My Little Cocoon Baby

My son has mild eczema here and there and we’ve used several different lotions and soaps and cremes along with a visit to a dermatologist.  When he has flare ups, we use a creme that the dermatologist gave us but lately we haven’t had any flare ups and we’ve been using Cocoon Baby Body Wash.  My mom first heard about this body wash in our local paper where it mentioned it was designed to treat eczema, so we picked some up at the grocery store. This body wash is phthalate free, paraben free and is in BPA free bottles along with it being cruelty free and vegan.  So good stuff basically. Try it, you might like it!

Lil Kicks

My son has been living in crocs this summer and I figured we needed to get him some tennis shoes for fall/winter.  So I went on the hunt and OMG there are so many cute ones.  I had trouble deciding between cute and colorful and cute and neutral.  The Dr. Seuss ones are ADORABLE!  I really wanted to go with something that was easy to put on and take off.  I ultimately ended up with #3 and I could not love them more.  They are so easy to put on and they are neutral with a bit color with the orange stitching.  LOVE THEM!

As Tall As a Beanstalk!

I didn’t think to get a growth chart when my son was born to put in his room, but now I’m really contemplating one.  I want to get one that would move with us because I know we won’t be in this house forever.  My fav right now is #1.  So tell me this, do you have a growth chart? If you have more than one kiddo, do you track their height on the same chart or different ones?

It’s BAAACCCCKKKKK

My baby’s beginning a new school year and I am finding each year more and more fun.  A lot of mom’s had the back to school experience this last week and I had to share mine!

I am so proud of my little man and love the experience of watching him grow up!  3rd grade, BRING IT ON.

iPhone Apps: Monkey Preschool Lunchbox

Monkey Preschool Lunchbox is toddler crack! After playing it a couple of times as we wait at a doctor’s office, my son has been running around saying “mama, monkey? monkey?” Go check it out, it’s been a huge hit at our house!

Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite

I love to see my little guy in his PJs.  There’s just something about those little baby legs running around the house in those PJs! I am loving these from Company Kids and I do believe my favorite is #3.  Do you love baby PJs and if so, where you do you get yours?

I’m In Toddler Food Hell

Ok peeps, I need some help!  I need some new ideas for lunch and snacks for my almost 2 year old.  We are all over Goldfish Pretzels, Hormel Natural Choice Deli Meat, Granny Smith Apples, Organic Strawberries & Blueberries, Watermelon, Sun Maid Mini Snack Raisins, Yoplait Whips and of course CHEERIOS.

So PLEASE somebody give me some new ideas! I just feel like we’ve got the same rotation constantly!

(P.S. We are currently on a cheese strike, but we are working on it…)

Eyyyyy Poncho!

Was I the only looser cool girl who thought ponchos were like the thing, the  COOLEST garment circa 1992??

Well, ready or not, they’ve made a comeback and you’ll never guess how….

Hey Buzz, Over Here!

Toy Story Anyone?

So my child wakes up at 6a most days, takes 1 nap that can range anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on the day, and the rest of the time? The rest of the time involves running, lots and lots of running and/or thinking the furniture in our house is the Little Gym.  Generally the only time the kiddo will sit still is if I put on Toy Story 1 or 2.  And I’m gonna go ahead and admit it, it’s really nice to sit down for a breather.  So we are very much looking forward to Toy Story 3 coming out and having that be The First Movie Experience.

So with all that said, I have two questions for you:

What is your kiddo’s favorite movie?

And why does Bullseye (horse) not speak when Hamm (pig), Rex (dinosaur), and Slinky (dog) do?
