Veganic Oil

My daughter struggles with the typical baby bald spot int he back of her head where her hair was frequently in contact with sheets, stroller, and carseat fabric and I hated it. I tried so many products and this was the only thing that created noticeable results within a week! She later began pulling her hair out to self soothe I think... stress, boredom... I honestly think a part of it was for attention. She seemed to enjoy the startled reaction we had when we saw her do it. Anyway, I ran to this oil again and again, it worked miracles. I had to stop reacting to her pulling her hair for her to break the habit, but once the habit was broken, with this oil I began seeing new growth in 2-3 days! She was bald! Smooth and shiny bald and I saw sprouts of new hair in days! It was amazing! It has grown my hair too. The oil blend consists of: castor oil, olive oil, avocado oil, lavendar oil, coconut oil, argan oil, rosemary oil, parsley seed oil, almond oil, and baobab oil.

Happiest Baby Snoo

A literal life saver during those first few months. It rocks the baby to sleep, changes intensity depending on how hard the baby is crying, and most importantly, help the baby sleep for longer stretches of time.

Bugaboo Butterfly

Bugaboo Fox 3 (Fox 5 is the Newest Version)

We live int he city so maneuverability and comfort were at the top of my list when shopping for a stroller. I needed a stroller that was all terrain, because let's face it, city side walks can be rough, and something my baby could take a nap in comfortably without being woken up by the turbulence. The Bugaboo Fox 3 has held me down in the rain, snow, over potholes, uneven bricks, gravel, cobblestones, and more. It's so easy to turn and so comfortable to push I honestly couldn't ask for more. They did come out with the FOX 5 that has a one handed fold though... so I could ask for that. ;) One thing to note is that the stroller's fold is bulky. This isn't a problem for me, but you have to choose what's right for you. This one just navigates the city like a dream and that's what was most important to me. The price point was a bit higher when I bought it but it has been discounted since the Fox 5 came out. The Fox 3 isn't available on the Bugaboo website anymore but you can probably find it second hand or open box from websites like GoodBuyGear.com or a local brick and mortar baby gear store near you.

Babyganics Multisurface Cleaner

This cleans just about everything and works amazing! I also love that it's odorless so it doesn't compete with other smells.

Mustela Stelatopia Cleansing Oil

This is formulated specifically for eczema prone skin. My daughter had horrible eczema all over her body and after trying a ridiculous amount of eczema products this is one of 2 that I use together to keep her eczema at bay. She rarely has a flare up at all now, and when I say rarely I mean only if my husband uses the wrong body wash because he couldn't find this one, or if I skip a day of our routine because she's sick and extra fussy. I'm never doing that again! I hate to see her itchy and uncomfortable. When i stick the the routine, a warm bath with the Stelatopia oil cleanser, followed by a generous appilcation of Tubby Todd's All Over Ointment, and some unrefined shea butter she's eczema free!

Say bye bye to white cast and hello to sun protection! I use the kids one on myself and my daughter. It's a staple. It also works as a great makeup primer. :)

The ability to vacuum without having to do the physical labor, priceless - and a HUGE timesaver - dare I say... necessary.
