Spotlight Saturday: Yes to Carrots
Posted by: | Comments
My new favorite products these days are from the Yes to Carrots line. I have been searching for a company that had a good line of green products that hadn’t been bought up by a bigger corporation yet (like Burt’s Bees). So a few months ago I cam upon the Yes to Carrots company. I personally really like the Yes to Cucumbers line for my sensitive skin, but they have a lot of great stuff. And recently they launched their baby line as well, so I am looking forward to trying some of those products as well.
Right now they are holding a sweepstakes on their Facebook page and giving away 5 kit to host a girls’ night (I am assuming men can still enter if that want too).
Spotlight Saturday: Lovey Duds
Posted by: | Comments
One of my favorite baby products that I discovered when Naomi was a baby was my Lovey Dud Baby Wrap. I know there are a lot of similar products out there on the market, so this is just one that I use and has worked well for me. The wrap is easy to use, made of organic cotton, is reasonably priced and comes in a large variety of nice prints. You can carry your baby in a variety of holds with it and it is sturdy enough to hold a child up to 35 pounds. I was a little intimidated at first to try using a wrap, but it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Plus it comes with a nice instructional DVD to walk you through how to put it on!
I have also tried the traditional baby carrier (but stopped using it when the concerns about the baby’s hip joints was brought into play), a pouch sling and a ring sling, but none of them worked quiet as well for me as a baby wrap. I love that when we are traveling I can just stuff it in my back pack to use and it doesn’t take up a lot of space or weight. I have already used it a lot with Isaiah and often prefer it to using a stroller when we are out.
I know almost every mommy has a favorite carrier. What would you recommend?
New Sovereign Grace Music Kids’ CD
Posted by: | Comments
We love Sovereign Grace Music in our home. The children’s music might be the most played though. So I was very excited to see that there is a new album out called Walking with the Wise, which is based upon the book of Proverbs. You can preview the songs at their website and also download one of the songs free called Lazy Bones. It looks like another hit along with their past children’s albums, Awesome God (only $6) and To Be Like Jesus. Any album can be purchased as a CD or downloaded as an MP3 album.
