TruKid All Natural Products

Baby

We recently had the chance to try out several products from TruKids. I love their products and how they are all natural and safe for the kids.

TruKid Eczema Care Bubble Podz offer an eczema safe and fun way for kids to bathe in bubbles! The all-natural formula leaves skin soft and refreshed. Formulated for kids with extra sensitive skin, Bubble Podz provide super gentle bath care for busy families. This super easy, ready-to-use system with pre-measured, single use, water-soluble pods offers a fun, natural burst that dissolves almost instantly.

TruKid Happy Face and Body lotion is now Super Safe for Sensitive Skin. This moisture-rich lotion uses plants such as cupuacu butter and shea butter, which work to relieve dry skin. This lotion is lightly scented with TruKid natural essential oil blend.

I love using all natural products with my kids because I know they are not being introduced to harmful chemicals. Also, I know there is less of a chance for a allergic reaction.

Disclosure: I received product(s) for free in exchange for an honest review, which may differ from yours. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I used personally, and believe will be good for my readers.

Great gifts for the new parents!

Baby

When shopping for the new parents, give them something they can use for years to come! Below are some great gift ideas:

Svan Lyft Booster Seat

The first thing I love about the booster is how portable it is! It fold up compact which is perfect to take on the go and not bulky. Designed for toddlers 18 months to 5 years (or 50 lbs) is the perfect seat for at home or going out to eat. Trust me, I hate using the store booster seats because you never know how often they are cleaned. The Svan Lyft Booster Seat has anti-slip feet, 2 fastening straps and a 3-way harness. So, there is no fear of your little one falling out!

Svan Bentwood Folding Chair

Baby-to-Booster Bentwood High Chair is the perfect piece of furniture for a growing tot. Its beautiful design with three available finishes and easy clean seat pad blends in with any decor. The adjustable seat depth and footrest make it perfect for children from 6 months all the way to 5 years old.

For me, I love this high chair. It is fashionable and matched perfectly with our décor. My daughter sits in this perfectly. She is 3 so she has plenty of room and cleaning is a breeze! I love that it does grow with her so we can use it for years to come! Assembly wise, just took about 10 minutes to put together.

Freshly Picked Moccasins

Children

These sweet moccasins are made of soft leather, just like traditional ones. This means they are very flexible and allow for proper foot development and better balance. Also, the team at Freshly Picked hand-makes each pair of moccasins to order.

We received a pair of the Heirloom in Ebony and Platinum:

The leather is thin enough that it isn't constricting and there are vents on each side that allow air in to cool her feet. Plus, they have hidden elastic so they will fit snug! My daughter loves them and was excited to show them off!

To order your little one his/her own pair of Freshly Picked moccasins, click here. You wont be disappointed!

Snake Oil Card Game

Children

Snake Oil Game is an interesting game to say the least. It’s unlike any game I’ve ever played before. It is recommended for players who are at least 10 years old to adult for good reason! In this game there is a buyer and the other two to eight players are the sellers trying to get the buyer to buy their crazy made up products. The person who manages to get the most people to buy their products wins the game.

You never know what kind of buyer you’re going to get. The even trickier aspect of the game is not knowing what two items you have to put together and try to sell. The options with this game are actually pretty open. This game can be used for hours or even days’ worth of entertainment and educational game fun. You can gain all of this for $19.99.

You can find out more about this game and other games that Out of the Box Games has by visiting their website. You can also connect with them on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

P'jamerz helps kids keep nightmares gone!

Children

As parents, we want to keep all the bad dreams and nightmares away from our kids. Sometimes it isn't easy to just tell our kids it's ok, sometimes we have to show them.

So I have come across this new product called pjamerz. It is a book about bad dreams and getting through them while being brave. This includes a book and two stuffed animals in the set. There are 3 more that can be purchased separately.

This is a great book. I love the whole concept and the kids enjoyed the story. They especially loved the stuffed animals. We read the book and we have added some of our own twists to it. With the pjamerz you help your child feel better about nightmares.

This is a great product and a creative way to teach our children about fears and work through them at the same time. For more information click here.

Guardian angel outlet review

Baby

Guardian Angel is a true smart outlet that actually shuts its own power off when it senses something electrically conductive like a child’s hand carrying a metal object is nearby. So smart! Because we know we can't keep a eye on our kids 24/7.

With a special very high-tech sensor inside using something called “capacitive sensing,” it detects the difference between foreign objects and traditional electrical plugs. When it senses something that shouldn’t be around it, like a key, wire or fork, it shuts off so that even if something is inserted, there is no risk of electrical shock.
I installed the Guardian Angel in just a couple of minutes by removing the face plate of my outlet, then plugging the Guardian Angel back in and re-screwing it to the wall. Easy! And while I can’t say with 100% confidence that it fully shuts off I did notice that when I approached the outlet with a traditional plug and inserted it, a green light came on indicating that it was accepted.

It does cost more than a pack of those plastic plugs, but the security it provides you is priceless!

Purchase a 2-pack of the Guardian Angel Safety Outlet on their website for $39.99.

Children

Now-a-days, kids want tablets or smartphones. The only problem I have with that is either they are too expensive or not kid friendly!

The InnoTab Max features a 7-in touchscreen, built-in Wi-Fi, and the Android 4.2 operating system. While you have access to VTech's own apps and learning software, it will also have a selection of more than 200 educator-endorsed Android learning games.

InnoTab Max comes with 18 installed apps – including MP3 and video players, a camera and a kid-safe browser. The camera has 1024x600 pixel resolution and rotates 180 degrees. Also, you have a microSD slot for additional storage.

With everything above, there is still one thing about the Innotab Max that sets it apart from the rest: Kid Connect! With Kid Connect, parents can use their iPhones and Android phones to send text messages, voice messages, photos and even cool stickers and drawings to the kids. The fun can extend to other family members with Group Chats and Family Bulletin, too. The kid connect app is a great way to check up on the kids if they are with a babysitter!

With all the cool features of InnoTab Max, this will be defiantly the one thing Santa can't keep in stock!

You can purchase the Innotab Max from Vtech's website or at mass retailers like Wal-Mart and Toys-R-Us.
