Head-To-Toe Baby Wash for their baths, and sent us home with the rest of the bottle to use for their first baths at home. Those first baths at homes were quite an experience for us.

Initially, both boys HATED baths! They’d scream and scream and scream. It was a joint effort when it came to baths when our boys were newborns. DH & I were always worried about trying to get a good hold on their tiny, slippery bodies, or making sure the water wasn't too cold or too warm, but we never had to worry about the baby wash we used. We knew that our hospital trusted Johnson’s, and so could we.

We received generic store brands and even higher priced brands of baby wash as gifts, but some had weird fragrances, and some even caused DS1 to break out into a rash, so we were always most comfortable using Johnson’s Baby Wash.

These days we use both organic and natural bath products on our boys, as well as Johnson’s Head-To-Toe Baby Wash. We know that Johnson’s is a name we can trust, as they point out on their website: “We believe in giving every baby a healthy, happy start in life. For generations, we have been supporting families and hospitals alike with trusted products, expertise, and innovations.”

Thanks to

, we received two new Johnson’s products to review that were introduced this year to help celebrate Johnson’s 50th Anniversary—the Head-to-Toe Foaming Wash and Baby Bubble Bath & Wash.

Johnson’s Head-to-Toe Foaming Wash (ARV $4.89 for 9 oz.) comes in a handy pump dispenser, and with a single pump you’ll get enough suds and lather to wash your baby without having to rub your bath mitts or washcloths together, so it makes bathtime a little easier.

Johnson’s Baby Bubble Bath & Wash (ARV $3.99 for 15 oz.) has a nice fragrance and can be used for both bubble baths and for washing your little one. As a bubble bath, it produced lots and lots of fun bubbles, and I thought it was great that it could also be used as a baby wash.

Both the Head-To-Toe Foaming Wash and the Baby Bubble Bath & Wash are soap-free, dye-free, hypoallergenic and allergy- and dermatologist-tested, so you know they’ll be gentle on baby’s skin.

You can get more information on these and other Johnson’s products, as well access bathing tips and videos, by visiting Johnson’s

Do you have a special memory of using Johnson’s products when you were growing up, or of using them on your baby?

Thank you to Johnson's Baby for providing the product(s) for review and/or giveaway.

I received the Rejuv Skin Repair Cleanser (Try Me Size ARV $7.75), Clear & Fresh Moisturizing Toner (Try Me Size ARV $5.75), and Quantum Quencher Facial Moisturizer (Try Me Size ARV $10.95). Not only do these products smell good, but they are good for your skin as well. They contain natural and organic ingredients, as well vitamins that are beneficial for your skin. Use as part of your daily skin care regimen to end up with healthy, glowing skin.

The Crème Brulee was a little too light for me, but the Light Olive was PERFECT. As I mentioned, I really don’t know much about makeup, and Eve Organics’ blog provides great tips on how to choose the right foundation as well as apply it correctly. Using the correct brush also makes a difference. For information on application techniques or how to choose the right shade, you can visit Eve Organics' blog and click on "Tips and Tricks."

Our household is a big fan of General Mills Big G cereals. Cheerios and Kix can always be found in our home. Since DS1 started to eat cereal, we've been trying other cereals, and last year was the first time any of us (DS1, DH, and I) tried Cookie Crisp, Lucky Charms, and Trix.

Thanks to the Mom Bloggers Club and General Mills Big G kid cereals, we were able to try another cereal for the first time--Cinnamon Toast Crunch (ARV $1.89-$3.99 for 12.8 oz.)!

I can’t believe I never tried Cinnamon Toast Crunch before. It’s so good! I love the cinnamon-sugar taste!

Of course, DS1 loved it too. In fact, he ended up asking for more. He’s still going through speech therapy and is having trouble with some consonants, but here he is eagerly signing his version of “more” after asking for “ORE!”

Not only is Cinnamon Toast Crunch delicious, but it provides calcium and vitamin D, along with other important nutrients and vitamins for my growing boy.

Shop: You can purchase General Mills Big G kid cereals at retailers online and nationwide.

Thank you to General Mills for providing the product(s) for review and/or giveaway.

You don’t have to be a die-hard Martina McBride fan to enjoy this CD. There are quite a few songs many people would be familiar with, such as There You Are or This One’s For The Girls, and maybe some songs you’ve never heard of that you'll come to enjoy.

Many of her songs are romantic and upbeat, such as My Baby Loves Me (it was the first time I heard that song--what a great song!), others, like Happy Girl, are inspirational and passionate, and there are those that are very soulful and heart-tugging, like Cryin' Time.

My favorite song on the CD is I Love You from the Runaway Bride soundtrack. It’s a fun song with a pop influence and it’s simply a song that makes me happy whenever I listen to it.

McBride sings songs that not only invoke feelings of love and romance, but many of her songs also send a positive message to both young girls and women, empowering them and encouraging them to believe in themselves.

What’s also great about this CD is that the packaging is eco-friendly—it’s made out of 100% recycled and recyclable materials, and there is no CD booklet. Instead, since it‘s an enhanced CD, you can just pop it into your computer to access notes, images, wallpaper, and more!

Shop: You can purchase Playlist: Martina McBride on Walmart.com and at other retailers online and nationwide.

Whether you’re a big Martina McBride fan or simply want to enjoy some great music, Playlist: Martina McBride will not disappoint.

However, EyeTry was still a great tool, and he ended up selecting the Titanium Rome Frames (ARV $49.95 on EyeBuyDirect; $250 elsewhere). Once he made his selection, he entered his prescription information (very important to have this handy, unless you want non-prescription glasses, in which case you’d select “Fashion” when prompted “I use my glasses for”), and then he was able to select optional features, such as lens thickness and UV coating (additional cost).

According to the website Alyson Probst created the Snack & Play Travel Tray for her son, Daniel, when “she couldn’t find a safe, practical surface for him to use when he was in his car seat or stroller.”

The Snack & Play Travel Tray (ARV $19.99) is quick and simple to use. Once DS1 gets into his car seat it’s just a matter of seconds before the Snack & Play Travel Tray is attached and his favorite books and toys are easily accessible. We use the Snack & Play Travel Tray on both long and short drives, and ever since we began using it there has not been a single time where I had to reach and feel around for something that DS1 has dropped. Toys and books stay put on the firm surface thanks to the tray’s wide rim, and the tray folds up for easy storage.

I also love how the Snack & Play Travel Tray has mesh pockets on both sides, so you can stash a variety of things for your little one to snack on and play with—more books, toys, sippy cups, etc. Although the Snack & Play Travel Tray was crash-tested at a federally recognized laboratory and passed, it’s still very important to not give your child objects with sharp edges or points that could cause injury in the event of an accident.

You can even attach the Snack & Play Travel Tray to a stroller. Your little one will have access to a bigger surface instead of the the tiny tray that’s on most strollers. This is also great for airplane rides. Your child won't have to use those icky tray tables on the plane, and the passenger seated in front of your child won’t be bothered if your child is one of those who constantly likes to play or hit the tray table.

Shop: You can purchase the Snack & Play Travel Tray through the Star Kids Products' retail network.

The Snack & Play Travel Tray has made all of our drives more enjoyable, especially for DS1, since he has everything he needs within his reach.

The Snack & Play Travel Tray is a Playdate Pick!

There are eleven Master Categories and 102 Subcategories in which you can save your scanned files. One of the categories I use most often is Food & Wine, since I tear out so many recipes! Once you scan your item, and create your thumbnail image, you’re prompted to complete required fields (e.g. name reference, category, subcategory, etc.), and you can also add in optional notes and keywords so you can search for the particular item in the future. You can also add new subcategories (the number of subcategories you can create depends on the Master Category). Under Food & Wine, I created a “recipes” category so it would be easier for me to find all recipes I tore out from magazines. I also use the "duplicate" feature to easily make a copy of a recipe into one of the other subcategories in Food & Wine. For instance, if I scan a cheesecake recipe, it would be in the Recipes as well as the Desserts subcategories.

Not only can you catalog scanned magazine articles, but you can also retrieve photos and other previously scanned items from your computer to catalog, such as photos (as long as they are in .jpg and .bmp formats).

There are many other neat things you can do with Scanalog, such as create a Hopes & Dreams Journal, log books that you’re interested in, and create a database of information on products you want to buy.

Scanalog is very user-friendly and the screens are filled with colorful visuals that make organizing and cataloging your magazine articles enjoyable. You'll no longer have to sift through pages and pages torn out from magazines. Instead, those pages will be stored and efficiently organized on your computer thanks to Scanalog.

Shop: You can get your magazine articles, kids’ drawings, and more organized by purchasing Scanalog on their website.

Win: One lucky winner will get the Scanalog CD-ROM and a Scanalog mousepad (ARV $39.95).

According to the website, Coyuchi uses only 100% certified organic cotton purchased from the Chetna project, “an organization devoted to growing fair-trade, certified organic cotton...The Chetna project empowers and improves the lives of marginalized peasant farmers who cultivate cotton on a small scale…Fair-trade cotton is grown without harmful agrochemicals, using environmentally sustainable farming methods that protect people’s health and preserve valuable ecosystems.”

DS2 received this adorable organic cotton George Baby Jumpsuit (ARV $24) from Coyuchi’s Baby “George” collection. Made out of 100% organic cotton, as are all of Coyuchi’s other cotton products, the jumpsuit is hand embroidered with a cute lion, and comes in sizes 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. DS2 is still too small to fit in his jumpsuit, but I know once my little guy is big enough, he’ll look super cute! Of course, knowing that he’ll be wearing something that hasn’t been treated with so many pesticides and chemicals makes me love the jumpsuit even more.

Coyuchi’s hand-embroidered baby collection also includes "Thor" and "Jingo" items, and they also carry unembellished baby products, but I think their hand-embroidered items are the most charming.

In addition to the jumpsuit, the Baby collection offers so much more, including bedding, towels, and bibs, and because all the items in the Baby collection are white, they’re perfect for both little boys and little girls.

Coyuchi also offers beautiful bedding, bath items, sleepwear, and accessories that adults would love for themselves.
