Pampers #SwaddlersFirsts Giveaway

Website - Twitter - Facebook

Celebrating Firsts. There have been so many along the way for us. And I am excited to have the experience to share a child of mine's firsts all over again. Here's a picture of one of SweetPea's very first "firsts", seeing Santa. Can you believe this was almost three years ago? Where does the time go with little ones.

First Time seeing Santa

I love Pampers swaddlers when SweetPea was a newborn because they are Pampers softest diaper ever. And I am so excited that Swaddlers are now available through size 5! Which means, this baby can stay in my favorite diaper throughout their diapering years.

From your baby’s first smile to their first step, Swaddlers can now be there for many more firsts to come! To celebrate Swaddlers sizes 4 & 5, Pampers has 30 days of incredible giveaways and a grand prize of FREE Swaddlers diapers & wipes for a year. Join the celebration and enter our 30 days of sweeps on the Pampers Facebook page, where you can win daily prize bundles, plus the grand prize of free Swaddlers diapers & wipes for one year!

Christmas? WW #54 + LINKY

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

I know that it's still November and we have Thanksgiving AND my daughter's birthday before Christmas, but I am so excited for it this year! They have already put up lights in our local square and SweetPea has been so cute enjoying them. She found this Santa hat and has been wearing it around EVERYWHERE, even to Kroger. My mother-in-law got her an Elf on the Shelf and we named her Annie. She loves her. We haven't been very created with ideas yet, but my husband is excited for the fun we can have.
Are you excited for the upcoming holidays?

More Noise With Two? {Dohmie by Marpac #SeriousSleep Baby Bundle Review}

This is a compensated post sponsored by Marpac. I was provided this opportunity through the Mom It Forward Blogging Network.

Dohmie by Marpac

Website – Facebook – Twitter – Pinterest

I am going to be the mother of two children. TWO! Wow, and time just seems to be flying by. I can't even imagine the noise that is going to take over this house. That's why I was excited when we received the Dohmie by Marpac Serious Sleep Baby Bundle to review.

Dohmie by Marpac #SeriousSleep Review

Every new mom deserves some sleep and the Dohmie by Marpac Sound Machine can seriously help with that. Sweet Pea loves the sleep machine. She asks for it every night and it helps her go straight to sleep with no question asked, even in the middle of the day with my lawn people working on my yard. And I love hearing it through the baby monitor. It helps me go to sleep soundly as well. And being 22 weeks pregnant, I need all the sleep I can manage to get in between kicks and punches from this little one. When this little one gets here, I feel confident that getting the baby to sleep even while vacuuming or when her older rambunctious toddler sister is running around making noise.

Dohmie by Marpac #SeriousSleep Review

The Dohm creates a natural white noise to help babies fall and stay asleep, allowing the rest of the family to seep easier or carry on with normal household activities. The Dohm’s sound is seamless and continuous because it uses electromechanical technology to create the natural sound of rushing air, unlike other white noise machines that work on a digital loop and cut off after a set period of time. The Dohm is lightweight, easy-to-use and can travel with you where you go. I love that it plugs into the wall and doesn't rely on batteries like so many other sleep machines. The sound it produces reminds me of the mimicked sound of the womb, which babies are very fond of. It's easy to change the volume of the sound as well. The Dohmie by Marpac Serious Sleep Baby Bundle comes with the sleep machine and a book that my daughter enjoyed as well. My daughter who is very sensitive to loud noises, especially the vacuum cleaner, LOVES falling asleep to this machine at the age of THREE.

I am still nervous about having two little ones. But I think if this little machine can get my rambunctious toddler to sleep easier, then I know we will be okay. If I can just get one of them to sleep through the night, then we will doing just fine.

What do you think of the Dohmie by Marpac Serious Sleep Baby Bundle? Did you ever use white noise for your little ones to sleep easier?

Citrus Lane October Box Review #cloctbox

Monday, November 18, 2013

I received the following product complimentary in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Citrus Lane sends you curated baby and child items each month directly to your door. The items can include food items, toiletries, toys, and sometimes something special for mom! I received the October 34 month box to review. This box celebrated Movember and Breast Cancer Awareness, so it came with pink mustaches on the box that you could punch out and play with. Very cute idea for great causes.

Here is what the October 34 month box included:

Citrus Lane October Box Review

I'm going to be honest, I was a little disappointed with the box this month. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the one I bought for half off earlier this year. But we did love the Cloud B Twinkles To Go Octo Nightlight*. SweetPea is enamored by it. She keeps asking to sleep with it. I love how much she loves it and it honestly made the box worth it. She did love the Good Boy Organics BOPS sea salt crisps*. I tried one myself and they were super yummy. The other AWESOME thing that came in the box was a LadyBug Magazine + a subscription. Does anyone remember this from their childhood? My mom bought one for us and they are jammed packed with tons of activities and stories! SweetPea also liked the Hohner Kids Rhythm Sticks*. I remember playing with them in music class in elementary school, but don't know if I care for them as an adult as they are a bit noisy. Just kidding.

All in all, I enjoyed our box this month and I'm hoping to start my own subscription soon. If you'd like, you can sign up through my referral link and use code ESCALATE to get $20 off your first box! This box had a retail value of over $59, so for only $9 that's an AWESOME deal! :D A one month subscription is $29, but if you subscribe for multiple months you get a discount the more months you buy. So you could get your first box for as low as $1 if you get a 6-month subscription!

What do you think of Citrus Lane? What did you think of this box?

Holiday Gift Ideas for the Kiddos #MyKindOfHoliday

Sunday, November 17, 2013

It's that time of year again! Are you making your list and checking it twice? I am going Black Friday shopping solo this year and you know Target is definitely one of my go to stops. I have some ideas of what to get the kiddos in my life, thanks to Target. How about you? Are you an out-of-the-loop aunt, uncle, or grandparent and have no idea what to get the littles in your life? Well I have made a cheat sheet just for you!

1. Board games or get up games like this Chasin' Cheeky Game. SweetPea has this game and it so much fun to watch her and her friend B run around chasing after him trying to put the rings on his tail.

2. How cute would this car be? My daughter has so much fun with these little cars now that she is old enough to push herself around the room. And with Minnie? What 3-year old little girl isn't a huge Mickey/Minnie Mouse fan?!

3. We are huge Disney Princess fans in this house, especially of Rapunzel. And music is so essential to a child's development. This little guitar would be perfect for any little budding star.

4. My niece would fall head over heels in love with this Barbie House! Could you imagine walking in the door with this? You would definitely be the cool aunt/uncle. ;)

5. This hoop is great because it encourages the kiddos to get off the couch and exercise! What a fun hoop! We had one of these growing up and they last FOREVER!

Don't forget to check out the full

What are you getting your little ones for Christmas? Share and let the clueless relatives out! :)
