My Review of the Evenflo Exersaucer Triple Fun Active Learning Center, Life in The Amazon

When my husband and I are were registering for baby products we already knew we were expecting a boy. However, when choosing things for baby we were very cautious in not going to overly "boy" just in case we decided to have a 2nd child and it was a girl.

We both love the ocean and tropical places so when we saw this excersaucer it caught our eye because it had a tropical theme. I loved the sounds it made and the animal theme. Evenflo Amazon Excersaucer.

This Excersaucr usually retails for about $100 but Amazon has it for 84.99, which is a pretty good savings. e

What I love about is the colors and the fact that it teaches babies about "Cause and Effect". My son already knows that if he bounces the blue lizzard will light up and play music.

Moms! we all know it is a pain to ask our hubby's to put things together, however, I was able to put this together fairly quickly myself, you just need a screwdriver, The directions are fairly easy to follow and once you have the base assembled putting the toys in is the easiest part!

What I love about this is that he will be able to use for years to come, Once he is done using it as a saucer it can become a play table. This  comes with 11 age-appropriate toys and fun music help baby achieve developmental milestones. Excersaucr

What I love most is that the seat cover is machine washable to that if there are any accidents you can easily wash it. The toys are also easily removable so you can use them on other evenflo products. 

I give it 5 out of 5 stars!

Vacation with baby!

Summer is right around the corner and what does this mean..It means vacations!!!!!
Vacations are excellent ways to relax, unwind, forget the daily grind and have fun with your family, but is it fun traveling with small kids?? is it worth it??
First, lets begin with how we are getting to our destination. You can drive, take a train, boat, or plane. Most of us will choose to travel by plane since it is the quickest way to get there. My airline of choice is United Airlines. If your child is under two years old I would highly reccomend not paying for a seat. They can be just as comfortable sitting on your lap. Save the money while you can. Kids who ride on laps do not pay. However, expect to pay full price if you choose to buy your child a seat and also they will need to be strapped into an FAA regulated car seat.
Now..what to bring on this trip. Lets say for the purposes of this Hub We are headed to a warm beach location.
When I get to my beach location I want to have an Inflatable Pool so that my baby can relax in it. 
I heard Pampers Swim Diapers are the best for being in the ocean/pool, so that is what I am buying, My baby is using Size "4" diapers so I am buying him size "5" in the swim diapers. 
I am not a fan of hotel cribs so I am choosing to take my own Pack N' Play, the one I use is Graco Pack N'Play
My stroller and car seat are the Chicco Cortina stroller and Chicco Key Fit 30 which I reviewed in a post yesterday.

Here is a list of things I am bringing 
- Swim trunks and rash guards, Diapers, Swim Diapers, Water shoes, Pack N'Play, Car Seat, Car Seat Base, towels, wash cloths, sling for bath, 2 outfits per day. Shoes, socks, hats, onesies, diapers, wipes, desitin or A &D suntan lotion (SpF 30 or 50) will update you on what else I take and How this adventure works out!

My Review of the Chicco Cortina Stoller

Hello Mommies! 

 I'm sure of you so many of you out there that are expecting a baby are so overwhelmed with the variety of products out there available for babies. Well I am here to help you out. I'm going to review the products that I chose for my son every so often. First let me tell you about how I came to the decision to buy the products I did. I owe it all to my wonderful neighbors who told us that we had to buy this incredible book called Baby Bargains.

Baby Bargains Book- Buy Here

Let begin with my stroller.

I chose the chicco stroller and car seat combo, I chose it because of the rating it received online as well as the review that the Baby Bargains Book gave it.

Chicco Cortina Stroller: Buy Here
Retail Price: 329.99

This car seat it comes with is the Chicco Key Fit 30 has been great it was easy to install in my car without too much complication, it also meets FAA standards for travel on an aircraft, I will be using it next month on an aircraft.

The stroller has been great. first and most importantly it is light weight and very very easy to fold. You just pop up the handle and bam it folds without a struggle. It is easy to put in and take out the car seat carrier as well. Also when my son sits in the stroller without the car seat it is very comfortable. It is also able to handle walking. We walk alot and it has held up pretty well.

The only con I have is that sometimes the reclining mechanism get stuck and you have to jiggle it a little to get the seat to go down. But I've heard this is common in all strollers. Second, the cloth gets a little dirty to quickly, but again I heard this is common when you have children!!! ;-)


Well I hope this review helped you out a little bit...Below I'm going to add some links to accessories I bought for the travel system.
