Momo Design House Ring Sling

We rang in the New Years with Style this year!! My community hosts an annul fireworks and BBQ in the park for the kids. This was Aiden's first year, and he got toted around in style in his Momo Design House Sling. I got many compliments and many wow I wish I had one of those when my kids were babies. I also received a phone call after the event a parent asking me where She could purchase such a carrier. Now mind you Aiden was fully dressed for the weather in a fleece snow suit and yet he was very comfy in the sling. I was able to adjust the sling for his comfort and my own.

What I love the most about Momo Design House Ring Sling is the COMFORT.. Seriously this sling is the Cadillac of designs. The Fabric is beautiful, The embellished material is just enough to add a bit of class to the sling.. Absolutely beautiful..

When asked where to purchase such a sling. I was very obliged to guide the parent to the Momo Design House website. There are many colour options take a stop by and get your own today..

Kim at Momo Design House was kind enough to offer Judson family readers a chance to win one of two organic cotton Monkey Onsies..

SayWrap Product Review and Give Away

When comfort is Needed....SayWrap! Sarah is the crafty Momma behind the Scenes at SayWrap a unique Etsy Shop that I am super pleased to have come across while getting geared up for the Babywearing Event.

I had a chance to review a SayWrap and what I like about this carrier.. Is first off how the product arrived.. It was Secured with hemp twine and beads..attention to details..it was a great first impression of SayWrap. Second is how light the wrap is. it was so comfy.. I carry Aiden quite a bit throughout the day while we are home and doing well...everyday things..getting Seamus on and off the bus... getting Jake ready for the day..cleaning, and blogging... this wrap was great, I did not find it at all too warm for use inside the house..the material was breathable... The material used is 100% ORGANIC lightweight Jersey Cotton, the edges are unfinished as Jersey Cotton does not fray, I was a little hesitant popping this wrap in the wash..but low and behold it was fine, and does quite well in the wash. My guy seams to suck on the fabric while he is being chauffeured around. So I need a wrap that can hold up to the washing machine.

A wrap can be overwhelming for a first time user. Practice... get your wee one settled and practice with her or him... Support your baby until you feel confident with the wrap or hold that you have chosen.

Sarah has taken a lot of the guess work out of the equation with these great videos to show you how to tie your SayWrap www.youtube.com/user/saywraps

I had a few questions for Sarah about her product and her view on the benefits of Babywearing

1. What inspired you to start your own business?
First, my baby, Evan. He was born March 13 of this year and I have been doing anything to avoid going back to work full time. Second, the wrap. After making my own wrap when he was about 2 months old, I was amazed at how helpful and comforting it was for both me and Evan. So, I put the two reasons together and would love to be able to help as many parents and babies as possible while making a little money at the same time.

2.What sets the SayWrap apart?
Most wraps are either very stretchy or not at all. The jersey cotton I use is in the middle. It's stretchy to be very comfortable for the newborn, but has a strength to support the older infant as well. My material is lightweight which keeps both carrier and baby cooler. They are also individually made with love from a SAHM:)

3.As a parent what benefits have you experienced from wearing your baby?
Oh, my. Where do I start? I love knowing that my baby is comfortable. Truly comfortable. Being worn must be the closest to being back in the womb there is. Wearing Evan helps calm him down if he's agitated, helps him handle new situations better, helps put and keep him asleep, and he just likes it! When he sees me putting my wrap on, he gets all smiley and happy!
It has also benefited me personally in many ways. It allows me to get things done around the house without hassle. It makes going out or shopping so much easier. (No worries about gross shopping cart seats!) And I don't have to worry about lugging around a big awkward stroller. (Which I did a couple times when he was a newborn, and I felt so silly and cumbersome) Also, I am an "attached" parent and I honestly just love having him right next to me; content. And now that he weighs a bit more, wearing him is a definite back saver. All in all, it makes me happy that I can do anything with him by my side; and he's happy to be there.

You want one....

You can purchase your very own SayWrap just pop on over to the SayWrap Etsy Shop.. SayWrap is having a grand Opening sale, you can choose a free onesie with a purchase of a wrap.

WIN IT!!!

Sprout Baby Review & Give Away

I had the opportunity..or shall I say Aiden had the opportunity to give Sprout Baby Food a try. We received a variety of fruit and vegetables to sample. what else can we say but yummy!
I made the decision to make our own baby foods for a multitude of reasons. One of the main reasons being that I was not entirely sure what was in the food. Second main reason was the cost.

Sprout Baby foods are amazing first thing I noticed was the list of ingredients... there are no additional ingredients. What you see is what you get,

Made with all certified organic ingredients. No artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. Sweet Peas Ingredients: Organic Sweet Peas, Filtered Water. Roasted Butternut Squash Ingredients: Organic Butternut Squash. Baked Sweet Potato Ingredients: Organic Sweet Potatoes.

Allergen Information: Does not contain Milk, Nuts, Egg, Soy, Wheat, Gluten, Fish or Shellfish.

Sprout Baby Foods are inexpensive. Check out their website for a variety of packages to choose from.



What I like about this product.

• Organic.. I always try to buy organic when I can.
  
• Taste.. The Baby food actually tasted like food. Banana's taste like ban ans, Sweet potato's taste like sweet potato's.. Yummy
• Convenience... The packaging makes this product so easy to take along. toss one in the diaper bag along with a spoon.. easy.

I am unsure about my opinion on the packaging, we try to purchase packaging that is recyclable when possible. This packaging is not recyclable, also It is really difficult to get all the food out of the packet.

Now for the Question we all are waiting to hear...

What does Aiden Think? He Loves it!!!... Everything seemed tasty to him especially the bananas.


Moms point of View. Sprout Baby Foods is definitely a product that I would purchase. I am still committed to preparing home made baby food, but I do like the option of having Sprout Baby Food on hand for quick on the go moments, I like the ease of having the pouches in the diaper bag.

Would I Recommend this product to other moms? ... Yes I would.. I would recommend Sprout Baby Foods to all moms. Check them out Here.

Green Acre Designs Diaper Review and Give Away

As I am writing this review my little guy Aiden is snug in bed with no other than his GAD(Green Acre Designs) Cloth Diaper on..... and am I worried that he will spring a leak through the night? Not in the least. I am 100% sure that GAD will stand up to this heavy wetter.

You see I have been given the opportunity to review a GAD, and believe me it has seen alot of butt this week.

I was a little worried when I received the "Fluff Mail" containing this beautiful diaper... I for sure thought that it would be too small. When deciding on what size to get for Aiden I used the size chart on the GAD website, I felt confident that I chose the right size... Medium for my "big" little guy...the diaper just seamed so small.

After trying the Medium on Aiden I was shocked that it fit with room to spare (we are on the second snaps) This diaper is sooo Trim Fitting.
Top 3 Reasons I would Choose this Diaper

1. Super Absorbent ( No Leaks)
   
2. Trim Fitting ( Bring on those super cute Jeans I had to pack away because I could not stuff your butt into them with GAD you Squeeze in)
3. Affordable ( Which is great considering when you have one, it is hard not to purchase more...add to cart)

3. Amazing colour choices ( "Colour" I'm Canadian that's how we spell it :)
3. Have I mentioned the Beautiful Embroidery? (if not stay tuned I will fill you in)
3.Snaps ( I love the side snaps, Easy Peasy)
3. The insert ( Goes in super easy...even my 4 year old can stuff this diaper....and he does)

I could go on and on.. I am very impressed with the overall Quality of The GAD, The trim fit, and the No-Leak all appeal to me.. A Cloth Diapering Momma!!

Embroidery... You have the option of choosing to have your GAD's embroidered, You seriously have to take a look . I am defiantly going to be purchasing more GAD's and I want to have at least one embroidered.. I like this one
Speaking of my little stinker here is Aiden showing off his very cute GAD



And of course a side view!!

Rockin'Green Review and Give Away~CLOSED~

Aiden's Cloth Diapers have been De-Funked...Seriously...We have hard water, and the build up in the diapers was unreal. I was stressing over a wash routine that would eliminate the build-up and get rid of the STINK left in the inserts. This left me washing and then rinsing with calgon, every~other week stripping the diapers with dawn dish detergent... but it had to coincide with everything, when I was stripping the diapers I would need to make sure that we had nothing else going on that day.


I am hard core cloth diapering momma, build up was not going to stop me from using cloth diapers, but I was being held hostage on my diaper stripping days every other week.... THERE MUST BE AN EASIER WAY!!!!



Rockin' Green is the easy was to wash your precious, hard working, money invested cloth diapers..What can I say we got De-Funked


I remember it like it was yesterday, It was a cold rainy morning in November, I was still in my pajamas and housecoat, when at the door was the postal delivery woman, with a package.. My Rockin' Green Has Arrived... I was so excited, I called my husband at work, who didn't really share my enthusiasm over cloth diaper detergent!!!


First Time User: the mission is to de-funk your diapers! To get rid of built up minerals and left over detergent do the following:
1. Fill your washer with hot water and 3 Tbsp of Rockin’ Green, along with your diapers.
2. Let it soak for approximately 30-60 minutes. Then launder as usual. If you have a HE machine, you may have to consult your manual but you can usually do a soak by pressing the start or pause button.
*Tip: Repeat this process anytime you need a good deep-cleaning. If your diapers have excessive buildup or residue, it may take a few soaks to get them in good condition.



~ I let the diapers soak for 1 hour only and 5 months of build up (lets face I never really had them build up free) came off. We are super absorbent, stink free, and looking forward to the next wash because Monkey Snacks Scent is sooo Yummy! I have to add though, after the was cycle there is no scent remaining on the diaper...the good news that means the detergent is working you don't want to smell anything on your diapers.

Washing diapers and clothing should not be a complicated ordeal. Forget everything that you have heard, and keep it simple. You don‘t need extra boosters or add-ons with Rockin’ Green

BOOGIE WIPES Review and Give Away~CLOSED~

I have had an opportunity to review "Boogie Wipes", With the cold season upon us I was thrilled to receive these wipes. These wipes are a moist wipe with saline, which as we all know is great when battling those stuffy noses.. These wipes were strong enough for the ooey gooey nose of a seven year old, got lots of giggles and begging for a boogie wipe from a 4 year old (he seriously thought that me calling the wipe a boogie wipe was the funnest thing) and gentle enough for my 4 month old son's nose. The convenient size package fits nicely in a purse or diaper bag when on the go, yet the wipe itself is a great size for getting the job done!!. We put these wipes to the test and they passed.. Love this product!

From the Boogie Wipes website:

Boogie Wipes are the latest innovation in a moist wipe product for busy moms, dads & kids. With added saline, they offer quick, gentle, effective relief of stuck on Boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold & allergies.
Hypoallergenic • Alcohol Free • Unique Formula Moisturizes with Added Chamomile, Vitamin E and Aloe • Gentle Enough for All Ages • Lightly Scented

A big thank you to the BOOGIE MOM"S for a Kid Tested, Mom Approved Product!!!

BUY IT: Hey if you want to buy some Boogie Wipes for your own family go here to find a retailer near you.

WIN IT: Boogie Wipes has generously offered a Judson Family Reader (2) packs of 30-count wipes (fresh, grape or menthol – combination varies).
