Fond of the Frog Pod

As a Mom, I sometimes find it challenging to find ways to effectively organize my son’s toys and other belongings. I recently happened upon the Frog Pod bath accessory by Boon Inc, and I think it’s great!

This colourful mildew-resistant green frog hangs on your shower wall, and keeps your child’s bath items under control. I love that you can store all their items in one place! The Frog Pod has a shelf on the top, allowing you to store their shampoo & bodywash, and you can hang things like a shower puff from the frog’s toes. The body of the frog is a detachable scoop with makes collecting bath toys easy as pie. Once you scoop up the toys, you can easily rinse them under the faucet, & re-attach it to the base.

The Frog Pod is wall mountable in 3 ways. Included in your purchase are 2 methods. One being adhesive strips (holds up to 10lbs), and the second being screws to secure it directly into the wall (holds up to 20lbs). The third method is to purchase the suction cup bracket, sold separately. When using the suction cup method, the Frog Pod holds 5lbs.

We personally chose the adhesive strip bracket, which we found easy to apply and has worked very well. We were uncomfortable drilling into our shower tile, so for us, this was a great option.

The Frog Pod does take up a fair amount of space (19" x 16 1/2" x 7"), and the toy storage area is a bit narrow for some toys, but most bath toys fit in there just fine! This product is versatile, fashionable and very user friendly!

This accessory is also available as a red or pink lady bug, called the Bug Pod.

The Frog Pod retails for approximately $34.99. For information on where to purchase the Frog or the Bug Pod, click here

There is an adorable solution for needing a quick bed, blanket & pillow for your toddler or preschooler to nap with! Whether it’s going over to the sitter’s, spending the night at Auntie’s house, or taking a road trip, this is one item that you can’t live without. Our little guy even loves to occasionally lay on it while watching cartoons.

The fashionable Lambs & Ivy Brown Monkey Nap Mat is an all-in-one mat geared for children 2-5 years of age. It is machine washable, dryer safe, and has a write-on name tag for personalization. It rolls up effortlessly and is held together by 2 Velcro fasteners. A carrying handle is also attached for easy transport. Weighing only about 1 pound, it can easily be toted around by its little owner.

The mat itself is a polyester/cotton blend, and the attached blanket is baby soft fleece. When laid out, the Nap Mat measures 20¼”W x 45”L.

The Nap Mat is available in Brown Monkey, Pink Monkey, & Trains, and retails for approximately $24.99 in Canada.

Hooter Hiders - Need I Say More?

I would normally try to think of a clever title for this blog entry, but I think the brand name does it complete justice! LOL I love it!

Now, we as breastfeeding mothers should not have to hide our hooters so to speak, LOL, but some of us are more modest than others and may feel uncomfortable baring what to some may seem like all. - Enter the Hooter Hiders Nursing Cover!

If you read my previous blog post entitled "What No One Ever Told Me About Breastfeeding", you'll know that I was very shy and modest in the beginning of my breastfeeding experience. At that time, I tried several nursing covers, only to find that I wasn't really all that happy with any of them. I truly wish I had of known about this product when I was nursing my son.

Hooter Hiders Nursing Covers have a rigid neckline, which is one of the main features that sets it apart for me. The semi-circular rigid neckline allows you to have eye contact with your little one, and facilitates air flow thanks to the open neckline.

They come in a number of stylish prints, are made of durable 100% cotton and are machine washable. They also come with a stylish pouch to store the nursing cover and to keep it clean. You can easily adjust the nursing cover to sit higher or lower by simply tightening or loosening the D-ring neck strap.

This product is a lot wider and longer than most others on the market, allowing for extra privacy. This is especially great if you are a plus sized Mom, or are nursing a wee one who loves to wiggle around and grab at the cover!

This product retails for around $35.00 US, and is available for purchase online at BebeAuLait.com as well as in local boutiques. For a list of stores carrying this product, click here.

Peachy Keen Over Peachy Bean's Cocoa Collection!

Peachy Bean Baby has a new organic line out called the Cocoa Collection! I sampled their fresh looking "Cocoa Avocado" hoodie, which comes in brown and bright green.

The 100% organic cotton is so soft and cuddly, I wanted to wrap it around myself! Unfortunately, the 4T size just doesn't quite cover me, LOL but I love the fabric. The material is quite thick and the hoodie has a strong, solid zipper up the front. This tagless hoodie has an adorable "Peachy Bean" label sewn onto the top of the hood and seems quite durable. After washing it, it held its shape and colour.

These hoodies are available is sizes 6 months - 4T & come in 3 different cocoa colours - Natural White, Avocado & Raspberry. The suggested retail price for each organic hoodie is $26.99.

Peachy Bean Baby is a family owned Canadian company, and their 100% certified organic products are made in India. Non PVC inks and eco-friendly dyes are used to create these adorable products, and are made under fair trade conditions.
