Baby Relax Addison Swivel Gliding Recliner

Image
The Baby Relax Addison Swivel Gliding Recliner can be found at Target and they actually have this recliner in their baby section in our area. That's a big part of why I chose this recliner because I could sit it in before I bought it. I have this rocker in my oldest daughter's room. We have two of a lot of baby products because our daughters are only 2 years apart. Rockers are no exception. Out of our two rocking chairs, this one is my favorite. The fabric is very soft and very comfortable. I have slept in that chair several times. (When our baby was congested or just didn't want to be put down.) Having a rocking chair that reclines in your nursery is great. It gives you the option to lay back and sleep if you need to. Because I exclusively pumped for 10 months, I used this chair as my pumping station day and night until my daughter moved into her nursery from our room. It is a very comfortable chair. We have the chair in beige. I love the color, it is very soft and sweet. ...

B. Play Ride On Bouncer

Image
B. Toys is one of my favorite toy brands. They are sold at Target and they are always lots of fun. We have several of the B. Toys brand toys and have enjoyed almost all of them. This toy specifically is the ride on Bouncer. We have the bumble bee because my cousin suggested picking one with something for the kids to hold onto while they are bouncing. The bee has antennas, so it works perfectly. We bought the bee for my older daughter for Christmas when she was about 15 months old. She immediately fell in love with the bouncing bee. Both of my girls love this toy. My three year old still enjoys bouncing on it. My one year old started playing on it (with help) at about 7 to 8 months old. She started getting on and bouncing by herself at about 11 months old. At under $20, this toy is definitely worth the price. When my nephews come over this a toy that all four kids want to play on.  100% recommend

Wonderfold Wagon

Image
  I have to start this post by saying that I didn't actually purchase the Wonderfold Wagon, it was a Christmas gift from my in-laws.  That being said, this is probably one of the most used Christmas gifts I have ever received.  I know that the Wonderfold Wagon is pricey.  I have the W4 which has 4 seats and will run you about $600.  I also have the extended handle which is about $50.  For my family, the extended handle is a necessity because my husband is 6' 8".  I know other people who do not have the extended handle and have had no issue.   In the W4 version of this wagon, it has two sets of two seats that clip on to the sides of the wagon.  It also has a shade that can be very simply removed.  There are pockets in the front of the wagon and on each side.  The front of this wagon also unzips so that your kids can get in and out by themselves.  (I have never used this feature because I don't want my kids getting in and ou...

Pump It Up Birthday Party

Image
We had my daughter's 3rd birthday party at Pump It Up in Arlington, TX. I would definitely recommend doing birthday parties here. It was very reasonably priced. We originally booked the Classic 10, which is an 1 hour of jump time and 45 minutes of party room time for up to 10 kids between the age of 2 and 17. They only count kids between age 2 and 17 but everyone can participate. This package was priced at $259. They also provide plates, cups, napkins, and in our case candles because I forgot them. They also give you two party hosts who pass out drinks, cut the cake, pass out cake, load up the presents onto a cart to make it easy to take it your car.   When you first come in, they have carts to put everything you brought for your party on and for your guests to place their gifts. The gifts stay with you. About 5 minutes before your jump time, you watch a safety video. They have a rolling shoe cart in the jump area. You put your shoes in the cart and they go with you when you c...

Willow Breast Pump

 This a product that I wanted to love. I definitely can't say I'm head over heels for this breast pump.  Let's start with what I do like. I do like the convenience of the Willow pump. I chose to get this pump through my insurance for my second child because I exclusively pumped for my first child. I told my husband if I was going to have to exclusively pump with our second child I needed a breast pump I needed to be able to move around. This pump definitely allows you to get things done while you pump. Not being attached to a wall is a very exciting feature.  I didn't have to exclusively pump with baby #2 but I did pump occasionally to build a freezer stash for my baby. I was able to pump and eat breakfast with my oldest daughter. This was fantastic. I also really liked that the app told me how much milk I was pumping. Since you can't see how much you are pumping while you are using this pump, this is a helpful feature. This feature was very accurate when I first st...

Spectra 2 Breast Pump

 With my first child, I exclusively pumped from day 1 because she wouldn't latch. I began pumping in the hospital using the hospitals pump. When I got home, I started using my Spectra 2. I paid $30 with insurance through Aeroflow. My Spectra 2 came with a bag to carry around the pump and the accessories. I highly recommend getting your insurance covered pump through Aeroflow. They sent me new pump parts every month for the first 6 months. Using this pump, I immediately started getting more than I was in the hospital. (Partially because of milk coming in but it was also much easier to use.) This pump was easier to use than the hospital grade pump. I exclusively pumped with this pump for 10 months and it still worked great every time. This pump does have to plug into an outlet each time you use it. I also got an outlet converter so that I could pump in the car. There are a lot of parts to clean for this pump.  I was able to pump more than 6 ounces per side starting at about 2 we...

Cosco Simple Fold High Chair

Image
 This is a mom MUST-HAVE! I 100% recommend this product. I own 2 of them. My mom and mother-in-law both keep one at their homes.  This foldable high chair is so easy to use and to transport. My oldest daughter was born in late 2019 so when she got ready to sit in a high chair it was in the early COVID days. There was no way my baby was going to be touching things, eating off of things, and putting things in her mouth that I didn't have control over the cleaning.  So we bought this portable highchair and we have taken them pretty much everywhere since. There are several things I love about this portable highchair. One thing I love is that it is so lightweight. I also love that it has a tray, it makes it much easier to feed my babies and I don't have to worry about them trying to eat something that was on a table. The tray is easily removable and it can be cleaned very easily.  The whole chair folds up very simply. This is a simple product, but it is definitely worth t...
