When you bring your baby home from the hospital you hear that NOTHING should go in the crib. You are told to maybe even let your kid cry it out because they are sooo safe there. Well I have news for you, I haven’t found the …

Nuby Mat Review
Friends, I’m pretty excited about the NubyTM Sure gripTM Miracle Mat! I’m giving you a full review with a bunch of photos and a GIVEAWAY on Instagram.
When do I use the mat? EVERY meal! I like how it’s small so I can bring it in the diaper bag to restaurants when eating out or store it easily at home in the cupboard.
The two spaces allow me to split up her food. Such as a granola bar and fruit and then her granola bar doesn’t get soggy. Izzy thinks it’s great for Donuts!
Great for Donuts in the morning!
This amazing new product coming this July to Babies R Us and Amazon for your little one to eat off of. The NubyTM Sure gripTM Miracle Mat is made of 100% BPA free silicone with super gripping action! The built in suction grip easily seals to tabletops and highchairs keeping it firmly in one place! It’s also easy to wipe off, I use baby wipes in a restaurant. This mat is the perfect size to slip in the diaper bag for meals out.
Some Sealing Tips For You: Press down in the center of the plate to remove any air trapped underneath to help ensure a complete seal for added suction. Also please ensure that the surface is clean grease/oil free and dry (e.g Baby Wipes can affect the suction)

Mommy Day then to Mommy Play
It’s super important as a parent to get out of the house and enjoy time without your child(ren). I know it’s not always easy to find fashions that are functional and cute for moms so I’m letting you in on a secret of mine. Pink …

Surviving the Grocery Store
Have you been to the grocery store with your little babe? If you are a new mom, maybe you haven’t been yet.. or maybe you have but your baby sleeps in your sling or carrier. If you have been already and your baby isn’t a sleepy newborn then you know it’s not an easy event. So I’m sharing my tips with you on how I survive the grocery store and get all of my shopping done with ease.
- Status Quo: Have you heard of it? My husband and I always say it to each other. If Izzy is happy we don’t give her anything that might change the current status of her behavior. So do not offer any of these items until you need, about 5-10 minutes in Izzy get’s fidgety and I’m sharing how I keep her content in the cart.
- Snack Time: Pull out those snacks! I keep Izzy’s in her NubyTM Designer Series Snack Keeper. We have tried a few and this top is the softest! The lid is perfect for tiny hands and keeps snacks inside the container. This design is great for a mess free snacking session with fewer spills and less waste. They come in so many fun colors & prints. Best of all they are BPA free! These will be available mid June at Babies R’ Us and Amazon so be on the look out!
- With Snack Comes The Thirst: If you get thirsty when you eat your babe probably does too! I LOVE the Nuby Busy Sipper, 2 Stage Cup. It’s perfect because it has a growing option for the cover. We use the no spill spout right now. The free flow pop up sipper will be great later on. The hygienic travel cover makes the cup easy to throw in the diaper bag and not worry about the spout getting dirty. You can already find this cup on Amazon or at Walmart.
- If your babe is like Izzy they love to throw things when finished or upset, so that’s where the NubyTM KeepeezTM come into play. This double harness prevents cups from dropping on the floor or ground.
- Bring On The Electronics: When she’s finished her snack or it’s just not keeping her content anymore I pull out the phone with a favorite app or music to keep her content or bopping until we finish up. We don’t always need this but it’s a great back up. Call the mom police! ha!
Ready, set… go shopping with your little(s)!

Being a mom isn’t always easy is often difficult. The biggest reasons are kids test their moms constantly and your child is constantly changing. You think you have the routine down and then boom they HATE that favorite food, they don’t sleep through the night …
Making Play Meaningful
When you play with your babe one thing to question is, “Am I making this meaningful play?” One way to make play meaningful is to associate it with something that happens/happened recently.
An example of this would be, you went to the zoo and then that week you play Zoo at the house with stuffed animals and pretend to feed and care for them. Depending on your child’s age maybe you even create animal masks as a fun craft.
I want to share an example of how Izzy and I had meaningful play today.
Every morning Izzy watches me make her scrambled eggs. She sits on my hip as I one handed crack and egg and scramble it. She points to the pan and tells me “that” her way of letting me know each next step. We got some adorable Farm Fresh Felt Eggs for Izzy to re create how we make her breakfast every morning in her own kitchen. Farm Fresh Felt Toys are so adorable and perfect for pretend play. In her egg set each egg opens and out pops a felt egg! How cute is this?
We talked about getting the egg out of the carton like I do in the morning. Next we dropped the egg into the pan for Izzy to cook. She was so excited to actually be able to open the carton and crack the eggs on her own.
You really should visit Farm Fresh Felt Toys for all the goodies they have. They have a fireplace, cupcakes, s’mores, sugar cookies… the list goes on!
