Hello Spring! Hello @zutano Booties

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

It's Spring and that means lots of new babies are born and the babies born in winter are appearing outdoors for the first time! 😊

Parents gotta keep those toesies warm but looking cute at the same time so Zutano booties are here for the rescue! Zutano has the perfect booties for every season but as the weather gets warmer their cotton baby booties are perfect for the little munchkin that isn’t quite on the move yet. And for those older babies, Zutano’s leather baby shoes are available in a variety of colors and designs!

Booties are a perfect gift for a new mom or baby shower - they are so cute - you are sure to get that wonderful AWwww moment!

I received two different booties from Zutano and I love both! They are so cute and will make my new little niece fashionable and warm!

The Cozie Furry Baby Booties are their best-selling cozie fleece booties featuring their signature two-snap secure fit and an ultra soft fleece exterior with an interlock cotton lining to wrap your baby's feet in comfort. The two adjustable snaps help the booties stay on while allowing them to shape well to the contours of your baby's foot. Designed for durability, these booties maintain their shape and feel after extended wash and wear. Featured here in hot pink.

And the Silver Leather Baby Shoe are great for older babies! This soft-soled baby shoe is designed for comfort and versatility, serving as the perfect crib shoe or first walker for babies.

The upper body is metallic silver and is made of 100% genuine leather, making it soft and breathable. An adjustable hook and loop strap on each side allows the shoe to be tightened or loosened for the perfect fit, keeping it securely on little feet.

The outsole is made of flexible, soft leather, making it easy for babies to bend and move their feet, while tread at the heels and toes provides slip resistant protection. The insole is cushioned with high-density foam for added comfort and durability.

Each pair comes with a drawstring canvas shoe bag for protection that doubles as a beautiful gift bag.

You can purchase Zutano shoes from their website.

Soothe Your Child to Sleep with the Glow to Sleep!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

One of my biggest pieces of advice for any new parents of toddlers and younger children is to have a soothing clock and a consistent night routine for their children! It makes bedtime easier and helps children fall asleep faster, get a better night's sleep and stay healthier!

We have been using clocks that tell a story before bedtime for years to help our children calm down for bedtime and fall asleep easier. We also like to use sound machines when we travel or the NEW Glow to Sleep that makes soothing lights and sounds!

I really love the Glow to Sleep because it offers a variety of sounds to choose from including: babbling brook, car ride, heartbeat, lullaby, soft rain, rain forest, rumbling train, ocean waves, white noise and shushing. So you are sure to find that perfect sound that lulls your baby to sleep - even when overtired!

Glow to Sleep is also Bluetooth enabled so you can play your own sounds, songs and stories from any Bluetooth-compatible device. A micro USB cable and rechargeable backup battery are included. Plus, the SD card slot also allows you to customize using your own mini SD card.

The gentle lights soothe baby, and are also a convenient night-light for parents peeking in! But if you prefer no lights, they do offer On/off options for lights and volume control for sound.

It is so easy to operate and makes a really great baby shower gift!

You can purchase Glow to Sleep for $37.48 from Amazon.com

Keep Your Baby Safe for Many Years with the Safety 1st Grow and Go Air Car Seat

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

If you are pregnant with your first baby, filling out a baby registry or just looking for a safe and trustworthy car seat for your precious child, the hunt for a safe, durable car seat can get overwhelming! There are a lot of options out there but for me, I recommend you buy a seat right away that will last for years with your child!

Buy a car seat like the NEW Safety 1st Grow and Go Air that not only features the latest in advanced side impact protection but also features extended use rear-facing and forward-facing and an IIHS Good Bet booster built right in. I like to call it “the only car seat you’ll need to buy” and that really is something unique in the baby product world!

Featuring Dorel Juvenile patented Air Protect® technology, the Safety 1st Grow and Go Air provides advanced safety systems for truly superior side impact crash protection. The successor of the widely popular Grow and Go 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat, Grow and Go Air provides the same features with a new layer of safety – Air Protect®.

Air Protect® Technology

Driven by emotional stories of traumatic crashes, Safety 1st’s world-class team of Child Passenger Safety Experts began researching, developing and testing Air Protect® technology in 2009. Utilizing the most advanced testing methods, at the Dorel Juvenile manufacturing and research and development facility in Columbus, IN, Air Protect® has been proven to save lives. Outside of testing facilities, this fact has been proven by parents through countless letters, calls and photos from families around the US.

Grows With Baby

For newborns to growing toddlers, the Grow and Go Air can be used in the rear-facing position from 5-40 pounds. It includes three comfortable grow-with-baby pillows to give your new travel companion a snug fit, and they easily remove as your baby outgrows them. The pillows are also reversible to help quickly manage messes on the road.

In forward-facing mode, the Grow and Go Air keeps your child protected in a harness up to 65 pounds. In both rear-facing and forward-facing mode, harness holders keep the harness in an open position. This makes it easier for you to get your child in and out of the car seat. No more fishing for the harness and clips from behind your child – they’re right there when you need them. The QuickFit™ Harness offers additional convenience in both of these stages by letting you adjust the height of both the headrest and harness with one hand, in one easy step, making it simple to give your growing child the best fit.

When your child is ready to use the vehicle seat belts, hide the harness and use the Grow and Go Air 3-in-1 Car Seat in belt-positioning booster mode: up to 100 pounds. The headrest still adjusts with one hand, letting you get the best fit for your child.

Other Unique Features

• Machine washable and dryer safe seat pad, unsnaps and lifts away quickly from the seat frame for truly easy cleaning
• QuickFit™ Harness for easy adjustment of both harness and headrest in one simple step
• 3-position recline for a good fit in any car
• In and Out Harness Holders keep straps out of the way when buckling
• Easy belt access panels built into the seat for easy installation
• Grow-with-baby pillows for a comfortable ride
• A compact install, allowing up to 7” more legroom for adult, front seat passengers.
• Two integrated cup holders

Buy It:

You can purchase the Safety 1st Grow and Go Air from Babies R Us for $199.99

Postpartum Kit from HelloFlo

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I am officially three days overdue and waiting, waiting, waiting for this baby #3 to arrive! I know from my past births that you can prepare for the baby arriving but sometimes you forget to prepare for yourself AFTER the birth! I know with my first two, my husband was making many trips to the store when I needed items for myself!

But I feel much more prepared this time! I recently received a great Postpartum Kit from HelloFlo and I can't wait to use all the great items!

HelloFlo is a subscription service that delivers a customized care pack of all the feminine necessities at the right time every month. Their goal is simple: eliminate any surprises or emergency trips to the drugstore and provide a bit of cheer when it's most needed.

The Postpartum Kit for new mothers includes everything I will need after having a baby, including (but certainly not limited to) Dear Kate underwear, Bamboobies nursing pads, and SW Basics lip balm and lotion. Most of the items in the kit are made by women-owned businesses. Naama Bloom, Helloflo’s founder, has called it the package she wishes she would’ve gotten when she came home from the hospital after having her kids.

Every Mom Should Have One.

This kit makes a great baby shower gift or gift for the new mama! Get her this kit and she’ll definitely be your BFF. She doesn’t need another onesie! :)

This kit contains:

• Dear Kate Leak-Free Underwear
• 1 Pair Bamboobies Nursing Pads
• 1 Box Always Infinity Heavy Pads
• 1 Fabric Box to organize supplies
• SW Basics Lip Balm and Lotion

I love that this box contains A LOT of natural and organic items which is so important to me including organic tea, organic Hard Candy, and organic lip balm.

Besides the great natural and organic products, they included so many USEFUL items like leak-free underwear, nursing pads and heavy pads...things I sometimes forget to stock up on right away after baby!

This kit is a great gift idea either for another expecting or new mom or as a push present for YOURSELF! It is so helpful and full of great surprises!

I love how it clips onto a stroller, car seat and more and makes different noises, textures, and colors!

Sticky Bellies

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

It is no secret that I LOVE taking pictures of my children - I want to be able to look back and remember EVERY memory, outfit, smile and laugh and pictures help me do that!!

One of the best inventions for picture-taking mommas like me is Sticky Bellies, reusable stickers that parents can use to mark milestones in their child’s life. I used them with my second child and now I get to use them with my third child!

They are so helpful for marking the monthly milestones memorable and easy to identify on pictures so you always know how old your baby was when you took that adorable picture!

These reusable stickers come in various fun prints like “Patterned Prepster” and “Nifty Neutral” and highlight everything from baby’s age to baby’s first Christmas.

I chose to receive one of their new designs: the gender neutral Wild One: Newborn - 12 months and each sticker is so bright, cute and unique! I love the animal theme!

Vibrant hues paired with classic animal shapes guarantee families crazy cute snapshots of their boy or girl!
Bright, colorful stickers give the appearance of a custom onesie (but with the convenience of a removable sticker)

Set includes 13 stickers for baby's 1st year (1 - 12 months + a "Brand New" sticker). Opaque, heavy-duty monthly onesie stickers can be removed and reapplied for several photo shoots.

Sticky Bellies makes a unique & great shower gift! And the adorable packaging fits perfectly into a greeting card envelope for easy mailing! This may be one of my favorite baby gifts ideas out there!

Buy It: You can purchase all Sticky Bellies Sticker Sets for $14 from the Sticky Bellies website.
