NeatCheeks Review!

I have been in search of the best products for my child and have recently stumbled upon Neatcheeks wipes. They are flavored wipes and they are the first(and only!) of their kind. When I first heard of these wipes, I thought it was a great idea but then I tried them and realized they were a GENIUS idea!

 All of the people I have shared these wipes with have really liked the taste! I received both the Fresh flavor and the Just Peachy Flavor! Some of the words used by people I have had try them were Sweet, tasty and convenient.

There are hundreds of different wipe brands out there but only one with flavors that kids will love. Instead of a temper tantrum, the toddlers & children will want more face wipes and will be begging for the wipes like candy!


The NeatCheeks wipes are naturally sweetened with Stevia, a sugar substitute extracted from the leaves of a Stevia rebaudiana. They also contain no GMOS and are alcohol and fragrance free! They also moisturize your child's face!

This company was so willing to send me samples to try with other moms and to write this blog post on for my honest review. When my son gets older, I know I will be purchasing the NeatCheeks wipes for him and some of the moms I shared these with are going out to our local Babies R' Us to buy them right away! Check out their website below!

P.S. The wipes were not only a big hit with the moms and children but also a hit with the dogs! (He reached up and grabbed the wipe right out of a mommy's hand)

Bamboo Nature Diaper Review

During the beginning of my pregnancy I had been very interested in getting samples of different baby products to try. I found Bamboo Nature diapers and requested samples. Luckily enough the company said yes and sent me 4 samples of diapers. I had recently had my son move up to size 1 diapers so we decided to test them out. Here is my open and honest opinion on Bamboo Nature Diapers.

I had never heard of Bamboo Nature diapers before but was excited to try them after taking them out of the package and feeling how soft they were. I did some research and found that the company is very environmentally concerned which is great! I also found out the company doesn't use any dyes or toxic ingredients in their diapers so I won't have to worry about my baby breaking out in a rash. My baby was very comfortable in these diapers and we had no leaks! I am extremely impressed with this brands diapers and will definitely be recommending them to anyone looking for environmentally safe diapers. I find myself noticing Bamboo Nature diapers in stores I typically shop at, such as Walmart and Target, so go try them out today!

My Top 3 Baby Must-Haves(At the Moment!)

 In a world where there are many choices for your little one it can be hard to decide what baby products to use. Whether you are looking for something natural and organic or looking to try out the most popular, it can be a very tough decision. I will be sharing which products I have discovered to work best( with my baby's help of course!) The products that have given me great peace of mind so far are Mustela Hydra Bebe Body Lotion, Boogie Wipes and Babyganics Foaming Dish and Bottle Soap.

My newborn very often than not has dry skin. I have tried a couple of different lotion baby products but none has compared to Mustela Hydra Bebe!

 Mustela Hydra Bebe body lotion uses natural ingredients such as Avocado, Shea and Sunflower. When trying the Hydra Bebe, I found my son's skin to be extremely soft and not to mention how amazing the smell of this product is! I received the product pictured for free from the company when asking for a sample and I am so grateful they sent it to me. I had honestly never heard of the brand before I had my newborn son but when going to stores to pick out products, I find myself seeking out more Mustela products to try for both my son and myself!

If your child is like mine, a stuffy nose is an everyday struggle. Boogie wipes have been my stuffy nose savior! They contain natural saline, known as sodium chloride, which is amazing at thinning and  breaking down mucus. Boogie wipes also contain other natural ingredients like Aloe and Vitamin E to unstuff the stuffiest of noses. They work great any time of year and are especially helpful during allergy season or whenever allergies decide to spring up on you! I find myself not only using boogie wipes for my son but for myself!

Having clean bottles for your baby is extremely important but it is extra important to me because my son is a premature baby, so I was very happy to find a product like Babyganics Foaming Bottle and Dish Soap!
 Babyganics products are non allergic and contain no artificial fragrances. They also use plant based and organic ingredients which helps create(as the company says), "a baby safe world."  Some products can be overwhelming with fragrance but the babyganics brand uses the right amount and leaves your skin soft which isn't the case for some dish soaps. I love the use of natural ingredients and all of their products contain them!

In the end, the decision of what to use depends on your baby and how he or she reacts to the products. I will continue to use these products and I recommend them to any fellow moms or moms-to-be! I can't wait to try more products from each of these companies and urge any of you to do the same!


P.S. Look out for more product reviews as i receive products to test out from companies!

Happy decision making & thanks for reading!

Thoughts of a preemie mom

Being a first-time mom can bring on many different emotions; will I be able to calm him when he cries or will I be be able to give him everything he needs? In my case,  my biggest question was when will I be able to take him home?

 At 33 weeks pregnant, I had a cesarean section and baby Oliver Wayne was brought into the world 7 weeks early. I had developed severe pre eclampsia which caused an excruciating headache and extreme high blood pressure. Just a week before, I thought my pregnancy was going good. I had passed the glucose test and gone to every appointment. I had thought to myself, just two more months and how crazy it was that my due date was so close. But little did I know that one week later I would be in the hospital, being told by my doctor "looks like you're done being pregnant." Those were the scariest words I had ever heard.

What helped me get through the stress and fear was my family, friends but most importantly, my son's father. During my c- section, he was my biggest support, reassuring me that everything was going to be okay and more importantly, our son was going to be okay. The moment we heard our baby's cry we knew our lives would be changed forever. I felt like my life had a purpose and my heart had never felt such love for something ever before.

 Due to Oliver being 7 weeks premature, he had to immediately go to the NICU, where he spent the first 25 days of his life. Being he was only born at a birth weight of 3 lbs 4 oz, he definitely would have to gain weight before he could go home. Those 25 days were hard on us. I would go to the hospital for a few hours a day to feed him, change him and hold him. The day I left the hospital I didn't get to leave like most moms did with their child instead, I got to go home everyday and then return home without him.

            
  The one thing I will never be able to repay is the staff in the NICU. They took care of Oliver & taught be so much about what it meant to take care of him and to nurture him. The day he came home, I was confident because of what the nurses taught me. The NICU will always have a special place in my heart. Without them, Oliver wouldn't be home healthy with us.
