Huggies Little Movers Review

I was lucky enough to be picked to try & review Huggies Little Movers diapers.
With twins in the house, you know we go through a lot of diapers. They are moving more & more every day & squirm like you wouldn't believe.

Any parent has experienced the dreaded "blow-outs" where the child has pooped so much or moved & the diaper is unable to contain the poop. Outfits have been ruined...actually we have literally had to buy a new outfit for the girls because we forgot to pack another outfit.

With Huggies little mover, I have less worry. I am not saying that you NEVER have to worry about blow-outs if you use them, I am saying that I am not as worried. The girls wiggle, roll, crawl & squirm. The Huggies Little Movers stay with them every step of the way.


They are soft, have cute patterns & the best part...tabs that hold! Elastics around the legs and waist don't dig in to their sensitive little bodies, but they sure hold in all the mess!

Thanks, Influenster for giving us the opportunity to receive Huggies little movers for free in exchange for review! #IChooseHuggies

Halo SleepSack Giveaway

The HALO SleepSack wearable blanket replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby's face and interfere with breathing. In addition to sleeping more safely, HALO SleepSack products help babies sleep better, too. It's a warm, cuddly blanket they can't kick off, ensuring your little one sleeps soundly throughout the night. 

Since 2005, the American Academy of Pediatrics has suggested the use of wearable blankets. Today, HALO SleepSack products are used by over 1,250 hospitals to promote safe sleep, and by millions of parents nationwide to help babies sleep safely from the start.

Halo has a ton of resources on it's website, for more information go to HALO

Here are their safe Sleep Tips.

 

ALWAYS

• Place baby to sleep on his or her back at naptime and at night time.
• Use a crib that meets current safety standards with a firm mattress that fits snugly and is covered with only a tight-fitting crib sheet.
• Remove all blankets, comforters and toys from your baby’s sleep area (this includes loose blankets, bumpers, pillows and positioners). The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests using a wearable blanket instead of loose blankets to keep your baby warm.
• Offer a pacifier when putting baby to sleep. If breastfeeding, introduce pacifier after one month or after breastfeeding has been established.
• Breastfeed, if possible, but when finished, put your baby back to sleep in his or her separate safe sleep area alongside your bed.
• Room share, but don’t bed share. Bed sharing can put a child at risk of suffocation.

NEVER

• Never put your baby to sleep on any soft surface (adult beds, sofas, chairs, water beds, quilts, sheep skins etc.)
• Never dress your baby too warmly for sleep; keep room temperature 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Never allow anyone to smoke around your baby or take your baby into a room or car where someone has recently smoked.

Halo has generously donated a wonderful prize for us to give away to our followers.

Get your entries in now for a chance to win this wonderful prize! of 5 Swaddle/Sleep Blankets!

We thought it would be fun to end the giveaway on the same day as my co-blogger's baby shower, so you have from now until May 2 at 11:59 PM to enter the contest for your chance to win this amazing prize!

Secret Outlast Clear Gel ~ Review

I was sent the Secret Outlast Clear Gel for free from BzzAgent to provide feedback & a review on it.
I never used a gel deodorant stick before & I have to say that I really wasn't a fan of it.
It was cold & wet, quite frankly during the winter time, the last thing you want to put on your body is something cold & wet.

They state that it is a quick dry formula, but I didn't really test that aspect as I got dressed right after applying it. So I am not sure if it was absorbed by my clothing or if it did dry quickly.
The scent was minimal, but not unpleasant. At least it was not overpowering as some of the competitors.

The biggest test I could put it through was during the holidays. We ended up hosting a party for 11 people. Talk about stress! I really had no fears about the performance of Secret Outlast Clear Gel, It seemed to work quite well.
