HasbroMy 3-year-old daughter just loves playing games which involve a ton of movement.  At her age, sitting still is not an option!  I've found the most successful toddler games in our home have simple, clear rules and incorporate a lot of motion.  Hasbro must have had these goals in mind when creating the Elefun & Friends Elefun Snackin' Safari Game.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Elefun & Friends Elefun Snackin' Safari Game from Hasbro, which retails for $14.99.

Sound+SleepI've always tried to treat my bedroom as a sleep sanctuary and have taken great pains to make sure that the lighting (or lack thereof), linens, mattress and pillows are all conducive to a great night's rest.  Any time you spend 1/3 of your life doing something, you should enjoy it, right?

Sleep is such a recooperative process and denying yourself a good night's rest is only going to cause more problems down the road.  Of course, one vital component to a successful slumber that often gets overlooked is the noise level in your bedroom.  More often than not, random noises can disturb your rest so that you never truly achieve quality sleep throughout the night.

Sound+Sleep nomad is a scientifically engineered adaptive sound sleep machine with features that allow you to relax and replenish your mind and body—without expensive pills and the negative effects of sleep medications.  Keep reading to learn more!

TravelproRecently, I had the opportunity to head to New York City to attend BlogHer '12, which of course meant that this Houston girl was airport bound!  Since I've always heard that packing light is one of the many keys to success at BlogHer, I was determined to look sharp, yet not overpack.

Since I wanted to style both in and out of the airport, I was thankful to have the chance to review one of the best designed garment bags I've ever seen.  For over two decades, Travelpro International has prided itself on design innovation and durability in crafting the highest quality luggage for travelers worldwide and I must admit that they knocked one out of the park with the WalkAbout Lite 4 Carry-On Rolling Garment Bag.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the WalkAbout Lite 4 Carry-On Rolling Garment Bag from Travelpro which retails for $440.00, but is currently on sale for $178.49 with FREE SHIPPING.

Juice Products AssociationDuring the dog days of summer, kids need a way to beat the heat and stay hydrated.  There are plenty of ways to quench their thirst, but oftentimes kids tend to turn to sodas or sugar-filled ades and juices.  That's when we, as parents, should step in and teach them a better way.

100% juices contain no added sugars, just the natural sugars present in whole fruit.  These juices are naturally nutritious and some are even fortified with extra vitamin C, calcium and vitamin D.  They're a perfect thirst quencher and can be used to bolster the nutritional value in a variety of recipes too.  Of course, don't forget that these juices always make a mean popsicle!  Keep reading to learn more and enter to win a huge 100% juice prize pack from the Juice Products Association!

JoovyWhen Riley was a wee one, I loved wearing her absolutely everywhere...around the house, at the store, for a walk around the neighborhood, etc.  It was wonderful to have her close to me so that I could constantly talk to her and make sure that she was safe.  I also loved being able to do all of this while having both arms free so that this mama could get stuff done!

In order to wear your child successfully, a high quality and well-designed baby carrier is essential.  Both mother and child must be comfortable at all times and many factors can either make or break a carrier of this sort.  Joovy focuses on designing and manufacturing family gear products that are extremely useful, practical, good-looking and fun.  It seems they've done it again with theBabaSling Organic Baby Carrier.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed theBabaSling Organic from Joovy, which retails for $119.99.
