PLAYSKOOL Baby care products excluisvely at CVS pharmacy

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Bedtime, Feeding - baby & kids

Playskool2CVS pharmacy has just introduced an exclusive line of PLAYSKOOL Baby Care products –
meaning moms can now stock up on all their baby needs while picking up
prescriptions or purchasing other essentials, all in one place. The fun,
colorful line is filled with high-quality, innovative, and affordable items
that moms use everyday.

I LOVE it!   I run to CVS when I need just a few things.  At CVS, I don’t have to tote the kids around a huge store or risk having to park 1/2 a mile away from the entrance of the store.  It’s simply more convenient than the grocery store or ‘super’ store.

With the recent addition of PLAYSKOOL’s exclusive line for CVS, now when I run in to pick up paper towels, or bath wash, I can also grab a new pacifier, sippy cup, bowl with a spoon and other PLAYSKOOL products.. for Madelyn.  The selection is great.  The product selection includes Orthodontic pacifiers, Wide neck bottles,  Easy grip bowl, Cottony cloths (the world’s best baby wipes), Teething keys, Insulated No Spill Cups, Three stage nursers, and more.

The PLAYSKOOL products I have are colorful, durable, and best of all.. dishwasher safe.

Madelyn is just now getting her first tooth and LOVES the PLAYSKOOL Teething Keys. The keys are very colorful and each key has a different textured surface so Madelyn can switch from key to key for a new feel on her gums.  The keys are filled with
non-toxic Ice Gel that remains
soft even when placed in the freezer, so it’s gentle on Madelyn’s sore
gums. Ice Gel also stays colder longer than water-filled teethers, and
won’t evaporate over time.

One of my favorite PLAYSKOOL products in this line is the Insulated No Spill Cup.  Coasters just aren’t a reality in our house. The boys toss them around like frisbee’s and Madelyn hides them in places unbeknown to me. I am all about insulated cups these days. The PLAYSKOOL Insulated No Spill Cup is perfect for a new sippy cup user and for your valuable furniture. No more "sweat" rings on your tables!

Put together a package of PLAYSKOOL products for your next baby shower gift and you are sure to be super appreciated!  🙂

I recommend that all parents check out the new PLAYSKOOL line at CVS or visit the PLAYSKOOL section on the CVS website here.

Binky Lasso

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Baby & Kids Clothing, Bedtime

BinkylassoMadelyn’s pacifier is part of her wardrobe. There is not one hour of the day when she is without her pacifier. She doesn’t necessarily have it in her mouth 23 hours a day, but it’s  available for her when she wants it.  If she has a diaper on, she has a pacifier ‘on’. 

Because I am a "germiphone" (Sebastian’s word exactly), pacifier clips are an absolute neccessity.

Back in the day.. there weren’t options when looking for a pacifier clip. You might have had a few choices at the grocery store, but their pacifier clips just aren’t stylish for little princess and princesses. My little princess must have a stylish pacifier clip.

The Binky Lasso is a favorite of mine. I love the fabric design. I haven’t seen a pacifier clip made from fabric before I was introduced to the Binky Lasso. The Binky Lasso is easy to wipe clean with a wet cloth, super easy to clip on clothing or bibs, and can even be used as a toy clip.

Available in several designs, you are sure to find a Binky Lasso that fits your child’s personality and style.

Lulla Bed Story Blanket

Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Age 7-10, Ages 10-13, Bedtime, Nursery & Room Decor, , ,

Lullabed
I never dreamed something like this would be on the market. It is so neat!  Lulla Bed came up with a great idea to create kids comforters that actually light up and play sounds related to the comforter’s theme. Sebastian’s Lulla Bed Story Blanket is the Space theme and plays really cool space sounds. The lights are bright enough for Sebastian to see when the lights are off but not too bright to keep him awake.   Lulla Bed Story Blankets are  not only great for bedtime but for play time also!  Sebastian loves to build a fort with his Lulla Bed Story Blanketl, push the light and sounds button and read books, or play with toys. It’s like the ultimate fort. I would have loved to have had a light up and sound making blanket when I was young.

The Story Blanket  is a duvet cover and comforter with 133 miniature LED’s. The comforter plays a themed soundtrack while the duvet cover softly bubbles with light.  The sound can be played in two ways. There is a two minute light and sound show for storytime or playtime and a one minute fading light show for sleepy time.

What’s really cool about Lulla Beds is that they make co-ordinating pillows, pillow shams, and bed skirts so your child’s bed will have a complete theme.

Choose from a Space theme, a Princess theme, a Heroes theme, and a Kitty theme.

Oh, and there is one more very important product sold at the Lulla Bed website… It is a "Bed Effects Light". You know how years ago, you would see cars with ‘glowing’ lights under them? That’s what this does to your child’s bed!  It is really neat! Your child will no longer be afraid of ‘monsters under the bed’ when they have a Lulla Beds Bed Effects Light.

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!!
