Giveaway - Welcome to the UNGUMMY Movement – Up to 96% LESS Sugar!

I've always had a problem getting my kids to take their vitamins. Even when I get them the chewable ones, they don't want to take them.  The like the gummy vitamins, but my daughter has problems with her teeth, and they can pull out her fillings and are loaded with sugar. Because of this, I tend to be a little lax about giving them vitamins as often as I should. Luckily, I finally found a solution with Superior Source and their dissolving tablets. They are a quick, easy, and effective alternative to regular supplements, and there are lots of varieties to choose from.

Lil Ocean Explorer's 3-in-1 Adventure Course Giveaway

Dive into adventure! The Lil’ Ocean Explorers 3- in- 1 Adventure Course stimulates and entertains your baby throughout 3 key developmental milestones. When sitting, baby gets tactile with features like the submarine Peek-A-Boo door, the marine wall, ball drop periscope and multiple clicker knobs. When crawling, watch as your baby explores the course, discovering new ways to play. When standing baby will hear sounds and phrases from their new octopus friend and will be encouraged to play ball!

Our Thoughts

This toy is awesome! My son is 13 months old and adores every aspect of this adventure course. He had almost just as much fun helping me put it together too.

Generally I can put almost anything together without directions, but I did need the directions for this item just because there were so many colorful parts, and you definitely don't want to put something together incorrectly if your baby is going to be playing with it. Overall it was really self-explanatory, but just double check you've got it all right.

The two yellow circular parts of this are already set up aside from attaching the rotors, mirror and blue plastic piece to make the tube for the balls to go through. This also comes with four little balls (that are not small enough to be a choking hazard, so don't worry!) so my son immediately started playing with this while I was setting it up.

The top safety piece that goes under the fish net was a bit difficult to get it, make sure you move the cloth out of the way to really get the plastic into the slot correctly and once it's in, it'll stay in so don't worry!

It's a toss up between the octopus head and the tube for the balls as to which one my son loves more. The octopus talks to him, which he thinks is fantastic and squeals every time and he will push down on the lever to make the octopus arms fly up and down over and over again. The octopus was really the only thing that needed any screwdriver assistance to finish setting up, but it was still simple enough.

I love that you can detach and rearrange how you set up the three sections (as shown in the pictures above), it makes it a lot of fun and you can move it around from room to room and change the shapes if you don't have a lot of room in there for it!

One lucky winner is going to receive a Lil' Ocean Explorers 3-in-1 Adventure Course. To enter, just fill in the Giveaway Tools form below. This giveaway will end on 09/21/15. Open to the US only. The winner will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to reply. Thanks again to the sponsor for offering this fantastic prize!

Holiday Gift Guide: STRIDER 12" Sport No-Pedal Balance Bike

STRIDER 12" Sport No-Pedal Balance Bike

STRIDER™ balance bikes are industry-leading training bikes that help children as young as 18 months learn to ride on two wheels. STRIDER balance bikes focus on the fundamentals of balancing, leaning, and steering without the distractions and complications of pedals or training wheels.

The STRIDER’s simple, no-pedal design builds confidence and eliminates fear by allowing kids to have their feet on the ground and progress at their own pace. This unique design teaches young children balance on two wheels right from the start, avoiding developmental delays typical with tricycles and training-wheel bikes.

Advantages of Riding a STRIDER

Research shows that learning balance and coordination with exercise jump-starts a child’s growth and development during the important formative years of early childhood.

• STRIDER bikes are ultra light weight and easy to control.
• STRIDER bikes increase balance, coordination, and confidence.
• STRIDER bikes allow children to focus on learning balance first.
• STRIDER bikes are free of chains, pedals, and protrusions that can harm a child.
• STRIDER bikes provides a safe, smooth, and natural transition to a pedal bike.

Features on the STRIDER 12" Sport Balance Bike

Ryan McFarland, Founder… "The 12 Sport model offers every feature a child (or parent) could want. It is the perfect balance of performance, options, and value, featuring more than 8 years of design evolution and manufacturing improvements."

Handlebar

Unique 12.7mm steel handlebar is 43% smaller than standard to allow better control with tiny hands. Custom logo mini-grips are soft urethane with protective ends. Machined-aluminum quick release allows “No Tools” height adjustment from 46-56cm (18-22”).

Wheel

Strider-exclusive, ultralight one-piece wheels sport a raised-letter, five-spoke design with 10 bearing support gussets for maximum strength at the lightest weight possible.

Top-quality sealed cartridge bearings roll smooth and never need adjustment.

  

Tires

EVA polymer (industrial foam) tires are super light and durable yet offer a smooth ride. Best of all, they never need air and will never go flat.

Seats

The durable, all-weather mini-saddle is designed specifically for beginning riders and their tiny hips. Smaller, narrower, and lighter than a typical saddle, this seat allows for proper riding position and posture. ** The Sport model also includes a padded XL saddle and long seatpost to fit kids over 3 years and allows seat height adjustments up to 48cm (19”).

  

Bar and seat clamps

Machined aluminum quick release allows “No Tools” saddle height adjustment from 28-41cm (11-16”) for the perfect fit for your child.

 

Footrest

Unique, frame-integrated footrests are properly positioned directly below the saddle for natural bike balance.

This position also fosters the advanced ability to stand while

gliding as well as pumping and jumping the bike.

Brake mount
Strider-exclusive rear brake mount allows the addition of a foot-operated brake once the kids are proficiently gliding with feet on the footrests. Brake sold separately.

The STRIDER 12" Sport Balance Bike is Available in 7 dynamic colors!

OUR THOUGHTS

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was to have the chance to review the Strider 12" Sport Balance Bike!  Our son has special needs including motor apraxia, which means he has great difficulty imitating learned purposeful movements.  His balance is a struggle, too. Even at age 5 1/2, I still need to physically support his body in some respects as if he were an infant. 

We have a tricycle for him and while he can balance sitting on it and do seated walking, he is so far unable to coordinate the movements to pedal it.  At school they say he can do up to 5 revolutions on his own, but there, his feet are strapped to the pedals and at home they are not.  We've known about the Strider Camps, and have kept it in our minds as an option.  Read here to learn how kids with Special Needs CAN learn to ride!

Size-wise, this 12" Sport bike is perfect since our son is about the size of an average 3 yr old.  He has Down Syndrome; it's normal for him to have  shorter legs, so he will fit this size bike for a long time to come! 

Features I like:

• Smaller handle bars!  His fingers are shorter than average, too, and he can actually grip the Strider handle bars.
• Narrow seat - with his low muscle tone, he has a very small rear end and narrow hips.  The narrow seat helps him to focus on balancing.
• Padded handle bar.  Kids are accident prone, and having motor apraxia makes it even moreso.  My son also used to have Infantile Spasms (benign myoclonic seizures) which would throw his head/upper body forward violently, which caused him to slam his little head into anything in his way.  While he hasn't had a seizure in over 4 years, that parental fear never goes away.
• Easy size adjustments!  The quick-release clamps are super easy to work with, making size adjustments a snap!
• Wheels - the Strider balance bike's wheels will NEVER go flat.  One less worry!

It took him a few tries over the course of two days to learn to hold the bike upright by himself for Standing Walking.  


learning Standing Walking

and now . . . Standing Running!

Once he had that mastered, he had fun intentionally crashing into EVERYTHING in the house with the biggest smile on his face!  Boys.  Gotta love 'em!!



I LOVE my new balance bike!  Thanks STRIDER!!

So far he's having too much fun with Standing Walking to move onto Seated Walking, but I'm glad it's getting to be winter so he can master the balance bike inside the house (where I can keep a close eye on him!).  Then it will be so much fun for him to ride it outside next spring!  My husband loves bike riding and I know he hopes to be able to have our son ride along with him someday. 

Something else I want to mention - Strider offers 3 age-range sizes of bikes:
18 mo - 5 years (12")
6 - 12 years (16")
13+ years (20")
So if you or someone you know wants to learn to ride a bike - Strider has the bike for you, no matter your age or size!

SIGG Halloween Bottle

***Product was received for free in exchange for an honest review.***

Kids are already beginning to plan their costumes and we all know that traversing up and down the neighborhood blocks is a high energy and tiring task. SIGG is the perfect way to keep your little ones hydrated while trick or treating - outfit them with a fun and unique beverage bottle that heralds the Halloween spirit. SIGG's new Fall collection for Kids showcases a treasured character, Hello Kitty, dressed up in 4 different animal costumes. The bottles show Hello Kitty adorably dressed in an Elephant, Tiger, Leopard and Monkey costume. For those who prefer more traditional Halloween inspiration, SIGG also offers bottles featuring the iconic Witch on a Broom and the pirate's Skull & Bone motif.

All SIGG bottles are coated inside with SIGG's new EcoCare liner. The EcoCare liner is a high-quality internal coating that insures a fresh, clean taste with no metallic aftertaste. The materials used in producing the liner are BPA-Free and Phthalate-Free, as well as being free of any VOCs (volatile organic compounds). The paint on the outside of the bottle is made from non-toxic, eco-friendly, food-grade paint. 

Our Thoughts

Halloween is one of this families favorite holidays! I love anything that has witches, ghosts or goblins on it. I used to have a bottle like this a long time ago, and miss it dearly so I was ecstatic to get an opportunity to review this for my kids. 

This bottle is well made, easy to open and "eco" friendly so I know my kids are safe to drink out of this bottle without any harmful chemicals like BPA. This bottle keeps your drinks super cold, which is fantastic because that is a big complaint among my kids, ice cold water! They love it, and my oldest is excited to walk around holding this Witch bottle because the colors match her Halloween outfit perfectly, it is adorable!

This bottle will be sure to last a long time so now I just need to get one for each family member. They have many options to choose from in their childrens line, as well as their adult lines.

And if you enjoy them as much as I do, check out their THERMOS they offer in a variety of colors to keep your beverages piping hot for the winter!
