Burp Catcher

Spit up, spit up everywhere.. spit up, spit up in my hair!

That is a day in the life of.. ME! Not anymore!!! YEAH!!

I am now using the Burp Catcher and now the spit up goes in a little pocket sewn into the burp cloth rather than down my back and on my clothes.

Do you want to know what one product can actually make your days and nights easier? I have found it! The Burp Catcher. Madelyn has always been a big "spitter upper" and using regular burp cloths doesn’t keep the spit up from going all down my back and getting on my clothes.

There are a combination of factors that make this a truly innovative product that I think every parent of a newborn needs:
1. The Burp Catcher has a pocket that hangs open just enough to catch your baby’s spit up during burping.
2. The Burp Catcher is made of a very soft material that your baby will love.
3. The Burp Catcher can be rolled or folded up and will easily fit in your diaper bag.
4. The Burp Catcher is machine washable!

Plush hooded towel from Burps, Bibs and Beyond

They’ve done it again! I love the great finds at Burps, Bibs and Beyond. Recently I got a great hooded
towel in the mail from them and absolutely love it. They don’t sell just your ordinary hooded towels.
The thickness of the towel is amazing (it is made from a regular towel) and the hood actually covers Madelyn’s entire head. OK, so her head is in the 75% percentile… she gets that from her Dad!  Anyway, the hooded towel sold at Burps, Bibs and Beyond is large enough to cover her body and then some which is very nice. Quite often I have used a hooded towel and then wrapped a regular towel around her as well to keep her warm, but I don’t have to do that with this hooded towel.

Piggyback classic tote from I’m Still Me

Yes, it’s hard to believe that even after you have a baby "you’re still you"…That’s where "I’m Still Me" comes in. Mackenzie and Sandra, a mom and daughter team combine their love of beautiful fabric with extensive sewing and design experience to create these perfect diaper bags.

I use my classic tote every day.

What I love about this diaper bag:
1. The 2 side pockets. One is perfect for my cell phone and lipstick while the other holds my sunglasses.
2. The inside pockets. There are several inner pockets that hold my diaper wipes, diapers, diaper rash cream, a little notebook, hand sanitizer, and a few other things.
3. The main pocket holds the diapers, usually a magazine or two, and other assorted things.
4. The "clip on pouch". This pouch is such an awesome idea!  I carry my wallet, camera, powder, and a few other things in the pouch for easy access.

This diaper bag is washable throughout.

I absolutely love this bag and recommend that both expecting and experienced moms buy one for themseleves!
