ERGObaby Review

Tweet

When you go to the Mall or on a Hike do you HATE pushing around a stroller? Is your child too heavy to carry and too big for a sling or a wrap? You need a toddler carrier like the ones at ERGObaby. 

We were sent a lovely ERGObaby carrier for review. This carrier will get plenty of use around here. When I'm making a quick trip to the mall, when We go to the zoo and I'm sure plenty of other places as well

The front hold is more so for an infant, But I think if you know your child might fall asleep while on the trip it's better for them than being on your back. Also the Green thing in the first picture is a Sleeping Hood. If the child falls asleep simply take it out of the pocket and it snaps right to the straps. It prevents the head from falling over and getting uncomfortable!

I love this carrier. It's so comfortable and because it has 2 straps it distributes the weight evenly. It's been tested up to 40 pounds but has been not professionally tested up to 90 pounds, which is awesome!

Avery is only 28 pounds so I know we still have some time left for using this carrier!

ERGObaby began marketing baby carriers in January 2003. Since that time our corporate mission has been to educate and support parents about Babywearing and Attachment Parenting guidelines. In keeping with that mission, we are devoting our homepage to topics we feel are of great importance. The resources listed below have helped us and our friends in the process of becoming new parents. Our hope is that these topics contribute to your knowledge and your ability to improve the way your babies are introduced into our culture and cared for as they develop.

ERGObaby products were designed to support our mission and to make Babywearing easier from infant to toddler with our HandsFree System. It is for these reasons I am compelled to share these parenting resources with you. Please let us know if you find them helpful.

There's also some articles linked on the site for Attachment Parenting, as well as Co-Sleeping vs sleeping on their own. You might want to check it out!

Pictures from our Vacation!

Tweet

Here's some pictures of our vacation and this is probably where our Wedding Ceremony and Reception will be. It will be easy to go from Ceremony to Reception to hotel room after. No limo needed so that's saving a little bit of money! We have our invite list made up and so far we're at 48 people. WOW! I didn't realize how small our families were until I made up that list. Crazy! Oh well, Cost will be cheaper!

Front of the hotel

Back of the Hotel

Whole hotel was Imported Marble. Floors, vanity, bathrooms, Elevator floors Everything was Marble! It was GORGEOUS!

And here's one of Avery being silly

We had so much fun and it was fun to get away for the weekend!

Here's some updated Pictures of our St. Bernard Bella! 
She's 14 1/2 weeks old now! She's grown so much!

Here she was at 10 weeks when we got her

And here she is yesterday at 14 1/2 weeks

She's growing so fast. She's already gained 12 pounds in those 5 weeks. She's almost DOUBLED her size. It's nuts how fast she's growing!

She's doing so well with potty training. She's crate trained and goes out about 5 times a day and does all her business. She's so well trained and she starts puppy classes on Saturday. Once those are over she will be getting spayed which is covered because we have her on the puppy plan at our vet.

Avery loves her and the love is mutual. They love each other!

eShakti Review

Tweet

I'm always on the hunt for fashionable, affordable, comfortable clothing. I love trying out new clothes and new brands and I love trying out new fashions. 

When I got the chance to review for eShakti I was elated. I couldn't express how excited I was to review for this wonderful company!

eShakti was kind enough to send over the Asymmetric Collar Wool Jacket. I am so pleased with this jacket. The best part? I Gave them my Measurements and they made it SPECIFICALLY FOR ME!!! How awesome is that? I didn't just have to choose a size S or M. This was easy for me because It was made FOR ME! This jacket fits me perfectly and why wouldn't it with custom dimensions right?

It does look a little bulky on me, but It is a wool jacket and Jackets are supposed to be a little roomy. I was wearing a t-shirt under this where as normally it's a sweater so that takes up room.

My only downfall with this jacket is that there's NO POCKETS. Which is fine if I'm just wearing this to a friend's house or something quick. But if I'm going shopping I want something with pockets for my receipts and stuff that I have to quickly shove somewhere. 

Their mission is "To make every customer look her best by providing amazing drape and always carrying any size she wants, and by letting her change the style too to suit herself"

I think that's Awesome!

Price: This jacket is just $89.99. Which I think is good. Have you ever seen a Wool Pea Coat for that price? I don't think I have. 

eShakti offers a large selection of stylish clothing for women in sizes 0-26W. You're not only going to find a look that suits your taste, but also a size that fits you perfectly! What I was most impressed with, was the fact that they offer custom sizes, as well as standard sizes. That means for just 10 dollars more, they will customize any piece to fit your shape perfectly. They want to make every woman look her best and feel comfortable in what she's wearing.

Overall: ***** 5 stars. Seriously what would be more great than a company that offers you TAILORED sizes as well as standard and they're great quality?
Worth the 5 stars is you ask me!

SnorgTees Review

Tweet

SnorgTees has funny t-shirts for the family. Women, Men and Kids. They also have funny hoodies. For those of you that watch American Idol like I do, you'll definitely like the New tee Pants On The Ground. I love Snorg Tees tee shirts.

The one they sent me for a review was the Will Work For Shoes tee. I love this shirt. I love shoes and this one suited me best. Don't you think?
Sorry it's blurry

This tee is so soft and fitted. I normally wear a small, but ordered a Medium and it fits perfectly. A small wouldn't have fit me at all. 

From The Website:

Welcome. SnorgTees got its start back in May 2004 when our group of friends decided that we weren't meant for a real job. We got our options narrowed down to international jewel thieves or internet t-shirt tycoons. Since it was the middle of the summer, we weren't able to find enough ski masks, which left t-shirts as our only option. Fast forward a few years and we've grown to the point where people mistake us for an actual business. We've even shipped a shirt to NASA. That means space. So technically we're a universal company. But we are still just a group of friends who run Snorg because we enjoy it.

Here at Snorg, we specialize in pop-culture inspired, random, and all around funny t-shirt designs. Most of the designs on our site are SnorgTees employee creations. But while we think of about 72% of what goes up on the site, 28% of the awesome design ideas come from you, our customers. So if you think you've got a great idea, send it our way.

We strive for constant improvements, and it's thanks to you that we're where we are today. So go out there and spread the good word about SnorgTees to everyone you know. Stop strangers in the street and tell them where they can replace that ugly piece of cloth they call a shirt with a genuine Snorg Tee. And don't forget to send in pictures of you showing off your SnorgTees around town. Remember, when you're wearing Snorg, all your pictures look good.  

Overall: This shirt is soft, comfortable, washed well and it's just $18.95. Any tee is that price. Why not have a cute tee?

**** 1/2 star!! Love the quality

Clean Rest Review

Tweet

At CleanRest® our sole mission is to help you get a better night’s sleep. And not just better, but healthier. We design and manufacture the world’s most advanced and medically effective allergy bedding-barrier products.

How it happened...

As a concerned parent whose child suffered from nighttime breathing difficulties, Gary Goldberg, the inventor of CleanRest®, used three generations of his family’s textile manufacturing background to develop the solution. The result is a fabric with a weave so tiny no allergen or liquid can penetrate it—and  so comfortable and breathable, you virtually don’t know it’s there. Even more important, CleanRest® is why my wife and I can now rest easy, knowing that our child is sleeping safely.

Sweet dreams start with healthy sleep—and we wish you the best.

What is CleanRest®?

CleanRest® is a family of products designed to provide the user with the cleanest, healthiest sleep possible. CleanRest® features an advanced technology called MicronOne™, which offers the highest level of protection available today. It protects you from all microscopic toxins that exist naturally in every bed and pillow.  Each square inch of the patented MicronOne™ fabric contains about 3 billion pores; a weave so tiny moisture can’t get in and micro-toxins can’t get to you. It creates a breathable, yet effective barrier between you and what’s in your bedding. CleanRest® provides protection from bed bugs and bed wetting, creating the cleanest and safest sleep environment possible.

CleanRest® products include mattress encasements, pillow encasements, allergy free pillows, travel pillows, comforters and duvet encasements, which all give complete 360° coverage against allergens. This revolutionary new product is the quickest, simplest way to improve your sleep.

Clean Rest was kind enough to send me an ENTIRE bedding set. This included 2 Pillows, a Mattress Encasement, and Box Spring Encasement. I'm so pleased with this set. I like that it also includes the box spring encasement for extra protection. We have the Sleep Number bed so the Mattress encasement wouldn't go on all the way because of the tubes at the head of the bed, but it's on there and it's not coming off. This encasement goes all around and slips on the bed and then it zips at the top. Same with the box spring encasement. 

It's been on the bed for 1 week now, and I've noticed a MAJOR difference in my breathing. When I wake up I'm not all stuffed up like I normally am. I've noticed a significant difference and so has Jon. I'm very pleased with this set. 

MicronOne^® is a revolutionary new fabric that blocks even the tiniest allergens and microtoxins.
