Nanny to Mommy

I recently received the Flipeez Kitty to review. I was excited about this because I was already planning on buying a new hat for my daughter for Christmas. And I think the Flipeez line makes a GREAT stocking stuffer gift!



Flipeez are the fun, fanciful, animal action-hats that let kids of all ages “flip their lid”! You just squeeze the handle (my daughter has issues sometimes because her hands are so small) and the kitty's tail flips up!
They are available in 4 precocious and colorful styles – the Kitty (featured above), Monster, Monkey, and Puppy – each has its own distinct “action”. Arms open or tails wag with a simple squeeze of the puff-ball in the tassel.



My daughter always gets asked where we bought our hat everywhere we go. Although I have to disclose that I received it as part of a campaign, I tell them that I have seen them sold at Walmart, CVS, Kroger, and Amazon. Retail is around $20. Her cousins all love "Flipping her Lid" everywhere we go. :)



Flipeez boast a super soft inner fleece lining and knit outer hat that allows one-size-fits-all flexibility. I was originally going to give this to my niece because their slogan is "Whether you are 4 or 104, this functional fashion accessory is guaranteed to bring lots of smiles to everyone!" But it fits my daughter's 3 year old head. I have also tried the hat on, so it at least fits an almost 28 year old's head as well! :D

I received the above product to provide this review. I received no additional compensation. All opinions are my own.

On our journey to get our daughter to ditch the diapers, we discovered that potty training during the Holidays can be a little rough. With the chaos of running to one event after another and getting everything together with shopping and baking, it can get a little off schedule which can throw your little one off their potty training routine and could make them regress.

Here are some of my tips for not letting Holiday Stress distract from your Potty Training Success:

1. Set a timer on your phone or use Pull-Ups® FREE timer that can be found on their website. Keeping a schedule in the midst of the chaos can help with those early days of potty training.

2. Show your child the potty when you go to a place they have never been before. Some children have trouble going potty when the environment has changed. There is too much to look at it. That's why when I'm out in public, even if I don't think my daughter has to go but she asks to go potty, we make a trip to explore the restroom. It can be time consuming, but it makes her more comfortable and she usually ends up going as well.

3. Take your child with you every time you need to go. Don't make it a struggle though. Sometimes children need to see that's it okay to go other places as well and seeing their number one role model go potty in a strange place can make it easier for them to adjust to any fears they might have.

4. Ask your child to go potty often. It can be hard to remember with all the excitement going on. But show your child that just because they take a break to go potty doesn't mean play time is over.

5. Bring along the Pull-Ups®! Pull-Ups® training pants are gender/size specific and there are a variety of products to match children’s various learning styles such as Pull-Ups® Training Pants with Cool Alert®, Learning Designs®, and Pull-Ups® Night*Time Training Pants.

You can also make sure to keep the celebration everywhere by downloading the new Big Kid® App on your mobile device (available on specially marked packages of Pull-Ups®).

We have never had a real Christmas tree. My husband did when he was younger, but I don't really remember ever having one. So we decided that if my husband promised to water it, then we would get a real tree this year. It was fun cutting it down.



Also Here's this. I know it's not Wordless, but thought I'd share. :)

When I was asked to review one of Matilda Jane Clothing's outfits for my daughter, I actually was kind of unsure. I know these flowing outfits are very stylish these days, but I just didn't know how to feel about them. BUT after seeing the cuteness of the Paint-by-Numbers series on my daughter, I fell in love. The packaging was super adorable and I love the fabric, it isn't heavy but soft.
