Super Undies Hero Review

My oldest son is at the potty training phase. The biggest issue that kept arising for me was the appropriate nighttime wear. I didn't want to continue to put him in diapers because I felt that was a set back but I also didn't want him to wake up soaked. Sometime's he doesn't potty at all overnight, but other times he potties enough to fill up an entire diaper. I decided to give the new super undies hero trainer a shot.

Upon removal from the package, I was very impressed by the appearance of these trainers.  The design was unique. The soft pul to the soft fleece leg and hip sections make for a comfortable fit.

The inside of these trainers feature a "pocket" of sorts that also serves as a double gusset. The hero inserts are sold separately but they are worth it. They fit nicely into this "pocket" and it really holds them in place so the don't bunch or move out of position.

The inserts we got were the Super Undies Hero microfiber inserts. These inserts surprised me with the design also. The two contoured inserts come as a set. Both inserts are topped with a "feel wet" fabric to help alert your child of bed wetting accidents. They are designed like this to help your child be more aware of accidents to hopefully make bedwetting accidents happen less.

The larger insert has a pocket that you can put the step up insert in to customize your absorbancy depending on your child. The step up insert could also stand alone if your child needs less absorbancy. The large insert has opening on both ends and the insert does agitate out even in an he machine.

The inserts fit nicely into the "pocket" and stay put. They do not bunch up even with a lot of movement which keeps the absorbancy where it needs to be. They will come out in the wash cycle so you don't have to remove them if you don't like messing with inserts.

We have used these a few nights and even on a heavy wetting night haven't had any leaks. My son loves being able to wear his "big boy" underpants to bed. He has started having less accidents throughout the night and is officially out of diapers. The Super Undies Hero trainers have been a great potty training tool and I'm very pleased with them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a night time solution during potty training.

Mommycon 2017

I'm so excited that mommycon is coming back to Atlanta this year. I went last year and had a blast.

I will definitely be at mommycon Atlanta and can't wait to see what they have up their sleeves. Will I see you there?

Garden adventures

This year we have decided to try our hand at organic gardening. We thought it would be so exciting to grow our own food and important for our kids. I've used this as a learning experience for the oldest baby.

Last year we started our own compost. Its been so much easier than we would've imagined and so satisfying. As a family of 5 we only go through one trash bag a week because most of what we use is recyclable or compostable.

So far we have had 3 raspberries and 2 blueberries. They taste so much different than store brought fruit. I'm loving our little home garden. We will have a large harvest of berries soon as there are so many unripe berries growing.

We are also growing a few other plants. So far we have our cucumbers, peas and carrots in the ground and tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, pumpkins and watermelons in starter pots. I will be sharing more on our gardening expedition.

Balm Baby/Taylor's Tonics

If you have never heard of this line of products you are missing out. Balm baby/Taylor's Pure and Naturals is a family owned small business that specializes in all natural products. Their products are locally made and packaged in eco-friendly containers. Taylors house llc products are organic, natural, made in the USA, vegan, nut free, gluten free, and cruelty free. They have many different product lines and I've just barely started making ripples in their products. What I have tried I have absolutely loved and highly recommend.
Today I want to review a couple of their tonics. The tonics are used as perfumes, aromatherapy, and body therapy. Taylor's tonics are stored in blue or green glass roll on bottles to protect the natural oils. There are many different scents including: Spirit Lifter (anti-stress), Pick me up Peppermint, Cramp Ease, Earl G, Breathe Autumn, and Big Calmer (sleep). The two I am going to review are Cramp Ease and Pick me up Peppermint.

Cramp Ease is designed to be rolled on areas of inflammation or cramping to bring relief. My first thought when I took the lid off was how amazing it smells. The scent reminded me of an orange dreamsicle and it smelled so yummy. Sometimes when people think of natural products they anticipate a strong or awful scent. Cramp Ease was neither of these. The scent was so light and perfect that I could easily see it being used as an everyday perfume. I have used it on many different cramps and the relief has always been instant. My husband gets tension headaches and after rolling this on his neck his headache will quickly subside. To test out the inflammation aspect, I rolled it on some red spots of inflammation that I had on my feet. I had tried many different things to get rid of these spots prior to this and nothing gave me any relief. After just a couple of days using cramp ease at night the spots completely disappeared.

Pick me up Peppermint is made with peppermint that is USA grown. This tonic can be used as a mood enhancer and awakener when rolled on pulse points due to its aromatherapy properties. I have used it to remove tension and to relieve migraines. It's the most affective treatment I have found for my migraines after many years of dealing with them. My husband has been diagnosed with hypersomnia and this tonic has helped him on many occasions to give him more energy and alertness. Just this morning we just it as a mood enhancer when we were both feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Best part about this tonic is that it smells just like candy!
I have always loved being able to find alternative more natural remedies to ailments that we have and have been able to find that with Taylor's tonics. I am very pleased with the products and will continue to buy them. I carry these two tonics everywhere with me because I would not want to be caught without them.

Sweet Pea Bamboo OS AIO

I was a little late to the game finding these little gems. My stash was basically complete and I thought there was no way there could be another brand that would work for us. I stumbled upon Sweet Pea diapers during a sale and I'm so happy that I did. Before the sale I had never even heard of the brand and didn't realize what I was missing out on.

Sweet pea bamboo all in one diapers are comprised of bamboo cotton and bamboo velour inside. There is a sewn in snake like insert of bamboo cotton topped with a luxurious layer of bamboo velour. There is an additional snap in soaker made of a layer of microfiber sandwiched between two layers of bamboo cotton.
The insides of the sweet pea bamboo all in one diaper are super soft. Even after many washes it has not lost any softness. The bamboo interior make this diaper extremely stretchy and easy to get a great fit. There are two rows of rise snaps allowing for these to fit from 8-35lbs. The four hip snaps also overlap to fit skinny babies or newborns. I love that each tab has four snaps because it allows for there to be no wing sag.
Bamboo is super absorbent and these diapers easily hold up to my heavy wetting son. I change him every two hours at the most typically to avoid any rash and the diaper is never fully saturated at changes. It also holds up during naps and I never get any compression leaks. The bamboo velour topper is stay dry and is soft against my baby's bum. My youngest has very sensitive skin and this is one of the few diapers that do not cause him to break out.
Sweet pea diapers are very affordable and durable. They hold up well in the wash and dry very easily and quickly. I air dry my diapers most of the time and they dry within a couple of hours even in the winter. I have had some of my other natural fiber diapers being stiff after they are air dried but this is not the case with these diapers. They are still very soft after air drying and do not need to go through a fluff cycle in the drier.

My sweet pea diapers are one of the trimmest diapers I own. I can put normal clothing over them and they fit perfectly. Even with the extra insert snapped in I have no issues with it being too bulky. They are also very easy to roll up in order to contain any mess easily thanks to the overlapping snaps.

There are many cute prints and bold colors available from sweet pea. There are also retailer exclusives that are starting to come out. Sweet pea also creates all of their prints by themselves so they are truly unique.
