I've been missin

Life got crazy. Busy with a baby....trying to enjoy the beautiful weather and all our little city had to offer....relocating to St. Louis. I've missed this blog but I had too many other things going on. Not anymore. We are somewhat settled in our new town. Instead of staying home full time I am now working part time. While working I tend to have a bit of extra time on the computer, so hopefully I can keep the blog nice and active! Anyway....I'm happy to be back!

The Silver Liner- Review and Giveaway

I was recently given the opportunity to test a new Minky Top Mama Cloth from The Silver Liner. I am still pretty new to Mama Cloth, so pardon my inexperience. Compared to the other mama cloth I have tried, I found these to be more comfortable. I liked that I had no problem figuring out which way they go. Others I have tried were a little confusing and I wasn't sure which side should be against my skin. I know this seems silly, but for a newbie it can be a little tricky! They were more absorbent than I expected. I normally use Sea Pearls and really just wanted some Mama Cloth as backup. For testing purposes I used only pads for my whole cycle. At the end of the cycle I was truly impressed with these pads. These are made by a work at home mama. You can find her work under The Silver Liner on Amazing Baby Creations Hyena Cart. Her prices are very reasonable and her work is A+. These Pads looked great and have held up really well even after several washes. I highly recommend giving The Silver Liner a chance if you are thinking of trying Mama Cloth or already use it and need a bit more.
Giveaway: Carrie at The Silver Liner was kind enough to provide product for a giveaway! I will be giving away 1 8 inch Liner  and 1 10 inch Light Pad to one lucky reader!

Jackson Reece Review *Kinder By Nature*

A few weeks ago I recieved a package from Jackson Reece for review. It contained both their regular wipes and their flushable wipes. I'm going to cheat a little bit and pull the highlights strait from their website....just because they say it so well!

Jackson Reece Wipes are:

•Certified Organic Aloe Vera naturally hydrating, healing & cooling.
•Certified Organic Tea Tree Oil, naturally antibacterial.
•Certified Organic Lavender Essential Oil, soothing and calming.
•Bio-degradable wipes made from wood pulp which is a sustainable resource.
•Compostable wipes which will degrade in twelve weeks in aerobic conditions and are registered by DIN CERTCO in Europe as compostable.
•Cloth is made from nature and will degrade by nature
•Our cloth is not chlorine bleached
•Contains High Purity Water
•Degradable packaging that will degrade in a landfill site more quickly than regular baby wipe packaging.
•Formula uses renewable natural plant resources derived from a unique vegetable based preservative system which is suitable for vegans.
•Wipes are suitable for sensitive skins.
•Wipes are really moist.
•Are manufactured in the UK thereby reducing our carbon footprint.
•Formula is not tested on animals.
•Formula has a balanced ph.
•Dermatologically and hypoallergenic approved.
•We have disclosed the function and use of each ingredient on our packets so that parents can easily understand our formula. This is our open and honest approach to better care for babies & the environment.
•A refreshing scent.
•Do not leave hands sticky.

Best of all Jackson Reece Wipes DO NOT CONTAIN any of the following:
•Alcohol
•Parabens
•SodiumLauryl Sulfate (SLS)
•Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
•Lanolin
•Phthalates
•(MIT) Methylisothiazolinone
•Triclosan
•Propylene glycol
•Petro Chemicals
•Benzoates
•Phenoxyethanol

I really love everything about these wipes! They smell amazing, they are so gentile on my little guys skin, and they are compostable and biodegradable....even the package they come in! The wipes themself are really soft, especially the flushable wipes! The flushable wipes were great since we are doing a little potty learning with the little man. I was amazed to find out that the flushable wipes completely break down in JUST 3 Days in water! The regular wipes can be composted and break down in about 12 weeks.

Buy it: Jackson Reece wipes are now available in the US from Diapers.com

Inspired by Finn Review

I've always been curious about Baltic Amber Teething necklaces. I used to use Highlands teething tablets for my son and was DEVISTATED when they were recalled! When I got the oppertunity to review a Baltic Amber Teething Necklace from Inspired by Finn I was really excited!
It was hard for me to choose which necklace to order because there are so many cute colors and patterns. In the end I decided on the 4 Different round.
I've wondered if Baltic Amber was all it's cracked up to be. I'm open to try just about anything, and since I could no longer use my beloved Highlands, I needed something to ease my sons suffering!
My son has been working on his molars for months. It started back in December, they finally came in 2 or 3 weeks ago. I noticed a difference in how fussy he was within the first day. At night, to avoid a choaking hazard I would take it off his neck and double wrap it around his ankle. When it was wrapped around his ankle I would either have him in footie jammies or put a sock on over the necklace so it couldn't slip off.

I can't say for sure that Baltic Amber helps. Here is what I can say.......My son was crazy fussy due to teething pain before the Baltic Amber. He would wake up screaming in pain at night. Within the first few days my son acted like his teeth hardly bothered him. He would have occasoinal pain and fussiness, but it was few and far between. I believe that Baltic Amber has helped my baby.  A few weeks ago my son had 6 teeth break through within a week. He acted like it didn't bother him one bit. Those were the last 6 teeth he should get for a while. I'll be leaving his Baltic Amber Necklace on anyway!
