Nuby Sip and Snack Feeding Set Review!


Sip and Snack Feeding Set

Sponsered Post
The Nuby Sip & Snack Feeding Set is the perfect set for all little ones. It includes 2 No-Spill Flip-it cups and 2 awesome snack keepers. Personally I think that these snack keepers are a MUST have item.

The No-Spill Flip-It cups have a super soft straw which is made of silicone that is easily covered with a handy flip top. I love the flip top because it keeps the straw clean when not in use. The straw is perfect for tender gums and for those little ones with new teeth poking through. The best part is that the straw is leak resistant and only passes liquid when your little one sucks on the straw. These cups are super easy for my one year old to pack around. He prefers using a straw over other cups!

The Nuby Snack Keeper is a perfect container for your little ones snacks. It has soft flaps that hold snacks in but prevents them from being spilled all over the floor if tipped upside down. My little guy loves packing this around with his favorite snacks. It is very easy for him to use and great for us because it prevents huge snack time messes! It is also 100% BPA FREE!

These awesome Nuby items come in a variety of fun colors!

Tortle Review

Every baby is at risk of positional plagiocephaly or torticollis. Torticollis is also called flat head syndrome. Approximitly 48% of babies develop the condition to some degree. This condition is very preventable and treatable but the best option is always prevention!
I was recently introduced to a new product to help prevent this condition. The Tortle is a beanie that is totally comfortable for babies to wear that slightly repositions babys head when they are sitting or lying on their back to help prevent Torticollis and Plagiocephaly.
Tortle_backofhead.jpgDr Jane is the master mind behind this product. She named it the Tortle after the condition Torticollis and  after the turtle (or tortoise). A tortoise shells purpose is to shape and protect the body of the turtle, just as the Tortle helps to shape and protect the roundness of an infant’s head.

One of the best parts of this device is that it is 100% machine washable. I would recommend having 2 to rotate with while one is in the wash. Tortle comes in 3 different sizes to fit your baby's head. It is recommended that babies wear the Tortle through the first 6 months of life. Tortle also comes in a couple of different colors/designs.Tortle_leftear.jpg
"Tortle is an FDA-cleared Class I medical device to help prevent flat head syndrome. It’s a natural way to encourage healthy head and neck motion, without any of the suffocation risks of repositioning pillows or wedges."
Tortle is made from 95% cotton, 5% spandex. The support roll is made from a non-toxic foam.
Tortle is made of high quality materials. Tortle would make a great gift to any new mom.

Tortle can be ordered HERE for $19.99
If you purchase all 3 sizes today you can save $5.

DISNEYNATURE: Wings Of Life DVD REVIEW

Sponsered Post
 
 Disneynature Wings of Life DVD/BluRay combo pack was recently released. We received our very own copy of the Blu Ray and were amazed at the beautiful up close shots that Disneynature captured in this film. We loved that we were able to see up close and personal with these insects. It gives a whole new outlook on these creatures. We highly recommend this film to other nature lovers!


 

LIFE BLOOMS THIS SPRING WITH DISNEYNATURE

WINGS OF LIFE” LANDS ON BLU-RAY® COMBO PACK,
DIGITAL AND ON DEMAND APRIL 16, 2013
BURBANK, Calif. (March 8, 2013) — Spring is in the air—literally—as Disneynature prepares to unveil “Wings of Life,” a spectacular, closer-than-close, high-definition look at the intricate world of butterflies, hummingbirds, bees and bats, and their life-sustaining collaboration with flowers. Directed by Louie Schwartzberg (“America’s Heart & Soul”) and narrated by Academy Award® winner Meryl Streep, “Wings of Life” will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack, Digital and On Demand on April 16, 2013—just in time for Earth Day.
“In the chaos and craziness of our day-to-day lives, few of us stop to consider what’s happening behind the scenes in nature that makes our lives possible,” said Streep. “This film is a stunning adventure that literally takes flight alongside all kinds of winged creatures—butterflies, bees and bats—each working hard to pollinate our planet.”
Said Schwartzberg, “For me, the joy of doing this film is to be able to explore worlds that humans can’t easily experience—bats sipping nectar in the middle of the desert at night, orchid bees expertly manipulated by a bucket orchid, exotic hummingbirds flying like airborne dancers, and a clustering monarch colony with millions of butterflies. I hope to share the spectacle of nature and to spark in others the sense of wonder I have about the natural world.”
Employing multiple cameras, both time-lapse and high-speed cinematography and extraordinary patience (while nature took its time unfolding), filmmakers shot on location in more than a dozen areas, ranging from the El Rosario Preserve in Michoacán, Mexico, to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument Park in Arizona. “Wings of Life” features extraordinary imagery shot with digital cameras—one capable of frame rates of up to 1500 frames per second, and the use of a pinhole lens, which allowed the
cameraman to get within millimeters of an insect subject while retaining a clear view of the background. The resulting imagery—intimate and breathtaking—is brought to life for audiences through spectacular high-definition picture and sound quality.
To celebrate the debut ofWings of Life,” Disneynature has made a contribution to the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund (DWCF) to protect pollinators worldwide. The DWCF has already supported more than 20 projects across North America focused on protecting pollinators and their habitats. Grants have helped conservationists save endangered butterflies, expand habitat for honeybees and educate children about the importance of pollinators and how they can help protect them.
The “Wings of Life” Blu-ray Combo Pack includes a sneak peek at Disneynature’s 2014 big-screen adventure “Bears.” In an epic story of breathtaking scale set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop teeming with life, the film, which is currently in production, follows two mother grizzly bears as they impart life lessons to their impressionable young cubs.
ABOUT THE MOVIE:
From Disneynature, the studio that brought you Earth, Oceans, African Cats and Chimpanzee, comes Wings of Life — a stunning adventure full of intrigue, drama and mesmerizing beauty. Narrated by Meryl Streep, this intimate and unprecedented look at butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, bats and flowers is a celebration of life, as a third of the world’s food supply depends on these incredible — and increasingly threatened — creatures.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg, Wings of Life utilizes riveting high-speed, time lapse and macro filmmaking to showcase in spectacular detail these unsung heroes of our planet.
