Glodose is a light up medicine dropper. This is a wonderful invention since i hate to wake my kids up more than necessary when they need medicine in the middle of the night. It puts off enough light that you can see how much medicine you're putting in the dropper without having to light up the whole room. This was super handy last night when I had to give my daughter Tylenol due to an ear infection. I don't like that the suction isn't very strong so it takes a little while to get the proper does of medicine. It holds a teaspoon or 5mL of medicine, so if your child would need more than that you could do 2 doses. You can get the Glodose here for only $7.99.

Are you one of those women that hates having her purse or even your diaper bag sitting on the dirty floor?! Who even knows what is down there! I love the idea of purse hooks but who wants to take 5 minutes looking through their purse to find it? I know I don't. Clipa is a purse hook/loop that you attach to your purse strap so its easy to find. You can also hook it to the little bars under your headrest in your car so you never have to worry about your purse dumping on the floor of the car! The Clipa can hold 45 lbs (Although I hope no ones purse is that heavy). After you hang it on the table when you're ready to go you can just grab your purse and walk away and it stays on your purse strap so you can use it later. Clipa will even fit on your wrist! Yeah I thought they were crazy when they told me this because to me I don't have small wrists but sure enough it fit and it wasn't uncomfortable or anything! And my husband being the skeptic he is even tried it on himself but it didn't fit his wrist as well haha. So you can have a fashionable bracelet as well as purse hook!

We received an Evenflo Symphony All-in-One Car seat I love this car seat! We bought a different brand for my oldest daughter when she was the same age and when it reclined it didn't go back enough so that her head didn't lean forward...which looks very uncomfortable. This car seat is different it tilts back enough in the rear facing position i don't have to worry about my daughters neck being sore when she wakes up. We've been using this seat for awhile now and she loves it as well as i do. I would highly recommend this seat to anyone in need of a new seat that can grow with your child. The latches on this seat are awesome they aren't the clips that are really hard to hook to the anchor system they have a longer handle and the button to release them is on top so its easy to remove the seat if needed. This seat comes with an insert for newborns. I'm using the seat portion for my daughter who is 6 months. I tried using the head portion but it pushed her head too far forward which I wasn't comfortable using. The cup holder that came with it is cheap plastic that doesn't seem like it will last very long when it is time for us to use it, but hopefully I'm wrong and it lasts the life of the seat.

I received Cotton Booty's October Box and I must say as soon as I opened it I fell in love! We got a Rump a rooz One size APLIX in Amethyst with a microfiber insert, a 100% real Baltic Amber teething necklace, a sample of CJ's butter, and 3 Ocusoft eyelid cleaning wipes. We tried the diaper on my 5 month old daughter and she loved it as well as I did. It was easy to prep and it fit her really well and it didn't leak at all. I put the Baltic Amber necklace on my 21 month daughter who is still teething and has been really cranky and always chewing on her hands. She's now been wearing this necklace for a week or more and I thought there is no way you can actually see that is is relieving her pain like it says it will but I definitely can see a difference. She isn't chewing on her hands as much, really hardly at all, and she definitely isn't as cranky. I haven't had a chance to try CJ's butter yet but I will do that soon. The ocusoft wipes are really nice to get the gunk off their eyes after they wake up. I'd highly recommend signing up for CottonBooty if you love cloth diapers! Its $24.99 a month which isn't bad when your getting a new diaper every month! You can check them out here Disclosure: I was given a free sample of this product to review.

MamaRunsWithScissors I must say that sounds very dangerous lol She has some adorable things! She sent me a pair of leg warmers for review! When I opened the envelope they came in it said they'll fit any age child so of course me being curious and having both and infant and toddler I had to see if they did! And it wasn't a lie they fit both of my girls great! I was so excited for her to wear them! They are super good quality and nice and thick! I will definitely be ordering more very soon! See even she loved them! I know they don't look great with just a disposable diaper but we're in the process of getting our cloth sent to us!
She not only sells leg warmers she has shirts, skirts, tutus, dresses! Go check her out here

Ok call me crazy but when I received the sample packs of Rockin Green Soaps I was so excited to do laundry! So what did I do..well of course I went and grabbed some dirty clothes! I washed a load of whites and I know they definitely came out whiter than they went in. I love the scent of all of them too! I received the classic soaps, so the scents were Motley clean, Lavender Mint Revival and Smashing Watermelons crazy names but the all smell really good. The great thing is I can wash my cloth diapers with this too without having to worry about them being ruined! For a load of laundry all you use is 2-3 Tbsp of the detergent. I've never used a powder detergent before this since I wasn't sure how well powdered detergent actually worked, so I've used the messy liquid stuff that for me seems to get everywhere! I can say I will no longer be using any liquid detergent I will be switching to Rockin Green!
I received the flower power print which is adorable!I love this since my now 5 month old who is now rolling over and who also loves to be swaddled and once they start rolling over its no longer safe to have her arms swaddled since she won't be able to roll back over. My daughter loves it, as do i since i she can still have the swaddled feeling but with her arms free! It also has a zipper on the bottom which is super handy for those middle of the night diaper changes. The only problem with that is if you live somewhere cold like I do you sometimes have to dress your child in more than a onesie so its more difficult to change them if they have a zip up sleeper on.

I received ToeBlooms and as soon as i opened the box i fell in love with these beautiful "shoes" They are absolutely beautiful! As I inspected them further I thought they were kind of crazy looking and didn't see how they would fit on my daughters feet, but to my surprise they were super easy to put on her and they weren't tight fitting and she didn't hardly notice they were there! They also sent a beautiful headband to match the pink pair of ToeBlooms we received. I thought okay I'm going to have to wait for summer for her to be able to wear these and by then since the ones i got only go up to 12 months she'll out grow them by June when she turns 1, but i went to their website and saw you can put socks under them so your child can wear these beautiful pieces of art all year long! They also make them for boys in some pretty cute styles and for the boys they are called ToeBuds.

I got these 2 reusable sacks one snack sack and a sandwich sack. I love to use reusable snack/sandwich sacks to help reduce the plastic waste that leaves our home. The inside of the sacks are easy to clean and you can machine wash them with unscented detergent and throw them in the dryer or you can rinse with water and let air dry. All materials are lead, phthalate and BPA free! I must say the print is adorable! My daughter loves using them since she can open and close them by herself. Now we can take her snacks with us without using those lovely container that have open tops and make it easy to spill and she can't put the lid on them by herself but these she can open then Velcro them closed when she's done eating.
Snack Taxi has been in business since 2003. Their mission at snackTAXI is to make high quality, affordable reusable bags that empower everyone to reduce waste, while embracing business practices that respect our community, environment, and Earth.
I signed up on Houseparty.com to host a Mega Bloks first builders house party and was selected! I was super excited since my daughter loves the Mega Bloks she currently has! Whats more fun that playing with one of your favorite toys and having your friends over to play as well?! You have to host the party on the official party date which for this party was November 9th. They send you emails on ways to add extra little things to your party such as snack ideas and coloring pages to give to the kids as well as other ideas. Everyone you invite has to be emailed so you'll need your friends emails if your selected. After being picked to be a host they send your party pack out about 2 weeks after you're selected, and it will be received at least a week before your party. In my party pack i received to sets of First builders blocks in the Classic colors and also pink. I got the Billy Beats dancing piano, 10 packs of Mega Blok buddies for my guests and 10 coupons for my guests as well. I will say the Billy Beats dancing piano was my daughters favorite! He can be used to play music to dance along to or you can set it so you can play yourself. Everyone that came loved playing with the blocks and believe me they were everywhere haha they also loved having a little "gift" to take home with them as well! I would definately recommend you go check them out and maybe sign up to be a host yourself. They have partys for kids and even for adults. You just pick the ones you're interested in and wait to see if you're selected!

We received a bedrail and since my daughter is now 21 months and thought it was SO cool that she could climb out of her crib on her own, we moved her into a toddler need. The bedrail isn't great for a toddler bed but if she had a twin bed it would be awesome. It has the metal bars that sit under the bed to hold it in place but they also added 2 straps with metal circles to put on the other side of the bed as added support to make sure that the rail doesn't slide out of place. I'd highly recommend this if your transitioning your toddler to a twin bed. Even though it's sort of big for a toddler bed it still works well and she hasn't been able to move the rail, (believe me this girl moves like crazy while she's sleeping) The rail will also fold down so that during the day/morning they can get in and out of bed easily. It does have the breathable mesh so if the child'd face were to be against it they wouldn't have any issues breathing.

I received a tin Kaleidoscope from KaleidoscopesToYou.com. I know as a child this was one of my favorite toys and something you could play with for a long time which often caused fights between my brothers and I haha. I'm so glad I got the chance to let my daughter play with this and show her how it worked. She loved to see all of the different colors and shapes. They not only have some made from tin but also beautiful wood ones as well. This is a very sturdy toy and with a 20 month old playing with it, it has to be tough
Sara Lee Classic Dinner Rolls (or the really soft small-sized dinner rolls from the bakery), sliced in half
Cheese slices(you can use Kraft Singles or sliced Velveeta cheese.. we used Velveeta)
Instructions
In a large bowl mix the hamburger, Lipton onion soup mix, peanut butter, and milk. Spread the meat mixture on a cookie sheet. Use a rolling pin to roll over the meat to smooth it out.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. The meat will shrink. Take it out of the oven and put the diced onions all around the edges, this will give the meat a great flavor.
Bake for 15 more minutes, remove from oven, then spoon the onions from the edges all over the top of the meat and layer with cheese slices.
Bake another 7-10 minutes (until cheese is melted). Then add the tops of your rolls (the bottom part of the rolls will just sit on the counter) and place back in the oven for about 5 more minutes.
Take it out of the oven. Slice the meat with a pizza cutter and pick up the slider/top bun with a spatula and set it on the bottom bun.
Tommee Tippee closer to nature bottles The bottles are small and fat which make them so much easier to hold on to! Even though they are small they hold 5 oz. which is more than some of the other small bottles. My daughter is drinking 5-6 oz at each feeding and i don't want to carry an 8 oz bottle if i can take this smaller bottle and it will give her as much as she wants. It has an indent in the center of the bottle which makes it easier to hold onto.
They are anti-colic bottle which has been wonderful since my daughter gets super fussy since she gets super gassy if we're not using the right bottle for her. It has an air valve which releases air bubbles while they drink.
This pack of bottles came with 3 bottles and 2 pacifiers and they all had a cute little snowflake design on them. I have used several other bottles which include straws or several extra parts, and i know with a 5 month old and a 20 month old i don't have time to wash a million different parts for bottles. This bottle only has 4 parts.
One thing I love about the Tommee Tippee sippy cups is the little lid for the spout and that it doesn't leak! It's easy for my daughter who is 20 months to open the lid so she can get a drink when she wants without me helping her and it also helps the spout stay clean. When you open the lid it fits nicely in the lid of the cup so it isn't in the way and won't be broken off if dropped which it is quite often.
I got a free trial of the Julep maven box. I did the profile and was able to pick my colors since I didn't like the colors they choose off of my profile. When I received them they were a lot smaller than I expected them to be, but the colors are very pretty. One thing i didn't like is that i ordered later in the month and then on the 27th (which is the day they send monthly shipments) i was charged and shipped another box. It is $19.99/box and they are sent and charged monthly on the 27th. I love nail polish but don't know that i can justify spending $19.99/mo on it since its an added expense we don't need right now but someday i will own it all haha
If you're interested in becoming a Julep maven you can use the following link to order http://www.julep.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/380787 if you use the code FREEMAVEN your box will be free, but you care charged $3.99 for shipping
I received a Zippy from the company Zipadee-Zip. My daughter is now 5 months and i'm trying to break her from wanting to be swaddled every time she wants to sleep especially since she is now rolling over and its unsafe for her to be swaddled and not be able to roll back over. She was even having to be swaddled during naps, it was the only way she would take longer than a 30 minute nap. I have had to swaddle her a few times still but overall she loves the Zippy! The Zippy helps to keep her from throwing her arms up due to her startle reflex which was why swaddling was a life saver. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is having troubles with transitioning from a swaddle. I absolutely love the print that we received which is Little Luv Bug! They have several adorable prints for boys and girls. To buy one go here.

oz. frozen spinach, thawed (I used fresh spinach) (optional)
16
oz. bowtie pasta, cooked
½
cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1½
cup mozzarella, shredded

*Brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Put in crock-pot and add sauce, tomatoes and seasonings. Cook for 6-7 hours on low. Add the last 4 ingredients during the last 30 minutes of cooking and turn crock-pot to high. I added the fresh spinach, pasta, parmesan and 1 cup of the mozzarella and I mixed it all up really well. Then I added the last 1/2 cup of mozzarella to melt on the top.
With having a 20 month old and 5 month old girls you can imagine that i use a ton of wipes! I always have them with me in my car, my purse, the diaper bag and i'm sure i'm missing somewhere as well haha. Several brands make wipes packaged in those lovely plastic wrappers so they're portable but they can take up a ton of room and are really heavy! The UberMom wipebox is super lightweight which is very nice for carrying in your diaper bag or your purse for those short trips to the store or anywhere. It is lightweight and thin you do not have to worry about it adding extra weight to your bag or taking up much room. I am happy with how well it closes and stays closed even when you pack the Wipebox full with wipes. I have not had any issues with it popping open so no dry wipes. I also have found that no air creeps in and dries the wipes out they stay moist at all times.
The Wipebox is extremely durable and strong. I have dropped it a few times just to see how well it would stand to being dropped, because I know that is coming. It has withstood the drops with ease no cracks or scratches. I am very pleased with the Über Mom Wipebox and cannot wait to get to show it off
About the company: At Über Mom, they are focused on quality and style and realized the need for an attractive and functional wipe case. Wipes are not just for babies anymore. Grab a Wipebox and keep it in your handbag, diaper bag, glove box, sports bag, backpack or desk. Refill it with any brand of wipes and have it handy for quick clean ups.
Where to purchase: You are able to make a purchase from the Über Mom website. The Wipebox is also available at amazon.com, Noodleandboo.com, The Baby Depot, any many boutiques across the country for $6.99.

Are you looking for a way to entertain your baby while breastfeeding or even doing daily things? Smart Mom Jewelry has a fabulous product...the teething necklace! They are not only stylish but babies love them! My 5 month old loves to be held especially while i'm eating and this makes it easy to keep her entertained as well as be able to eat a semi-warm meal! The teething bling necklace is soft, stylish and durable! It has a break-away clasp which was a little hard to pull apart but i'm sure that's because it was new and hasn't been used much..YET!

Cook chicken, soup, butter, and broth in crockpot on low for 8 hours (I cooked it on low for 6 1/2 hours). Take chicken out and shred. Put chicken back in; add noodles and cook on low for 2 hours. Stir a few times while cooking. I served this over mashed potatoes, with a side of green beans.
If you don't want to use frozen noodles you can also use dried egg noodles.
Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has!

The Story Behind Slumber Stories
My children were bored of reading and hearing the same stories at bedtime. It didn't financially make sense to go out and buy a new book every day for bedtime. I wanted to find a way to make it more exciting for them.....So I created Slumber Stories Dice as a fun way to make up silly stories at bedtime.
But they don`t only use them at bedtime....they play them as a game during the day as well. I love playing Slumber Stories with them and laughing with them at the stories they are able to create from the dice.
They have created stories about princess astronauts, a cowboy that lived in a tree and even a love story about a dog and a cat LOL!
I found these tables online and thought they were pretty cool! I know in our living room we don't have enough room for side tables so having something that sits right next to the couch and folds out as needed would be wonderful! Plus no need to worry about your little ones getting hurt on the corners of a table since it has rounded edges and can fold down. Its easy to set up as well! The installation instructions are posted below. You can check out their website at www.tucawaytables.com
Step 1
Use the enclosed measuring tool. Measure from the floor to the base of furniture. Match the number on back of your TUC-Away Table. Move bar to proper hole.
Step 2
Angle the table to slide the bar under furniture. The TUC-Away Table should fit firmly against the side of your furniture. (If table is pulling away from furniture easily, adjust the metal bar to a higher position. This will increase tension and allow you to put more weight on the table) *Note weight restrictions.
Step 3
Your new versitile end table is ready for use. Slide the table top into position or leave in the down position.
(Remember when removing your end table pull out from the bottom so that the top of the side table is never angled away from your furniture.)
Requirements
The furniture that you would like to attach the Tuc-Away Table to, must measure at least 1.5 inch and at most 10 inch from the floor to the base.
