5 Favorite {Affordable} Baby Products

It seems like everyone I know is pregnant. Okay, maybe that is an overstatement...but seriously - my sister, my sister-in-law (brother's wife), my husband's step-sister and multiple friends. So, in the spirit of 'babies babies babies", I am going to share some of my favorite baby items! They are must haves in my book!



1. Nursing Cover from Udder Covers. I have used a few other nursing covers but these are by far my favorite. I do not always cover, and certainly do not believe that women have to cover (and sometimes baby just will not cooperate!)...but there are times when I am personally more comfortable covering - and I turn to the udder cover. If you hop over to their site and use the promo code "FREE", all you have to pay is $12 for shipping.

(excuse the wrinkled-ness - oops!)


2. Woven Wrap from Li'l Peeper Keepers. I love baby-wearing, and these wraps are absolutely wonderful. I also love supporting other mamas! There are so many ways to wear a woven wrap (and tons of youtube tutorials!). Woven wraps are the most versatile, as they can be worn from infancy through toddlerhood. It will make your life so much easier - especially in those early months or when you need your hands free! Li'l Peeper Keepers wraps are also very affordable, especially in comparison to other popular wraps on the market. This mama carries ring slings and some other products as well - check her out!

 


3. Coconut Oil by Health From the Sun. This is absolutely my FAVORITE product ever. We use coconut oil for everything in our house. But it is wonderfully useful for babies > Diaper rash. Sore nipples. Baby acne. Cradle cap. Eczema. Dry skin. You can use this for all skin problems, rashes, etc. It is all natural, organic, safe...and it lasts forever!

(can you tell it gets a lot of use?!?)


4. Cloth Diapers from Kawaii Baby Diapers. Yes. I am one of those crazy cloth diapering mamas. I am mildly obsessed - but for good reason! They are economical & just darn cute. Kawaii all in one (AIO) pocket diapers come with 2 inserts. I also use cloth wipes (flannel) with a spray bottle (warm water and guess what - coconut oil!). I make my own laundry detergent and we try to hang on the line whenever possible. Order a few and give them a try. My husband and I calculated that within three months, we had recovered our cost and were saving money on diapers! Kawaii is based out of Canada, has quality products and a pretty fast turn around (in comparison to their Asian counterparts). If you spend over $80, shipping is free!

  


5. Hyland's Teething Tablets. These are simply a life saver during the months (& months!) of teething. I have early teethers (my son got his first tooth at 3 months)...and once they start they seem to never stop. Hyland's Teething Tablets are great. They are homeopathic and completely safe for baby - no scary ingredients (like other teething products). You can pick them up at your local pharmacy or supermaket.



*These are my opinions on these products. I did not receive anything in return for my reviews.

The Day I Failed At Motherhood

It was a Monday morning. The weekend had been filled with busyness, it felt as though we had not even had one moment to catch our breath and the week was upon us once again. I awoke to a house that was disheveled by the hustle and bustle of running in and out from one engagement to the next. Okay , I thought, I am going to whip this house into shape ! I am one of those people who simply cannot relax or enjoy my day if my house is in disarray (thanks, Mom!). I fed the kiddos breakfast and immediately got to work. I enlisted the help of the children. I was working on the dishes and kitchen clean-up and I asked my almost four year old and my five year old to pick up all the toys in the living room and vacuum. My five year old daughter LOVES to vacuum - and it works as a great incentive to get things picked up off the floor. After a few minutes I heard her turn the vacuum on, and I continued on my busy way finishing up the kitchen. A short while later, after the hum of the vacuum

God Changed My Mind About Modesty

I was recently sitting in a mall food court with my fifteen month old daughter, as my husband waited in line for the carousel with our older two. As the ride came to a stop, there was a group of young girls riding on horses directly in front of me. I noticed that the one little girl (who was maybe 8 or 9) was wearing very short shorts - as in you could not even tell she was wearing anything when she was sitting on the horse. To make matters worse, when she raised herself up off the horse, her entire bottom was exposed! I cringed and felt sick to my stomach as I peered around at the hundreds of people in the busy mall food court who may have just witnessed it as well. The little girl adjusted her shorts and went on her way, but I couldn't shake the sick feeling I had - the thought that someone in the mall could have enjoyed seeing that little girl like that... I know that "wardrobe malfunctions" may happen sometimes. Even when dressed modestly, the wind can blow up a

The Beauty of Boyhood

I have this boy - this wild, almost four year old, sword wielding, dirt digging, hose spraying, LOUD, train track building, matchbox car hoarding, ball throwing, tape measuring, block organizing, tender-hearted boy . He has changed my life. He has changed almost everything about my parenting. Mostly in a very good way. He taught me that I did not have it all figured out...suddenly I became the mom I never thought I would be. He humbled me. But I have also found myself more exasperated and frustrated than I ever was before as well. I have said things I *swore* I would never say like "If you don't come here right now you are going to bed for the rest of the day!"...at 11:00 a.m....yeah, not my proudest moment or smartest threat ;) I know better. I know the right things to say and the right way to handle defiance...but this boy - well, all my logic flies out the window. I have lost my temper more times than I would like to admit. In fact, I have prob
