Review: Tiny Love Rocker Napper

June 15, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

I received a Tiny Love Rocker Napper to review a few weeks ago. I know, I don’t actually HAVE a baby who can fit into a Rocker Napper since the weight is only up to 40 pounds. However, I have a sister who has a cute little guy I knew it would just be perfect for.  Who better to do a review of it than a busy mom who really doesn’t have time to be running up and down stairs for his nap times?

Here’s a scenario some of you have gone through. Put baby down for a nap. Forgot something downstairs.  Run downstairs.  Run back upstairs with forgotten item. Go downstairs. Baby starts crying. Run back upstairs. Soothe baby. Run downstairs. By the time you are done putting baby down for a nap you have just killed at least 20 minutes of your time.  Enter Tiny Love’s Rocker Napper, here to save YOU time, and ultimately, frustration.

Not only did I get the  Rocker Napper for her to help me review, I was even so nice as to put the Rocker Napper together for her. Well, my husband did and I helped. I usually put these things together and I figured I couldn’t actually tell you how it went together if I didn’t at least see how it went together. It is quite easy. With no more than 10 pieces and easy picture diagrams, it can be put together in less than 10 minutes.  The pieces are made out of metal and heavy duty plastic and almost everything snaps together. You WILL need a screwdriver for a few pieces.

The Rocker Napper can be used two ways. It can be used as a seat, and with one push of a button it can recline at 3 different angles, including laying flat into a small bed.  The Rocker Napper has a vibrate feature, can play 9 different tunes,  and has a cute little mobile to help keep baby entertained when you want him/her close but need your hands free.  You can either have the Rocker Napper on rockers or flip a bar down to keep it still. Again, it was fairly easy although I don’t recommend doing it with baby IN it. You could. Just doesn’t seem safe to me.

The minute we put my nephew in the Rocker Napper he was all over the mobile. He wouldn’t let go of it and was having fun talking with his new “friend”.

The best little model, my nephew!

You can check out the Tiny Love Rocker Napper HERE. They have several short videos you can watch that tell you about the Rocker Napper,  its features, and how to use it.   Right now they also have a banner on their website that you can enter for a chance to win one.

About One: Being Organized Saves Time

June 14, 2012 by · 1 Comment

It’s tax season and you can’t find those medical receipts you needed. The pharmacy is on the phone and you are looking frantically for the prescription number but the bottle isn’t where you knew you put it.  On top of that, you just pulled open the filing cabinet to pull out your back up paperwork only to find there was a paper explosion and it will take 2 hours just to  pull it all out, let alone find that one itty bitty piece of paper. Are any of these scenarios yours? I know I could give you a million more examples of situations I have been in and the stress they add to my life. Good grief, just pulling open the filing cabinet with it’s over-flowing pile of paperwork and bills is overwhelming and stressful.  About One is just the thing you need.

About One is an online organizer designed to help make keeping track of your family’s important information easier. Designed by a busy mom,  AboutOne creates easy access to important information even when you are away from home. Ever need important medical information on vacation?  Instead of the panic of trying to remember important things in an emergency, you can have the peace of knowing that the information is a few clicks away, through the internet or your mobile app.  Plus, with AboutOne’s bank level security, you don’t need to worry that someone else can access your personal information.

I just finished putting my family’s information, important contacts and health information in. Sign up was super easy and imputting the data was done in a few clicks of a button. I can’t wait until their calendar feature and documents are available so I can scan important forms into it. How easy is that? Instead of having to re-write them I hope to be able to click and print.

Check out the short video below to learn more about AboutOne and how it can help make your life easier.

Disney Baby: Magical Moments +Little Character Contest

June 11, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

A big thanks to Disney Baby for sponsoring this post and the Disney Baby “Little Character” Contest.

When I think of “magical moments” with my kids several come to mind. It’s a little harder to remember way back when they were tiny. It’s hard to believe that when they are babies you think you will never forget those precious moments. Sadly, if you don’t write them down or document them in pictures, they fade over time. One of my favorite memories was snuggling my daughter. When she was a newborn we had a lot of “skin to skin” time. It was winter. I had a c-section and spent much of my recuperating time in huge sweatshirts, curled up on the couch.

I use to tuck my little ball of a baby into my sweatshirt, on my chest, with just her little head sticking out the top of the sweatshirt. We both stayed cuddly warm and she often slept to the beat of my heart. To this day, whenever she needs comforted or is sick she still likes to be curled up on my chest. She doesn’t fit inside my sweatshirt so well anymore though. I am so proud to see the big girl she is becoming but sad to lose those sweet little baby breaths and sighs.
