Little Adventures Review

Review large

Children love to dress up and play make believe. Transforming in the moment to be a magical fairy, a royal princess, a swift super hero or a brave pirate. The ideas they think of are endless. As parents we want to encourage their imagination (and any play that isn’t in front of a screen). Costumes are either affordable or comfortable, never both. Machine washable, riiiiiight… This all changed when Little Adventures hit the market.  Co-founded by 2 mothers, Jenny Harrison (mother of 10) and Heather Granata (mother of 3), Little Adventures

They are comfortable with no itchy underskirts or fabrics, completely finished seams and hems, and no buttons or ties to frustrate little fingers! The stretch bodices accommodate a variety of sizes making each size more versatile. All items are made with quality fabrics and trims that are comfortable, washable and guaranteed!

Little Adventures has more products then your child could dream of.  Here are some of the categories.

Boys Options Too!

boy

boy hero redSo many times a company will make oodles of wonderful girl dress up options. Boys love to play make believe too! Girls want to be a Jedi or a dragon, or like my daughter, a pirate. There are costumes for each and every child, no matter what they want to be. There are no limits on what a child can imagine, so there shouldn’t be a limit on what they can dress up as either.

From super heroes, to knights of the round table, Jedi’s or Vader’s, there are so many options with Little Adventures. Masks, capes, light sabers, super hero belts, muscle vests, hats and more!

 

 

 

Machine Washable

Yup, that is right! These beautiful play clothes are machine washable.

What are the wash and care instructions?
All of their dress ups are machine washable, which is truly unique in the dress up market! Little Adventures suggests to line dry, as this will keep the unique trims and fabrics looking their best.

Mama’s Experience

blue fairy 1

My daughter is obsessed with her new dress up clothes from Little Adventures. She has not once complained about an itchy part or anything being too scratchy. I am so happy. It looks beautiful on her and she feels like a real fairy princess. She keeps running around saying things like “abracadabra” or “alakazam” and “bippity-boppiti-boo!”

This outfit consists of:

Teal Fairy Outfit

Teal Fairy Halo & Wand

 

blue fairy 2 Princess 1

I often tell my daughter princesses stories which I make up. She is the main character and a princess.  When she put on this beautiful outfit she instantly transformed into the character. A kind, spunky and curious little princess. She felt the confidence to be the princess she wants to be. Helping enrich my child’s imagination is the most powerful thing I can do as a parent. With Little Adventures I am able to create magic for my daughter.

This princess outfit consists of:

Deluxe Rapunzel Dress

Pink Princess Crown

Princess Jewelry Pink/Gold Set

The Little Bee Co Cloth Diapers Review

The Little Bee Cloth Diapers Review

When I started my journey into the wild world of cloth diapers I came across The Little Bee Co. When checking out their backstory I quickly found out that they donate a diaper to an orphan in need every time a diaper is purchase from them! I was amazed. This is they exact type of business I would want to support. As a fellow Christian, I am called to reach out and help my fellow man. Proverbs 19:17 “One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed” (NASB). The Heise family made it their mission to help children around the globe by supplying them with diapers. I am blessed to live in a 1st world country where I have so many options and choices in how I raise my child. If I am able to help another child, one who goes with much, much less than my own children, I will gladly do so.

max 2

For each diaper purchased The Little Bee Co.
will donate a diaper to an orphan in need.

After traveling to facilities in numerous countries around the globe, it was evident that proper diapering is a very real need. Many babies wear split pants, rags, plastic bags or nothing at all. This is not because those caring for them don’t care, it is simply because funds are limited. When it comes to spending, food and medicines trump diapers. Because of this, a vicious cycle ensues as the spread of disease created from improper diapering and bed sharing causes an already bad situation to be far worse. It is our mission to provide this very necessary resource to those in need. Our passion is not only for orphan care but prevention as well. In working with medical facilities, family centers and malnutrition rehabilitation units we are able to help in the empowerment of parents in poverty stricken areas so their children never have to wear the title of orphan. 

Child is 19 lbs and 16 months old.

Buying and using cloth diapers is a choice a parent makes here in the USA. We choose to cloth diaper for a multitude of reasons: save money, better for child, better for the earth…the list goes on and on. When I heard that buy buying my diapers and inserts from The Little Bee Co could help another child who is in need, I knew it was the right choice for me.

Bee Changed Bamboo Pocket OS

Bee-Changed-OS-Bamboo-Cloth-Diaper-ECO-300x300

What makes The Little Bee Co diapers unique is the front elastic. This allows a more snug fit. I think this feature is especially useful for little boys. Boys pee up, it happens. The elastic helps keep things in check. I really have grown to love this feature.

max 1

A special feature that Bee Changed diapers offer is the ability to self fold up. If you are out and about and do not have a wet bag for your dirty diaper, these diapers are able to be snapped up tightly so that you can just toss them into your diaper bag or purse. No fear of wetness escaping by the neat design.

My son is 19 lbs and is 16 months old. He has a very petite waist and skinny legs. I am THRILLED that the pee stayed in his diaper and didn’t travel down his legs or up his belly after he pee’s! Some diapers claim to be a one size diaper that will fit a growing child, but The Little Bee Co truly passes the skinny baby test! I will be buying for diapers from The Little Bee Co for my son as well as telling all my girlfriends about this awesome line of cloth diapers.

Itzy Ritzy has the cutest collection of sealed wet bags. Wet bags are so much more then a bag to toss your dirty diapers into. They are perfect for my family’s weekly swimming lessons. The wet bathing suits fit perfecting in the bag and make the ride home so much easier then just rolling them up in the beach bag. Speaking of beaches, this bag is perfect for sandy beaches. You can easily keep your items dry and sand free with a Itzy Ritzy wet bag. When traveling these wet bags make perfect toiletry bags. I can safely place my shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, toothpaste and other potential leaky products in the wet bag and not worry about them leaking out onto my fun dresses and other vacation outfits.

Let’s be honest though, its the designs we are in love with! With patterns like Emerald Trellis, Fresh Bloom, Hipster Sunglasses and Whale Watching Blue…you just want them all! They make it more fun to carry and it becomes a true accessory.

Rubber Duckie & Friends Shower Wand

Rubber Duckie & Friends Shower Wand

Children love bath time. Splashing, playing, and just relaxing in the water. At some point, we have to introduce the showerhead. It is so high up there. So far away! It’s scary! It can be intimidating at the best of times, let alone when the showerhead starts dripping water without it being turned on. Even I don’t like that sound. Although it’s probably because I know that there is something wrong, and one of the only ways to resolve it would be to contact a local plumber so the problem can get sorted quickly and efficiently. Luckily, this has never happened yet, and I hope it doesn’t start doing it. I never really considered how scary this could be for children until the time came for me to introduce them to the shower. My kids get nervous when the water comes out of the showerhead at the force it does. Although, most of us adults love a powerful showerhead, and will even hire professionals, like Morris Jenkins, to install them for us, for a child the idea of water being sprayed heavily over their face is pretty scary. It’s intimidating to them. This is no longer an issue for us now that we use a Rubber Duckie & Friends Shower Wand.

The Rubber Duckie & Friends Shower Wands come in 5 different designs: Dollie the dolphin, Duckie the duck, Froggie the frog, Hippie the hippo and Rickie the rhino.

Rubber Duckie & Friends™ flow at just 1.5 gpm and are compliant with all EPA-inspired conservation laws. We help parents save water and money! And, our soft soothing spray pattern is gentle enough to rinse infants & toddlers in the tub.

All Rubber Duckie & Friends Shower Wands feature:

  • Hose or 2-way water flow diverter attaches easily to your current shower arm
  • Diverter switches water flow between mom & dad’s shower and Rubber Duckie & Friends™
  • Mount uses suction cups to stick to tub or shower wall
  • Extra-long hose extends to back of any standard tub

**The hose is 6 feet long, which allows for the perfect reach without too much hose slack**

Rubber Duckie & Friends™ are adorable bath wands to bathe infants and toddlers in the tub and also handheld showerheads for older kids. We do both jobs after one simple installation!

Mama’s Experience

There are limited installation instructions with the Shower Wand, however, it is not too difficult to install. Be sure when you unscrew the caps on the hose that you take note of the position of the washers and that they don’t fall out. They are loose. It matters what direction it is installed as to the pressure which the water flows.

Both my kids (ages 1 and 2) are now obsessed with their “hippo shower”(that is what they coined it in our house). Getting clean was always fun in our house, now its just a special treat to take turns holding the shower wand. My kids both take swim lessons and are very confident swimmers, but the shower head always intimidated them. Now, they are thrilled to put it over their heads and help rinse their own hair. I highly recommend the Rubber Duckie & Friends Shower Wands. Its a great birthday gift for any kid. Something fun and different for the child who has everything.

Just make sure that you have something like these glass shower doors installed, or at least a shower curtain, as sometimes you might find that your kids point the shower wand outside the bathtub and you’ll get water everywhere. Most people will have a shower curtain anyway, but it was just a passing thought that I had. Besides that though, these Rubber Duckie & Friends Shower Wands are totally worth it.
