Review - BabiLayers



 Featuring:


About Babilayers -

"Like many working moms, I am constantly looking for ways to make life easier at home. After the birth of my second child, Trey, life at home became busier than ever.
With our new addition to the family, there was no shortage of friends and family wanting to visit to see our new baby. I was worried that baby Trey’s skin might be sensitive to fabrics that people were wearing. I was also concerned about the cleanliness of people’s clothes. Bottom line was that I didn’t want Trey exposed to zippers, germs, allergens, or perfume found on the clothes of the person carrying him.
Unlike my first child, I found Trey frequently spitting up shortly after breast feeding. My husband and I found ourselves constantly changing our clothes, sometimes as much as 10 times in one day. Burp cloths didn’t help much because they constantly would fall off or rarely would help in protecting our clothes from the spontaneous spit up, drool, or vomit.
I needed ‘something’ to protect my baby’s health and skin, while at the same time protect the clothing of whoever was carrying him. That ‘something’ is BabiLayers." -Claire Hsu Gantan,
owner and founder of BabiLayers



What is "Babilayers"?
BabiLayers is an innovative, patent pending, wearable layer of protection designed for today’s modern caregiver. Layers protect your baby from exposure to allergens or germs we all carry on our clothes. It also protects you from baby's spontaneous drool, spit-up, and throw up.
Made from 100% soft organic cotton with an “extra” layer designed for multiple uses while you’re on the go. Babilayers has a neckline made with soft elastic and can easily be put on and taken off using one hand. A natural coconut button is sewn on the back to easily secure the “extra” layer. Not to mention they come in very cute patterns!

BabiLayers is proudly made in USA. Their organic fabrics and natural dyes are sourced and printed in USA and are compliant with GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standards).

My Thoughts!At first glance I knew that Babilayers would be the perfect Baby Shower gift! I thought about the days when our twins were newborns, family was always asking if they could hold the twins...I hated it, I didn't know what kind of nasty stuff was on their clothing, plus don't get me started on the family and friends who smoke, we don't smoke and would prefer our children not to be surrounded by that. I wish I would have had Babilayers...or 2...or 3!!

Now that our twins are older, I really like the Babilayer to protect me...I can't tell you how many times we are just to head out the door all ready to go when..."Honey! I have to go change, I just got thrown up on"

My adorable Babilayers in Bubbly came at the perfect time, right in the middle of a spring time cold...horrible cough, snot every where, up set tummies...you name it. The Babilayers is awesome. Both my husbands work clothes and my clothes have been perfectly protected!

Yesterday afternoon my little girl fell asleep on me, she wasn't feeling very good. She not only drooled in her sleep, but her poor little nose was running...it has been so much that it has even bled a little, I hate having a sick baby:( With the Babilayers she was able to cuddle up close to Mama with her face on a ultra soft fabric, and all her ickies landed on the Babilayers not me! Another aspect of the Babilayers that I love is that it's Organic Cotton! My kiddos all have ultra sensitive skin that becomes VERY irritated when soap is left in fabric, and certain types of fabric...the sometimes end up with hives on their cheeks when they fall asleep on Mama or Daddy. Not so with the Babilayers!!! My six year old son even liked cuddling up to the Babilayers because of how soft it is!! :)

All and All this is a wonderful thing to have! I have a few friends that have a new baby and even more who are expecting...even a few are expecting twins, I will for sure be suggesting they get their hands on a few Babilayers!!
I would like to give a Special Thank You to Babilayers for letting me try out and share their fantastic product! Shonte was wonderful to work with and always there! She did a great job, Above and beyond! Thank You Shonte!

Book Review - Thank You, God, for Mommy


Thank You, God, For Mommy


Padded Board Book
By Amy Parker

Mommies do so much for us! It’s time to thank God for the blessing they are. In this adorable board book, a little panda thanks God for his wonderful mommy—a mommy who gives hugs and cuddles, who takes great care of him, and most importantly, who offers love and guidance for her precious panda cub.
The love and sacrifices of mothers everywhere will be celebrated by mother and child as they snuggle up together and say Thank You, God, for Mommy.

My review...

I got this book a few days after my birthday! I love it so much and so do my kids! The Panda Bear illustrations are precious...I love Pandas! My six year old son was so excited to read this book, he wanted to sit in my lap and cuddle while we read it, which I totally love...what mommy wouldn't. Although it is a short little picture book, it is powerful and very sweet and moving! The beginning of each page starts with "Thank you, God, for Mommy..." and has a adorable illustration to go with each page.

Thank You, God, for Mommy,

And lullabies so sweet—

The beating of her great, big heart

Sings me right to sleep.

I would highly recommend this for every family! It is a perfect book to share with you little ones. Share your love for them and God's beautiful love as well!

Book Review - Hermie & Friends: A Bug Collection DVD Box Set


Hermie & Friends: A Bug Collection DVD Box Set
Some grumpy bees, silly ladybugs and a non-praying mantis . . . all from the best-loved Max Lucado's Hermie & Friends® series!


Buzby and the Grumblebees—it’s about bee-having.

Haily & Bailey's Silly Fight—it’s about getting along.

Milo, the Mantis Who Wouldn't Pray—it's about prayer.

Enjoy the voice talents of Tim Conway, Melissa Disney, Richard Kind, and Sam Mercurio at their very best in this one-of-a-kind box set.

A Bug Collection, Hermie & Friends, 3 Complete DVDs. Including: Buzby and the Grumblebees—it’s about bee-having. Haily & Bailey's Silly Fight—it’s about getting along. and Milo, the Mantis Who Wouldn't Pray—it's about prayer. The DVD's are great way for young children to learn about prayer, good behavior, and getting along with others. These three DVDs are set up using an outstanding lesson plan as a model.

What's not to love? Bright, Fun and colorful characters, the fact that they are worms, bees, ladybugs and other insects is a HUGE plus in our home, coupled with biblical teaching, and Max Lucado's story telling, make this series of Hermie and Friends an excellent choice for kids of all ages, my 6 years old thoroughly enjoyed them. During Haily & Bailey's Silly Fight, I could hear him interacting with the fighting sisters. At one point they tell Hermie, "We're sister's, We don't fight" to that my son responded "Brothers and sisters fight, but that doesn't mean they don't love each other."

Hermie & Friends: A Bug Collection DVD Box Set is wonderful choice for a family to enjoy together and then talk about afterwards. Even the twins (18 months) enjoyed the set. They like dancing to the songs!

I would definitely recommend these to family and friends!
