yard waste and are just about finished.  I know that once we are ready setting up and removing the bag will be a breeze because of Bagster Bag’s professional and quick service.

To read about our first experience working with Bagster bag, see detailed descriptions of the pickup scheduling process, you can view our previous article HERE.

Nuby Tear Free Rinse Pail Review

October 16, 2013 by Larisha Campbell 13 Comments


About the company: Nuby has been around for the last 35 years and strives for excellence in every product they make, working to make the lives of parents and children easy, simple, and fun.  They follow the highest quality standards, global trends, and continual product development.  Nuby products are inspired by nature and offer the best, safest, and most simple choices for baby and parent.  Nuby is distributed in over 155 countries around the world and loved by millions. 

Bath time has always been a favorite thing for us, except when it comes to rinsing out shampoo.  Baby Skibbles extremely dislikes any water getting into her eyes.  Nuby saved the day once again when they sent us their Tear Free Rinse Pail. It features a comfortable grip for the care giver with a deep, slender base that allows you to fill it up easier, as well as a unique tear-free edge.  The edge is soft and contoured so it can be gently placed against the baby’s skin so water doesn’t run in their eyes.

It has made bath time even more enjoyable.  It also doubles as a pretty incredible water fountain and hat. Baby Skibbles loves when I fill it up with water and then pour in back into her tub like a fountain.  It’s an awesome product and for $5.99 you really can’t pass this one up!


BUY IT: You can visit Nuby’s website to view this and all their other fun kid’s products HERE.  To purchase, just click on the Amazon link below!

Prince Lionheart bébéPOD®flex plus Review & Giveaway

October 15, 2013 by Larisha Campbell 9 Comments

About the company: In 1973, Michael & Kelley’s parents started Prince Lionheart in their grandparents’ garage.  They started by making handmade rocking horses that their dad would cut and their mom would decorate.  They founded the company on three core beliefs: quality, innovation, and outstanding service. More than 40 years later, that garage is now a facility in Santa Maria, California, but their beliefs are still the same. 


The bébéPOD®flex plus is the very first dual strap system that ensure the 2-in-1 floor to booster seat attaches securely to the chair and baby. It’s an award-winning, pediatrician approved infant seat that is perfect for feeding, play, and travel.  Whether you are visiting family out of town, going out to eat at a restaurant, or staying at home, the floor seat to chair mounted seat is great all-around.  It features an amazingly soft, non-toxic, easy to clean.  It also has an ergonomic design for optimal support that helps baby learn to sit and eat. 

Feature list include: 
• Soft, durable, non-toxic and easy to clean
• Ergonomic design provides optimal support in helping baby learn to sit
• High back helps promote proper posture
• Pommel helps keep Baby snugly in place
• Leg openings designed for comfortable positioning and support
• Designed from Award Winning bébéPOD® 
• Comes with placemat, adjustable tray and toy
• Recommended age: 3+ months

I love products that have dual uses simply because I don’t like extra products taken up space and making clutter in our new home when there’s a products out there than can serve the same purpose as two baby items.  I love that the bébéPOD®flex plus is both a floor seat and a booster chair that can be securely attached to a chair.

 

There are straps on both the back and bottom of the of the bébéPOD®flex plus seat for attaching to a chair and then straps on the inside of the seat to securely place your child inside the seat.

 

Straps are not fully tightened in this picture for photography purposes only.

We really love that it’s also a fully functioning booster seat with a tray that easily slides into the seat.

 

Not only that but the tray features a built in toy function (toy included) for even more time for play.  An included matching placemat is also included. which is great for eating or storage.

 

I wasn’t expecting Baby Skibbles to actually sit and play with the toy, but she did!  For a long time I might add. I was actually able to cook dinner while she sat and played with it, which is amazing for any mom! The straps and tray should be used with the seat at all times until the child is able to get in and out on their own.

 

We absolutely adore our Prince Lionheart bébéPOD®flex plus seat and our looking forward to more time spent in it!  If you are looking for the perfect baby shower or holiday baby present, look no further!  This should be your choice!



BUY IT: The bébéPOD®flex plus retails for $65 and can be purchase on the Prince Lionheart website or Amazon!

Safety 1st Elite 80 Air + 3-in-1 Car Seat Review & Giveaway

October 10, 2013 by Larisha Campbell 33 Comments

Welcome to the Safety 1st 
Elite 80 Air + 3-in-1 Car Seat Review & Giveaway

About the company: Safety 1st is driven by the focus to make the world a safer and happier place for children to grow up – no matter if that’s in their car seat, snuggled up in their bassinet, or being entertained in a bouncer.  They have an unwavering commitment to child safety, innovation, quality, and value and it’s shown in each piece their create. 


We received the Safety 1st Elite 80 Air + 3-in-1 Car Seat for review and we beyond thrilled when it arrived at our door!  We had been hearing so many amazing things about the technology of this car seat, so to finally get our hands on it was awesome. It’s even more amazing in person! The new Air Protect + is designed to keep children from 5-80 pounds safer during the ride by combining the advanced protection of Safety 1st’s Air Protect cushion system with patented GCell HX foam. Together these two things provide FULL BODY side impact protection.  That’s right, it means it the safest full body protection car seat you can buy. 

Quick Overview Features List (courtesy of Safety 1st)

  • Super-extended weight range
    • Rear-facing 5-40 pounds
    • Forward-facing 22-80 pounds
    • Belt-positioning booster 40-100 pounds
  • Featuring Air Protect +
    • Air Protect® advanced cushion system protects your child’s head, where it’s needed most
    • GCell HX™ patented foam with hexagonal shapes inside the seat provides superior body protection
    • TOGETHER they provide full body side impact protection
  • Easy to identify color-coded belt paths and installation labels
  • Durable, steel-reinforced metal frame
  • QuickFit™ Harness system with Center Front Adjustment
  • 10-position headrest grows with your child
  • No re-thread harness
  • 4-position recline for an optimal fit to your vehicle
  • 2 integrated cup holders on other side of car seat
  • Push button LATCH
We like simple here.  Having a small baby I don’t have a lot of time to do installations and set-ups, so I was beyond thrilled when I pulled this out of the box, saw that it was completely assembled, and all I needed to do was pull off the plastic so I can start doing the necessary adjustments. 

I have to admit, it’s just a beauty to look at all around.  There are cloth and leather material to give it the ultimate luxury feel for your little ones new car seat. The metal frame is reinforced with steel for extra stability and maximum protection. Not only was it easy to set up, but getting it out of the box was a breeze.  At just 18 pounds, this car seat is so much lighter than I was imagining it was going to be.  It is even equipped with a handle bar at the top for easy lifting and minimum impact to your body. 
So what’s my favorite feature?  It’s one of the first things you will notice when you are looking at the Elite 80 Air + 3-in-1 Car Seat.  There are color-coded belt paths and installation labels to install quickly and correctly.  Everything is so clearly and concisely labeled to correspond with each color.  Green for rear-facing, blue for forward-facing, purple for belt-positioning (keep reading for more info on belt-positioning).  Even the manual is color coded so you know exactly where to turn too depending on how you need to install the car seat.  Extended rear-facing is a huge plus for us and this car seat can rear-face up to 40 pounds!  Then, it can used forward-facing until 80 pounds!

Of course before I put the car seat in the car, I need to make sure all of the straps were probably adjusted.  It was easiest (and recommended) to do this inside, so that’s what we did.  Located underneath a small flap at the front of the car seat is a push button that allows you to instantly adjustment the shoulder straps.  I was impressed by how simple it was to do.  There are 3 different buckle positions, and either the first or second position must be used with rear facing.  It was very easy to remove and switch to the correct position for Baby Skibbles.  Now, unlike most car seats I have seen, there is only one shoulder strap slot.  At first, this concerned me because I was confused about how it would properly fit.  Luckily, I was just have a “mommy moment” because I quickly read the manual to figure it out!
The headrest is actually adjustable in ten (that’s right, 10!) different positions and when adjusting the headrest you adjust the shoulder straps as well.  For anyone that has ever had to remove shoulder straps to put them into a different slot while absolutely love this feature.  I have gotten beyond frustrated and annoyed with trying to remove and re-insert straps on other car seats, but with the Safety 1st Elite 80 Air + 3-in-1 car seat, it’s the most simple push of a button ever. 

Baby Skibbles surprisingly cooperated as we made the proper adjustments in the house before installing into the car.  We love all the room that she still has to grow into her brand new car seat. 
Safety 1st has, in our opinion, done their absolute best to make the Elite 80 Air + 3-in-1 Car Seat as “dummy proof” as possible and with that comes incredible labeling on either side of the car seat.  It actually features a total of four different reclining positions that can easily be adjusted by pulling the red lever on the back of the car seat.  To know which position is best, there are two red lines on the side of the car seat (one for rear-facing and one for forward-facing) that tell you how best to align the car seat. 

A 5-point harness and support cushions (select models only) are just two more of the amazing features that you will get with this amazing, safety-inspired car seat. 

There are also Push button Latch and Tether options available based on your car’s manual for installing car seats, and when not in use they both have clip storage places on the bottom of the car seat.  I actually love this because we aren’t able to use them right now, but typically they are just left dangling after falling out of the spot that was supposed to be holding it in.  With clip technology, they never move from their storage location! 
The purple coded features on the car seat are for the belt-positioning option.  Once your child has reach 80 pounds, you are able to continue using the car seat with the car’s seat belt up to 100 pounds!  How’s that for safety! 
Baby Skibbles actually was quite intrigued by the car seat and sat playing with it for awhile before it was time to install.  Now, only if she would play with her toys for this long, I may actually be able to clean the house! 
Installation into the car was an absolute breeze.  Because of the color-coded technology there was no guessing exactly where the seat belt needed to go.  As you can tell in the picture above, on the left, this car seat actually fits up very high in the car allowing your child to see more than they typically would in other car seats. Because rear-facing is that best option for your child, this is a great added benefit. 
With everything properly installed, it was finally time to go!  Baby Skibbles, Andrew, & I all agree that this is one incredible car seat.  The safety features alone are worth every penny knowing that your child is going to be protected by full impact side protection.  We highly recommend the Elite 80 Air + 3-in-1 car seat to everyone! 












BUY IT: The Elite 80 Air + 3-in-1 Car Seat is available at Babies R Us locations for $229.99.  

WIN IT: Enter using the Giveaway Tools form below.  Good Luck!
Giveaway is open to those 18+ in the US Only!  Ends 10/24/13 at 11:59 PM EST.

Gymboree Clothing Review

October 4, 2013 by Larisha Campbell 12 Comments


About the company: The Gymboree Corporation encompasses way more than I ever knew!  In addition to Gymboree clothing stores, they pride themselves on high-quality apparel and accessories at Gymboree Outlet, Janie and Jack, and Crazy 8 brands. They also offer play programs known as Gymboree Play and Music.  They began with the Play & Music in 1976 and in 1986 added the apparel business as well.  

I have to admit that when my first niece was born almost 8 years ago, I loved going into Gymboree and buying her clothes.  They had the absolutely, most adorable pieces among all the other children’s clothing stores.  In addition, the quality of their clothing was superior to other stores as well.  I knew that it wasn’t going to fall apart after just a few washes and that’s what made me keep going back. Now that I have my own little princess, Gymboree is one of my favorite places to shop for her clothes. They can be a bit pricey but when you hit one of their incredibly sales that is almost always going on (Like Spend $50, Get $25 Back) how can you really go wrong!

We were sent a generous gift card in order to facilitate this review.  I was impressed by the customer service that I received the entire step of the way and just how smoothly everything ran, from receiving the gift card, to making selections on-line, to actually receiving my order, everything was above par.   I decided to do my shopping on-line since it’s just easier for me to do that now with the baby.  When I first when to the site, it was a bit overwhelming.  I mean EVERYTHING is so adorable, how do you just pick a few pieces?!?  Luckily, the have an amazing system set up that gives you suggested outfit pairings and then all items from that suggestion are lined up underneath. We fell in love with the Smart Little Lady collection, so most of our choices came from there. 

I love actually being able to continuously see my cart while I shop, so I know what else I’m looking for. It’s a great tool to have at your fingertips. 

Like I said before, checkout was a breeze.  I received a confirmation number, as well as an e-mail and then additional e-mails letting me know when my order had been shipped.  Gymboree has an incredible communication system set-up that always made me feel included. 
When I got our package, I quickly noticed all of the packaging had the size we ordered on it.  I love this because it’s easy to quickly check to make sure the right size was received before opening the packaging. Baby Skibbles was really excited about her new clothes!

We were able to get so many adorable pieces, including a hat, dress, two outfits, and hair accessories.  I really can’t speak highly enough about the amazing quality of Gymboree clothing.  It’s just that good.  I love that because we picked pieces from one collection we can mix and match them to create even more outfits.  Check out some of the photos below to see just how adorable Gymboree clothes are on Baby Skibbles!

With the holiday season coming up, we can’t wait to check out their adorable holiday clothing line that includes some incredible dresses.  Of course they have everything that your little boy could need as well!

BUY IT: To view the entire collection of clothing from Gymboree ranging in sizes newborn to 12 years or to check out one of the other brands in the Gymboree Corporation, you can visit their website HERE.

You just have to add a toolbar to your internet and you can instantly add an item while you are searching any site.  If you have an iPhone or Android device you can download a scan app that allows you to scan and add items to your registry while you are out shopping, this includes local mom and pop shops or Etsy shops.

#2- Amazon.com! The leading on-line store in the world! Their registry offers bonus completion gifts from certain vendors, the ability to add items from any other website with the installation of google chrome, and free shipping on orders of $25 or more (restrictions apply).  They have pre- set-up guides of what top items to register are for each room in your home. They do not offer a completion discount, but you can leave your registry open indefinitely.



#1 – Bed Bath & Beyond

We both registered at BB&B for so many reasons!
First, they have over 950 stores across the US as well as on-line registering to allow changes to be made at any time. Your registry remains open for two years after your wedding date and for 90 days after your wedding you get a 10% completion discount! They even have a perks program where you get extra incentives for registering certain items and even more if someone actually purchases it! Because they have so many fantastic items, there’s something in everyone’s price range. We love that they offer the convenience of on-line purchases with so many stores across the country.  It truly is the best place to register!

September 25, 2013 by Larisha Campbell 23 Comments

Our event has reached it’s finale day, but no worries.  Not only are we planning more events together, but today’s prize package is incredible!

The entire range of products is designed for home safety solutions that make it easy to help keep children safe in and around the home. They are also designed to make life easier. Dreambaby puts your mind to ease in the kitchen, bathroom, car, and anywhere else you can be.

We are beyond thrilled to be celebrating with Dreambaby® for their 15th Birthday Celebration.  For the last 15 years Dreambaby has worked with parents and caregivers to make homes safer to babies and toddlers. Because they believe this success is well worth it (we do too!), they have teamed up with up to giveaway an ultimate Dreambaby® Prize Package.  There are over 15 different products representing their most popular safety solutions thus far. 





The package includes:
-Multimedia Shield
-Deluxe Bath Top
-Cabinet Flex-Lock
-Car Reverse Alert Beeper
-Spring Latches (3 pk)
-Safety Harness
-Loop Latch (2 packs)
-Non-Slip bath Appliques (10 pk)
-Heat Sensitive Color Changing Spoons

-Clippers with holder
-Grohangers (4 pack)
-Children’s Playing Warning Sign

We absolutely love our incredible Dreambaby products that we already have and were thrilled to receive their 15th Birthday Prize Package to see what they considered their top ranking products.  We also loved the opportunity to be able to try out some products with Baby Skibbles that we haven’t had a chance to use yet.  Once again Dreambaby didn’t fail us and reminded us why they should be our go to for safety equipment when it comes to Baby Skibbles.  Below is just a brief recap of some of the amazing products that we were sent!

It’s almost time for Baby Skibbles to start using utensils herself, but for now, I just love being able to stick her spoon in to know if it’s too hot or not.  It immediately starts to change color so there’s no questioning before you put it in baby’s mouth. 
The toy bag is the perfect size to hold all our toys right now while not making a huge mess all over the bathroom.  We are in love with the bath and room thermometer.  I’m terrified one day I’m doing to scold her little legs in the bath tub so I love knows if the water temperature is the right one of not. It’s also pretty darn adorable! 

The sun visor can clip onto any surface.  The handle bar above your car window is ideal, but it can also go on your stroller! It has a UV checker built in for you and there’s no question that it blocks out the sun for us! 

The Flex Lock is perfect for keeping cabinet doors shut while not worrying about screwing anything into your cabinets.  One of the things we were most excited about was the GroHangers.  I couldn’t believe how easily they expand and that they expand enough to fit both my clothes and Baby Skibbles clothes on a hanger. 

Lastly, we were most excited about the Warning Sign.  We have wanted one of these for awhile even though Baby Skibbles is to young right now.  iI’s super lightweight and can easily fold back down for storage purposes. 
As you can see, Dreambaby is the leader for safety and innovation when it comes to our children.  Thanks for 1 amazing years of service and we look forward to celebrating with you during the next 15 years!
