My NapPak

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Bedtime, Personalized, , , ,

This is one of my all time favorites. I purchased a NapPak for Sebastian 3 years ago and he can still use it today. He is now 7. The NapPak is an all-in-one pillow, comforter and attached fleece
                          blanket
that can be used as a school nap mat, at slubmer parties, and at Grandma’s house.

The NapPak has a super soft pillow and with designs for both girls and boys, kids are sure to love their NapPak for years.. just like Sebastian has.

NapPaks can be monogrammed with your child’s name. The monogramming is done is really cute fonts that kids love.

When Sebastian started Pre-K (years old) I was nervous that he wouldn’t be able to roll up his NapPak by himself which is required by the teachers, but he could! His friends in class loved his NapPak. It is so much better than those plastic mats the school supplies or that you buy at Target. The NapPak rolls up and is secured with Velco closures. It even has a handle for easy carrying!

The NapPak is machine washable and can be dried!

Lullabub crib rocker

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Bedtime, Fun stuff for parents,

The Lullabub is a remote controlled, automatic crib rocker for babies.. and their parents. No, you can’t get in the crib with your baby but you will get more rest and more done in general when you have a Lullabub.

The “Lullabub” consists of four décor designed modules, which are simply placed under each leg of a cot.

The Lullabub simulates four relaxing motions including the mother’s womb, mother’s heartbeat, drive in the car, or a boat on the water. Each motion is very soothing. When I put Madelyn’s Lullabub on the "car" setting and cover her with her blanket, she rolls her eyes in the back of her head and lulls off to sleep.

Tim, my husband, loves the Lullabub as much as I do for reasons that I wouldn’t have thought of… the Lullabub raises the height of the crib just enough to make it easier to reach baby without bending over if you are on the taller side. We both love the remote control activation which makes it easy for us to start the Lullabub when Madelyn gets fussy without her seeing us. The remote control can be attached to the wall for easy access.

I was amazed at how easy the Lullabub was to install. We have a standard American crib for Madelyn and all I had to do was hold the crib up, one side at a time, so I could place each Lullabub piece under a leg.

Our Nanny was thrilled when she gently leaned on the crib one day and it rocked! Not only does the Lullabub have pre-set automatic settings but you can rock it yourself with the touch of a finger. Madelyn loves it when we rock her in her crib!

The Lullabub uses a standard outlet and the remote control uses AA batteries.

Besides all of the above great features of the Lullabub.. I LOVE the fact that it doesn’t make ANY noise! Really!!

Frog Baby Tote

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Baby & Kids Clothing, Cleaning & Cleaners, , , ,


This is an awesome bath set! Not only does it come with 2 washcloths, and a hooded frog towel, but the set also comes with a soft terry frog toy that baby can play with while you are bathing her. Clean your baby with super soft washcloths from Bibany Kids then wrap your baby up in this super cute hooded frog towel also from Bibany Kids.

All pieces are maching washable and can be dried as well. We love that!  The hood on the towel is just the right size. It doesn’t swallow Madelyn whole and she is almost 6 months old. The towel will fit kids ages 0-2 or maybe even a little older.

The set comes in a reusable vinyl tote so you can pack it up and take it to Grandma’s!

Babies and kids can never have enough hooded towels. In my house, they often double as very affordable play costumes!

Tame that bottle!

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Feeding - baby & kids, Store Reviews, , , , , , , ,

Lilbahbee
My son, Sebastian, recently told me that I am a "germaphone"… AKA germaphobe.  It mortifies me when Madelyn’s pacifier, bottle, or toys touch the floor, counter top or other surface that might have a germ or two million on it. Thank goodness there is someone else like me out there that was smart enough to invent a product that will keep these things from falling to the floor especially while out and about.

The Lil BahBee™ Bottle Tamer® is an adjustable baby bottle strap that conveniently secures your child’s bottle, sippy cup, or favorite toy to a number of locations.

You simply attach the toy, bottle, or sippy cup to one end of the Bottle Tamer then attach the other end to an exercauser, stroller, highchair, car seat handle, or shopping cart and WHALLA, you have an item that may not get 5 million germs on it due to falling on the ground!  YEAH Lil BahBee.

This is one of the greatest products I have seen yet and priced at only $8.50, you can buy several..one to keep in the car, at Grandma’s house, and of course in your house.

My only wish is that the Bottle Tamer come in other colors such as pink for girls and blue for boys.

Mama Needs It!

There is nothing cute about these onesies… did I just say that?!  They are super COOL! I love the Beastie Boys and now I can spread the love through Madelyn’s clothing.  Every once in a while parents want to get away from the pink and blue frills and dress baby in something…cool,  not cute. Now parents can live vicariously through their infant while he/she is wearing a Beastie Boys, Foo Fighters, Blink 182 onesie. The band logo is featured on a black onesie to give baby a cool, tough look. I think these are adorable on little girls. It’s time to step out of the box and put your little girl in a band onesie from Mama Needs It!
