Teething Bling Review

Amy from Smart Mom Jewelry sent me a Teething Bling necklace to review.

This is one of the Signature Pendants {ARV$19.99} but there are several styles and even men’s products to choose from.

My 19 month old is teething like crazy so this was great to have around as something safe for her to chew on.

From the Sponsor:

“Our Teething Bling products are made from a food-safe, phthalate-free, federally-approved silicone.
Safety-reminder: these pendants are intended for adults to wear. Please do not place the pendants ON your child.
Our products were designed for adults to wear to soothe and entertain babies with emerging teeth. Children with fully developed teeth may be able to bite through Teething Bling . Therefore, parents must determine what is best for their own situation and child and as always, we remind everyone that children – of any age – should never be left unattended with jewelry of any kind.”

I also love how stylish it looked while I wore it around my neck as we were out and about.

The quality of this necklace was great! We did not have any issues with pieces breaking or falling apart.

Overall, we really love our Teething Bling Pendant Necklace and think you will too!

eeBoo Preschool Nature Memory Game Review

Jackie from Oompa Toys sent me the eeBoo Preschool Nature Memory Game {$11.69}eeboo Collage 3

 

We love how study the cardboard pieces are. I can let my 18 month old play with them without worrying about her ruining them in 3.2 seconds. They are made from 90% recycled cardboard and the ink is soy-based too, so if she does get them into her mouth it’s not a big deal.oompa Collage 1

 

My 3 year old is still grasping the concept of only turning one card over at a time to find the matches. She likes to turn them all over and match them that way. I think that is part of the learning process though, so she will eventually learn.eeboo Collage 2

 

The pieces are made with rigid edges to make them easier to pick up, which is a big help to us as we usually play our our hardwood floors. We really love the pictures of the different animals and objects found in nature and I think eeBoo did a great job creating them.

If you have a preschooler than I think they would love this memory game.

You can purchase it from Oompa.com and it is on sale too!

Piczzle Photo Puzzle Review

Piczzle sent me a one of their Cardboard Piczzle Photo Puzzles to review.

pizzle Collage 2

My 3 year old is a puzzle nerd so I knew she was going to love the idea of turning a picture into a puzzle.piczzle cardboard Collage

I chose a recent family picture and easily uploaded it to my Piczzle account. I was able to add wording too. The whole process was very simple. The puzzle fit together perfectly and the pieces are pretty sturdy, even for being cardboard. I can see this lasting us for a very long time.

Cherry Blossom Babies Cloth Diaper Review

Kelly from Cherry Blossom Babies sent me 2 All-In-Two Diapers to review.

cbb Collage

The one-size AI2 fit babies from 10-35 lbs

cb Collage 2

The XL Toddler AI2 is made to fit babies from 15-50 lbs

cherry blossom Collage 3

Both diapers are made with a snap-down rise that you can use, or not use, depending on the size of your child.

DSCF5764 DSCF5765

Another great feature is the snap covers, which keep the unused snaps from digging into your child’s skin.

DSCF3378

The one size diaper fit great on my now 20lb 18-month old. We have had this diaper for a couple of months so at first (as pictured below) we needed to fold the rise down. Now that she is a little bigger she can wear it without the rise folded down.

The fit around the legs is great. Nice and snug but not too tight. We used this diaper, as is, for daytime and added a small hemp doubler for night time use. My daughter loves Elmo, so this is often the first diaper grabbed when it is clean. It is one of our more ‘fluffier’ diapers, but she loves to wear it around the house without pants so that works perfectly for us.

cb Collage

The XL Toddler diaper worked great for my 27lb 3.5 year old. She only wears diapers or trainers at night and this is her favorite one. Because she is very petite for her age we do fold down the rise for the best fit. I can see this diaper fitting babies up to 50 lbs for sure. Again, this is one of our ‘fluffier’ diapers, but since she only wears it to bed, it works great for us.
cherry blossom Collage 4I love the attention to detail with Cherry Blossom Babies diapers, like turning the fabric half way through to make sure Elmo is right side up on both the front and back:DSCF3402Also, using a matching snap color on the soaker so it can be easily matched with the right diaper:DSCF5766Overall, we are very pleased with our Cherry Blossom Babies diapers and welcome them as regular members to out stash!

Kelly makes mostly custom orders so please check out her website or facebook page to contact her for your own custom diaper.

Little Monsters Cloth Diaper Review

Little Monsters sent me one of their one size embroidered pocket diapers to review.

DSCF4244DSCF4247These diapers are made to fit most babies from 9-35 lbs which is why there are a number of snaps on both the front and waist of the diaper. You can adjust both the rise and waist size accordingly.

The picture above is the diaper at its largest setting and below you can see just how small it gets when snapped to its smallest setting. I could barely fit 2 fingers in the leg holes so you know it will fit the tiniest of baby legs.

DSCF4252DSCF4253

This diaper is pretty trim with the single microfiber insert that is included.

DSCF4245 DSCF4248 DSCF4250You can stuff the microfiber insert (as well as more absorbancy if needed) into the pocket (shown below) to absorb and the fleece on the inside of the diaper creates a stay-dry feeling on baby’s skin.

DSCF4251I tested this diaper out on my 20 lb 18-month old.

DSCF5490We were able to get a good snug fit but did need to add extra inserts to make this a leak-proof diaper for us. This is usually the case with a single microfiber insert for us.

DSCF5475DSCF5495There are so many fun diapers at Little Monsters so head over to check them out!
