ATTITUDE Baby Laundry Products Review

**I received the ATTITUDE Baby Gift Basket at no cost in order to complete an honest review. No other compensation has been received**

I received the ATTITUDE Baby Gift Basket about a month ago. Lots of safer baby products in the gift basket. I’ve since had the chance to try out some of the products a few times and thought I’d share my experience with the ATTITUDE Baby Laundry products I received in the basket.

I used the ATTITUDE Baby laundry detergent, fabric softener, and stain remover spray. My daughter is 15 months old. I separate her clothes and use baby detergents and fragrance free products for her clothes.

ATTITUDE Baby Fabric Softener — ATTITUDE Baby fabric softenet

Above pictured is the ATTITUDE baby laundry detergent and fabric softener. They are free of fragrance, carcinogens, hypoallergenic, safe for both standard and he washers, and free of 1,4 dioxane and ethyline oxide. This all sounds great of course but I had to wonder how effective it would be. I mean my daughter is a mess maker, as most toddlers are. You know the type of mess maker that wears at least half of what she eats and isn’t happy unless something is covered in dirt.

I’ll show you a prime example of her daily wear clothes. Which is why I also added the ATTITUDE Stain Remover spray to the trial.

Yuck right? I think it might be spaghetti sauce, dirt, and um..might be chocolate on there as well but don’t quote me on it. The stain remover spray is in a generous size, easy to spray container. It has the same benefits as the laundry detergent and fabric softener (free of fragrance, all those nasty chemicals, etc). So the only thing left to do was actually wash everything and see what happened. I threw these two articles of clothing in with the rest of her laundry.

I’m gonna tell you something here folks, it took out EVERYTHING. Yes, as a matter of fact, the blue and gray striped long sleeve romper had some worn in stains on the knees from my daughter crawling. I had washed it several times and they never came out. I assumed they’d be there forever and I’d just have to throw that outfit away when we were done with it. It even took out those stains!

If you’re looking for a useful gift for someone who is expecting, the ATTITUDE Baby Gift Basket is useful and I’m sure would be appreciated. Sometimes for an expecting parent who may not be a first time parent, it’s hard to decide what to get them. This will be used and save them a lot of money. Take it from a mom of 4.’

Introducing HALO’s Revolutionary Baby Bassinest

I received a HALO SleepSack for this post. Giveaway is sponsored by HALO. No other compensation was received. Any opinions expressed are my own.

HALO is known for it’s high quality baby safety products in regard to sleep safety. Co-sleeping is something some parents practice but there are safety concerns. HALO addressed these concerns while still allowing parents to have their baby close at night. The HALO™ Bassinest™ swivel sleeper gives parents the convenience of having baby close while addressing the safety concerns of other co-sleeping products.

I nursed all my children and every one wanted to get up and nurse about every 2 hours or so. Often it was the only way I could get them to go to sleep. Of course, being a sleep deprived mom, I would nurse laying on my side with them beside me. Sometimes I’d drift off and wake up and realize they were sleeping too. Then I’d carry them over to their crib and repeat this process multiple times throughout the night. My worst fear was that, in my sleep deprivation, I’d nurse them fall asleep and something tragic would happen. Plus, my hubby is a big guy and a sound sleeper. That scared me too.

I would have loved to have something like this. Did you watch the video? It has a night light, soothing sounds, vibrations, the sides fold down, you can put it as close to you as you like, and it even has a nursing timer. You can enter to win a HALO Bassinest on the website: halobassinest.com

I’ve used HALO SleepSacks for a couple years. When you read the parenting magazines and books they tell you about not having extra items in the crib with baby including blankets. You can also find safe sleep practices for baby on HALO’s website: halosleep.com. I’d always worry, especially in the winter, that my babies weren’t warm enough. The HALO sleep sacks are a good choice if you get the right size. They’re soft wearable blankets that eliminate the risk of anything going over baby’s head. They have soft cotton ones for the warmer months and thicker fleece ones for the colder months. They have the swaddles too (pictured on the baby above) making it easy to swaddle baby.

Perk Up Your Living Space With Fulcrum Gallery

When my hubby and I moved into our house it looked so big and empty. We started with mostly hand me down furniture. We had a futon for a couch, a small tv from my hubby’s room at his dad’s house, and a couple of framed art pieces I brought with me from my place. His mom gave us a few too. Nothing really matched but at the time I was happy to just have something to perk up the walls a bit and make it look more..homey.

It’s amazing what the right picture can do for a room. Since we’ve been married we’re upgraded things and replaced the mismatched things as we went. One thing I wanted for our home was a beach scene picture. We don’t really have any beach decor in our house but for me it would be more like a picture to look at when I need to cool down for a minute or just need to mentally step away for a minute. The beach is my happy place. Hubby and the kids love it too. Fulcrumgallery.com has so many art pieces to choose from. Black and white, portrait, etc. They had so many awesome beach art pieces for me to choose from. I ended up going with this one.

Fulcrom gallery beach art — Kaus Strubel Paradise Dawn

It’s such a warm picture. It’s not busy. The adirondack chairs with the umbrella on the beach, just two, looks like they’re waiting for me and hubby to get away. The the sand dunes giving a sense of privacy but still welcoming. We’re headed to the beach in August and I can’t wait. I also love water pictures. Beautiful photography of crystal blue ocean waves and things like that. Sometimes I think I was meant to be born by the ocean. Look at this gorgeous professional photographer piece by Ken Paul called Caribbean Blue.

When I was asked to choose one piece form their site I had such a hard time. The one I chose in the first picture is under $100 with the frame I chose. I had the option to get it as a print, laminate, canvas or framed. When you choose framed the price does go up a bit and you have many frames to choose from. Some frames cost more than others. I liked the frame I chose because I think it kept the sense of light and warmth with the picture.

I could easily spend an hour just looking over the site and envisioning different pieces for each room in my house. I encourage you to visit Fulcrum Gallery now, at the time of this posting they have 40-50% off sitewide!

World’s Only Organic Acid Free Coffee

/> This post also contains Amazon affiliate links.

I love coffee but coffee doesn’t always love me. If I have more than 2 cups in a day I pay for it. I get heart burn. There there is the thing with my two older boys. My oldest boys are 12 and 10. My oldest one thinks he is a “man” and he jumps at the chance to do “man” things like cutting the grass, helping move things, and wearing deodorant. He’s also bugging me about shaving but he does NOT need to yet. That being said they think drinking coffee is an adult thing. I refused to let them have any for the longest time then their dad started letting them drink coffee at his house. So I bought decaf coffee for them and they don’t know the difference. I worry about the acidity with them though.

Tyler’s Coffee is the world’s only organic acid free coffee. I received a pack of their regular coffee. I brewed a pot for myself. The scent and flavor isn’t very different from regular coffee but there is a big difference in the smoothness and after effects for me.

Tyler’s Coffee also makes an organic acid free decaf which I would love to try for my boys. I actually preferred drinking Tyler’s Coffee over my regular brand because I didn’t get heart burn after drinking it. It would be a simple change to be healthier for myself. Courtney Sixx (how2girl.com and wife of Motley Crew bassist and co-founder Nikki Sixx) decided to “alkalize” her body and chose Tyler’s Coffee as part of that change.

There’s also an organic acid free decaf coffee the perfect coffee for pregnancy if you just have to have your coffee.

Bo-Po Nail Polish, Kid Friendly

I’m going to date myself here but does anyone else remember Tinkerbell nail polish when they were a kids? You brushed it on and it peeled right off. You didn’t need nail polish remover. I had one bottle I think I got as a stocking stuffer. It was this pretty purple color. I remember wearing it often. I often thought, I wonder if they still make something like that. Well guess what, they do. BO-PO Nail Polish is just that. A kid friendly brush on, peel off nail polish. This is great for letting your daughter play dress up or do her nails while you do yours. It non-toxic, child safe, and dries in seconds. It also has a unique spill proof bottle. Man, I’ll tell ya, when I saw it dry and peeled it off it brought back memories for me with my Tinkerbell nail polish. Knowing it was non-toxic and I didn’t have to use nail polish remover to take it off, I couldn’t wait to try it with my daughter. I received a two pack with a dark pink color called Bubblegum and a light

shimmery blue color called Cotton Candy. I put the bubblegum on my daughter and I tried the cotton candy.

The nail polish had sort of baby powderish scent to it. The blue was a sheer tint. The bubblegum was actually more opaque. You can use this nail polish alone or over another color. I actually tried the sheerer blue over a regular pink nail polish I had on at the time. Peeling the nail polish off when worn alone was really easy and worked just like my Tinkerbell nail polish used to. When I tried to peel it off from atop my regular pink polish though it ended up pull off some of my pink polish too. I posted a pick below of some of the nail polish I peeled up. I really like this polish especially for my daughter. This would be awesome for a slumber party or girls spa day. Bo-Po Nail Polish comes in 10 different colors that are super cute. You can get Bo-Po nail polish online and at many retailers nationwide including: Nordstrom, Burlington Coat Factory, Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Learning Express Toys, Bealls Florida Department, Johnson Smith Company and on Amazon:
