Product Review: Hoodebaby: Warmwear and Rainwear


With summer just approaching and rainy season in full force here in Florida, you’ll love the new line of Rainwear by Hoodebaby

Hoodebaby is a hooded blanket that simplifies life for parent on the move. Just slip on the hood, wrap up your baby and GO... 

The most WONDERful part is that there are no buttons, zippers or snaps to wrestle with. It is made from BPA and lead- free laminated cotton and cotton flannel. All of the fabrics are stylish and fun for every child, unlike the boring yellow raincoats I always remember wearing as a kid. 
  

 It took my son a few days to finally allow me to cover his head (he hates hats) and use the Hoodebaby Rainwear to its fullest potential... 

After that, all he wanted to do was walk and crawl around the house with it like it was a fun toy, he especially loved the reaction from the dog. 

This is definitely a functional and convenient new look for coats! I look forward to using mine a lot this rainy season!!! 

Make sure to look out for their cozy and comfy line of Warmwear by Hoodebaby.

Do you know the MUFFIN Pan?

It is truly amazing how much my 15 month old inspires my creativity! 

After visiting The Dollar Store a few days ago and buying a tin muffin tray for Bradley to use for sorting, he decided to take it upon himself to start placing all of his goldfish in one of the sections, thus, my snack tray idea was created. 

Next time, I might try labeling each section with numbers or even pictures of food groups. You can also use one of the sections to hold a sippy cup! 


Bradley's Top 6 snacks: whole grain goldfish, chopped up tomatoes, cut up watermelon, natural peanut butter snack packs, organic american cheese cut into small pieces and veggie straws.

  After sharing this idea on my Wonder Mommies Group Page, I received tons on responses on how great this ideas was, so I decided to do some research...

As you can imagine, the ideas are endless: 

I learned that one friend uses tin muffin trays for her son who is a very picky eater. They call it 'surprise dinner' and he gets really excited to see what is in each cup!

I also found a WONDERful site Muffin Tin Mom. Her ideas and themes are priceless!!! 



How about tin muffin trays for CRAFTS??

Product Review: Cubbie Cup

Grab it and Go...
Sippy and Snack cup





Cubbie Cup is the ultimate combination of a sippy cup and a snack cup! Cubbie Cup was "born" on a crisp fall afternoon as I was driving home with my toddler. I watched her drink from a sippy cup, throw it on the floor, and start to eat her snacks. A moment later, she wanted her sippy cup again, but it was on the floor...and I was driving. Explaining to a toddler why mommy can't stop in the middle of traffic to retrieve a sippy cup doesn't go over so well! As soon as I got home, I drew the first sketch of what is now known as the Cubbie Cup!
No longer do we juggle multiple cups! I literally feel "off-duty" during snack time! When you are relaxing at home, taking trips to the mall or the park, Cubbie Cup is a snack time necessity! I hope your family enjoys it as much as we do!


An all in one sippy cup and snack cup, OMG--I love this idea and concept. When I received it, my hope was that my son would love it just as much as I did and HE did!!! It took a few days for him to get use to the concept because it is definitely an awkward shape to hold, but once he did, he took off running with it -- literally! He wants it everywhere we go now.  It is so great to see my son become so independent during snack time. He was able to grab his goldfish out of the snack container and then sip on his water whenever he wanted. Genius idea.


Bradley is 14 months old and caught on very quickly, so I recommend that its best to use with kids 12 months old and up. After he used it for a few times, I washed it out and threw it in the dishwasher and it remained in perfect condition. I also love the extra detail with the measurements engraved on the side, it definitely helps you keep track of how much your child is drinking and eating. It is under $12.00 online at Amazon, which is great, since you are getting the best of both worlds.

After bringing it with us on a play date a few days ago, all my friends were raving about this product...
"Why didn't I think of that?" They all questioned. Well, you might not have thought of the idea but you can still WIN one for FREE!
