Wean Green Garden Pack Lunch Cubes Glass Food Containers
Within the last year I discontinued using plastic containers and made the switch to glass. However, I was in need of small "travel size" containers for salad dressing, yogurt, as well as children's snacks. The cubes (and bowls) are perfect for my needs! These little gems are perfect for our on-the-go family of 5. I love the Garden Pack because with 4 colors I can easily keep track of any missing containers. I "assign" a color to each child (and hubby) so if I notice a certain color is missing then I know who to go to!

I love all of the Wean Green glass snack containers and was excited to replace my son's Lunchbot with this sandwich container. Well, I can fit half a sandwich and some carrot sticks in theWean sandwich container. It's cute, but it really needs to be larger to be a true sandwich container.Read Best Reviews of Wean Green Garden Pack Lunch Cubes Glass Food Containers Here
These are perfect sized containers for kids. They do hold a "regular" sized sandwich if you cut off the crusts (which works out well since my kids don't like the crust much anyway we just crumble it up and feed it to the birds). With that said, I don't typically send my kids with sandwiches. Instead I fill half the container with veggies and the other half with a little rice and meat. A kid sized, balanced meal all in one container. I really prefer the multi-colored four packs because I can designate a color for everyone (makes keeping track of them very simple). I also have the coordinating cubes and bowls these smaller sizes are great for so many things.Want Wean Green Garden Pack Lunch Cubes Glass Food Containers Discount?
These containers are great for storing baby food especially in the freezer. I love the way the tops 'lock' would recommend this product for sure!
KF Baby Diaper Bag Insert Organizer (12 x 6.4 x 8 inch, Black) + Diaper Changing Pad Value Combo
This is such a great organizer! It is large enough to fit most hobo and travel bags. I love how you can put it into practically any regular bag and you are a chic Momma! I ordered this because I didn't want to buy the cheesy diaper bag. Now I can stylishly carry all my babies/my needs!
Anyway, I got this insert to fit into a nice 'adult' longchamp bag and it is perfect! The pockets are great and it fits perfectly with room on the side for my diaper pad.Love this insert. I spent a hefty amount on several large handbags before having babies so instead of buying a separate diaper bag I wanted to make use of what I had. This insert fit perfectly and I love the different sized compartments...each serves a purpose. I didn't give 5 stars only because the material wasn't as great (tote bag material) but it gets the job done I suppose.Smells funny and some things end up falling through the open bottoms. Needs to be in a purse with a flat bottomHow did I live without this for so long? I immediately pinged all my mama friends and alerted them that they don't have to be doomed to wearing the same diaper bag every day. This is a brilliant invention. It fits perfectly in my Longchamp with nice pockets for diapers, wipes, toys, extra clothes, and my wallet. I stick a changing pad along the side and can easily slide it in and out. I recommend it for anyone who wants handbag diversity during baby-toting time!
Weil Baby Tritan Bottle, Twin Pack, Stage 1
We bought these because of the unique venting feature, made in the USA, BPA free and convertible into sippy cup. Within a month or so, we noticed small cracks developing on the outside of the bottom of the bottle. We thought it might be from putting them in the bottle warmer (although we did not read anything about not putting them into the warmer) so we started putting water in them the night before so that the water was room temperature. Recently, we sent them to the sitter's and found the whole diaper bag soaking the small cracks turned into one large crack rendering it completely unusable. All in all, disappointed with what we thought was a good product.UPDATE: We contacted Dr. Weil's to find out if cracking was a common problem or unique to us. The rep was very accommodating and tried very hard to resolve the issue. In addition to collecting a great deal of information to determine the cause of the cracking, the rep offered to replace the bottles. We have yet to receive them, but will definitely give the company another shot. It is clear that they are committed to making a good product and customer service.

very happy with the WeilBaby bottles (used freeborn for the first 6 months): beautiful design and colors, few pieces to wash, easy to put together, no leaks if assembled properly (which is super easy) and the vent system works great!Want Weil Baby Tritan Bottle, Twin Pack, Stage 1 Discount?
I have been very happy with this newborn starter set. We have tried Dr. Browns, Avent, Medela and Dr. Weil. The only bottle our baby girl likes to drink out of is the Dr. Weil's bottles. I haven't had any quality issues with them at all, and they are super easy to clean. Bonus they are made in the USA. It's also nice to have the glass option for home and the tritan option for when we are out and about, and I like knowing that it is non-toxic with no BPA, Phalates, etc. I would definitely recommend giving them a try.
Freezer Tray 2-Pack
One of my trays broke after only a few uses because the plastic is too brittle and shattered when I was trying to get the cubes out. I had high hopes for the product and loved the dishes that go with it. I will continue to use the 1 tray I have left and see how long it lasts.
Several reviews here mention that they are very stiff and it's hard to get the cubes out. The plastic is sturdy (and I like that) but I notice no difference between the ease of popping food cubes out of these vs. regular ice cube trays frozen food is hard to pop out, that's just a fact. All you have to do is run a little water over the back side for a few seconds, then turn them out with a little tap/twist/shake I do the same thing with my regular ice cube trays. They also clean up beautifully and quickly (and are dishwasher safe).
Another great thing about these trays is that they are BPA/Phthalate free. This is important to me.
Note that on the KidCo website (makers of these trays) they state that each section is approximately 1 ounce not 2 ounces as mentioned in some reviews here and in one of the product descriptions here on amazon.I was pleasantly surprised at the number of products Babies R Us carries for making and storing home mad baby food, and found these trays (though the matching bowl was out of stock).
I like the fact that these have covers, which makes the stackable and helps maximize freezer space, and are BPA free. The fact that you can write on them means little to me as I would never use them for long term storage and if I just cooked the food the day before I am pretty sure I can remember what it is for when I transfer it to a ziploc baggie. The shaped cubes fitting in the matching bowl is cute too. The problem with this product is, I've already cracked one of them trying to twist them to get the food out. They are too brittle and don't release the cubes. That being said, after I cracked the first one, I ran the second one under warm water for a second and the cubes released. That is all well and good but the first one was already broken. Kidco is going to replace it though, I just spoke to their customer service and I have to send a picture of the cracked one and they will send me a new one. A warning on the box would be helpful in avoiding this situation.
I also bought at Wilton silicone baking sheet with small square cubes, and it is easier to get the cubes out but they are only about 1/2 oz. each which is too small. The thought struck me to use silicone muffin pans instead. This is what I am going to do from now on. If you have a beginning eater, you can use mini muffin pans, and if you have a child who is eating more, you can use the standard size muffin pan. By placing a cooling rack between each muffin pan, you can easily stack these on top of one another in the freezer. And when you don't need them to make baby food you can use them to bake muffins and cupcakes.

I bought this item and I use regular ice cube trays as well. With both, I have to run hot water over the bottom of the trays for a few seconds before trying to pop out the frozen food, and then it's no problem getting the food out. I like using this tray with the smaller serving trays. The covers fit nice and snug and stack nicely in the freezer as opposed to using trays without covers which you have to wrap with plastic wrap and cannot stack. I highly recommend this item!!Want Freezer Tray 2-Pack Discount?
Awful, awful, awful. If I could give them zero stars, I would. The very first time I tried to remove food from one, it broke. I twisted it, as you do with ice cube trays, and it snapped right in two. I wasn't even twisting very hard. The plastic is just way too hard for this purpose. I went out to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought some covered ice cube trays that have eight cubes all in a single row, and they're fantastic. They're much more flexible and take up half the room for the same number of cubes. They were only $2.99 each. These Kidco trays are bulky and brittle and not worth the money. Avoid them at all cost!

I bought these after realizing the original mesh nets were not so easy to clean and stained after several uses. These are cheap enough that I can replace them often.

Naturepedic - No-Compromise Organic Waterproof Pad Queen
This product asked for star ratings as a toy it's not a toy but a mattress protector.After spending quite a bit on a natural latex mattress and organic wool mattress topper, my husband and I realized that there was nothing but the fitted sheet to protect the bed from our cats. We have not had any recent problems, but in the past there have been times of family visiting or parties at the house that have stressed the cats so much they have not been brave enough to find the litter box and for whatever reason the bed is their next choice. This was terribly annoying but bearable with a 15 year old metal innerspring mattress and a lot of cleaning unthinkable for our new investment in a good night's sleep.
I read several reviews on other websites for this mattress protector. It was about the only queen-sized protector I could find that wasn't plastic and after spending so much time ensuring our new bed was as chemical free as possible, it seemed a crime to cheap out at the last minute. This protector is made of organic cotton.
I washed this item following the instructions on the package. It's machine washable and shrinks down in the dryer quite a bit to actually fit on the bed. In my case, it shrunk perhaps 1/2" too much on each side, but it still fits the bed well. It seemed very absorbent while washing/drying, requiring two spin cycles and two dryer cycles to dry completely.
So far it has not been called to action yet, but based on the absorbency during its cleaning I'm sure it will do its job if the time comes.
**USE UPDATE**
After drying this in the dryer a second time, it shrunk a bit further. It still fits but I may line dry it from now on to avoid further shrinkage or possibly keep drying it in the dryer to see how much it shrinks!
My new kitten did pee on our bed and in spite of being whisked away immediately it did make it all the way through the sheets. This caught all of the pee (not a lot, she's not a big kitten) that soaked through the sheets I would estimate a tablespoon or so. No sign of soak through and the mattress is safe I would imagine this will take a lot more abuse than a small animal can dish out. Washed up perfectly, no odors. A lifesaver!
(PS We also put an extra kitty litter in the house which has been effective in eliminating the peeing behavior)
*the above ratings refer to toys, which was not pertinent to this product.
Buy Naturepedic - No-Compromise Organic Waterproof Pad Queen Now
I bought this pad for our bed to protect it from any accidents (bed sharing with our baby at times) and just to put a layer or two between us and the chemicals that are likely still in the mattress, and also to protect the mattress from bacteria, etc. This pad is exactly what I wanted, no crinkling or rustling noises when we move around, and it stays in place. This is likely because of the uniqueness of the design, with thick cotton flannel on both top and bottom (polyurethane in the middle). I looked around at many polyurethane membrane pads, but this is the only one I found where the polyurethane is actually completely covered by cotton. It's just right, it has a nice firm thickness to it, and it smooths over the little divets on the top of the mattress (the top is sort of quilted) making it even better for our needs since we bed share with our baby. It shrunk to just fit our queen mattress. I dried it on tumble (no heat) because we don't have a low heat setting, and it did take quite a few cycles to dry this way. Hopefully we won't need to wash it that much. I'm guessing the price of this pad is so high because of the organic cotton, which really didn't matter all that much to me, but the testing that Naturpedic does for off gassing did matter. I tried to research polyurethane laminate vs polyurethane foam (which does off gas, for example), but I couldn't find much information. So, I opted for this pad partly because it's been testing for off gassing, and partly for the design.It's easy to put on/take off. No odor coming out of the package.
The only con is that one of the elastic straps started to come apart a bit where is attaches to the cover after I washed it (following the instructions), but this was likely due to the pad getting all tangled up in the straps and then spun out in the washer while it was tangled. I'm a seamstress and I can easily replace the strap if it comes off completely, but even then I wouldn't be all that upset because I like the pad so much.

I have been really satisfied with the quality of this cover made of organic material and free of PVC/vinyl or other toxic materials. It is well-made, thick and sturdy enough. Unlike most plastic-lined covers, it lets your skin breathe. It does not make you sweat nor does it give that uncomfortable feeling of "sliding" on your mattress. I washed it in the washing machine before use safely, but would not recommend the dryer, just let it air dry on a clothes line. Since we cannot afford to buy organic mattresses, it is nice to have a barrier between our fire-retardant-laden mattress and us. I will buy a few more for our other beds soon!Want Naturepedic - No-Compromise Organic Waterproof Pad Queen Discount?
Overall I'm very happy with this waterproof mattress pad protector it does what it is supposed to do. We purchased this to protect our new gel infused memory foam mattress (which the warranty is voided if the mattress gets wet), and we have been using it for 3 months now. I did try other, cheaper waterproof mattress pad protectors before settling on this one, and I was not happy with any of them since it felt like I was laying on a plastic bag, and sounded like I was lying on a plastic bag with every move. The beauty of this one being made from organic materials is that it feels just like I am sleeping on a regular pad, which really makes it worth the extra money.While we have not yet spilled anything on the mattress, I did pour a full cup of water on the pad right before I washed it for the first time, and sure enough, none of the liquid bleed or seeped through to the other side, which was quite impressive. I did put it in the dryer as we wanted to sleep on it that night and I noticed that it did shrink a little as it no longer hangs over the sides of the mattress, but it still covers the whole thing. I will not put it in the dryer again however.
As far as its breathability is concerned, I find myself sweating no more or no less than I did before, so I think it allows your skin to breathe quite nicely. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I use an adjustable bed frame, and I find the elastic straps that hold the pad in place do not work very well with the constant adjusting of the frame. The pad does not move when the frame moves, so every couple of days I have to lift up the bottom sheet and pull up the mattress pad so that it once again covers the top of the mattress and to smooth out all the extra fabric that bunches up at my torso. I am still trying to figure out a way to fix this problem, but right now I just work around it as I do like the pad protector.
Naturepedic Waterproof Flat Cradle Pad, 18x36
I bought these mattress pads for the cradle and crib. There is no odor, they are flat and warm. Organic with a food grade polyethylene core. Overall I am really happy with it but the sizing is inconsistent. Some are a bit short others long. Doesn't really matterthey are superior to anything else.

This is not what i intended to order. for $40 dollars i thought I was ordering a real mattress pad at least an inch thick. NOT!!! this is a thick *sheet* that goes over a mattress. The sheet itself is sturdy, but there really is no purpose for it in a crib or cradle because its not a fitted sheet and its not a blanket either. **sigh**
Ju-Ju-Be Be Neat Bib
I have bought a million bibs (or at least it feels like it) with three kids and this is the first bib I actually love. The magnet is a million times better than Velcro and its reversible. I can wipe off any mess and with the food catcher my floors have half a chance to stay clean. I love it.
I bought the one that looks white with the blue star... Well, FYI it's not white but silver.
I like the magnet closure, my baby has a harder time removing it.
Update:
Initially I gave thisbib 4 stars, I had to take 3 off because by 8 1/2 months my baby can easily pull and remove this bib, plus the bib gets easily stained. The pocket is just ok.
Would not recommend.I was REALLY hesitant to pay this much for a bib...but I really wanted 1 cute bib to match my diaper bag. Well...This is the BEST bib...and it is SO cute! The magnet clasps are so awesome (my girl hate the velcro and hates putting ON the bib so the magnenet is super fast.) it's big enought to cover her whole top, and it never stains. Plus it's super thin so she doesn't mind the bib as much as the cloth ones.The little pouch it comes in is handy and cute (I put the spoon in there too.) So... I bought 3 of these and it's the only bibs I need..not more crappy cloth bibs with velcro for me! Seriously worth the splurge!

Love the print and I love JuJube but my baby pulls the bib off... there are magnets in back which make it handy to put on... but a little too east to pull offWant Ju-Ju-Be Be Neat Bib Discount?
I love the JU JU BE products( I have their diaper bag, pacifier holder and a few more items) and it is unfortunate that the bib did not work for my little one.I love the magnet closure(it was perfect that she could not take it off at all :-))and a good quality but she developed a nasty rush underneath the chin within one hour of usage.
I did not notice in time to remove it sooner but it took 2 days of cortisone cream usage to get rid of the rush.
I gave it one more chance to see if it was just a coincidence and again, the same thing, she developed a mild rush within 10 min and I had to remove it...
It was a waste of money for me and it is too bad because there are so many other rubber,plastic, nylon bibs out there and I am sure that people are happy with it.
It did not work for me even if my daughter is not that sensitive...I don't know what happened.
Happy Munchies Rice Cakes
this rice cakes are delicious! My 7-month-old loves to sit and gum the rice cakes. It is perfect for teething. The light apple on the outside is just the right level of sweetness (and it is just apple! nothing more). My older children love the rice cakes as a snack on their own or with peanut butter on top.The carrot and blueberry beet varieties are amazing as well!
