 I have a six year old son that constantly makes messes. I'll clean the living room and less than an hour later, you could never tell that it was spotless a little while ago. I swear, it's like a toy bomb goes off sometimes. He'll almost never pick up unless I bribe him with a treat of some type. He'll just sigh and try to push everything all in one pile in the corner and call it clean. Sillycutie has made a wonderful playmat that saves me so much trouble!

  The Sillycutie playmat measures 4 feet across. It is a nice ble color with a white border and is made of a waterproof material that can clean up easily. It easily folds up into a small bundle whenever you are not using it. To use it, you just unfold it and lay flat on the ground wherever your kids going to play. Let them play and have fun with it, keeping their toys on it. When it's time to clean up the toys, you can make a fun game out of throwing everything into the middle of the playmat. I like to race my son and see who gets the most in the middle first. Once all the toys are on the playmat, simply pull a drawstring on the side. The string tightens the white ring, neatly bundling everything up! It's very quick and easy! The playmat also has two mesh pockets on opposite sides of the mat to keep the smaller toys in. A convenient carrying handle is sewn on the side for easy transportation.
  This idea is pure genius! I no longer have to argue with my son about picking up his mess and everything get's cleaned up in seconds! I absolutely love this playmat and I'm having my son lay it out every time he plays with his small toys in the living room!

 I'm currently six months pregnant with my second lil boy and I'm trying to stock up on as many baby items as I can. One thing you can't ever have too many of is pacifier clips! It's very frustrating to you and the baby when they drop the pacifier constantly. Then they cry, you have to hope you find it quickly and then you have to clean it off somehow! And if you're in the store and they dropped it tree aisles back and then decide to cry about it, it's almost hopeless. Pacifier clips are a wonderful solution to this frequent problem.
​

 The AlmaBaby pacifier clips came in a nice three pack and are each double sided to help match any outfit. There's a black w stars/ yellow polka dot, green stars/green blue stripes, and red stars/ black white polka dots designs. They are a nice short length to safely keep the pacifier within easy reach without getting wrapped around the baby. The clips are BPA free plastic with soft alligator teeth that will not tear or harm clothing. The clamp on very securely and don not have any sharp corners to cause injury. The lanyard is an elastic type loop that can easily stretch to accommodate any style of pacifier. I double looped it around my pacifier and it held it very securely. These are also great for holding blankets and toys in easy reach as well. These are very nice high quality clips and I love the cute designs!

​ OMG! These are the cutest pacifiers I have ever seen! They're hilarious and so cute when the baby is using them!! I've had some great experiences with Luly Baby products, and they have done it yet again!

  These adorable pacifiers some in two different styles. The Cowboy is a long brown handlebar mustache and the Gentleman is a spiffy trimmed black mustache. I got my six year old to model them for me and he looked too adorable! The pacifiers are made of a BPA free plastic and each comes with a handy cover to help keep them sanitary. The pacifiers are so funny and attention grabbing that they'll be sure to make your little one an instant star! I can't wait to let my little newborn try these out in public! They are so perfect for a cute photoshoot!

 As I'm currently 6 months pregnant, I'm starting to stock up on baby gear. Lately, I've become obsessed with pacifier clips! They come in so many different cute designs, but these pacifier clips from Turtles are so absolutely adorable!!​ 

 The Turtles pacifier clips set has three clips and includes a bonus gift of a pacifier case! The clips are absolutely adorable with a different design on each side. There's a blue diamond/ red owl, green with stars/ colored owls, and black n white cat/ white n black cat designs. The clips are nickel-free metal with plastic alligator teeth to prevent tearing of clothing and lock on very securely. The loops are cloth and can accommodate any pacifier size, however they are not elastic. They can easily hold a blanket or small toy as well! 
  The included gift of a pacifier case can easily hold two pacifiers along with the clips and closes airtight to help keep them sanitary. The case easily attaches onto a stroller or carrier handle to keep pacifiers within easy reach.  I absolutely love how cute the designs are on the clips and I love the included pacifier holder case! They're going to really make my life easier with the new baby!

 I'm currently six months pregnant, and starting to get pretty big now. It's hard for a pregnant woman to feel special when she's waddling around and having trouble bending over. This Mom to Be sash is a perfect little accessory to help her feel more special!
  The sash is made of a satiny material that is smooth and pleasant to the touch, it's not all scratchy where it can irritate you if you need to wear it for a long time such as a baby shower. The words are in a beautiful silver glitter that really sparkles in the light! The sparkles actually stay on very well and you don't leave a trail of fairy glitter behind you as you walk around. The sash is large enough to easily accommodate riding over the most pregnant of bellies. This sash is absolutely perfect for a baby shower, photo op or just to wear around and feel special when you're pregnant!

 If you'd like to get a new mommy a special sash, you can get one here (they also have pink ones for girls!):

  As I'm expecting my second lil boy in just a few months, I'm starting to really look into slings and carriers. The Mamaway Baby Sling exceeded my expectations in what I was looking for in a sling!
 Baby slings are a very widely encouraged way to keep your baby close to you. They have so many benefits, it's hard to list them all! They help reduce crying by being more comfortable for babies than the traditional carriers and they develop a sense of security and trust by being closer to you. They also promote learning by letting the baby view all your activities and learning from you rather than staring at a ceiling or wall from a crib or stroller. Baby slings are also ideal for breastfeeding by improving their posture and frequency of breastfeeding while still staying discreet. Wearing a baby in a sling will also ease the strain on your back!

​  The Mamaway baby sling came in a nice pewter gray color with pink stitching. It is very well made from 100% Pima cotton and is of a very sturdy and durable material. The stitching is very tightly done and overall, the whole thing is very sturdy and high quality! The sling is breathable, allergy-free, and soft enough to not irritate your baby's sensitive skin. The rings are made of a plastic like material and are smooth to the touch in case the lil one decides to teeth or play with them. 
  Putting the sling on can take a little bit of practice but it's pretty easy once you figure it out. You basically set the ring over one shoulder, loop around behind your back and then around over your belly to thread through the loops. There's several different ways you can position the baby, mainly depends on size, activity and preference. I absolutely love this baby sling, and I'm super excited about using it soon! I love the color and the style of it! They also have a ton of other different colors too!

 I was recently introduced to Akeekah baby product by trying out some of their bandana bibs. The bibs were of absolutely great quality and so adorable! The quality of these pacifier clips definitely met my expectations, and I'm definitely an Akeekah fan now!
  The pacifier clips some in a 4 pack and have double sided designs perfect for either gender. There's a black n white polka dot with black n white chevrons on the other side, an orange polka dot with green chevrons on the other side, a red white n blue geometric design with red zig zags on the revers and a rainbow polka dot with rainbow zig zags on the other side. I absolutely love all the designs and look forward to pairing them with the perfect outfits! The material is 100% polyester, grosgrain ribbon with top notch stitching, resulting in maximum strength and color richness. They're very sturdy and can definitely stand up to a lot of handling from the little one.

 The clip is very durable and secure to use without damaging clothing. It's made of a plastic material that is safer than metal if they decide to mouth it. You can attach these handy clips basically anywhere- on clothing, strollers, blankets, carriers, or even on you! To attach the clip, you have to pull up a lever to open the alligator mouth. Once they're on something, they're there to stay and it takes quite a bit of effort to pull it off. I found that if you double the elastic loop around the pacifier, it stays on much more secure, otherwise it's too loose. But if you double it, it's there to stay and is on very tight and secure. I actually think that's a good option since you can make the loop fit pretty much any pacifier shape or size out there!
  Overall, these clips surpassed my expectations and I'm a true Akeekah fan now! They really do have top quality baby products!

**I was not paid for this review! I received these items heavily discounted for my honest review!**

  I just recently "discovered" baby bandana bibs. I think they are just so adorable, and they're also like a fashion statement while still being completely functional! I was given the opportunity to review this Unisex bandana bib set by Akeekah. Since I'm currently expecting my second lil boy in a few months, I jumped at the chance to review these.

 The 4 pack of unisex bibs I received was absolutely adorable. There is a teal chevron pattern, black and grey zigzag pattern, multi-colored arrows , and blue and tan chevron pattern. They are all unisex and would definitely work well for either boys or girls easily. 
   The first thing I noticed (besides the adorable designs), was how they underside is nicely padded and very soft. These bibs would be perfect to put on a shirtless baby without any chafing whatsoever! The snaps are metal with two different positions on each side for the perfect fit. The bibs are nice and precut, so you don't have to worry about folding them to the perfect bandana shape. They seem very durable, the edges are well stitched and these seem like high quality bibs! And have I mentioned that they are just too adorable?

  I've actually been looking for a decent bathmat for a while now. My six year old son likes to slide around like a seal in the bottom of the shower which isn't always safe. Also, I'm 6 months pregnant and getting pretty big and almost slipped the other night trying to shave my legs. 

 The Melapets bath mat came nicely rolled up in a compact little roll. I got mine in the yellow color, which I wasn't too crazy about, but my tub is green so it actually blended in without clashing. The bathmat has a bunch of cusioned little bubbles on the top that feel really good on my feet in the shower. I actually spent some time massaging my feet on them! It has a ton of little suction cups on the bottom that definitely held it in place very well. Installing it was very easy, I just got the bottom of my tub a little wet and pressed the mat down so the suction cups caught well. The bathmat was actually a really nice size of 26.5" x 14" and covered the majority of my tub easily. It was very sturdy to stand on and I didn't slip around at all during my shower.
   The Melapets bathmat is made of durable allergen free vinyl that is anti-bacterial and mildew resistant as well. The compression molded rubber resists abrasion and is very durable. To top it all off, this bath mat is actually machine washable as well! I've never heard of that before! The spaces between each bubble allows the water and scum to drain away well and leave your mat clean and fresh after every shower.

  We like to try to eat thrifty in my household, and I'm always storing leftovers from dinner for our lunches the next day. My six year old is also very picky and won't eat his school lunches, so I have to pack him a lunch a few times a week also. A common problem we've had is that the standard tupperware is just one compartment, and food tends to run together or leak occasionally. A simple solution that is becoming more popular nowadays is to use Bento lunchboxes that also help with portion control.

 Orgalif make a wonderfully durable lunch box set. It comes in a handy 5 pack to easily cover each day of the work week if you'd like to plan ahead. The lids are each a different color- blue, green , orange, red and purple . Each lunch box is divided into three parts- a large section perfect for a sandwich or piece of chicken, a medium compartment perfect for a small salad or other good sized side, and a smaller compartment that's perfect for a good side vegetable or even dip. Each section is perfectly sized to help with portion control so you don't end up packing too much, yet they're still large enough o have a nice full lunch. The plastic is amazingly strong and can definitely stand up to being dropped or battered around a little bit. The lids seal really good and are completely leak proof, making them ideal for putting in a backpack without worrying about them. They are microwavable, dishwasher-safe and perfect for freezing! I really love these containers and have been packing my husband's lunches in these for a few days now. He tends to just throw a container into his front seat and these have stood up to that without any leakage! I love how they're color coded too so I can assign one to each day of the week and know which lunch to grab each morning.
