Creative play with Connetix

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 02:43:00 +0000

Just opened up an email and my eyes were excited to learn avojy Connetix Mini Packs. The big stegosaurus caught my eye since my littlest is into all things dinosaurs. Developmentally this is where my youngest is at—matching colors, identifying shapes, and loving puzzles. This one you can tick all three boxes and then some. Definitely adding this to his Birthday and Christmas list this year!

With multiple kids in the house I like a toy that can span a wide age range and still spark play in each of them.

Moana 2

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 18:25:00 +0000

We had a blast! The movie theatre’s decoration is excellent. In the eyes of this toddler—these vivid pictures is what this was all about. Having a three year old in the movie theatre is always a gamble. Fill those little hands with food and drinks! But this movie kept him captivated. He laughed when all the other little kids in the audience laughed.

For adults there was enough jokes to keep it going. My older two ages 8 and 14 were laughing and enjoyed the movie as well.

After the movie was done he was excited to pose with all the decorations up for Moana 2!

Movie is out:

Disney plus has it now! Make a movie night in! Popcorn, nachos, candy, or maybe healthy fruits

Life with a 3 year old

What does one do when their toddler is no longer a toddler?

With this new stage of life I have had to dig deep into our closets and find toys that have been packed away.

Oh my ducks! Water can always be a fun way to make otherwise normal plastic duck toys 💯 x 💯 more interesting.

These ducks we picked up from a thrift shop were a steal. Lots of fun initially because they are an animal he can sound like, pick up and hold easily, and a bountiful amount of them.

Lightweight these ducklings can be easily packed into an on the go back pack. They do have this amazing ability to float! This doubles as a fun bath time toy. And something for when he comprehends shapes!

Where can you get them?

A quick search on the internet and one can pick up some from eBay. Or if you thrift you just might make a score!

Urban Adventure Quest: Family Fun Scavenger Hunt in the City

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 17:36:00 +0000

A friend of mine a few years back said she wanted to do a scavenger hunt. In my mind I thought that was way too much work to plan it all out. I'm sorry to say the idea got tabled. But I just happened to find out about a company that take all the work and planning out for you. It's called Urban Adventure Quest.

I lived in Seattle for a short time as a college student. Though I lived there, I had little time to really take in and enjoy the sites. Not to mention as a freshman young lady, being alone in a city walking alone is just not ideal. I wish I could have taken in the sights more, and now that I am not taking classes on a daily basis and cooped up in a classroom---I have time to hit up Seattle as a tourist! I see all these movies, and pictures of Seattle--and though I have been up the Space Needle and walked around in the different parks and museums. There is a lot I have yet to experience!

Have you ever felt the same? Well, I am very excited to share with you Urban Adventure Quest that gives you the chance to have the sights and fun--without the headache of hashing out and planning it yourself.

What is Urban Adventure Quest?

Turn Seattle, WA or any major city into a giant game board with this fun scavenger hunt adventure. Combine the excitement of the Amazing Race with a three-hour city tour. Guided from any smart phone, teams make their way among well known and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history.

Play anytime during daylight hours.
Start when you want and play at your pace.
Great Family Fun.

Exclusive Special Offer for my readers:

Save 20%- Only $39.20 for a team of 2-5 people after Promotion Code: FGBLOG.
Sign up online at www.UrbanAdventureQuest.com.

I for one am excited to get together my band of friends and tour Seattle!

What about you? Are you excited at the possibility of doing an Amazing Race with your band of friends? What city are you from?

Fall fun at the Maris Farm Fall Festival

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 16:14:00 +0000

Anybody ready for the Fall Festivities to begin? I sure am.
A friend of ours had her first batch of tiny pumpkins harvested--which amped up my excitement for hitting the Farms to pick out our pumpkins.

One local farm in Washington State is Maris Farm. This farm has a ton to offer. Major attractions include a 5-acre Corn Maze and a 5-acre Pumpkin Patch.

My husband is not keen on doing festivities like this because of the major amount of people that flock to events like this. Thankfully Maris Farm during weekday visits offer a quieter experience at a lower cost. I am looking forward to this!

This year they have a Wizard of Oz corn maze. I am such a fan of this movie. Judy Garland singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" just gives me all the memories when I was a little girl. The magical world of Oz was so real to me as a kid. I cannot wait to see this corn maze and share the thrill of my childhood memories as Dorothy runs from the Wicked Witch of the West.

If you are local to the WA area be sure to grab this EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT -
Come out to Maris Farms on either of the first two weekends (Sept. 29th/30th or Oct. 6th/7th) of the season and enjoy great savings at one of the Northwest's favorite fall family entertainment destinations.

You'll can navigate the Wizard of Oz corn maze, pick your favorite pumpkin, brave the Haunted Woods and enjoy more than 35 other great activities for $5 off with this coupon.

Our God is Able

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 15:05:00 +0000

This was something my daughter and I talked about after reading this in the Bible.

I wanted her to realize that sometimes in life there are unavoidable things. That there are tough situations and circumstances and if she found herself in one of them she could trust God to be there. Sometimes He will save you and sometimes He won’t,but whatever happens He will be there with you and not leave you.

I wanted her to realize that sometimes in life there are unavoidable things. That there are tough situations and circumstances and if she found herself in one of them she could trust God to be there. Sometimes He will save you and sometimes He won’t, but whatever happens He will be there with you and not leave you.

“If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up."”
‭‭Daniel‬ ‭3:17-18‬ ‭ESV‬‬
http://bible.com/59/dan.3.17-18.

We talked about how they might have felt afraid of dying. We talked about how this situation was scary. They had these feelings yet they responded in faith. They had a hope. They had God. Even if God didn’t save them, God would be there to take them up to heaven. Ultimately God would still deliver them either way. They had full confidence in A God who was very real and very powerful and very faithful. They had their eyes looking up to God who was their help.

This year I did something new and crazy. She's in school. At home I have this crazy thought, " I can keep her safe." In fact when she's with me, I cannot control whether or not we get in a car wreck or by some freak accident our house collapses or....I cannot control and keep her totally safe. Putting her in school made me realize how little I can control. There is no telling what danger or threats could happen, but the fact is God is in control. He needs to be not only my peace, but hers as well. He needs to be real in her life. She finds her ultimate safety in Him alone.

I took a breath of relief after we finished this conversation. God worked it out that we could talk about this! My fears as a parent were laid down at His feet. I can only pray for her to understand and know the One true God who is able to save.

Halloween and Facepaint

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 15:05:00 +0000

Halloween is coming! For us we celebrate by having a Candy Carnival where families from all around can come to our church and play games for fun doodads and of course CANDY.
It really is fun and we always get hundreds of families from the community and beyond attend. I know that I tend to wait till the last minute to figure out costumes. We went shopping at Goodwill and on the Facebook Buy Sell Trade sites--but in the end I just not happy with the quality or the costumes they had. Luckily I had ordered Face Paint so the skies were the limit. I looked around my daughter's closet and found a leopard print jacket. The bonus part was that it had ears! She loved it.

The day of , I browsed through Pinterest for inspiration. Grabbed the Go Green Face Paint I bought off of Amazon and experimented with her. I picked it because it was one that advertised itself as hypoallergenic face paint. I was a bit worried about her getting a red rash on her face, but this paint was great! I am quite happy with the paint itself. It was quite creamy and vibrant with color. Though we did use that tiny brush last year, I am ready to upgrade a tad bit and get some different brushes to do different things and get different effects.

This is my review I had posted on Amazon.com last year.

Really enjoyed using this super smooth face paint. With vibrant colors I say it was such a great find! Very satisfied. The paint stayed on well for the whole night. She wowed everyone because the paint was really vibrant and resisted smudging.

Here’s two pictures of before trick or treating and after. She had wiped her mouth off intentionally at dinner because she was at the drinking fountain and was eating soup. But I am very impresses at how well the paint stayed on.

Over all 5/5

There are two types of packs—the 16 and the 6 color pack. We got the 6 color pack which I feel would cover about 30+ faces. The 16 pack Is the one that covers about 100+ faces. The description got me confused because lol I should have figured the 16 pack covered the 100+ Not the 6. Thought maybe the package of 6 was huge wells of paint or something.

Note: in the beginning I added water—-totally didn’t know there was a thin plastic layer over the paints. For the first two times I was frustrated as to why the paint was not mixing. It was because there was a thin plastic on top of the paint to keep from it drying out. Many reviews have stated how they were disappointed—-it’s so easy to miss that film. I did it twice after an hour of using the watery paint I made. When I finally examined the problem and found the plastic covering the paints,things went smoothly and I was really happy with the results.

I bought these six colors for Halloween with my own money and I do recommend them. Next year I will buy these again for certain.

You can find the paints here: Go Green Facepaint

Well, as I try to figure out what my kids will be for this year's Halloween I hope you enjoy pictures from our last year's costumes.

Ultimate Healthy Meal Planning Bundle Sale plus 2 Free Printables

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 22:45:00 +0000

I remember my earlier years of being married. I started out great in home cooking, and preparing meals. I was living out to the Romantic Ideals I had in my head. Then it all came crashing down. I began sleeping in. Getting a tad lazy to make the usual bacon and eggs in the morning. My poor husband ended up hitting Jack in the Box for breakfast in the morning. Then he soon resorted to buying lunch since he was already there and his little sweet wife (me) started sleeping in. Thus began the cycle of convenience foods. Do you recall everyone warning about the "Freshman 15?" ---Well I wished someone told me about the Newly Married Fall-out 15.

I ate out too much that I resorted to convenience foods frequently.

Now I've in a way recovered and fallen into a little bit more of a routine because we just don't have the money to eat out. Because over the years we have added to our family with TWO KIDS!

Now I seem to have shifted from buying fast food to well---filling my cart with snacks and miscellaneous things but enough to make a few meals out of. Do you ever go grocery shopping without a list? That's me.

I have a friend who has a meal plan and a grocery list and she accomplishes saving money AND having a game plan. Yes, I do roll my eyes at her, but secretly I envy having the time to meal plan. It is not my forte. I tend to log on to Pinterest and browse. Pin. Yet....forget about writing it down or printing it off.

Basically, I spent tons of time, money, and empty calories feeding myself and my family all because I didn’t have a plan. It was frustrating, discouraging, and a money waster.

If you’ve ever felt like this, meal planning is a total game-changer.

Once I started meal planning, I felt less of a burden or worry when the time for lunch or dinner drew nearer. And meal planning could be the missing key that helps you save money, de-stress dinnertime, lose weight, and eat healthier, too!

Let me introduce you to

Kids Dealing with Anger--Book Review

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 21:26:00 +0000

Feelings of anger and frustration are just two of the many emotions kids have to learn how to navigate through. As a parent, I find it difficult how to put into words what I desire my kids to learn. I have a two-year-old and an eight-year-old. They are so different not only in age but in development. So sometimes I find myself caught off guard in how to explain to two kids at the same time who are fighting and angry with each other.

For us as parents how can we help children cope with this strong emotion?

I came across this really short and simple book that gives children a visual of their inner turmoil. The pages contain illustrations for the kids to relate to visually. The illustrations are in black and white for the kids to personalize and color. which can be a great way for them to remember what they are learning and really make this book unique and personal to them!

I find that though it is geared to maybe five or six- years and up, it can still be a great book for little ears to hear. It has a nice rhymic soothing pattern that can help calm the young ones.

For older ones the book gives alternatives to blasting out in anger. Instead of reacting, the book in playful rhyme redirects kid to several brain training games. Examples to name a few: spelling out words or do math problems.

Although most of the book are things I sort of heard before in my passion for reading parenting books, I think that this would be nice to have in my kids' shelves. I think the idea of hot lava flowing, and all the descriptions of what happens before a volcano explodes is a great way to help kids understand all their emotions. This book gives word and pictures to the mysterious and chaotic big emotions children often have.

Overall this is a book I would not mind having on our bookshelf. I like that it gives me another tool in working with my kids. I feel like it is maybe a three starred book. I do love colorful illustrations not from my child’s coloring. Some of the verbiage are meant for an older kid like my eight-year old.

You can find this The Anger Volcano on Amazon

About the Author

Amanda Greenslade is a writer from Queensland, Australia who is the author of children's books and an epic fantasy series.

Greenslade wrote The Anger Volcano for her exuberant autism spectrum child who has a hyposensitive sensory processing disorder.

Some children are more prone to have angry outbursts, or even meltdowns, because of emotional (or other) triggers like dealing with anger and frustration or sensory under- or over-stimulation.

Autism spectrum kids, as well as children in general, can benefit from being more mindful about their emotions. The Anger Volcano is all about empowering them to train their own brain to react in a better way than shouting or hitting out in the heat of the moment.

Hope in the 2018

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Wed, 17 Jan 2018 13:58:00 +0000

Never have I chosen a "word" for the new year, and this year I did not really choose one. This last year I felt the lows of the holidays. I felt a lot of disillusionment. Waking up in the morning to crack at the day before sleeping babies to make Christmastime "magical and special" was difficult. I did not get accomplished my grand plans of reading the Luke 2 story every morning and introducing a new special Nativity Piece. In fact my 7 year old found the box of Nativity and broke it out before Thanksgiving even had a chance. The surprise in purchasing of this Little People Nativity set sort of just went up in flames.

In short. I felt frustrated and a failure. We had no Christmas tree. We did not really set up new Christmas Family traditions.

At the lowest part of my December-January year, I remember just crying out to God for help. Telling my heavenly Father...."I can't. I just can't..."

Relief flooded down my face along with a mixture of grief and pain and feelings of failure.
The turning point from where I was to where I am now has been slow imperfect progress. The day after I felt like a slug. Doubts and questions swam around in my thoughts. "Do I want to open the Bible? Would I really be encouraged and better? Maybe....."

Reading the Word and just asking God to make it alive again has helped. Hoping in being transformed with each step and decision has helped. Seeing my kids rely and trust in me to be everything they needs has really pushed me to dig down deep and not give up. With everything going on in the world....my children need a steadfast Hope...and no it is not me, but God. When the ground shakes and the mountains crumble--they need something truly reliable to stand on, and that is His truth.

How to get those Captured Moments in a Photo Album

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 16:54:00 +0000

With kids being young, I find myself taking a barrage of photos. Every moment captured is a memory kept--I feel the need to catalog and treasure! Sometimes...maybe too much. Perhaps it is just how easy it is to point and shoot without fear of wasting film. Do you remember those days? Where you have to wind up your camera and only have 24 exposures? Each shot had to count! I sort of miss those simple days. I sort of miss those days when we actually ran to get these pictures developed and placed in an album. It is always such a hassle for me to sit down a moment and sort through pictures and pictures of moments. Do you ever struggle with that? I do! When I finally got a quiet moment in the middle of the night, I played around with the thousands of photos I did have. And within an hour I had finished getting my photo album ordered!

Amazing right?

So how did I do it?

1. Carve Out the Time.
I know this is a hard one. If you needed to get something done, it is usually because we have had to carve out time. To Make it, we got to plan to do it.
2. Gather and Load up.
Gather and load up those pictures that have been cluttering up your phone or if you are amazing--get that memory card out from your camera!
3. Pick a Collection of pictures that you want to put in the album.
This is usually the time that I look at all the pictures that I have, and I decide what I want to do. Maybe it was a day at a park, or a birthday party or a day where you went camera happy...what you want to do is group them up together.
4. Import photos to Collage.com where you can start creating your photo album!
I personally was surprised at how many hours I can spend arranging and rearranging photos. I have used and ordered from a few websites, but I have found that Collage.com is so truly very user-friendly. Collage.com is one that I highly recommend.

Importing and Uploading to Collage.com
From the start, importing my photos is simple. I found that Collage.com quickly and easily located my pictures. I loved the fact that it gave me options to download from my Facebook and Google accounts. Sometimes I have pictures posted on my social sites that I have forgotten. I find that having this option to download from other places is a great perk.

Easy Set up
Next, it gives me the quick option of placing the pictures for me. Sometimes it helps not looking at a blank canvas. I click yes usually because it gives me an idea of what this photo album will look like. It automatically puts it in chronological order too!

Rearranging Pictures
Editing using Collage.com has been simple by far. If you like to rearrange furniture--you will love how easy it is to move and resize pictures. I had fun rearranging a page because there's this automatic button you click on that shuffles pictures for you! Dragging and dropping pictures to the different pages was a breeze. I liked the way Collage.com has it all laid out for me to see all the pages. It was not constantly trying to figure out what was on which page. I was able to see what my photobook would look like on my screen. I especially loved how easy it was to go back and upload more pictures if I needed to. Everything went smoothly and no crashing or loss of work done when I needed to upload more photos. It was rather a pleasant and almost therapeutic experience!

Here's a Screenshot of what it looks like in the editing phase. Here I have highlighted what I use when I have a collage. The options to flip a picture, shuffle, change out borders, and more. I really find it fun to find that perfect look.

Editing Pictures
Can I just say how hard it COULD be to edit pictures? One feature that I have to say is wonderful is Collage.com's Editing picture tool. For a person who is not really familiar with all the photo editing lingo--this feature that they have is perfect! I can click to edit individual pictures--adjusting brightness, adding text, Cropping, and more. This feature has saved me time. There were a number of pictures that I have taken that were too dark, and I was able to quickly adjust the brightness.

I love the finished product. Not only did Collage.com capture our memories and finally put it into our hands as a photo album, but they also gave me a quality product that did not waste my time or money.
Collage.com is highly recommended by me. I am excited to start on my next photo album!

Disclosure: I did receive a free photobook for the purpose of reviewing and trying out Collage.com. I was not required to write a positive review. All reviews are my personal own opinion.

Pumpkin Bash: Woodland Park Zoo

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 15:26:00 +0000

What an amazing time our family had at the Woodland Park Zoo!

This was our first time going to Woodland's Zoo Pumpkin Bash. Hands down, it was a really fun experience for the whole family. My daughter loved seeing other kids dressed up in their Halloween costumes! It added to the magic of being at the zoo.

We saw squirrels up and close as they got into our carts when we parked to go visit the bird exhibit! Luckily everything was packed away. So for those with strollers--pack those goodies away before you park or you might have a cunning squirrel pay your stroller a visit!

I absolutely love this part of the zoo. Seeing these little otters dart and swim with such ease....

This was probably the kids' favourite! One will hear all sorts of giggles and squeals of laughter as these swim by.

There was so much to do! There were games to play as well as educational and interactive "See and Touch" places.

Pumpkin Bash is definitely one for the books. We loved being able to play the games and win more than just candy. They offered prizes such as bananas and clementines! My little one loved winning a banana to munch on as we visited the animals. The different tents were a bit spread out as you enter the gates which made it feel less overwhelming with kids. I advise going early in the day so as to have enough time to play the games once or twice through as well as visit the animals. We enjoyed spotting the Halloween decoration elements in the animal exhibits.

My conclusion: My oldest was super excited at the chance to do some trick or treating for candy before Halloween night. Children in costumes get a great discount. Stopping points to offer me a few treats for parents is a win! Fresh fruit as prizes--such a great idea! Our family had a blast and will plan to go again next year.

Holiday meals your whole family can enjoy even with Allergies

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 00:39:00 +0000

Hey Friend,

I deal with my husband's milk allergies as well as his family who deal with many other food sensitivities. Many family get togethers involve cooking one type of food with all the goodies and one without. It can make preparation in the kitchen very wearisome indeed. I know I get tired and worry if I have missed an allergy that my in-laws have. On top of the stress of figuring out a great recipe that is allergy friendly--I worry if it will taste good!

That’s why I’m so excited to tell you about the Food Allergy Freedom Collection.
Put together by my friends at Ultimate Bundles, it includes 280 tried-and-true holiday recipes, including:

Cakes, cookies, pies and candies that follow a Top 8 Allergen-Free diet

Seventh Generation Baby Products Review

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Thu, 17 Aug 2017 22:03:00 +0000

I love getting goodies to try out. Today we tried out the following:

NEW Seventh Generation Coconut Care™ moisture lotion
Free & Clear Diapers - Two Size 2 diapers
Free & Clear Wipes - Two trial wipes

Seventh Generation Coconut Care moisture lotion
This lotion is really nice. It is Sulfate-free, paraben-free, dye-free. I tried the sample size and packed it in my bag for on the go. I was not let down by Seventh Generation at all. Sure enough while running errands--my hands felt dry. The first thing I noticed was the nice light scent. Not overpowering at all. As I squeezed a bit on my hands and bit on my legs, I noticed how it did not leave a weird greasy film. To me this lotion absorbed into my skin quickly. Refreshed, I went about my day. I am hoping to get to the store to purchase a regular size! It is a lotion I would definitely purchase for myself and my kids.

Free & Clear Diapers - Two Size 2 diapers
We also got the opportunity to try Seventh Generation Free & Clear Diapers for my six month old. First impression---Adorable woodland prints! The fit was really nice for him. It held as much as my other diapers and did not leak. I am quite impressed with this Free & Clear Diaper.
Our day out of town resulted in my husband running out to the store and purchasing a pack because we liked it. We usually use cloth diapers, but we felt this was a good purchase since we would be out of town for the day.

Here is a little bit of information from their website regarding their diapers:

Seventh Generation diapers have an ultra-absorbent core that prevents leaks and is made with 0% chlorine bleaching, fragrances or lotions. We design our diapers to care for your baby as well as the health of the next seven generations.

·       As always, Seventh Generation Free & Clear baby diapers are made for your baby’s sensitive skin; the same great diapers you love now have a new look!
·       The ultra-absorbent, high capacity core of our baby diapers provides premium leak protection to keep your baby’s skin protected and dry.
·       Our diapers are hypoallergenic, free from lotions and fragrances, and the core of our diaper is free from chlorine bleaching.
· The wood pulp in the core of our diapers is sustainably sourced and FSC® certified, helping to protect the world’s forests and the animals who depend on them. FSC® C115279
·       Seventh Generation diapers are made right here in the U.S.A. and are available in both original without designs and with NEW animal designs.

Free & Clear Wipes
These Wipes are hypoallergenic, paraben-free, no fragrance added, ethyl alcohol-free which are great for the sensitive baby bottoms. The two wipes I used held up and did not fall apart or anything. If your baby has sensitive skin--Seventh Generation is a great option.

Isaiah 25:1

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Sun, 13 Aug 2017 17:41:00 +0000

In a world that is just crazy and full of turmoil and unrest---I am reminded of the Lord who is faithful and in control in the midst of all this. I think of all my friends going through hard marriages and struggles. I think of Job in the Bible going through major trials--yet never cursing God.

I will exalt you and praise your name for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things planned long ago. In spite of everything God we look to you!

Rinseworks Aquaus 360 Diaper Sprayer Review

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 06:42:00 +0000

Simply a Great product. The hardware is solid and I have no complaints about the quality. The water stream is strong enough to rinse off poopy diapers, and is easy to adjust the pressure. What is nice about this is that one can adjust the stream of water. With other kitchen spray nozzles you simply can't do that! Another reason why I liked this was that the Install was simple. It took a matter of 5 minutes and I did not have to use any tools. Be sure that the diaper sprayer is "off" before turning on water by the way. It sprayed a good six feet. This sprayer has a lot of poop spray power.

I like the fact that this comes with a diaper sprayer holder that simply hooks over the toilet (you don't have to use tools at all). It's a hook that literally hooks over the toilet. Other diaper sprayers that I have bought did not have that option. It has been about a month and no leaks. I thought that it would be a bummer having to turn off the valve after each use, but it's so simple and I don't mind it at all. I would buy this again for a friend or for our second bathroom. I highly recommend this. I paid full price for this product, I was not asked to write a review. I bought this after reading reviews and after many hours of research. I also felt like their warranty was solid. If I ever had a leak they would stand by their product! This company made me feel like I was making a safe decision, so I jumped on it. I also saw alot of positive reviews and they are certainly not wrong about this diaper sprayer.

One can find this diaper sprayer here on Amazon: Aquaus 360 Diaper Sprayer

Disclaimer: I am quite happy with my purchase and am a satisfied customer who wanted to write a review. I purchased this product with my own money and for the reason of cleaning our dirty poopy diapers. I was not asked to write this review, but provided this review so that I may help others see how this product worked out.

Baby-Led Weaning Family Cookbook Review

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 06:37:00 +0000

This book has paved a way for me to confidently feed my nine month old real food without having to make "baby food". I have an older child and for her I had many fears and a lot of questions on how to start solids. This book is very simplistic in its style, but it is not a negative. It actually was perfect for a mom who may be pressed for time and needs to do a quick speed read. I was able to sit down and read this book within an hour and come back to it from time to time when I needed to.

Why do I recommend this book?

It offers bullet points and bright boxes that highlights important information and tidbits of advice. The book is eye catching in its illustrations and offers the right amount of knowledge and information. I quickly get glossy eyed with a book that has way too much information that I can handle. This is a rather quick, short and sweet reference book when it comes to baby led weaning. Lastly, I enjoyed utilizing this book with my child. It gave me a confidence to "DO". Happily my now 10 month old eats at the table with us. The best thing is that I did not have to put any extra effort into making "baby food". I do like that this book includes recipes. Although I have yet to try them, I do like how this book has recipes on hand to try out.

Find this book for preorder on Amazon: Baby-Led Weaning: Family Cookbook

Parenting Super Bundle 2017: Sneek Peak!

noreply@blogger.com (Nathania) — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 06:31:00 +0000

When you were a kid, did you try to figure out the contents of your birthday present before you unwrapped it? Were you the “shake and listen” expert? Or did you employ a little plastic surgery on the wrapping paper (in a less visible location, of course) to see if you could catch a glimpse of what you were getting? That’s what I thought ;-). Well, it’s time for a sneak peek (and you don’t even have to unwrap or shake or anything!). I've already told you about the Parenting Super Bundle. You already know it’s worth over $1270, but you pay less than $30.

And you already know you’ll get access to 80 resources like eBooks, eCourses, printable, workbooks, and more! That all sounds really good, right? But I know you. You’d like to see the real thing. I get it. For the first time ever, the Ultimate Bundles team put together a special inside look for curious people, just like you. Now, you can’t see everything (I mean, there still has to be some element of surprise, right?), but if you’ve been hoping for a sneak peek of the printables, planners and workbooks inside the Parenting Super Bundle,
here’s your chance!

Psst...This is just a small sampling of all the printables that are included!
Whoa! It looks awesome, right? Want to see more? You can click here to see the full list of everything in the bundle: https://us154.isrefer.com/go/PARSB2017/a2830/

P.S. One small request… if this sneak peek piqued your interest (hee hee, pun fully intended), just make sure you don’t wait. I was allowed to give you this inside look, but the one thing I can’t do is extend the sale, which ends in only 6 days! Check it out now: Check Out Ultimate Bundle
