Backpack Pets

As kids grow older, you’ll soon ditch the diaper bag.

Seriously moms, the day is coming where you won’t have to carry around a heavy bag with you everywhere you go.

My oldest is 3 and we recently have moved him out of the diaper bag and into his very own backpack. This is great because the diaper bag is lighter and he loves carrying around the bag. It may just be because its new still, but he wants to take it everywhere we go.

 

The Fenrici backpacks are so perfect for kiddos. The animal backpacks they offer are sure to make your child smile. There are so many options to choose from and all of them are fun, bright colors.

We love the backpacks because of the large compartment that can hold all your child’s needs. We keep a pull-up, extra pair of underwear, and a pair of pants in the backpack at all times. Even with the necessities, there is still a lot of room for my sons wants – cars, toys, books, you name it.

Be a Savi Mom

Coming across cute, affordable pregnancy and nursing apparel is a pretty difficult task.

I literally gave up when I was pregnant with my first. I just scraped by, using clothing that could pass as nursing apparel, or making my own.

We live on a budget, so buying clothes isn’t a number one priority.

That’s why I love the Savi Mom clothing line.

You can wear these clothes at all times in your life – pregnancy, postpartum, nursing, and beyond! Also, if you’re pregnant and looking for more than just clothing: I highly recommend HMHB’s guide on finding a crib mattress.

The co-founders of Savi Mom are two moms – just like you and me. Savi Mom was created to help new moms find what they need and want. The versatility of their clothing is perfect for changing bodies.

Free shipping on all US orders makes purchasing from them even more enticing.

Believe me, the Savi mom clothing line is one you’re going to want to check out. Keep reading to find out more!!

Newport T-Shirt

The Newport top is a great shirt for everyday life. The fabric is super soft and feels amazing on the skin. Adorable and flattering, the cuff sleeves give the shirt a unique look. Making it not quite a tank top, you can wear it in any season. Pair it with a cute cardigan, or thrown on a fun pair of shorts, this top versatile!

Nursing is easy to come by in this top with the pleated front. Easy access for baby just takes a simple pull of the fabric.

One feature I like that I didn’t think I would is the pockets. The two small pockets in the front of the shirt do weigh it down a bit, which isn’t great. But the upside is that they’re actually usable. It’s like a dress with pockets – we all love them, right? They are located in the perfect spot and they are easy slip your hands into.

A down side I found when wearing this shirt is that the pleats on the front, that create the nursing panel, really add a lot to my chest. I feel like my chest is really large when wearing this top. I don’t have a large chest to begin with, so it’s not a huge deal to, but for someone with a larger chest size, I could see this causing some trouble.

You really can nurse discretely while wearing this shirt, which is a huge reason I love it so much. Easy access is something that all nursing moms want, ant this shirt meets that need. The fabric is super soft, and the flow of the front panel creates a great look for any mama.

Be sure to check out the Newport T-shirt. It won’t disappoint!

Aspen Yoga Hoodie

This super cute hooded tunic is perfect for any time of the year. The soft, stretchy jersey fabric is seriously so comfy; you’ll never want to take it off. The long body of this top makes it really versatile. Wear it athletically, casually, or throw on a pair of leggings and rock it.

Long sleeves with thumbhole cuffs really top off the shirt. I love that the sleeves are long, it gives me more of a cozy feel.. I love pulling my hands in my sleeves. This is great for chilly morning walks, or even working out.

The best part, though is the extra fabric and tight stitching. With many of my tops, the thumbhole stretches out and becomes uncomfortable. I have confidence that these thumbholes, and the extra cuff that covers my hand, will last.

I’m a huge fan of hoods on my sweatshirts. Don’t get me wrong, I love my crew necks; but hooded, baggy sweatshirts are just the best. This yoga hoodie is no different. The weight of the hood creates the perfect pull to keep the shirt in the right spot on my neck. This is actually a big deal for me because I don’t like my tops too low on my chest, but I also don’t like them hanging back and nearly choking me. It sits in the perfect spot. The downside to the hood is that it’s not very usable. It’s pretty small and isn’t really functional.

Access to nursing is easy too. The front panel is large and baggy which gives the cute look, but also allows quick access when needing it. Not only is this front panel flowy – which I love – the pleats create such a perfect look. It’s great for pregnancy because it stretches with your belly, but it’s especially great for your postpartum body. It really hides anything you may want hidden – like some left over belly after baby makes their debut.

Pregnant, postpartum, or nursing, this yoga hoodie is a great addition to your wardrobe. My sister-in-law, who doesn’t have any kids (yet), told me she wants the top. So seriously mama’s, it’s totally worth it. You will for sure wear this in all walks of life.

Mama Fashion

Every nursing mom knows how important it is to have an appropriate wardrobe to breastfeed.

 

Shirts that allow easy access and don’t expose your belly.

Clothing that allows moms to feel confident and comfortable in public.

Eliminating the need to wear and have to tug through layers of clothes.

 

 

Momzelle creates innovative nursing apparel that does all of these things.

After crafting a top that was given an overwhelming amount of positive response, Christine, the creater of Momzelle, decided to create tops for other women too. In 2009 Momzelle had the opportunity to pitch their idea on CBC’s Dragon’s Den (the Canadian version of Shark Tank!). As their company continues to grow and reach more people their focus is keeping customers happy with outstanding customer service support.

The high quality fabric is made and designed to be worn over and over again. The clothing holds its shape and will not pill. As a breastfeeding mother, I can attest to each of these features. I only want the best fabrics around when nursing my child, so the quality fabrics mean a lot to me.

 

Josiane

If you’re looking for a shirt to wear in any part of your mommy stage, this one is for you. The Josiane can very easily be dressed up or dressed down; it’s very versatile.

To the touch this shirt is so soft and almost silky. Made primarily with rayon, this shirt is so, so comfortable. This is my favorite aspect of the shirt. The softness is undeniable.

This top, as well as the Florence and Vanessa, can be worn through all stages of pregnancy and breastfeeding. The ruching on the sides and the long length of the shirt make it easy to wear during pregnancy and postpartum. You will feel great and look good in this flattering top.

Access for nursing comes easy with the Josiane top. The cross over panels open easily to the under panel. This ensures a quick, discreet, and comfortable breastfeeding experience.

Florence

This top is super cute and made for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Its loose, flowing silhouette feature is perfect for hot summer days.

I love the versatility of this shirt. It’s super easy to dress the shirt up, or wear it casually. The lace on the shoulders adds a pretty touch that really adds another dimension to the top.

Accessing your nursing bra is easy with the Florence top. Simply lift up the front panel of the shirt and pull the inside panel down or from the side – whichever you feel more comfortable doing.

I’m usually not a fan of loose fitting shirts; I prefer tighter, formfitting tops. This shirt I actually really like. The top is a tad tight, which I like; and the bottom is flowing. Maybe I’m more of a fan of it because it’s summer and it’s super hot all the time. Either way, it’s a great shirt and it’s now one of my go-to’s.

Vanessa

The Vanessa top is a classic v-neck shirt with a little flare. I love v-neck shirts, and this is definitely one of my favorites now. I especially like this top because of the crossover panels; these really distinguish the Vanessa top from other tops.

These crossover panels are perfect for breastfeeding. They hid what need to be hidden and allow easy access for feeding when needed.

The ruching on the sides of the shirt allow it to grow with your belly all throughout pregnancy. I’m not pregnant, but this shirt fits great. The stretch in the fabric gives plenty of room to grow for future pregnancies. This ruching is also perfect for your postpartum figure. It’s flattering for your pregnancy, postpartum, and nursing figure(s).

This shirt is very affordable and can be worn through pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your money will be well used with a purchase of the Vanessa maternity and nursing top.

 

Momzelle is a great place to find apparel for pregnancy, postpartum, and nursing. Their clothing is affordable and really cute. Check out their website and order something for yourself or give as a gift!

Happiness for Little Hands

Ever go on a trip with your family and think of all the millions of things you have to bring with you? Seriously, there is so much stuff to bring along with children.

What do you do when you realize you’ve forgotten an essential? Are you the type of person who will run to the store and buy it OR are you someone who will improvise and use what you’ve got?

That is exactly what Casey, Virginia mom, did when she was on vacation with her family. She forgot to pack mittens for her daughter, so Casey grabbed some socks and put them on her daughter’s hands. Boom. Problem fixed!


Handsocks are the perfect solution to keep little baby hands warm and baby faces protected. It’s hard to cut those little finger nails, but it’s really easy to grab a pair of Handsocks and place them on baby’s hands. As you can see in the photos below they’re very easy to put on.

The Handsocks vision is to create limited quantity styles and prints. This means that if you find a specific print or style you like, get it while you can before it’s sold out! With a vision like that the prints you purchase will most likely be pretty rare; only a certain number of people will get their hands on them.

…………

Fun fact: You can enter for a chance to have a limited print of Handsocks named after your child. Pretty fun! You can apply on their website

…………

The prints they create are super cute and perfect for any child. With options for girls, boys, and gender neutral you are sure to find one you like! Recently they just released their college football line. Get your favorite teams logo on a Handsock and your child can cheer them on!

We just brought our new baby boy home on October 1. In just three days he already had scratches on his face! I forgot to pack mittens in the hospital bag and we were unable to cut his nails while we were there. I was ready to wrap his little hands up to protect him! So, the first thing I did when we got home was grabbed a pair of mittens (that WEREN’T Handsocks) and put them on his hands. Literally within minutes the mittens fell off! I was so frustrated. This made me very excited to get my package from Handsocks so I could try them out!

 

Let me tell ya mama’s, these things are amazing.

 

The Handsocks are perfect for our new baby boy. Its been pretty chilly here the past few days, so they have been perfect. They keep his hands warm and toasty. The Handsocks are really great for him because they protect his little face from getting scratched. A lifesaver!

I love how the Handsocks are more like socks and less like mittens (hence the name!). They actually stay on baby’s hands! Why? Because of their sleeve-like effect. There is no velcro or straps to work with, and no tightness whatsoever. Notice in the picture how the stripe part of the handsock goes all the way up to baby’s armpit. It’s perfect! It would take a lot for a baby to work them off their arm.

 

Handsocks are the prefect accessory for your older child too. Their sizes are available for newborn up to 3T. You can use them as protection for your newborn and like gloves or mittens for your older child. They are perfect for the winter – going from the house to the car and the car to the store. Normal gloves are such a pain to put on little hands; it’s nearly impossible to get all the fingers in the right places! And just like with newborn mittens, child mittens fall off really easily. Save yourself the hassle and get your kiddo some Handsocks!

 

My favorite aspect of the Handsocks company is how they love and care for other kiddos around the world. While exchanging emails with Casey, the owner of Handsocks, she mentioned that she got a letter from one of the orphanages that she recently sent Handsocks to. She was ecstatic. She expressed to me how happy and grateful she was to have received it. That is why she does what she does. Casey, and the whole Handsocks company has a passion to make a positive impact on the world. That’s what they’re striving towards.

 

 

Handsocks are perfect for your kiddos – newborn to age 3. Your kids will have warm hands and protected faces; say goodbye to fingernail scratches. The soft, cozy socks will be a lifesaver this winter. I’m so excited to use them! Christmas is coming sooner than we think – these are the perfect gift for anyone with young kids. Click the image to the left to see and buy Handsocks!

 

 

 

 

Go Little One Go

 

 

Help your child reach their crawling milestone faster with the Go Little One Go line of crawling apparel. The patent-pending anti-slip safety-grips all over the knees will give baby a great layer of protection between their little legs and the floor. Your baby will have an easier time moving around on any surface in the house; tile, hardwood, laminate, and even carpet.

 

Their line of clothes are so adorable and can be mixed and matched easily. They offer crawly rompers, leggings, and harem pants all with the anti-slip grips on the knees. Long sleeved and short sleeved shirts are available, and also gift sets which include leggings or harem pants with a shirt of your choice.

This crawly romper from Go Little One Go is such a great option to help your child crawl. The super soft material, adorable colors, and anti-slip star grips on the knees are the perfect combination for baby. Not only will your child be comfortable and cute while wearing the romper, they will hopefully have an easier time learning to crawl.

 

The 95% rayon from bamboo and 5% spandex material makes this crawly romper so unbelievably soft even you’ll want to wear it! The fabric is allergen-free and will create a soft barrier from the outside world. The romper has a two way zipper allowing for easy access to baby from the top or the bottom. This crawly romper comes in many different colors which includes: black, blue, dark grey, light grey, mint, and pink. Choose a color for a specific gender, or pick one that is gender neutral!

 

 

One downside I have found with the crawly romper is the sizing. They have only one size – 6-15 months. This makes sense because it is normally when a baby is learning to crawl, but it can create some issues if it doesn’t fit baby perfectly. If you have a chunky baby that is between 6-12 months old, this romper is perfect. But if your baby is on the skinner side, this romper is not going to fit your baby well. The problem is that the anti-slip grips are supposed to fit over the knees, but if baby isn’t tall enough or thick enough the romper won’t fit how it should. Although you could pull the elastic leg holes up a bit so the grips are closer to the knee – which Go Little One Go suggests – it still may not fit exactly how it should.
