See Kai Run Review and Giveaway! (US and Canada)

Finding stylish shoes for your children that are comfortable and designed for a child's foot can be very difficult. I have gotten Brea many shoes that fall off every time you turn around or worse yet I find a blister on her foot after a day of play. I had almost given up hope of finding the right shoes for Brea, but then I came across See Kai Run!

See Kai Run shoes are a result of Kai's mommy who just wanted a pair of comfortable, flexible, hip shoes for her son. With a mother's love and her desire to provide the best for her son See Kai Run shoes were created! The soles of these shoes are made from extremely flexible rubber. The actual shoes are made of breathable leather and have "padded collars" (woohoo no blisters!).

See Kai Run offers three different brand names. "See Kai Run" fits children 6 months to 3 years. The "Smaller" line that fits 0-18 months. Lastly the "Eleven" line that fits 3-8 year olds.

All of their brands have a wide variety of appealing styles. There is something for everyone so head on over to See Kai Run now and take a look for yourself!

Our Opinion of See Kai Run . . .

Brea and I had the opportunity to review the Jennae shoes. I was pretty skeptical when I first received them. As I said I have tried so many different types of shoes!



Much to my surprise when I pulled the shoes out of the box I could immediately tell a difference. The soles were extremely flexible. I could actually fold the shoe in half! The material of the Jennae shoe was very soft both inside and out. The velcro closure had a cute pink flower on the side and at the toe there is a half moon cut out. Both of those features added just the right amount of class to make the shoes dressy without over doing it!

Then came time for Brea to try the shoes on much to my dismay they were way too big. I thought there was no way that I was going to be able to review them properly. Just to see what happened I went ahead and fastened the velcro to see how much give they had. Surprisingly even though they were too big they were still snug on her feet. Brea has been wearing them for more than a week with no problems! Bye Bye Blisters! The best thing is that she gets to grow into them also!

As I said Brea has been wearing the Jennae shoes for more than a week now and they are holding up great. She has played both indoors and outdoors. Just like all toddlers she has already taken a couple tumbles with the Jennaes on, but they still lock brand new! Not a scratch and easily wiped clean!

I would definitely recommend See Kai Run to my friends and family and I will be checking out their dress shoes on a regular basis now! So head on over and check them out for yourselves I promise you will not be disappointed!

Trendy Tadpole Review!

The Trendy Tadpole offers a large selection of unique and trendy onesies and tees for your baby or toddler. Regardless of whether you are looking for an ecological friendly, comical, hip or educational design they have something for everyone!

In addition to having a wide array of designs available The Trendy Tadpole uses American Apparel. This means that their onesies and tees are sweatshop free and super soft!

One important thing to note regarding American Apparel is that their clothes run small. So you may want to get a size up from what your child is usually in.

Our Opinion of The Trendy Tadpole . . .

We received the Oopsy Tee in 4T for review purposes. The shirt was extremely soft and Brea appeared to be comfortable wearing it. The shirt was a little big, but we just tucked it in her pants and it worked great. At least she will be able to wear it longer.

I did not notice much of a change after washing and drying the tee. It was still extremely soft. The shrinkage was minimal.

I would like to not that the shirts come a tad small so The Trendy Tadpole recommends buying a size larger. The only thing is that for some reason American Apparel does not appear to make size 3T. Brea currently wears 2T so I would have liked to have received the tee in 3T. The tee actually fits pretty well although it is a bit long. The best thing is that now Brea will be able to wear the tee longer so I guess it all worked out in the end!

All in all, we really liked The Trendy Tadpole and I am looking forward to buying a couple more designs in the future.

Head on over to The Trendy Tadpole and see what is available for your child!

Eebee Adventures Review and Giveaway! (US and Canada)

Eebee Adventures will capture your child's attention by showing Eebee play with normal household objects. During the course of each adventure you will also see real life toddlers participating in each activity also. Some of the activities shown in the movie include playing in cereal, playing peek-a-boo, knocking the sippy cup on the floor, fun with a flashlight and lots more.

Eebee Adventures encourages parent and child interaction by showing lots of different ways to interact with your children. One of the bonus features included on each DVD are explanations for why each activity will help promote your child's development. The best thing about this is that the activities are all expensive and mostly use items that you will already have in your home. With the current state of the economy finding inexpensive ways to interact with our children and while promoting development is crucial.

Eebee adventures also has many other products available that promote parent and child interaction. We were lucky enough to be able to review the Eebee puppet along with the dvds. There are lots of other products available and I will definitely be checking them out before Brea's next birthday!

Eebee Adventures also has a music bonus feature where each activity is shown as a music video. This is great to play while you and your child are doing some of the activities shown. Or if your child is like mine and loves music they may just enjoy watching the music videos!

Our Opinion of Eebee Adventures . . .

I love that this promotes parent and child interaction and Brea and I will definitely be trying out some of the activities. I think one of the first ones on our list would have to be the laundry play. I am hoping that while we are playing I can figure out a way to get the laundry folded too! I also love that even though it is beneficial to me it still keeps Brea occupied while I get a few things done around the house (or the blog!)

Brea appears to be fascinated with Eebee and even asks to watch it on a regular basis. Eebee usually holds her attention throughout the adventures. Although she is 22 months old so this is not always the case. I have to say that for it to hold her attention for anytime at all says a whole lot.

Brea and I both enjoy playing with the puppet. She thinks Eebee is great and usually we play a tickle game with the puppet. She loves to be "tickle"

You can buy Eebee products at Eebee.com

Giveaway Opportunity!

One lucky winner will receive the Eebee Threebee (all three Eebee DVDs!)

YoBaby Yogurt Review and Giveaway!

YoBaby yogurt takes care of all our babie's yogurt needs and more! Not only are they made with whole milk, which is very important to our little one's growth and development, but also have lots of great extras!

First our babies need whole milk products for the saturated fats and cholesterol. Yes I know that is just the things that we have been told over and over to stay away from, but up until age 2 pediatricians recommend whole milk products. Have you ever checked out other kid's yogurts on the market? Most are made with low fat and not suitable for children under age 2. To be honest I think that if you look around your yogurt section in the supermarket most yogurts are low fat. So this makes Yo Baby one of your only options that take the whole milk recommendation into account.

YoBaby yogurt is also made from organic ingredients meaning that no toxic or persistent chemicals have been used on any grains or fruits included in the cereal and the cows providing the milk have only been fed organic feed and are not given antibiotics!

YoBaby yogurt also provides products that have Iron or DHA added. Iron is important in preventing anemia and DHA is good for brain development.

Our thoughts on Yo Baby Yogurt -

First I have to say I love it for all of the reasons listed above, but lets be honest how likely is it that my child will actually eat it?

Well thanks to YoBaby I had the opportunity to find out. Yo Baby sent Brea and I two free coupons for review purposes. We chose the YoBaby Plus Fruit & Cereal with Iron. The flavors included were apple and mixed berry.

So when it was Brea's snack time I pulled out the YoBaby in mixed berry and we sat down to eat. She gobbled it down in no time and then asked for more. So then I pulled out the apple and once again she gobbled in down.

Of course while I was feeding her I became curious and had to try it myself. After all how could I truly review it if I had no idea how it actually tasted. Well I was pleasantly surprised the mixed berry tasted just like any other mixed berry yogurt and the apple has an apple cinnamon flavor and it was really yummy.

I also want to mention that they have YoBaby drinkables that you can put in sippy cups! How cool is that!

Buy it at most local grocery stores!
