Step 2 Push Around Buggy Review $42

Tara Bucci — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 09:59:04 +0000

After having this Step 2 Push Around Buggy for about two weeks now, I would have to say in Toy buying it was the best $17 (I bought it at a consignment shop) I have ever spent. Even if I had to pay full price, the money would have been well spent. Isabella absolutely loves this car! At the age of almost two, we don’t take the stroller to walk around the city anymore, we now take this buggy. It makes our walks so much more fun for the both of us. The Buggy comes in both Pink and Red for both genders and available at most toy stores. The storage bin in the front has been great for my keys, phone, wallet and Isabella sippy cup. Step 2 Push Around Buggy is Stamped with Approval by Baby and Momma!

Best price I have seen is at Wal-mart for $42 but also avail at other toy store locations.

Woolite Oxy Deep Spot & Stain Carpet Cleaner Review $5

Tara Bucci — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:31:17 +0000

I don’t know how many parents run into the problem of children writing with pen on the walls or couches. Gosh I feel like such a bad mom! Anyway, where I try my best to keep that stuff out of reach she found one and wrote all over one of our ottoman. Ink everywhere and I thought to myself, great! How the heck am I going to get this out? I know when my husband bought this furniture right out of college, he got them scotch guarded but does that really matter with pen? All I can say is it’s AMAZING and see for yourself in my video. Woolite Oxy Deep Spot & Stain Carpet Cleaner is Sealed with Approval by Baby-Momma!

Fisher-Price Smart Bounce & Spin Pony Review $70

Tara Bucci — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 06:24:10 +0000

This Fisher-Price Smart Bounce & Spin Pony was a Christmas gift from Nona and Pop. Isabella LOVES this toy. The interaction she has with each setting and level is so much fun. They have 3 different levels for age groups 12-24 months. She literally looks like she is going to jump through the ceiling when she is on this thing. Check out our vlog below. This is very easy to assemble and easy to connect to your T.V. The only thing that I don’t like about this toy is when Isabella is playing, the screen switch buttons are on both the horse and receiver. Isa loves pushing buttons (like every other 20 month old) and just keeps playing with them, not letting her get through a actual level and interact. Hopefully as she gets older that will change. Other than that we love this game and is a great learning toy! Fisher-Price Smart Bounce & Spin Pony is Stamped with Approval by Baby-Momma!

My Hands Are Clean Signs-$9.95 w/ free Shipping!

Tara Bucci — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:56:15 +0000

If your a mommy you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about with people touching your babies. I think to myself “What are these people thinking!?!?!?” Even before I was a mom I knew not to put my hands on or touch little babies because of germs and their immunity. I don’t know how many times I have to ask people to please not touch Isabella. It happens everywhere I go. Target, the grocery store and it happen recently while up in NYC in the subway!! Ugh, so dirty!!! People also get turned off when I push their hands away and say please don’t touch her. I’ve come up with the excuse and say “Please don’t take it personal but she gets sick easily”. It amazes me how often this really happens.

Fellow MommyBlogger and Mompreneur, Kristen Gentry, created and launched a new product recently to help protect our babies from filthy hands. Snap this My Hands Are Clean, Are Yours? sign to your Infant Car Seat, Stroller or even a shopping cart. All signs are $9.95 with FREE SHIPPING! Ohh and it get’s better, Kristen loves to give back so 10% of the proceeds go to Charity. I jumped through the roof when when speaking to Kristen and thought to myself, thank goodness someone finally came up with something like this! If you love this product as much as I do, become a facebook fan. “Clean Hands Healthy Baby Signs are sure to keep filthy hands away and has a seal of Approval by Baby-Momma!

Just Like Home Metal Shopping Cart Review

Tara Bucci — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 02:05:54 +0000

Every year after Christmas morning at our house we head over to Anthony’s Aunt’s house for our family Traditional Italian wedding soup and dinner with his side of the family. We had to let Isabella bring one of her toys to play with so we brought her toy doll umbrella stroller (it’s her favorite so far) but once we got to our Aunt and Uncle house it was game over for the umbrella stroller. She fell in love with all of her cousins toys and I had to blog about this toy Isabella was playing with some of the time. This Just Like Home Metal Shopping Cart is such a cute toy and Isabella really enjoyed pushing it around with all the accessories and the removable basket. Fun for the baby’s but the worst for us Adults! This stroller was constantly falling on it’s side because of the two front swivel wheels. If there was a way for the wheels to stay straights it would have worked perfectly but I would say we picked up this stroller a handful of times throughout the day after it fell over. Baby-Momma Rating: 3 out of 10. Cute design but poorly built. You can even take a look at the ratings on Toys R Us, other moms agree

Graco Doll Umbrella Stroller Review $13

Tara Bucci — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 13:10:50 +0000

This Graco Doll Umbrella Stroller was one of the gifts we bought Isabella for Christmas and never knew how much it would come in handy. The moment she opened it, she was pushing it all over the house and could care less about all the other gifts she still had to open. Two days after Christmas we were heading down to Florida for a week. We’ll, we are here now but I had to figure a way to get this stroller into my luggage to take with us. If worse came to worse, it was only 13 bucks so we could buy another one for the house down here but 10 bucks saved if I could somehow squeeze this thing in my bag. Without a hassle it worked and she’s been trotting around the house with it all week. I love it! Like I mentioned in my video review, the only negative about this toy is the seat of the stroller often slips off of the metal. I’m going to try and use hot glue to get it to stay on. Because of that I give this toy a rating of 8 out of 10.

Package from Santa Review

Tara Bucci — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 03:10:55 +0000

Add some fun to your child’s belief in Santa with a personalized letter from Santa. Packagefromsanta.com gives you the ability to create a package of your choice to send to your little one. With three options to choice from there is no doubt about putting a smile on your child’s face once received. My husband and I have decided that every year we are going to stick with the Gold package. A letter from the North Pole will be more than enough for her to get a little more excited about Santa coming to town. Once you chose from the rough drafts of letters to Santa, you can then edit it to say what you want it to. If you have a little one between the ages of 2-7, you have to send them one of these. Nothing better then getting a letter from the big man himself when your that young. Packagefromsanta.com is Sealed with Approval by Baby-Momma!
