Awesome Clothing & Gifts from Apericots {Giveaway}

Can I admit something to you? Other than some maternity clothes before the trip, I haven’t purchased a single item of clothing for myself in over a year, at least. I used to go into stores and head straight to shoes or women’s clothing. But now, where do I go? Straight for the toddler section. Geeze, someone help me with a little girl on the way.

I just can’t help it…kids clothes are so adorable and fun to buy…for Trent and for other kids I know. So when Apericots contacted me to pick out something for Trent, I couldn’t have been more excited!

Apericots

Apericots offer shirts for all members of your family, from infants all the way to adults, along with totes, pillow cases and other fun items. Their items have funny or cute sayings and pictures, with popular references to movies, music and current events.

They also have holiday/seasonal items…how cute are these shirt for babies/kids for Father’s Day?!

Apericots Dad Collage

I went to their website and found so many cute/funny items! Knowing we’d be attending Star Wars Weekend at Walt Disney World, I originally started looking at the Star Wars items. However, when I saw this shirt, I just had to have it…for Trent, of course!

Heisenburger

We did not watch Breaking Bad when it was on tv, but we have been binge watching it on Netflix the past few months and are now in the final season. Heisenberg is the pseudonym for the main character, Walter White. Anyone that watches the show might ask how this reference is appropriate for a toddler…to them I say “Because it adds ‘burger’ to the end!” Oh, and “Because it’s funny!”

The shirt came in a deep, bold red with dark black print. Trent is somewhere in the 2T to 3T range, so I ordered a 3T…which was a little big, but still fit. I’m glad he will get several uses out of it before he grows fast like toddlers do!

During our trip, we had reservations at a Star Wars dinner, so I thought it would be perfect for him to wear his red semi-villainous shirt to declare he was choosing the Dark Side!

Star Wars Dinner-42

It was really hot and humid out, and this shirt was great…it’s not heavy, so Trent seemed comfortable in it the entire night. Several people pointed it out and said they loved it! A definite conversation-starter!!

Star Wars Dinner-43

If only I could have found a similar hat for him to wear with his shirt!

Adorable Disney Baby Items Available at Walmart

It’s no secret we’re Disney fans…we know it and so do all of our friends and family. Even complete strangers know it just by looking at us…Trent almost always has his Mickey hat on! He’s already been to Disney World 6 times and he’s not even 2 years old!

Disney Collage

When creating Trent’s nursery and now a girl nursery, of course we had to find ways to sprinkle in some of that Disney magic in there. Trent’s baby shower was Disney-themed and you can be sure he received some cute Disney items as gifts before he was even born! Some of our baby items, including toys and feeding items, have Disney characters on it and family and friends will often send us photos of the fun Disney items they find while shopping.

But did you know you don’t have to travel to a Disney park to find the cutest Disney baby items?

That’s right! In fact, you don’t have to travel far at all, since Walmart offers the official Disney Baby Collection!

ARTWORK_DisneyBabyLayout2

Disney Baby is focused on Creating magical moments right from the startâ„¢, with Positive family-bonding and everyday magical moments with a dash of magic that you can only expect from Disney.

ARTWORK_DisneyBabyLayout1

When Trent was first born, we knew we wouldn’t be headed back to Disney World for a while, so we really loved that fact that we could find Disney items close to us without having to travel to the parks. I found such cute pajamas and other clothing items there, as well as fun toys and accessories.

They offer everything from clothes, to strollers, to bedding, and much more - with characters such as Mickey, Minnie, Winnie the Pooh, and more. Know someone that’s expecting? Or maybe you have a little one of your own that could use a dash of Disney magic? Here are some fun Disney Baby items that you can currently find…and since we’re expecting a little girl, I’ll put the focus on the Minnie Mouse products available at Walmart!

 

I really love this Minnie Mouse Coral Flowers Collection. It’s girly, but in a chic, not overly pink sort of way. I love the mix of pink, black and white. I also like that Disney Baby teamed up with Safety 1st to create quality baby gear. It features the following items:

o Disney Baby MINNIE MOUSE Coral Flowers Saunter Sport LC-22 Travel System from Safety 1st

Bring a little magic into your child’s day with the Disney Saunter Sport LC-22 Travel System in the Coral Flowers Minnie Mouse fashion. The stroller features a large storage basket, multiple cup holders and a multi-position seat recline to help make your journeys more enjoyable. The two-section stroller canopy has a window panel, letting you see baby while walking in stroller mode, and the infant car seat is extra lightweight for easy transfers between the car and wherever you want to go!

o Disney Baby MINNIE MOUSE Coral Flowers Care Center Play Yard from Safety 1st

Give your little character a magical place to rest and play with the Disney Care Center Play Yard in the Minnie Mouse Coral Flowers fashion. This adaptable play yard features a newborn bassinet with open-view, breathable mesh and an easy-reach changer with deluxe storage for quick and easy diaper changes. The spacious Disney Care Center Play Yard is ideal for rest or fun with an adorable Minnie Mouse design on the mattress pad.

To create a pretty-in-pink Minnie Mouse nursery, be sure to include this Disney Baby Minnie MouseSitting Pretty 3-Piece Crib Bedding Set!

Minnie Mouse is surrounded with playful hearts and flowers in the Disney Minnie Sitting Pretty 3-Piece Crib Bedding Set. It will make an adorable addition to your child’s nursery. This girl’s crib bedding set value bundle includes an appliqued comforter with a soft, plush fabric border, a fitted crib sheet and a dust ruffle. As an added bonus, the bundle includes a sheet of wall decals. This crib bedding set is made from cotton and polyester fabrics, and the comforter has 100 percent polyester fiber fill.

Nuby Easy Go Suction Bowl and Spoon

Oh Trent, you have shown me that there is definitely something worse than a picky-eater husband…a picky-eater toddler!

Trent’s menu is rather limited and when we try to put something on his plate that he doesn’t like, he definitely can not just leave it alone. He has to move it off or play with it until we take it off completely.

We rarely sit at the dining table to eat. We like sitting in the living room and relaxing with a good tv show or movie. Trent’s plate will go on the table and he’ll run around and play, grabbing bites of food in between. Sure, it’s not what many would consider the best for teaching good eating habits, but it works for us.

I received the Nuby Easy Go Suction Bowl several months ago, when I had this ambition that we would eat at the dining table and Trent in his highchair. I thought it would be perfect for him to try new foods and not be able to knock over or throw the bowl full of food onto the floor. That plan kind of went out the door and this bowl probably would have been more useful when he was younger and actually used the highchair, but I will show you how great it works.

Nûby™ is putting the “FUN” in feeding. The Easy Go™ Suction Bowl and Spoon is perfect for daycare, travel, or any on-the-go occasion. The bowl is conveniently sized just right for dry cereal or other baby foods and features a suctioned base that keeps the bowl firmly in place during feeding. It also features a lid that seals tightly to keep food fresh during storage. The spoon makes a perfect travel companion because it snaps onto the lid of the bowl for easy storage. The Easy Go™ Suction Bowl and Spoon is available in a variety of fun colors so you can mix and match to create your own stylish combinations. And because they are made from break resistant plastics, they are dishwasher/microwave safe and can stand up to the rigors of everyday use.

 

Nuby bowl-1-2

It has a suction cup on the bottom, so you can stick it to any flat, hard surface. It’s not impossible to pull up, but most babies probably can’t do it. With the bowl staying put, babies can learn how to feed themselves and you don’t have to worry about their lack of coordination or over-excitement causing a spill.

Nuby bowl-1 Nuby bowl-2

It’s dishwasher safe, BPA-free, and comes in several colors. It comes with a lid and spoon, so you can use it for traveling and have everything you need connected in one container. So convenient!

Nuby bowl-4

We will definitely try to use it more when baby #2 arrives because I don’t know if we’ll be able to get 2 kids to eat their dinner while running around the living room!

Sweetie Pie Organics Toddler Fruit & Veggie Snacks

You all know how picky Trent is with his food now. There isn’t much he will eat as part of a big meal, so we try to make sure he gets healthy snacks throughout the day in addition to decent sized meals. It really is difficult to come up with different ideas so he isn’t eating the same things all the time, which is why we get excited when we actually take a chance on a new item and he likes it! Bonus points if it is a nutritional and healthy snack for him.

Recently, we gave Sweetie Pie Organics Fruit & Veggie Snacks a try.

Sweetie Pie Organics

Sweetie Pie Organics makes delicious wholesome snacks for toddlers. Our snacks are made from quality organic ingredients. We grow fresh fruits and vegetables on organic US farms, which are then freeze-dried and packed in recyclable packaging. Sweetie pie snacks are USDA organic, Non GMO, there are no sugars, salts or preservatives added; all you get is fruits and veggies.

The moment of conception through the first three years of life is the most critical and fragile time of a child’s development. It’s during this important stage of life that a child’s body, brain, and cognitive functions are growing and developing faster than at any other time in their life.

What you feed your baby these first few years of life can have a great impact on their current and future health. Their delicate systems are very sensitive to everything they come in contact with, such as toxins in the air, toxins in products and, most importantly, toxins in their food. It is crucial for them to get enough nutrition. That is why Sweetie Pie Organics is devoted to providing only the purest and the best quality products.

Sweetie Pie Snacks 1

We tried all 3 flavors of fruit and veggie snacks:

Banana, Sweet Corn & Blueberry

Sweetie Pie Snacks 3

Mango, Sweet Corn, & Apple

Apple, Green Pea & Pineapple

Sweetie Pie Snacks 4

Trent’s favorites were, of course, the fruits. The combo that he seemed to enjoy the most (a.k.a. the one he ate the fastest) was the Mango, Sweet Corn & Apple, with the Banana, Sweet Corn & Blueberry coming in second. I took a few bites of the corn and was pleasantly surprised…it really was sweet, but not in a candy-sweet sort of way. What a great way to sneak in some veggies!

Sweetie Pie Snacks 6

However, he wasn’t a fan of the Sweet Peas, but he has never been a fan of peas…even when we pureed them up and mixed them with his favorite food as a baby, sweet potatoes, so we were kind of expecting that.

Sweetie Pie Snacks 5

Each piece is tiny, so it’s easy for babies/toddler to pick up and feed themselves.

Sweetie Pie Snacks 7

I like how veggies are included in each pouch and it’s not just fruits. Looking through the aisles for snacks for Trent’s results in many items geared towards fruits, so this is a nice solution for veggies too.

Each box comes with 5 individually wrapped pouches of snacks. This makes it easy to throw a few in the diaper bag or purse, in the car or in the stroller for a healthy snack on the go.

Adorable Jamie Rae Hats {Review & Giveaway}

I joke a lot about how much it rains in Florida…starting in the Spring and through Summer, it rains at least every other day. And hurricane season goes all the way to November! But even with the amount of rain we get, we also get the best sunshine-filled, beautiful days throughout the year. I love being outside, even more so with Trent, and we’re looking forward to trips to the beach, WDW and the park even more as the temperature heats up.

But with all those outside activities, we need to make sure we protect our skin from the sun, and that’s why try to make Trent wear a hat anytime we are outside. But not only do I want a hat that protects him, but I want it to be cute too!

Lately, he has been sporting these adorable hats by Jamie Rae Hats!

About Jamie Rae Hats:

Jamie_Rae_Hats__Inc__-_Home_of_the_Original_Flower_Baby_Hats_

Jamie has been making adorable children’s hats for over 9 years! Unhappy with the average prints and awkward fit of most baby hats on the market, she was inspired to design a unique, traditional and most importantly, comfortable cotton cap for her two children. On their website, you will find a vast collection of cute and functional hats for both girls and boys, and also hair clips and headbands.

Jamie Rae Hats is filled with so many cute hats for boys AND girls. Here are a few of my favorites:

Jamie Rae Hats Collage

They have so many options…almost every hat/headband is available in multiple colors and patterns, with different color bows and flowers for each one and available in multiple sizes. The very first thing I thought of when first looking at her website was how useful these hats and headbands would be for any photographer that does newborn and child photography. They can build up a little inventory of accessories to offer during photoshoots. A tiny little newborn baby with a little hat and big flower? So cute!

Trent has three hats…

Jamie Rae Hats 12 Jamie Rae Hats 11 Jamie Rae Hats 10

Our immediate favorite was the Dinosaur hat!

Jamie Rae Hats 4

Jamie Rae Hats 3

Jamie Rae Hats 6

Jamie Rae Hats 5

I really like how these hats have a brim all around. This helps protect the skin on his ears, cheeks and neck, and not just part of his face like a normal baseball cap.

Jamie Rae Hats 2

Each hat also includes chin straps to keep the hat on and prevent it from flying off in the wind or being pulled off by the child.

Jamie Rae Hats 7

But you can also let them dangle if your child doesn’t like the straps and the hat still stays on perfectly.
