My review: I love love LOVE this book! Not only have I been reading it to Robbie, so have his big brothers! I love that I have a sturdy book with which to start introducing him to this beloved story of our faith! What a wonderful introduction for him to Our Savior! Highly recommended!

Review: Infantino Mash & Serve Bowl

This is one of my new favorite products! This thing couldn't be easier to use! I have used the Mash & Serve Bowl to prepare several foods for Robbie, from potatoes to bananas to macaroni and cheese! It really makes it simple to make sure that I am properly mashing up food and making it easier for him to eat food we prepare for him.

I must admit, I was a skeptic over this preparing foods for him ourselves thing, but we have come to realize several things as we have experimented. First, we realize how much cheaper it is to prepare fruits and veggies ourselves instead of paying for prepackaged foods. Second, we have discovered new foods and ways to prepare foods we never would have tried ourselves! We have been eating more acorn squash and sweet potatoes than we would have without trying out these products with the help of MomCentral and Infantino!

Review: Infantino Flip Baby Carrier

I've had the pleasure to review the fantastic Infantino Flip carrier! You can't see it much in this pic, but it was taken the day that I wore it to our first local high school football game.



I have tried out two of the three ways that the Flip can be worn: front-facing and facing inward, both where he is being carried on my front. He isn't big enough to try out the back-carrying position yet, but I'm confident it will work well, too!

The carrier itself is lightweight and pretty easy to figure out. The directions that come with it sufficiently described the steps needed to get it on properly. Robbie was very happy with it every time we used it. It has made getting around in crowds much easier, and keeps my hands free to help maneuver my older two sons, too!



As you can see, the carrier is sleek and its color keeps it from clashing with whatever you or baby's father is wearing. I really like this feature, so that my husband can also feel comfortable wearing Robbie, too!

I've already recommended the Flip carrier to a friend! They are available at your local Babies R Us stores, Target stores and online!

And here's a treat: the Infantino EcoSash and Balance carriers are $10 off at Babies R Us through September 21st!

You can also check out the Infantino facebook page, YouTube channel, and blog or follow them on Twitter for information, deals, and contests!
