Philips AVENT Single Electric Comfort Breast Pump (Review & A Giveaway Too!!)
By · 17 Comments
*product received. All opinions are mine. This post has an affiliate link.
I have ALWAYS had to pump with all of my kids. Due to circumstances, I pump EXCLUSIVELY on the right breast and breastfeed exclusively on the left.
I do one feeding on the left breast, then on the next feeding I will do the pumped breast milk in a bottle for that feeding. It has always worked out for me and I am very thankful I CAN pump milk out. I know it can be hard to do!!
Thankfully too, I am a reviewer. I get to try out new products and test them. I was able to try out the Philips AVENT Single Electric Comfort Breast Pump. I have tried out three breast pumps so far and this is by far the best one to date.
This breast pump is not only quiet (the others I have are quite loud!), it is gentle AND effective with getting my milk to come in. I no longer find myself pumping for longer then 8 minutes, as I can usually fill up 4 oz. by that time and sometimes I forget and the bottle over flows with breast milk 
That is so cool, because NEVER has a breast pump done this well for me before!! Usually I had to pump for about 15 minutes at a time, four times a day, to get only HALF of what I get now. So you see, a GOOD breast pump is essential!! You just have to read the reviews and pick what is best for you. I am thankful I did get to review this one, because I am so impressed with it and now I have time to do other things instead of sitting down for half the day pumping!
Blocked Milk Duct?
We went to the beach last weekend and I brought a portable pump that I have. Since using the Philips AVENT Single Electric Comfort Breast Pump
When I got home, I used the Philips AVENT breast pump and right after that pump, it was gone. NO more blocked milk duct. This just shows me how wonderful of a pump this really is. It really works well for me.
What Is In The Box
One Philips AVENT Single Electric Comfort Breast Pump, one standard-sized cushion, one 4-ounce Natural bottle, and one Natural newborn nipple. Mine also came with two packages of breast pads! Oh and the ac adapter cord.
What I Love About This Breast Pump
The ease of use
Easy pumping at the touch of a button
Compact and portable (very light!!)
This breast pump is compatible with other Philips AVENT products, including Natural and Classic bottles and milk storage containers
backed by a two-year warranty
To help prevent wasted milk, the collection container that connects to the pump also works as a bottle with the included natural, breast-shaped nipple.
The pump features a soft cushion with five textured petals intended to gently help stimulate milk flow
After you switch on the pump, it will automatically start in gentle stimulation mode to encourage letdown. You can choose from three other pumping settings to find the one that’s best for you
Unlike breast pumps that operate correctly only when you lean forward, the Philips AVENT Single Electric Comfort Breast Pump allows you to sit comfortably upright as you pump
See? SO much to love about this breast pump!! I hope you now see why I absolutely love this pump and will always use it!!

You can purchase the Philips AVENT Single Electric Comfort Breast Pump online at Amazon.com. It retails for $129.99.

Sounds like a great company, doesn’t it? I was sold and wanted to review for them! I was sent a really really really cute pair of girl sandals to check out. I actually had my little adorable niece review them for me! She received the pretty Sage Sunshine Sandals. They are so cute and the color yellow is so bold and bright! LOVE.
These sandals are perfect for any little girl! They are playful, fun, bright, trendy and cheery and my niece loves them! They are made really well, are super comfy and perfect for spring/summertime!
These sandals are adjustable with an easy to adjust velcro band. They have a beautiful yellow color with a cute and fun cut out with silver underneath. They also have a cute flower pattern on the bottom of the soles, which I found super cute looking! And, on the back, there is a silver little heart. I am trying to download a picture of my niece wearing these, so bear with me! Perfect for your girl! They are also true to size!!!

Sunglasses for Kids! Real Kids Shades (Review & Giveaway)
By · 10 Comments
*product received. All opinions are mine.
Little ones eyes need protection too! I tend to forget this. I love wearing my sunglasses and know that they protect my eyes, but I often forget about my kids eyes too. Poor lil’ things!
Real Kids Shades offers a fun variety of shades/sunglasses for your little ones, so they no longer have to do without. Sun is dangerous, so sunscreen and shades is the way to go!
I was sent three cute little pairs of sunglasses for all of my kiddos! Even the baby They are perfect for them and fit them okay. I say okay, because my son’s looks kind of small for his face, but my daughters fits her better. Even the baby sunglasses fit him pretty well! I just have to adjust them better on the sides, then they fit the baby better. I just wish that the velcro on the sides was a bit longer to make for a tighter fit.
These sunglasses are for baby/kids ages 0-12 years of age! How cool is that?! I chose the following pairs to review:
Flex Shades (3-7 years old) in Red
Flex Shades (3-7 years old) in Purple
Infant Shades (0-24 months) in Light Blue
The Flex Shades come in nine different colors and are very sturdy and fit well on my kids faces. They also have Flexible unbreakable rubber frames, which is a must for kids! They are also shatterproof and impact Resistant and they offer 100% UV protection. They come with a removable neoprene® strap, so your kids won’t lose them!
The adorable Infant Shades that I received are too cute for words! They come in 12 different colors/patterns. They also offer 100% UV protection and are shatterproof and impact resistant and are RX capable!! These also come with an adjustable neoprene® band that comfortably and securely keeps the glasses in place (but there is room to wiggle because it does not keep my sons glasses in place!). These infant sunglasses came with a sun hat and cute carrying case!! We LOVE this set!!

You only live once, so why the heck not treat dad with something he can actually enjoy?? I was able to review some delicious treats and wanted to share them with you all! They are from the Harvard Sweet Boutique and man they make some YUMMY stuff!!
I was sent a selection of tasty treats and they did not last long!

Keka Case for the iPad and Kindle (Review and Coupon Code!)
By · 8 Comments
*Product received. Post contains an affiliate link. All opinions are mine.
We have several tablets and with kids, it is hard to keep them nice. I am sure, all of you with kids and nice things, understand this!!
I never had cases for our Kindles and it definitely shows. I do have the protective, plasticky covers for the screens, but that is about it.
I heard about Keka Cases and felt the need to review one. I chose the really pretty Foliage Blue Keka Case to review. I actually let my daughter choose it, as it is her Kindle after all
It arrived and on the Kindle Fire
Keka uses eco-friendly inks and they start by printing the designs onto the same vinyl used on race cars! I thought that was interesting. Then they add a cast overlaminate to make it resist tears, stains, and water (it is quite strong and secure feeling!) Then they take the vinyl and wrap it around recycled book boards (that is why it reminds me of the hardback book!!). They then add a polycarbonate shell to hold the iPad 2, New iPad, Kindle, or Kindle Fire securely in place – or a bonded leather for your iPad 1.
Another feature I love about the Keka Case is that it doubles as a stand in landscape mode! So, if you want to watch a movie or whatever, on your Kindle (or other tablet), you can do so, easily! Just prop it up!!
I love all of the pretty designs you can choose from. BUT, if you don’t see a design that fits your personality, you can then create one!! Isn’t that neat? I love having that option! Maybe you want to put a picture of your child on it or a cool picture you took. The options are pretty much endless!

You can purchase the Keka Case online at http://www.kekacase.com/. They retail for $39.00.

College Bound?
By · 1 Comment
*sponsored guest post
There are so many kids graduating! It is certainly that time of year for it! I have already been to two graduations and another coming next week! Whoosh!
With graduation, comes thoughts of college and new beginnings! I am sure most of the kids are eager to get to college and start their ‘new’ lives leaving parents in tears of sadness (or possibly joy??)…
And though their summer break is just beginning, fall will be here in no time and soon, those graduates will be thinking of decorating their dorms at college! How exciting!
I know when my niece went into college, she went crazy decorating her dorm. The rooms are sooo small, but she really did great with the space she had to work with. She got adorable floral print dorm bedding to go with her wall decor. Oh her dorm looked like a little home!!
One thing my niece did not like, coming out of her dorm room, was some silly looking residence hall linens staring her straight in the face! She wanted so badly to take them down and purchase some more flattering ones!! But, they would not let her, it was too funny! She is soo particular about things!
So, when your graduates go off to college, help them make it memorable. There are so many ways to spruce up that tiny dorm room with just about anything. I think homemade things are best. Maybe a keepsake of you and them at their graduation, framed in a frame that you painted and put together? Or perhaps a collage of your graduate and their friends on graduation day? Things like that, they will appreciate so much, and when they get homesick (you know they will!!), they can look at what you made for them and hopefully that will ease the homesickness some.
Do you know someone going to college this year? How will you help them decorate their dorm room?
