NIVEA Essential Lip Balm
This was a lip balm I would buy again. It's a little big for carrying along with me, but I will definitely have it at home where I have a lip balm in every room in the house. The smell was nice and it felt great on my lips.

Mabel's Labels Back-To-School Label Packs

Although it's too soon to see if these labels will stand the test of time (and washing and use), so far, they are a hit! My son loves the firetrucks with his name and has proudly helped me put them on his belongings to ready his gear for Kindergarten. The quality seems great and I love the idea of the shoe labels that also help tell left from right! Overall, a great product, and if they last as great as they look, I'll definitely be buying more for future years. -

I received my free package of HUGGIES® Little Movers Slip-On® Diaper Pants earlier this week. I was really looking forward to trying these out, as my son is 2 ½ and very active. We tried them out right away, and I was very pleased with them. Easy to put on & take off, they fit well and were just as absorbent as our regular diapers. We had never tried any Slip on Diapers before, and overall, I was impressed.
However… my son was not! I’m not really sure where the problem is, but he HATED them! He wore them for about 2 ½ days. It was at the point where when it was time for a diaper change, he would start crying as soon as I picked one up and kept telling me that he wanted the other ones (our regular disposable ones) So, even though I thought they worked well, we won’t be buying them again. I would, however, tell friends about them and encourage them to give them a try.

I was so excited to be asked to try out the Dove® Beauty Bar recently as part of ChickAdvisor’s Product Review Club.
I’ve pretty much always been a plain soap and water girl. I always, always use moisturizer on my face after washing my face though, because the soap does make my face feel tight afterwards. So I was excited to try the Dove Beauty Bar to see if it made a difference.
It did! My face felt nice and soft after using it, and though I did put on my moisturizer afterwards, I didn’t feel this huge rush to do it, like I usually do with using soap and water.
I was disappointed however, in the lack of suds that the bar produces. Maybe I’m just too used to sudsing up a bar of soap, but the Dove Beauty Bar didn’t make a whole bunch of suds, and I actually had to wash my face twice to get a clean feel and make sure all of my makeup was off.
Overall, I do like the Dove Beauty Bar and I like the idea that it’s gentler on my skin. I probably will stick with my plain soap and water routine in the long run though, as it’s more convenient and quicker.

Huggies Little Swimmers Disposable Swimpants

The weather has been very cool and wet so far this year, so finally we had to try ours out in the bathtub! Thank goodness my 10 month old son loves the tub. :) We have not tried out any other swim diapers so far, but I was quite impressed with these ones. My son seemed quite comfy in them and was happy to play in the tub in them. I did expect them to puff up a bit like a diaper and be heavy, but they didn’t at all. They were also cute! I will definitely buy these again and will be recommending them to my friends with little ones. I look forward to using them once our summer finally arrives and will be stocking a pair in our diaper bag to use for impromptu beach or pool days. :) Thanks Huggies! -

We bought our son the Jolly Jumper when he was 4 months old and he has LOVED it since day 1. He is now 7 months old and loves it just as much. I think it gives him a sense of freedom and a different view on the world, at the same time giving him the security and support he needs. Our baby uses it every day and gets excited when he sees my husband getting the box out.
Also, probably one of the least expensive items of the baby gear we have. No wonder these have been a hit for decades. The only downside (minor) is that you need a door frame to use it on, and with the newer houses of today and the "great room" concepts, there aren't as many door frames in the common areas of the house so we're limited as to where we put it. Doesn't matter though - we make it work! :)

My dad bought this for us as a baby gift. What a fabulous stroller! We started using it right away with our son. We live in a rural area, so we wanted a big wheel stroller to take the gravel roads. This stroller not only looks great, but it's equally as wonderful in the mall as it is on our long gravel driveway. I love that you can put the baby's infant seat into it and it has straps to lock it into place. Our little guy was out of his infant carseat by 5 1/2 months, and the seatbelt in the stroller is comfy and secure and holds him in place. He actually like's it much more than his infant carseat and I love that it's so easy to push. I've even taken him for walks in the snow and it pushes through like nothing. I also love the mommy cup holders and all of the storage room. The MP3 speaker is nifty, but I find it quite cheap and the sound isn't very good. Also, it faces forward so it's louder for the baby than it is for me. I also bought a weather/rain cover for it and a bug cover as well. -

Another awesome Scrubbing Bubbles product. I love the wide spray for the shower walls. A couple of swoops with the can and it's covered. I let it sit while I clean the rest of the bathroom and when I come back to it, a quick wipe with the cloth and rinse and the whole shower sparkles. It also has a decent smell - doesn't knock you out of the bathroom like some cleaners do.
I usually pay around $3.98 for a can, less if I can find a coupon for it. I find it toally worth it. A staple in my bathroom cleaning kit.

I received this as a sample to try and wow was I impressed. I tried it out the first time just to sample it on my bathroom sink. I actually called my husband into the room to show him how it was working! I sprayed it all over the sink and faucet and within seconds you could actually see it cutting through the yukkies on the faucet and it was cleaning the chome without wiping it at all! I followed the instructions and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then wiped it with a cloth. Everything sparkled and it actually did seem to keep the sink cleaner for a couple of days.
Another Scrubbing Bubbles product that I'm impressed with! It's now a regular item in my bathroom cleaning kit!

We purchased the Bumbo baby seat in blue for our (at the time) 2 month old baby boy. We had seen alot of them all over the net and thought it looked like a great seat for our little guy to help him sit up. We purchased this seat and the matching tray for just under $100.00 for the set (in Canada). We figured it had better be really great for that price, as there are alot of baby seats out there for alot less than that. We were wrong.
I know the seat is meant to be a snug fit so that it supports the baby sitting up in it. But I don't think you should have to cram the baby's chubby little baby legs into it. At 2 1/2 months old, our little guy barely fit in it. He isn't an overly chubby baby, but by 3 1/2 months old, and prior to him being able to sit up by himself, we could not get him into it comfortably. He is not comfortable in it at all and at 5 months we bought a seat for $39 that was much more comfy for him and he loves.
I feel the Bumbo was a waste of money. For $100 I would hope he could use the seat for longer than 1 month. I wouldn't recommend this seat unless you have a really tiny baby.
