DaBib- Review and Giveaway!!!

If you have ever fed a child, you know the typical scene. Food is everywhere. Not only is it on baby, but its on you, the dog, and everything within 5 feet of you. Well, we have tried a bazillion bibs and either they are too small, {B} can take them off easily, or they are too stiff and he refuses to wear them.Then I found these gems...DaBib! The bib (or DaBib I should say!!) is the perfect solution to all of my problems and baby {B}'s problems. It is a great size, so it fits over the shoulders and is long enough to go ontoo his lap. It has a nice and soft scrunch collar that is velcro adjustable so NO food gets underneath the bib onto baby's clothes or skin, and it even has a foldable food collecting pouch that is perfect for those messy finger foods you don't want ending up in baby's lap. DaBibs come in 2 different styles, and we were sent a style of each to try out.

The HUGS style bib is a super-absorbent Micro-Fiber terry cloth on the front, and a waterproof material on the back. This bib is great for the first year for the maily liquid diet and spit-ups galore. You will love how soft it is and how much it absorbs. This bib comes in a few different pastel colors.

The Giggles bib is my favorite for the stage we are in. We were sent the mini-check style. It is a wipe-off bib and is completely waterproof. I love that it is not stiff or plastic like other bibs we havae tried, and that it is machine washable so it doesn't collect mold or bacteria. This is perfect for those messy solid foods, and this bib comes in various designs as well.

These bibs fit infants to toddler and are non-toxic, lead-free and are just plain adorable. Both styles have great patterns and colors for boys and girls alike.

Buy it: Head over to the DaBibs website to buy any of their great products. These bibs only retail $12.99, so pick up one for you and one for a baby shower! They make GREAT gifts.

Win it: The ladies at DaBibs have generously offered to give 1 DaBib in either style (Hugs or Giggles) of your choice to one lucky n.c. baby blog reader!

Boogie Wipes~ review and Giveaway!!!

If you have a kid, you know how annoying it is when you try and wipe a baby or child's nose. Rarely do you actually get the boogery mess because they are moving around, freaking out, or their nose is so raw from you using dry, hard tissues over and over again that they refuse to even let you near their face.

Let me introduce to you the wonderful world of Boogie Wipes!

WHAT in the world are boogie wipes you may ask?

Well, Boogie Wipes are actually saline and scent infused wipes that dissolve those dry, day old crusty boogies that are almost impossible to wipe off. They are soft and about the size of a normal baby wipe. They come in 4 different scents: Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol, and Simply Unscented. Boogie wipes are even pediatrician recommended as a gentle, effective alternative to a dry tissue.

How do they differ from a baby wipe?

~Made with natural saline to dissolve mucus
~Hypoallergenic
~Alcohol-free
~Moisturize with vitamin E, aloe and chamomile
~Fun scents
~Phthalate & paraben free

Boogie Wipes has an easy to navigate website where you can buy products directly from them, or find retailers near you that carry Boogie Wipes. You can also join the Boogie Bunch, where you can get product updates, download coupons, and find out when you can get free samples! There is also a new Save The Sleeve campaign for kids where they can take the Save the Sleeve Pledge (agree to save their boogies for Boogie Wipes, and not their shirt sleeves!), play games, learn facts, get free (fake)tattoos, and read stories and jokes. What a fun way to educate kids about germs and how to keep them to yourself!

Our review product came just in time, as {B} has been getting over a cold and has had the boogeriest nose ever! He is the king of squirm and scream when it comes to getting his nose wiped, and I really enjoyed trying out these wipes! It definitely helped remove the dry ones and made wiping the wet boogies much easier. The wipes are a good size, you can definitely get the job done with one wipe! You all need to go check these out! They are a diaper bag and car on-the-go necessity!


Buy it: Head over to the Boogie Wipes website to buy any of their great products. Also, be sure to check out Achooz, the adult saline nose wipes!

Win it: The ladies at Boogie Wipes have generously offered to give (2) packs of 30-count wipes (fresh, grape, or menthol- combination varies) to one lucky n.c. baby blog reader!

a touch of yellow.

So I am having a bit of Spring Fever this year. Ok I am having a lot of Spring Fever this year. I don't know why, it hasn't even been a bad winter? North Carolina winters are amazing..I think it has snowed twice and it doesn't EVER stick longer than 24 hours.

I decided to get a little color into our life. Our room was only black, white and blue...so I decided to incorporate a little yellow and some texture into it! I am having a slight yellow obsession this year...remember these lovelies?

What do you think? What are you doing to get ready for the beautiful Spring??!

Jane and Me giveaway WINNER!

Kinderglo- Review & Giveaway!!!

Ok, have I got the cutest review and giveaway for you EVER!

So recently, {B} has been having some serious teething issues ( like cutting 5 teeth at once kind of teething) and has been waking up in the middle of the night absolutely screaming. There is nothing like waking up at 3 a.m. to blood curling screams, turning on every light in the house, and waking everyone else up too!

I set out to find me and {B} something that would be portable that I could bring with me into his room, thats not too bright so it doesn't wake the hubby, and that I could leave on all night in case I needed to go in there again.

I found these Kinderglo night lights on multiple other review blogs and had to find out what the Buzz is all about! These little night lights are the answer to all of our mommy prayers! Finally something that is not too bright, doesn't get hot, is ADORABLE, and doubles as a toy!!!

Kinderglo makes many different night lights... an Elephant ( which is the one we recieved and is my favorite!), a T-rex, teddy bear, moon, hippo, moose, and more! When we recieved the light, I was surprised at the size and quality of the product. It is very sturdy and comes with a charging base that it sits on to charge up for the night. After a full charge, your Kinderglo will last for 8-10 hours!

I love the fact that your baby can take it to bed with them...the light never gets too hot to the touch, its BPA and lead free, and the light is so soft that it easily soothes a scared baby back to sleep.

The Kinderglo has 4 light settings... Red, Green, Blue, or a continuing changing mode of all the colors. You can even set it to automatic shut off after 30 minutes. I love that there are no batteries to deal with, all you have to do is set it on the charger and its ready to go.

{B} loves his Kinderglo elephant. When I would bring it into his room with me to rock him back to sleep, his face would just light up when he saw it, and he would point at it and then take it from me immediately! I just let him keep it in his crib with him and he would fall asleep just playing with his little night light. It was always so crazy to go back into his room in the morning and have the light still be on! It holds an amazing charge!

I know that this little night light is something that we will always use, and I am sure {B} is going to love it even more as he gets older!

Buy it: The Kinderglo retails for $24.95 ( which for a night light, you might think is a bit expensive, but since it doubles as a toy and is so awesome, its completely worth it!!!)

**Kinderglo has offered n.c. baby blog readers FREE SHIPPING until 3/31 using code NDE4TEYF2F4X **

WIN IT!! Kinderglo has generously offered one lucky n.c. baby blog reader a Kinderglo night light in the style of their choice! Hooray!

Teething Bling jewelry- Review + GIVEAWAY!

If you have little ones, you know that once babies start teething, they will put ANYTHING in their mouths! When {B} started grabbing my nice, non child-proof jewelry, slobbering, and chewing all over it, I knew I needed an intervention! I was not about to just stop wearing jewelry altogether...so I went in search of something to help us out.

I came across Teething Bling and was so excited. Teething Bling by Smart Mom Jewelry offers FDA approved jewelry for moms that looks fashionable, but is completely safe for babies to chew on! These teething pendants are made from the same materials as most baby teething toys are made from and are non-toxic, BPA free, latex and lead free! You won't need to worry about what's going in the mouth and hands of your precious bundle. Each necklace also comes with a break away clasp as an added safety measure.

Teething Bling offers many different colors and styles! I decided to try out the Gold Teething Bling Pendant. I couldn't even get it out of the package and onto my neck without {B}grabbing it and immediately sticking it in his mouth. He hasn't stopped carrying it around with him since we got it a few days ago. It is a rubbery texture, smooth and soft, and fits perfectly in his little hands. I would say it has been quite the hit for our little tooth monster.

Teething Bling also has coordinating Bangles (bracelets...for those of you like me who had never heard of the word bangles?) and they are super cute. It seems like {B} is always snagging my bracelets whenever he can, so this would be another awesome thing to have on at all times!

Etsy Insider: BoosiFoo

So I have decided that once or twice a month I want to highlight a different etsy shop! If you aren't familiar with etsy, it is a website that allows anyone who makes handmade items to sell their stuff online! You can get anything from jewelry, home decor, baby accessories, vintage items, and more! There are so many crafty people that sell on etsy, and today I want to highlight my best friend Angie's shop, BoosiFoo!

From hand-painted picture frames, to perfectly placed button canvases, you can tell just by looking at her items that she spends a lot of time on each product. Seriously, does it get any cuter than this Owl canvas made of an assortment of buttons?? I'm pretty sure it doesn't! This is adorable for your baby's nursery. She is also happy to do any custom animal of your choice!

When I was back in Utah last Christmas, Angie made one of these Christmas countdown blocks calendars for one of our friends. When I saw it, I fell in love and demanded that she make me one too! I asked her to make one to match my kitchen/living room which is in black and white, and she came up with the Black Jack countdown blocks which can be used for ANY event, whether it be a birthday, vacation, graduation, or whatever you just can't wait for! Mine is counting down until {B}'s first birthday! Angie is happy to make custom orders to fit the color scheme of your choice!

I also LOVE these monogrammed magnet boards! They are perfect to place those little daily reminders, photos, coupons, or recipes! Each magnet board comes with 6 hand made glass magnets ( you can also buy just the magnets for only $7.00). You can also tell Angie what color of ribbon you would like so it matches your color scheme.

Go check out her shop! What items do you LOVE???

**If you have an etsy shop and would like me to highlight your shop next, email ncbabyblog@gmail.com or leave me a comment with your contact information! I would love to highlight ANY of my readers, and it does not have to be baby or mommy related!

Babylegs Review+ GIVEAWAY!!!

When I was pregnant with {B} and browsing the internet for adorable baby accessories, Babylegs was among the first to be bookmarked! I would daydream of the adorable polka dotted, striped, and flowered leg warmers I would buy "If I had a little girl."

Then, I found out I was having a boy. I was excited ... but I knew that it meant searching even harder for cute boy accessories. Babylegs made it SO easy to do that! We all know that the baby industry swoons the moms with girls, and when you go to pretty much any website, it is almost guaranteed to be 90 percent girl things, with the remaining 10 percent boy things (and almost always includes a ball, car, or the cliche " I love my mommy" phrase.)

Babylegs has equal amount of cuteness for boys and girls! The boy choices range from dinosaurs, sports themes, bugs, trains, fire engines, the list goes on! Girl themes include animal print, stripes, polka dots, flowers, and they even have an organic collection!

Babylegs are not only CUTE, but they are very functional. {B} has started crawling now, and with hardwood floor and Spring approaching ( shorts!) it has been really tough on his knees. I cringe every time I see his poor little red knobby knees, so when I contacted Babylegs about reviewing their line, I was so excited when they sent me the Jolly Jacks and Little Foot leg warmers(above)! His knees are already saying thank you, big time! The Jolly jacks have turqoise skulls on them, and are so stylish. The Little Foot leg warmers are made from organic cotton, are SO soft, and are adorable. I love the little dinosaurs!




Babylegs also make diaper changes a breeze. I know when {B} was a newborn I was changing his diaper every hour at least, so these would have come in handy so I would have never had to deal with pants, on and off again! Easy access to the diaper=less work for everybody involved.
Babylegs are great because they can be worn from newborn through toddler stages. You can even get creative and put them on your little ones arms! These would be perfect if you live somewhere cold and want an extra layer under your little ones pajamas.

Babylegs now makes SOCKS and girls tights! And while I can't give an opinion of the tights (other than that they are adorable), the socks are awesome, and may be the cutest little socks I have ever seen! I was able to review the Swampfest and Night vision socks with my little guy(pictured above)! Now, two things you have to know. 1) {B} NEVER keeps his socks on. Never. His favorite thing to do is to pull them off. We have wars all day long. And it makes me very upset! 2) When the socks aren't being ripped off by my 10 month old, they are FALLING off.

Well...guess what. Honestly, for the first time in a very loooong time, these socks have stayed on. They haven't slipped. They haven't been used as a chew toy. {B} has not for one second even thought of pulling them off. Not to mention, they have the little cushioned Babylegs writing on the bottom that helps them to not be slippery. That is KEY for babies starting to pull up on things, and learning how to walk! We are IN LOVE with these socks! Not only that, each set comes with 2 pairs of socks. The designs are to die for cute.

Babylegs are a diaper bag essential in my opinion! Babylegs provide protection while adding individuality to any outfit. Leg warmers retail $12, while socks are $10 for 2 pair. Such a great deal for GREAT quality. Visit Babylegs on facebook for deals, more pictures, and fan-only exclusives! Thank you Babylegs for letting us review your amazing products!

***Babylegs is offering my readers an exclusive deal! ***
