​My group loved the Finlandia Cheese Sticks.  We were able to sample the Gouda & Parmesean and the Cheddar & Gruyere flavors. We all agreed that there were great flavors!  Everyone thought the flavor combinations wso different from the regular mozzarella, cheddar or colby that we are usually stuck with.  This is perfect for expanding little one's pallets, and better yet, our kids liked these too. Also, the calories count is slightly less than the typical cheese stick.  I loved that they are all natural with no GMOs or added hormones. These are perfect for an on-the-go snack or to cut up on crackers or apples. 

We tried Baby Mum-Mum Rice Rusks in the Blueberry & Goji and Sweet Potato & Carrot Flavors.  Baby Mum-Mum's are an easy to feed, all natural teething biscuit that is perfect for the baby that has started solid food and can self feed.  My little enjoyed these even though he is just getting his last teeth in.  Baby Mum-Mum Rice Rusks were a great option when I knew he just wanted something to chew on.  The rice rusks dissolve easily and are trouble-free to hold.  He really enjoyed the flavor and would ask for the 'oval cookie' whenever he wanted one.  I felt great giving Baby Mum-Mum to him knowing that they are organic and have no added sugar.  I tried both flavor myself and the  Blueberry & Goji has a light sweet and fruity flavor while the Sweet Potato & Carrot has a light sweet potato flavor.  I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a high quality, all natural teething biscuit.  We will also be trying the Toddler Mum-Mum biscuits.

This cucumber melon bath bomb smelled so good, even before I put it in the bath.  This was a great addition to a nice relaxing bath time.  The scent combined with the feel of the oils was perfect for my dry skin in the winter.  I loved that there are only seven simple ingredients.  Everything is all natural and made in the USA.  Great for a fun, relaxing, worry-free bath time.

​I used the Coconut Care lotion on my one year old son who has some patches of dry skin.  We used the lotion for several days after a bath and before bed.  First, I noticed that it smelled wonderful, a really pleasant coconut smell.  There was a little grit to the lotion that took a bit to rub in, but I just turned it into a massage.  Some small white bits were left on the skin after a while a rubbing, but came off with a soft cloth.  After several days of use my son's skin seemed to improve.  I really enjoyed the natural ingredients and how gentle and effective it is.

At eleven months old my son is just getting in his two top teeth.  He has been eating solids for a while now, but has taken a strike to vegetables now that they are not in puree form.  So, when I saw these tiny wafers, I thought they would be great to try.  My son was instantly interested in them, the bright colors and new shape and texture helped.  He was able to pick them up easily and had no trouble mashing them with only three teeth.  I'm pretty sure he ate half a box in one sitting.  For some added calories for my skinny boy, I dipped these in some hummus.  I tried one myself, they're pretty good!  

I love that these carrot wafers are all organic with an easy list of ingredients such as organic wheat flour, organic carrot puree and organic banana powder.  They are a healthy, lightweight and easy snack for around the house or on the go.  I really like that they offer a convenient way to get vegetables into my tiny human.  They also work well to practice fine motor skills with self-feeding and a great snack for teething little ones.

My son has always loved anything with apple, so I knew these apple tiny wafers from Sweetie Pie Organics would be a hit.  These wafers are a great snack on-the-go when applesauce or apple piece are too much to handle. The wafers are great for little hands and practice for self-feeding.  For a little calorie boost, I add some peanut butter.  Right now, they are wonderful for teething offering a healthy, organic alternative to some other teething treats.  

I tried one myself and the apple flavor is not overpowering and there is a bit of cinnamon taste so these are also a good way to open up flavor profiles.  I love that all of the ingredients are organic and things that I know such as organic wheat powder, organic apple juice, and organic cinnamon.  

The sweet beet wafers took a little getting used to.  They definitely have a unique flavor, not bad, but different.  These are a great for introducing different flavors to your child's palate.  We put a little cream cheese on the wafer and they were a huge hit.  Great for teething and learning how to self-feed, the wafer shape is just wonderful.  Light weight and not very messy, these are great for snacking around the house or on the go.  

I love that these are certified organic, have a full serving of vegetable and offer a great way to get veggies down my little one without a struggle.  With ingredients such as organic parsnip powder, organic beet juice and organic carrot puree I also know exactly what I am feeding my little one.

​My seven month old son has amassed a pretty good amount of bath paraphernalia in his short life and it quickly overtook space in our tiny bathroom, a storage device that did not take up a lot of room was needed. This simple mesh pouch with suction cups seemed perfect.  I quickly filled it with his selection of rubber duckies and sponges and hung it on the bathtub wall only to have it fall off about 30 seconds later.  I ended up having to mess with the suction cups for a bit, since they were really stiff.  Soaking in warm water did the trick and also soaking the area of the shower wall where I wanted to hang it.  Simple, space saving, it does the trick.

I received size two Seventh Generation Free and Clear Baby Diapers for my seven month-old son.  He is about 16 pounds and long and lean, these diapers gave him really good coverage for his body shape.  While we usually cloth diaper, we do use disposables while on the go.  I love that these are an environmentally friendly option that are chlorine free and have a wood pulp 'fluff.'  He wore them for several hours while out and about during the day without any skin irritation, blowouts or leaks.  I also tried them on an overnight with about six hours of uninterrupted sleep and they held up!  A great option for those who want to be environmentally conscious and with a super cute forest friends design!

I used the Seventh Generation Free and Clear Laundry detergent for my seven month-old's laundry.  He has sensitive skin and 'free and clear' detergents tend to work best for him.  I did a wash of our cloth diapers and a wash of clothes to test out this detergent.  I have a high efficiency washer and do most wash in cold water.  For the cloth diapers, I did need to use a double dose of the detergent to get the smell out, but otherwise the diapers were clean, no stains and did not irritate his skin when worn again.  For his clothes a single dose worked fine and got out food stains that had been pre-treated. Most of all, I enjoyed that we had no skin issues and that this 97% bio-based detergent is better for the Earth.
