Pink Eye, a Pharmacy Visit, & a $50 Target e-Gift Card Giveaway

Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Target. All opinions are my own.

SweetPea has come down with a case of what we think is Pink Eye. YUCK! She says it doesn't hurt and it wasn't very crusty when she woke up, but it was really red. We went swimming at my in-laws on Saturday for a family reunion and they put some kind of bleaching agent into the pool a week earlier to remove some staining. But no one else had irritated eyes or even mentioned anything about it. We are taking her to the doctor and if they give us eye drops (which they more than likely will), I think I'm going to check out my local Target Pharmacy.
 
Pink eye? You tell me. Either way, she seems pretty happy about it.
 
I mentioned back in April how I was on the fence about switching over my prescriptions to Target. BUT WHY? Did you know about Target Pharmacy Rewards? Like if you fill five prescriptions you can get 5% off a day of shopping. You can earn rewards faster by filling pet prescriptions or getting vaccinations such as the flu shot. And add all family members to one account!

Introducing the HALO™ Bassinest™ Swivel Sleeper + a HALO™ SleepSack® Giveaway!

HALO™ is excited to announce the launch of its brand new baby bassinet product - the Bassinest™ Swivel Sleeper. With its unique dual-swivel design, the Bassinest™ is the only bassinet that moves to bring baby to mom. It allows baby to sleep as close as Mom wants – even right next to her in bed – so baby can sleep close AND safe.
 


Unlike some co-sleeping products on the market that do not address the safety concerns of bed-sharing, the Bassinest™ Swivel Sleeper is the first bassinet product to provide both convenience and safety. Baby sleeps in his/her own separate sleep area, reducing the risks associated with bed-sharing. Mom can easily get in and out of bed, as well as tend to baby without having to get up.

Need Parenting Advice? Introducing SmartMom!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of SmartMom.


Everyone needs a little parenting advice every now and then. It's okay to admit it. I know I do. When my daughter was a baby we struggled with breastfeeding so much. And I had NO physical support around me. I didn't know where to turn to and although we managed to make it to 14 months, it was a LONG battle. But why? Because I didn't have an access to easy support like SmartMom. Parenting has been easier this time around because now there's an app where advice is available 24/7, right from your smart phone.

Tips for the Perfect Night Time Routine {Introducing The Fresh Air Crib Liner™ by SootheTime & Giveaway!}

I am participating in this campaign as a member of The Niche Parent Network & Conference. Although I received compensation and product, all opinions are my own.

I am a firm believer in a night time routine. It helps little ones adjust from day to night, they know what to expect, and helps them wind down for the day. Setting up the perfect routine for your family takes some time and adjustment as each child and their needs are different. This is what works for my family, but it may be different for yours.

Picture by DawnBlackPhotography.com

1. Establish a bed TIME. SweetPea's bed time has always been around 8:30 p.m. But Peanut needs to go down a little earlier or he gets super grumpy. He is usually very go with the flow, but he has a better night if he goes down to sleep about 8 p.m. Then he will wake up at 10 p.m. to nurse again and then he's down for the night.

2. Set Up a Routine. Bath, Nurse, Book, Rock, Bed. That's ours. We don't do bath every night, but he has some kind of "cleaning", whether it's a sponge bath or a nice lotion massage. Then I make sure he gets a full belly, but not right before he lays down and always make sure he burps. We usually read a book with his big sister, then I rock him where he is in that happy in between state of completely asleep and awake so he can soothe himself to sleep. Providing a routine is wonderful because if you will have to put your baby to bed later than they are use to, they have learned what to expect next.

3. Safe, Cozy Bed. Now that he is in his crib, I make sure his bed is cool, but not cold. Cozy, but breathable. Creating a safe space and comfortable for my baby to sleep has been easier with the Fresh Air Crib Liner ™ by SootheTIME.

Preparing for a Mobile Infant with Hot Shot® Insecticides

Tracking Pixel This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hot Shot® Insecticides.
 
Peanut has been more mobile lately. He has been rolling over since July 21st. Hubby was bummed because he had been on vacation the week before and worked so hard with him, but then missed it. I kind of wish I hadn't told him. But ever since Peanut has been a rolley-poley machine.


Peanut has also really been enjoying jumping in his jumperoo. With a crawling infant getting closer and closer, the last thing I want in my home are bugs. Who wants bugs feeling at home? Especially with little ones around?

Reading to Your Baby with DK Books

I received a complimentary Toddler Book Pack from DK Publishing for the purposes of review. All opinions are mine.
 
 Reading to your baby/toddler is very important. Hearing your voice and saying different words is how they learn to talk. It is also very beneficial for them socially. And what you read to your little one is very important as well. DK is a best-selling and award-winning children’s publisher with a crop of titles for babies and toddlers. DK books for early learners are perfect for children ages 0 to 3 and help provide a fun, hands-on playtime experience for babies and toddlers. DK books contain bright pictures, easy-to-read text, novelty features and more to excite and engage little ones. So when I received the opportunity to review a few titles from DK Publishing, I was very excited to share them with my 5 month old and 3 year old.

The Crazy Parents That Climbed a Mountain

Sunday, we were those parents. We climbed Stone Mountain with an almost 5 month old and a 3 1/2 year old. It was VERY hard and we have decided it is our first weightloss goal. To make it to the top without so many breaks. LOL
 
 
 
It was Peanut's first time there and SweetPea's first time climbing the mountain. It was me and Hubby's first time in YEARS. The last time I attempted to climb it, my sister, brother, & I thought we could carry my niece & nephew with a stroller to the top. HA! We didn't even make it halfway.
 
 
 
SweetPea took maybe a 15 minute nap in the car beforehand. There was one part that was super slippery. Hubby and I kept rotating the over 15 lb pound weight known as Peanut. But we stayed for the laser show after riding the tram to the top. So fun memories were had by all! We bought a year pass because we plan on going back and dominating it again! :D

Just Pretend Kids Review {#SummerSweeping Giveaway Hop, Ends 8/15}


My daughter LOVES playing pretend, dressing up, and all thing make believe. So when I received the opportunity to review a tutu and wings set from Just Pretend Kids, I jumped all over it.

 

I let my daughter decide which one she would like. She chose the Turquoise Tutu from the Nina Collection and Turquoise & Purple Flutter Wings to match. And I'm fairly certain I know why. She loves the movies Frozen and The Pirate Fairy. Elsa wears a blue dress and the blue pixie dust is the key in The Pirate Fairy.
