@TommeeTippee_NA Closer to Nature Comfi-Neck Bibs

This post is brought to you by Tommee Tippee. All opinions are mine.

Do you have a child like mine - whether baby or toddler - that no matter which bib you put on, somehow they still manage to get food everywhere, including on their clothes UNDER the bib? Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother with putting the bib on in the first place....

But now when I want to protect my son's clothes, I turn to the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Comfi-Neck Cream Bibs. Or remeber that sad neck rash many babies get from milk, drool or spit up dribbling down their neck and getting stuck in their neck folds? Prevent that rash with these bibs too!!

How? Well, these Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Comfi-Neck Cream Bibs feature a unique dribble catcher that absorbs moisture and is ideal for drips or teething. Thse bibs are super soft and absorbent so it prevents rashes AND protects your baby's clothes as well.

And we all know how hard it can be to put a bib on a squirmy baby! Well, these Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Comfi-Neck  Bibs also feature a convenient neck fastening that makes it easier to put bib on and take off baby!

PLUS, how cute are they!! They offer three colors - blue, pink and cream! We received the neutral Cream color and I love the reversible sides!

If you have been searching for a bib that stops that dribble, Comfi-Neck bibs work awesome and I so wish they were invented back when my children were babies!

They are classically simple, reversible and will match all of Baby's outfits AND stop the dribble, food and drool from getting everywhere!

Tommee Tippee Simplee Diaper Pail

* This post is brought to you by Tommee Tippee. All opinions are mine.*

As parents, we all know that dirty diapers are the smelliest part of the job! Where to put them, how often you have to take them out and the smell that comes from them are the endless questions associated with dirty diapers. 

Today, I hope to solve some of those dirty diaper questions for you with the Simplee Diaper Pail from tommee tippee! I know it has solved many of them for me!

The Tommee Tippee Simplee diaper pail is the simple, stylish and space-saving solution for keeping your baby’s room clean and odor-free. Multi-layer film and a smart seal lid keep nasty odors contained, saving you numerous trips to the outside trash bin. Suitable for diapers, wipes and all other trash!

I have gone through many diaper pails throughout my 3 children but this one has many unique features I haven't seen before with any of our previous diaper pails!

For one, I really like the multi-layer film and smart seal lid that blocks odors! They do this with a film that contains antibacterial ingredient that kills 99% of germs! That is awesome!

Plus, each refill cartridge can dispose of up to 180 diapers (Bin holds up to 18 diapers at one time) and comes all ready to use and dispose of some stinky diapers with one pre-loaded refill cartridge!

It is pretty small in size so it is perfect for a small nursery or as a space saving solution! But it is super easy to use which makes it a great gift idea for new parents!

Plus, the bins are available in 5 color combinations - white with grey top, white with bright blue top, white with bright pink top, white with pale blue lid and white with pale pink top so it can match any nursery decor!

This diaper pail is easy to use, eliminates the stinky smell that seems to always be in a baby room or nursery and fits in small spaces while matching the decor.

You can purchase the Tommee Tippee Simplee Diaper Pail at your local retailer.

Never Lose A Drop of Liquid Gold with the Pump and Go from tommee tippee

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

If you are a pumping or breastfeeding mom, you know how precious every little drop of milk is! There is a reason they call it liquid gold - pumping and nursing are hard work and every drop matters for your baby!

I am a pumping mom to boost my supply and supplement my babies because I can't successfully breastfeed alone. It can be stressful, hard work and I never want a single drop to be left in the bottle!

But between transferring it from storage bags to bottles and back, milk was always left behind and it was killer for me after all the work it took to get those precious drops!

Thankfully, tommee tippee has come to pumping moms' rescue because they developed an awesome new Pump and Go set that allows for easy pumping with your favorite breast pump into bags that can be used for pumping, freezing and then also used to feed!

The Pump and Go really makes pumping simpler and I LOVE how everything I need for pumping and feeding (minus the breast pump) are included in the Starter Pack!

By using a single pouch to pump, store, warm and feed, there's no need to transfer milk at any stage, so you'll never lose a precious drop. If you're a busy breastfeeding mom who wants to pump, this All in One Starter Set contains a complete solution to help keep things simple.

The set contains all moms need to turn their favorite pump into part of the Pump and Go System ensuring you protect every drop of breast milk. It includes bottles, the Pouch Bottle, storage container for the pouches for the freezer, pouches with spot for the name, date and extra info, and a great Bottle Warmer! With this set, you are ready to pump at work, at home, anywhere!

And I LOVE that I can continue using my favorite Medela pump with this set. With the adapter included in this set, the unique Breast Milk Pouch can connect to most breast pump brands such as Medela, Lansinoh, Evenflo, Ameda, Philips Avant and Tommie Tippee and I can pump normally but without having to transfer to another bottle or freezer container!

The adapter easily twists on to my favorite pump and I can then easily twist on one of the pouches. And off I go, pumping, storing and feeding all with one pouch!

Once I am done pumping, then I can either choose to store the milk in the handy storage container included in the Pump and Go starter set or stick it in the Breast Milk Pouch Bottle and feed the baby right away! I love how easy the system is to use and they didn't leave out anything with this set!

Plus, they have a great place for writing the child's name, date and other info on the bottle - this is great children in daycare, moms pumping at work that need to keep track of their milk and for keeping track of how old the milk is and which ones to use first! tommee tippee really thought of everything with this set!

The bags are pre-sterilized and are only single-use but they are lightweight and easy to store and grab when ready to feed baby! It was really easy to stick in the pouch bottle and away you go ready to feed baby from the bottle! PLUS, they are cost competitive at $.50/unit!

The Pump and Go starter set would make a perfect gift for the working and pumping mom or the mom that is supplementing with pumping! It includes everything that a pumping mom would need to make the sometimes stressful job of pumping just that much easier! Everything is included and ready to go when you need it! PLUS, You NEVER Waste a drop of that precious liquid gold!

Check out more about the Pump and Go from tommee tippee in the video below:

I definitely recommend the The Pump and Go for all busy breastfeeding moms - it takes away the extra stress of wasting any milk! By using a single pouch to pump, store, warm and feed, there’s no need to move milk at any stage, so you’ll never lose a precious drop! It makes a great gift any new mom and make being a new parent just a little easier!

Get a FREE Snapfish Mug with the Purchase of a Tommee Tippee Product!

This post is brought to you by Tommee Tippee. All opinions are mine.

Do you like a "TWO for ONE" Deal like I DO??? 

Then you will love that Tommee Tippee and Snapfish have partnered to bring an exclusive offer for a free 11 oz. photo mug from Snapfish when you buy a Tommee Tippee product! You get two great products for the price of ONE Tommee Tippee product! The offer is currently stickered on cups (excluding single valve) and mealtime (plates, bowls, etc) products.

Cups with the offer can be purchased at Babies R Us, Target, or Walmart, and mealtime products can be purchased at Babies R Us. I really wanted to make a personalized mug for my hubby AND get some great new Tommee Tippee cups for my children to use so I headed to my local Target to check out their selection!

I found the Tommee Tippee cups in the baby area of the store and immediately saw the bright yellow sticker on several items! Now came the hard choice of deciding which new Tommee Tippee item to purchase!!!

The lippee cups are great for my 20 month old and helping him learn to drink but the insulated straw tumblers are great for my two oldest - especially in a lunch box!

I finally decided on the insulated straw cups because they can be great for all three of my children because 12 months + can use them! I love that they keep drinks cold and are such cute designs!

I then couldn't wait to get home and design a mug on Snapfish with my free code! It was super easy to enter the free promo code for the mug and it was also super easy to design the mug and get it shipped (*shipping charges not included in free offer)! I really enjoyed designing a one of a kind personalized mug for my hubby!

I decided on a cabin theme since we recently bought a cabin up north! I knew my husband would love it for drinking coffee in the mornings at the cabin! I couldn't wait for it to arrive!

The minute I got the mug in the mail, I had to give it to my husband! I wanted to wait for his birthday in May but I was just so excited for him to see it! And I am glad I didn't wait because he LOVED it! The mug and the pictures were better than even I expected! The pictures were clear and bold and they looked great!

It will be such a great part of our cabin and will be part of many memories to come for many years!

Thank you for the great "2 for 1" offer Tommee Tippee & Snapfish!!

Head into Summer with tommee tippee!

As a tommee tippee ambassador, I was given product and also compensation for sharing with you. However. all opinions are mine!

The weather is heating up, school is out for most children and travel plans are on the minds of all parents! However, so is the worry and stress of traveling with children!

But this summer, tommee tippee wants to make it a little easier to travel with their toddler line of tableware!

We are big fans of tommee tippee products in our house and my two older children LOVE their toddler feeding line including their Easy Scoop Feeding Bowls With Lid and Spoon, Section Plates, Heat Sensing Spoons, Pop Up Storage Cups, Easi-Roll Bib, and Feeding Spoons. These travel-friendly products are great for bringing snacks along during the busy summer months!

Check out more info about MY favorite tommee tippee products for summer travel:

Easy Scoop Feeding Bowls With Lid and Spoon

Feeding on the go this summer? Then I highly recommend these  Explora Easy Scoop Feeding Bowls with Lid and Spoon for all your picnics, road trips, family vacations and camping trips this summer!

These Easy Scoop Feeding Bowls with Lid and Spoon pack includes 2 bowls, a leak-proof lid and an easy-grip spoon. They are a must-buy for easy feeding on the go. The easy-scoop triangular base helps with self-feeding and they fit with the Easi-Mat too, meaning less mess and less stress for you.

I love these because I always hate throwing a spoon in my travel bag and then losing it or thinking about how dirty it got while we traveled. The bowl and spoon (and lid!) stay conveniently together and are ready to feed at any time!

Easi-Roll Bibs

Perfect for in the home or on the go, Easi-Roll Bibs are probably the only bibs you'll ever need!

These Easi-Roll bibs are innovative and convenient, with a crumb catcher to collect mess and a dimpled reverse to encourage air flow and prevent irritation on delicate skin. They also roll up easily for storage and travel.

I love how they are nice and big so they cover a lot of your baby's clothes and they are easy to clean!

Heat Sensing Spoons

Help your baby discover solid foods safely this summer with Explora Heat Sensing Spoons!

These Heat Sensing Spoons change color from red to yellow if food is too hot – ideal if you’re using a microwave to heat food, as you can tell at a glance when it’s safe to feed your baby and when it’s not.

I love how innovative these spoons are and how I never have to worry about my baby burning his mouth or tongue again! When I am doing a million things at once and forget to check the temperature of his food, these Explora spoons have got my back and will remind me that the food is too hot by the color change!

My Favorite Products of 2014

* This post is sponsored by tommee tippee. All opinons are 100% mine!*

As the year 2014 nears its end, I have started reflecting on all my favorite products from the last year! I have been blessed with many wonderful products and companies to receive and share with you but there are some real standouts this year that I want to share with you to give them an extra shout for being so A-MAZING!

I have several categories below with winners in each category. Check them out, try them out, and I hope you love them as much as I do!

Favorite Clothing: 

SOYBU MICHELLE DOLMAN RAFFIA TOPS

This sumptuously soft and comfy Michelle Dolman continues its meteoric rise in popularity because it simply looks great on every body type. They've updated this favorite dolman fit with a refined finish at the neckline, cuffs and hem. Supremely versatile, the Michelle is a perfect workout top, but delightful over jeans and super-cute over tank dresses too. With so many pretty prints and solids available, you'll be tempted to collect them. Crafted from our Soft Jersey and Burnout Jersey.

I am a HUGE fan of Soybu clothing but this Dolman is my favorite shirt from Soybu! I absolutely LOVE this Michelle Dolman shirt! It works great with leggings or jeans, it is so comfortable to wear and it is has been the perfect transition shirt to wear after having a baby and working on losing the baby weight! I highly recommend this one!

Favorite holiday decor:

6-Pc Entry Set from BrylaneHome

Transform your entryway with a festive assortment of all-weather, fade-resistant, pre-lit evergreen to create a welcoming glow at your doorstep. A great addition to your outdoor Christmas decorations, this set comes at a value that can't be beat.

This 6-pc. set is cordless and each uses 3 AA batteries (not included). I love that it doesn't require cords but I don't love 3 batteries for each piece! However, I do LOVE that you can put them on a timer and have it turn on by itself each day and stay on for 6 hours!

(priced at $64.99)

My favorite is the Caramel Corn and the Chicago Mix! The Chicago Mix is the perfect mix of sweet and salty (or cheesy!) and the Caramel Corn is not too sweet on its own and seriously addicting! I had to literally make my husband pull the bag out of my hands at night!

The Pivot is not only powerful, but it's also compact and can be stored within easy reach to any mess. A distinctive pivoting nose feature enables easy cleaning for those hard to reach areas, such as under cupboards, above tall shelves, and in between couch cushions.

There are so many amazing features about this vacuum and I love how it is so portable and easy to use! Plus, it hangs on the wall or stands in a corner out of the way!

Lovin' Summer with tommee tippee!

 This post is brought to you by tommee tippee. All opinions are 100% mine!

{Sad sigh...}

Yes, summer is almost over. Where did the time go??

It has been a fun summer in our house...trips to the beach, the local Children's Museum, lots of walks, garage sales and the birth of our third child!!!

And who has been there every step of the way?? One of our favorite brands - tommee tippee!

Their products have refreshed us in the heat, fed my children delicious summer salads, breakfasts, and so much more, and we even got a chance to stock up some tommee tippee baby essentials for our new baby - pacifiers, bottles, and sippy cups for when he is older!

Take a look at our some of our children's favorite times with tommee tippee this summer:

My daughter using her tommee tippee spoon to eat a tasty tuna salad and staying refreshed with a tommee tippee spout cup!

My daughter LOVES her tommee tippee spoons and uses them for almost every meal! They are the perfect size for her hands and mouth and they give her just the right amount of food in each bite!

My oldest son was so proud to show off all the new tommee tippee products we have received and will use soon with our newborn son!

And then there are the shots of my newborn already loving his tommee tippee products! Well, he really does love them...it just doesn't look like it in this pic.... :)

Showing off a tommee tippee bib and bottle! He can't wait to use them!

And I just couldn't resist this cute one of him cuddling daddy alongside the tommee tippee bottle!

Now we get ready for school to start and for the first time we send one off to school this year - my 4 year old is heading to Pre-K! It will be a new experience for us all and I can't wait! And I am sure tommee tippee will be right there alongside us every step of the way!
