Not Your Average Baby Blanket: Fill In The Blankie

August 18, 2012 by Candace Reid 3 Comments 2,527 views

Last year around this time, I visited my friend’s blog for the first time and ended up reading the whole thing! One of her posts was of her then baby boy holding the cutest personalized blanket, from a company called Fill In The Blankie. This company offers super soft and luxurious blankets for babies and more. Its quite simply the perfect baby gift. My son Aiden never really had anything personalized a baby but since he is only three, when I was asked to review the blanket on Serendipity Mommy, I was more than happy to oblige. About the company: [...]

Step 2 Grill & Play Patio Cafe Review and Play and Shade Pool Giveaway

July 14, 2011 by Candace Reid 783 Comments 5,467 views

Having only one little guy who is too scared to go on the big water slide presented a problem of entertainment for our toddler. We needed something to keep him busy so he wasn’t getting in the way of the older kids having fun outside. Step 2 asked of they could send the Grill & Play Patio Cafe and the Play and Shade Pool for Aiden to review and I said yes, because it was the perfect solution. Ya’ll know by now that I am a huge sucker for food related toys because I am a chef so to see [...]

A Bargain Stroller That Rivals the Big Guys

July 2, 2011 by Candace Reid 1 Comment 1,202 views

I have had the chance to review a few strollers over the course of raising the tornado toddler that is now just 3 months away from turning 3 years old. If you have read my old reviews you know there is a specific list of items that must be present for me to use the stroller; its got to be light and fold compact, comfortable for the kid and has to have a place to hold my keys and phone because I don’t carry a diaper bag. I found all of these things in a stroller and very surprisingly in [...]

AppleCheeks Cloth Diapers Review & Giveaway

July 17, 2010 by Candace Reid 547 Comments 2,912 views

I loooooove cloth diaper reviews. I love the fact I get to share the soft squishyness with my readers. I keep it simple when I say I use cloth because it costs less for me, its better for my kid’s skin AND its cute! I’ve done a few reviews and though I have a great stash of work horse bumGenius diapers, they are a bit too bulky for a toddler running around in the day time, so I am been looking for trim fitting pockets for Aiden for daytime. AppleCheeks diapers are an outfit out of Canada that manufactures some [...]

July 16, 2010 by Candace Reid 206 Comments 2,842 views

There is a special place in my heart for the folks at Learning Curve. They have worked with me before and I love the products the have. And they are serious about making like easier for me. Learning curve asked me if I would review the new .miSwivel Feeding Chair and I said sure! After all I love saving SPACE and this is one of those items that does that. What it does is not only swivel around with the pull of the lever, but it also tilts back/reclines for younger kids, without having to reposition the entire chair. It [...]

A Big Step For Small Feet – Vincent Shoes Review & Giveaway CLOSED

June 30, 2010 by Candace Reid 440 Comments 2,867 views

I’ve reviewed a few different brands of shoes on this blog, especially with Aiden, pretty much since he started walking at 14 months. At first he needed soft soled shoes so he could learn to walk okay and then as he got older and developed more, he needed a little more structure. He really needed a shoe that lent itself to the shape of his foot for natural movement. Vincent Shoes stepped up to the plate and allowed us to put them to the test! A little History behind the brand: This is Vincent. Vincent Elbaum. Born February 22, 1998, [...]

We have a pretty large backyard with some woods. There is a lot of walking and exploring that can be done at our home.
