Mama's Favorites part 2

Part one can be found here.

20. Organic Plum Tots {fruit packs}. We just discovered these the last couple of months and have instantly fallen in love. And I'm not even the one eating them. However, Elliana sucks these things like they are gold, so that to me is good enough. Add on top of that they are organic and full of all sorts of vitamins and nutrients, I am one happy happy mama. So happy that I have subscribed through amazon to have these delivered monthly. I ordered this flavor as well as peach. Yum.  

21. Baby Einstein videos. Okay let me just start out by saying that Elliana does not watch anything besides educational videos. Which include these baby einstein. We have the whole set {numbers, shapes, animals, music, etc} and we, clarification; Elliana, love them a whole lot. I think it is important that if my daughter watches any kind of television that it is educational and baby Einstein has not failed us yet.

22. Flashcards. We own every one of these "my first" flashcards and we have "school time" daily. She adores these cards and actually sits in my lap while we go through them. They are very colorful, a lot of them have "feely" type things on them, and they are large and very easy to us. On the back they also have "Questions" that you can ask your baby/toddler. I know these won't pertain to her until she is older, but still, they are awesome awesome awesome. And I believe she has learned a lot from them already.

23. Britax Andrew and I went back and forth between many car seats before we picked this one. In fact we had ordered the graco car seat first, but after figuring out that it was rear-facing only, we had to give it to my nephew instead. The britax so far has been nothing but great to us. It is rear-facing or forward-facing, and so far E has been rear. The only downfall is that there are no cup holders. But hello, that's why my child has hands. :)

24. Chicco Travel System Travel system is numero uno on my list of newborns. This is like a life saver to have a car seat that just snaps into stroller and locks into place. I can't imagine what life would have been like without one.

25. Extra Base This has been a life saver and I think that every family should own an extra base (if able). Andrew and I had to "meet" a lot of times due to me working nights and him working days so this allowed us to keep the baby in one car and not have to take her out. This also allowed us to keep the bases in each car and not have to switch them out every time we chose to take out a different car.

26. Talking/Singing Dog. Elliana got this for her birthday... it took us a month to figure out why it wasn't working {dumb on our part}, and then once we got it working... o to the m g. That girl fell in love quicker with that toy than any other toy she has. She kissed it. Hugs it. Claps with it. The toy is educational. Sings songs. Counts. Sings the ABC's. It's pretty much awesome.


27. Zulily. Mama loves to shop. Mama loves cute stuff. But on top of those two, what mama loves the most is a good good deal. And this site, as well as number 28, are my top two to-go sites that I visit on a daily basis. They have new deals every day, normally lasting 3-4 days, and they are all 50-90% off. Clothes. Shoes. Books. Toys. They even have maternity stuff, and just stuff for moms in general. The only downfall is that the things go fast fast, and shipping takes around a month.


28. Totsy. Same as number 27. Just another site, but the details are the same as zulily. Including the shipping part.

29. Fuzzy Yellow Duckling. This is Elliana's favorite book hands down. It has flaps that she opens up on each page and something that she touches {things sticky, furry, scaly, etc}. It's awesome.

30. F is for Farm. Another interactive book that she can took and things "move." She adores it

31. You are my I Love You. I actually love this book. Elliana isn't as into it yet because it isn't as interactive and fun as the others... but this book is really special, and I can't wait for her to understand it. I think every mother should own this book.
