Coffee Cup Creations Review and Giveaway!

Coffee Cup Creations offers a very unique gift giving idea. They offer a variety of coffee cups that come with a delicious treat. When purchasing a cup you get to pick from a variety of mixes that give the person receiving the mug a wonderful mix for a yummy dessert. Their delicious mixes include magic mocha pudding, pumpkin bread, chocolate chip cake and more.

Coffee Cup Creations gave me the opportunity to review the Earthy Stripes Cup with the magic mocha pudding. The pudding was easy and quick to make. All we had to do was add a few simple ingredients (milk, butter and vanilla) to the mix and heat over the stove. In a matter of minutes I was enjoying a warm pudding straight from my new cup.

I think this is a great and unique gift to send to someone. It's fun, delicious and leaves you with a useful cup in the end. Check out their selection of cups and yummy mixes.

Fabbys Review

How many of you have ever thrown a pair of flip flops in the car when you go to a wedding? Or brought a change of shoes to work with you just in case you couldn't make it through the day in your heels? I know I am guilty of both of these things. I love my heels and wear them whenever I can. However, I have noticed that my feet are just not the same as they used to be. They start to hurt faster and I am often looking to take my heels off and give my feet a rest.

If you can relate to any of this then you will love to learn about Fabbys. Fabbys are ballet flats that roll up so small that they can fit into a clutch. How perfect is this for the next wedding you attend? Or the next time you want to try your new heels at work without having to worry if you can't make it the whole day? The best part about Fabbys, besides the fact that they roll up so small, is that they look great. They are super cute and way better than ruining a dress with a pair of flip flops.

Fabbys are offered in three colors (Shameless Silver, Glamazon Gold and Be Jealous Black). A color for any outfit or occasion. These are a fabulous invention and I highly recommend you check them out!

Limited Edition - Patriotic Pillow Pets Giveaway!

A few weeks ago I shared with you an amazing campaign going on over at Pillow Pets. They are offering a special limited edition Patriotic Pup that will help raise funds for scholarships for military children. Check out my previous post for more information.

I was fortunate enough to receive one of these furry friends for review. I love the concept of pillow pets because they are multifunctional. They are stuffed friends who quickly and easily turn into a comfy pillow with the simple release of some Velcro. My daughter absolutely loves her Pillow Pet. She snuggles up with it and jumps on it. I am happy to have this type of stuffed animal in my home because I know it will be of use when traveling or going to sleepovers.

I am so happy to help spread the word about the Patriotic Pup. It's a wonderful cause and a wonderful product. You can also check out the huge variety of Pillow Pets here.

Good Nite Lite Review

Creating a good sleep pattern with young children is hard. And sometimes just when you think you're in a groove they send you for a loop. If anyone can tell me the secret to getting your child to sleep through the night every night I will be eternally grateful.

But since I don't think anyone has that secret I have something that may be of great interest to all the other parents who may struggle with a sleep schedule. I stumbled across a product called the Good Nite Lite. The Good Nite Lite is a patent pending, behavioral modification device designed to promote a child's ability to get the rest that is critical for healthy development.

Basically what this product does is provide a visual cue to your child. You set the timer for the length of time your child should sleep. During this time a dim moon is illuminated to signal to your child that it's night time. Then in the morning it  becomes a brighter sun.  This is a concept that even very young children can be taught. 

Good Nite Lite was kind enough to send me one of their products for review. I have found it to be easy to use and it illuminates very nicely. I like how it's not bright at night like a typical night light. I think this is an excellent cuing system for children.

MindsInSync: Aquatopia - Review

Bath time is one of my favorite times. My daughter loves the water and loves to splash around and have fun. She always squeals with delight! So making bath time a safe and enjoyable experience for both of us was really important. I began researching some products that I felt would make things a little easier. One of the companies that continued to catch my eye was MindsInSync, which makes the Aquatopia product line.

MindsInSync was awesome enough to send me several of their products for review. I received the Easy Kneeler, digital Thermometer and a Micro Dry bath mat.

I am absolutely thrilled with all three of these products! The digital thermometer is cute and fun while being completely practical and useful. It clearly displays the temperature and sounds a beeping alarm when the water is either too cold or too hot. My daughter loves to play with it, and I love knowing that the water is the appropriate temperature.

The Easy Kneeler has made a world of difference. When my daughter is in the tub I don't leave the side. I am on my knees from the beginning to the end, and since she loves to splash this could be awhile! The Easy Kneeler is very nicely padded on the knee area and has pockets to allow for easy access to anything you may need. This is convenient and comfy.

The Micro Dry bath mat is incredibly soft! I walked on it when it first arrived and it felt great under my toes. We are currently using this as a changing area after bath time. It's a soft, padded surface that quickly absorbs the water so she's not laying on anything wet. This has really been ideal, rather than using her diaper changing table which would remain damp for awhile.

I highly recommend these high quality products. You can find them at Babies R Us, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, BabyDepot.com and Buy Buy Baby.

Boon Review

Boon is a really fun company that makes modern looking baby products. They offer everything from bath toys to feeding utensils and high chairs. They offer fabulous designs in bright colors!

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to review the Groovy stay-put divider dish and the Fluid toddler cup. Both of these products are great and have been incredibly useful with my one year old daughter.

The Groovy dish has a connected plate and bowl along with two little dipper bowls that are removable and movable. So you can place these two little bowls anywhere around the plate or not one or both of them at all. The dipper bowls are great. They really are the perfect size for ketchup or bbq sauce. We used ours the other night when my daughter was having ravioli so that our daughter could dip them in some marinara sauce. The dish also has a grip on the bottom to keep it from sliding around.

The Fluid toddler cup is great! The design allows for your little one to get a really good grip either with one hand or two. It holds quite a bit of water and it has a slanted spout which makes it easier to use. My daughter loves it and uses it all by herself.

You can stay up to date with Boon by following their blog, "liking" them on Facebook and following on twitter.

Boon's products are fun and trendy while remaining totally affordable (the Fluid retails for about $5.99 and the Groovy retails at about $12.99). Boon products are also carried at many major retailers, including Babies R Us and Target. Check out their selection and learn about how they contribute 10% of their profits to children's charities.
