The Baby Gizmo Buying Guide
“For first-time moms without time or inclination to dally in stores comparing various items for their babies, Maclean and Schultz have compiled a handy baby-gadget buying encyclopedia.” Is how the Baby Gizmo Buying Guide is described. This mommy has to agree.
How I wish I had something like this when we were just starting our family. With the vast amount of baby products out there getting lost is easy. What do you need and what do you not need? Heather Maclean and Holly Schultz have attempted to take their years of baby buying and basically give you a cheat sheet. The sheet just happens to be 457 pages long.
The length would be my only complaint about this book. It makes it seem as intimidating as buying the actual products themselves! However, if you view it as an encyclopedia or reference instead of a book you read from beginning to end the size should not matter, but rather encourage you! For instance if you are interested in buying a new stroller simply turn to chapter 25 and get the low-down.
Special extras in this book are a special section on safety, growth charts and milestonese, a registry list, a section on the perfectly packed diaper bag, a baby brand pronunciation guide, a money saving chapter, and the top 10 things they wished they knew when they were having children. The extras alone could be their own book!
After seeing this book I can definitely say
Now here is the fun part!!!!! I have 3 copies to give away for free! All you have to do is enter and make sure your email field is filled out. You have until April 11th to enter. Spread the word. It is appreciated but not required for you to mention this contest on your own blog and link to this post.
Game on!
Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Diapers
Reduce risk of diaper dash, get first-rate absorbency performance and help the environment. That’s all in a day’s work for the Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Diaper. This made-in-the-U.S. diaper has slowly become a favorite among eco-focused moms, and with its cloth-like comfort, babies will show you their appreciation as well. This chlorine-free diaper relieves the world of adding more dioxin pollution, which is a toxin that is believed to cause cancer. The only knock is that the seventh generation is a bit smaller, which creates a snug feel for the baby, but some more opportunities for leakage. In addition, the absorbent is gel based, so don’t be surprised if you see some gel beads leak out on a really full diaper. Still, for a little bit of a cost upgrade, you are making a giant stride for holistic parenting. 
DWINK
This DWINK is a very simple product and very practical. It’s a clever product made of plastic that prevents juice squirting and spilling. The contoured shape fits drink boxes and pouches of all sizes. It’s very well made with a non-skid base and provides handles for little hands. Its also comes in cute color variations. However, I find that it’s not really necessary for moms with kids until you’ve really experienced major juice spillage.
Infant Rearview Mirror
As moms, we drive everywhere. Whether it’s running errands, picking up and dropping kids off school, or getting a cup of morning coffee, this rear view infant mirror is a great accessory in the car. It allows us to safely see our rear-facing infant clearly. We can get an eye on our babies. See them smiling, falling asleep and playing while you drive. The mirror has a simple attachment, fits most vehicles and comes in cute animals characters. You can choose from a panda bear, to a dog to a bear. Once your child is out of a rear-facing seat, you can use it as a fun mirror toy as well as put it inside a crib.

Kaboost Portable Chair Booster
I can not explain my excitement when I first saw the Kaboost advertised. It is a portable chair booster that fits on the bottom of any for legged chair. I had my reservations but they were all laid to rest when I relived the product. It really does fit most every chair I tried it on. One of the best things is that it weighs around 3 pounds and folds compactly making it perfect to throw in a suitcase for trips. My sons loves this because he can sit in a real seat and eat at the table. However, keep in mind this attaches to the bottom. There are straps to keep the child in the seat. This is a product for children who can sit all by themselves with out the need for straps. With a variety of three colors, there is surely one to fit your décor.

The Safe Side- Stranger Safety
If you happen to be looking for a way to teach your children about strangers but don’t want to scare them to much, Stranger Safety is your answer. This video,produced by John Walsh (America’s Most Wanted) and Julie Clark (creator of Baby Einstein.), will keep your child captivated. They will learn all about the “don’t knows” (people they don’t know) and the “kinda knows” (people they only kind of know), and make a list of “safe side adults” (people that their parents have said they can trust). Stranger Safety teaches kids the do’s and dont’s of stranger safety while entertaining in such a way that the hard reality won’t be scary. In my opinion, every household with children should own this video. I give it the highest praise.

BOON FLO
For my 3 year old, getting him to take a bath is a struggle. But once he’s in, he loves it. Now, as I have discovered the Boon Flo it’s been a cinch and it’s positive solution to our during power struggles for baths. Boon Flo is a water deflector and faucet cover that turns a regular bathtub faucet into a gentle, safe waterfall. It protects your child from leaning back into the unknown, getting suds in the eyes, allowing Mom or Dad to pour cups full of water over your head, or banging his noggin on the faucet, so the entire bathing, washing and shampooing process will be an enjoyable one. I love the fact that (for hip-trendy parents) Flo has an attractive design, sleek and stylish—no cheesy duckies or fishes here! Plus, when it’s time for me to shower, I can leave the Flo on because the shower diverter remains accessible through the upper portion of the faucet cover. The best part is the one-touch bubble bath dispenser. It releases liquid bubble soap into the flow of water and providing more fun time in the bath. It’s very easy to install. Although, it’s designed to fit standard faucets, it does not and easily comes off. So, it’s a hit or miss.
SmartFoodsHealthyKids.Com
There’s been such a craze over being organic. If Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s is your daily hangout, this site is for you! For obvious reasons, there’s been a bit of buzz about raising health conscious kids. The Smart Foods Healthy Kids web site is not secretly run by some manufacturer or trade association but by well-qualified mom of two and environmental expert Kelly Corbet, along with a great team that strives to teach parents how to introduce more healthful habits to the family using the guidelines “yummy, fun, and guilt-free.” About $1 a month provides access to the site’s wealth of recipes, articles, and video features, including tips for feeding kids with diabetes, celiac disease, and allergies. The best part is that you can visually learn about healthy food choices with 1-to-3 minute video segments, which provide examples.
Plus, with so much hype on child obesity as well as adult obesity, this site has taught me many great alternative ways to eating and cooking healthily. Becoming more aware of portion and seeing what ingredients to take out or put in is just the beginning. For starters, I am going to make a fantastic dessert for dinner: low-sugar, gluten-free cookies!
