I was so happy to be chosen as an Official Huggies Tester!  Huggies sent me their Snug & Dry Diapers with NEW SureFit Design and Natural Care Wipes with NEW Triple Clean Layers.  I have always been a Huggies mom and use only Huggies diapers on my babies.  I currently have a 10 month old baby girl in diapers so I was thrilled at the chance to try these new products out on her.

huggiessnug&drydiapers

Huggies® Snug & Dry Diapers offer long-lasting protection you can count on, so you can focus on all your little one’s daily adventures. Plus, they come with new SureFit* Design added leakage protection.

  • Only Huggies® Snug & Dry Diapers have New SureFit* Design for up to 12 hours of leakage protection
  • SnugFit* Waistband for All-Around Fit
  • Now closer-to-body fit to move with baby’s twists and turns
  • Now softer outer cover”

I noticed on the package it says they “provide up to 12 hours of protection”, I knew right away that I had the perfect baby to test this out since my baby girl sleeps for 12 hours each night (I know I’m super lucky!).  So I put baby girl in these diapers and was very impressed by the result.  They fit her great and I love how they hug her waist and legs providing great protection.  Baby girl sleeps for 12 hours and doesn’t leak!  Not once has she had a leak while wearing these diapers!  Even during the day when she fills her diaper more often she has not had a leak.  I am super impressed and so happy with them!  They are available in sizes 1-6.

HUGGIES Natural Care® Wipes offer a sensitive, gentle clean for new baby’s naturally perfect skin and now they’re available in a stylish designer tub that’s handy in any room!

  • Soft, sensitive clean
  • Aloe & Vitamin E
  • Hypoallergenic, fragrance free and alcohol-free”

I love Huggies Natural Care Wipes.  They are perfect for baby’s sensitive skin, and they do a great job of cleaning baby at diaper change time, feeding time, boogie time, pretty much all messes baby makes.  I love the new designer tub.  It can lay flat or stand tall, it’s the perfect size to keep around in different rooms of the house and looks cute as well!

HUGGIES Little Movers Slip On Diaper Pants Review #FirstFit

imageI can hardly believe my baby girl is already 10 and a half months old. It seems like she was just born. Where did the time go?  It went by too fast for sure, but we are loving the age she is at now.  She has just learned how to pull herself up to standing and has started walking a long furniture a little.  She is on the move now, there is no stopping her!

IMG_2182

I was thrilled when Huggies (via Mom Central) sent us 2 big packs of their Little Movers Slip on Diaper Pants to review.  Diapers are definitely something we go through quickly with baby.

huggiesslipondiapers

With these diapers you can slip them on baby while she is standing, no need for a laying down change.  This is priceless with a baby who is on the move and doesn’t want to be laid down for a change.  It’s great!  During a regular diaper change I am usually fighting baby girl to let me put her diaper on at the end since she has reached her ‘holding still’ time limit.  With these diapers it’s fine that she gets impatient and gets up. I just slip them on her! I am loving these slip on diapers.

IMG_2179IMG_2186

They have tabs on the side so you can easily open the diaper for a change.  This is great for poopy changes cause you need to be able to open it on each side to remove it.

IMG_2181IMG_2190

The fit of these diapers is very good.  The don’t require any adjusting and hug baby comfortably. They provide great protection from leaks just like the other Huggies Diapers I use do.  These diapers are so great for my busy little baby girl! They are available in sizes 3, 4 & 5.

Tommee Tippee 360 Sealer Diaper Disposal System Review and Giveaway [closed]

TT2Diapers have been a part of my life for about 8 years. During those 8 years, I haven’t ever owned a diaper disposal system…..I did it the hard way. You know….walking the diaper to the outside garbage multiple times a day. I was sent a Tommee Tippee 360 Sealer Diaper Disposal System to review and it has certainly made my days a little easier!

tommee2

The 360 sealer diaper disposal system from Tommee Tippee is a new innovation in odor control! Super seal technology individually seals dirty diapers in odor trapping film. Pail comes fully assembled and the film is quick and easy to set up so you’ll be sealing dirty diapers in seconds. Each refill seals up to 100 diapers (of any size). Easy to use – just drop the diaper in the top and twist the dial to seal it away. No need to push your hand inside ensures a less messy and more hygienic disposal. The pail holds up to 30 diapers* and when it is full, it is easy to empty with no need to disassemble -just pull out the EasiSlide drawer & tear the film to take it out to the trash. *based on newborn size diapers. 

tommeetippie

I was pretty excited when my Tommee Tippee 360 Sealer Diaper Disposal System arrived on my doorstep! I immediately took it out of the box to set it up. It came fully assembled, all I had to do was set up the super sealTT1 refill rolls by interlocking the plastic rolls, and then seal the two ends of the plastic. Then I laid it into the diaper pail and turned the dial until the plastic was nice and tight. I was ready to start sealing smelly diapers! :)

The Tommee Tippee 360 Sealer Disposal System is very easy to use. All I do is open the lid, put in the diaper, close the lid to push the diaper down, and turn the dial a full 360′. The antimicrobial film seals each diaper so that the odor gets locked in. I don’t have to empty the pail until about 20-25 diapers have been sealed. When I do empty it, all I do is slide the compartment out and throw they diapers (encased in the plastic film) into the garbage. So easy and clean!!

The Tommee Tippee 360 Sealer Diaper Disposal System is in my daughters room and I haven’t noticed any odor coming from the pail. It has truly sealed the dirty diapers and prevents any smell from escaping. With her room being upstairs, it is so nice not to have to carry her diapers all the way downstairs and out into the garage every time I change her. I love having the Tommee Tippee 360 Sealer Diaper Disposal System and only wish I had owned one when ALL of my kids were in diapers!

“You can’t wish diaper odor away, but with the new and innovative tommee tippee 360° Sealer Diaper Disposal System – Four Refills, you can individually seal each diaper all the way around in an antimicrobial film to help lock in odor. The system is easy to set up, easy to use and easy to empty so you’ll be sealing diapers in seconds.”

TT

Things that are BRAG WORTHY:

  • Pail comes fully assembled with four included refills
  • Drop the diaper in the top and twist the dial to seal
  • Super Seal technology seals diapers in a film treated with Biomaster antimicrobial protection to help control bacterial odor
  • Film is simple to tear for fast, hassle-free emptying
  • EasiSlide drawer offers easy opening when it’s time to empty the pail
  • Pail holds up to 30 newborn-size diapers
  • Refills seal up to 100 diapers each

The Snug Bug Baby Travel Changing Mat Review and Giveaway (2 winners!)

I have a strange obsession when we are out in public and I need to change one of my children’s diaper. I am obsessed with never letting their bodies touch any part of the area I am changing them on. I mean if I do not have a changing mat with me well then I find something else to lay them on. I have laid them on my coats, their blankies, a LOT of toilet paper, paper towels, and anything else I can find that is more sanitary. Its just one of my obsessive compulsive behaviors when it comes to the cleanliness of my children. When I was asked to review The Snug Bug Baby Travel Changing Mat I was very happy to accept! I will try out any changing mat that I can find. We lose a lot of them because my husband has a bad habit of forgetting to repack the changing pad after he uses it. So we have said goodbye to MANY many changing mats in the past 4 years or so.

snugbugnamebanner

The Snug Bug Baby Travel Changing Mat that I picked out was called “Moxie”. Ironically that is the name of one of my closest friends daughter. Its a really pretty simple design that I thought I would be able to use for a boy or a girl even though it has a peachish pinkish color in the design. The Snug Bug Baby Travel Changing Mat arrived fairly fast after I was told about the review. The Baby Travel Changing Mat arrived rolled up and I was right away really please by the size of it when it is rolled up. I was also happy that there was a little snap to keep it rolled up so that it would not just unfold or unroll on its own in the bag I carry it in. I do not always like to take a big diaper bag with me to places. Especially lately I have actually been in the transition of finding a new diaper bag because I wore my old one out. So the size of The Snug Bug Baby Travel Changing Mat fits perfectly in a number of my purses. I can slip a diaper or two, some travel wipes, and the Travel Changing Mat in a purse and just do some quick errands with the kids. I took a photo of the mat rolled up next to a box of Pasta Roni to show you the size proportions.

IMG_4411 IMG_4410

I really love The Snug Bug Baby Travel Changing Mat because not only does it help put a barrier between my babies skin and the dirty surface of a public changing table but it also wipes clean very fast and easily. Just take an extra wipe while you are out and wipe it down and you can sterilize it if you feel it necessary when you get home. Then you fold The Snug Bug Baby Travel Changing Mat in half, roll it up an secure it with the strap that has a snap to hold it shut. Its genius! I love portable sized baby necessities that you have to carry around when you go out with your baby. Really makes life easier not to have to lug around a huge heavy diaper bag as well as your growing, not so tiny anymore baby!

PinkMatWindow_lg

I also really liked that The Snug Bug company offers quite a few different color designs to choose from and they are not the usual baby blue and powder pink options. They are really classy modern print designs. They also carry other baby necessities on their website that I may have to look into purchasing for future use or baby shower gifts! I was also really excited that this was made by such a reputable company that cares about the quality of the products that they are selling.

My Diapering Days Are Over- Now It’s Time to Laugh!

I am so incredibly overjoyed to announce that we are fully diaper free in our household!! It’s literally a miracle. 5 years ago I had my first sweet little boy,  Harrison. As a nanny in my previous years, I wasn’t too afraid of diapers. And of course there were some doosys. Some places I never imagined cleaning poop out of. But I had no idea how tough it was to have two in diapers! Exactly 11.5 months after Harrison was born, I had my second, Ruben. It was crazy! Harrison wasn’t even walking yet, and my years of 2 in diapers dragged on… It was funny how quickly I stopped using the changing table. I know some people stick to it forever, but I started changing on the floor or couch almost right away. Changing that many a day made it easier to just do it wherever I was! =) I actually tried potty training them at the same time, hoping for the best. Harrison took to it like a champ, but Ruben was fully uninterested.

Contemplating the little nugget Mom and Dad brought home… =)

I even cloth diapered for a while. Do any of you cloth diaper? My mom literally thought I was crazy. But it just made sense to me, especially when it came to not having to buy disposable diapers. I kind of cloth diapered at home, and used disposable when we went out. I think that saved me from a few outrageous stories. =) But in general I really loved it. It saved money, it kept a few diapers out of the landfills, and is there anything cuter than little baby butts in bright colors and fun patterns?

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Baby Muffin top! =)

 

Only within the last few months has Ruben FINALLY stopped using the pull on diapers. We had tried EVERYTHING to get him to go #2 on the potty, but had absolutely no luck. Can you tell he’s my stubborn child? I have heard so many negative things about using pull on diapers, but at the end of the day, I didn’t care. I was tired of cleaning out poop from underwear. I say, do what works for you! I was willing to have it last a little longer if it meant throwing away a few less pairs of underwear… Finally, out of nowhere, he just made the decision on his own to start pooping on the potty. It’s been a joyous time in our house!

The worst experience I ever had was at a pool with the swim diapers… which really do nothing when there’s a major #2. I was so embarrassed, and with two kids so young near the water, I was all panicked and just made the most terrible mess.

The sad thing is, as happy as I am to have those days behind me, I still miss those babies, diapers and all!

Do you have any funny or outrageous diaper stories? I know there’s gotta be some good ones out there!

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Huggies. I received product samples to facilitate my review and to thank me for my participation. All opinions are my own.

Having a toddler can at times be overwhelming.  Don’t get me wrong, it is also such a fun experience.  Right now my toddler is going through the independent phase.  “I do it” or “I don’t want to” are common phrases heard in my home.

Diaper changing time is always a struggle.  She just DOES NOT want to lay still for me while I change her. Ugghh! So the Huggies Slip-On Diapers have been a life saver!

image

Huggies Slip-Ons Diapers do exactly as they say, they slip on.  You put them on your little one just like you would underpants.  This is great because you can do it while they are standing.  My toddler loves this!  She doesn’t feel like she has to lay still while I put her diaper on, she is standing up and ready to go.  It really makes diaper change time SO MUCH EASIER for me. These Slip-on diapers are designed with busy and active walkers in mind.

image

I had actually tried Huggies Slip-On Diapers with her back when she was younger.  I liked them back then, but love them even more now.  I think now that she is more active I am really seeing the benefit of these diapers.

I really like the fit they provide.  The sides are stretchy so they fit snuggly and comfortably on my daughter. 

image

When it is time to take them off you can slip them off or you can pull apart the tabs and take it off as you would a standard diaper.  I also like that they re-stick so when I roll up the dirty diaper I can stick them around it just like I would a standard diaper.

image

I have been really impressed with how well these diapers hold up. They have a Leak Lock System for leakage protection, and stopping guards around the legs and waist to keep wetness in. It all works! When we have been out running errands she has gotten a pretty full diaper and never once have we had any leaks.  That is so great and a must for me as a mom!  They also have quick absorbing layers and a long-lasting core that locks in wetness so your baby stays dry.

Huggies Slip-On Diapers are available in sizes 3-6, look for them online or in your local store.

How Do Diaper Genie Refills Compare To Other Brands?

$

I have received this product for review and I am being compensated as a member of the Playtex Mom Trust Program, all opinions are my own.

I have always been a fan of Diaper Genie systems.  I have used them with both of my babies and love that they make disposing of stinky diapers so easy and keep the bad smells in the pail.

I was sent the Diaper Genie Elite with Carbon Filter. “The Ultimate Odor Lock system features a 7-layer refill bag, double clamp and anti-microbial pail, now with activated carbon filter to absorb and lock in strong diaper odors.”

image

I love this Diaper Pail and it really does lock in odors so well!  My favorite feature is that it opens with a press of your foot and you toss the diaper in.  I really like that I don’t have to press the diaper in with my hand. So much less gross than other pails I have used.

Since I am now enjoying my new diaper pail, I am wondering, how do other brands of refills compare to the Diaper Genie refills?  Brands like Nursery Fresh say on the package “Compare to Diaper Genie Refills”.  But how do they TRULY compare?

20140512_113610

I placed both in my Diaper Genie Elite pail and there is a big difference!

The nursery fresh refill doesn’t really even fit in the pail.  It is really hard to push down, and even then doesn’t completely sit where it should.  But the biggest problem I had with it, is that the lid doesn’t even close when the nursery fresh refill is in.  That is not good since the lid needs to be closed to keep those nasty odors out.

image

Here you can see the nursery fresh refill (above) and the Diaper Genie refill (below) and how the lids look closed with each inside.  The Diaper Genie refill fits perfectly, is very easy to place, and most importantly the lid closes tight.

image

When you look at the 2 refill packs side by side, you can see that the nursery fresh refill is just flat on top, and the Diaper Genie refill is shaped to create a seal once the lid is closed.

20140512_113637

For me there is no question that the Diaper Genie refills are the way to go. You can find more information about Diaper Genie refills and pails at playtexbaby.com/diaper-genie

Right now when you buy Diaper Genie refills you can get a Spafinder gift card!

My daughter just turned two!  Wow, the time flew by for me.  It seems like she was just born and now she is talking, running around, climbing, and in a toddler bed.  It is bitter sweet.  Bitter because I want more time with her as a baby and sweet because I love seeing her explore this world.  Everything is new, everything is exciting.  Ever think the world is a boring place?  Explore it through the eyes of a toddler.   No detail is to small, and of course we must know “what’s that?” and “why?” to everything around us.

She is a busy two year old and loves to be moving.  She is in a mommy and me gymnastics class and has a blast running around, climbing, hanging, balancing, and swinging.

image

Since she is active I like knowing that she is wearing a diaper that is designed with her moving in mind.  That is why I LOVE Huggies Little Movers diapers.  They have a “snug fit waistband and all around stretchy fit” so your little one can keep moving and still get the protection from leaks.

image

I have always been a Huggies mom.  They are my favorite diapers and I have been using them since my son was born (he is now 6).  I am always excited when I see new improvements to their diapers.  Making something that is already great into something that is excellent.  I appreciate that they never stop improving their diapers.  New to the Huggies little movers diapers are the Double Grip Strips.

“Huggies Little Movers are made with new Double Grip Strips, soft, durable Velcro strips on the sides and front diaper panel, for an all-around comfort that lasts during those exciting moving moments.”

image

If you have used Huggies Little Movers before then you will notice that the purple strip is new.  I like it.  It is an extra way to make sure the diaper stays on and in place as your little mover makes big moves.  My daughter likes the comfortable fit and feel of these diapers, and I love that no matter how active she gets we don’t have leaks.

Huggies Little Movers diapers are available at Target both online and in stores.

As a mom have you ever left the house without diapers and wipes?

Ahhhhhh it’s the worst.  I always grab the diaper bag but sometimes I forget to re-stock it with the essentials.  Diapers and wipes.  With my first child I was usually pretty good at remembering but with my second I guess because I’m busier, or maybe due to mommy brain (or both) I seem to be a lot more forgetful.

20140715_162011

So, we were out on a school supply run (to get the MUST HAVE Amazing Spiderman 2 backpack, yes it had to say 2 on it :/ ) and my daughter decided to fill her diaper.  I HAD NO DIAPER AND NO WIPES! Yikes!  And it couldn’t have just been a little, no she filled the whole thing to the point that we would not be able to make it home or get in the car seat without a huge mess.  Worst feeling.  So as I stood in line trying to figure out what to do.  I was thinking “I might have a swim diaper in the car, and I guess I could wet paper towels from the bathroom”. 

The lady in line in front of me got a wiff of the nice present my daughter had left in her diaper and immediately started checking her toddler.  I told her it wasn’t hers that smelled, it was mine.  Then I began to complain that I didn’t even know what I was going to do since I was tragically diaper-less.  She didn’t hesitate for a second and gave me a diaper (which conveniently was my daughters size) and a bunch of wipes.  She saved the day!  Thank you so much lady in front of me at the store!  You are my hero! I glanced down at the diaper and saw it was Huggies, sweet that’s my favorite brand!

image

We went into the restroom and I laid my daughter on the changing table.  As I looked at the diaper she had given me I realized not only was it a Huggies diaper, but it was a Huggies Snug & Dry Plus diaper from Costco!  I smiled since I knew I would be writing about these diapers again and I loved knowing my new hero purchases them Smile and I have to admit I was glad it was a good diaper since we still had to check out and get home, and I didn’t need another “event”.

I snapped a quick picture of my daughter in the restroom wearing the “diaper of salvation” Winking smile to document my little adventure!

20140725_190025

I have only tried a few of the Huggies Snug & Dry Plus diapers and Natural Care Plus Wipes from Costco but I am impressed and I really like them!  They are both really great products.  I can see a huge benefit of buying them at Costco since not only do you get the bulk pricing (which face it; diapers and wipes are something you need a lot of with a baby) but you also get great Plus quality products!

You can purchase Huggies Snug & Dry Plus diapers and Natural Care Plus Wipes exclusively at Costco.

As a mom I am always trying to find ways to save money for our family.  One of the best ways to do this is to watch for great deals on items that our family buys regularly and are necessities.  Like toilet paper, shampoo, soap, food and of course baby diapers and wipes. Finding even small savings will add up for the year and make a difference in my families budget.image

That is why it is so great that the Huggies Snug & Dry Plus Diapers and Huggies Natural Care Plus Wipes are discounted right now (from 8/7-8/31/2014) at Costco.  Right now ALL Costco Members will receive an instant savings of $6 off these diapers and $5 off these wipes!  So now is definitely a great time to stock up on not only the diapers you will need now, but for in the future as well.

image

If you stock up on essential items for your family and for baby, like diapers, when times are good, then you will have a good stock in place should you fall on hard times and that is always nice to not have to buy those items.  When it comes to diapers be sure to purchase additional sizes keeping in mind how your child will grow.  I also really like having items we use a lot (like toilet paper & diapers) on hand since those are awful to run out of and require and immediate trip to the store which can be very inconvenient.

We have tried the Huggies Snug & Dry Plus Diaper and Natural Care Plus wipes that are available at Costco and I really like them.  Not only do you get a great price and a lot of diapers from Costco, but you get the Plus diapers and wipes making them an even greater value.

Oh the joys of potty training! It is an up and down process.  There have been several times now that we have begun the potty training process but it didn’t work out.  I thought my daughter was ready, she showed many signs.  But ultimately she wasn’t.  But that is totally fine with me.  I am all about waiting until my child is completely ready to train.  I don’t push it.  It worked great with my son and so I will wait with my daughter.  When she is ready it will happen.  And I am perfectly fine trying and waiting, whatever works for her.

Lately she has been noticing a lot more when she is going potty in her diaper.  She will tell me that she is going.  I am trying to help her to understand that she needs to tell me before she starts going so we can make it to the potty in time.  We have had a few times this round that she has been successful and made it to the potty.  I am so proud of her! image

Because it is not a quick process for us to potty train, I am all for wearing training pants.  I can’t have accidents that aren’t easy to clean up (I just don’t have time!).  So Pull-Ups are a must have for us.

My daughter loves the characters on her pack of Pull-Ups.  They feature Minnie Mouse, The Little Mermaid and Monsters Inc.  She was so excited when we opened the pack and she saw all her “friends” on her big girl training pants.

It really helps having training pants that make her excited to wear them.  That is what these do.  She will say, “now I want to wear Ariel” and loves picking them out.

I also love that Pull-Ups Big Kids Academy has so many great resources, tools and ways to make potty training fun.  This helps a lot as well.

image

Right now I am loving the Time to Potty app.  It has a timer to help remind you when it’s time to potty. I used to set a timer when I was training my son and it was super helpful.  So I love having an app on my phone that is super easy to use. When a potty break comes you get to celebrate with a mini game (over 40) and some have fun Disney characters.  My daughter loves this and it makes potty training even more fun!  Another great thing about the app is that it automatically adjusts with your child’s progress.  It’s really great.

I received a Diaper Changing Clutch for this review, all opinions are my own.

With my 3rd baby due in July I have learned a thing or 2 about changing little babies diapers. With my first I would try and avoid public places to change her, but obviously that didn’t work. So I would carefully take a blanket or paper towels and lay them down on the changing table to changer her. Well that didn’t work great either. I will say I have evolved as a Mom and now know that I can not live with out a Diaper Changing Clutch or pad!

3 Bees and Me has a great product called the Diaper Changing Clutch which will be super useful when I have this little one. What I love about this Diaper Changing Clutch is everything is right at my fingertips for changing. When I am out and about with my husband or girls I hate having to take the entire diaper bag into the restroom and then searching for a diaper and wipes. The diaper clutch folds out nicely and can be used as a changing pad with diapers and wipes stored on the inside!

I grabbed a big box of the Huggies Little Movers Plus Diapers.  I love that it is a nice big pack of diapers.  Since as you know, you can never have too many diapers handy when it comes to baby.  I also like that I don’t have to go out shopping for diapers as often when I get these packs from Costco.

I have loved using the New! Huggies Little Movers Plus Diapers with my daughter.  She is very active and always on the go.  It is one of the things I love about her little personality.huggiescoscto1

I really like that these Huggies Little Movers Plus Diapers are so soft and comfortable. And they provide a great fit and protection for all her activity.

I received several items from Ettel Bettel for this review, all opinions are my own.

PicMonkey Collage1

Being a 2 time almost 3 time Mom I want to make my life as simple and easy as possible, especially with a newborn. When going out with my kids and a newborn I want to make sure that I make it super easy. I used to bring everything into the bathroom when I had to change the baby, diaper bag and all. I have realized all I really need is a changing pad, diapers and wipes! I don’t need to carry everything inside.

What I love about the Diaper Clutch is that it holds all of my baby essentials in one easy clutch! I love that it can hold diaper cream, wipes, diapers and more all in one easy place!

IMG_4984I love the cute design and that the handle can be clipped onto the stroller or just set inside the diaper bag.

IMG_4990

I also received the Stroller Bag which I love! I love that it can be worn on the shoulder or clip right onto the stroller with the Leather Straps. The bottom of the bag also includes a mesh bottom so that crumbs can fall through! It’s perfect to carry anything that you need for babies or for older kids too!

Ettel Bettel is a creative concept based on a thoughtful approach to the parent-child lifestyle – aiming at making the adult’s life easier without forgetting the child’s perspective. Our line of kids-wear, as well as practical accessories and decor solutions, offers a smart simplicity based on functionality, comfort and style. Urban parents on-the-run enjoy practical stylistic adjustments and unexpected twists, while kids, due to the simple shapes and relaxed fit, move unencumbered and play freely.

 Ettel Bettel uses only the highest quality natural materials, mostly organic cotton, to achieve the best performance, feel, ease and durability in each item of clothing. Our fabrics are carefully treated to prevent pilling, shrinkage, and color fade. The final product reveals our constant attention to quality and detail, from the labels and trims to the prints which are water-based only. In other words we’ve designed kids-wear that looks fine, feels softer and lives longer tailored to the parent’s needs and the child’s comfort.

 Ettel Bettel is a Yiddish term for Cat’s Cradle, a social game that requires one basic tool – a piece of string. It’s playful, smart, simple, and most of all – driven by an endless imagination, which defines the essence of our creative process. We are inspired by clean lines, nature, and memories of our own childhood which come together to create a warm world for children without being childish.

 We create with love and passion and hope you’ll enjoy the EttelBettel experience as much as we do.

 Come have fun with us!” (Ettel Bettel Website)

I received a Party Pack and compensation for hosting my #PampersEasyUps Potty Training Party.  All opinions are my own.

I am always nervous when I start potty training my kids.  With my son I was so afraid, and yet it wasn’t all that bad and he potty trained quickly.  I don’t know why but I was still stressing about my daughter potty training.  But she was giving me the signs that she was ready (see signs in my tips below).  So I knew it was time to potty train her.  We were so excited to celebrate her potty training with a Pampers Easy Ups Potty Training Party!

We got this fantastic package from Pampers to help us throw an awesome party.

We had a great time sharing tips for potty training (see below), eating yummy food, and sharing our potty training stories and experiences.

I am happy to report that my daughter has had great success at potty training and is now wearing big girl panties and has been accident free!  I still have her wearing Pampers Easy Ups at Night in case of any night time accidents. I am so proud of her!

20150609_135501

Potty Training Tips from My Guests, Myself & L. Jana MD: 

Wait for Your Child to Be Ready- I cannot stress this one enough.  If you wait for your child to be ready it is SOOOOO much easier to potty train them.  I did this with both of my children and potty training was very easy both times.

Watch for the signs- There are several characteristic signs and developmental abilities you can watch for that suggest children are ready to potty train. These signs of potty training readiness typically include the ability to use their words to express themselves, toddle their own way to the bathroom, pull down their own pants, and to be aware of the sensation of peeing or pooping (characteristically noticeable when young children suddenly stop what they’re doing as they feel themselves start to pee. Or when they start hiding behind the sofa or standing in a corner to poop. It is also helpful (and increases the likelihood of potty training interest) when children start to be bothered by their poopy and/or wet diapers, as that can serve as a good motivation for using the potty instead!

Don’t Be Afraid- It really isn’t as bad as it seems in your mind.  So take a deep breath and relax.  It really will be okay.

Embrace success- As with any learning experience, young children can learn a lot from both their potty successes and their failures. While potty accidents are an inevitable (and admittedly inconvenient) aspect of potty learning, they shouldn’t dominate your day-to-day discussions. Instead, simply help your child learn to cope with (and clean up) any messes and focus your attention on celebrating your child’s successes with plenty of hugs and words of encouragement.

Use Training Pants- I do not like dealing with messes and for me, having a child have an accident in their underwear is so gross and something I do not want to deal with.  When you use *Pampers Easy Ups Training Pants and your child has an accident the clean up is minimal and you can just toss the mess.  Plus, I like to use Pampers Easy Ups even after she is day time potty trained for night times.  That way she is protected from night time accidents but can still easily get the training pants off to use the potty.

  • Pampers Easy Ups Product Features
    • An absorbent core that holds 25% more than the other leading training pant (Huggies® Pull-Ups® Learning Designs®) and ensures little ones remain dry
    • PampersEasyUps® have fewer leaks than the other leading training pant (Huggies® Pull-Ups® Learning Designs®)
    • Fun Thomas & Friends® designs for boys and Dora the Explorer® designs for girls
    • A more underwear-like design for growing toddlers
    • Graphics that fade when wet to help little ones learn
    • Super-stretchy sides to make them easy to pull up and down when using the potty
    • Available for Boys and Girls sizes 2T/3T through 4T/5T

Make It Fun- Make potty training an exciting time.  Host a party, give your child rewards and incentives.

Use Books- There are many great potty training books available to help you introduce potty training and encourage potty training with your child.  The book we read at our party was “You and Me Against the Pee” by L. Jana MD.

Start making connections- There’s a lot that you can do to help your child be well-prepared to use the potty successfully long before he actually starts to. Reading fun and engaging children’s books about potty training, such as You and Me Against the Pee! (which I co-authored) can go a long way towards making the idea of potty training a family and eagerly anticipated one. You can take this familiarity a step further by letting your toddler accompany you in to the bathroom when you need to go so that he both becomes familiar with the routine and comfortable with the idea of using the toilet, rather than being afraid of or intimidated by it!

*About Pampers® Easy Ups

“Potty training is an exciting and eagerly anticipated milestone for toddlers and their parents.  If your child is showing signs of readiness, spring and summer can be the ideal time to kick off potty training especially if your child is heading to preschool in the fall. Even when the timing is right for child and parents, potty training can still be stressful. Parents want potty training to be a positive journey for their toddlers, but leaks, accidents and switching from training pants to diapers overnight can feel like setbacks.

Training pants such as Pampers Easy Ups can help the diaper-to-underwear transition by allowing potty-training toddlers to set aside their diapers and wear something with more of an underwear-like design that still helps keep accidental messes off clothing, bedding and other surfaces no matter whether they happen at home, on-the-go or overnight. Pampers Easy Ups have fewer leaks than the other leading training pant to help simplify and improve the overall potty training experience.  Pampers Easy Ups have an absorbent core that holds 25% more than the other leading training pant to help ensure little ones remain dry.  Plus, with up to 12 hours of protection, it works during the day AND night, enabling toddlers and moms to confidently and completely transition from diapers towards underwear.”

Here is an inspirational story about Molly and how the Children’s Miracle Network has helped her.

“California — Molly            

Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital

Spastic Quadriplegia Cerebral Palsy

Age 9 (as of 11/30/14)

“I can’t” is not a phrase found in Molly’s book. Though she’s had lifelong challenges from cerebral palsy, this motivated, happy and hardworking young lady “stands out by blending right in,” according to those who know her best.

Treated off and on throughout her life at her CMN Hospital — including a life-saving emergency room visit in 2010 — Molly’s impairments are strictly physical. She maintains better control of her feet than hands, and uses a specialized laptop to complete homework and communicate vocally. Both allow Molly to express herself fully: she’s at the top of her class, blazing through books like they’re going out of style.molly

Proving every day that nothing holds her back, Molly loves riding her bike, camping, inner-tubing and playing kickball during recess. Among her many goals, Molly works to build arm strength and hand coordination through physical therapy.”

I just love hearing about how the Children’s Miracle Network Hostpitals’ are helping kids.  They provide comfort, treatment and hope to millions of sick kids.

This post was sponsored by Sam’s Club, however, the text and opinions are all my own.

I absolutely love shopping at Sam’s Club, I can find everything that I need right in one spot! I recently had my baby girl named Parker and was able to find all of my newborn necessities right at Sam’s Club! What I love about Sam’s Club is the huge savings that I find every time that I go there. Some of the essentials I usually buy are Huggies Diapers and of course Similac Formula! I love that these can be bought in bulk!

PicMonkey Collage

I hate when I have to go to the store a million times because I have run out of my baby essentials. Huggies and Formula are just a few of the items that I can buy in bulk and I love the savings! Sam’s Club membership is $45 a year and well worth it! My Mom and I each have a card and split the cost of the membership. I can not tell you how many times that I go to Sam’s Club and can’t believe how much money that I have saved!

sams3

When signing up for the Sam’s Club membership  through our link we have provided (you must sign up through this link to get the discount) you get an Instant $80 savings on family items like Diapers, Wipes, lotion etc.! When I think of my Survival Kit for a newborn baby I picked my most favorite items, which I can find at Sam’s Club. I love the Huggies Diapers, Membership Mark Wipes (Sam’s Club brand), Johnson & Johnson Baby lotion, Desitin and Similac Sensitive Formula! I love that Sam’s Club also offers High Quality Private Brands that are equivalent to the name brand products. Sams Club offers a Sensitive Formula and I love their Members Mark Diapers!

The items from Sam’s Club may come in bulk and you are purchasing more at one time for a higher price BUT you are saving lots of money on the items per unit. Desitin Diaper Rash Cream is one of those items! I actually use this for all of my girls. Parker had a bit of a diaper rash and I applied the Desitin cream and it cleared it up in no time! I love that it’s creamy and goes on smoothly without it being waxy. One of the ways that I learned to prevent a diaper rash is to always change soiled diapers right away! I also let her little bum breath by leaving the diaper off for a little bit.

One thing I recently learned about Sam’s Club is that I can shop online and pick up the items in the store! With a newborn and now 3 little girls to take care of, I am all about convenience and how fast it takes me to do something. I am very fortunate to live about 10 minutes from my nearest Sam’s Club. I can actually get all 3 girls in the car and in and out of Sam’s Club in under an hour if I shop online! I can complete my order online and even make a shopping list and then receive a text message when my order is ready!

I also love that I can sign up for their subscription service for items like wipes, diapers etc. and most of these items will be shipped free!

I am not only saving on baby items but I can save money on all of my family items. One thing that I really save money on is milk and bread! I always by milk from Sam’s Club because I know that I can get it for super cheap there. I also really like that I can save money on gas anytime I want to fill up I head to Sam’s Club!

Things that are Bragworthy about Sam’s Club Shopping:

  • One Stop Shop for all of my Family Essentials!
  • Save money on Baby items such as diapers, wipes, formula etc.
  • Convenient online Shopping
  • High Quality Private Brand Products that are equivalent to Name Brand at a lower cost!
  • I love their new Self Check Out stations!
  • Yummy Pizza and Cafe!

If you have been wondering if the $45 membership is worth it…IT IS!! I could never live without my Sam’s Club Card! Please visit www.samsclub.com to learn more and to sign up!

Have you ever had a Nurse that has so completely changed your life or helped you and your most dire need? I have! I was in for bunnion surgery and was having a difficult time. I had a nurse that we just connected and she really helped me to not be scared. This nurse made me feel like I was a part of her life! We bonded over the Dominican Republic. I had lived there for 18 months and she was from there. She was able to take my mind off of going into surgery and coming out of surgery. She was simply amazing. I have also been blessed with great nurses everytime I have given birth to my 3 girls. Without those nurses I would not have gotten the care that I needed.

I have many friends who are nurses and they simply love their job and love to help people. They love being the ones to truly help someone. I have friends that their babies lives were in the hands of the neonatal nurses every single day. Several of which their babies would not have lived without the help of those special men and women.

Pampers Swaddlers is here to celebrate these Nurses and are offering 3 scholarships specifically to those nurses working in Labor & Delivery, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Postpartum. One Nurse from each category will win a scholarship from underrepresented groups to complete their studies toward a Master of Science in Nursing degree!

  • The 3 Finalists (one from each category) will be announced in March and the grand prize winner selected in May.
  • The 3 Finalists will be honored with a short video documenting their inspiring nursing stories and background
  • Each of the three finalists will receive a one-year membership to the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN), attendance at the 2016 AWHONN Convention, Procter & Gamble care packages, and more. Visit tongal.com/pampersnurses for full prizing details.
