Car Seat Canopy Blanket by Snappy Swagger

     As a mom, I have become very specific with the make and quality of products. Let's just say that motherhood has brought out my "Quality Analyst" instinct. I am very particular with the products I give to my baby. And I like to share my thoughts about it - be it on my blog, my personal social media posts or a third party website.

     Yesterday was mail day for me. I finally got my orders from Amazon. I got a box of potty training diapers and the Car Seat Canopy Blanket by Snappy Swagger.


    The Car Seat Canopy Blanket comes with 3 Bandana Drool Bibs for only $27.99. When I was pregnant, I made a lot of baby stuff. One of them was my very own carseat canopy (with a little help from YouTube). I had a lot of free time so I even crochet some cute baby hats! Haha. Anyway, I got the Snappy Swagger baby car seat canopy for gifting to another mommy-to-be friend of mine. She doesn't know the gender yet so the color is gender neutral. Perfect, right?! I can't wait for her baby shower! The Snappy Swagger baby car seat canopy and bandana bib set is definitely a perfect baby shower gift!




     I love the minky fabric! And I know it's quite hard to sew it on so I'd rather buy it. The best  thing about it is the free bandana bibs! I've seen a lot of these on Instagram from fellow mommies but the prices are just outrageous! So anyway, I'm keeping the bibs for my little one. They are very soft and absorbent! I guess we will use it mostly because it looks stylish.



     My little one, shes' two and she doesn't really use a bib (like when eating) anymore. The bib doesn't have velcro. I hate velcro! They're hazardous! It's not cool when they scratch a baby's skin. That's why I like the snap closure of these bibs. It has two so it has room for growth!

Babyolas Bath Time Organizer

     As a mom, my daily routine includes cleaning, organizing and cleaning. Having a toddler means clutter everywhere and toys everywhere. Even bath toys! Sometimes I find a rubber duckie under the couch?!!!

     That is why I was so relieved and happy when I got approved to test and review the Babyolas Bath Time Organizer. Keeps all the bath toys in one place! Making it organized and ready for next use. 



     The bag is made of a mesh so the excess water form the toys can drip off and dry out after some time. The suction cups can be attached to tiles or glass. I attached ours to the tiles and made sure that it's not within my child's reach. Otherwise, all my efforts to organize becomes a big fail. It also comes with 2 strong suction cups for hanging wash cloths or other toys that can be hung. What my daughter really loves about this product is the free squeaky toys! There is a tiny rubber duckie and a blue penguin. They're so tiny and cute!



     I almost gave this product a bad rating because it kept falling!!! I thought it was because my tiles were not that clean? But I just cleaned it that day. Or maybe it's too heavy? I took out everything and it still fell off! And just as I was about to message the seller, they sent me an email regarding tips on how to use the bath time organizer! and I learned that you have to put petroleum jelly on the suction cups to keep them intact with the tiles! What a relief!

    I have purchased this product almost 2 months ago. We're still using and loving it! Whether or not you have a toddler with a hundred bath toys or not, you definitely need this product in your shower!

     Check out the product on Amazon and get yours today!

Reusable Soft Silicone Bib by Baby Go-Green

     When my daughter was less than a year old, she used the cloth bibs. Overtime, she outgrew them. Some of them were too tight on the neck... others were too soiled that I don't even want to see them anymore! Sometimes, she would yank them off and refuses to use bibs at all. We always end up with dirty clothes after meal time. Some food leave a permanent stain on her shirt which makes me think of buying new bibs again.

     We also used the laminated bibs with food catcher. That kind of bib is also a thumbs up for me. And a double thumbs up for the Soft Silicone Bib by Baby Go-Green! These soft reusable silicone bibs are very convenient to use. My daughter likes it too and she doesn't even take it off like what she does with her regular cloth bibs. The snap closures are adjustable and they are super soft! They are also easy to clean. I just use wipes to wipe them down then store them back into the diaper bag. It comes in a pack of 2 so I leave the other one at home. The food catcher feature is very efficient as was made in such a way that it's ready to catch crumbs. I give this bib a 5-star rating!

Baby Carrier by OZN Commerce

     My little one is turning 2 this month and we've been through 2 baby carriers. Both of them are the SSC (soft structured carrier) kind. I like those kind because you just buckle them up, adjust and you're good to go!

     I have seen the Mei Tai kind of baby carriers before but only in Pinterest and DIY blogs. So this is actually my first time to get my hands on a Mei Tai baby carrier and I just love it! Here are some of the features that I love about the OZN Commerce Baby Carrier.

    First, I fell in love right away with its delicate embroidery feature. It sort of reminds me of Anna's dress (from the movie "Frozen"). Don't you think so too? 


     The straps that rest on my shoulder area are padded for comfort. Same with the top area where the baby's head is. That way it can wrap around your little one without being too snug.


     
     I can sew and I am very keen when it comes to sewing and sewn products. I must say, this baby carrier is very well made and I just love the details!
It has a pictured instruction manual for easy use.
    





     It does take some practice to use this baby carrier. Just keep practicing and there are also YouTube video tutorials that will show you how to use this kind of carrier. Baby can be worn on the front or back like our photos.  My little one and I love our new baby carrier! She thinks we are just playing around doing some "horsie, horsie" ride. After I took it off, she cried! She said, "More, more!" Hahaha. She loves horseback rides that's why. 

     Check out the product on Amazon and get one for you and your baby!

Travel Diaper Changing Kit by Beabies

     For a newbie mom like me, it is always important to keep my baby safe and healthy. Some restaurants don't have a diaper changing area so sometimes, I change my little one in the car and I just use a changing pad. There is nothing worse than traveling and having to deal with dirty diapers! I won't even go into the gore details. 


     Most diaper bags come with a free diaper changing pad but you can never really have enough of these! I have one in both our cars and I keep the Travel Diaper Changing Kit by Beabies in our diaper bag to school! It has a regular changing pad section and netted pouches to fit 3-4 diapers and a space for the free wipes dispenser clutch that comes with it. 


     It has a removable zipper for the netted pouch part so it can be taken out when necessary. I like this changing pad because it's easy to use and clean. It also has a strap so I can just fold it and put it back in my diaper bag. 


    
     I can also take out the diaper wipes clutch and just hang it on the stroller so I can easily get some wipes for those little messes.

Bag Nation Diaper Bag Backpack

     My family and I celebrated Veteran's Day by spending the whole day together and going on a hike. I had to carry my 25-pound baby on my back and it was a success! It is our second time going to Crystal Cove. This time we took a different route. 


     After our hiking adventure and photo ops on top of the hill, we went down to the beach. I brought along my baby's stuff and had a chance to take photos of my new Bag Nation Diaper Bag Backpack. Actually, this is going to be my husband's new diaper bag. He thought it was a "normal" bag. He was surprised to learn that it's actually a diaper bag. He's probably tired of carrying around our girly diaper bag. He said he didn't mind but this diaper bag is perfect for him!

The Auben Diaper Bag

     My little one is almost two... A lot of new milestones for her this year. She has been talking a lot these days. What is amazing is I can actually understand what she is saying. She is very good at saying, "I'm sorry, mommy!" She knows exactly what to say when she does something wrong. She also loves to sing and dance. She has learned a lot at home with our nursery rhymes from YouTube. I recently enrolled in Parenting Classes with a toddler. Of course, it's better than YouTube because she interacts with other kids her age. She has been learning to share (something that we are still trying to work on). She also learned new songs in class. We have classes on Wednesdays to Fridays. Our diaper bag worked hard this year. Yes. It's time to change it! 

     It's only Tuesday, so no school today. Tuesday is library outside play for us (as we were late for story time...) Today was sunny but not as hot. I can say it's finally starting to feel like fall in SoCal! So we're out with our new Auben Diaper Bag on this perfect weather!



     The Auben Diaper Bag is lightweight and has a lot of room for everything I need. I used to bring a lot of stuff and put all the things that I think my little one needs. Nowadays, I just bring what she really needs. Here's a preview of what's in the bag!


Baby's and mommy's drink.

Diapers and extra clothes... Just in case.

It has a lot of room inside. A lot of pockets for everything!
     The Auben Diaper Bag comes with an insulated bottle holder and a diaper changing pad. I store the changing pad in the big, front, zippered pocket so I can easily take it out. I also bring our own crayons and coloring pages. Not all restaurants have these for kids. Otherwise, me and my husband won't be able to eat our meal properly. Our last resort would be YouTube again. For distraction. And yes! There's also room for my water!


With the changing pad peeking out,


With the inner straps for hanging on the stroller.

Crayons. My BFF.
More pockets for my card holder and my LO's grooming stuff!

"Teddy bear, teddy bear turn around..."   

Sunscreen and diaper rash cream on the other side pocket! 

The little back pockets are perfect for my coupons!


     It has an adjustable strap with padding and some extra inner straps for attachment to the stroller. I prefer hanging it on the stroller just with the regular straps though (as shown in the first photo). It is stylish and it has everything I need. What more can I ask for? This diaper bag is just perfect for me!

     Check Amazon if you want to purchase the Auben Diaper Bag.
