Teething Bling review



Teething Bling is the original teething jewelry that allows moms to wear jewelry again.  You can safely allow your baby to grab and chew without the worry of small pieces or unsafe chemicals.  Let their curiosity get the best of them with Teething Bling.
I have not been able to wear jewelry for a long time! I always feel not put together because of this. I love jewelry but unfortunately Max loves to eat it. He also likes to pull on it and hit me with it. So as you can see it is not a good idea for me to wear it. Naturally when a friend was wearing a super cute teething bling necklace I was curious. I noticed her baby chewing on it and playing with it and she was not worried. When I asked her about it and she told me that it was a necklace made for babies to chew on I was really excited! I could wear some jewlery again!! I went home and researched it. All Teething Bling products are made using FDA approved medical-grade, food-safe silicone.  Teething Bling contains no phthalates, BPAs, PVCs, lead or latex.  As an added safety measure, Teething Bling is hung on a cord with a break away clasp.  Plus Silicone is so easy to clean – just a little soap and water is all you need and you’ll never have to worry about fungus, mold, or bacteria. I love knowing that Teething Bling is completely safe for Max to chew on. 
Not only are they great for baby but they are also super cute and come in a ton of different colors! Plus they offer something for everyone  Beaded Line, Signature Pendant, Bangles, Patterned Pendants. Ring Pendants, Shimmer Pendants, Sports Line, Triangle Pendants, Tween Bling

Glow Bug cloth diaper review




Glow Bug Cloth Diapers were generous enough to give us this cute, easy to use, and fashionable cloth diaper for my boys so I could review it! I am so excited to y'all about it! I had never used one before but had heard so many great things about them. So when I got the chance to review one I was so excited.
I have two boys, one is almost three and weighs almost thirty pounds, and the other is almost one and weight twenty pounds!  Dexter is super tall and skinny and Max is really short and chunky so it is hard for me to find a diaper that fits both. Especially since Dexter only needs diapers at night so I have to find diapers that allow for extra stuffing! 

I was really pleased when I tried this diaper. It fit perfectly on both boys. I didn't leak on either one. Dexter wore it over night then we washed it and Max wore it during the day. When I say it like that it kinda sounds gross, but it was clean I swear! Once again no leaking! One thing I really love about these diapers are the gussets. I have some other diapers with gussets and they are really hard to clean out. I have to basically stretch the diaper all the way just to spray it out. These were easy to clean! I also love how soft they are.

Glow Bug Cloth Diapers Features:
 Outside of the cloth diaper:
Double rows of snaps with square tabs for a trim fit through the hip
  Two sets of cross-over snaps through the waist band for a perfect fit around newborn tummies.
Four size settings fitting babies from birth through potty training (7lbs-35lbs)
Coordinating colored snaps for every print.
Double gusset through the leg for an extra barrier of protection.

Inside of the cloth diaper:
Wing snaps on top row to prevent drooping
The Revolutionary 360° Gusset - 360 degrees of protection!
NEW SlimDry™ fabric keeps baby’s skin dry without the bulk
Improved waterproof flaps in the front and the back to prevent leaks
Two openings in the pocket makes it easier to get the absorbent inset in and out.



Glow Bug Cloth Diapers offers several different cloth diaper packages: 12 Boy Print One Size Pocket Cloth Diapers for $150.00, 12 Girl Print One Size Pocket Cloth Diapers for $150.00, and 6 Pack One Size Pocket Cloth Diapers (White Booster) for $70.00.
They also offer Rockin Green soap so you can get everything all at once.



Glow Bug Cloth Diapers is generously offering one of my readers a One Size Pocket Cloth Diaper! Look for this giveaway with our Max's birthday bash beginning soon!

I compare my children.

There I said it. I do, I compare my kids to each other, to other kids, to animals, pretty much to everything.
I feel so guilty about it all the time to. When you become a parent you often get told "Don't compare your child to anyone else, they are all different . But its hard. You go to a play group and there are kids who are doing things totally different then yours and you have to wonder, is my kid normal??
I have always been one to compare children really though. Since Dexter has always been above average on the whole talking thing and started walking early I always would look at other kids and wonder why they weren't doing that. Even now that he is almost three when we go out and another kid is his age but isn't talking it really confuses me. Dexter never stops talking. From the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to sleep talking. He can also do a lot for himself, pour a drink, put his dishes in the sink, put his dishes in his cupboard after they are cleaned.  He can dress himself, he is a very independent child, so when other children aren't that way its strange to me. On the other hand when another kid his age is way more physical and is climbing up on things with no hesitation or swining on a regular swing it scares me! Dexter has never been a super physical kid. He can run and has no fear but when it comes to climbing that is just not his thing.
But I never thought I would compare my own kids. This all really surfaced at Max's 8 month check up, he had fallen to the 25th % in height and weight and wasn't doing everything on their check list. It made me think, wasn't Dexter doing everything, wasn't he doing everything on the 12 month check list at 8 months? Wasn't he in the 90th%? Wasn't he already talking? I never thought I would feel bad because Max is so behind Dexter. But I do. And it has to make me wonder, am I not spending enough time with him? Do I not try as hard? Do I not read him as many books? Do I not talk to him enough? Have I become a bad mom? Most days I feel inadequate as a mom of two kids, one kid is always crying and Dexter is in this play with me all day phase so Max does get put on the back burner as long as I am holding him I feel like he is participating but is he really learning anything? I try to spend as much alone time with Max as I did with Dexter, but lets be honest its impossible  I have another kid!
I remind myself constantly they are different kids, but I cant help myself but compare them!
Do you compare your kids? Or am I the only crappy parent? haha

Wantable make up or Jewelry subscription box




Wantable.com is a very fun and exciting monthly subscription box, Wantable gives you the option of subscribing at $36/month or just buying the single box at $40. This is great if you are just wanting to try it out before committing  But when you do subscribe, months can be skipped or cancelled at any time, no strings attached! How great is that! I know our budget isn't always perfect and some months I would need to skip but the next month I would love to pick up where I was! Without any penalty.

They have an easy and fast style quiz that you take prior to ordering your box that helps them determine which products would fit you best. I already took the quiz, and I loved that they had pictures of each item, and then went into further detail. I opted for the jewelry box. When I took the quiz I loved all the pictures. A question would ask if I liked earrings, when I said yes it would show me several different earrings and I would rate them Love, Like, or dislike. That was great, then after I picked a few that I liked it broke it down even further for example it had colors, sizes, and material. I am so confident that this box is going to be perfect for me! 
Also each box is guaranteed to contain at least $80 worth of product. So even though I can't so for sure how great this subscription is I have a good feeling I will love it!
