Item Reviewed: Sesame Street Deluxe Package

At IncrediBundles.com, we decided that the traditional baby gift-basket needed a drastic revision in order to truly meet the needs of new parents and babies. So we threw out the wicker basket, cellophane and paper shred and discarded the generic baby care products. In their place, we designed adorably chic reusable storage containers and filled them with the very best award-winning toys, books and products for babies – selected by experts and approved by parents. The result is our innovative line of IncrediBundles, each designed to address a specific area of an infant’s development.

Sesame Street Bundle – Deluxe

Give the gift of learning, laughter and music with our Deluxe Sesame Street Bundle.   The products in this Bundle teach letters, numbers and important life skills in the fun and loving way that only  Sesame Street can.  The characters we have all grown to love are here to sing, dance and teach their way into your young recipient’s heart.

This Bundle includes:

• Elmo plush by GUND – Everyone’s favorite Sesame Street character sized just right for little arms to cuddle!

• Ernie plush by GUND – His optimism and enthusiasm make him beloved by parents and children alike!

My Thoughts

IncrediBundles is an amazing company that has the best bundled items to choose from for your little one, everything from diapers to books. The one that caught my eye for my little girl was the Sesame Street bundle, filled with everything that she loves about the show. And it arrived in the cutest packaging I have seen in a long time. The box is actually being used as a little toy chest for my daughter now. There are even three different packages to choose from; Standard, Deluxe and Premium.

She loves everything that came in her special package. The CD is one of the most played CDs at the moment and she loves to sing along with all the songs. The stuffed animals never leave her side and are tucked into bed with her every night. She really loves Sesame Street and I am so pleased with the assortment that she received.

Thank you IncrdeiBundles.com for my Sesame Street toys!

Item Reviewed: Baby Wash/Shampoo & Baby Spray Lotion
Item Given Away: Baby Wash/Shampoo & Baby Spray Lotion – 3 Winners!!!
Start Date: May 21
End Date: June 4

LifeLogic a division of SECCO Technologies was founded in 1958 as a national chemical engineering and manufacturing firm. Our resident PhDs and chemists have expertise in biochemistry, organic chemistry, polymer science, and engineering. We have had the pleasure over the years of serving numerous Fortune 1000 companies such as DuPont, 3M, Rohm & Haas, Hercules, numerous hospital systems, as well as our grocery and drug store chains now numbering over 4000 locations across the country.

Looking for safe baby products? We don’t mean just a little safe like the “big guys”. We mean really safe like no triclosan, no paraben, no carcinogens, no synthetic processes, no fragrances, and no dyes! How is that for a baby product? You don’t see the largest baby shampoo maker in the world making those claims! …. LifeLogic’s all natural, hypoallergenic baby wash and shampoo.

Unique Foaming Bottle – Don’t let our unique upside down foaming bottle scare you. We carefully designed our washes with the help of one of the biggest package design companies in the world, Rexham-AirSpray, to provide a rich ready to use foam that is truly one of a kind. The EZi foamer is a foam bursting wonder. It creates indulging, cleansing, instant-foam in the bath. No drips. No leaks. Single-handed operation designed to empty the bottle completely.

My Thoughts

In this day and age where there are so many things that we have to be careful with when using around our children I am happy to have had the chance to try out LifeLogic products. Not only are the safe for your baby’s tender skin but the foaming spray makes it so easy to dispense, especially when dealing with a wet, slippery baby. When I used this product on my toddler she loved the scent, a nice and clean smell, and she laughed when she saw my squirt the foam into my hand. I even let her try to wash her own hair, and she did a good job, something I don’t think she could have done without making a mess with a liquid soap. The products did good getting her clean and I enjoyed using them. I recommend them to everyone.

I have been given the opportunity, thanks to LifeLogic, to host a giveaway of a bottle of Baby Wash/Shampoo and a bottle of Spray Lotion to 3 lucky Dirty Shirt readers. Please see rules below to enter to win today.

All NUK products meet and exceed all U.S. and international safety standards and are BPA free.

My Thoughts

As my last daughter matures into full blown toddlerhood she has developed a “I want to do it on my own” attitude and I am so thankful that I have NUK products to help her along the way. She has her favorite sippy cup and loves to be able to graduate from the beginning sippies and now she wants no lid, which is a way off but she loves the NUK sippy that she is using now.

As for her eating her own cereal and soups she loves her NUK Silicone Soft Bite Spoon, especially when she eats her little root beer floats, it is the perfect length for her to get to her little scoop of ice cream. I love that it bends when she pushes it against food which actually helps her eat better.

I have used many NUK products over the years with my three children, they are a brand I trust and I recommend them to everyone.

We are simple people. We love function. And we aspire to be super cute. This is our mindset, our approach, and our goal. We observe what parents are doing on an everyday basis and swoop in to create a solution. BabbaCo products combine high function and high design. We are parents like you. We created products that made our lives easier and designed them to still feel “cool.” If someone asked us to describe ourselves in 4 words or less, that would be our answer.

You want to go for a walk, go to the beach, or enjoy a picnic, but you’re worried about your little one getting sunburn! What do you do? Stay inside all day? Absolutely not! BabbaCo created a very lightweight, airy solution that actually has a layer of SPF and UV protection 40-50+ fabric. Go out and enjoy the sun knowing that we added a layer of true protection…and super cuteness!

• Doctors recommend not putting sunscreen on infants younger than 6 months – Airy Cotton BabbaCover is a perfect solution!
• Fits ALL standard infant car seat carriers!
• Made in the USA

Functional – learn more about the key features

• Lined with SPF and UVF 40-50+ protected fabric
• Mosquito netting sides for complete air circulation and clear view
• Elastic around the whole carrier to keep the bugs out and create a sure fit
• For easy access to baby, simply roll/lift up the front half and hang over the handle
• Hole for the handle for a sure grip on the carrier!
• Machine Washable gentle cycle. Hang dry.
• Materials: 100% cotton, SPF 50+ Solarweave cotton, polyester mosquito netting

My Thoughts

What a wonderful creation! I wish these were around when my kids were in their baby seats. I would always throw a towel over the top of their seat to keep the sun out but then of course I would worry that they weren’t getting enough air, or were too hot. You don’t have to worry about that with the BabbaCover Car seat cover!

And this is only one of the designs from the Airy Cotton collection, which is wonderful for Florida. But they also have a Snuggle Fleece and Everyday Flannel line for those times when it gets colder than summer time temperatures. I really recommend these stylish, colorful and functional BabbaCo Car Seat covers to everyone. They would make a great gift for a baby shower or for Christmas!

Besides the BabbaCovers, BabbaCo also offers BabbaThreads and BabbaBurpies. And I have been given the opportunity to host a giveaway of a BabbaBurpie to one Dirty Shirt reader, winners choice. Please see rules below to enter today.

It’s funny how such a simple thing can lead to so much. It all began with a messy toddler bathtub. Designer Rebecca Finell’s wheels started turning and the Frog Pod was born.

But the problem solving didn’t stop there. She had lots of ideas for other parenting innovations so she sought out a partner, Ryan Fernandez—who could create a successful business—and together they founded Boon Inc. Today Boon offers a wide range of products that help parents all over the world.

We’re committed to creating nothing but the most innovative gear—and keeping it affordable. Our design studio is always in motion, tackling one parenting challenge after another. And don’t forget our commitment to quality and safety. Call us if you have any questions. We want you to be thrilled with our products! Plus, we like hearing from you.

Boon is by far one of the best companies that I have had the privilege of using their products. This company is so in tune with parents and their wants for children’s toy, organizers and feeding product. From Highchairs and Potty Benches to Bath Toys and Animal Bags this company has it all. And everything is well made and put together. And this review is for the Bug Pod but I wanted to let my readers know that the Potty Bench is awesome! My toddler loves hers and it is really helping her learn how to potty

The Bug Pod is the newest member of the Boon family, born from the Frog Pod idea. This bath toy scoop, drain and storage product is one of the best I own, thanks to Boon. My toddler loves the “buggie” that stay with her in the bathtub, and actually enjoys cleaning up the tub after her bath and gladly runs the scoop across the water to pck up all her toys. I love the convenience of having everything all in one place. No more am I searching for her little pouf or her baby wash. My toddler and I love the Boon Bug Pod!

And in keeping with the Dirty Shirt trend the wonderful people at Boon have offered me the chance to giveaway one Boon Bug Pod to one lucky Dirty Shirt reader. See rules below to win one for yourself…
