The Beginning of Fall

Here on the East Cost, the weather is changing. That means cooler nights and changing leaves. We decided to take advantage of that and go to our local state park. They have a beautiful area right on the Delaware River, where you can see the city skyline and get some really great photos. I plan on taking Bobby’s official 7 month photos this weekend. He’s just a couple days shy of 8 months. I’m also planning on doing a fall photo shoot in the same park, with a fall setup. It should be really cute, I hope it comes out as I imagine. Happy Saturday, I hope your having a relaxing weekend.

Amber Teething Necklace Review

I’ve been doing some research on the Amber Teething necklaces for a couple months now. I really wanted one for B, but didn’t really want to spend the money, just in case it didn’t work. My Secret Sister sent one as a gift, and I was so excited when I opened up the box. He’s been using it for about a month now, so I can give you a review on it so far. Here is a little info about Amber and what it does:

When ballistic amber is worn on the skin, the skin’s warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acids and absorbed into the skin. (This was copied from Inspired By Finn click here to visit there site)

Baby B received his necklace from Inspired By Finn and it’s consider the 4 different round, which comes in 5 different lengths for youth. He’s been wearing the necklace every day. I remove it at bath time, then don’t put it back on him until he wakes up in the morning. The necklace is close to his neck, so when it’s on, he doesn’t even realize it’s on. I thought he would try to pull it, and play with it, but he hasn’t. The first day he wore it, he seemed to drool a lot less. He has yet to cut any teeth, but tends to have signs of teething at times. He is always mouthing and drooling, so I was happy to see that the drooling was less. I have had to give him Tylenol twice this month, because he was really fussy and crying. I will say I haven’t seen any drastic changes since wearing the necklace. But we also haven’t had any teeth cut. I’m going to have him continue to wear it, because even if it doesn’t work, he looks so stinkin’ cute!

Toygaroo: Play, Learn, Laugh, Then Send It Back! *Review*

I want to share my thought on a website that I recently started to use. The site is called Toygaroo, and it's says it's the Netflix for toys.  Basically subscribers sign up and pay a monthly fee to rent toys. The CEO Nikki Pope was on a show called "Shark Tank" where she sold 30% of the business for $200,000 to investors. It's a small business that I can see becoming very large. Now that you have the back story, now my review!

 When I heard about this, I thought it would be a great way to try out a number of different toys without the risk of collecting dust. I've found that sometimes the new toy can be great in the store, and once it's home baby B could care less about it.  I signed up to receive 6 toys per month, paying $32.99 each month. The one thing that I didn't like is, they have plans where you can get toys every other month, but have to pay monthly. I feel like you shouldn't have to pay for the months you don't receive toys. Anyway, you pick 12 toys to have in your "pouch" and those are the ones that will get sent. I tried to pick higher priced items, just because I want to make sure I get  my monies worth. I received Explore and Grow Busy Ball Popper, Sweet Baby Blocks, Laugh & Learn Learning Workbench, Color Kaleidoscope, Rhyme and Discover Book, Bop and Rock Musical Lion
 They all came shipped in one large box, and each toy was wrapped in plastic warp with a "Yuck free" sticker. What the sticker means is all the toys have been cleaned and sanitized using a 3 step process. The company seems to take cleanliness very seriously, and I'm all about that! Inside the box there also was the return shipping sticker and a paper about what to do. You have to keep the box because you'll need this to send the toys back. All the toys were in "Like New" condition. I was very pleased to see this. That was one of the things I was most worried about. I'm all about 2nd hand toys, but I want them to be in good condition. I planned on doing the 14 day free trial, but once the toys got here, I was more then happy to keep my subscription. I look forward to next months shipment. I also want to mention that Toygaroo has tons of toys to choose from from categories such as activity tables, award winners, crib toys, move 'n go, electronics, learning toys, and much more. There's never any late fees, you can keep the toys as long as you'd like.

So far I've been really happy, and I would recomend this site to you all to try. They offer a risk free trial, so if it's not for you get your money back. It's just life that kids lose interest in toys quickly, but with toy rentals you don't have to waste all that money.
