Earth's Best Chlorine Free #Baby Wipes {Review} #Sponsored

Thank you Earth's Best for providing me with Earth's Best Chlorine Free Baby Wipes to review as part as the Earth's Best Preferred Blogger program! 

Baby Wipes are one of the essentials when having child and if you are a parent, we all know that not all baby wipes are created equal! I recently posted about our experience with Earth's Best Chlorine Free Diapers and this month, we also had the opportunity to try Earth's Best Chlorine Free Baby Wipes to review as part as the Earth's Best Preferred Blogger program!           

Earth's Best Chlorine Free Baby Wipes are unscented and moistened with a gentle, natural lotion containing aloe vera and vitamin E. The hypoallergenic wipes have a super soft cloth like texture which is gentle enough for baby's delicate skin, hands and face. I received pop-up tubs which come in a 72-count but the wipes are also available in a pop-up tub refill, travel pack or TOTS Flushable Wipes.

Three things I've learned while using Shaklee 180 #ShakleeBlogger #Sponsored

I wrote this post as part of the Shaklee 180 Turnaround Blogger Program. Thank you Shaklee for providing me with Shaklee 180 products! 

In my Shaklee 180 Vlog this month, I talk about the three things I have learned since using Shaklee 180 which include making better choices for myself when it comes to food, how important a support system is, and not limiting myself when it comes to being active!

Falling off my weight-loss wagon #ShakleeBlogger

I wrote this post as part of the Shaklee 180 Turnaround Blogger Program. Thank you Shaklee for providing me with Shaklee 180 products! 

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little disappointed in myself this month. I haven't gained any weight (I actually lost a pound) but, I haven't been eating as well as I should have been. In my last Shaklee 180 vlog, I discussed that I wasn't getting enough calories in my diet. Once I got conformable eating more calories, I got a little too comfortable if you know what I mean. I went a little crazy and started eating things I wouldn't typically eat and wasn't keeping track of my calories. This month has also been full of barbeques and celebrations with a lot of opportunity for overeating.

With summer right around the corner, Like most, I will be attending plenty of barbeques! Instead of skipping the burgers totally, I will be holding the bun and cheese and topping with some of my favorite veggies. If chicken is an available option, I will probably be skipping the burger completely!

Earth's Best Chlorine Free Diapers {Review} #Sponsored

Thank you Earth's Best for providing me with Earth's Best Chlorine Free Diapers to review as part as the Earth's Best Preferred Blogger program! 

When you have and infant or toddler, diapers are a necessity (unless you use elimination communication). As and Earth's Best Preferred Blogger, I was recently provided with Earth's Best TenderCare Chlorine Free Diapers in a size 5. We had tried Earth's Best diapers in the past and had a great experience with them but we were mainly using cloth diapers at the time. This time around we are using disposable diapers most of the time because it's more convenient for our family.

Earth's Best Chlorine Free Disposable Diapers are available in newborn to size 6 sizes and are made from non-chlorine bleached materials and contain natural absorbant material such as corn and wheat. Earth's Best Diapers are made with fewer petro-chemicals. The diapers feature breathable sides, a moisture barrier cuff, refastenable tabs and are free of Latex, dye, and perfumes! The size 5 diapers come in a 26 count package and are for babies up to 27+ lbs.

Bet On Your Baby & Luvs #Coupon #Giveaway! #BetOnYourBaby

How well do you know your baby or toddler? Do you think you know them well enough to bet on it? Bet on Your Baby is a new show where parents play fun games with their toddlers and try to “bet” on what baby will do next! If they guess correctly, the family wins $5,000 in college tuition money and the chance to play for $50,000! Pretty cool, right?

All of these fun and hilarious games are played in a toy-filled room called the Baby Dome which in my opinion is quite fitting! You can check out the Bet on Your Baby Blog App below for some fun clips from the show! On the app you will also find the "Would You Survive The Baby Dome?" quiz which tests how well you know the behavior of babies!

Aruba: One Happy Island!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Aruba Tourism Authority for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I was a child, We had a family friend who would take a trip to Aruba at least once a year. When she would come home from her vacation, She would have some souvenirs for my sister, brother and I. She would also show us some photos from her trip of the gorgeous scenery and attractions. We would beg her to take us with her someday and now that I'm an adult, I'm looking forward to planning a trip to Aruba with my family in the future!

There are so many reasons I would love to visit Aruba! For one, The Beaches! As a Jersey Girl, the beach is in my blood but there is a huge difference between the beaches of NJ and the beaches in Aruba.Aruba’s beaches include wide shaded expanses, quiet retreats, and busy sunbathing and water sports meccas.Some of the many beach activities include swimming, snorkeling, kitesurfing, waterskiing, tubing, parasailing, banana-boating, and all kinds of wet ‘n wild adventures! Although beaches along the windward coast are in more secluded and undeveloped areas, They are home to magical coves carved out of limestone and inlets which are formed by the pounding of waves Pretty neat, right?

Check out the Bob Revolution SE Duallie! #BabyExtravaganza

Kim of Party of 5 recently received the Bob Revolution SE Duallie for the Baby Extravaganza Event which is being co-hosted by Momma T and Family, Rambles of a SAHM, My Four Littles and Party of 5! You can read about the stroller below!

As soon as I knew I was pregnant one of the first things that came to mind was, " oh no, I need a double jogger "! I know, that seems a tad crazy but it's true. I love our BOB Revolution SE and have gotten may awesome runs out of it. Olivia is the one who really likes to come with me for a run.

I figure since the new babe will be arriving either August or September having a double jogger is a great investment. It is recommended that you DO NOT jog/run with any child under 6 months of age. This gives me some time to adjust after surgery and have baby ready for the jogs.

DaddyScrubs Certified New Daddy Gift Set {Review & #Giveaway}

A huge thanks to DaddyScrubs for providing us with a Certified New Daddy Gift Set for review!

A few month's ago we found out my sister-in-law and brother-in-law were expecting their first child! Of course, My husband and I are very excited for them and with my husband being close to his brother, Mark, we wanted to give a gift to celebrate fatherhood! We recently had the absolute pleasure of reviewing the "What Daddy Bear Loves" & Daddy Bear set from DaddyScrubs so we couldn't wait to give Mark the Certified New Daddy Gift Set!

The Certified New Daddy Gift Set includes a new daddy t-shirt, a custom picture frame magnet, and a pen set with pocket protector and 4 pens! The t-shirt is available in sizes M, L, XL, or 2XL.

We presented Mark with the Certified New Daddy Gift Set at a family gathering. Everyone in the room at the time commented on what a nice set it was! Mark first tried on the shirt, size 2XL, which was pretty true to size. The 100% preshrunk cotton shirt was very breathable and comfortable, not stiff like some t-shirts can be. I think the shirt would be nice to wear in the delivery room, under a set of DaddyScrubs! It would also be a fun shirt for him to wear at my sister-in-law's baby shower. I actually liked the shirt so much that I went and purchased the 2011 version for my husband. I think I might give it to him as a Father's Day gift!

Happy Mother's Day From Monsters University! #MonstersU

Start your Mother's Day early with this new Mother's Day inspired video featuring Ms. Squibbles and the rest of the Monsters University characters below!

Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer—and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike’s plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, “Sulley” (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer.  The pair’s out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right. Screaming with laughter and oozing with heart, Disney•Pixar’s “Monsters University” is directed by Dan Scanlon (“Cars,” “Mater and the Ghostlight,” “Tracy”), produced by Kori Rae (“Up,” “The Incredibles,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and features music from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and award-winning composer Randy Newman  (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Toy Story 3”). The film opens in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2013, and will be shown in 3D in select theaters.

The Mombo #Nursing Pillow from @ComfortHarmony

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Comfort and Harmony for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I feel like a nursing pillow is essentianl when having a baby! Even though you might not necessarily use it for nursing, they make lounging comfortable for your little one. I had originally purchased a nursing pillow for just that, nursing but I ended up using the one we owned to sit on for comfort after delivering E and as E grew, we started using it as a lounger and infant positioner. 

I recently came across the mombo nursing pillow which has a unique shape and a two-sided design called Firm2Soft™ with each side offering a different experience for mom and baby. The firm side gives support for mom and her nursling while the soft side is super cozy and perfect for lounging or tummy time!

Did you know that the mombo is the only nursing pillow with a vibration feature? The vibration will create the ultimate soothing experience while lounging! I sure could have used this feature to help sooth and calm E when she was cranky or sleepy as a infant!

TabTor- The Tablet Tutors {#Giveaway}

Do you think your child might need tutoring in math? Maybe they just need to brush up on their skills? I was recently introduced to Tabtor, a tool for tutoring children in just that, math!

Tabtor provides a 15 minute parent/teacher conference every week along with weekly and daily reports on the students progress.

Shaklee 180 Month 2 Vlog! #ShakleeBlogger

I wrote this post as part of the Shaklee 180 Turnaround Blogger Program. Thank you Shaklee for providing me with Shaklee 180 products! 

As I mentioned in a previous post, I just finished my second month in my weight loss journey using Shaklee 180. In my video, I talk about my experience so far, how much I have lost, and how I felt that I wasn't getting enough calories. Check it out below! 

How I'm staying motivated in my weight loss journey #ShakleeBlogger

I wrote this post as part of the Shaklee 180 Turnaround Blogger Program. Thank you Shaklee for providing me with Shaklee 180 products! 

I just finished up my second month on the Shaklee 180 Turnaround program and happy to say that not only am I seeing results but I'm feeling great as well! 

There are plenty of factors that have motivated my weight loss. For one, my daughter and family. I want to live a healthier lifestyle in hopes that I will live longer. I also want to set a good example for my daughter. We all know most children are very impressionable so by taking the lead by eating halthier and being active, I'm encouraging my little one to do the same. I know as E's parent, I have a huge influence on her and I want it to be a positive one! 

How I feel after a workout also motivates me! I always feel AMAZING after taking a fitness class or using my gym's equipment. Basically any activity that makes me sweat, makes me feel great! I'm always feeling confident and accomplished when leaving the gym or doing something as simple as a long walk in the park.
