Review - VTech Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker

Works great as a walker, fun activities to do, good price.

Bought this for our daughter's 1st birthday and she loves it! The wheels have different settings so that you can tighten or loosen them depending on your child's walking abilities. Activities are fun (and we love that you can turn them off or on, and the volume low or high!) Takes up very little space, unlike other walkers we've had in the past. Easy to spot clean when it's dirty.

The "activity center" part comes off so our baby can sit down to play. Back legs/wheels come off fairly easily for storage. Wish the little phone had a cord attaching it to the activity center; it tends to get lost easily.

Has been a great toy for our baby. Would definitely buy again!

Review - Kidzuu Soft Sole Baby Infant Leather Crib Shoes White 3 Cherry Blossoms

Love the design, shoes are sturdy, and price is fantastic! Sizing is really off though.

Our daughter is 12 months, so we bought a size 12-18 months. They were HUGE on her! I measured her feet and they're about 4.25", so we bought a size 0-6 months. This pair fits her perfectly...right now. Her feet are growing quickly, though, so we'll have to get the next size up very soon.

Looks like we'll probably end up with 3 pairs of shoes in the exact same design. LOL! At least it's a cute design. :)

Would buy again, but check sizing.

Review - Twist and Shout Mop

LOVE this! It makes mopping fun!

Bought this to replace our very sad, very old Libman folding sponge mop (replacements for that cost $15!) I'm so very glad I did! We bought ours with the 8" handle extension and it's a great size for both me and my husband.

Set includes the mop, 2 mop heads (love that they're machine-washable!), and the bucket with the spinner.

Pros: mop head folds flat for easy storage. Mop spins easily and gets out excess water so that the floor dries really, really quickly! Mop fits under tables, chairs, & even the fridge to collect dirt and dust from everywhere. Mop head is a decent size and clean-up really is a lot easier. Bucket size is great!

Con: I wish the spinner had a shield because I sometimes get a bit of back splash when spinning the mop water out.

We've had our mop for 2 months now, and love it. Would definitely buy again!

Review - Multi-pocket Nylon Purse Insert Organizer - Pink

Great price, fits my purse well, helps a TON with organization!

Bought this to help organize my super-cluttered purse. It arrived fairly quickly and fits great. Lots of pockets for phone, wallet, chapstick, pen, notepad, camera, and etc. Love that it also has a large space in the middle for everything else that gets thrown into my purse.

Also, the handles make it really easy to switch it from one purse to another, or to take it out to clean the purse. I've had the organizer for a month and LOVE it!

Review - Ecomgear® Compact Mini USB Home Room Humidifier Air Purifier Freshener Travel Car Portable

Great little diffuser! Liked our first one so much that we bought another for a housewarming present.

Bought one of these for a trip to Europe in April. We loved using it in our hotel room! When we got home we bought another one for my sister and brother-in-law to use in a trailer. They love it too. :)

It's nice a compact; perfect for travel or small spaces. Turns itself off when it runs out of water. Uses a USB cord. The top fits tightly using a magnet. Fill it with water to the line inside, add a few drops of essential oils, put the top on, plug it in, press the green button on front and it starts working almost instantly!

Would definitely buy again.

Review - HDE Kids Light Weight Shock Proof Handle Case for Apple iPad 2/3/4 (Blue)

Has been a lifesaver for our iPad! With a few modifications it would be perfect.

Once upon a time, our toddler brought the iPad to us...in her mouth. In order to preserve said iPad, we bought this case. It protected the iPad through tantrums, bites, being thrown on the ground, and more. And we lived happily ever after!

The handle is a great size for our children. The case is made of a material that feels like a sturdy foam. It's held up really well for the past 6 months! It's a bit tricky to get the power cord plugged in, but after practice we can do it without removing the case.

Wish that the handle were able to bend back just a bit more; it's not very sturdy when put upright on a table or counter (tends to fall forward unless we weigh the handle down with something). But overall it's been a great case!

Review - Hyland's Homeopathic Teething Tablets

Love these teething tablets! Lifesaver for babies and their parents. :)

They dissolve easily in baby's mouth and start working fairly quickly. So much better than the oral gels. We've used these for 3 of our children and love them.

Would definitely buy again!

Review - Coleman Oak Point Large Cool-Weather Sleeping Bag

Material is comfortable but the sleeping bag isn't long enough.

Bought this for my 6'3" husband for an father/son overnight trip this past weekend. Unfortunately, my husband froze. :( With his feet all the way to the bottom of the bag, the top of it barely covered his shoulders. Will be exchanging it for something longer.

On the pro side: the material is comfortable and the bag rolls up easily. No problems with the zippers.

Wish it had a stuff sack, but that's not a deal-breaker. Would be a great bag for someone a bit shorter.

Review - Coleman Green Valley Cool-Weather Sleeping Bag

Perfect sleeping bag for our kids!

We bought 2 of these for a father/son camp out this past weekend. They worked great! The material is nice and soft. The bags kept our boys nice and warm (during a very windy night!). Fairly easy to roll up and they wash easily in the washing machine (gentle cycle, line dry).

Wish it came with a carrying bag, but other than that it's a great bag for kids.

Review - Kidzuu Soft Sole White Shoes 3 Cherry Blossoms 0-6M

Love these darling shoes, and the fit is fantastic!

Bought these for our 1-year-old and they're awesome! Be sure to measure your child's foot so you'll get the correct size (I bought shoes that were too big the first time around).

The design is adorable, leather is nice and supple but seems like it will last for a good while, and the bottoms are soft but not slippery. They're nice and wide, and the elastic in the front and back makes it much easier to put them on a squirmy baby.

Our girl is just learning to walk and these are the perfect shoes for her! Will be buying more when she grows out of these.

Review - Minecraft Core Steve Action Figure with Accessory

Decent price, cute little figure!

Bought this for a 10-year-old boy and he loves it! It's fairly small, but that was expected. The arms and legs move, and the pick axe fits great in Steve's hand. The block is cute (it doesn't open). We priced them at Walmart, Toys R Us, and Target. Best price was on Amazon.

Review - SentrySafe H2300 0.36 Cubic Foot Fire-Safe Waterproof Chest, Silver Gray

Great size, holds quite a lot, decent price.

We bought this safe mainly to protect important documents (birth certificates, social security cards, etc.) in the event of a fire. Bonus: it has a lock to help deter thieves.

I love that the inside is big enough to hold legal-sized documents without folding them. It's deep enough to hold a good-sized bundle of papers, as well as CDs, DVDs, memory sticks, external hard drive...even jewelry!

The safe is heavy, so it's not meant to be carted around everywhere. We found a little corner in which to store ours. It comes with 2 keys, which is great for those of us who tend to misplace things. :)

It takes a little bit of practice to get the lid to open (tip: make sure it's unlocked, then use one hand to push down on the top of the lid while the other hand pushes up on the red latch.)

Overall, it seems to be a good investment! Hopefully we never have a fire to put it to the test, but it does give me some peace of mind.

Review - Star Wars Fighter Pods Rampage Figure 16 Pack

Great price; awesome figures!

I bought these to use as decorations for my son's birthday cake. He was thrilled! It made for a very easy, fun cake. He's been collecting Fighter Pods and loved being able to play with them after his party.

Would definitely buy again!

Review - Teva Women's Tirra Athletic Sandal Black/Grey

My new favorite sandals! Absolutely LOVE them!

I bought these for a trip to Europe. They arrived about a week before we left and I was expecting to have to wear them for a few days to break them in. To my surprise, I tried them on, they fit perfectly, and they were extremely comfortable from the get-go!

I've been wearing them almost daily for the past month and a half, and they still look brand new!

The velcro straps are great for getting a perfect fit (good if you have long, narrow feet like I do), colors are wonderful, they feel fantastic, and they wash up well.

I'd been using a different type of Teva for the past few years and thought I'd try something new. I'm so glad I did!

I'll be buying a back-up pair of these!

Review - Levana Oma Clip-On Portable Baby Movement Monitor with Audible Alarm, White/Orange

Works great; love the piece of mind it gives to this paranoid mama!

We've been using this almost nightly for the past month and LOVE it! Our 1-year-old is in a co-sleeper, transitioning to a crib, and this works great for her. We attach it to her diaper and then swaddle her and put her to sleep. So far, no false alarms (like we occasionally had with the Snuza Go!) and I'm able to relax and sleep at night.

The directions are fairly simple. The monitor is lightweight and the tip that touches their skin is nice and soft. The whole thing is easy to wipe clean with a gentle cloth. The batteries have lasted quite awhile already, and the green blinking light (to let you know when they take a breath) is nice and bright.

Would definitely purchase again!

Book Review - Oh, The Places You'll Go!

A classic! I love the rhyming, drawings, and especially the uplifting message.

One of my friends told me about a cute idea: ask all of your child's teachers to sign it (in secret) and present it to your child when they graduate. LOVE this idea, so I bought 2. One for each of my school-aged children.

Their teachers have been really sweet about signing it, and I love reading the kind things they're saying about my children. I'm excited to present the books to my kiddos in the future!
