Three Reasons Abba Patio Makes a Great Umbrella

Summer is the perfect time for entertaining outdoors. Depending on where you live, the heat during this time of year can be overbearing. We’ve been shopping for umbrellas for our pool deck for a while, so when Abba Patio contacted us, we were thrilled at the opportunity to test and review their product!

I always look forward to the weekends when I can relax by the pool with my family. The Abba Patio Octagon Cantilever Umbrella, which features an impressive 10-foot canopy is not only functional, but also a mobile architectural feature.

Keep them Safe

Hubble Hugo Baby Monitor Review

Sleep – it’s not something you get very much of when you have young kids. I recently welcomed my second child and I’m back to frequent nursings and night wakings. So much for beauty sleep. If you’re a parent of a small child you know the day-to-day worries. Did they eat enough? Sleep enough? Are they hitting their milestones on time?

One of my greatest worries when I first became a parent was night time sleeping. You hear horror stories of SIDS and I became paranoid, checking on her every few minutes. Technology has come a long way and I’m pleased to have found the Hubble Hugo Baby Monitor. This product makes taking care of my children easier, convenient and safe.

Learning is Fun with Highlights for Children and Bob Books

The early years of a child’s development helps to lay the foundation for all that is to come. Researchers have found that between birth to three years of age, the brain develops the majority of its neurons and is the most receptive to learning.

I’m incredibly blessed to be a SAHM. My days consist of snack and meal preparation, coloring, playing, trying to keep the house and most importantly teaching my children everything I possibly can. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind with a toddler and newborn in the house. I’ve come to really depend on hands-on activities to do with my toddler, when my other is napping.

Luckily, there are a plethora of educational materials available that helps make life easier and your children smarter.

PAW Patrol Pouch Review

Snack time can be a challenge.

Take a walk down any grocery store snack aisle and you’ll find shelves stocked with cookies, crackers and chips. Most of these items are packed with sugar, artificial colors and empty calories. As a mom, it’s difficult to find options out there for your kids that offer healthy alternatives.

Thankfully, there are a handful of companies that care, just as much as mom, for kids to get what’s beneficial for them. One company in particular, The PAW Patrol pouches, come to the rescue with their PAWfect mix of yummy USDA Certified Organic fruit pouches. These pouches are a handy 3.5 ounce size which makes them ideal for bags or lunch boxes.

Because the pouches don’t have to be refrigerated until after they are opened, I just toss one into the diaper bag and head out the door – it’s great! These convenient squeezable pouches are re-sealable and do not need to be chilled, making them a great snack for children that can be eaten anywhere. I love that they have choke-free caps that make them safe for the little ones.

TushBaby Review

Comfortable, Convenient and Saves Your Back – Thankfully

There’s a lot you can do with one hand when you’re a parent. I figured that out pretty quickly when my little girl arrived. From having to support her head in the cradle hold, wearing various baby carriers, to baby-on-the-hip position, I’ve tried it all – or so I thought!

I was contacted by TushBaby to review their safe, ergonomic hipseat carrier! Unfortunately, being eight months pregnant, I’m not comfortable trying it out for size just yet, but I cannot wait. Luckily, I have my husband and mom, aka nana, who were more than willing to give it a test and share their thoughts.

The first thing I noticed was how easy it was for them to put on. Having worn a variety of baby carriers that were difficult to figure out, the TushBaby is as easy as it gets. A simple waistband is worn at your hips with adjustable Velcro straps and a buckle.
