This adorable plush toy is super soft, lovable, hugable and so much fun! When you "tickle" it's toes, it lets out an adorable laugh! There are no hard pieces or pieces that can become easily detached from the Tickle Toes Monkey which makes it very safe for little ones.

I am an Official Nuby Mommy Blogger (Mom-To-Be)!


Today is the official launch of the Nuby Mommy Blogger program! I am very happy to say that I was one of the LUCKY mommy's-to-be to be selected to work one on one with Nuby.

Over the next several months, I will be giving updates about my pregnancy, the arrival of our sweet baby boy and the fun moments and milestones that we experiance as first time parents! I will also be getting to use great Nuby products and I will be able to share my thoughts and experience with these items.

As a Nuby Mommy Blogger, I will be volunteering my time at various events/organizations every so often and will be sharing the fun with all of you along the way!

 
I have been working with the ladies of the Nuby Social Media Team for several weeks now to get everything  ready for the big launch. I cannot praise them enough for how great of a team they are! They are truly some of the most down-to-earth people I have ever met and I continue to be impressed by how great of a company Nuby is! I am very excited to be working with them and hope that you enjoy reading my posts over the next several months!
Our little "Fur Baby" (Rambo) thinks that all of the new baby gear/baby's room is his...
He has a big surprise in store!

I am 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant! Our little guy could be here any day now!
It's an overwhelming feeling to think that I'll be holding him in my arms any time now. I can't wait to hear his first cries and to see what he looks like and to watch him grow every day! I've been very blessed with an easy pregnancy and have enjoyed it thoroughly but can't wait for his big arrival! I have a doctors appointment today.
Wish me luck!


a moment in my tummy...
a LIFETIME in my heart!

Belly Bumps & Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Belly Banter Stickers Review & Giveaway!

Taking weekly photos of your baby bump is so much fun and Belly Banter helps to make it even more fun! Belly Banter is a “fun, fashionable, yet affordable option for announcing and making statements about pregnancy and tracking the growth of a baby.” They are 4″ stickers that you just peel and stick on your belly. It adds flare to any photo! Each package contains 15 high quality stickers. I noticed that even after using the stickers, I could place them back on the wax type paper for re-use because they kept their stickiness!


These stickers would make an amazing gift for any mom-to-be! They make for great photo announcements or scrap booking opportunities! Not only do they carry stickers for that adorable bump of yours, but they carry stickers for each month (1-12months) of your child's life! I LOVE this idea and can't wait to utilize these awesome stickers. A ton of people have asked me where I found these adorable stickers and I have heard nothing but compliments on them! They are incredibly easy to use. All you have to do use peel, apply and snap a great photo! This is a great way to share fun milestones with friends and family through email or social media sites as well!

 

These stickers can be purchased here! for only $14.99

Belly Bumps & Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Baby K'tan Carrier Review!

A Wrap without all the wrapping...

The Baby K'tan baby carrier is a super soft cotton carrier that is uniquely designed compared to other soft cotton carriers. It can be warn in all of the same convenient positions as a wrap, without the hassle of wrapping! It also has no uncomfortable metal or plastic parts.  It consists of 3 pieces of fabric that form a figure 8 and a separate sash. The figure 8 design creates a duel sling and provides great back and shoulder support. It is available in your choice of several different colors in either 100% natural or organic cotton or the breeze version (mesh).  All of which are washer and dryer safe.

I love that this baby carrier grows with your baby!

about the baby k'tan baby carrier
We received the Black Organic Baby K'tan baby carrier and couldn't be happier. I loved the idea of the Moby Wrap Carrier that I see many people using but it is such a hassle learning how to put it on. I began searching for other alternatives and came across the Baby K'tan. The carrier came with easy to read directions for use and within minutes we were able to put the carrier to use. I can't say it enough how easy this is to use especially compared to the Moby Wrap. The wide duel shoulder straps perfectly disperses baby's weight which makes this wrap very comfortable.

The Baby K'tan is extremely versatile. It can be used in 9 carrying positions, for children from birth all the way up to 42 pounds! This baby carrier provides an extra close hold that is very supportive of baby. I love that you can pack baby around hands-free and get my everyday tasks done in the process.

The Baby K’tan is easily stored. The sling has a built in pocket and the wrap folds up and nicely fits in the pocket. The carrier easily fits in the diaper bag or my purse which makes it great for on the go.

The only downfall I can find with the Baby K'tan Carrier, is the lack of being able to adjust the size (since there is no wrapping, buckles etc). I ordered the small carrier to fit me and it does not work for my husband to use. This isn't a huge ordeal beacause my husband would prefer to use more of a backpack style carrier. Also, compared to wrap style carriers, you can not get as custom as a fit. For me, I would take the convience of not having to mess with wrapping over the other fit any day!
BLACK ORGANIC
Baby K’tan is a fantastic company and they really take pride in creating their awesome product. They only use all natural cotton, in an effort to minimize their environmental impact.  Baby K’tan also gives back by allocating a percentage of the proceeds from every sale to the American Heart Association and to help fund Down Syndrome research, advocacy and awareness programs.

The Baby K'tan can be purchased here for $60-$70!
It can also be personalized!
