I was very excited when Livie & Luca said they were going to send me pair of their shoes to review.  I chose these Brown Elephants!  Aren’t they just so cute??!!  I love them, and they look even cuter on my little bug.  I am very impressed by the quality of these shoes, I can tell that they are going hold up very well and that is saying a lot with my crazy little daredevil wearing them!  They have a velcro closure which is perfect for putting them on and taking them off quickly.  Also, bug has really wide feet so the Velcro closure helps to make them fit him a little better.

I just love how many adorable shoes they have, it is so hard to choose just one pair!  Check them all out at www.livieandluca.com.

Things that are Brag Worthy:yhst-53052459012053_2094_628574

  • Made from soft breathable leather.
  • Made to be comfortable for your child.
  • Velcro closures make it easy to put shoes on take them off quickly.
  • Super flexible and lightweight sole helps with stability and coordination.
  • Velcro also helps to make the shoes fit your child’s feet better.
  • So many adorable styles to choose from.
  • Quality shoes that are made to last.
  • The perfect place to find online children’s shoes.

UpSpring Baby Walking Wings Review and Giveaway

UpSpring Baby Walking Wings Review and Giveaway

Walking Wings helps baby learn to walk balancing more naturally, hands-free, and experiencing fewer falls. This unique padded support vest easily fastens around the chest of the baby and has two adjustable, detachable straps with padded handles for your comfort. It's healthier for baby's shoulders (no tugging on little arms) and kinder to parent’s backs (no more bending over!). Pediatrician recommended for babies learning to walk.” (UpSpring Website)


ww_back I received the blue walking wings from UpSpring and couldn’t wait to try it out on my twin nieces! Even though they are only 7 months old, they are starting to be mobile. They both did so well using these!



I really wish I would have known about Walking Wings when Leah was learning to walk! Leah didn’t start walking until she was almost 15 months and these would have came in so handy.

The founders are inspired by how many unmet needs still exist in the childcare industry and how many great ideas other parents have to offer. UpSpring Baby™, has worked with designers, medical experts and testing laboratories, to ensure that our products meet the highest functionality, quality standards.” (UpSpring website)

The walking wings really help in teaching baby to walk. It not only helps with balance, but it also prevents them from falling as much and learning how to stand up straight! Just look at the before and after pictures!ww_beforeww_after

Laugh and Learn DVD set and Book Review and Giveaway

Laugh & Learn is a great site for expecting moms, friends, birth coaches, husbands, families and many more. Really, at first I thought, "What more do you need to know?" But Wow, there was so much to learn while viewing the videos and reading the book. I am done having children and wished I had these to review with my first pregnancy. I was scared. Didn't know what to expect. I had only seen my sister in law have kids. It was a breeze for her. I went to lamaze class and left scared and confused. After 4 c-sections I was pretty much done. LOL It would have been nice to learn how to talk to my doctors. The right questions to ask. Basically get to know my pregnant body as well as breast feeding, which was difficult at first and learning about new born care. You can buy all the books you want, but nothing I ever had would ever compared to these wonderful videos. I am a very visual person and if you are like me, you will love them too!

Momologie.com Review and Adorable Baby Blanket Giveaway

About Momologie:

Momologie is brought to you by the "MiGi Girls", Michele Adams and Gia Russo.  The Girls met at Martha Stewart Living when the company was small, yet growing rapidly into a media empire—television, magazines, Internet, books and then products.  They were fortunate to have the opportunity to be involved in designing product lines, developing stories for the magazine, producing segments for the television show, etc.  Everything they learned during those busy years became the foundation of their business.
When Michele & Gia discovered they were both moving to Los Angeles, they started talking about their plans and had similar ideas about what they wanted to do.  They knew their passion for entertaining and home life would make a great business and could take them in many directions, but they had no idea how big it would become.  The MiGi philosophy of embracing personal style in a way that is comfortable and affordable had quickly made it a successful brand.
FR_CupcakesF
Michele & Gia are very realistic, and present a fresh and approachable style to everyday living.  You'd imagine they have it all together since they are lifestyle experts, but they'll be the first to admit to having learned a lot from their mistakes.  As moms to very young boys, they know the only rule is to remain flexible for their families.  To them, Momologie is a resource that is practical, smart and credible so that every mom, no matter what her life is like, will find it useful.”

Why Momologie?

“Michele & Gia admit that even though they've built their careers on good taste and practical advice, they still need lots of help to keep things running smoothly.  Every day, they rely on the advice of friends, neighbors and family, and spend as much time as any mom trying to find answers to all of their questions online. Yet they have not found that one resource that feels like a reliable best friend.
With Momologie, the goal is to provide a resource that speaks to moms across America every day and fits into their busy lives in a way that is satisfying and keeps them coming back.  There is a ton of juggling that
CH_InstantPartyDecorFhappens in a home, and Michele & Gia are determined to make family life fun and guilt free for moms because we deserve to feel good about what we're doing.   In the end, a happy mom is a better mom, and every mom needs a best friend to lean on (even if it is a daily e-mail.)”

Things that are Brag Worthy:

  • I love the Momologie site!  It is my new go to place for all ideas and tips mommy!
  • Momologie is a great place to go for Mommy Inspiration!
  • 4 main topics: Celebrations & Holidays, Food & Recipes, Home and Organizing, Personal Style and Travel.

Yes Sarah Gebbie Cloth Review and Giveaway

Yes Sarah Gebbie Cloth Review and Giveaway

sample_r5

The Gebbie Cloth is a wrap around burp cloth that was created by two friends to stylishly protect the clothing of new parents. Because it wraps around the neck, it does not fall off and it offers superior coverage to the traditional burp cloth. Devoted fans are saying that they cannot imagine using anything else.

footer2

The Gebbie Cloth is available in eight great fabrics. It is made of 100% cotton on top and a luxurious chenille on the reverse, offering a soft place for a newborn to snuggle.”

neat_nek_015_qcv7

Both my boys are HUGE spitter-uppers (No, that’s not a word… lol) and I’m constantly needing a burp cloth on my shoulder to protect my clothes. Now that I have my Gebbie Cloth, I don’t have to keep putting it back on, or have it slip and little Ruben pukes all over my favorite top. These wrap around burp clothes are seriously the best idea ever. It has velcro in the front so it stays in place around your neck. Not to mention how CUTE they all are! I love anything with a beautiful fabric, and Yes Sarah has many to choose from. The back side is made of super soft fabric, so you can turn it inside out if you want your baby to snuggle up to something soft. They fold up small and are perfect for throwing in the diaper bag, and you will definitely get compliments where ever you take your Gebbie Cloth!

Things that are Brag Worthy:

  • Wraps around your neck so it won’t fall off

      Mommy Necklaces Review and Giveaway

      Mommy Necklaces Review and Giveaway

      pi-glam

      urbandoublestrand

      “What are Mommy Necklaces™?

      We specialize in what have often been referred to as ‘nursing necklaces’. Hmmm, nursing necklace? Yep, nursing, as in breastfeeding. A nursing necklace is to be worn while (you guessed it!) …nursing. A nursing necklace aids in reducing pinching, pulling, distractibility and other common busy baby problems! Pretty clever, huh? But nursing necklaces don’t only benefit breastfeeding mothers. Our nursing necklaces are ‘mommy necklaces’, designed with extra TLC to stand-up to the job of wearing a necklace around children.top_middle function_meets_style

      jadeteardrop Mommy Necklaces™ are more than that…

      No beads crashing to the floor at the grocery store, no chipped glass beads after being banged on the coffee table for the 50th time, and no more breakage of your finer jewelry. Nursing necklaces are not made for teething or to be used by baby in any way other than touching. Our products are still considered jewelry….jewelry with extra TLC! Mommy Necklaces™ nursing necklaces will help you wear a necklace with confidence again!”

      I love to wear jewelry- it always makes me feel put together. Since having my kids, though, I very rarely wear it. Usually only the occasional date nights or mom’s night out. Which was why I was super excited to try out my Mommy Necklace! A baby friendly necklace I can wear ALL the time- and something that is totally OK for my two babies to pull on. Fabulous!

      mommynecklacesbench

      The quality really is great- I don’t think either of my boys process the strength to break this one. Ruben is just getting to the point where he loves to “play” while nursing. Usually his favorite toy is my hair. (Ouch!). But every time I’ve worn my necklace while nursing he is totally entertained with it and leaves my poor hair alone. Not to mention the fact that the necklace is ADORABLE and I’ve gotten many compliments from other moms. (It’s so cute I wore it to “Mom’s Night Out”- don’t even need a baby to want to wear it!) Mommy jewelry is so great for any mother- and Mommy Necklaces have a style to fit everyone’s taste. They have multiple collections with different styles, be sure to check them out!

      Things that are Brag Worthy:3

      • 3 year guarantee
      • Great to use while nursing
      • Mutually beneficial while nursing – engaged baby, pain-free mommy!
      • Safe alternative to regular jewelry
      • Stylish & trendy
      • Strong enough to keep baby from breaking it
      • You can wear jewelry ALL the time!
      • Non-toxic
      • High-quality acrylic beads are light-weight and comfortable
