Plum Organics Giveaway!



I received items from Plum Organics for the purpose of this review
If you have infants and toddlers, you've probably heard of Plum Organics. They specialize in organic baby and toddler food and snacks. I have loved their products since the first time I've tried them. So I was super excited to get to review some new (to us) products of theirs. 

I received a little package that contained some Slam Dunx, Fruit Straws, Morning Mashups and a Yogurt Mashup

Stride Rite Review



I received an item from Stride Rite for the purpose of this review
More than likely if you have children you've heard of Stride Rite. They make wonderful children's shoes that are meant for their growing feet and are very high quality so they can be passed down from child to child or cousin to cousin. 

We had the opportunity recently to review a pair for Emerson. They sent us a new Monster's University pair and they are just the cutest shoes!



Zoey's Attic Giveaway!



I received an item from Zoey's Attic for the purpose of this review

I have a review a shirt through them before when we found out Avery was going to be a big sister. So of course I contacted them again when I found out Emerson was going to be a big brother!!

Zoey's Attic makes a ton of adorable and affordable custom clothes for your children and yourself. They also make plenty of accessories such as Dog t-shirts, tooth fairy pillows, Birth Posters, Leg Warmers and much much more!

We received the Big Brother To Be- Elephant shirt and I'm totally in love with it.

Jack & Lily Shoes Giveaway!



I received an item from Jack & Lily for the purpose of this review
We have reviewed Jack & Lily shoes before in the past. We reviewed the My Shoes which are a sturdier sole. But this time I opted to review their originals line which are the soft soles and we love them!

They came out with some new styles in May so it was perfect timing to get a new pair. We received the Whales and we got them in a 6-12 month since their originals run a bit big.



Summer Cloth Diaper Hop Sponsor Spotlight- Gaia's Treasures



I received an item from Gaia's Treasures for the purpose of this review

Our final is Gaia's Treasures. For the Baby event we did a few months back, Tera was kind enough to send me her new AI2, but this time around she was willing to offer a fitted for me to try.

Summer Cloth Diaper Sponsor Spotlight- Rock-A-Bums



I received items from Rock-A-Bums for the purpose of this review



Even though this event has already taken off, I still have some spotlights to write. This company took a bit of time letting me know what was for the giveaway so I didn't want to write the review until I knew what they were giving away. 
2 Spotlights are left after this one and that's because I just got the diapers THIS WEEK!!! 

Rock-A-Bums is a fairly new company that makes a 5-in-1 diaper. You're probably thinking, "WHAT?" How on earth do they do that right? 
Well here's how!
I received 4 diapers and 2 wet bags to try out!
They also make a red diaper and wet bag.

Summer Cloth Diaper Giveaway Hop Sponsor Spotlight- Wee Pea Originals



I received an item from Wee Pea Originals for the purpose of this review


This is probably one of my favorite diapers in this hop. I received this diaper a few weeks ago and so far I'm totally in love with it. We got it from Wee Pea Originals (I LOVE the name). And it's been amazing.

She sent me a diaper and 3 flannel wipes!

10 weeks!!



Can you all believe I'm already 10 weeks pregnant??? I can't. It seems to be flying by!!

My next appt is next Monday and hopefully we hear a heartbeat.

I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks because I had been spotting, but baby measured 6w5d and everything looked great.
Based on that US and this one method I think it's a girl.
Here's that US
The little balloon at the top is the yolk sac.

Here are my 10w pictures!!

PinkBlush Maternity Giveaway!



I received an item from PinkBlush for the purpose of this review

I've worked with this company a couple times in the past, they were under a different name then, but the quality is wonderful. I wore their clothes when I was pregnant with Emerson (just 2 years ago) and I will wear them again this pregnancy. But it was still exciting to get something new. This time from PinkBlush Maternity I received the Blue Striped Top Maxi Dress.

National Geographic is at it again!! This time with the 2014 Kids Almanac. I remember as a kid looking through National Geographic magazines and the Almanac as well. They were great for learning and teaching and I was so happy to be able to review one for Avery.

2013 Mazda5



Are you looking for a smaller version of a minivan? Something that still holds more people than the average sedan, gets great gas mileage, but still has cargo space? The Mazda5 just might be what you're looking for.
