Progresso Light Soups Review & Giveaway!!! #ProgressOh! #MyBlogSpark!

I have always loved soup!! My husband is not a big soup lover (more of a meat and potatoes man) so I have to take the soup where I can get it! Most of the time it is lunch time or when I just decide that I really want soup so I will make it for dinner. I know that there are days that I don't feel like making home made soup so it is wonderful to have a good backup in my pantry!  The day after I received my package it was cold, snowy, and miserable outside so it was a wonderful day to try out my new soups. I tried the chicken pot pie soup and it was wonderful! I LOVE chicken pot pie so to have a soup that tastes the same is wonderful!

The ProgressOh soup only has 100 calories so it is a great light and healthy lunch or dinner. No need to feel guilty about the extra calories! So if you are dieting or just wanting to have a  light and healthy lunch ProgressOh soup is the way to go!!

We all live for those little moments of Oh! when we look and feel our best. The feeling of Oh! when you button up your favorite old jeans...and they fit! Or the Oh! you get from your friends when you walk into a room confidently sporting a new dress! Those moments of Oh! are some of the best of our lives! When's the last time you had one of those moments? Who's said Oh! lately in your life?

And of course there's the Oh! satisfaction when you discover a delicious ally that helps you beat diet boredom – Progresso® soup! With 40 delicious flavors at 100 calories or less per serving, you are sure to find a soup that makes you say Oh!

BOBA wrap prints-review & Giveaway!!!

I am a big proponent of holding your baby as much as possible, especially in the first few months of life instead of leaving them in car seats, bouncers, swings, etc. Don't get me wrong! I LOVE having swings, bouncers, strollers, etc......I really do. Especially with having 2 speedy little boys to keep up with. But there is just something about holding your little one close to you, breathing in their intoxicating scent, loving on them, kissing their fuzzy little heads, and keeping them close and safe from harm right against your body. There is something to be said about the powerful effects that touch, being held, and skin-to-skin contact have on babies/children.  Feeling mommy's warmth,  hearing/feeling their heartbeat and voice, it is very important for babies to feel secure in their new and overwhelming world.

The BOBA wrap works from preemie/newborn up to 35lbs. So it can be used for many many years......my 4 year old son it about 35 lbs so you could easily use it with a 3+ year old (Ideal weight for it though is up to about 18 months)!  It is made out of a high quality knit woven fabric with a touch of spandex for durability, clinging support, and shape retention.  It's free of buckles, straps or snaps so there is no where that will rub your little ones skin. Unlike other wraps, the fabric does not stretch and sag with use (how to prevent a sagging baby) so you can keep your little one at a safe angle on your body and secure at your chest.The BOBA wrap is made to where you can wear your little one all day long if needed and still be comfortable.  It can be machine washed and dried and has different carry options for different ages of kiddos.

Back when my eldest son was a baby I was given a Mobi wrap as a baby gift. I liked it well enough, but it was so hard to get it tied to where it was snug when I put the baby in. It was always too loose when I put him in and it wasn't stretchy where I could tie it and put him in and not have to re-tie it again. The BOBA wrap is SO much easier to get your baby in with the stretchy fabric because you can have everything tied as tight as it needs to be and still be able to get your little one inside and comfy.

With the BOBA Wrap you only need to learn one basic tie. There are other options of you want to expand your options but the basic hold works great. Once you can tie it snug against your body with no twists you have already become a master. The joy of the BOBA Wrap is that your baby will fit inside without you having to guess how much room to leave so that the baby won't be held too high or too low on your chest. Tying the wrap perfectly may take a couple of practices but after you get it down its a cinch. Practice makes perfect......you will find the right fit for you and your baby. It will become as easy and common place as tying your shoelaces. Stick with it, it's definitely worth it!
 

I very much love the "Ocean" BOBA wrap!! It is so soft, the color is gorgeous, it is easy to use once you get the hang of it, and it is so very comfortable!

  Features:

• 95% cotton 5% spandex (high quality French Terry material)
• Front & infant hold
• Supports up to 35lbs
• Hands-free Availability
• Ideal for breastfeeding
• Machine washable
• Simple no-guess tying

Length: 5.5 yards long
Width: 19 Inches   At the moment the BOBA wrap only comes in one print (I'm sure that there are more to come!!). The "Ocean" print wrap sells for $59.95 HERE. You can also get it in 13 solid colors for $48 each and 2 different organic colors for $65 each. The wrap also comes with a matching carry bag and a big instruction booklet for the different carry positions!!

The worlds lightest carrier-The BOBA AIR!!!!

Babywearing.......I love babywearing. I love the way that my little man snuggles right in to the sound of my beating heart and is comfy and safe on my chest (or back) For the longest time I have raved about the Boba 2G & 3G baby carrier......It is the most comfortable carrier that I have tried and love everything about it!

And once again BOBA has hit the nail on the head with their new baby carrier, the BobaAir!!! For the longest time I have wanted a baby carrier that was super lightweight for camping, hiking, and just for keeping in the diaper bag. I love being able to have a carrier in the diaper bag (not taking up the whole thing) and not having to remember one every time we go out. The BobaAir is simple to use, ultra lightweight and ergonomic! The perfect carrier for travelers or any parent on the go – when you’re done, just fold, zip & stash. 

The BobaAir is very simple to use, comfortable to wear, and so very compact for travel. You just strap it on like any other soft structured baby carrier and you are good to go. It's the perfect carrier for world travelers or really any parent on the go – when you’re done all you have to do is fold it up, zip the (built in) pouch closed & stash away in your backpack or diaper bag. 

What I love about it:

-First of all I love that it is so compact and easy to use. It is so easy to get in and out of its pouch and zips up nice and tight. I love the fact that I can take it with me, stash it in the cart or stroller and when he needs some snuggles or just to be close I have it right close by without taking up tons of space.

-I love that it weighs less than a pound (0.7lbs to be exact) you can throw it in your purse and still have room for everything else.

- Like the other Boba carriers the waist straps are nice and long so that extensions are not needed for larger (or pregnant) wearers.

-I love that the price is more reasonable for people that wouldn't be able to afford a nice baby carrier. It runs for $65 and is definitely worth the money.

-You can never loose the pouch because it folds into the pocket that you would normally store the hood in.....One less thing to keep up with!! It also is truly easy to fold up, unlike many other things that say you will be able to stick them right back in the package but know just by looking at it that it will never fit back in.

-I love that it is water resistant so that if we are out and about and its raining I can keep my little man as dry as possible while still getting things done.

What I am not too crazy about:

-I do love a carrier that can be used with an infant. The BobaAir can not be used with infants unlike the 3G which you very easily can.

-It has no padding so it isnt as comfortable as the 3G. I am not saying that it is uncomfortable at all, just not as cushy as the 3G. I never really got back aches with it. It just isn't like your baby is floating on air on your back like the 3G.

-The BobaAir doesn't really breathe any better than the 3G. It is 100% Nylon so it is VERY easy to clean and extremely durable. It would be nice if they could put some sort of mesh part or something that was breathable. D tends to sometimes get sweaty when I am carrying him in this carrier.

Features:

• 100% Nylon
• Front and back carry options
• Sleeping hood included
• Large zipper pouch for on-the-go storage
• Comfortably fits heights 5'0" – 6'3"
• Waistband range: 27" – 55"
• Elastic bands neatly roll up straps
• Easily adjustable chest strap
• Uniquely designed to "hug" your child
• Body of carrier rises 16"
• High quality military grade buckles

The BobaAir is available in black and retails for $65.

Rubbermaid LunchBlox Review

As a Mom of a school age kiddo and wife to an amazing man that goes to work every day......making lunches is a daily occurrence. Bringing a lunch from home can save so much money!! Going out to eat every day can be horribly expensive. Finding the perfect size containers in my random assortment of different sized containers can sometimes be complicated. You dont want something that is too big.....but you have to be able to fit everything in there and often time I need more than one compartment. This is where the Rubbermaid LunchBlox come in. The LunchBlox make it so much easier to be creative and to switch things up a bit. You can send lunch on the big container and snack in the smaller ones and keep everything separate. It also works great for salad, salad dressing, and toppings so that nothing gets soggy.

We received the Rubbermaid LunchBlox Sandwich Kit, which includes 2 Snack Containers (.5 cup capacity), 1 Side Container (1.2 cup capacity), 1 Sandwich Container (2.6 cup capacity) and 1 Medium Blue Ice.

The Rubbermaid LunchBlox makes packing a lunch even easier than ever. These containers snap together in multiple configurations to efficiently use the space in your lunch box or bag. They are perfectly portioned for your favorite lunch foods with handy measurements on the sides of each container. Your lunch stays chilled with snap in Blue Ice™. Individual containers are sold separately from kits so you can configure a different way everyday.

For the last three weeks I have been using these containers for my husbands lunch. I usually send leftovers from the night before, a side, and s quarter for a drink. These containers work so nicely because they all snap together and even have a buily in ice pack to keep everything cold.

The LunchBlox are very durable, BPA Free, Dishwasher safe, freezer safe, and microwave safe.

Want some of your own?? Head over to Rubbermaid and get one of your own! The whole set is $12.99 and well worth the price for how convenient it is!

TOMY John Deere Monster Treads Line Review & Giveaway

With two little boys in the house tractors are a huge hit here. In fact my youngest son loves them so much that his room is decorated with John Deere......Driving through town almost all I hear from D (who is 1) is "tactor tactor!!!" every time that we see one. So needless to say when the John Deere Monster Treads Gator arrived at our door there was happiness all around!

What is cooler than a regular tractor than a shaking tractor with roaring engine noises??? For a 1 year old and an almost 4 year old not much! The thing that I LOVE about this tractor is that the tires are soft rubber and not hard plastic. like most other tractors......because even though they know not to throw the tractor, it will happen. The soft tires just bounce on the ground and don't hurt when you kick it walking through the dark house in the middle of the night. Also the tires actually have real suspension and so when you press the red button to make it shake.....it really shakes! If you push the tractor while pushing the button it looks like it should driving over a rocky mountain road.

One of my sons favorite things on his Gator (besides the shaking and engine sounds) is that you can put things on the cargo box on the back and dump them off. Works great for moving dirt and making big messes :)

The John Deere Monster Treads line come in two different options. You can get the Gator (which I received) and the Combine.  Both of them are awesome looking and the PERFECT gift for your son, kids friend, or really anyone!  They are so much fun, hold up GREAT to LOTS of abuse, being left outside, filled with dirt, and so much more. 

To get one of your own you can head over to TOMY , Amazon, or you can also find them in store at WalMart and Toys R' Us. You can find them from $17.99 to $19.99.
