Tiny Love Sweet Island Dreams Mobile

Happy Monday everyone!  Today I want to share with my daughter favorite toy when she was an infant from one of my favorite places to shop - Tiny Love.  If I could I would give this a mobile a 10 stars!  We placed this mobile in our baby's crib when was was about 2 months old.  She couldn't take her eyes off the color and distinct animals.  She's currently almost 14 months and she still loves it. 
This mobile is the perfect attention grabber for a baby.  The music is very soothing and play flawlessly.   The motion of the animals move around and up and down in a peculiar and interesting way attracting the attention of a baby.   It comes with a remote control so you can control it without actually going into the room.  If you are a mommy to be, I'd highly recommend this product for your baby.  You won't regret the purchase.  Thank you so much for reading.

Snacks for the Road - Gerber Graduates Puffs

My daughter could eat these all the time.  They are easy to clean up as they aren't messy or crumbly.  They are also healthy than some of the other cereal out there.  These puffs are great for little ones learning to eat with their fingers. They are easier to eat than Cheerios for little ones, but they are definitely sweeter. I would recommend switching back to Cheerios as your little one grasps gumming her food. Another note- they go stale very quickly in any other container but it's own. Much more quickly than Cheerios. That being said, these are GREAT to keep in your purse as a tide over until dinner arrives when out to eat.  This is by far my toddler daughter favorite snack item. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, thanks for reading.

VTech Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker

We got this V Tech walker as a gift from my family when my daughter was about 9 months. My daughter loves playing with this walker and she never gets bored with it.  She pushes this walker all over the house day and night.  Her favorite part is playing with the phone piece and putting up to her ears and says hello. (Pretending she's talking to me.)  There are many different shapes, bright colors, and cool sounds/music which are perfect stimulus her young minds and small hands.  The play board comes off so she can sit on the floor with it and play.  This walker is sturdy and it is exactly as it says a sit and stand learning walker.  All in all this walker has been instrumental in helping my daughter to walk.  I'd highly recommend it to everyone.  This one is perfect. If you are in the market for an educational and instrumental toy for your toddler, this is a good choice.  Have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for reading.

Simple Wishes Hands-Free Pumping Bra

My friend who is a nurse introduce me to this gadget when I first started pumping a year ago.  This item is a complete life saver and I cannot live without it.  I spent at least three times a day pumping and while pumping I'm able to reply to email, check my phone, or drink a cup of water.  This is one of those things that i didn't know I need it until I use it.

Whoever design this bra did a perfect job.  Whatever size/shape you are, this bra will fit! You can adjust the circumference of the bra not only with the zipper inset in the front, but also with the velcro strips at the back (which are so sturdy and never pull off on their own). So because the back of it is all velcro, you can adjust the bra by I'd say 5-7 inches narrower or wider depending on your preference. I've fluctuated a lot since buying this bra, and I can adjust it as I need to. I started at about a 36C postpartum, and now I'm about my old size which is a 32 or 34B. I got the S/M size and it fits perfect. I'm normally in clothes, a size 2 (at my smallest) - 8 (at my largest), and this bra has changed with me and has always been comfortable. The material is a microfiber, so it's really soft and not itchy at all.

Bottom line, If I could only pick a few products to recommend to new moms, this is one of them. If you are a nursing mom who will be using a breast pump, you will not regret having this. I use it everyday, and can't imagine not having it. Allows you to be hands-free while pumping. Good luck and thank you so much for reading.

Birch Aquarium

My husband and I brought our 11 months old daughter to Birch Aquarium in San Diego, California for a mini road trip.  My daughter really enjoy the time there.  To say the least she was enthralled.  She got to explore and see all the awesome fishes, eels, sharks, crabs, seahorses. The beautiful view off the La Jolla beach, so relaxing and peaceful.  Even my husband enjoy the visit there too.

The great and clean exhibit where the aquarium tanks are display is amazing! I love knowing that I will be able to walk through the walkways and not have trash hit in the leg or a park map whisk right by me because it fell out of someones back pocket. The staff here had great manners and it honestly does really show.  The tide pool plaza here offers such an amazing view of the La Jolla beach.  The educators at the tide pools are all so friendly and nice and also offer a great number of knowledgeable facts to share. You can also reach in and touch some of the animals inside the water as well! This is an excellent place for kids of all ages.  We witnessed shear delight from toddlers to teens and adults enjoying the many different ocean animals.  Like everywhere else, admission has gone up but in comparison to other places in and around San Diego, $17 for adults and &12.50 for kid. I hope you take some time off your busy day to visit this lovely place. Thank you so much for reading!
