Mommy Parties Pregnancy 2.0

I can't begin to tell you how lucky I was to be chosen to participate in Mommy Parties sponsored by Pregnancy 2.0. I just had my third baby a short 8 months ago and with each child it was a brand new experience. Even though my kids are close in age there was always the newest product, gadget or toy with each one of them. One of the great parts of the Pregnancy 2.0 review was that there were product brands I already knew and loved as well as new ones I've learned about and love.

My review products included:

Baby Plus PreNatal Educational System

Britax Baby Carrier and Seat Extender Insert

Britax B-Agile Stroller

Britax B-Safe Infant Car Seat

Rashti & Rashti Snuggle Buddies

Kid's Spry Products

Diaper Bag

So I invited several of my new and expecting mommy friends over for a little brunch and fun. I brought out all of the products for everyone to try out. There was a lot of 'ooooohhhh' and 'ahhhhh-ing'. One of my favorite products is the Britax B-Agile Stroller. I've been through several styles and brands of strollers over the past few years and I can honestly say this is definitely my favorite one I've owned! I loved how lightweight this stroller is at only 16.5 lbs. I can easily pick it up and put it in the back of my SUV with one hand. The seat reclines all the way down so Baby M can easily nap in it. Like most strollers the basket underneath isn't huge but it's open on all sides and not blocked by a bar or anything so it can hold larger bags. There is also an additional large zippered pocket attached to the back. The stroller maneuvers around smoothly which has helped a lot when L wants to be held while I'm pushing Baby M around. It also comes with a large canopy to block the sun. My biggest con would be no cup holders. But I think that's a con with many strollers. Cup holders are usually an additional cost.

The Britax Baby Carrier had something I hadn't seen before...a seat extender insert. This is used with the Britax Baby Carrier once the infant insert is not longer needed. It allows growing children to sit comfortably in the carrier facing inward which is a natural position rather than facing outward. Baby M is a total snuggler so he loves this position! Another favorite perk about this baby carrier is that it includes a burp cloth cover! I loved this because my old carrier never had one and all my babies love to suck and chew on the edge of the dirty carrier. This removable burp cloth makes it easy to wash over and over again.

BabyPlus sent a Prenatal Education System. I've always heard playing music for baby in the womb is supposed to help make them smarter but I hadn't heard of an actual prenatal education system before. "BabyPlus is designed to strengthen your baby's development with patented, scientifically designed audio lessons". BabyPlus parents have reported their babies at birth and infancy more readily nurse, have an increased ability to self-soothe, are more active and responsive and are more relaxed and alert at birth. I picked a name out of a hat and my sweet friend Sarah won the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System. She's due with baby number 3 early next year!

Rashti & Rashti makes a line of Snuggle Buddies that are just adorable! They are a security blanket and toy all in one. Each toy is a cute animal, monster, or doll. The body is a soft snugly blanket. Snuggle Buddies are small enough for baby to take anywhere. There is also a rattle that adds to baby's stimulation. Look at how cute Baby C was with her Snuggle Buddy.

The party continued at home as each guest received a fun goody bag filled with products from Spry including their gum, saline nasal spray with xylitol, tooth gel and coupons. There was also information, coupons and discounts from BabyPlus and Britax

I just want to say a big thank you to Mommy Parties sponsored by Pregnancy 2.0 and all of the companies who participated.

I received these products free of charge for review on my blog. All views and opinions are my own and were not influenced in any way.

Green Giant Fresh Steamers Review & GIVEAWAY

When coming up with dinner ideas I usually get stumped with matching side dishes. I always make sure to have at least one vegetable with every dinner. If my kids could have it their way, they would be on a pasta diet. Pasta is the one thing I can always get my kids to eat no matter what.

Green Giant is introducing a few new pasta and vegetables in savory sauce to their line of Fresh Steamers. I'm already a fan of their Fresh Steamers so I was excited to hear about their news.

New Valley Fresh Steamers Vegetables with Pasta varieties include:

Macaroni and Cheese Sauce with Broccoli - classic elbow pasta and broccoli in a mouth watering cheese sauce

Pasta and Vegetables with Alfredo Sauce - delicious corkscrew pasta with carrots and broccoli in a savory Alfredo sauce

I received a fun prize pack to try out Green Giant's new line.


Any mother knows how much kids love mac & cheese so the Mac & Cheese with Broccoli was my pick. I love how convenient these dishes are. Just pop the whole bag in the microwave and you're done! The pasta was done just right, not mushy at all. The broccoli was tender, just the way we like it. The creamy cheese sauce was the perfect amount to cover everything. The best part of all...my kids loved it!

Do you want to WIN your own prize pack just like mine?? It will include 2 Green Giant placemats, 1 Broccoli stress reliever, 32 oz. serving bowl, surprise face serving spoon and a coupon for 1 free package of Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers.

Mighty Tea Leaf Review & GIVEAWAY

Iced tea is one of my favorite drinks so I was excited to have a chance to review a variety of iced tea flavors from Mighty Leaf tea.

Mighty Leaf Tea is pleased to launch its new and all natural Mighty Leaf® Iced Teas. Containing hand-blended, whole-leaf teas, luscious fruits, and aromatic herbs, Mighty Leaf’s eco-friendly Iced Tea Pouches brew half-gallon pitchers of thirst-quenching iced tea in minutes.

I received their Organic Black, Calypso Mango, Sunburst Green Tea, Ginger Peach and a several sample packs. The names alone sound so refreshing! The teas were so easy to make. Add a tea pouch to a pitcher with 32 oz of water and seep for a few minutes and then add ice. I happen to have an ice tea maker so I just popped in a tea pouch and walked away. The Sunburst Green Tea was my favorite, so light and refreshing. I really liked how each flavor is labeled Caffeine, Light Caffeine and Caffeine Free. It makes it easy to know what tea not to drink after 7pm so I'm not up all night staring at the ceiling ha!
