LulaBloc Review

Booster Seat Buckle Holder

Now your child can buckle themselves with ease. No more floppy buckles. no more digging.

The LulaBloc is one of the most useful booster seat travel accessories you can find! They fit over the rear seat buckles with ease and keep the buckle right next to the booster seat where it belongs. Don;t dig between the seats or undereath the booster anymore! Get the LulBloc and get moving!

We are in love with LulaBloc! This makes a caregivers job so much easier! We love that children can now buckle themselves with ease!

You will notice in the picture above that the LulaBloc simply slips over the buckle providing easy access and stability to the buckle. We liked the ease of installation and ease of use! This is the best product ever!

Veggie-Go’s

Posted by 278Wife on March 3, 2015
in All Natural Products, Children's Health, Food and Treats, Gluten Free, Health, Kids Stuff, Non-GMO, Organic, Reviews, Uncategorized

My kids eat very few vegetables. I either have to add a lot of cheese to mask the taste, or puree vegetables and sneak them into casseroles. Even then, my kids notice them. I have yet to find a way for them to eat vegetables willingly. That is until they tried Veggie-Go’s.

Veggie-Go’s are the original fruit AND veggie strip. These amazing strips provide half a serving of fruit and half a serving of vegetables. They are also GMO free, organic, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, vegan, and have no added sugar. The best part of all, they taste delicious! My kids had no idea they were eating vegetables or fruit, just a tasty snack. They even asked for more!

Veggie-Go’s come in some really unique varieties including Mountain Berry Spinach, Carrot Ginger, Cinnamon Spiced Beet, TropiKale, and Sweet Potato Pie. My son said his favorite one was the Mountain Berry Spinach. There is no way he would eat another one if I told him it was made with spinach and sweet potatoes! Veggie-Go’s are individually wrapped so they are great for on the go. They are available at your local Whole Foods as well as online at

www.nakededgesnacks.com

I highly recommend them, and definitely plan on buying more of them.

Silly McGilly

in Books, Fun Stuff, Kids Stuff, Kids Toys, Reviews, Uncategorized

Are you Irish? I’m a little bit of Irish, but our family is always Irish during St. Patrick’s Day! We like to celebrate the holiday by hanging up shamrocks, sticking leprechaun window clings on the bedroom windows, and eating corned beef and cabbage. We don’t do too much, but would love to add more fun to the month of March. I cannot wait to share Silly McGilly with my family this St. Patrick’s Day season.

Silly McGilly is a fun Leprechaun who likes to play silly tricks on children during the St. Patrick’s Day season. Read the Silly McGilly book to your children and place the doll by a window each evening you want Silly to play a trick. At night Silly will do some shenanigans in the house. Some tricks can be leaving shamrock stickers around the house, turning the toilet water green, dying milk green, and anything else you can think of. Then in the morning the kids get to wake up and see what crazy tricks their leprechaun played.

The book is absolutely adorable, very relatable, and easy to understand for little ones. The pictures are very colorful and the story is fun to read.

The Silly McGilly doll is very cute and great for kids. The plush is soft and easily sits on a window. This would be a great tradition to begin in any family or classroom. The Silly McGilly website offers some really great ideas for tricks that can be played. I cannot wait for March 1, when I can introduce Silly McGilly to my family!

Week #44 Saturday Top Five Laughs

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Ready to roll with The Mommyhood Chronicles for Saturday Top Five Laughs – week #44 (for us)? Because we are!

5. Child with the quizzes last week added up several quizzes and announces, “If you put them all together, I got 120%!”

4. Jr. wanted to be a tiger so he drew stripes on himself with a pen! Lovely, eh? Yeah, he did whole body coverage, we only took a photo of his arm!

3. On our older daughter’s birthday, our youngest ran into her room and jumped on her saying, “Happy Birthday!” Then he proceeded to ask her to make him a card from him…and she did! lol!

2. When my husband and I did the Pennzoil shop, we walked to get a cart. Hubby got the cart and started back to where I was, in the meantime I had started to walk with another man with a cart, thinking it was him! I looked over and realized it was not my husband and went, “Oh!” He simply said, “Excuse me” to pass by me. I turned and my husband was back a ways. I asked him, “Did you see that?” He said yes, puts his arms out and asks me, “What are you doing?” Then proceeded to teased me. We laughed but I was so embarrassed! I don’t think the strange man realized what I did.

1. When we left the house the cats were on the work horses facing our car in the driveway. When we came back they were facing the exact opposite! Funny cats had not moved other than to turn!

BiteSizers

Posted by 278Wife on February 9, 2015
in Family Stuff, Houseware, Kids Stuff, Parenting, Products for Dad, Products for Mom, Reviews, Uncategorized

Meal time is always crazy at my house. With a growing 5 year old boy and an almost 2 year old girl (going on 15), preparing meals is always hectic. I try my best to have them eat what we eat, but sometimes it’s hard. Trying to cut food up into small enough pieces for their liking while they are yelling “I’m hungry, “Is it ready yet”, etc. can make any mom struggle to have a smooth meal time. Anything that makes this part easier, I’m signing up for!

Thank goodness for BiteSizers! Upon first opening they look like everyday scissors. I thought to myself, they’ll probably work the same as kitchen scissors. Guess what? They work a whole lot better! Way better than using a fork a knife. Who would have thought?! Simply take whatever you are eating, use BiteSizers to cut pieces to your liking, and that’s it! I was honestly amazed at how easily it cut through this quesadilla.

I then went on to cut up some cantaloupe. Usually I use a fork and knife to cut fruit up. Using BiteSizers was a whole lot easier. I went from cutting a quesadilla to cantaloupe, and then I cut up a PBJ just for fun. They work on any food that I would ever feed my kids. I love that it has a Snap-On cap to keep the blades good and for easy travel. I can throw them in my diaper bag easily. There’s even a handy built-in sizer guide so you can cut food to the size recommended by experts as best for children.

Since I started using BiteSizers both of my kids have tried more foods than ever. It’s just so easy to cut a little bite off of whatever I’m eating and share with my kids. BiteSizers are available exclusively at

www.mixedpears.com and www.amazon.com

I would highly recommend them to anyone with young children.

Week #42 Saturday Top Five Laughs

Posted by html404 on January 31, 2015
in Family Stuff, Fun Stuff, Humor, Kids Stuff, Saturday Top Five Laughs, Uncategorized

I think I am finally on a roll for Saturday Top Five Laughs posts. Woohoo! Once again, joining The Mommyhood Chronicles for Saturday Top Five Laughs – week #42 (for us)!

4. Hubby slipped in our hallway and knocked over the water cooler. You would have thought that World War III broke out.

3. Our oldest wanted our youngest to come and give her a kiss goodnight and Jr.’s response was, “No, you didn’t call me ‘the chosen one‘.” Oh my!

2. I am sitting here and I hear a voice groan, “I’m pregnant!” I look over and one of our daughters is sitting next to me with a ball beneath her clothes. Then another daughter does the same thing with another ball, but bigger ball. The first daughter goes, “How many children do you have in there?” Then a third daughter does and and the second daughter asks here, “How many children do you have in there?” I think they have lost it! Now the first daughter just exclaimed, with the big ball beneath her shirt, “Ahhh I am having quadruplets!”

1. Watching children learn to use the yo-yo is funny!

And I cannot think of a fifth one….brain is fried or frozen. Take your pick!
