Big Birthday/Back 2 School Bash- Kushies Bag My Review

I got to try out another really cool item when we headed to Lake Tahoe for family vacation. Everyone in our family has their own travel bag. This was my son's first vacation and he didn't have a bag yet. I found a really cute bag and was able to try it out. The bag is from Kushies and is know as My Bag.


The size of the bag was perfect for my son's clothing and the side pockets were perfect for his accessories like hats and sunglasses and socks! I love the heavy nylon the bag is made from and the duffel look. The brown and blue coloring is so cute and boyish and loved how the sides read "Stuff". There is a easy to open zipper top and a extra velcro closure that was really handy. My son loved the dog on the front.


Not only is this a really cool designed and looking bag, it also comes packed full of extras. There is a travel pillow and blanket that is perfect for trips or for daycare. There are separate bags for shoes, clean clothes, dirty clothes and soiled clothing. There is also insulated bags for snacks and for medicine! They have thought of everything. This makes packing up for grandparents, sitters, or daycare a breeze. No more check off lists!

Buy it: Kushiesonline.com sells the My Bag for 79.99, all My Bag orders receive a free Kritter! Use code "afc10" to receive 10% off all orders!

Big Birthday/Back 2 School Bash- Kokopax Review

Kokpax is the home of some really cool carriers, it was even named Best All Around Carrier by Pregnancy Magazine March 2009! They also have a line of totes, sunhats and organic accessories.
I recently tried out their line of totes. I received a Blakely Tote in bubbles. It arrived just in time for a trip to Lake Tahoe we were taking. I decided that would be the perfect time to test this baby out.


The tote itself is really attractive. I love the canvas exterior as it is easy to wipe clean and easy to keep clean. The interior is a really pretty and soft nylon material. I loved that it came with a matching "coin" purse, or mini tote. This would be ideal for makeup or other smaller items to keep them from getting lost. I brought our tote with use to the beach and it was great to have a place to store some cash for lunch! The tote worked perfectly for us for a day at the beach. I was able to fold up some towels and store them and even tote along sunscreen and some water and diapers. In addition to the mini tote the bag had a zipper pocket and three storage pockets to put things like car keys! I loved that the tote has a metal rim around the handles it gave the tote a sturdy feel and made the tote comfortable to carry. The tote still looks brand new even after week at the beach!


Buy it: The tote sells on the Kokopax site for $79.99, use code "afc2009" to receive 10% off!

Big Birthday/ Back 2 School Bash-Cloud B Review

Growing up I had a very special teddy bear that I adored. I loved it so much I kept it with though that there would never be another teddy to ever live up to him. What made him special is when I would hug him his his heart would beat. I loved laying on him like a pillow and listening to his beating heart.
After years of searching I was correct that no teddy quite lived up to him. I gave him to my daughter when she was young and she loves him, even today. My son Loves him two and he becomes a object of many fights. I began searching to see if I could find a new teddy just like him. I found Cloud B. I had seen many reviews on the Twilight Turtle, Twilight Lady Bug and the Twilight Sea Turtle. I always admired the creativity of these little cuddle light up's. I even entered many giveaways hoping to win one. I searched though their other items, I was actually surprised to see how many items they carry, since I had only ever seen the twilight creatures. I came across the Polar Cuddle Cub. I loved how he had the same relaxing look as the other Cloud B animals did but also was struck by the fact that he "shivered" when held. I wondered if this could be the same effect that my beloved teddy had.


We received the Polar Cuddle Cub and I had to admire how adorable he was before even opening the packaging. I mean really he is adorable. He has a look that makes you want to cuddle him. I opened his packaging and checked out the insert. It featured two modes, shiver and heartbeat! I was so excited. In addition, you could set it up to do one of these two things hen hugged or on a timer! My son was immediately in love and walked around holding his cub saying "aww" and he loves to lay down and listen to the heartbeat the way I did when I was a kid. My old teddy is no longer fought over this darling cub is!


The Cloud B Polar Cuddle Cud also Eco-friendly, anti-bacterial soy based fabric! It also has really great memory foam paws. What is it about memory foam that makes it so fun to squeeze? I love that they incorporated that into this bear! I would highly recommend the Polar Cuddle Cub for any one!

Buy it: Visit Cloud B, the Polar Cuddle Cub we reviewed retails for $29 or buy two for $54!!

Big Birthday/ Back 2 School Bash-Pediped Review

Pediped was created in 2004 by a mom and dad who were looking to provide their daughter with style and comforta and also be the healthiest for her feet. Did you know that it's best for children to walk barefoot? That's a far cry from the hard white walking shoes I was brought up wearing! And the ones my husband's grandmother insisted our children needed! The parent's behind Pediped, Angela and Brian Edgeworth set out to create a line of shoes that would be the next best thing to being barefoot. Their creation coming from Pediatrician and the Latin word foot is called Pediped!

In the five years Pediped has been around it has become increasingly popular offering many adorable styles shoes for girls and boy from infancy until early elementary school. There line has grown to include the newest Pediped Couture, these would be awesome for everyday and great with Christmas dresses! They also are carring Non Slip hair clippies now! How cute you can buy accessories to match your children's shoes.


My daughter was sent a pair from the Leilani from the Flex collection to try out. She love's them, they color's are bright and high contrast between the blue and brown's. They are really stunning and like the Flew implies they are flexible. I really love that they feature a rubber toe so I know they will last longer with her rough playing at school the park and everywhere. They shoes are built to last!


Buy it: Visit Pediped, the Leilani shoe's we reviewed are on sale for just $23! The Fall Winter Collections have just been released and start at $32

Big Birthday/ Back 2 School Bash #30- Little Fit Hats

My son has a love of hats. While other people struggled to keep them on their children's head's we have a child who will wear one everyday if we let him. He has so many different styles from cool beanies to baseball caps. As he has gotten older we wanted something "cool" for him to wear. It seemed we were stuck between a "dorky" little boy cap and the too big cool big boy caps. Little Fit solved that problem.


Little Fit has really cool designs that aren't "dorky" by any means. There hats are scaled down versions of a adult cap. No short bill here! They have great fitted styles as well as, trucker styles.
We had the opportunity to try out the Skull & Bones Black Trucker. My son was so excited to get his new hat, and couldn't wait to wear it. it went from box to his head and didn't leave it for a good week! Because of the trucker style it has an adjustable back. My son is two and the cap adjusted to fit his head perfectly. My daughter also really loves the hat and although she is six the hat adjust to a size that fits her as well! So I know this cap will be around for years to come.


Their great style aren't just limited to the cool boys in your life. Their girl styles are totally awesome as well. I know my daughter would want one of each. My favorite girl style is the Leopard Cap. My daughter loves animal prints and I love the busy pattern as I know it wouldn't show dirt as well!

Win it: Little Fit is offering 1 lucky reader a hat of their choice!!

To enter: Visit Little Fit and let me know your favorite style.

What's better than safe comfortable flexible shoes for your children? Well how about Eco Friendly, safe comfortable shoes for your children? That is what drew me in to Pedoodles, well that and the fact that their shoes are adorable. The PedFlex soles are made from recycled materials, the leather is lab tested and the packaging is also made out of recycled materials!
The Styles of Pedoodles are bright and fun, I love that they have mix match styles, and really fun names.

It's really creative and a lot of fun and gives you a lot of choices! The shoes have a wide foot bed that is really comfortable for my son.

Big Birthday/ Back 2 School Bash #28- Mabel's Labels

My daughter has surprised me with what she can loose. The first day she wore her brand new jacket to school it came up missing! I was first asked "Well, is her name on it?" nope it wasn't. I was sent to kindergarten lost and found, yes they have their OWN lost and found. I dug through piles of jackets, socks, t-shirts and lunch bags. It was is shock at what these kids leave behind. When her jacket wasn't there I was sent to the cafeteria to dig through 1-5th grade lost and found. I felt like crying when the lady pointed to a mountain of clothes and informed me there was more in another location. I never found her jacket. I scoured kids daily waiting for someone to show up wearing it and that never happened either. We never saw it again!


I was surprised to see the items that were in lost and found. These kids would lose their heads if it wasn't attached. I figured it was time to tart marking her clothing. The thought of taken a permanent marker to clothing I just purchased didn't sit well with me. There had to be a better way, and there is... Mabel's Labels!


I love that I was able to essentially customize my daughters labels with a design and color of her choice. The Ultimate Back-To-School Combo Pack is huge and covers everything from shoes to backpacks to school shirts! We will not lose another jacket this year! I refuse to buy two, and fill confident this year with Mabel's Label's help I wont have to!

Buy it: The Ultimate Back To School Combo Pack features 108 labels for just $39. It is available for just a limited time so hurry before it's gone!

Win it: Mabel's Labels is offering 1 lucky reader a set of the Ultimate Back To School Combo Pack.

Big Birthday/ Back 2 School Bash #26- Built NY

Built NY is unlike any other company I've seen. They are unique int he sense that there products are made of Neoprene. You know the stuff wetsuits are made of, only Built NY doesn't make wetsuits. They make cases for laptops and other gadgets, lunch totes, water bottle covers, baby bibs and more! There selection of neoprene items is huge and everything looks really neat. My favorite item I would love to try is the Cargo Camera Bag, This has to be the nicest camera bag I've seen and I know it would be so light weight and perfect for all my camera supplies!


We were sent a Tasty Tote to try out. It's really light weight and came in a fun stripe print. It's the perfect size for a lunch for myself or for my daughter. I could fit a small Tupperware in it along with a snack and drink no problems. I love the big zipper closure the makes it easy for my daughter to use. Even with the tote packed full with heavy items the neoprene handle was very comfortable to hold and comfortable. When it's not in use it fold's nicely and can be tucked away into a purse or backpack. This is essential for my elementary aged daughter. She never forgets her lunch bag when it has food in it but when it's empty it tends to get left at school. her being able to put this bag in her backpack will eliminate having to carry another item around! I'm excited that this year I will be able to end her to school with a hot lunch, the neoprene keeps food hot or cold for up to 4 hours! She will be thrilled to have mayo on her cold lunches this year also since last year I couldn't use it for fear it would be hot and spoiled before she got to eat it. The Tasty Tote also contains no PVC or Vinyl and is tested for lead safety!



Buy it: Tasty Tote sells for $20-22 at Built NY.

Win it: Built NY is offering 1 lucky reader a Tasty Tote!

Big Birthday/ Back 2 School Bash #25- Safe Sippy2/ Safe Sporter 2 WINNERS

I was given the opportunity to try out the New Safe Sippy2 and the New Safe Sporter. Both my children were able to participate which was great. My son loves sippies, with the new Safe Sippy2 he got to enjoy not only having a sippy but also go to enjoy having a straw cup. This is the first and only transitional sippy to straw cup available. We were really excited to try them out.

When it arrived I noticed it had three "spouts" One for sippy one for straw and one sealer. I love the idea of the sealer, I can pop it in when were traveling to prevent leaks. The sippy also comes with a handle so it's easy for little hands to hold. I love the rubber sleeve that is on the sippy. It protects little hands from the cold steel and lso helps prevent it from sliding around...say off the table. I was nervous about removingthe sleeve to clean, afraid I would never get it back on. There was instruction included and I followed them and was surprised it wasn't hard at all! MY son it using these in sippy mode only for now since he tips the cups back and it will leak. We have had a few issues of the "stopper" popping out after being dropped, which leads to me finding something to fish through milk to find it int he bottom of the cup. The design of the spout helps to prevent a big leak when this happens which is nice.

My daughter got to try out the Safe Sporter. It looks similar to the Safe Sippy2 with the fun colored rubber sleeve. She got the 12oz size, perfect for her lunchbox. I really love that the Safe Sporter features a flip top lid so I don't worry about he loosing that. is has a sport bottle style spout that she can open and close as she needs and it doesn't leak at all! We really love the Safe Sporter. She uses her's everyday, I know this will be her preffered school cup (yay! no juice boxes!). The wide mouth make cleaning a breeze!

Win it: Kid Basix is offering 1 lucky reader a set of 3 Safe Sippy2, and 1 reader a set of 3 Safe Sporter.

To enter: Visit Kid Basix and let me know your favorite color Safe Sippy2 AND favorite color Safe Sporter!
