Mama’s Experience

First I want to tell you guys how nice it was working with Snorg. Their staff was fun, kind and super fast in response time. Knowing that the staff is on the ball makes you way conformable with a company. It also makes me want to tell my personal friends and family about them as well. Strong rapport is such a big thing when there so many other tee companies out there.

Fit

I typically wear a womens 1XL or size 16-18 in my tops. As all ladies know, this fluctuates day to day and brand to brand.

My tee shown here are men’s XL. They don’t have the fun women’s cut features (shorter sleeves and softer neckline) BUT they are a good fit. I would say a tad loose around the middle (duh, its a mens shirt) but a nice fit other than that.

My husband is wearing a 3X and its a nice size. Sometimes 3X’s are crazy huge and other times they are more like an XL, this is true to its size.

Comfort

These tees are so comfy. You wear a Snorg Tee to be fun and make yourself and the people around you laugh. But you need to be yourself and in a good mood to sport your witty attitude. These shirts are 100% cotton and feel like a dream. I wear a tee to be comfortable. I also need them to be easy to clean. Being a mom I know that my shirt is going to be the material my kids feel when they hug me throughout the day. I can be a fun, silly and cuddly mom in a Snorg Tee.

As my husband put his shirt on he immediately said, “these are so comfy”. That is all a man cares about in a shirt. That is feels good. Women deal with more for the sake of fashion, but not a guy. These tee’s are 100% man approved.

Quality

The prints are either done with a screen printer or a super fancy machine called a Kornit. Both allow Snorg Tees to use a very broad spectrum of colors, which allows the creative juice to be that much juicer.

All of the tees are 100% cotton and are preshrunk (except the Heather Gray that is 90% cotton/10% polyester). All of their tees are dryer safe, but like all cotton, they are prone to a small amount of shrinkage in the first few washes. To ensure your design stays fancy and pristine I suggest turning them inside out when in the washer and dryer.

Thirsties Pocket Cloth Diaper

Thirsties Pocket Cloth Diaper

I have written before about Thirsties diapers, and their AIO style. This will be a shorter article specifically about their pocket style.

Pocket Thirsties Baby Cloth Diaper

Thirsties Baby makes a few different kinds of diapers, one of them being a pocket diaper. A pocket diaper you stuff with different kinds of inserts. These are great diapers for quick wash and drying. I line dry mine and they dry within 12 hours if not faster. In the direct Ohio sun they can dry in as quick as an hour.

Thirsties Pocket:

A two-piece pocket diapering system combining 8 layers of absorbency with a waterproof exterior
One size diaper provides a customizable fit for most babies from 8 to 40 lbs
No need to remove soiled inserts; they agitate out in the wash
Newborn insert – 3 layers of microfiber. Full size insert – 5 layers of hemp cotton.
Inserts can be used individually or snapped together to provide four different absorbency and size options
Available with Thirsties hook & loop or NEW snap configuration with two rows of snaps
Signature leg gussets provide gentle, yet secure, leak protection

This diaper is made to fit most babies weighing 8 to 40 lbs.

What I like in particular about this diaper is that it has 2 openings: one at the top and one at the bottom of the pocket. Other pocket diapers have one opening you use to stuff your the insert(s) inside. Having the two openings gives this diaper a few benefits, like being able to pull the insert in one side and tug from each end while getting it to lay flat. Great for larger hands…like my husband 😉 It also allows the insert to wiggle itself out when in the wash! Instead of having to remove the insert yourself when doing your load of diapers, the Thirsties pocket diaper, with the agitation from your washing machine, removes it for you! I love this feature.

Mama’s Experience

Laline is such an amazing luxury brand. They make the most beautiful and wonderful smelling products. Everything they touch just turns into lovely feminine perfection. From their baby products to makeup, everything is delicate and pretty. They focus on products that will improve not only your mood, but also your life.

Dead Sea Salts

Scientists have been studying the Dead Sea and its contents for years. Its an amazing phenomena that has a “salinity of around 30%, the Dead Sea contains a much higher salt concentration than average sea water. However, the main difference in Dead Sea salts lies in the contents of the salt.” – Laline Blog

The main findings have shown us:

It can slow the aging of your skin
It strengthens your bones, teeth and nails
It reduces the dryness of skin
It protects against acne

Check out the article Laline wrote for more about the Dead Sea and its salts, which are a primary ingredient in a bunch of their products.

Box Bath Bomb – Ocean

I love baths. Period. End of sentence. As a mom, its some of the only alone time I will ever get. It is how like to unwind and relax after a crazy day. Bath bombs are a fun way to make that moment even more special. The scents, the feeling it leaves on your skin, the color of the water, the whole experience just elevates my mood.

Laline’s bath bombs are hearts of salt which will dissolve when placed in water. As it dissolves it will slowly turn your water into the color of the bomb and simultaneously released the scent infused in the salt. This is a real treat and makes the best stocking stuffer for any women in your life.

Monoi Body Scrub

Laline body scrubs have so many benefits. Its main ingredient is Dead Sea Salts, which as I mentioned above, are extremely fabulous for you. Helping aid your skin in healing, strengthening and moisture. Using their body scrubs you can restore your bodies natural shine. The Monoi Body Scrub will deep clean your skin using natural minerals, but also moisture it using using avocado and grape seed oils. Once you are out of the bath or shower, having just washed using the Monoi Body Scrub, you will immediately feel how different your skin is. Your skin will be smooth, feeling extremely soft and moist like its never been before.

To use: gently massage onto wet skin with circular motions. Rinse thoroughly. This product is not for use on your face.

Vanilla Patchouli Fluffy Body Soap

I cannot get over how amazing this Fluffy Body Soap smells, seriously guys, it’s almost addictive. It has this light sweetness to it. Not a heavy thick sweet like maple syrup, but a soft and calm sweetness that only a touch of vanilla can provide. It lingers in the background, creating a relaxing environment. I am not into perfumes. When I was pregnant with both my children all perfumes became a turn off for me. I like things that smell nice, don’t get me wrong, but I am so much more sensitive to smells now. That being said, I love how this lingers. Typically a lingering smell can cause headaches and light-headiness in me, but not the Laline products. They use just the perfect amount of scents to create a lasting but never offensive product.

This fluff is made for a special soaping experience. It comes out in a creamy cloud consistency which melts on your skin as you bathe. The Vanilla Patchouli Fluffy Body Soap is infused with Aloe Vera and vitamin E to help nourish your skin which cleansing.

When you are writing your Christmas list this year, be sure to add Laline products to it! You will not be disappointed with your decision.

Momo Baby T-Strap Leather Shoes – Train (First Walker & Toddler)

MomoBaby’s train shoes are too cute for words! My son, like most other toddler boys, is obsessed with trains. Choo-choo this and choo-choo that. He points them out, makes the noises, gets excited when he see’s them, you get the idea. These shoes have the most beautiful and child friendly train design. They are simple enough and not cluttered or over-designed. They have just the right about of detail, making the shoe fun for the child, but also simple enough to match most outfits.

MomoBaby shoes are made to be worn. So many beautiful children’s shoes are too difficult to walk in, have no support, or are all-for-looks. That is the beauty of MomoBaby, they are comfortable, supportive and fun.

This shoe features train and track designs on not only the toe, but also the inside and outside parts of the shoe. No matter which direction you look you will get that fun, beautiful design.

Momo Grow Leather Ballet Flat Shoes – Ally (Toddler & Little Girl)

These shoes are called the Ally and they are going to be your go-to holiday shoe this season. For Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, you will be using these shoes for the next several months and are worth every penny. They are ballet-flat style so little girls feel super special wearing them. They are gold, which will match practically every outfit you will be putting her in this fall, and they have a frilly toe which adds a fun childish twist to it. They have a beautiful gold glitter-ish shine to them but it is NOT glitter that will be falling off and making you want to pull your hair out. Girls love glitter, but as a mom I think it’s the worst! It gets everywhere and is impossible to clean up. These shoes give them that exciting glittery glow without the headache. So moms, don’t worry, MomoBaby has your back.

Theses shoes are actually leather based, which gives them a super cozy feel as well as a highly durable shoe. It’s really important to protect your leather shoes so I will make sure these are well looked after!! Your daughter can play, run, and jump like her normal self without you worrying about instant damage and scuffing. The elastic on top keeps her foot in place but it soft so it wont irritate her foot whether she has on socks, tights or leggings. The bottom has a rubber sole which helps prevent slipping and falling, which happens so often with lesser quality shoes. If you are looking to bless a child with a pair of new shoes this holiday season you will not go wrong with MomoBaby.

Nunamoochie Review

Nunamoochie Review

Who is Nunamoochie?

Nunamoochie makes beautiful baby wraps for everyday baby wearing. With so many baby carriers out on the market, it can be easy to get overwhelmed and know sure who you can trust. I can tell you with confidence that you can trust Nunamoochie. This business is run by a husband and wife team who pour their love and sweat into their business to ensure you are using only the best for your baby wearing experience.

Colleen & Tanni are husband and wife as well as the founders and owners of Nunamoochies. Back in 2013 the company was officially launched due to their family connections in India. Tanni has family who live in India and with his connections, they could find honest materials at a cost that would be affordable to the consumers. Tanni’s brother, Gurjit and his wife Aman run the India side of the business. They make sure that all the dyes are natural and safe. Aman seams all the wraps herself and even sews all of the ring slings! A real family business.

While the company does not have a standard stock print, or an official brand print, I asked Colleen what her favorite prints are. Her all time favorite is Mehndi, “I just love the design and it’s so meaningful to our family. Tanni’s cousin, who did my henna (mehndi) for our wedding, is the one who drew up the design for us. It’s repeatable in every direction and it just blows my mind that she was able to make that design with a pencil and paper”. I agree, the print is not only super original but it is lovely too. Being that it has a deeper meaning, I can see why it would be her favorite. Her current favorite is Anya, since it’s named after her baby girl, “I realized when I was pregnant with her that all of our designs were either boyish or gender neutral, so I decided I needed some pink in my life. Also, the colors are meant to mimic a tequila sunrise, which is a drink I haven’t had in a long time but used to love!”

Mama’s Experience

Sea Glass Wrap

Service

I was blow away by the amazing customer service that Nunamoochie has. They are helpful, kind and quick if you have any questions or concerns with their products and brand. So many times your emails can get buried or pushed aside. Not with Nunamoochie. They sincerely love when people reach out to them. This makes them really stand out for me.

Wear

This wrap is floppy right out of the mailbox! I am so shocked at how easy this wrap is to work with. So many other wraps I have tried are stiff and take months to really ‘break in’. I can feel the texture slightly in this design, but it is very silky to the touch. On a scale of tough to work to creamy like milk, this wrap is creamy like milk.

The middle marker – used to find the center – is clearly marked on both the top and bottom rail. I love this feature. Being that this wrap is a palindrome in design, I can wear it either direction and still find the middle marker clearly. The markers are very small and are in no way annoying like some other middle markers. My older child doesn’t like when a tag will rub against her when in a wrap and I do not need to worry about this with a Nunamoochie wrap.

The wrap I received was a size 6. It is true to a stand size 6 in length compared to other wraps. The ends are slightly tapered to make the tie offs easy and less bulky. The taper is not extremely dramatic, which makes this a great wrap for fluffier people. This way you have more full panel to wrap with and you still get the smooth and less bulky tie off. I am really happy with how this wrap is cut/designed.

The wraps are all finished by Colleen’s sister-in-law over in India, so you can rest assured that the edges are going to be spot on and up to their high standards. They tired to hire out other people to finish the wraps edging but they were not the quality of work they would want to put their name on. So instead they just do it themselves! That kind of dedication and personal touch really makes Nunamoochie stand out.

In my photos I am wearing my 3 year old daughter that is approx 32 lbs. I wore her for over an hour the first time using the wrap and it never dug into my shoulders or back. She was able to pull the top rail over her head, something she loves to do when upset, and I did not loose my snug fit. It has a great stretch for wear but only diagonally for safety.

This is a great beginner wrap. The prices range from $120 and goes up based on size (sizes 5, 6 & 7 have an up charge). Nunamoochie’s wraps vary in prince and can be as low as $109! This is such a great deal for such a quality wrap.

More about Nunamoochie

I asked Colleen how often are new prints released: “There isn’t a set schedule. We did 4 designs the first year: Elephant Ears and Mehndi were the first. Then Year of the Horse and SciFi. We had leftover black & white (natty) thready from SciFi, so we decided to try the handwoven and that’s where Retro came into play. Retro came out last year, followed by our second handwoven, Anya. The 3rd this year is Sea Glass, the colors of which were derived from a photo contest winner (you can find the image on our Facebook or Instagram page). “

Where can you buy Nunamoochie? “We do not charge for shipping within the US. We have a Canadian distributor (Tadpoles & Butterflies) and another for Australia/New Zealand (AngelRock Baby).”

Because of the affordable price, the ready to wear smoothness and the colored top and bottom rails, this is a great wrap for a beginner baby wearer, an expecting mom or a seasoned baby wearer.

Fresh Wave Review

It’s Safe ♦ It’s Natural ♦ It Work’s

What is Fresh Wave

Fresh Wave is my new favorite household product. I am seriously obsessed with it. I will tell you a bit about its background. Fresh Wave is now a household product available to consumers at Target. Fresh Wave has been used for years on an industrial scale. Residential areas would complain about sewage or water treatment plants stinking up their neighborhoods. Fresh Wave makes a super industrial odor eliminator which these plants can use to stop the odor from penetrating those residential areas. What is so special about this, is they are chemical free!!! Say what?! That’s right guys.

“Fresh Wave® natural odor eliminators use the power of nature and molecular science to get rid of organic and inorganic odors. Rather than masking unwanted odors, our products go to the source to destroy the odor. More importantly, Fresh Wave products use no toxins, so they are safe to use around people and pets.” – Fresh Wave Website

Mama’s Experience

Gel

The gel containers are great for a 24/7 odor removal situation. I opened my gel container and set it in my laundry room right by my cat litter box and dirty cloth diapers. My 2 stinkiest smells in my house. Within about 15 minutes there was no longer any cat litter odor! I was so shocked that this really worked. I figured it would stop working by the next day…but nope! Still going strong. Occasionally I go and jiggle it a little bit and kind stir it up. I feel like it helps it. I have no clue, I think it just makes me feel like I am participating in the action. These last about 60-90 days. I can attest that this is true. The picture seen here was opened 30 days ago and it is not even 1/2 way used up. I think it will last just abour 90 days. I use this by my cat litter box and LOVE how it works.

Removes odors from: pets, smoke, trash, food, bathrooms, basements and more.

Spray

I love this spray! It is great for a bathroom deodorizer. Having a potty training toddler, life gets really interesting the the bathroom. Having this spray helps aid with the smells at least! Its even safe enough to be sprayed in your face! Your eyes, your mouth/nose, will suffer no ill effects from this product. Take that big name aerosol cans!

I love to use this spray in the restroom and by my cat box. I keep a Fresh Wave gel container always by the litter box, but sometimes when “that” moment occurs I need a little quick cover up and this spray works like a charm. I love how I don’t feel the icky thick residue other sprays leave in the air. Just a fresh clean feeling.

Be sure to shake before each use.

Can be used on: clothing, pet bedding, sports gear, shoes, trash and diaper pails…everywhere!

Packs

These are perfect for our shoes and for diaper pails. Whether you use cloth diapers and wet bags or disposable diapers and trash bags, these packs help keep that odor at bay. You can place them inside your trash cans underneath the bag and just keep them there. They last up to 60 days.

I like to use these in my hall closet where I keep my shoes, inside my diaper pail to keep the urine odor at bay until I do a load of diapers and inside my kitchen trash can. I feel like the kitchen trash can always stinks. After now using the Fresh Wave packs my trash can doesn’t gross my out like it used it! I haven’t been using it for 60 days just yet, but I think that is a very accurate time frame.

Can be placed in: gym bags, shoes, boats, closet, car interiors, trash pails, diaper pails, or any small place.

Crane Humidifiers Review

Design For Better Living

Who is Crane?

Crane was founded in 2005 with the concept that “design is an attitude and the home is a personal expression of an individual’s lifestyle.” – Crane Website

Traditionally, when you think of an air purifiers, space heater or humidifiers you think of a plain old square boxy product. Whilst General Air Conditioning & Plumbing suggests using HVAC to condition the temperature of your home, using a humidifier too could create an optimum air environment in your home. Crane breaks out of this mold with their fun, colorful and sophisticated designs. They know that their products are going to be placed in your home and out where you can see them. Why not make it fun and exciting? Help improve the decor of the room, not hold it back. with the Design For Better Living motto they help improve your rooms and your quality of life.

Mama’s Experience

My 1.5 year old son is train crazy. I have found this is a very common obsession of little boys as I have found more and more train toys, TV programs and other items. When I found out the Crane sells a Train Cool Mist Humidifier I literally giggled! I was going to make my little boy very, very happy.

When you put anything in your child’s room you are constantly worried about safety and functionality. With Crane, being a leader in the field of humidifiers, I knew that I was putting a well researched and tested product in my child’s room.

I love that the water tank can easily be filled in most bathroom sinks. That the base has a feature to help prevent mold (this was an issue with my friend’s humidifier and she had to find the best Indoor Air Quality Testing Vallejo had to offer in order to determine where the source of the mold was coming from), and that it has an auto-off function for when the water runs out. Mold is a serious concern for me and I would the to have it in our home. I know that it can seriously affect your health and can even damage the structure of your home so I want to do everything I can to prevent it, otherwise, we may have to use a Mold Remediation Atlanta service to come in and remove any mold and mildew that has formed. There are so many positives to Crane humidifiers what I cannot think of any reason why someone would choose a different brand. The best part about the water tank is the handle for easy lift/removal. My past humidifiers I would loose my grip and occasionally drop, which would be such a bummer and sometimes really messy. With this tank’s handle I don’t worry about dropping it at all.

CRANE TRAIN COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER

Ultrasonic Cool Mist increases air moisture for easier breathing and a good night’s sleep
Relieves cough, cold, and flu symptoms, nasal congestion, dry cough, sinus irritation, nose bleeds, and dry skin and hair

I See Me! 2015 Holiday Gift Guide

About I See Me!

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.

Check out their Christmas Collection Here

Their goal was to produce an educational book that would teach young children how to recognize letters and spell their names.

With the 2015 Holiday Season approaching we all need ideas for what to get the children in our life. Books are timeless. They are the most cherished thing in our house. We make point to read several books everyday to our children. The gift of knowledge and confidence through books is priceless. When a child received a book with their very own name inside, there is a special moment in their minds that releases pure joy. To know they are the lead character. They are special. They can do amazing things.

Gift Ideas of 2015

God Loves You!

The celebration of Christmas is, above all else, the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth. His arrival on earth to save man from our sins, is the main objective I teach my children every holiday season. This Christmas I will be giving my 3 year old daughter a copy of “God Loves Dorothy” to her.

In this book you you can tell your child just how much God loves them with a beautifully illustrated book. The reason God came to earth was to show us how much He loves us, and this book, as a Christmas gift is the best possible gift to give. I have been suggesting it to all my friends as a perfect Christmas gift for small children this year. Each page has bold and lovely pictures of all of God’s creations. This is the perfect gift for any young child in your life.

My Very Merry Christmas!

My son, Max, will be receiving this special personalized book this Christmas. The book uses beautiful primary colors, perfect for young children. By showing him his name inside the book I know he will get excited. When he hears his name on TV and in movies his little ears perk up and listen closer. By having his name inside a book I will be able to keep his attention and tell him a fun and simple Christmas book.

In each book that I See Me! creates you can personalize by name and typically include a special messages. The special message could be as simple as I love you, Mom & Dad, or more specific. Some books also allow for a photo of your child to be used! This is a feature which the God Loves Me book offers. My daughter is going to shout with joy when she see’s her very own picture inside of her own book. I cannot express enough how awesome these books truly are.

Don’t forget all the other fun stuff I See Me! also carries:

Beanfield Chips Review

Who is Beanfield Snacks?

Beanfield Snacks is a family driven company. They started with the vision to help change the way American’s eat. Their primary goal is to help improve the global food supply by creating delicious, plant based, Non-GMO snacks, with beans as the primary ingredient.

Enjoy 6 grams of fiber, 5 grams of protein, and 4.5 grams of fat in every serving

Beans and the Environment

“Beanfields, uses as many recycled products as possible and we recycle in our office. All of our suppliers have similar programs. However, the biggest thing we do for the environment is using beans as our main ingredient! Here are a few tidbits from the sustainability story of beans:

As you can see from this chart (source – American Pulse Association), beans (also called pulses) are by far the most water-efficient source of protein available. And they are also far below the 110 gallons of water needed to grow a pound of corn (source – The Water Footprint Network).
Growing beans also uses far less fertilizer than other crops. Beans produce their own nitrogen, using sunlight to power the conversion of the nitrogen in the air into a form plants can use. As a result of these and other benefits, bean crop production lowers agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions. Beans require half the total energy inputs of other protein-producing crops! (source – American Pulse Association)” – Beanfield Snacks Website

Beans are the ONLY food that the USDA lists in two different nutrition categories (protein & vegetable)
Beanfields has contributed chips to local nonprofits and community groups all over the US and Canada
All of Beanfields Bean and Rice snacks are vegan, not by accident, but on purpose. Even our Nacho and our Ranch chips do not contain dairy as an ingredient and are perfect for vegan diets.

Mama’s Experience

I have never been a huge chip person. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I like to occasionally indulge at parties or events. I just never bought them (this makes my kids and husband very sad). I really like a nice salty crunchy but found it in other ways. I was excited to try Beanfields Snacks chips for a few reasons.

They are better, way way better for you than regular chips (one of the main reasons I don’t buy regular chips).
They have veggies (beans) in them. If I can sneak a vegetable in my kids belly, I will jump on it!
They are a NON-GMO product.

I love salt, so I wanted to the Sea Salt flavor first. MAN! They are so good! I was shocked really. I got the salty crunchy that I desire from a chip but not the guilt or greasy hands that previously followed the chips. They are not heavy on the salt. Its a light salt. My 3 year old wouldn’t eat them, and I think it was because when she has had chips, they are covered in salt. That is what she expects now in a chip. I then offered her a barbecue flavor. She liked those way better. They too have a light flavor. Not over powering at all. You are still able to taste the natural yumminess of the bean and rice. There are so fun to eat. Each flavor is just as good. They really hold true to their flavor and are not greasy like potato based chips.

Each bag had a unique taste and satisfying flavor that made it excited for my kids. They are so excited that now they get to eat them! I love that I can allow them a handful here and there and not worry about their little bellies being filled with empty carbohydrates. Now they can enjoy chips that are good for them (and don’t leave my walls all shiny with greasy hands). Thank you Beanfields Snacks!

What the husband (chip eater) had to say:

Salted – Good. Nice flavor. Good for dipping.
Barbecue – Excellent. Very nice BBQ flavor.
UnSalted – Not his favorite. Good for dipping.
Ranch – Least favorite. Not a deep ranch flavor other corn chips provide. Could use more flavoring.
Pico De Gallo – Favorite! Best chip they make. Spicy. Slammed 1/2 a bag in 1 sitting. Loves this chip!
Nacho – Good but not what he expected based on other nacho flavored chips. Expected artificial, but this was more of a real cheese flavor.
Salt & Pepper – Decent snacking chip. Not too flavorful but not too plain.
