Re-Play and a Giveaway

This past spring we finally got our back patio set up. We stained the deck and purchased a table, chairs and umbrella to enjoy morning coffees and dinners outside. We looked all over for a nice and sturdy table that would last us for many many years. We ended up getting our set (Berlin Gardens) that is made from 96% recycled materials- mainly milk bottles. Not only is it low maintenance- which was a must- it helps the environment as well. This is something I have been trying to be more conscious of in my purchases this past year. The tables are also made in Berlin, Ohio which is a third plus being made in the USA.

A few months later, one of my friends (Andrea) posted about how she won a complete set of kids dishes and sippy cups from a contest online from Re-Play. The dishes were made from recycled HDPE, aka #2 plastic which of course is milk jugs AND the products are made and tested in the USA. I was so excited and immediately had to check them out. I went straight to Re-play's Instagram (Here) and then their website. These dishes come in a rainbow of adorable colors and stack well. I knew that we just had to have them!!!

 Up until now, our cupboard has been a mess of mish-mashed dishes and cups. It takes up so much room and was so disorganized. These plates and dishes stack up so nicely- it makes my slightly ocd self so much happier to see.

The plates and bowls have held up well to a crazy toddler. I was worried that he would destroy the forks because Logan likes to chew on forks and straws until they are no longer usable- so far they look just as good as new.

 As you can see, we've been using these dishes for a while. I  love the divided plates. It gives me a few options to place different kinds of foods and keeps things from getting completely mixed together by toddler fingers. The sippy cups are great too- they are no spill cups and I think we will get the most use out of them with Quinn as she learns to drink from somewhere other than me.

 Quinn will be getting a few pink and yellow sets for Christmas this year to add to our collection! I might try a few of their new flat plates as well. You can pick up a set at Walmart or off Amazon.

I absolutely love love love these dishes. They wash up well, can be thrown in the dishwasher and wont break when tossed on the floor. 

Re-Play has generiously agreed to giveaway a "Monster Mash" set to one of my readers. This includes 3 plates, bowls, sippy cups, fork and spoon in green, purple and orange... just in time for Halloween.

To enter- just leave a comment telling me which color is your favorite! (Bonus entry if you also include a fun snack you would serve... I'm always looking for fun and new ideas to serve the kids.)

This giveaway is only valid for those readers in the US (sorry guys), will close on the 9th and winner will be announced in a week- October 10th.

*Items were received for review but my opinions are 100% my own. I love these dishes and hope you do too. :)

Covered Goods- Giveaway!

***GIVEAWAY closed. Amanda Z- please email me- you are the winner of the giveaway!***

One of the most nerve wracking things about becoming a parent the first time around was the thought of breastfeeding in public. I quickly learned after Logan was here that a hungry and crying baby trumped all worries I had about what anyone else thought. The first few weeks I tried really hard to time outings so they were in between feeds but one night we went out to eat with a coworker of my husbands family. I brought a bottle for Logan because I was nervous and had never met them before.... you can probably guess what happened next. It was the first time he refused a bottle and sat at the table screaming. Lucky for me, they were awesome (and the wife was also breastfeeding their youngest) so they told me to go for it and ordered me a beer.

Even now the second time around, when I am out, I like to use a cover. It is totally a personal preference and I don't bat an eye at those who don't... but I quickly found out that I have some very inquisitive babies. If they aren't covered, they want to stop eating to see what is going on and after delivery, I guess I'm still trying to hold on to what little modesty I have left. ;) Logan wasn't a huge fan of the cover but would tolerate it... Quinn is definitely not a fan at all of being covered up.

On our trip to Seattle a few weeks ago, we were out and about a lot. I quickly learned that the second Quinn is done eating she wants out and likes to karate chop the cover out of her way. It's crazy fast and I barely have time to adjust my shirt before shes peeking out and laughing at me. I knew that there had to be a better solution than the small and lightweight nursing cover I had been using. One that would actually keep me covered...

 Checking out Instagram, I came across Covered Goods. There is was, a nursing cover that actually covered you. I had to have it. Luckily, they were oh so nice and sent me one to try out. Let me tell you- this cover is fantastic. Not only did I get a beautiful design, but it covers your front and back and stays on until you are done and pull it off. I have used it nursing all over the place and haven't had to once worry about anyone accidentally seeing anything.

Not only does it work as a nursing cover, but it also can cover your baby in the infant bucket seat. So if it's windy out or your little once is napping, you don't have to worry about bringing another blanket along. It also can not blow away- which is amazing.

Also, when you baby starts sitting up in carts, you can also use it as a car seat cover. Right now, Quinn still goes in the carrier when we shop... but once she can sit a little better, I will be using this on our errands out!

In a few weeks, I'll be heading to the beach with a few girlfriends while Geoff hangs out with the kids. I will be pumping a lot to keep up my milk supply while I am gone. Two years ago when I went, I was in the same position and I remember how akward it was trying to pump and keep my nursing cover from flying all over the place. This year I am so excited that I will stay fully covered and could probably pump with a tropical drink in my hand instead. ;)

If you aren't completely sold on this cover yet Covered Goods is giving one away to one of you!

To enter to win a cover of your choice all you have to do is leave me a comment on what design you would love to have!
Contest will be open until Sept 4th at noon and I will email the winner shortly after it closes!

Good luck.

Giveaway with Freshly Picked!

*** Giveaway Closed! Winner has been notified. Thanks to everyone who entered!***

Hey guys, back today with a less serious topic. Shoes! When we found out that baby #2 was a girl, the very first thing I ordered for her was her first pair of Freshly Picked moccasins. Purple of course! We absolutely love these shoes in our household.

When Logan was an infant, I researched baby shoes and came across a lot of information about how babies who are learning to stand/walk should go barefoot or wear soft soled shoes. It helps them to feel the ground while they are learning to walk and they can freely move their feet around. They also provide some protection from anything on the ground, or ground that is too hot or cold.

After trying a few different types on (because lets be real, baby socks never ever stay on feet) I fell in love with the look of the moccasins. They are cute, made of quality leather (or suede) and stay on active little feet. Logan had a pair of camo moccasins that Quinn will wear once she grows into them. But as of now, you can find her cute little toes in these...

Made in the USA, these are by far my favorite first shoes for babies! Once Quinn outgrows her purple (Size 1), our friends at Freshly Picked sent us these Heirloom in Ivory and Chrome (Size 2).

 They are honestly so adorable even my husband loves them!

And whats the best news? YOU can WIN a pair too!!!
All you have to do is check out the Freshly Picked website here and leave me a comment letting me know which is your favorite pair.

This contest will close Monday July 20th at noon and the winner will be notified by email.
This giveaway is open to my US readers only... sorry!

Good luck!!!

(If you haven't seen the Shark Tank episode about these moccs, go and watch it! Susan Peterson's story of getting started is a good one!!!)

Citrus Lane Subscription Box

Does anyone else have a toddler and have your Facebook full of Ads for kid friendly products? I don't know if it's all the photos I post or my status updates but it's known I have a kid.

Anyways, I have seen the ad for Citrus Lane boxes for months! Finally after seeing it one too many times, I decided to check it out and sign up. I chose to have a box sent to us in May since Logan has a December birthday and we definitely didn't need anymore things post Christmas. I figured it would probably have a few items that were geared for the summer months. 

The box came while we were in Cincinnati visiting friends and family. It was a nice surprise to come home to mail that wasn't a bill or catalog after our trip. I think I was a little more excited about it than Logan until we opened it up and he got busy pulling everything out of the box. What could be more fun for a toddler than a box of goodies?

Here's what was in our box!

 

Chunky Wooden Puzzle from Melissa and Doug
-All our puzzles are Melissa and Doug. Happy to add this one to our collection

Fresh Feet Wipes for Kids from Jasmine Seven
-Guess I will find out if these are worth it this summer! 

Cookies from Back to Nature
-this is a good get into the carseat bribery snack. No shame here... it is a struggle to get this kid to sit.

Parthenon Sand Mold and Track Roller from Hape Toys
-we needed more toys to take to the beach when we go... will see how these stack up. :)

Hero from Goodbyn
-bento style food container.

(Not shown) 25% off form Vinemarket.com


What I really liked about our box is that it's made up of brands who we already buy products from- Melissa and Doug, Hape... It's also tailored to our age group so we received products that I know we will use. I've seen a lot of subscription boxes our there in the blog world and haven't been swayed to try one out until now.

Personally, I'm the type of person who finds what I like and buys the same things over and over again (especially true for makeup- it takes a lot to knock me out of my comfort zone and try something new). I don't like to clutter up my house with too much "stuff" that I'm not sure I will use. However, children's belongings are a whole other beast and I am really pleased with what we got. I'm planning on keeping our subscription for June and see what I think of the next box!

If you would like to check out Citrus Lane for yourself- you can click here and get 50% off your first box. (I also get a credit that goes towards our next box so if you choose to check it out and use my link- thank you!)
Cost of the monthly box is normally $29. You will sign up for a subscription but can cancel anytime. :)

This review is not sponsored in any way- just wanted to share our experience for those mama's out there who were also a bit interested in what these boxes were like. :)

Vega Sport Review- Preworkout

The first year of Logan's life I was tiiiired and understandably so. I had broken sleep, was breastfeeding and taking care of a helpless little baby who really needed me for everything. Once Logan started to sleep through the night, I still felt drained and not myself most days. Coffee was overflowing and I slugged through my workouts. It wasn't until we passed a year and we weaned Logan onto whole milk that I started to feel a bit more like myself.

 It was around that time that I started to get serious about getting into better shape again. I wanted to lift heavy and run faster... to feel more like the old me. Before heading to the gym, I was using Advocare's Spark to give me a little boost of energy. However, after being so conscious of what I was putting into my body throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding, I was a little concerned with all the unknown ingredients in my daily drinks.

Being a Sweat Pink Ambassador, I was given the opportunity to try out and review a Pre-Workout Energizer by Vega Sport as a part of their Fuel Your Better campaign.
I was given their Pre-Workout Energizer in acai berry, which also comes in lemon-lime. It is plant based, dairy free, gluten free, soy free and contains no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. Much different than the Spark I was drinking before. ;) It was formulated by Brendan Brazier who is a vegan Ironman triathlete.

Pretty much you just mix a packet with a cup of water and drink about 20 minutes before you workout- easy peasy! I found that the taste was not the greatest but I loved the extra energy I felt while hitting the gym and knowing there are no crazy ingredients floating around my body. I was able to get through a tough Body Pump class and keep up with my husband when we lifted weights together two days later. No yawning or mid-workout slumps over here. I don't think that this is necessary to take everyday before an easier workout but it is wonderful if you are feeling a little weak or have a bigger workout on the books. (We took a few personal trainer based classes at the gym which include TRX and have a more 'Crossfit like' approach and this would have definitely helped on those days. Holy Moly were those classes intense but amazing).

I definitely will be checking out the lemon-lime flavor to see if I like the taste a bit better. Overall, I was really happy with this and will be looking forward to checking out other VegaSport products (mainly the gels for when I start running more frequently again...)

Puzzles and a giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Logan is now getting to the age where he is really starting to understand a lot and his motor skills are quickly advancing. Some of our favorite things to do each day are work on using a fork and spoon during meals, take apart and put together this Melissa and Doug train and play with puzzles and shape sorters.

I got one of the typical knob puzzles and a few fun ones with safari animals and vehicles (this one makes noises when you put them in the right spot). He loves taking everything apart and I'm slowly teaching him to put them back in their correct spots.

I will show him once and then sit back and watch as he explores putting them in the wrong places and how they don't fit everywhere. Watching a kid learn is one of the craziest experiences, it's truly miraculous to watch their little brains taking everything in and even better are the smiles and claps once it clicks and they truly understand what they are doing! I, personally,  love reading and working on puzzles. I'm hoping that as he grows, these will be some fun activities that we will be able to do together.

Needless to say, I'm always on the hunt for fun activities for us. We have mounds and mounds of snow outside and are having our fair share of cabin fever days (longing for warmer weather, long walks and getting the mail without having to search in the snow for our mailbox).

I was lucky enough to be able to try out a puzzle from Piczzle Photo Puzzles through Tomoson.

A little bit about the puzzle-
Piczzle's Cardboard Puzzles are made of outstanding materials, top craftsmanship and the highest print quality. They are constructed of a premium grade cardboard that has been laminated with a glossy finish. Our cardboard puzzles are precision press cut so that all pieces will be perfectly match one another and they are printed using an advanced digital printing technique that results in sharp, multicolored prints.

Basically you can make a picture puzzle out of any of your favorite photos! 

It was so simples. I went onto their websites, picked out my puzzle, uploaded a photo and put in my information. A few days later, my puzzle was at my doorstep.

There were quite a few sizes but I picked a medium puzzle with larger pieces (16 total) in the hopes that larger pieces would mean we could put this together with Logan sooner. I wanted a fun photo of himself that would make him excited to take the puzzle apart and put the pieces back together again.

When it arrived, I was so excited to see that all the pieces came in a box with the main photo on the front. Easy to know what we are putting together and to know which puzzle we are getting. The pieces were good quality and easy to lock together. The photo on each piece turned out really nice- there was no funny color to it and it looked just like the photo I sent them.

I really want to send them one of my travel photos to make into the largest puzzle!

Now here is the fun part for you- I am giving away one small Piczzle puzzle!
Just check out their website here and write a comment on your favorite puzzle on their site between now and Monday.  ;)

Workouts and Yoga!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


As one of my Resolutions for the new year, I said I wanted to incorporate more Yoga into my life again. January has come and gone and that resolution is still words hanging in the air. Oops.

I have been hitting the gym a lot lately.
I've been trying new and old classes again with different instructors. Most of the time I am a little limited on when I can go (aka during the day care hours) so there are still a few I haven't hit.
I've done Body Pump (love), Boxing Bootcamp (insane), Pilates, Spinning, Abs class...

Other days when I don't hit up a class, I lift weights with Geoff (following some suggestions from bodybuilders.com) and I've recently felt like running again, so I've done a few miles here and there.

Mixing it up so much has done wonders for my mood, my motivation and I get really excited for each day I have gym time scheduled in. I like to keep our days full but not too packed as to overwhelm Logan so we go about 3-4 days a week right now. Even though we would love to go in the mornings, our mornings are filled with fun activities or play dates for Logan... so we are hitting the gym in the early evening hours. At least we are going.

I was recently able to test out a yoga DVD -Yoga Sweat by Julie Schoen and jumped at the chance, hoping that this would be the kick in my pants to get my downward dog on.

On days I don't make it to the gym, I try and do a video at home or a short workout of squats, burpees, planks, etc. My go to DVD's are Jillian Michaels and Insanity- so you can tell from those, I like movement and things to be a faster pace so I don't get bored.

The Yoga Sweat DVD  is 80 minutes of Yoga- it has two 30 minute workouts and a warm up and cool down that are 10 minutes each.

Yesterday after chasing Logan around and putting him down for a nap, I popped in the DVD and tried out workout one and cool down.

Today I went with the warm up and Workout two.

Workout one was great. Workout two was hard!!! I loved both the warm up and cool down and can see myself adding both onto one of the workout as time allows.  I felt challenged by both the workouts and engaged the whole time. My body felt great afterwards with all the stretching. It made me fully aware of how wonderful I feel after yoga and why I want to get back into it more often.

The DVD was easy to follow but also moved at a fast pace. Julie did a great job at talking me through the poses the whole time and I never felt lost in the workout. 

One the box, this DVD says "Powerful and Fun Yoga for Weight loss and Beginners!"
It also say "Burn Calories, Tone Total Body and Increase Flexibility with Invigorating and Playful Yoga Workouts".

I would have to agree with everything. I would like to point out that even though it says for beginners, I would not recommend this DVD for anyone that doesn't have a small understanding of basic poses. This is a quick moving workout and I could imagine someone could get lost and frustrated easily. I've done a limited amount of yoga but I felt really comfortable with this workout since I have taken classes, I know what the correct form of the moves should feel like.

I really enjoyed this video and I honestly already put it with my DVD's that are in rotation for me. It's a great workout for a recovery day or a day when I'm burnt out and need to take it easy. I find yoga can calm my mind while engaging my body- leaving me feeling very refreshed.

Logan loves yoga too! He is perfecting his downward dog.  Haha.

Let me know if you decide to check out this DVD and what you think of it, OR if you have any favorites that I need to check out!

Breakfasts with Chobani

I used to hate breakfast. I remember when I was in high school, my dad would heat up little sausage biscuits for me in the morning for me to eat on the drive to school. In college, I favored sleep over breakfast as I pulled a lot of late night and all-nighters (art school was full of big projects and it was hard- in a really fun way).

When I started flying, I realized that early mornings, late nights, full long days and jet lag can all lead to getting pretty sick. So, started to be more aware of what I was putting in my body and started to eat breakfast. One of the easiest things to pack was yogurt and a banana. We would get the big packs of Chobani cups from Costco and that is what I ate most mornings on the road.
(Weird fact about me... I had jaw surgery in high school so I had to eat soft foods like yogurt for a while. Now, I can't really stand the texture of most yogurts but I can stomach greek yogurts because they are a thicker consistency.)

Enough of me, lets talk about Logan.
Breakfast is an important part of the day so we are trying to set a good example early on for Logan. When we started solids, we first ate dinner together, then we added in breakfast and last was lunch.

Our favorite breakfasts have been
-Fruit (peaches, banana, mango, berries...)
-Eggos, Toast, Pancakes or French Toast
-Oatmeal (we don't do the baby oatmeal, I just make the plain and sometimes stir in fruit)
-Yogurt
(We tried eggs but that wasn't a hit)

Chobani was nice enough to send us a box of Chobani Champion tubes for Logan to try. We had Strawberry, Strawberry-Banana, Blueberry, Cherry and a new flavor flyin Dragonfruit.

We tried to let Logan eat right out of the tube a few times but that proved to be pretty messy... he loved every second of it though!

Logan liked all the flavors but the two he gobbled up the quickest were the Dragonfruit and the Strawberry. We ate them plain, froze them and brought them out with us, added fruit into them, spread the yogurt on eggos; smashed graham crackers into the yogurt for a little bit of texture.
We even bought those little mesh holders, froze the yogurt in ice trays and we gave it to him when we was teething- that was a huge hit!

My favorite was the cherry flavor. When I needed a late night treat, I added a spoonful of chocolate chips into the cherry yogurt!

I've really enjoyed sharing something that I eat a lot of with Logan. It's helped to expand our breakfast line up and been a huge hit with both of us! Thanks Chobani!




*We received the yogurt free from Chobani to taste, all opinions are our own!

Yummi Pouch and more baby food

I have been having a blast feeding Logan. It is so much fun to see him trying and loving so many foods!

A few new purees and foods we have been eating over here include-
Oatmeal, peach and mango
Butternut squash (also added in pear one night)
Sweet potato and cinnamon
Mashed potato with peas (He actually ate it all and didn't act like I was trying to posion him)
Strawberries
Blueberry and Pear Yogurts
Carrot, Sweet Potato, Broccoli and Apples
Chicken

We also ventured a bit into Baby Led Weaning. I know I said it wasn't for us in the first few weeks but while we were in Cincinnati we headed out one night for a festival by my parents house. As we walked around and snacked on corn on the cob and ribs, Logan got very upset we were eating and he wasn't. I shared a few kernels of corn and a small amount of rib meat without sauce and he gobbled it up. We all cheered him on and he was so proud of himself, smiling and waving his arms all around. It was the cutest thing!

We were on the go, visiting friends and family for the majority of this visit. Saving time, money and keeping his outfits clean were top priority and we were lucky enough to get to try another Reusable Pouch! I am slightly obsessed with the pouches since they are so easy to carry. I've started to bring Logan's lunches and a snack for me in them when we can't be home to eat. We are heading to Seattle very soon to visit again with the other half of the family and will be again bringing pouches with us for the airport and days we out and about.

Let me introduce you to the Yummi Pouch

These are reusable, freezer and dishwasher safe, BPA-free and Phthalate-free pouches. They have a wide top opening which makes them the easiest pouch to fill that I have tried. They can stand up on their own when filled, take up to 6 oz of food and even have a fill line so you know when to stop and don't overfill your pouch! They are designed by a Husband (Andy)/Wife (Katie) team which I think is super cute since I love families who work together.

They have a started pack available called "Little Munchkin Set" that includes

• Set of 6 Yummi Pouch reusable food pouches - hold up to 6oz each
• 16oz filling funnel pitcher
• 10 dishwasher safe name label stickers
• 2 decorative dishwasher safe sticker sheets
• 6 mixed color extra pouch caps

• OR you can buy the pouches alone. It is $14.99 for a set of 6.

Yummi Pouch was nice enough to offer my readers a 15% discount off all accessory purchases- Just type in 15FORFUN.  Give these pouches a try, I'm sure you will love them too!

You can check out Yummi Pouch on their website, Twitter and Facebook

Pool time with Babyganics Pure Mineral Sunscreen

One of the great parts of living in an apartment is having access to a pool! In the summertime here in the northeast, it is not only hot, but humid!!! Usually, I could power through a hot afternoon, but this year it is a little different with Logan. I have to think about covering his baby skin from the sun and making sure he is getting enough fluids so he isn't dehydrated. We tend to stay indoors on really hot afternoons for now- unless we are taking a dip in the water.

We are a quick walk over to the pool, so the other day we got Logan dressed and covered in BabyGanics sunscreen, grabbed our bag full of pool supplies and headed on over. It was a beautiful sunny day and the water had that crisp chill feel to it.
Since this was our first attempt in a pool, we stuck his feet in first to get him used to the cooler water before sitting him down. It took him a few minutes before he started splashing and kicking but all in all- I think he liked it.

Our first time in the pool was a success and we certainly had a good time cooling off as well. We didn't stay in the water too long because we didn't want Logan to get too cold. 

It's no surprise that I have light skin that burns easily and even though Logan seems to have a good mix of the two of us, I am still worried that he will burn like me. The last thing I ever want is my baby to go through a skin cancer scare like I did. Babyganics sent us their new Cover Up Baby Pure Mineral Sunscreen, SPF 30 to test out. I applied it to both Logan and myself to make sure it didn't let me burn. We have used it quite a few times and I am pretty happy with it. No burns on either of us, it applies easily and didn't leave us feeling greasy.

I already own the Cover-Up Baby Natural Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+
and is easy to carry and apply when we are out and about. (I've found that when Logan is in the BOB stroller, he can be completely shaded except for his feet. I keep this stick with me so his little toes don't burn. I can also quickly apply it to parts of my face or shoulders as well.)

The EWR has rated this new sunscreen a 3. Babyganics, in my opinion, is your best bet for an affordable and easy to purchase sunscreen (carried at Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby). After looking through the ingredients listed, I felt very comfortable putting this on Logan and myself. Added bonus- it's made here in the USA! 

(from their website)

BabyGanics pure mineral 30+SPF lotion provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and even moisturizes as it protects.  So go ahead and use it everywhere….face and body – BabyGanics has your little one covered!

• NO PABA, Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates, Nano-Particles or Fragrances
• Non-chemical sunscreen moisturizes and protects sensitive skin
• Hypoallergenic, tear free formula is perfect for full body coverage
• Non-whitening formula absorbs easily

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer sun in a safe and covered way! :)

Squooshi review and Giveaway

***WINNER of the Giveaway is Julie E- please email so we can get your prize sent to you!***

Starting baby food for Logan has been so much fun! (Read about it here). However, once you start, you have to keep going. Which is fine until you throw some plans during "meal time" into the mix. I chatted about it before but carrying a bib, spoon, food in a container, something to clean up baby and mom with... it adds a lot of extra stuff to an already packed diaper bag!

There is another type of pouch that really takes the cake for cuteness!
Let me introduce you to the Squooshi pouch!

How is this pouch different from most others?
-The pouches come in 2 different sizes, 2.5 oz and 4.5 oz.
-They fill from the bottom and the spout is on the top.
(This helps to make clean up a breeze because the water runs straight through them.)
-They have Cuuuuuuuute animals on them, which make them extra fun!

Every time I have been out with these pouches, I have gotten stopped by a mom wanting to know what they were and where they could buy them. :)

This past week we traveled to Cincinnati for a friends wedding and to spend time with family. I brought these pouches for Logan to eat lunch on the airplane and used them off and on during the week when we were on the go. It was so helpful to have a quick and easy snack that didn't get allllll over the place while we were out. I filled them with applesauce, yogurt and a sweet potato mix. Half the time I really tempted fate and fed them to him without a bib and all the clothes made it out without a huge mess. Hooray.

Squooshi was started by a father-daughter team after Shannon was inspired to make a reusable pouch by her son Reid's love of eating food from pouches. She wanted to be able to give him fresh homemade food with the convience of the store bought pouches. After 2 and a half years of research, development and product testing Squooshi was launched in October 2012 with reusable food pouches that are BPA-free, Phthalate-free, PVC-free, and Lead-free.
They have a few recipes on the site, check out here to get you started on ideas of what to put in them.
I think we are going to try out the Apple, Carrot, Sweet Potato and Broccoli recipe this week! I also have enjoyed looking at the store bought pouches for food combination ideas.
Another fun tip is you can also freeze the pouches and use them as an ice pack to keep other food or drinks cold while out!

My only complaint with these pouches is that Logan would squeeze the middle and the top of the pouch would slump forward- keeping me nearby and from letting him eat from the pouch by himself. However, I found that if I used a thicker food, it seemed to work better and we didn't spill anything. :)

All in all we LOVED these pouches and are excited to continue to use them in the future.

Since we loved them so much and the people at Squooshi are so generous... I am super excited to give a set of Squooshi pouches to one of my readers!!! YAY.
It's not even the 4 pack that I was sent to try, we are giving away their new 6 pack to one of you. How cute are the new animals!?!?!
