This camera was so easy to set up and I loved the fact that I could use my smartphone or tablet to monitor easily even away from home.  Great camera for baby, child or even your pet.  The music feature is sweet and I love the shape and style and that you can interchange the pink and blue rings.  The temperature feature is really nice and can alert you to sudden shifts in heating or cooling.  All around a great choice for a high quality baby/child camera monitor.

nui organics

Kids want to be comfortable in their clothes.  Naturally, active kids want to be able to twist, turn, wiggle and jump without feeling constricted.  

Nui Organics loves producing quality clothing for children using only the world’s purest merino wools and cottons. No harsh chemicals for our children, or our planet. Everything is manufactured in a socially and environmentally responsible way.

I recently had the chance to try some of Nui Organics clothing with my son.  I chose the Kavi Shorts in ocean stripe and the Vic, 3/4 Sleeve Top in ocean whale.

My son loved them and immediately started jumping around because they were so comfy and that worked to my disadvantage when trying to snap a picture of him with the outfit.

It did show me that they are an excellent children’s clothing choice that feels great and looks great and to kids, comfort trumps most anything.  Lots of easy to mix and match pieces are available for boys and girls.

Choopie CityHooks and CityGrips Stroller Accessories Review & Giveaway!!! 3 Winners!!!

choopie logo

Although spring started about 2 weeks ago, we still haven’t seen it for more than a fleeting day in New York.  With April starting in about 24 hours, I am taking comfort in knowing that it has to arrive sooner or later.  I truly hope it’s sooner because I love to walk in the spring.

If you like to walk and enjoy taking your little ones along in a stroller you have probably found that you just cannot remove the handlebar cover that comes permanently attached to your stroller to wash it.  Considering we are touching it all the time, it’s easy to get soiled, sweaty and worn.  CityGrips are neat little covers to put over the stroller handlebar from Choopie that add function and flair.  CityGrips attach securely with velcro and remove just as easy so you can machine wash and dry them when necessary, that really appeals to the germaphobe in me.

citygrips-double-bar

City Grips are available in great colors, prints and patterns and 2 styles for double or single handlebars.  I found it super easy to attach the black polka dot print which is one of the new designs for 2014, to my Stokke Scoot handlebar.  I like that I can just take them off and throw them in the washer to keep the handlebar much more sanitary.  An added benefit is that it really makes the otherwise black handlebar look sharp and stylish.

Another important accessory that I must have, is some type of hook or hooks so that I can attach bags, diaper bags, my purse and more easily to my stroller.  Choopie has great hooks called CityHooks and they attach quickly, easily and securely to the handlebar of any stroller, wheelchair, car seat and more with snug fitting velcro straps.  The hooks swivel a full 350 degrees and the open hook design make it easy to slip bags on and off.  I love that with these hooks we are ready for all the little extras we need to tote on outings and they’re perfect for shopping to hold bags.

Green Toys™ Flatbed Truck & Race Car Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

 

Recently, I was sent a Green Toys Flatbed Truck & Race Car to review.  For those of you who are not familiar with Green Toys, their toys are made out of recycled milk jugs and are made in the USA.  You can read about the interesting process on their website by clicking here.  Green Toys has a variety of toys and even tableware.

The first thing I can see is that this is a very durable toy, that is made to withstand rough and tumble play.  I explained to my four year old how the truck is made out of the milk jugs we recycle.  That was really cool for him to hear.  My 2 and 4 year old both loved the truck and race car.  The flatbed on the truck can be raised and lowered and the little race car even has a little outlet on it to show it really is a green car.  The toys are made with  no BPA, PVC, phthalates, or external coatings.  This truck and car can be easily rinsed if it gets sandy or dirty as little boys love to play hard with their cars and trucks.  Nothing to get rusty or any sharp edges to hurt little ones.  This is not only a fun toy but it is such a great company to manufacture toys this way for the children that are our future.

Green Toys is so generous to sponsor a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own Green Toys Flatbed Truck & Race Car.  Thank you Green Toys for the review toy and for sponsoring this great give-away!!!
