TUSH BABY

Do you have a Velcro baby or a toddler that gets tired easily on outings and wants to be carried? My answer to your solution is the Tushbaby hip carrier. I will admit that I got one at my first baby shower and thought it was a strange gift that I would never use. But once I busted it out, I realized it’s a back saver and now it goes everywhere with us! 

Not only does it help carry the kids, it has all the pockets too. You can fill them with your cell phone, diapers, wipes, bottle or water bottle. There is even a place to put your keys or pacifier for easy access. This thing is amazing!!

If you don’t need it yourself, it’s perfect for baby shower or Christmas gifts. I honestly cannot say enough good things about mine.

PARENTING STICKER

This is the reason I will never be allowed to be a parent.

I am pretty sure I have the sense of humor of a 15 year old boy.

But really, this funny bumper sticker is an alternative to the Baby on board sticker that is reflective, captures attention, glossy, and will help you spread the word to other drivers around you that you need to be a little safer because there is a little one in your car.

STORKS / BABY SHOWER

I was able to see a screening of the movie Storks. Storks is a Warner Bros. Pictures presentation that is going to be released in 2D and 3D in select theaters on 9/23/16.

Storks deliver babies…or at least they used to. They have moved on to delivering other goods, but the Baby Making Machine accidentally gets turned on and one last delivery needs to be made. The animated adventure features voices from well-known talent like Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer, Key & Peele, Danny Trejo, and Katie Crown. It is hilarious and you NEED to see it. Find out more about the movie on it's Facebook page. #Storks is Rated PG and will have the whole family laughing.

In spirit of this film hitting theaters this month, and my best friend being super pregnant, we have a baby shower planned. I discovered a cool baby shower kit that makes planning so easy.

 It is a cute box that comes with almost everything you need for hosting a shower like

thank you cards, 

 games, mommy advice card keepsakes/favors, place cards for seating,

and cute, easy to assemble decorations.

All you have to add is some food, a pregnant lady, and friends and family...and then wait for the stork to deliver the cute bundle of joy.

BABY SHOWER ITEMS

Remember how I recently posted that more babies are born in the month of August than any other month? It's still true. So that means lady readers might be invited to some baby showers in the coming months. What do you buy as a present? Here are some ideas:

#1 Baby Gift Set - Plush Chihuahua

So you were invited to a party and you don't have time to shop and wrap a gift (or you just need a totally cute, hassle-free present full of baby shower items). Well, this is your solution. This baby set includes a plush and snuggle webkinz dog, yellow terrycloth baby bib (with "Mommy's little Angel" embroidered on it), and a yellow and white 30"x30" plush baby blanket and it comes with a green gift bag (with a picture of an expecting mother wearing a pink dress on the bag and matching attached card) and yellow tissue paper. #babyshoweritems

#2 Mamaway Baby Sling

The Mamaway ring sling is an all-around baby carrier that is perfect for your newborn babe. It is made of 100% cotton fabric that provides full support once tightened. You can position your baby whichever way is most comfortable or convenient: upright or lying down, in front, on your hip or behind your back so you can have hands-free cuddles or be able to do things while keeping your baby close. This can also be used to cover baby for feeding so mama and baby can bond with some privacy. It weighs 14.4 oz and is machine washable so it is super easy to care for this product. It is also easy to store in it's own little attached pocket. You will be so happy with this purchase.

#3 Berlando Baby Blanket

This blanket is perfect for baby boy. It comes in a blue, grey, and white chevron print on one side and plain white on the other. It is 32x26 inches and is made of 100% microfiber polyester. Every baby needs a good pinky blanket to use in the stroller, to swaddle, cuddle, use when travel, or just carry everywhere. This is super high quality, soft, and snuggly. (I secretly want one in my size). It is also machine washable!! #berlando

#4 Baby Car Seat Cover & Bandana Drool Bib Gift Set

This car seat cover is super stylish. It is stretchy and fits most carseat and even be used as a nursing, shopping cart,and high chair covers. You can protect baby from the weather or just have a little privacy. It comes with a drawstring carrying bag and a bonus set of bandana style drool bibs. The bibs are made of 100% soft cotton and are adjustable (with snaps) to fit a neck circumstance from 35 cm to 40 cm. It comes in super cute packaging that is ready to be given as a gift. 

#5 Pack N Play Placard Sheets

This crib sheet set from Ziggy Baby is made from 100% jersey knit and so soft and cuddly. Since they are jersey knit, they are lightweight and breathable as well. The sheets fit a standard play-yard mat or mattress up to 4 inches. They have deep 5" pockets for a secure fit (the official measurements are 24 x 38 x 5 inches). You get two sheets with your purchase so you have a back up when one is dirty. If one does get dirty (baby accidents do happen), they are machine washable so clean up is simple. They are gender neutral in grey and white and come in cute polka dot and chevron designs. In my opinion, they are simple yet stylish. The Ziggy Baby company offers a fabulous satisfaction guarantee if you aren't satisfied with your purchase (but I am sure you will be) and I love a company that gives great customer support. #ziggybaby

#6 The BEST Baby Sling Carrier

This baby sling carrier can be worn on both the front and back (as baby gets bigger - up to 35 lbs). It has a cute floral embroidered pattern on the front that is stylish and unisex pattern. It has padded straps similar to a backpack that makes it comfortable to wear. It is made of cotton so it is machine washable and cozy for baby to sit in it. It is extremely stable when baby is inside when it is tied around. Baby-wearing is super important for bonding with baby and parent.

If you have a wiggly sleeper, then this pouch from #RevelaeKids is for you! This is like a cuddly (100% soft polyester) baby blanket made into a pouch. It has a elastic to stay on baby with plenty of room for baby to still move their legs. The purpose of this pouch is to make sure baby stays warm and comfortable during their naps. It is super cozy and fabulous. I wish I could order one in my size! It comes in a few sizes and colors. 

#8 Baby Car Mirror & Safety Bundle

This bundle is perfect. It comes in a nice box with:

1. Yes baby car mirror - made with shatter proof glass, a secure strap system to hold it in place, convex mirror, and pivot joint that let's you angle it so you can have a perfect view of baby in the back seat.

2. Cute pink baby fork and spoon set. They are made of silicone and have a unique color changing technology that changes with the food's temperature.

3. Reflective "Baby on Board" sign that sticks with a suction cup to the car window.

POOP HAPPENS

My best friend has paws.

My dog Day-Z and I go on adventures together all of the time.

Walking with dogs means you have to pick up poop. It's a fact. I have a history of having doggy poop bag bundles unroll as I try to grab one from my bag or middle console in my car. It makes a mess and then a bigger mess when I try to roll it back up and then I get frustrated.

Now I have a new Petoyo® EarthFriendly dog waste bag with dispenser. It is like a whole new world with no more bag roll mishaps. The dispenser is easy to open and refill. I would think most bags would fit in the dispenser, but these bags are great. They have a light scent that isn't too overpowering, but might distract you from the stink you are picking up for your pooch. 

The bags measure 9x14 inches each. They aren't the thickest bags I have used before (eco-friendly), but they are leak proof so you don't have to worry about getting a mess on your hands. 

The dispenser comes with a tiny carabiner that I like to attach to my leash. My niece likes to attach it to the belt loop on her pants.  It is great for travel or to take on simple walks with your dog. 

Make your life easier and get a waste bag dispenser if you don't already own one!
