Solaroo-blueI received two Solaroo UV blocking suits last summer and failed to write the review and now I can't find the photographs of the kids wearing the suits to post in this review.  Anyway.. I am giving you the heads up now that Solaroo's UV blocking sun clothing is a must have this coming spring and summer. 

Both of my kids loved their suits last summer.  Sebastian felt cool in his surfer style blue shirt and Madelyn looked adorable in her pretty pink one piece suit.Solaroo-pink

My kids were outside a lot last spring and summer and Sebastian wore his Solaroo shirt when playing with his friends outside and helping me in the garden.  I am paranoid about sunburn and UV damage and love knowing that the kids Solaroo UV blocking sun clothes protect them from UV rays and I never forget to cover the rest of their bodies with super spf sunscreen.  It's not worth it to skip the sunscreen or UV blocking clothes if you have them!  I just wish I had a Solaroo shirt and Extreme Performance Hat
for when I'm out in the yard or playing with the kids.

Solaroo UV blocking sun clothing is lightweight, dries quickly, and keep 98% of the UV rays out.  Available in kids sizes 0 months to 8 years, womens sizes up to 18 and mens sizes up to XX-Large with varying prices.

invisibelt: get rid of belt buckle bump + giveaway

Clothes - mom & dad, , , ,
All belt, no bulk.  That's the tag line for invisibelt and it's absolutely true.  If you wear belts, there is a good chance that the invisibelt will replace your favorite belts.  Don't you hate the bump that appears under your shirt from the belt buckle?  I do.  It kind of takes away from the purpose of the belt.  Why wear a belt with a bulky buckle that makes your shirt look funny when you can wear a belt that is flat and smooth and won't give your tummy that weird bump traditional belts do.

Invisibelt

The invisibelt is adjustable like a bra, comes regular size fitting sizes 0-14 and plus size fitting up to 4x and is available in clear and noir (black).  See the invisibelt in action here.

Honey Buns Boutique is truly an exceptional shop.  Stepping away from frilly dresses (not that we don’t like frilly) and high prices, Honey Buns Boutique brings simple, and affordable, back.   The designs were created by a mom with a super handsome 6 month old son so you can rest assure that she knows what moms want in both style and durability.

You will find a variety of cute and sassy shirts, onesies, and accessories for mommies, babies, toddlers, and children up to size 16 at Honey Buns Boutique and best of all, Honey Buns clothes are exclusive – you won’t find their designs anywhere else! How cool is that? 

I love the Bubbles mommy tees and the Sugar & Spice tote bag. The simplicity of these designs is refreshing.

Hanging Cosmetic Bag by Flee

Beauty & Skin Care, Clothes - mom & dad, Fun stuff for parents, Organization, Travel

Flee_cosmetics_bag1This is one of my all time favorite Mommy Gear items. Seriously. I can’t emphasize that enough.

Before I even opened my Flee Hanging Cosmetic Bag, I fell in love with the look of it. The oilcloth pattern is full of personality and because oilcloth is easy to wipe clean, I knew this cosmetic bag would be something I would use everyday.

The cosmetic bag has five pockets. The top pocket holds my lipstick, powder, liners, and other long items. The second pocket is great for toothpaste, make-up, first aid ointment, trial size shampoo and conditioner and the third pocket holds regular size lotions, face wash, and deodorant among other larger items. The bottom pocket is what I call the "secret" pocket. It holds my feminine care products.

The Flee Hanging Cosmetic Bag is great for moms who might not always take a shower in the same bathroom. Sometimes I shower in my bathroom but sometimes I use the kids bathroom so I don’t wake my husband. Since I started using the Flee Hanging Cosmetic Bag, I cause much less ruckus than before because I just have to move the bag from one bathroom to another and I’ve got everything I need!

The Flee Hanging Cosmetic Bag is something that I think will last a lifetime.  I have already used it on a vacation and got several comments on the functionality and design of the bag. The bag fits nicely in the car, folded in half or inside my suitcase.

The Flee Hanging Cosmetic Bag can hang on both a towel rod using the convenient Velcro strap, shown to the right, or on a towel hook using the bag handles.

T-shirts for mom

Clothes - mom & dad

Ltdchix_dreamMoms have many jobs. Chauffeur, chef, house cleaner, tutor, and the list goes on. Why not express your ‘mommy job pride’ by wearing an LTDchix t-shirt made just for moms?  I do!  I feel great when I’m wearing my "Living the Dream" t-shirt from LTDchix. I feel proud and stylish at the same time. It’s funny because some days when I know I have to go run errands but the nanny is here, I wear my "Living the Dream" t-shirt just so fellow errand runners know I am a proud mommy!  No kidding.

These are not ordinary t-shirts.  This 100% cotton jersey crew neck t-shirt has contrasting trim at the neck, cuffs and hem which I think is super stylish for a t-shirt.

Feel good about yourself, and your job as a mom. Show off your mommy pride with an LTDchix t-shirt.
