Real Review Summer Infant PrivacyPlus Monitor

Real Review Summer Infant PrivacyPlus Monitor

After previously being Summer Infant video monitor owners, (we had the Slim&Secure Model as well), I was excited to upgrade to a newer version when our dog knocked over the receiver of the Slim&Secure we had and it smashed. When looking for a replacement, we decided on the Summer Infant Privacy Plus Series Touch Plus [...]

First Learning Construction Train

First Learning Construction Train

For Christmas, C’s grandma and grandpa bought her the First Learning My First Construction Train Set. She is currently on a train kick, and so she was thrilled to have a train with working wheels that she could roll around the room. I was happy to see the colorful building blocks the train is comprised [...]

Baby Trend Monkey Play Yard

Baby Trend Monkey Play Yard

We got the Baby Trend Monkey Around Play Yard as a gift at my baby shower. I used it for my daughter from the time she was born until she was about 21 months old. This play yard has a bassinet insert for your newborn, a flip away changing table, a wind-up mobile and a storage [...]

Melissa & Doug Food Play Sets

Melissa & Doug Food Play Sets

For Christmas after my son turned two, his grandparents bought him a play kitchen. He already had a set of pots and pans and a set of felt food from Ikea, but now he had a kitchen to cook it all in! I went online to look for different options when it came to play [...]

Evenflo Johnny Jump Up

Evenflo Johnny Jump Up

When I was a little kid, my parents had a Johnny Jump Up for my little brother and I distinctly remember thinking, “Man! That looks like fun!” But I was too big for it and sulked in the hallway as I watched my little brother, and then my little sister, giggle away while bouncing up [...]

American Girl Atlanta Store

American Girl Atlanta Store

On Sunday I planned a trip to the American Girl Store Bistro for my daughter Sidney’s 5th birthday. I’m a party planner and I usually plan a big party for her, but this year I wanted to be low-key with planning a party. So we invited her older sisters, their little sister & her god-sister; we had a [...]

Summer Infant Slim & Secure Monitor

Summer Infant Slim & Secure Monitor

I knew from the beginning, after finding out that we were expecting our first child, that I really wanted to purchase a video monitor. After going back and forth debating between the movement monitor and the video monitor, I decided the video would be a better long-term purchase for us. I figured we would use [...]

Sweet Slumber Sound Machine

Sweet Slumber Sound Machine

At my baby shower I received the Cloud B Gentle Giraffe Soother. We used it for a while after Annabelle was born for white noise, but it operated on batteries alone and it timed out after a maximum of 45 minutes. It was like clockwork— the giraffe noise would time out, and within a minute [...]

B. Times Square Activity Cube

B. Times Square Activity Cube

When I first received the B. Times Square activity cube, I was excited because I’m always drawn to the cute and colorful toys that B. makes. However, this particular toy is just not functional, in my opinion. It boasts “six sides of fun” including a bead maze, clock, shape sorting, a piano and a phone. [...]

Timbuk2 Swig Backpack

Timbuk2 Swig Backpack

When I was pregnant I really didn’t know what I wanted in a diaper bag. I didn’t care for designer brands or brightly-colored patterns. All I knew was that I wanted a bag that didn’t scream DIAPER BAG. I ran across the brand name Diaper Dude and I really liked their concepts. We registered for [...]
