ERGO Omni 360

Now that we have baby number two, daily tasks are taking on a WHOLE new meaning. I have a new respect of parents with more than two children. I am so thankful that some girlfriends encouraged me to baby wear with our first child. Baby wearing can be intimidating at first. From not feeling like you have the carrier on correctly to wondering if the baby is too small to even be in the carrier. Many cities have baby wearing clubs where you can try out different carriers and check and see if you are wearing the carrier properly.

I love the Ergo Omni 360 for baby number two. With this Ergo, no infant insert is necessary and you can carry in all the positions. It also goes from newborn to toddler (7-33 pounds), so no need to buy different carriers for different stages of life. We LOVE that! We have already taken it on a couple walks to the park and I wear her around the house while I do chores or help make sure big brother is staying out of trouble. Before receiving the Ergo 360 Omni, I was worried about how I could tell if I had it in the right position for newborn versus toddler. But all those worries were eased as soon as I opened the box. The carrier is color coded according to size and SUPER easy to use. The coding is right on the carrier so you won’t need to carry the instruction manual with you. While I love our Ergo Travel, the Omni 360 has a much better lumbar support and strap system. This is especially great when baby gets heavier.

PERSONALIZED PAJAMAS

What better way to start a trip than with a pair of personalized pajamas! Whether you are going to grandma’s house for the holidays or a little Christmas vacation, you can create a pair of custom pajamas. It can even be a fun way to deliver the surprise of where you are going! These are also great as we transition to fall/winter weather and need a little something warmer. As we head into the Christmas season, we think these make a great gift too. Our boys loved picking out what was going to be on their pajamas.

Growing up, I remember my parents trying to put all of the presents into the car and my sister and I trying to shake them to see what was in each box. We love these personalized Christmas bags. You can transport your gifts easily or just have a stylish way to present them under the tree. This also makes a great gift for the Santa in your family.

MULTI-FUNCTION NURSING SCARF

SILICONE COFFEE, TEA OR EVEN HOT COCOA TO-GO CUP

Every morning starts with coffee. Whether I’m making a latte at home or picking up a holiday favorite, a hot drink is definitely part of my daily routine.

Which is why when I found out about GoSili’s new silicone coffee and tea to-go cup I was thrilled. It’s the first all silicone cup that holds it’s shape with an embedded stainless steel ring so it won’t collapse when gripped.

The best part is that it is both dishwasher and microwave safe. Yes! I can easily heat up my drink once it has cooled off and even if my husband forgets to bring home his cup from the office for a couple of days, I can place it immediately in the dishwasher and cleans it as good as new.

With 100 billion disposable cups going into landfills each year, the GoSili Cup offers a better solution to metal and plastic to-go cups which can’t be placed in the dishwasher or microwave. The cup is safe and free of any toxins, freezer safe too and can be boiled to sterilize.

ERGOPOUCH FOR SLEEP OR PLAY

One of the coolest items is the ergoPouch sleep suit. It converts from a sleeping bag to a sleep suit with legs using four way zippers. So whether you are at home transitioning from a nap into playtime, or on a plane going from being active to cozying up in the seat for the night, the flexibility and functionality of the ergoPouch is perfect.

They are made with natural fibers that are soft and breathable and less likely to aggravate itchy skins and depending on what part of the country you live in, you may need more or less warmth so there is a TOG (warmth) rating to measure thermal resistance for different seasons.

They also have great patterns and colors for both boys and girls.

PEDIPED BOOTS

We absolutely love the brand pediped when it comes to shoes. Not only do they have exceptional quality and unsurpassed comfort, they have distinctive styling that has made the award-winning company the fastest growing children’s footwear brand in the United States.

As we head into winter, boots will become a top priority – especially for those that live where the elements are the strongest. And while we want our kids to still be able to slosh around in the mud, jump in puddles, and kick up snow, we want to make sure their feet are taken care of. Pediped is an excellent choice for those who want their children’s feet to develop naturally and healthily.
