Kidorable: New Hooded Towels + Promo Code!

Last year we were able to review an adorable hooded towel from Kidorable, so when I saw that they had improved the towels, I jumped on the chance to do a new review for them! I couldn't imagine that these towels could get any better, but of course to my surprise, they did! They are even better than before!

You know that we love Kidorable products at our house. Kidorable offer so many different styles for boys and girls, including rain boots, umbrellas, backpacks, hangers, rain coats, and much much more! To decide on just one thing from their website is pretty much impossible. I usually spend a good hour just trying to figure out what I want from only the boys section! I can't imagine what would happen if I ever have a girl.

We chose to review the fireman hooded towel! These new towels are now brighter, and softer than before! Made from absorbent, soft cotton, bath time just got comfier, warmer and much more fun! These towels used to have terrycloth and they have now added a soft velour to make them even softer! They come in 2 sizes, newborn to 2, or 3 to six. We decided to get the bigger size so {B} can grow into it. Take it to the beach with you, or to the pool to stay warm after swimming! Each towel comes in a small plastic waterproof bag, perfect for your child to carry themselves.

I let {B} decide which towel he wanted this time, and he was really excited about his fireman towel. He just might be wearing this as his Halloween costume this year because he is determined he is NOT dressing up as ANYTHING. All costumes scare him. Wonderful!!! Anyone else's 2 1/2 year old this way? Anyway...

Head on over to Kidorable and pick out something fun for your little one! Now is the perfect time to start ( am I saying this?) CHRISTMAS shopping, and what better way than with a discount on the perfect gift? Kidorable is offering up a 20% off discount, now through September 30th with promo code DRYOFF33 at checkout.

Kidorable provided samples for my review and the promotion code for my readers.  No other compensation was recieved. All opinions are 100 percent my own.

EcoBaby: Product Review


I am so excited to tell you about the newest organic clothing, toys and accessories website that I have been working with! Ecobaby Chic Organics is a darling website that specializes in organic clothing and other items for your infant. Each item is completely and 100% safe and organic- meaning the fabrics are dye, chemical, and pesitide free! I know when I was a new mom, safety for my babies precious new skin was one of my biggest concerns. I wondered where I would find things for him that wouldn't hurt his soft skin and that would be soft and comfortable as well.

Well, if you are that same kind of mom, look no further! Ecobaby Chic Organics offers tons of adorable outfits and toys that are safe and affordable for you. They carry many different brands, including Aden & Anais, Green Sprouts, Kushies Organic, Origany, Under the Nile, and more! There are so many items to choose from, you will go crazy trying to decide what you want for your little bundle.

I was lucky enough to get to try out a couple of items from their shop! The first item I chose was the amazingly obsessive Baby Girl Romper in Mumbo Jumbo by Origany in size 3-6 months. Of course, I don't have a little girl, or anyone little enough at the moment to wear this cute outfit, but I was able to firsthand touch the lightweight, breathable and soft fabric of this romper, and get familiar with just one of the many cute things they have. I can tell you just by feeling this fabric that I will for sure be buying more items from them in the future. I am also hoping that by choosing a girl item to review, I will someday be given a little girl to put it on :) If not, someone will be getting a really cute gift from me someday! The patterns and colors on this romper are so stinking cute, I can't even get over it. I can't wait to see it on a little girl, whether it be mine or someone else's! :)

Since {B} is too big to fit into anything on their site ( as most sizes only go up to 18 months), Rebecca was generous enough to send me a Green Sprouts non-spill sippy cup for him so he could feel included, and that everyone can see his cute face! This is actually one of my new favorite sippy cups for him! It really does not spill, and we all know that sippy cups that don't leak are super hard to find! I also love that you can remove the handles, not only for easy cleaning, but older kids sometimes want to use it as a cup. {B} likes taking off the sippy lid and using it as a big boy cup sometimes. It is great practice to get him transitioning to real cups.  This cup only retails $8.95, and I promise is worth every dollar!


Wrapping it up: So what are you waiting for? Head on over to Ecobaby Chic Organics and buy some cute, safe stuff for your kiddos! You should probably block out a couple hours of your day, because it is going to take you that long to look through everything and decide what you want! I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for all natural, organic products. Their site is easy to navigate and their customer service couldn't be better in my opinion! I would love to hear what products are your favorite!

Farm Rich Foods: Review & Giveaway!

I was so excited to be contacted by Farm Rich for this review! Our little family loves to eat, but I have found that cooking for a family of 3 ( and usually only a family of 2 since my 2 year old is an awful eater) can be quite daunting. Sometimes I want to cook elaborate, thought out meals, but sometimes I just want something that can be thrown in the oven or microwave, but give a guaranteed delicious result.

I had tried a couple of Farm Rich products before this review, but was excited to receive a couple of free product coupons so that my family and I could try out 2 other of their items we haven't tried before.

Last week I was feeling a little under the weather, and it was a chilly evening, so I decided to put in something easy for dinner... the Turkey Meatballs from Farm Rich, as well as cook up some rice to go with them. Then I made my mother in law's delicious red pepper/brown sugar sauce to pour over them, and we had ourselves a quick, tasty little meal! AND....let me tell you what a momentous occasion this was. My 2 year old was OBSESSED with the meatballs. OBSESSED! I mean I cooked him one, hoping he would just taste it, and he ended up eating 3 of mine. I wanted to call whoever is in charge of Farm Rich and tell them I want to kiss them because I was so excited. {B} is an awful eater and this was really exciting for us. Needless to say we have had them for lunch a few times this week, and he is finally getting some protein in him!




We also tried out the mozzarella sticks! We all know that mozzarella sticks are delicious in every way shape and form, and Farm Rich's are no exception. When cooked in the oven they get a perfect, crispy outside and that stringy, tender cheesy inside. We loved them and definitely will buy them again. So easy to throw on a platter for the boys watching football, or an easy go to snack for the kids.

A few other things they have to offer are stuffed pretzel bites ( we love these too), pizza slices, and queso bites! I am dying to try everything they have, especially after the response I got with the meatballs!

You can read up more on all that Farm Rich has to offer on their website www.FarmRich.com. You can find a full list of products at www.farmrich.com/products.
