Infantino Vintage Twist & Fold Activity Gym & Play Mat (Review + Giveaway)

When you have a baby, you acquire a lot of stuff and pretty soon, your whole house looks like a toy store. Luckily, manufacturers are taking that into account these days and they are making baby items smaller, more compact and easy to store. Infantino happens to be one of those companies and their Twist & Fold Activity Gym & Play Mat is fun for baby to use and easy for parents to store.

The Twist & Fold Activity Gym & Play Mat from Infantino is a super soft activity mat that baby will love. Filled with a variety of toys in different shapes and colors, the Twist & Fold Activity Gym offers three different stages for baby to play and learn - sit and play, overhead play and tummy time. 

Thanks to the new take on a classic design, the Twist & Fold Activity Gym folds compact and is perfect for play while you are away from home. The gym folds up easily, with just a twist of the knob in the center of the mat, and allows baby to have a safe play space when you travel. Also, this gym is ideal for homes that are limited on space because it can be compactly stored in a closet or under the bed.

Infantino recently sent us the Vintage Twist & Fold Activity Gym & Play Mat to review and I am loving how compact it is! Because we are limited on space, even though we just moved into a bigger home, the Twist & Fold Activity Gym is ideal for us and fits perfect in the corner of Baby Girl's room. I really like how easily it folds up and you can even leave the toys attached to the loops when folding! This activity mat will also be great for us when we visit family out-of-town because we can just fold it up and put it in the trunk!

Another thing I really like about the Vintage Twist & Fold Activity Gym & Play Mat, is the variety of toys that it comes with. Included with this play mat is a mirror, click-clack elephant, teether monkey, jingling lion, giraffe and bolster pillow for tummy time. Each linkable toy is soft and colorful and perfect for baby to discover and learn.

Because it can be used in three different stages of play, this activity gym and play mat can save you money! When baby is tiny, overhead play can be used with the toys linked to the arch loops. Then, for tummy time when baby is a bit older, you can link the toys to the play mat itself and use the included bolster pillow for added support. Plus, the peek-a-boo mirror entices and entertains baby during tummy time. When baby can sit unsupported, you can use the gym as a play mat and baby can play independently with the toys. Overall, the Infantino Vintage Twist & Fold Activity Gym & Play Mat is fun for baby, compact for parents and will save you money in the long-run.

Buy It: The Infantino Vintage Twist & Fold Activity Gym & Play Mat ($39.98, but on-sale for $29.99) can be purchased at www.toysrus.com

Fight Spring Allergens with all free clear (Review + Giveaway)

 In our neck of the wood's, pollen is everywhere you look. From cars to patio furniture, everything seems to be coated in a yellow film that is wrecking havoc on seasonal allergy sufferers, including C. And while there is nothing we can do about the record high pollen counts, we can help combat the pollen that sticks to our clothing with all free clear.

"Spring has sprung in America, and with it comes increased pollen counts throughout the country. Experts predict this could be the worst allergy season on record, wreaking havoc on America's 40 million seasonal allergy sufferers. (According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America) Unsuspecting sufferers may not realize that millions of seasonal allergen pollen grains get trapped in clothing and are brought into homes undetected. According to a recently published study, on a peak pollen day, a large t-shirt can trap up to 7 million pollen grains." (According to a published study by Grana, an international journal of palynology and aerobiology, over a 24-hour time period.)

Recommended by dermatologists and allergists for sensitive skin, all free clear removes the #1 spring allergen - grass and tree pollen - with every wash. Specially formulated with SkinSmart Surfactant Technology, all free clear also tackles dirt and stains while still be gentle on your family's skin.
To help us enjoy this beautiful spring weather, we were recently sent an all free clear picnic kit that included a bottle of all free clear, a laundry bag to place the blanket and clothing in after enjoying the outdoors and a fun picnic kit full of must-have picnic items.

Having been an all free clear user for years, I already knew how well it worked on clothing without irritating sensitive skin. In fact, I used all free clear laundry detergent on Princess P's clothes when she was a baby and I am doing the same with Baby Girl. However, I didn't know that it removes 99 percent of grass and tree pollen from clothing, in both hot and clod water. Since C suffers from seasonal allergies, this is a huge plus for him. Now, not only will I wash the girl's clothing in all free clear, I will be washing ours in it, too!

After we enjoyed our "backyard picnic", I tossed the blanket in the wash with all free clear and not only did it come out clean, but it came out pollen free as well!

Comfortably Carry Baby with the Support Ergonomic Cotton Carrier from Infantino (Review + Giveaway)

With all of the different style carriers available today, it is hard to know which one will be the right fit for you and your child. A lot depends on the age and weight of your child, what position you want to carry your child in and your price range. For example, we have tried countless carrier options over the years and have only found a very select few to be truly functional for us. However, since Princess P is older, I am anxious to see how those carriers will function when we use them with Baby Girl. One carrier I am extremely anxious to try out with her is the Support Ergonomic Cotton Carrier from Infantino!

The Infantino Support Carrier is ergonomically designed to be comfortable for you and baby. Made from soft, breathable cotton material, the Support Carrier allows you to carry baby in two different positions, front carry and back carry, and lets baby ride in a natural sitting position to keep you both comfortable and cozy.

Designed with comfort in mind, the Support Carrier from Infantino features a padded lumbar support for added back support and to help ease shoulder strain. The extra padded shoulder straps also help to ease weight on the shoulders and provide added comfort. Together, the ergonomically designed strap system distributes baby's weight to allow for comfortable carrying for you and provides a natural sitting position for baby.
We recently received the Support Ergonomic Cotton Carrier to review and I have to say that I was extremely pleased with its overall design. Not only is it super soft and stylish (thanks to its inside print), but it is also great to use with babies and toddlers (8-40 lbs). Plus, the Support Carrier's simple design allows for more carry time with baby and less hassle!
One of the features I love most about this carrier is the fact that it can be used with smaller babies, a feature that not a lot of carriers offer. Thanks to its high head support, you can use the Support Carrier from Infantino in the "Infant Hug Hold" and carry small babies close and comfortable to you. I love that this comes built-in on this carrier and that you don't have to buy a special insert to be able to carry small babies.

When baby can hold his or her head up, you can switch to the facing-in position that allows baby's legs to wrap comfortably around you. Baby can stay in this position until no longer comfortable or until he or she can sit up on their own. Then, you are able to switch to the back carry position until your child reaches 40 lbs.

One thing I did want to take note of, though, is that in the instructions for the back carry position, you need assistance getting baby into the carrier. This could pose a problem for parents who are out and about by themselves and wanting to use the carrier. Although, if you are home alone, and have used the carrier in the back carry position before, you might be able to get your child in the carrier while sitting on the bed or couch. Also, the Support Carrier doesn't have any small pockets for items such as keys, pacifiers, etc. Other than that, though, I am extremely excited to use this carrier with Baby Girl when she gets here!

Buy It: You can purchase the Infantino Support Ergonomic Cotton Carrier ($49.99) at babiesrus.com

Summer Styles that are Picture Perfect! (Vintage Couture Review & Giveaway)

I think that everyone knows that I adore Vintage Couture! Having worked with them for several seasons now, I can't seem to get enough of their playful styles and on-trend designs. And, of course, this summers line isn't an exception! From the beach ready styles in the Picture Perfect collection by Trista Sutter to the pretty and bold designs from the Artistic Rose collection, Vintage Couture will have your little one dressed in style this season!

Vintage Couture's Summer 2012 lines are filled with vacation ready pieces that are both innocent and fun. The Picture Perfect collection by Trista Sutter is all about pure white (a staple color for the season) and ruffles for the girls and white with just a hint of blue for the boys. If you are looking for a more bold and bright look this summer, the Jagged Edge collection features playful stripes and pastel colors mixed with charcoal grey that makes for a fun and lively line. Also, Vintage Couture is now offering an older girls line, Drama Tween, that features fresh and fun styles.

Even though I am loving all of the new collections from the Summer 2012 line, I am still obsessing over the Vintage Couture Spring 2012 collections! My favorite, the Blushing Paisley collection by Trista Sutter, features simply adorable styles that are created with a 60's blend of soft paisley and delicate layers of pink and blue. So, when I was given the opportunity to review an item from Vintage Couture, I knew that Princess P just had to have the Blushing Paisley Dress!
When the Blushing Paisley Dress from Vintage Couture arrived, I found it to be even more pretty in person than it is in the catalog! This adorable dress features a custom paisley print on the top and bottom with soft layers of aquatic blue and peachy pink mixed in between. The most perfect part, however, is the open back that ties for a super sweet look. Also, for even more fun, the Blushing Paisley Dress comes with a removable flower pin that can be worn on the dress or in your little one's hair!
Princess P has wore the Blushing Paisley Dress several times now and she gets compliments on it wherever she goes! I just love the sweet and retro look of the dress and the back is just to die for! Caring for the dress has been simple, too! I simply remove the pin, wash on cold and then hang to dry. The Blushing Paisley Dress from Vintage Couture will see plenty of wear this summer I am sure. Now, I just need to purchase the matching Blushing Paisley Romper for when Baby Girl gets here!

Buy It: The Blushing Paisley Dress ($54-$58) can be purchased at www.vintagecourture.com

Wisk Deep Clean Receives Product of the Year Award (Review + Giveaway)

 

If I've blogged it once, I've blogged it a thousand times - laundry in our household is a constant thing! From C's work uniforms (aka - fancy collared shirts with patches on them) to Princess P's grass-stained knees, it seems like most of my time is spent in the laundry room. (Hey, that's why I have fancy curtains and pretty signage in the room!) So, when I heard that Wisk Deep Clean was awarded Product of the Year, I knew that I wanted to try it and put it to the test.

Wisk Deep Clean Laundry Detergent is specially formulated to treat tough stains, like "Ring around the Collar", by penetrating the fabric and attacking hidden body oils and sweat that some detergents can leave behind. Available in five powerful varieties, Original, High Efficiency, Oxi Complete, Fresh Breeze and Free & Pure, Wisk Deep Clean Laundry Detergent redefines what it means to be clean.

Recently, I received a sample of Wisk Deep Clean Laundry Detergent to review and the first thing that I noticed was how good it smelled! Normally, laundry detergent smells good in the bottle but when you get your clothes out of the wash, they don't quite smell the same. However, I am happy to report that when I used the Wisk Deep Clean sample, they came out smelling great!

(Illustration of one week of body oil and sweat!)

Since dark colors make-up most of mine and C's wardrobes, I decided to use the sample of Wisk Deep Clean on a large, dark load. Of course, this load of laundry included C's work shirts, t-shirts and basketball shorts, which usually smell really great when I dig them out of the hamper. Even though some stains didn't come out (like the one's that have been there for a really long time and will probably never leave), I am happy to report that the fresh stains (like condiments and I don't know what else) were removed. I only wish that I had more than just a sample of the Wisk Deep Clean Laundry Detergent so that I could put it to the ultimate test on other loads of laundry!

Buy It: Wisk Deep Clean can be purchased at key retailers nationwide. (Prices vary from location)

Help Baby Enjoy Tummy Time with the Right Angle Tummy Triangle from Infantino (Review & Giveaway)

When Princess P was a baby, tummy time wasn't always an enjoyable experience - for neither her nor me! Some days she didn't have a problem with it and would laugh and play and other days she would scream bloody murder. Though, I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that she was flat on her tummy and that wasn't always the most comfortable position for her. Luckily, Baby Girl will have the Right Angle Tummy Triangle from Infantino to help combat those tummy time blues!

The Right Angle Tummy Triangle from Infantino was developed with Pediatric Occupational Therapists to help baby enjoy tummy time thanks to its unique angled shape. The incline on the Right Angle Tummy Triangle not only helps develop upper body strength, but it also promotes neck control and contributes to baby's sense of balance. The removable peek-a-boo mirror and crinkly busy bee also help grab baby's attention and encourage reaching - and fun!

Since babies grow so fast, the Infantino Right Angle Tummy Triangle (for 0-5 months) features an adjustable activity arch with three different positions - one for minimal head control, one for gaining neck and arm strength and one for lifting head and reaching. Each of these positions helps baby reach developmental milestones and have an enjoyable time while doing so!

Infantino generously sent us the Right Angle Tummy Triangle to review and since it's arrival, I have had a hard time keeping Princess P off of it! Even though she knows that it is for her baby sister, she has still had fun playing with its removable toys and laying on the incline. One thing is for sure, the Right Angle Tummy Triangle is tough because it has withstood a very active pre-schooler!

When the Right Angle Tummy Triangle arrived, I did have a hard time placing the red plastic caps into the base and it literally took ten minutes to figure out how to get them in there! But, after a bit of muscle and determination, I manged to get them in place and attach the activity arch. I really like that the mirror and bee are on removable hooks because they can be repositioned anywhere on the arch and even removed for separate play. I also really like the fact that the padded fabric cover is machine washable because we all know how messy babies can be! The Right Angle Tummy Triangle from Infantino also comes with a musical timer that plays for 1, 5 or 10 minutes to keep baby entertained during tummy time.

Overall, I think that the Infantino Right Angle Tummy Triangle has a wonderful design that will allow babies to enjoy tummy time more. I can't wait for Baby Girl to get here so she can try it out! For now, we at least know that her sister gives it her seal of approval!

Buy It: The Right Angle Tummy Triangle ($29.99) can be purchased at toysrus.com

Put a Spring in your Step with Naturalizer's Newest Collection (Review + Giveaway)

With spring in full swing, it's time to put away those winter boots and breakout those pretty summer sandals! And, if you are anything like me, there is nothing like a stylish wedge sandal to get your spring started off right. However, since I am around 7 months pregnant, I can't really wear my normal wedge's around comfortably. Well, that was until I met Naturalizer.

Founded in 1927, Naturalizer was created on the idea that women's shoes should look as beautiful as they feel. By combing comfort and style in a wide range of products, Naturalizer offers women a shoe that will leave their feet feeling great and looking good, no matter the occasion. Whether you are looking for casual shoes, flirty sandals or even fitness shoes, Naturalizer has a style that is perfect for you!

Since Naturalizer is so committed to comfort, each of their styles feature the exclusive N5 Comfort System (five essential features that are proven to provide all day comfort: extra cushioning, breathable linings, balance with every step, flexible soles and lightweight material) to keep your feet feeling as good at the end of the day as they do at the beginning. Also, Naturalizer is still one of the few brands in the marketplace that offers women hard-to-find sizes (4.5-12) and various width options.

Naturalizer generously sent me the Payton wedges in the red shiny/brown leather color to help me put my best foot forward this spring. These wedges feature wide crisscross straps, a rounded toe and an adjustable sling strap to ensure a secure fit. The inside of the shoes boast smooth lining and a cushioned insole (with the N5 Comfort System) that will allow you to wear these stylish wedges all day long. For work or play, the Payton wedge sandals from Naturalizer will give your outfit a serious boost!

Since I haven't been able to wear shoes with any height to them in months, I welcomed the Payton wedges with open feet arms and I can honestly say that they are actually comfortable to wear! The cushioned sole feels great on my feet and allows me to keep them on longer than just a few minutes. I also like the fact that they have an adjustable strap on the back so I can keep them on. At first, I was worried that the red on the shoes would be a bit too much, but I have learned that it actually helps spice up a neutral-colored outfit. The Payton wedges from Naturalizer are a welcome addition to my spring wardrobe!

Buy It: The Payton wedges ($79.99  - but are currently on-sale for $69.99) can be purchased at www.naturalizer.com

Infantino Savvy Bag Baby Changing Clutch - The Slim and Stylish Diaper Bag Alternative (Review & Giveaway)

Since Princess P has been out of diapers for awhile now, I haven't had to carry a diaper bag in forever! But, with Baby Girl arriving soon, a diaper bag is going to become a part of my everyday life once again. Or is it? Thanks to Infantino and their new Savvy Bag Baby Changing Clutch, diaper bags might become a thing of the past!

 

The new Savvy Bag Baby Changing Clutch from Infantino is an on-the-go tote with a fold-out changing pad that can be used wherever you go! Thanks to its slim and smart design, the Savvy Bag holds diapers, wipes and everyday essentials on the inside as well as a full-size, fold-out changing pad that detaches from the clutch. The Infantino Savvy Bag Baby Changing Clutch is perfect for around town trips or far away travels!

Recently, Infantino sent me a Savvy Bag Baby Changing Clutch to review. This handy clutch features a fun red and cream print on the outside and a coordinating removable brown strap that allows you to carry it by hand (or in your purse) or on your shoulder. The Savvy Bag's ingenious design not only gives you the option of folding the water resistant pad into the bag, but you can also detach it from the clutch (courtesy of three metal snaps) and carry it separately. The small but spacious inside gives your plenty of room to store several diapers, a small thing of wipes and other essentials (like keys, diaper rash cream, etc.) so you have whatever you need at your fingertips. Whether you are headed to the park, out on a few errands or over to the grandparent's house, the Savvy Bag from Infantino is a terrific option for changing baby on the go.

When you first look at the Savvy Bag Baby Changing Clutch, you honestly think it is a purse! But, when you open it up, you find that it actually designed for baby! I love that the changing pad is full size, water-resistant and that it detaches from the clutch, but the best part is that it has a built-in pillow for baby's head! I also really like that it easily stores all of your changing essentials in one place. So, when you are out and about, you can just grab the clutch and head to the ladies room and not have to dig in a diaper bag for diapers, wipes and the changing pad. The Savvy Bag will also fit great into a diaper bag or purse if you want, so you can still have all of your other things handy but have a clean place to change baby. The Infantino Savvy Bag Baby Changing Clutch works great as a diaper bag alternative or as a handy addition to your diaper bag!

Say Goodbye to Odors with Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator *Review + Giveaway*

As a mom and wife, I find myself in the laundry room at least four or five days out of the week. Whether I am washing six loads at a time or just doing a small load of towels, one of my biggest pet peeves is for my laundry not to smell fresh and clean when it comes out. Luckily, I have Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator on my side to help get rid of those pesky, everyday odors and help ensure that our clothes smell like they are supposed to!

Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator is a laundry aid that is specially formulated to capture bad odors in the wash cycle and wash them away in the rinse cycle. By using Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator along with your regular detergent, your clothes will come out odor free and smelling like your regular laundry detergent (because it doesn't interfere with the detergent smell!). Stinky uniforms, musty towels and fitness clothes don't stand a chance against Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator!

Recently, I was sent a Febreze Common Sense Institute Kit that includes must-have laundry taming tools like a coupon for a free bottle of Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator, an official guide filled with tips and advice for the freshest laundry, a Febreze towel and a Tide Odor-Absorbing Travel Laundry Bag.

To put the Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator to the ultimate test, I added it to a load of towels that had been sitting in the laundry room for over a week. Some of the towels and wash clothes were a bit damp when they were put in the hamper, so they smelled real nice when it came time to wash them. After I started the water and added my regular detergent, I added a 1/2 cup of the Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator directly to the water and then added the towels. When I got the towels out of the washing machine, I didn't notice any odors and all I could smell was the detergent. However, I knew that I needed to dry them before I could tell just how well it worked.

When it came time to get the towels out, I was pleasantly surprised at the smell of the towels. No longer did they smell musty, but they smelled fresh and clean just like the detergent! After folding all of them, and not smelling any odor at all, I was convinced that the Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator really works! Now, I use it in almost every load of laundry (with the exception of Princess P's and Baby Girl's) to get our laundry smelling fresh!

Buy It: Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator ($9.99) can be purchased at drugstore.com
