10 Ways to Reduce the Risk of S.I.D.S.

As a mom, I’ve always tried to strike that impossible balance between keeping my child warm and safe at night. When Sweet Pea was a baby, she’d wiggle right out of her swaddle or kick the blanket off entirely, leaving me up every few hours worrying if she was too cold—or worse, if there was a loose blanket in her crib that could pose a risk.
 

10 Ways to Reduce the Risk of S.I.D.S.


That’s why I was so relieved when I discovered the HALO SleepSack® wearable blanket. It felt like a game-changer in our home, and now it’s one of those baby items I recommend to every new parent. HALO’s wearable blankets have become a standard in safe infant sleep—so much so that over 1,000 hospital nurseries across the country use them through the HALO Safer Way to Sleep® Initiative. Instead of traditional blankets, hospitals are swaddling newborns in SleepSacks from day one.

But the best part? HALO didn’t stop at infancy.

Calorease Weight Loss Management Review

I accepted to review Calorease before I found out I was pregnant. I love being a blogger and having a family lifestyle blog. This way I can share my husband's experience with Calorease, a weight loss management pill, with all of you. My husband has very busy lifestyle where he is always on the go and eating fatty meals. I try to provide healthier meals for him when he is home, but the reality is he works although he didn't loss a large amount of weight, 60+ hours every week. When he remembered to take Calorease before he ate, he didn't feel jittery which ones of his main concerns and why he was so nervous about taking it. He decided to have a turkey sandwich one day and took Calorease and I'm assuming he didn't eat enough fat that day, because he was very bloated, which Calorease notes as one of the side effects. I am excited to try Calorease for myself in order to lose the inevitable post-pregnancy weight. Below are some more specs on this awesome product, that doesn't claim to be a miracle weightloss drug, which I love.

Calorease Weightloss Management Pill Review

Just the facts:

- It's easy to use Calorease. Simply take two tablets with a fat-containing meal three times a day. But stay consistent for the best results.
- If taken as recommended, results can be seen in about 2-3 weeks. Keep in mind that Calorease is not a license to overeat, nor is it a magic bullet for quick weight loss.
- There is no program or special diet involved with taking Calorease. A reasonable, balanced and nutritious fat-containing diet is recommended. Click here for sample meal plans.
- Calorease does not contain gluten, lactose, yeast, wheat, sugar, salt, egg, soy, dairy, artificial colors, sweeteners or preservatives. It is naturally sourced from grain and is suitable for vegans.
- A convenient blister pouch provides 1 serving (2 tablets) so it's easy to take on the go. A 90-tablet pack of Calorease retails for $29.99

Did you know?

It's understood that fiber can bind with dietary fat and prevent fat from being digested. But since most fibers bind fat at a 1:1 ratio, you would have to consume unrealistic amounts of ordinary fiber to gain any benefit--until now. The unique, pantented fiber in Calorease (FBCx) binds up to 9 times its weight in dietary fat, reducing up to 15,000 calories per month from a normal diet.

You can order your own Calorease, and as a special promotion for my readers, Calorease is offering up their 90-tablet pack for only $14.99! Here's how you can order, just visit calorease.com/buy and enter code 4MOMS.

October is Fair Trade Month

As some of you may know, I am a Bzz Agent. Sometimes I receive free products in exchange to share information on my blog with all of you. But I am still very selective about what I share on my blog, because I have to feel passionate about the products or cause.

Green Mountain Coffee Fair Trade Certified

I was recently selected to participate in the Green Mountain Coffee® Fair Trade Certified™ Campaign. Not only was I a part of this campaign last year and was so excited to be included in it again since I learned the importance of fair trade, I have tried to share the importance of fair trade on my blog.

Most of the time, your coffee is the thing that just helps you power through your day, making it easy to overlook. But take a moment to reflect on the impact it can have beyond your next deadline or early morning errand. Fair Trade means a great cup of coffee for you and a better quality of life for farmers. By purchasing Fair Trade Certified™ Green Mountain Coffee® brand, you help coffee farmers receive a fair price for their beans, which means a great cup of coffee and a better quality of life in coffee-farming communities.

You might have noticed some of my updates on Facebook about October being Fair Trade Month. And in celebration of Fair Trade Month, Green Mountain Coffee® is introducing Fair Trade Certified™ Three Continent Blend, which combines the flavors and aromas of three continents in one harmonious Extra Bold blend. The only thing that might be richer than the benefits of purchasing Fair Trade coffee are the flavors. As the largest purchaser of Fair Trade Certified™ coffee, Green Mountain Roasters, Inc. (the parent company of Green Mountain Coffee®) knows that quality is second to none. That’s why they offer a wide selection of Fair Trade coffees, including brand-new Three Continent Blend, which combines the flavors and aromas of South America, Africa, and Asia into one harmonious Extra Bold Blend.

Please feel free to drop by ChooseFairTrade.org and let me know why Fair Trade might be important to you.

Adjusting to Vacation {Nuby™ Travel Set Review}

I am a Nuby Mommy Blogger. I did not receive any compensation for this post, although as part of this program I may receive items to sample or review. As always, all opinions expressed about the products mentioned here are my own.

When we are on vacation it is always a different experience every year we go. SweetPea is able to cope differently each time. But one thing is for certain, we have to bring some amenities from home so we can help her adjust. That's why I was happy to receive the Nuby™ Travel Spoon & Fork Set to review.

Nuby Travel Fork & Spoon Set Review

The Nûby™ Travel Set is designed to keep your little one’s utensils and your diaper bag clean, tidy and hygienic whilst out and about. The handy travel case comes with an easy to use spoon and fork set and is perfect for mom and baby on the go.

Nuby Travel Set on Vacation

This little set came in very handy our recent trip to Florida since the condo we stayed in didn't have any kid friendly utensils, not even little forks or spoons. PLUS the silver ware was super heavy. One day I wanted SweetPea to have lunch on the beach and I wanted her to have yogurt, it was wonderful knowing that her spoon wouldn't get sand all over it and when I put it back in my bag, yogurt wouldn't get everywhere.

The Nuby Travel set is available for purchase at Buy Baby Direct & Amazon. Also don't forget to connect with Nuby on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, &/or Instagram for some great giveaways!
