Nursing Cover

My sister just had her first baby 3 weeks ago and decided she definitely wanted to breastfeed. She's sort of a shy person though, and everyone knows how often newborns like/need to eat....so she was kind of in a pickle. She wanted to nurse, but was nervous. I ended up being able to purchase this nursing cover (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B014DS6E4K/ref=twister_B014DPVK24?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) through Tomoson for a discounted price. I gave it to her and she was so thankful! She used it immediately. She loves the colors and it's also really nicely sized, so every bit is covered. The fabric is sturdy and of nice quality, but not too thick and is light enough where my sister and my niece are comfortable under it. The neck strap is great as well so my sister can use both hands to support and help her baby without having to worry about keeping the cover up and in place. It can fold up nicely for travel and storage as well.

Calming Ocean Waves CD

I always have a hard time falling asleep at night due to some medication that I take, so I decided to try some calming music to see if it would help.

 I received this CD (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01709Q1NI) for a discounted price and am glad I did! On the second day of playing this to fall asleep, I think I fell asleep the fastest I ever had. It's so soothing and relaxing, and my mind was able to wander and slow down and just be at rest. The quality of sound is amazing and I couldn't be more eager to recommend this to anyone I know who has similar sleep issues to mine. This may also be really nice to soothe a fussy baby.


 The CD is a single "song" of 60 minutes, with continuous ocean noises. The ocean waves are soft, calming, and soothing. There are no other background noises (like boats or birds or big, scary waves), so it's easy to get lost in the noise and fully relax.

 I put this in my CD player right before bed and fell asleep with it on. I am so glad I have this, and I'll definitely listen to it even when I'm not trying to fall asleep! #OceanCD

Sport-It Yoga Leggings

I'll be the first to admit that I am a lover of leggings. I don't care if people think they're not pants..I would wear them every day if I could. They're comfy and cute and make me look thinner. What else could a lady want? I was recently approved via Tomoson to purchase and review some yoga leggings from Go Sport-It Co. (You can find them here:http://superurl7.com/945647ed3a4a521). When I first got them, they looked a little small so I was a bit nervous that they wouldn't fit. However, they are now my favorite leggings. They fit PERFECTLY. In fact, I'm wearing them now and dreading when I have to take them off. They're THAt comfortable. They slid right on and up over my hips (my biggest problem area) and are comfy. They stay up and fit snuggly. The fabric is like a stretchy, silky material but thick! When I put them on the first time, I just kept sliding my hands up and down my legs because the fabric is so soft and smooth (I love it if you can't tell). I ordered a large and I definitely think they fit true to size. I'm 5'2" and weigh about 160 so I'm kinda chubby. They fit nicely except they're a little long, but everything I own tends to be long since I'm so short. Here are some photos of me wearing them:

Also- I forgot to mention- THEY HAVE POCKETS IN THE WAIST BAND. Seriously. How awesome/perfect/totally cool is that? They're the perfect size for your keys, a phone, or maybe even some cash or a credit card. And they have a little fabric on the top too so nothing will fall out! (see 2nd photo for pockets). As you can see from the 1st and 3rd photo, I don't even really have a muffin top! Which I get sometimes while wearing leggings. The wide waist band definitely prevents them all together(or at least major noticeable ones). 

Honestly, I love these. I don't think I'll ever take them off.....

Cotton Pacifier Clips from Stuff4Tots

I've been meaning to make my own pacifier clips for my niece since I found out my sister was pregnant, but with school and 3 jobs and everything else that's been going on, I just never had the chance. When I was offered to try these in exchange for my review(http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017ULLNAM), I jumped at the opportunity. Here's what I love the most about them:
1.) The patterns. Seriously they're adorable!

2.) They're easy to clip on! Check out the pic below to see how firmly it clips!

3.) They're handmade! It's so rare and hard to find items that are truly handmade anymore..which makes these that much more special and high quality!

4.) They're easy to clip! I could do it one handed without any issue, and they come unclipped just as easy!

5.) The pacifier slips in the loop with minimal effort as well, and stays put!

Overall, I'm super pleased with these and can't wait to use them with my niece! The only problem is deciding which one to use first.... :p

The BEST Baby Sling Carrier

Recently, I was approved to review the Baby Sling Carrier by CoziTot for free via Tomoson!

(http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015HO0OFO). My sister just had a baby last week(she's 9 days old today!) and I've been looking for a carrier to keep at my house, as I'll be watching her everyday when my sister goes back to work. I received the sling in the mail today and my first impression is "Wow!". Not only is it a really comfy material, but the embroidery is SO pretty and could easily work for a baby boy or a baby girl (I know some parents are weird when it comes to putting their babies in patterns typically reserved for the opposite gender) but that won't be a concern with this sling carrier!

Also, the sling comes with instructions for carrying both in front and back, which is extremely helpful. I wouldn't have known how to put it on without the pictures! Since I don't have my niece with me currently (I'm going to visit her Thursday and will try to wear it with her then), I practiced with a stuffed bear :p and I figured it out! It was comfortable and easy to put on by yourself. 

The carrier itself is great for the fact that you can use it with varying size/age babies, meaning you don't have to go out and buy a new one when your itty bitty baby becomes a growing toddler! The adjustable straps make it easy to expand the carrier as your baby grows. Additionally, it means your dh can use it too (no more excuses, guys!)

Overall, I'm very pleased with this carrier and can't wait to babywear little Madeline!
