Sage Cloth Diaper Review and Giveaway


Cloth Diapers have pretty much became an obsession around the Crazy House since baby #4 arrived six months ago.  I love searching for new diapers and trying them and was extremely excited when I was contacted about trying a Sure Fit Pocket Diaper from Sage Diaper, formerly known as Diaperaps!
 

About the Diaper:

The innovative design gives you a "side snapping" Pocket Diaper which allows you to adjust the waist and legs separately to best fit your baby's unique shape. And with their exclusive Sure Fit pocket system, the diaper will stay in place no matter how active your baby is.


Their two sizes means that it will fit babies newborns to 10 months without being bulky and the Size 2 when fully opened is the largest size pocket on the market. Snap colors add pizzazz instead of just blending in. Super soft stay dry lining.




What we thought:

We put the diaper to the test and it passed with flying colors!  Our baby wore the diaper numerous times at night and during naptime and we never had any problem with leaking.  The inside is super soft on baby's bottom and the outside is simply adorable!!  I love how many options are available with the snaps so we get a snug fit without being too tight. I also LOVE the snaps on the inside where I can snap the liner so it stays put instead of moving all around!! 










GIVEAWAY

One lucky Crazy House Reader is going to win a Sage Cloth Diaper!!!

Tumzee Review and Giveaway


 Every parent knows that a baby needs Tummy time to develop muscles and fine and gross motor skills. Sadly, however, every baby does not enjoy tummy time. Our baby has hated being on his belly since he was born so tummy time quickly turned into fussy time at our house.  Now with the "Back to Sleep" movement, babies get less tummy time than ever before which makes it even more important for parents to carve out time during their day especially for this type of play. Thankfully, there is a new product on the market that is helping babies enjoy tummy time a little more called  Tumzee!




Tumzee is an amazing baby product that helps make your baby's tummy time a happy time!
Made from non-toxic EVA foam, Tumzee is a great way to encourage tummy time without making your baby uncomfortable or frustrated!  The unique design makes it impossible for your baby to roll or slide out of and encourages baby to explore the surrounding area and play with toys all while developing neck and back muscles! 

More about Tumzee:

TUMZEE has been designed for babies, from birth to crawling age. The unique design enables babies to be propped up on their stomachs on an incline, which helps reduce the frustration babies incur during this learning experience. Once babies are able to roll over they do not spend any time on their tummies anymore and TUMZEE allows them to spend time on their stomach without rolling over or getting out of it. It also has a "T" support which will keep them from sliding down. Since they are propped up they are able to see the surrounding environment and play with toys developing neck and back muscles as well.





What we think:

Our baby loves Tumzee! We are able to get his 30 minutes of tummy time in every day without him crying and being uncomfortable. Generally when we lay him on his belly he immediately rolls over to his back and with Tumzee, he can't do that so we know he is getting plenty of quality tummy time to help him develop essential skills he needs! Love it!

Giveaway

One lucky Crazy House reader is going to win a Tumzee of their own!

*Please leave a comment for each thing that you do for entry to count. I have been changing the entry options up seeing what works best so be sure to double check what they are as they might be different from some of the other giveaways here you have entered*

Designed to wear alone or to layer for a customized look, Alex and Ani's patented Expandable Wire Bangle is the most innovative concept in jewelry, allowing the wearer, with the slide of a hand, to adjust the bangle for a perfect fit.

What I think:

I am absolutely in love with this bracelet!  It goes with so many outfits in my wardrobe whether I want to go with a casual or a more dressed up look!  I have gotten so many compliments on how simple yet unique and wonderful this piece is! I also love that it works wonderful alone or layered with other jewelry! I love the design and I really love that it's made right here in the U.S.A.

I also love this Heart Bangle Bracelet from Alex and Ani!

Bistro MD Review & 5 Day Home Delivery Giveaway!


Never in history has obesity been more of a problem. Among contributing factors is the fact that we live in such a fast paced world that many people simply don't take the time to plan healthy menu options because we want everything fast and convenient. I personally have tried some of the different meals that are targeted to help people lose weight but quite honestly, many of those meals left a bad taste in my mouth....literally!!!  So what if I told you that you could receive restaurant quality meals, delivered to your door, that are not only healthy but also delicious?

We were recently sent a 5 day meal plan (plus snacks!) from Bistro MD and we were pleasantly surprised by the great selection of foods that were included and even more surprised by the great taste! Most frozen meals are not very appealing but with Bistro MD, that was not the case!  We received great meals that were cooked fresh and then sent frozen right to our door! It's no wonder that Dr. Phil calls Bistro MD the best Diet Home Delivery Food available!






We received great entrees like Broccoli and Beef, Roasted Salmon, Moroccan Chicken, Vegetable Chili, Thai Peanut Chicken, Chicken Mushroom Crepe, Stuffed French Toast, Turkey with Cranberry Quinoa, Chicken Breast and Spinach, Spinach Mushroom Crepe, Picadillo, Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin, and Chicken and Greek Lentils!!

We also received a variety of yummy snacks and drinks!!  From the entrees we have tried, my favorite is the Vegetable Chili! It came with a side of something called Native American Style Corn Pudding which I never would imagine I would even try, let alone like, but it was delicious!!  My husband's favorite was the Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin!

When the meals arrive from Bistro MD, they come completely frozen in dry ice. They are each inside a cardboard tray sleeve to prevent breakage. The snacks were in a top portion of the box so they arrived fresh and ready to eat, not frozen like the entrees. 

Bistro MD takes into account all allergies and religious and dietery preferences for their customers and truly work with you to create meals that you will enjoy! If you are looking for a home delivery program that will give you healthy, delicious food, check out Bistro MD!!!

Bistro MD is a leader in gourmet diet food delivery offering home delivery of physician designed, chef prepared meals as well as free dietician support to help customers reach their goals. Headquartered in Southwest Florida, Bistro MD has been recognized on national television shows such as Dr. Phil and news outlets including The New York Times!!!

GIVEAWAY:

One super lucky Crazy House reader is going to win a 5 day plan with snacks, valued at $144.95 + $24.95 Shipping!!!
