Swimzip Review!

2016-03-11T05:26:00.002-08:00

Today's review is on Swimzip. Swimzip is a great company that makes rash guard swimwear and other swim products with SPF 50. In my youth, I admit, I was reckless. I would tan and not use any sunscreen. Unfortunately it took the diagnosis of several friends and family with skin cancer to make me change my ways. Since having my kids I have been more cautious of sun protection. Being from New Mexico has made this difficult as the sun is one thing we can not escape.

I learned of Swimzip on a trip to Kansas City. It was love at first sight! Featured on Shark Tank, Swimzip makes protective swimwear for babies, kids, women and men! Not only does this swimwear protect, but it is fashionable! These rash guards come in many different colors and designs. Long sleeves and short sleeves. There is really something for everyone's taste.

My daughter Lili is a little fish! If she could live at the pool she would. Last year I tried her in another company's standard one piece swimsuit. She was miserable! It was restrictive and itchy on her. She cried and cried when we put it on. When we received the Swimzip in the mail she wanted to put it on right away. It was like night and day! The material is soft on the skin. It is lightweight so you don't feel too overheated in the sun. The top of the zipper has a flap of material that prevents the zipper from being accidentally pulled down.

Lili and I am in love with the purple ombre suit. I literally had to chase her down to get it off of her. It comes as a short sleeve shirt with zipper, of course, in the front and pull up bottoms with a little ruffle at the top. Lili really loves spinning to make it fly up.

I was so impressed with Lili's suit that I got my own Swimzip short sleeve top! I am now two months postpartum. I am still working on getting back my body or at least to a happy medium. With that said I found that my top was very flattering to my figure. It didn't ride up as we played or as I was lifting the kids. It really is comfortable. It fits true to size. But the important part of the review is testing Swimzip in the sun. When we first tried out the Swimzip, we were outside for approximately 20 mins. When we came inside and removed the Swimzip we could already see it made a definite impact. All exposed skin was red and tender. It was such a short time spand, but a real eye opener. This rash guard gets two thumbs way up!

Swimzip also makes cover ups with SPF protection. Kimo is in their Hooded Shark Attack Towel. Their cover ups also feature the flap over the top of the zipper to prevent it from being accidentally pulled down. It is made of terry cloth so to help dry babies just coming out of the water and warm them up.

Love this little shark bite!

Another great feature of my Swimzip top is that it makes breastfeeding easy. The zipper allows for easy access. Breastfeeding mamas out there know that quick access is critical when there is a hungry baby!
I also discovered that when i unzipped the top at varying lenghts the zipper would stay at the length. It would not creep down as I feed baby.

Swimzip also makes these great beach towels. They are called Roundies. Lili, Kimo and I all fit comfortably on one. They are a 100% velour cotton towel that measures 5 feet in diameter. Super soft to the touch! This towel also has weight to it. Which is nice that it doesn't blow away with every little breeze. I love the design of this roundie. Roundness come in six different designs and colors. Again a great variety for everyone's taste! And yes I am eyeing another one for our next vacation in August. A girl can never have too many beautiful beach towels!

Camplight Apparel Prints

2016-03-09T13:28:00.003-08:00

I wanted to give a shout out to Camplight Apparel. I am in love with their positive message t-shirts that go from newborn to adult. They have just released two of their designs as prints. I love the monochrome and the simplicity of the prints. They really can fit into anyone's decor. These prints are $8 and are downloadable. I have a special place in my heart for companies that give back to the community. This is why I love Camplight Apparel. This wife and husband team takes a portion of each sale to feed malnourished children. They also created a special "Brave" tee that is helping support @graceandsalt with the adoption of their two lovely kids in Uganda.

Tsum Tsum Mystery Stack Packs

2016-03-07T11:54:00.000-08:00

On a recent trip to Target, the kids and I picked up a three Tsum Tsum Mystery Stack Packs! Tsum Tsum are little stack-able Disney characters that originated in Japan. These vinyl cuties come in a blind bag. The package says series one. Hopefully this means more series to come!

There is ten different Tsum Tsum characters to collect. Each pack includes one medium figure and one stackable accessory. The accessory differs with each Tsum Tsum. Sebastian sits in a clam, Marie lounges in her bed and Dumbo has his camera that accompanies him in the shorts. I want all of these Tsum Tsum, They look adorable! But, I am hoping for Figaro, Marie and Dumbo. Fingers crossed!

And the results are:

Minnie, Marie and Figaro! Well I got two out of three. Not bad at all! Minnie sit on a big bow. Marie has a posh pink four post bed. Figaro sits on Cleo fish bowl. The paint job and details on the figures look great. There is some assembly required on the fishbowl and the bed. It is not complicated enough to require instructions. These cute vinyls are fun to collect and a great addition to any Tsum Tsum collection. I know that we will be adding more to our collection soon! Be on the look out for series two now.

Tsum Tsum Spiderman swings in to the Disney Store March 15

2016-03-01T03:03:00.003-08:00

The second Tsum Tsum Tuesday of March brings Spiderman! The Web slinger set is relatively small with only five characters in the set. Since the classic Spiderman in his blue and red outfit is already on shelves the black and red will be in this set. Along with Green Goblin, Dr Connors in lizard form, Rhino, and a very cool looking Venom, this set is going to be very nice! I look forward to March 15 when the set is released. Though I have to admit. I look forward to Venom the most!

Tsum Tsum Tuesday March 2016

2016-03-01T02:20:00.002-08:00

It is that time again! The first Tuesday of the month is Tsum Tsum Tuesday!!!!! This months main release is Tangled. The set features six characters. I had wished that they would of included one Theif, but oh well. It is nice to have a smaller set this time around. Or did I speak to soon?

Because this month also has a Easter release. Mickey and Minnie are dressed as bunnies while Pooh and Eyeore sport fashionable chick and lamb outfits. All four come in a plush Easter basket. Very cute! But wait! There is more!

The Disney Parks exclusive Pirates of the Caribbean is available now on the Disney Store web site. This seven Tsum Tsum set is a perfect addition to any collection. Once again Disney has found a way to take all my money!

Happy hunting my fellow Tsum Tsum Fanatics, May the mouse be in your favor!

Wifi Baby Monitor in Action!

2016-02-29T19:02:00.000-08:00

My husband works full time and is also a full time student. Periodically through his day he uses his phone or computer and through the WiFi Baby Monitor he checks in on us. He often snaps photos of the us playing or at nap-time. He told me that it is "what gets me through the day". WiFi Baby 4 features HD video, 8x zoom via apps. The picture is clear and does make a great photo! See well beyond the crib with a 35% wider view vs. WiFi Baby 3. Only monitor to support audio and alerts while using other apps.

Loot Crate February 2016 Unboxing

2016-02-25T20:38:00.002-08:00

This months Loot Crate theme is Dead. Of course this conjures images of zombies. Which is appropriate since the majority of the box is The Walking Dead related. I really don't care for zombies so this months box is not as great as it usually is for me. Don't get me wrong the quality of the Walking Dead items are great. It is just that I can live without them. The redeeming factor from this box is the two Deadpool items. Deadpool is everywhere right now with the movie being released this month. I was very happy to see Deadpool this month.

Here is whats inside this months box!

1.) Loot Crate Pin- This month is a zombie Loot Box

2.) Loot Crate Book that has all the information needed to survive the zombie hoards.

3.) Exclusive Q Fig Deadpool Statue. A great figure of Deadpool with an explosion behind him.

4.) Walking Dead's Daryl Ear Necklace. I literally don't know what to do with this. It is to creepy to display or use. Guess we will be re-gifting this one.

5.) McFarlane Walking Dead Mystery Figure

6.) Deadpool Tacos Shirt. This is the best item in the box. The graphic is hilariously awesome. I put this shirt on as soon as I saw it. There is no way I am letting my husband get his hands on this one!

That is all for now. Have a Magical Day!!!!!

Spoon and Moon Handmade Sloth

2016-02-23T07:41:00.000-08:00

Today's review is on the Slumber Sloth by Spoon and Moon. I came across this adorable critter looking for the perfect Valentines gift for my newborn. It is his first Valentines and I wanted something special for him. I found Spoon and Moon through their Etsy shop. They have what are called Slumberland Creatures to help your little one when nap time comes. Slumberland Creatures are anything from chicks to Bigfoot. I settled on the most popular creature the sloth.

Each Slumberland Creature comes with a Sleepytime Rhyme to read with your little before the sandman comes. It goes:

Slumberland creatures were developed by two mothers and educators as a lovey blanket in creature form. Since our Slumberland Creatures are hand-cut and hand-embroidered, there will be differences from one finished creature to the next. Dimensions may vary, but the creatures range from 14-16 inches in length and 9-12 inches wide (widest point is usually the feet). The sloth is made from super soft faux fur and stuffed with hypoallergenic polyester fiberfill. It really is not difficult to cozy up with this creature for nap time.

For more information or to purchase your own Slumberland Creature visit Spoon and Moon at www.etsy.com/shop/spoonandmoonshop .

Tsum Tsum Release for March 2016!

2016-02-18T11:38:00.001-08:00

The March release for Tsum Tsums will be Tangled! Photos of this collection was leaked back in fall of 2015. The set itself is not a huge surprised. We just didn't know if there were any characters that photos were not leaked. I welcome this set. All the characters looks great as Tsum Tsums. Another aspect I love is that this set is a only features six Tsum Tsums. A nice break from the large twelve- thirteen Tsum Tsum sets that have been released lately.

Look for the Tangled Tsum Tsums to be hitting shelves on March 1!

Great news today! Today is my first Instagram giveaway!!!! I am very excited to team up this week with Mama and Little Teething Jewelry to giveaway $50 in store credit. I have been a huge fan of this brand since it came out in 2014. The wonderful Creator and Head Mama in Charge Arleene introduced a unique style that is a fresh and has rightly earn this brand the title of "The original hip teething jewelry". Her new approach to silicone teething jewelry offering on-trend colors and designs that are wearable for the modern mama. As being the original creators of the silicone hexagon bead teething necklace, it has become their trademark style.

Now I am not lying when I say that I am a fan. I currently own ten necklaces. The great thing is that there is always a style that will go with any outfit. With two kids under two this jewelry has been a lifesaver! It works great for my teething 20 month old and my newborn holds on to it as he breastfeeds. With the jewelry being made of silicone it is easy to clean! Baby wipes works perfectly when you are out in about. You can also wash the jewelry on the top rack of the dishwasher.

Happy Baby Wrap Review

2016-01-19T05:22:00.000-08:00

When I found out that I was pregnant with my second baby I knew that my hands were going to be full. With a one year old and a newborn i was going to have to grow a couple more arms or find a way to manage. Something that I always wanted to try was baby wearing. It would allow me to keep baby with me while I work and chase a toddler.

I decided to try the Happy Baby Wrap. I got it in the beautiful warm color called Sunshine. I have always loved the color yellow. So bright and happy. The material that the wrap is made of is bamboo which makes the wrap feel super soft and expensive. It also makes the wrap very stretchy. The wrap can hold up to 30 lbs. Which is again good since my baby loves to eat! I have a feeling that baby will be growing fast.

This is my first wrap. I have use baby carriers before but this is the first time I had to tie my own wrap. I admit it, I was nervous. I was always afraid that I would tie the wrap wrong or two loose and I would hurt my baby. My worries where quickly put to rest. Happy Baby Wrap included a instruction manual with my wrap that went through step by step. This made me feel reassured that I was doing it right.

I am happy to announce that on my second try I did it right! Go Me!!!! Kimo seems to really like the closeness that baby wearing provides for us. I really enjoy the fact I can do chores without having to put him down. I seem to get way more done now.

Bebe au Lait Muslin Nursing Scarf Review

2016-01-11T11:29:00.004-08:00

The day I got home from the hospital with baby I was surprised to have a package waiting for me. I received this much appreciated happy mail from Bebe au Lait. This is the brand new muslin infinity nursing scarf from Bebe au Lait. there is three designs. Mine is called Sahara. It is a really beautiful coral color. It reminds me of spring.

My babies hate being covered up. Which is understandable. Babies get hot and it is hard to breathe. However, both babies approve of this nursing cover.The nursing scarf is 100% cotton.Which means that it is very lightweight and breathable. I find that they both enjoy touching the scarf, I don't blame them since it is super soft.

The nursing scarf costs $30.00. For more information or to purchase visit www.bebeaulait.com
