Seventh Generation review for the Potty Time Party!

Now we know that along with potty training we know there are lots of accidents. So I was also looking for eco-friendly products to assist with this part of potty training. When I came across Seventh Generation I just had to try it! They have everything you need for potty training from disposable training pants to all purpose cleaner.

Seventh Generation is a company that provides safe, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly household cleaners, baby care items, paper supplies (toilet paper, papertowels), and even feminine care items! As mom to a toddler I realize that I need to start thinking more about the products I use and the effect they have on the environment. While these effects may not take place during my time on Earth they very well may effect my child's future. ( Denial is so much easier before children since of course they may very well take place during my lifetime!)

They offer. . .
Chlorine free baby products
Plant and vegetable based laundry detergents
Chlorine free bleach
Non-toxic, biodegradable, hypoallergenic household cleaners
Recycled paper products
Recycled trash bag
Chlorine free feminine wipes
Non-toxic dishwashing products

My opinion of Seventh Generation . . .

I was lucky enough to receive Seventh Generation chlorine free training pants, chlorine free wipes, baby laundry liquid detergent, and the natural all purpose cleaner for review purposes!

The Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Training Pants were 3T-4T so I am unable to provide an accurate review of these at this time.

The Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Wipes were wonderful. They were soft and gentle on Brea's bottom and appeared to cause less distress when Brea had a diaper rash than other wipes that I have used in the past.

The Seventh Generation Baby Laundry Liquid Detergent greatly exceeded my expectations. I have been swimming with Brea on a daily basis due to swim classes and I had bathing suits and towels still in the tote bag from a couple of days ago. I know that is not a good thing! They had started to get that mildew, musty smell. Usually I would have washed them twice before drying to make sure that the smell was gone, but I figured this was a perfect way to test the Baby Laundry Liquid Detergent. So they went through the washer once and then straight to the dryer. I did not have high hopes for this one as nothing has taken that smell out with just one wash. I am happy to report that it worked and when I removed my swimsuits and towels from the dryer they smelled nice and fresh!

The Seventh Generation Natural All Purpose Cleaner was another product that I originally had my doubts about. After all how well can something that is safe for our environment and Non-toxic actually clean. I tested this out on Brea's High Chair first and it removed all the yucky food with just a wipe. Now when I go to grab a cleaner to wipe down the counters or tables the Natural All Purpose Cleaner is my first pick! The fact that it isn't poisonous and helps save our environment makes it all the more better!

All in all, Seventh Generation is a product I can feel good about using. I would definitely recommend this to other people who are interested in helping save our environment and preserving the Earth for our children and theirs!

Potty Topper Review and giveaway for the potty time party!


Thanks for joining the party!




Today I have another fantastic potty review to share with you! I am sure most of you have heard of the tabletopper by neat solutions, but did you also know that they have a potty topper. These potty toppers prevent your little ones from picking up germs off the toilet seat. They have 2 small strips of adhesive that prevent the potty topper from moving while your child is sitting on it. They are also oversized which help keep little hands off of the sides of the toilets. And to prevent that wetness from soaking threw thanks to the person who went before you the potty topper has a plastic liner! Don't worry it is "BPA-Free, PVC-Free, phthalate-Free"

My opinion on the potty topper . . .

Well to be honest I had no idea how this was going to work. 1. My toddler does not exactly sit on a toilet seat by herself and would definitely fall in. 2. A plastic liner sounds really uncomfortable. I still wanted to give it a shot because if I was wrong I didn't want to miss out.

Well I am glad I did! It is true that Brea is not big enough to sit on an adult potty by herself, but it was pretty easy to hold her on it while she tried to go. Recently I have also noticed that many family bathrooms have a smaller potty for toddlers in them in addition to an adult potty. The Potty Topper would work well on these too.

The adhesive strips kept the potty topper in place while Brea tried to go and it was easy to remove when we were done!

For those of you who have older children the size of the potty topper will keep hands away from the toilet. They will be able to hold themselves onto the potty with the potty topper still under their hands!

Lastly I also think it is perfect for me! I have went in many bathrooms that I was scared to sit on the potty. Thanks to the potty topper I can use these pottys with confidence that I am also being protected!

My recommendation is pick up some potty toppers and keep them close you never know when you will need them for your child or even for yourself! They do the job keeping your bottom dry and away from potty germs!

Peter Rabbit Organics Giveaway Ends Tonight!

Just wanted to send out a reminder that the Peter Rabbit Organics giveaway ends in 2 hours! Good luck everyone.

Cool Gear Travel Potty Review and Giveaway for Potty Time Party!



One problem that I have come across while potty training is that we are on the go alot! I needed something that was easy to carry around with us and easy to use. I know that some people carry around regular potty chairs, but they are just too big and bulky for me. So when I came across the Coolgear Travel Potty I just had to try it out! I was really excited when Coolgear gave me the opportunity to share their product with all of my readers!



Coolgear's travel potty folds up into a little carrying case making it easy to carry around. It has a storage compartment on each side where you could store baggies, toilet paper, wipes, and other potty neccessities. Instead of having a bowl that needs to be cleaned with each use you use gallon size baggies and just toss them when finished!

My opinion of Coolgear's travel potty . . .

I love the convenience and portablity of the Coolgear Travel Potty. I also love that it uses baggies that you can just toss and I don't have to worry about finding a sink and soap to clean the bowl.

The Coolgear travel potty is made of sturdy plastic which appears to hold up well with toddlers sitting on it. Brea does not appear uncomfortable when she is sitting on it!

The seat fits over the plastic bag to hold it into place and the handle folds down to lock the seat into place preventing messes from the bag falling out! This is a must have no one wants to clean that mess up!

All in all the Coolgear Travel Potty is a must have for any potty training parent!

Buy it at Travel Potty Chair
