My favourite brand of cleaning wipes. With 4 kids cleaning items like this really help clean up messes as well as disinfect. I like that they are strong and tough. Not at all flimsy and hold up to a good scrub and many wipes. Love the Lemon scent best but all scents are nice. I definitely recommend these. -

Goo Gone Oil is one of the best products for cleaning etc. that I have ever used. With little effort it de-greases, removes stains, goo, glues residue from price stickers, kids stickers, masking tape, scotch tape, duct tape, electrical tape, some types of marker, crayons, candles, tar lipstick, tar , gum and I'm sure more. Works on a ton of surfaces and things. A must for parents.A little goes a long way and it lasts for a long time, I've had my bottle for many years and it isn't even half gone and still works well. It has a pleasant orange smell. Highly recommend this product. -

This is the lighter weight or cooler version of the Baby K'tan Carrier/Sling for baby wearing. It is part mesh fabric, part cotton to give you the choice for warmer weather or for Mum & baby as to which fabric is more suitable for each. I love that choice as both my babies and I get quite hot even without a carrier. There is a sash that turns into a pouch which is great for storage at home, diaper or stroller. Comes in a few different colours, mine is black so it goes with everything which is important to me.
The draw back is that these are sized and there is much debate as to whether they fit accurate to size or too big/too small. Most likely you have to buy a size for each wearer. For me I was between sizes which made it less than perfect sizing up or down. So for me I had very limited use with it. Still think it is a great product if it fits you appropriately. Definitely try before you buy if at all possible with Baby K'tan carrier/sling. I also only think it's suitable for for the first few months or for before baby's weight is too much of a strain for use of a carrier with no back support. I also found there's a learning curve to getting it on properly to the fabric of your choice.

Suse's Kindercoat is a great multi use coat. Namely for baby wearing but could be used for Maternity. With an original, deluxe and some variations for different weather/uses with zip in out panels with and with fleece layers, detachable hoods etc. A terrific alternative to Maternity store only for 1 Season coats/jackets. You have the choice of new or like new to meet most budgets. Before, after, back wearing, front wearing, I think they thought of it all! I also like that they have a version for men though I think the coat as is fine for either sex. I love the versatility of it. I can even use it for just me after I don't need it for baby wearing. You can machine wash carefully, but no dryer or fabric softener, stain remover products etc. I highly recommend this! http://www.suseskinder.com/ -

The Boba or also known as Peekaru Fleece Vest is a great baby wearing item. I love baby wearing and do so all year round so good clothing to go along with my carriers is a must. I love that this sort of in between seasons item. For Spring or fall days when you worry that it's still too cool for baby but you don't want to or need to wear a coat/jacket. it's a cozy, comfortable, soft fleece in a cute style to accommodate you both. I especially like The Boba jacket and Vest for the first months with a carrier. Much simpler than some clothing when you have a new baby-no panels to zip or change. I love mine and recommend this. Not easy to find but worth it if you do. These are much more affordable than than the Maternity store options. I highly recommend either Jacket/Hoodie or Vest, both is even better ;0) -

Boba ( formerly Peekaru) Jacket/Hoodie is a baby wearing item that covers Mum & baby in a carrier. I love mine! I enjoy baby wearing all year round and special clothing like this makes it so much easier! I do also just get oversized or Men's items as well but it is great when you can find something suitable & affordable that is actually meant for the job. I love the fabric, look and feel of this item. It's cozy & comfortable. Mine is black so it goes with everything which is a bonus for me. It's a great well constructed jacket with quality zippers and fabric. The only thing I'd change is that I have to pull it over my head which is just something I personally try to avoid. If you can get your hands on one I highly recommend this! It also comes in a fleece vest in several colours. Love my vest too :0) -

I love Mountain Dew and most of the variations. There have been contest flavours, limited time etc over the years as well as some only available in the US. When I'm in the US I try to get my hands on flavours I haven't tried usually because it's not available here. Live Wire to my knowledge isn't available here in Canada. This supposed to be a "blast of orange flavour" Not my favourite spin off but better than most orange pop/soda/soft drink I've had. Somewhere between an soda with orange juice or plain orange soda with mountain Dew mixed. Somehow not what I was expecting from a Mountain Dew. If you like Mountain dew spin offs or orange pop try it if have the chance. -

I love Mountain dew and the various limited time and contest versions and Code red is my second favourite to the original. I'm sad when it disappears and thrilled when it reappears every so often or on visits to the US or stores that some how get there hands on it when not readily available. It has such a wonderful fruity flavour. It is supposed to be a cherry flavour but reminds me of fruit punch really. Whatever, I just like it. Whether it's at a US Taco Bell fountain, a 7-eleven fountain/can/bottle or Slurpee I'll take it. I enjoy it every way available, though I haven't tried the Australia/new Zealand version sadly, but it is a berry flavour (Sounds just as great to me). I recommend it. -

Mountain Dew is long time favourite of mine and in our household. Also so have as well as the spin offs & limited time versions over the years. I've now tried the US Taco Bell fountain & freeze line version and bottled versions in stores. It's supposed to be a lime flavour blast, well I'm still waiting for the blast. I love lime and I couldn't even tell in any of the incarnations it was lime. Citrusy sort of yes but lime nope. I was rather disappointed each time. After a few different ways to taste it I am very disappointed with flavour. My husband has only had bottled and for him the taste grew on him. I found an aftertaste grew the more I drink actually. If you like Mountain Dew variations try it once to see what you think. To me it doesn't live upto the the brand or tastes. -

This is another amazing smelling Stain Stick product from Buncha Farmers called Manuka Honey and Lavender Stain Stick. I love natural scents of these products, they have such pure a smell. Hard to believe but I actually enjoy stain removal because of the wonderful scents and it all seems so much less a chore.
"Manuka Honey and Lavender is made with saponified oils of Olive, Palm and Coconut with Manuka honey and Lavender essential oil." Made with Genuine Manuka Honey from New Zealand (The Healing Honey). "Manuka Honey and Lavender is calming and soothing", very accurate in my opinion. They are handmade here in Ontario and a great for use on clothes for those with sensitive skin. My kids and I have Eczema and I am very careful about what I use on their clothes for stains, softening and cleaning. I also have used it on for baby clothes and linens, better than any baby or stain detergent product I've ever used over the years. (There are very few stains this hasn't worked on and those are usually on items I didn't use it on soon enough. Even then it still lifts some of the stain still). I keep a bar in my bathroom to remove stains immediately and 1 in my laundry room for stains I find as load my washer. I can't recommend this product enough! Highly recommend it. It also comes in a Eucalyptus and a Manuka Honey and Lemongrass I have reviewed, as well as Manuka Honey and Oatmeal which I have yet to try. The later is " is non scented with the goodness of oatmeal and honey."
