Play… 20 minutes a day!” – TeachMy.com
Teach My’s president, Christy, quickly realized that parents are the most important teachers. I cannot agree with her more! She spent countless hours scouring stores for tools to teach the alphabet, teach counting and teach reading. When she couldn’t find one kit that did it all, she began creating her own teaching tools that matched some of the tools she had purchased. When her son was reading by the age of three the other parents at his nursery school started asking how she had taught him. It was at this point that she learned “matching” was a key pre-reading skill for young children.
Teach My has 3 categories of products:

Features:
The Teach My Toddler kit is too cool. It comes with shapes, numbers, letters and colors. All the basics that my child craves to learn. Yes, children crave to learn. They want to know what we know. They are little sponges trying to soak up all they can. We need to jump on this opportunity and get them the basic knowledge they need and can take in at this age. The basics of communication are based of numbers, colors, shapes and letters.
The Teach My system uses fun and clear pictures to help my children see and them understand the word associate with them. They need straight forward information and consistency. By having the themes and photos in a consistent nature my child stays engaged and keeps learning.
My daughter is in love with this ‘game’ as she calls it. She doesn’t get frustrated with missing pieces because the entire kit comes in a easy to store plastic container.
The puzzles are a soft foam material. I love that they are easy for little hands to hold. The bright colors make them very engaging. Being foam they are super light which is perfect for storage. My daughter can take her time and figure out her puzzle based on color, shape, letter or number at her own pace.
The books are perfect for a toddler to hold. They are a small board book size. The same size as many other beloved books in our home are sized. Small enough to encourage independence and yet large enough to have clear and fun pictures.
The flash cards are a huge hit with my daughter. She loves to carry them around and look for other items with the same color or shape. Looking for reds, purples and blues in her own little I Spy type game. All of the items in this learning kit are so versatile that you can adapt them into your own little games. Showing your child that they can learn all day in so may ways.
My daughter loves her new ‘game’. She is obsessed with the puzzles. She even made up her own game. She takes the flashcard and places it on the correlating puzzle spot.
I really love how the word for the correlating shape or color is on the back of the flash card. I keep reminding her that the word for that shape or color is right there. I am hoping she will start to recognize the word and understand what it means. I have read that children can recognize words just as well as shapes. They can understand the word more then the letter at times. The letters do not have a direct meaning to them like a word does.
All in all, I highly recommend the Teach My system. your child will be able to play and learn in a safe and clean environment. Look for it in the children’s section of your local WalMart and Toys R Us today.

I See Me! provides the highest quality, most personalized children’s books available. I See Me! was started by founder Maia Haag and her husband Allan after they received a personalized book as a gift for their first son in 1998. While they loved that it was personalized, they thought that the illustrations could have been much better and the story more customized to the child. Thus I See Me! was born.
Their goal was to produce an educational book that would teach young children how to recognize letters and spell their names.
They are pleased to say their books have become popular among celebrities including Courteney Cox, Brooke Shields and Jessica Alba along with every day parents like me.
Their mission is to increase self esteem in children through personalized books that celebrate the uniqueness of each child. The goal of I See Me! books is to show each child how absolutely unique and special he or she is, to teach the child how to spell his or her name, and to build vocabulary skills.
Having a book or item personalized for a child is a very special gift. There are many questions people have and most have been answered at the I See Me! FAQ page. A few notes to highlight are:
What about adopted children? Yes, there are custom options for the arrival day instead of day of you were born.
Can you select certain fairies, animals, sea creatures or countries to be used in your book? Yes, we can accommodate this request if you send an email to customerservice@iseeme.com within 4 hours after completing your order.
More information in these topics and many others can be found at the FAQ page. Click here for a link.
Here are some of the questions which make your book personalized:
“Celebrate your favorite little preschooler with this adorable new personalized storybook, The Very Important Preschooler (V.I.P.)! Your child will learn that being a “V.I.P.” means making new friends at preschool, sharing, helping out, cleaning up, learning new things and more. The Very Important Preschooler is filled with lots of great messages for your little preschooler and is personalized throughout the story and on the cover with his or her name! Written by Jennifer Dewing, Illustrated by Jill McDonald.” – I See Me!
This book is so beautiful. The illustrations are bright and bold. Perfect for a toddler to be fully engaged while reading.
When you child hears their name being read aloud during the story their eyes perk up and eyes open wide. I showed my daughter that her name was in print right there in the book. She thought that was too special. She loves this book because it truly is about her. The book will forever be a cherished part of our home library.
“Our personalized lunch boxes make your child feel special every day! Each one of our lunch boxes features your child’s name on multiple sides. On the inside lid, there’s a chalkboard where you can write a personalized note to your child each morning!
Safe for storing food, our lunch boxes are made of tin and contain no lead. They’re also great for storing toys and other treasures!
Hand wash with dish soap. Do not put into dishwasher. Chalk is not included.” – I See Me!
My daughter has seen many photos of lunch boxes in her expansive 2 years. She knows what they are. But, she has never had her own. We typically use a cooler when going to the zoo or vacation. We share a large container for the whole family. She had no idea that she was getting her own lunch box.
When I showed my daughter her lunch box she got so excited. She wanted to hold it and carry it around with her. She even showed her little brother new prized possession. She has loved purses and bags for ever, so it was natural that my little girl would want to tote around her new lunch box. I sat her down and showed her that her name was on the box she got giddy with excitement. It was all hers. She didn’t have to share this one with her little brother. Having it personalized created a confidence and independence in her. I highly recommend getting a personalized lunch box from I See Me!
Button Diapers are All-in-2 diapers
Okay newbies! An all in 2 diaper works like this: You have an outer shell. This outer shell is to be reused. On the inside you snap in a removable liner. The liner is what gets soiled. Once soiled you simply unsnap the liner and toss the liner in the laundry. The cover is typically still clean (except for those super crazy heavy pee moments & blow outs) and you just snap a new liner on and place back on baby. These are super great for saving laundry time. Having only the liner to wash instead of the entire diaper allows you to save on wash time. I like to drip dry all of the diapers so this makes my turn around time a lot longer. With All-In-2’s I can lessen my laundry pile and use my covers faster. Covers DO need to be washed when soiled and occasionally. You wash your hoodie every few times you use it, same concept (you better wash that hoodie dude or no one is going to want to sit next to you soon).
For more detailed information about how to use Button All-In-2’s click here.
“Quality, affordable, and adorable cloth diapers. Buttons’ is an easy to use two-in-one system. Our one-size diaper covers can snap to fit babies from 9-35 lbs, and are made of 2 layers of soft wipeable PUL with double gussets around the legs. Our snap-in diaper inserts are soft and absorbant, and come in two sizes.” – Button Diapers Website
Button diapers have a few features which make them unique:
I really like the PUL that Buttons uses. It is easy to wash and doesn’t leave marks on my son’s legs or belly. I have used both the daytime microfiber inserts (which have a top layer of super duper soft fleece for the skin side) and the microfiber nighttime doubler (also has the fleece top layer). Both work great for daytime use with my son. He is currently 20 lbs and 17 months old. I have not tried this diaper overnight on him. I LOVE the snap in feature. The snaps are very secure but easy to unsnap in a pinch. I love being able to use the same diaper cover for several uses by simply changing the insert. It is recommended to change the diaper cover every 3 changes. This really helps cut down your wash loads and dry time. Less diaper to wash = less diaper to dry!
The only negative or con of this diaper is that it only have 1 snap. There is no hip snap. There is only the top snap by the waist, no second row snap. This would be fine for normal sized babies, but my son is very tiny. He still wears 3-6 month or 9 month pants even though he is 17 months old. He has not leaked out of a Button’s diaper. This may because I am paranoid and change him super fast after he soils it. You can tell is loose around his thighs because the diaper starts to slip out of the leg holes. Keep in mind that my child is VERY skinny. Note his pant sizes. An average baby will not have this issue with a Buttons diaper.

Read these reviews of Brother sewing machines to see some examples of the kind of kit they use.
When you receive your order all items are handled with great care. I was SO surprised that my wipes were already washed. They are crazy soft! Like I want to cuddle with these wipes, that kinda soft. I washed mine after getting them, because you know, habit. They are still crazy cuddly soft! Super happy with the quality of fabrics Sweet Bobbins chooses.
My son had never felt a wipe other than a store brand disposable wipe. The first time he felt it touch his skin he got still. Like frozen in place. This is a 17 month old – they don’t stay still for changing at this age. They are like greased pigs when you try to change them. He never felt a soft, smooth fabric before. He looked at me with a “what is happening, mom?” sort of face. I wiped him off and put the new diaper on without a struggle.
Cleaning the poop – I was scared. I never used a cloth wipe with poop before. I knew that I was about to change a real toddler poop. I wet 2 of the cloth Sweet Bobbins wipes with warm water from my bathroom sink and set them down while I went to grab by son. The cloth wipes are 7 inches by 7 inches. I ended up only using 1 wipe when changing him! I was shocked! And pleased of course. I could just leave the wipe in the diaper and when I took the cloth diaper to the toilet to dispose of the solids I was able to shake off the wipe. It washed like it had never seen a poopy diaper. I am so in love.
They are flannel and velour wipes, and come in a ten pack. They are 7 inches by 7 inches.
They fold neatly and sit right next to my cloth diapers. Sweet Bobbins has TONS of fun designs and options of wipes. Check them out here.

Gerber All-in-One Diaper with Insert Starter Set is innovatively designed to be less bulky and easy for moms to use. Easily adjusts to perfectly fit your baby. Ideal for everyday and nighttime use. Gerber’s diaper system is reusable, sustainable and affordable.
Gerber now is making All-In-One Cloth Diapers (AIO’s). Being new to cloth myself, when I used to think of cloth diapers, I would think of the big flat white pieces of cloth which Gerber was a main seller of (which are still available and great). These were the diapers I wore as a baby for my first few months….that is until my mother gave up and switched to disposables. Some people still choose to use the flat cloth with pins, but structured diapers are now what most parents who cloth choose to use.
Gerber, being a giant in the baby industry, has a lot of pull in what is placed in front of the consumers. With massive sway in big box stores and retailers, they are now placing their cloth diapers on shelves of stores where the public is able to see it’s availability. People joke that the cloth diaper world is like a cult and sucks you in. Well, is sorta of does! If Gerber can get a good, quality, easy to use, snap AIO diaper on the market, it will be one more step in making cloth diapers main stream. Now, we hope that Gerber can pull it off!
Just like all companies, Gerber listens to their customers. Adjusting and tweaking a product to perfection helps make customers happy and makes them want to keep buying their products. I will review their AIO and weigh the pro’s and con’s.
I was able to chat with a integral member of the Gerber team about the design and thought process behind their new AIO. Here are some of the nuggets from our discussion.
****UPDATE**** I spoke with Gerber and the cons I mentioned above are being addressed. They are working on a new design! Way to be Gerber! We appreciate you listening to our voice.
