ZenKid Premium Baby Stroller Organizer Review and #Giveaway

categories: Giveaways, Reviews

Stroller organizer are really handy when you do not have much storage on your stoller. I personally LOVE my Britax B-Agile stroller, but honestly the storage in the thing is terrible…unless you buy the add ons.  ZenKid Stroller Organizer has become one of my solutions to the lack of storage on my stroller.

On the front, it has quite a bit of storage and a built in pocket for your cell phone, mp3 player, or small camera.

The insulated cup holders on the Zenkid are great.  I don’t have to worry about the elastic squeezing my cup or bottle like I did with the organizer that I reviewed a few weeks ago. The pockets will also help keep drinks or bottles the temperature you want them for longer.

The zipper mesh pocket on top is a great place to store cash or debit cards.  You just have to remember to keep an eye on that area.  If you plan on walking away from the stroller, I would recommend taking cash or debit/credit cards out.

One of the things I like best about the ZenKid is the thick Velcro flaps that hooks the organizer on the stroller.  It holds very very well.  However, I could see that this might not fit some different size strollers.  On my B-Agile it fits perfect.

Over all I think it looks pretty good on by B-Agile and it works wonderful for my needs.

If you are thinking you might need one as well, you can get them on Amazon on the following link: http://amzn.com/B00L4JKPWY.  It will cost you between $24 and $40 (also Prime if you are a member), but the price is well worth the benefit on the ZenKid organizer. You can also visit the ZenKid website at http://www.zenkidinc.com/.

Never Mess Bib Review

categories: Reviews

I remember when Goose was a baby, and us fighting with those silly bibs that did a whole lot of NOTHING.  They were pointless and I finally gave up on them and just let her mess her clothes up.  She had plenty of clothes anyway.

I wish back then we had these bibs.  They are called the Never Mess bibs, and can be found on Amazon.

They are great because they are made out of waterproof Gentle-Flex.  Gentle-Flex is an Eco Friendly 100% Non-Toxic, BPA and Lead Free plastic/silicone like material that is just awesome.

The Never Mess bibs have a large pocket at the bottom that is great for catching drops or dibbles. The pocket is also very easy to wipe out or wash.  It’s ok just to stick it in the sink and give it a scrub if the bib gets too messy.

The Never mess bib has this strange little clasp to hold it on the baby.  The only problem I found is with this clasp.  I would worry it could get broken pretty easily if you had a fussy baby who no longer wanted to wear the bib.

Over all I found that these bibs are pretty great!  I would definitely recommend picking some up on Amazon if you have a little one who likes messy feeding times.

ShadyBaby Review

categories: Reviews

Over the past several years I’ve been looking for a high quality auto sunshade for Goose.  I wanted one that would stay on yet not become a projectile in the event of a car crash.  I have been having quite a time finding one.  If I found something that would be safe to use, I couldn’t get it to stick to the window.  If I found something that would stick, then I realized that it would become a projectile.

In my search, I was made aware of the ShadyBaby by CG Babies. These shades are awesome!!

Here is a photo of the sunshade in my Hyundai Santa Fe.  As you can see, it provides enough shade for my daughter’s Britax Pinnacle 90 car seat (love that seat too).   The shades are also really easy to install too.  All have you have to is press them on the window, and they stay.  I would assume that you would need to make sure you window is clean before applying, but I personally didn’t do an cleaning before applying, and it worked just fine.

Another thing I really like about the ShabyBaby shades are, they are really easy to see through.  So you don’t have to worry about having that blind spot while driving.

Overall, these are awesome shades, and I would recommend buying a pack of them. They come in a pack of two at the following link http://goo.gl/jrHcIw, so unless you have a third roll of seats, one pack should be penty for one car.

The only place that I’ve seen these for sale are on Amazon, but are available for free shipping if you have Prime.  So go check them out today.

Gurin Electric Compact Dehumidifier Review

categories: Reviews

A few months ago, my family and I moved into a new home.  The move was great, and we love the house.  However a few things unexpected happened when we moved in.

The one problem we’ve had is the humidity levels in the house.  East TN is known for warm humid summers, and our new 1940’s house seems to hold onto that moisture (plus the basement leaks when it rains, but that’s another story).  So we went searching for the perfect dehumidifier.  We found a great whole house one at Home Depot, but we worried about the bathroom.  The one bathroom in our house had no exhaust fan.  We could open the window when the shower was on, but I was a little worried about privacy and the fact that fall was on it’s way.  That’s when I saw the Gurin Electric Compact Dehumidifier.

Gurin Electric Compact Dehumidifier next to an iPad Mini to show size.

This dehumidifier seemed like the perfect solution to our small bathroom.  It’s pretty quiet, has the perfect size tank for the small room, and it’s easy to empty.

The only problem we’ve had is the dehumidifier started out extremely quiet, but over the past few weeks has gotten a little louder.  The noise seems louder right after we empty the tank.  Not sure what’s going on there.

Overall, I would recommend the Gurin electric compact dehumidifier to those who have small rooms that have a humidity problem, but if you are looking for something for a large room or whole house, look for something else.  This one just won’t cut it.

If you would like to purchase your own Gurin Electric Compact Dehumidifier, you can get it on Amazon at the following link. http://www.amazon.com/gurin-electric-compact-dehumidifier/dp/b00anx1pik/ref=sr_1_6?ie=utf8&qid=1409305453&sr=8-6&keywords=dehumidifier

Shop and Learn Cash Register Review

categories: Reviews

Role playing has always been one of Goose’s favorite play time activities.  We play doctor, vet, restaurant, and like we are at the store pretty much every day.  The Shop and Learn Cash Register has quickly become one of Nora’s favorite toys.

Here is a quick video of Goose playing the the Shop and Learn Cash Register

As you can see, she is having a blast putting the coins in the pay for her purchases.

The Shop and Learn Cash Register comes with plenty of pretend food and money (including a credit card) to keep your little one interested for quite some time.

Not only is this toy fun, but it is also educational.  There are three learning levels on the Shop and Learn Cash Register. The first level is very basic.  When you put in the coins it just counts them, or when you slide a piece of food over the scanner, it just tells you what it is. The next two levels get a little harder.  Here is a video about each level.

Overall, we love the Shop and Learn Cash Register.  It has made for some very fun play time, and has kept Goose very busy while we recently moved.

The only problem we have found is, there is only two sound volumes; loud and very loud.  I wish there was a way to make the sounds a little quieter.

If you are interested in purchasing your own Shop and Learn Cash Register, you can check it out on The Learning Journey International’s website on the following link: http://www.tlji.com/electronic-learning/77-shop-and-learn-cash-register.html

Children ‘N US Stroller Organizer Review

categories: Uncategorized

One thing that I’ve not liked about my Britax stroller since I got it is the lack of storage for drinks, snacks, and items that I need to get to quickly (like my phone).  I have struggled with this for more than a year only because I could not decide what I wanted to use to meet our needs.  Britax makes a bag that hooks onto the stroller, but I read some pretty negative reviews about that one.  That’s when I saw the Children ‘n Us stroller organizer.

This bag has straps that hook onto the stroller’s handle bar.  The straps are adjustable so that you can use it for almost any size stroller.

There is a ton of room inside.  It also has two spots to hold drinks, and a narrow zipper pocket in the back to hold small items.

The drink area is like a mesh pocket with elastic at the top.  It works great with like bottles and tick cups, but I personally would not recommend putting any flimsy cups in there as it might cause them to spill.

There is a flap that cover 1/3 of the top, and closes with a magnetic clasp.  I know that 1/3 sounds strange, but the sides are left open so that you can access the drink pockets without having to open the bag all the way up.

There are also two really nice pockets in the front.  One is open and is great for my phone, and the other has a flap over it that keeps closed with velcro.

Overall, I have really found this bag very helpful on our trips to the zoo.  I no longer have to hope that my stays on the canopy of the stroller, I have a place to put them.

If you are interested in the Children ‘n Us stroller organizer, you can check it out on Amazon or on their website.
