Hypoallergenic Bedding for Kids

categories: Article

 

Are you looking for high quality bedding for the little ones in your life?

 

MamatheFox wants what is best for her kids, probably like a lot of you too. At times finding out what materials are used in bedding can be tricky, but not with Joli Moli’s line of Milo & Gabby bedding. They are transparent with their materials, process and manufacturing.

 

 

 

 

This Milo & Gabby comforter is silky soft and lightweight, which will make it your child’s favorite blanket year-round. It’s generously sized and will fit your toddler’s bed perfectly. These comforters features Milo & Gabby’s adorable animal characters, and even have a mini-stuffed friend attached – how cute! Not only is this comforter soft and adorable, it provides a safer sleeping environment for your child thanks to FRESiL’s innovative Silver Ion Technology. By incorporating safe silver ions into the fibers, the filling becomes naturally antibacterial, deodorizing, durable, and allergy friendly, all without the use of harmful chemicals! – Joli Moli’s Website

We have used a ton of brands when it comes to bedding – but the blanket and pillow we have from Milo & Gabby are just stunning

Knowing that this comforter and pillow are hypoallergenic, mite-resistant, breathable and are quick to dry make them a hands down winner in our home. The pillowcase is Silpure® which means it is naturally anti-bacterial, providing lasting cleanliness and freshness. The pillow itself is filled with hypoallergenic microfiber fill, which is light as down but very resilient, making it very comfortable…so comfortable I would use it myself it it wasn’t such a favorite bedtime item of my son!

One of the coolest features of the pillow itself it that you can open the pillow and remove the stuffing! If you want it thinner for a smaller kid, or a child who prefers a more flat pillow, you can remove the stuffing. Then you can add it back later on when they are older or if they now want a fluffier pillow. I have never experienced such a feature on a pillow before!

 

This pillow is the perfect option for children with allergies, asthma, or other sensitive skin issues.

8 Ways To Upgrade Your Run Down Attic

categories: Article

When the word “attic” comes to mind, we normally associate the word with this large dark, dusty space filled with things that are old or broken. The place usually smells musty and old and sometimes, you can see spiders and rats crawling among the dusty boxes and tarpaulin covering certain items. It’s a place that you would normally explore during the day but would stay away from at night because it was too dark and scary to be in there when you were a kid. For many, those are the images that the word “attic” conjured up. However, that’s not the case today.

Today, many people across the globe are finding new and innovative ways to upgrade their attics. 90% of the time, you no longer come across these spaces that are dark, dusty and musty. Instead, you find yourself in a beautiful space that is being used in a plethora of ways to make it more beautiful and useful to homeowners. Can you upgrade your attic? Of course you can! As for where to start, here are 8 ways to upgrade your run-down attic.

A Nursery For the Baby

For those of you who have children or who are planning on having children, this would be a really good option for you. Babies need a big, clean space to play in and an attic is a right fit for the job. All you have to do is clean up the attic, check for any problems such as termites or seepage, paint it up and do the floors, move your baby’s stuff in and you’re done. When doing it up, make sure to make the nursery nice and bright with lots of natural light. This can help contribute to the wellbeing of the baby.

Guest Bedroom

You can never go wrong with a guest bedroom. Especially when someone decides to pay you an unexpected visit of sorts. The space of the attic can be used to fit a bed with a desk and chair to be used by your guests. A skylight will also ensure that the room receives natural light and adds to the ambiance of the room. Some fake plants and topiary trees will also brighten up the ambiance of the room and will make your guests feel right at home. They won’t even be able to tell if the place is an attic or not!

Hideout Room

Every kid needs a place to hide out and play. Though outdoor games are fun, it’s always good to play inside every once in a while. Turning the attic into a hideout room for your child would be extremely beneficial in this case. You can add some shelves and cupboards to store board games and video games and set up a video game console in the room. You can also consider getting an attic fan cover, in case yours don’t have any already. Because during winters, it’s going to be a blessing to keep the cold drafts at bay. Throw in a bed/couch and a couple of bean bags and the hideout room is open for use!

Your Own Office

If you work at home or are planning on working from home, don’t stress about using any other rooms in your house. With your attic, you have more than enough space for your desk (or why not treat yourself to one of the stunning antique desks available online?), chairs and other office materials. If you want to liven up the office space a little bit, you can throw in a few artificial trees and artificial floral arrangements to give your office space a beautiful aesthetic. Beats a cramped up cubicle any day!

Library

If you are an avid reader who lives their life through the pages of a book, this would sound like heaven on earth to you. Add lots of shelves with your favorite books and relax on your couch in the comfort of your attic-turned-library. Be sure to keep a skylight for ample reading light and add some artificial plants and trees to make the space more comfortable for you.

Greenhouse/Garden

If you are a fan of gardening, you can convert your attic into a little greenhouse or garden. By adding some skylights on the top of the roof, your plants will get enough sunlight to thrive and grow. Be sure to keep some windows for fresh air for the plants as well. To make your greenhouse a literal greenhouse, you could install some boxwood mats on the floor and a boxwood topiary on the walls for a beautiful forest effect. Not only will it add aesthetic appeal, but it will also cool down the room for the plants.

Study

Whether you’re a student or a working professional, a study room is a must for when you need your private time to work. The attic can provide ample space for all your materials and is cozy and quiet enough for you to work in. By adding some fake hydrangeas or an artificial bonsai tree or two, you can enjoy a peaceful and serene ambiance along with some beautiful looking plants for your work. Or even if you want to bring in an energetic atmosphere that motivates you to get the work done, brighter colors and wall posters with some never give up quotes or your favorite motivational quotes could be a great addition too!

Your Own Bedroom

Considering that good space for a bedroom is hard to find these days, it’s not a bad idea to use the attic as your bedroom. You would have ample space for your bed and wardrobe and it would be peaceful and perfect for you to use. If you want to make your bedroom look a little cool, you can install a boxwood topiary on the walls or put some boxwood mats on the floor to make the room look visually appealing. If you prefer minimalism, you can go for high-end artificial plants or faux trees to add some green to your attic.

These are just some of the ways in which you can upgrade your run-down attic into a beautiful space. The list does not end here though. There are many creative and useful ways to turn your dusty attic into a livable or workable area. As you do more research on some of the things you would like to do with your attic, you will slowly find what suits your interests and carry out those ideas.

Consider using some faux plants to add to the appeal of the decor. It is not necessary to use a lot of foliage but use just the right amount to showcase your style and uniqueness. Unlike real plants, these are easy to maintain and their resemblance to their real-life counterparts is uncanny. Continue to research and find out about what decor will suit your needs and taste and surely enough, you will end up with a beautiful space that can be likened to a piece of art.

The Stainless Way

categories: Reviews

My family has been slowly working our way toward a plastic free home. Let me tell you, it’s not easy.

Plastic is cheap, and other materials like stainless steel, glass, and silicone are on the more pricy end.

It’s an investment.

Making the switch takes time.

Making the switch takes money.

The Pura Stainless bottles will make your switch a whole lot easier.

Being 100% plastic free and fully recyclable, the Pura bottles are free of everything you don’t want in your home.

These bottles are all interchangeable between each other. All Pura bottles work together with all Pura tops using their patented lid system. This saves you a lot of time, energy, and money.

Big Mouth Sport

This bottle for adults is a great addition to your non-plastic lifestyle.

The convenient finger loop is so great for on the go living. I constantly find myself using the finger loop to ensure that I don’t drop the bottle. It has seriously come in handy in so many instances.

Despite the large body of the bottle, it fits in standard cup holders and bike cages.

I love the insulated bottles because it eliminates sweating. Not only that, but it keeps liquid cold for up to 24 hours with ice.

Kiki 9oz Bottle

I love these bottles.

The interchangeability of them allow these bottles to grow with your child. One set of these bottles can be used for many years, simply swap out the lids.

This bottle is perfect for kids. The durability it gives is incredible. The bottles are light too, which is perfect for little hands.

My only complaint about these bottles is the size. For my three and one year old, we re-fill them so quickly.

I completely understand the size of the bottles though, because they are made to use from infancy to elementary. Use it as a baby bottle or use it as a bottle for the kids at school!

The Pura Stainless bottles are the perfect way to switch from plastic to stainless. The time, money, and energy you’ll save with these bottles is completely worth the small investment.

Sweet Dreams with Tulio Dream Lights

categories: Article

Is your child afraid of the dark?

Do they need a light to help guide them for those midnight bathroom runs?

Do you just like fun stuff?

 

If you answered yes to any of the above then you are going to love Tulio Dream Lights.

 

Tulio Dream Lights come in 17 different designs, giving you the option you would best like. From rocketships to animals and mermaids, there is going to be at least 1 Tulio you will desire to own.

 

There are 12 colors, and white, to choose from. Change the color to match your rooms theme, your mood or your kids favorite color. 4 different levels of brightness to fit your environment perfectly

 

Each Tulio Dream Light comes with the light insert (the design you pick), the energy efficient Tulio LED light base, one remote control and a USB power cable with UL approved charging base to power your lamp – no batteries required!

 

We love that the light inserts are removable and switchable! If your kids changed from a jungle theme and had the monkey design to their new big kid room with a space theme, you can buy just the light insert to update your Tulio Dream Light.

Features:

 

Sleep Mode

When its time for sleeping pick a color and press the sleep button on the remote. The light will slowly fade down to a very low lever, perfect for sleeping

 

Timer Mode

Works like the sleep button, but the light will turn off after 15 minutes – perfect for when you don’t want the Dream Light on all night

 

Rainbow Mode

This gently cycles through all the colors. It is great for nap time and for general relaxation

 

Lamp Mode

Any time you need a brighter light press the Lamp button. This will slowly brighten the light to full white

Clever Moms use Clevermade

categories: Article

Are you looking for easy life hacks?

Ways to get to the park, the zoo or to the ballpark with ease?

Are you looking for ways to use up less space in your home and while on-the-go?

 

Then you are in need of Clevermade!

 

CleverMade gives us uniquely designed totes, bags, coolers and crates that are collapsible – providing consumers with  the chance to take up less space in our homes, cars and offices

 

 

The thing that makes Clevermade products so special is how they collapse. The 2 sides of each product have a “snap and bend” feature.  This allows the bag or tote to stay strong and upright when opened. Then, when snapped closed, it can lay very flat and slim.

 

SnapBasket – LUXE Tote

The SnapBasket comes in a few version and in multiple colors/prints. The one featured in this article is the SnapBasket LUXE Tote – Collapsible 30L Canvas Tote in Navy Striped.

 

 

If you are in need of an easy to use tote that takes up little space when not in use then the SnapBasket LUXE Tote is going to change how you juggle life.

 

MamatheFox loves to use this tote as a car tote. It fits perfectly between 2 car seats, allowing the kids to have their books, toys and snacks in an organized manner. I hate it when the kids things are rolling around in the back seat of my car. It makes it look messy and things get misplaced. Now that we have the SnapBasket in our SUV, we can keep organized and the kids are kept occupied as we bee-bop around town.

 

This tote is also perfect for grocery store trips. I hate getting plastic bags from the store, as we are big into reducing our carbon footprint. It is perfect for picnics, bringing your returns back to a store, or for vacations to the beach.

 

Tahoe Cooler – Sturdy & Collapsible, Holds 50 Cans + Ice

 

 

We are constantly using a cooler.

I use them for runs to the grocery store (when its hot and so many other errands to get done), on vacations, trips to the pool or the zoo. Play dates at the park or natural reserve. We use a cooler at least 2 times per week, if not daily in the summer months.

The one thing about coolers that can be annoying is they take up so much space!

I love our new Tahoe Cooler from Clevermade. It is collapsible when not in use but is extremely high quality allowing it to work very effectively by keeping drinks and food nice and cold.

 

If you tailgate, or know someone who does, this is great to take to ballgames as it can store up to 50 cans! Whether you are filling it with beer, wine coolers, pop cans, juice boxes or caviar, you are going to wonder how you made it through life before using a CleverMade cooler.

 

The cooler comes with a sturdy handle, allowing you to carry the tote when filled to the max.

 

MamatheFox’s husband is in love with the bottle opener that is attached to the cooler! No more loosing a bottle opener when you are out and about. You cannot loose an opened that is attached to the cooler itself!
