Still trying to find the PERFECT Mother's Day gift?  If you have a new mom in your life, or know someone that is expecting, this is the gift you need to look at. When Savannah was born, I knew I needed to find something to help us all out when we hit the teething stages.  Sure, you can have teethers and rings to put in the freezer, but if you are out and about running errands, you are not always going to remember to grab that, are you? Chewbeads is something you will remember, because it is something that you wear!  (A little "fashion accessory" if you will.)  I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to review a couple items from the Chewbeads line of products!   FTC Compliant Review Policy: The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

Time sure flies when you have little ones, doesn't it?  I don't remember when it was that Broxton started teething, but it seems like Savannah was teething when she turned 2 months old.  At 5 months now, I would think she was about to bust out a whole set of teeth with the amount of drool and gnawing on things that she does, but no teeth yet.  I am serious, when does it start?  Seems like it is too early for that, but here we are!    Anyways, with teething comes all the gnawing and trying to put everything into their mouth. I was excited to get the chance for us to review the MUNCH MITT aka baby teething mitten.  I knew with the chunky plastic end and the bumps all over it that ...

My husband was headed to WAR... I was moving in with my parents...   I was leaving my life of 10 years and heading over 3 hours away... You can only imagine. Well, I did turn to people for advice ... and I did learn plenty on my own. Blogs were great sources of opinions for me and I learned about so many products. I know that I no longer have a baby, but I did want to share a few baby finds for you... I will be sharing a few different posts this week, in "Bringing Up Baby!"  Hope you enjoy! We had a hard time getting Broxton to take a pacifier (and that was totally fine by me) but there were time...

Having a baby is full of so many different emotions...  I know for us, it was a time of excitement...  but it was also a time of learning...  Marc was deployed and I was determined NOT to have anything (even teeny tiny) go wrong... So, I was researching and reading, trying to learn everything  I could to be the perfect mom!   With that, I was quite surprised when Broxton had this nasty red rash looking thing one day. I totally freaked out!   It was in the folds behind his knees, in the folds where his arm bent...  I had never seen anything like it, but I knew it just had to hurt...  You know what that meant... I called his pediatrician!   Come to find out, he has eczema.  Now, truth be told, I had heard of it... but really did not know what it meant.  Thanks to the Internet, I was able to research and learn.  Now, whenever I have the chance to try and learn about a new product for eczema, I will always ...
