This is a great food dispenser for being on-the-go. It holds enough food for baby when starting to eat purees. I love the fact that I can just stash this in a baggie in my diaper bag instead of having to bring a separate bowl and spoon to feed my little one. I also like the fact that I can stick the frozen cubes of food in the spoon the night before, store it in the fridge and then it is ready to go the next day. Cleaning is easy: just stick it on the top rack of the dishwasher. I haven't had any problems with leaking and my baby (almost 6 months) likes the spoon as much as she likes other spoons that we use. This is not a necessity but it is really nice to have! I plan on getting these in the future for shower presents :). -

When I bought this shampoo I was looking for something that would be a little more natural for my hair and would work with hair that had been dyed. My hair is also naturally on the dry side so after some research I thought I would give this product a try.
The first thing I noticed about the shampoo as I was lathering my hair was the smell. I really didn't like it at all. I also noticed that while I was washing my hair it felt on the dry side but I would give it a chance because sometimes that happens but in the end some products make my hair soft. This did not happen - instead my hair was even more dry after it dried. The only positive I found was it didn't affect the dye in my hair.
Bottom line:
This product may be more for someone who has greasy and chemically treated hair. I will not be buying product again.

Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado, Olive and Basil Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy

My favourite hand cream out there. I love the smell (though someone else may not if they don't want their hands smelling like basil or are allergic/sensitive to products that smell). The hand cream definitely has done wonders with my dry skin. My hands have a tendency to react (break out in hives) to various creams and soaps, which it has not done with this product (though it has with other Crabtree & Evelyn hand creams). My husband even uses this hand cream. -

My little one was born a preemie and unfortunately just would not latch, so I was given these by someone whose baby was onto the 8 oz. bottles.
Pros:
I can count on one hand the number of times my now almost four month old has had gas. These bottles have really done their job. This is also the only bottle my little one likes. I also like the fact that I was able to get the Preemie flow nipples for the bottle because the 1's were just too fast of a flow for her. I also find that the liquid in the bottle stays warm for quite a while.
Cons:
Unless you buy the options bottles you have to use all the components. Also, because of all the components that come with this bottle compared to others it takes a lot longer to wash and sterilize. The bottles are pricier than others, but buying the packs of three does reduce the price per bottle by a bit. I also don't like that the travel caps do not come with the bottles and the lids to cover the nipples are not sold separately. I have also had some issues with leaking, but found out that if the bottle is warmed without anything on top that it will stop the leaking.
Last Words:
These bottles have worked well for us. Our little one loves them and they have done their job.

If you like 50's style fashion than this is a great online boutique. I have ordered various dresses from them and they are super cute. The shipping (from California - they make their products there) is quick and not too expensive. The dresses are a really nice cotton fabric that are nice and light. The customer service has typically been great when any questions are asked. Dresses are pricier (over $100) but are well-made (I have dresses that have literally lasted me years) and are cotton (so very breathable), plus the fact that they are made in the US instead of a sweatshop in China, so you are really getting what you paid for. Only thing is that if you are outside of the US you have to return the product and cannot just get the size exchanged. -

There are so many wraps out there - some more well known than others. I had a baby in August and I was not sure if I would enjoy wearing a wrap, but I was given this one (a brand I had never heard of before), so I thought I would try it.
Pros:
It ties up just the same as any wrap, so once you have figured one out, you have figured them all out. I love the fact that this particular one has the added feature of a pocket in the front (something that I have yet to see with other wraps you can buy). The pocket is deep and sturdy so I have been able to use it for my keys and cell phone if I am off for a walk with the dog or to the mailbox, so I don't have to bring my purse or any bag with me. Also useful for going shopping if you don't want to have to dig around the diaper bag for a card or money or whatever else. The fabric is also thick and stretchy so it will keep little one a little warmer in the fall. The thing I also like about the wrap in general is being able to feed baby easily on the go. It probably comes with babywearing in general, but little one is much less fussy when she is in the wrap while out shopping.
Cons:
While it is nice that the material is nice and thick for winter, fall and spring it may not be breathable or thin enough for summer (re: too hot to use when the temperature is hot). As with other wraps it can be tricky to figure it out and may take a few attempts before being able to use it. It also takes longer to put little one in than just grabbing the infant seat and going. I have found that having the wrap on before leaving the house helps so that when you get to your destination you are ready to go. It is also a little pricier than the other wraps ($10-30 more than Boba and Moby).
Final Words:
If you are thinking about getting a wrap or love using wraps I definitely recommend getting this one because of the convenience added feature of the front pocket. It is well-made and a Canadian-based country.
