Flower snack keeper - nuby review

I have to take a minute to talk about the insane cuteness of this snack keeper from Nuby... we're all seen them before, right? boring containers that are supposed to keep your kids snacks from spilling all over the place... they rarely work... and are limited in design... but leave it to Nuby to provide us with ANOTHER awesome product...
"No more messy snacks! Our unique Snack Keeper™ cup keeps kid-sized snacks inside the container instead of on the floor or car seat. The soft silicone flaps make it easy to grab snacks without spilling. Nûby™ feeding accessories are made to withstand the challenges of daily use and retain their bright color."
Well - Rozzlyn put it to the test... Shes at that fun *annoying* stage where she likes to take two bites of something then toss it overboard and then do the naughty *adorable* UH-OH!!! when it spills all over the place... but not now Ms. Rozzlyn - you've met your match!
I believe this face was more of a... heyyyyyy wait a minute! She was disappointed where there wasn't a cheerio explosion that hit the ground - mama however, was THRILLED. 
Its so easy to use - and I now find myself bringing this thing everywhere. Especially my office... I can't have her snacky crumbs all over the place - so this is the perfect solution.  We approve Nuby!!

AHHHHH!!! Nuby iMonster Feeding Set Review

Who says you can't have fun with your food?? With the Nuby iMonster feeding set - fun is mandatory... The set features super cute designs of little monsters - ready to eat whatever dinner you don't finish...
I use them round the clock for all their meals as they are built to withstand hot or cold temps... and just toss them in the dishwasher when I am finished.

"Each piece in this feeding set is specially designed to be easy for little hands to hold and use. Toddler Plate and Bowl are ideal for children who are beginning to feed themselves. Suitable for warm or cold foods. Our colorful forks and spoons are designed to meet all of these special needs for either left or handed or right handed babies."
This set is so fun for kiddo's of all ages - The spoon and fork are PERFECT for Rozzlyn as she is just beginning to learn to use them - and the deep bowl makes that even easier for her to scoop up the grub. Though - she is still a big fan of her hands for scrambled eggs...
 Izzaq had fun with his waffles this morning... making faces at his monster plate... almost challenging his monster to eat his waffles before he did... Izzaq won this battle :)
Another great product by a company that I am so proud to stand behind. Thank you Nuby for all your awesomely creative designs that make meals fun and easy!
Want your own? You can get them by visiting www.buybabydirect.com. The iMonster feeding set is just $12.99.

Cutest Valentines ever!!

At the end of January we received a note home about Valentines... we weren't allowed to send candy or treats... so I had to get creative. Hmmmm. Just boring old valantines end up in the trash - so I knew I needed to step it up... I started searching on Etsy for some ideas. And with all the awesome options - these mustache tags caught my eye. I instantly knew what I was going to do... JsCraftyStudio - funny enough was located just about 9 miles from my home town. Of ALL the options, what are the chances of that!? Her customer service was fantastic... prices MORE than affordable - and a great quality product. She made me a custom order for 30 and had them out super quick... Today I ran to the dollar store and for $5 more picked up 30 stick on mustaches... As soon as Izzaq got home from school today we got to work... I hand wrote To & From on the back... and Izzaq wrote their names. Then we used double stick tape to attach the mustaches to the backs. Im so happy with how they turned out and he has already asked me about 100 times when they can all wear their mustaches. Handmade Valentines = success!!

Nuby Easy Grip Steaming Bowl Review

I have a lot of favorite nuby products... but Im can confidently say this one is at the top of that list...
Now that I am working out of the house and Daddy is home taking care of the kids - I like to make things simple for him... part of that is prepping meals for Baby Rozzlyn... The Nuby Easy Grib Bowl makes that SO SO easy... Its has two sectioned parts and a lid designed for steaming... it can literally go straight from the fridge to the microwave. Today I had pasta on one side and green beans on the other... I popped it in the microwave for 20 seconds... and when it came out it was perfectly steamed and ready to eat. No mess... No fuss... just an easy, healthy lunch for the princess.
"Our sectioned Easy Grip™ Bowl is perfect for feeding time because it is easy for mom to hold and has multiple compartments for different foods. The soft ergonomic design of the thumb rest allows the bowl to be held with either hand in a comfortable and more natural feeding position. It comes with a seal-tight lid that features an automatic steam vent which allows the sealed bowl to be microwaved safely. This unique feature prevents nasty splashes in the microwave and allows the bowl to go from refrigerator to microwave without any problems."
