How to HEAL your skin NATURALLY: Review of Antifungal Soap with Tea Tree Oil

Sigh. Despite my best efforts, I have chronic athletes foot. It goes away for awhile, but it always flares up occasionally. I have products that help take care of the flare ups (I like Gentian Violet, Clotrimazole, and straight Tea Tree Oil and/or Lavender essential oil, but I like this soap from ArtNaturals to help with every day prevention. 

Review of Kidoozie's Light Up, Musical Toy Drum (An AWESOME SENSORY TOY!)

I am going to highly recommend a toy today that both of my kids played with practically nonstop as babies. 

This is the Kidoozie (International Playthings) Flash Beat Drum! I first discovered it when I was substitute teaching. One of the Special Education classes I would frequently sub had one of these drums in it and it was a favorite toy by all. So when I got pregnant with Froot Loop, I put it on his baby registry and we received it for his first Christmas. 

One of the BEST Things for Kids to Do in the CAR or on a RAINY DAY...

We have a bunch of these reusable stickers from Melissa and Doug. Froot Loop loves stickers and these are a great way to play with stickers. They’re not actually stickers in that they have adhesive on them. They’re made of vinyl and are more “cling on” than stickers. They’re sort of like the Colorforms we used to have back in the day, only more awesome.

Review of Horizon's Organic Graham Cracker Snack: Even my picky eater LOVES these!

Both of the kiddos and I tried these Horizon Snack Grahams awhile back. I couldn’t stop eating them and Froot Loop had a HUGE handful and kept asking for more.

Review of Infantino's Soft, Textured Balls for Babies

This is another toy that falls into the simple, but well-loved category. I recently wrote a review for Infantino’s Soft Squeeze blocks HERE. I noted how often times, Cocoa Puff’s favorite toys are the simplist. This is another go-to Baby gift for showers, birthdays, and holidays! 

Six of my favorite reusable water bottles

If you’re like me, you drink a lot of water. Three pregnancies (one miscarriage), two nursing relationships, and two half marathon training cycles have resulted in me drinking about a gallon of water a day. I’m always carrying around a reusable water bottle. I’ve gone through many. Some are filtered and some aren’t. Some have straws and some don’t. I like different bottles for different reasons. All of these bottles can be found on Amazon. I’ve compared and contrasted a few of my favorite water bottles below. 

Review of Fisher Price Roller Blocks: One of the Best Baby Toys EVER!

One of Cocoa Puff’s very favorite toys to play with are his Roller Blocks from Fisher Price. They are a fairly simple toy and since he loves blocks and balls so much, I thought I'd try these out. 

Review of Infantino's Squeeze and Stack Blocks: My Go-To Baby Gift!

Cocoa Puff’s favorite toys are often the simplist. He loves the basic balls and blocks. We received a set of Infantino’s Squeeze and Stack blocks for Christmas and they are a big hit here. 

Review of a Doorway Jumper (Use with CAUTION and SUPERVISION and COMMON SENSE!)

One of the most used baby products in our house is the Bright Starts doorway jumper. My oldest son, Froot Loop, received it as a Christmas gift when he was 3 months old. Both of my boys practically came out moving and grooving so it wasn't long before Froot Loop was able to use this jumper. My youngest, Cocoa Puff, used it pretty early in his life too, right after he was able to hold up his own weight (around 4 months, maybe earlier).

Review of Nuby Octopus Bath Toy

Cocoa puff loves bath time. One of his favorite bath toys is the Nuby Bathtime Fun Octopus Hoopla.
