Kids Become Little Builders with Magnetic Stick N Stack Toys: Review and Giveaway

August 1, 2016 By Marijean

I am always looking for new learning toys to keep my kids occupied, especially during the summer months. My 7 year old and 5 year old love to build and use their imagination. When I was contacted to review Magnetic Stick N Stack Shape Mags, I was very interested since I never heard of them before.

Magnetic Stick N Stack makes building so quick and easy because each plastic tile has magnets around its borders. You can connect and make all kinds of things such as vehicles, houses, shapes, letters, animals etc..

Both of my children were very excited to open the boxes and get to building! I love all of the shapes and the bright colors. As you can see my children had a blast making fun projects out of Magnetic Stick N Stack sets! They spent hours building with their imagination creating some really neat things! They connect to each other very well, are very sturdy and don’t fall apart easily when you go to lift up your creation to move it. I love that there are endless possibilities of what you can make with Magnetic Stick N Stack sets. My son loves to build garages out of them for his cars, and my daughter builds doll furniture out of them. We have had them for a week now and each day they continue to build with them. I love how creative they are getting, and I do think these are a great learning toy for my children.

These are recommended for ages 3 and up, and they would make perfect gifts for all occasions. Magnetic Stick N Stack are fully compatible with Magna-tiles TM brand & all other major brands.

Baby Bliss Essentials Review and Giveaway #babyblissessentials

July 28, 2016 By Marijean

I’ve recently reviewed two products by Baby Bliss Essentials, a small business created by a mom driven to create natural products for her own children. All products are made with all natural, therapeutic grade essential oils.

The first product I reviewed was the Tushy Spray. It’s purpose is to heal and prevent diaper rash, including rashes caused by yeasts. I tried this product on my 11 month old son in place of the harsh diaper creams that are found in the grocery store. The Tushy Spray cleared his diaper rash over two days. I decided to take it a step further since it’s also safe to use on other parts of the body. My son tends to have dry skin due to the pool water and drying sunscreen. I started to use the Tushy Spray all over after baths. It not only moisturizes his skin but leaves a fresh and calming scent.

Just in time for back-to-school, I reviewed Namaste, an all natural disinfecting cleaning spray. This product neutralized my older boys’ smelly sneakers leaving behind a clean scent.

Baltic Amber Jewelry from The Amber Baby Giveaway #TheAmberBaby

July 26, 2016 By Marijean

*This is a guest post

“What is that beaded necklace your son is wearing?” I received this question about ten times after I posted a photo of my youngest , Matteo, wearing a Baltic Amber necklace on social media. I have three boys ranging in ages from 11 months to 7 years old but only until recently did I learn about the benefits of Baltic amber. With each baby I have turned more and more to natural remedies rather than synthetic medications. When Matteo was 4 months old and began teething, I decided to research Baltic amber after it came recommended from a friend and purchased my first amber necklace for him. Within a couple of days of wearing his necklace, the drooling suddenly stopped and it seemed as though he had been soothed. I was honestly amazed! Commonly known as “teething jewelry” in Europe, Baltic amber has been used as a natural remedy for thousands of years. Baltic amber is a fossilized resin, not a gem, that washes up on the shores of the Baltic Sea. The resin comes from prehistoric trees, dating as far back as 50 million years ago. Over time, the resin is transformed to amber due to processes of polymerization and oxidation. Baltic Amber is known to have analgesic properties. When worn on the skin, the amber warms and the natural succinic acid is absorbed through the skin which helps to relieve pain. Shortly after recommending Baltic amber to all my mom friends, I decided to start my own website. All of our necklaces are made using raw Baltic amber from Lithuania. Amber is collected and mined in many different regions of the world but Baltic amber has the highest succinic acid content. Baltic amber is not only for children but can help people of all ages. It’s helpful in the relief of painful arthritis, headaches, dental issues, etc. I hope to soon begin carrying adult sizes as well.

Being that I’m a neurotic mom myself, before purchasing the necklace I questioned, “How safe are these?” We already know that succinic acid is natural and beneficial. To maximize the safety of our necklaces all beads are hand-knotted in between every bead. This prevents beads from scattering if the necklace should break. All necklaces are fastened with a plastic pop-clasp which will automatically open under a defined tension. While your baby sleeps, it is advised to remove the necklace or wrap around the baby’s ankle. As always, all jewelry should be worn under adult supervision.
