Have you checked out the rad craze?

So for those of you who don't already know me.. (and my husband) we have a little shoe problem.. ok mines little.. his is not :) Don't get me wrong, I LOVE shopping for shoes, but what I love more than shopping for shoes for me, is shopping for shoes for my kids!

We own shoes from Nikes and Jordans- to Converse and TOMS.. and everything in between! but my newest obsession are  Freshly-Picked moccasins! I mean what better than soft soles that even my 2 year old can wear comfortably inside and outside without destroying!  Both of my kids really enjoy being barefoot, and with moccs they can feel near barefoot, and I can have the piece of mind that their little toesies are protected!

Its so hard these days to find shoes that actually stay on a kicking infants feet. I don't know about you but my 6 month old has some of the happiest feet I have ever seen.. and I don't have to worry about her kicking off her moccasins. Before I invested in a pair for her as well, she was kicking off every pair of shoes I got her in a matter of seconds, and they then became tiny little chew toys.. expensive chew toys ;) Freshly Picked have been a lifesaver to me, and have became a necessity when getting dressed to conquer our daily duties!

Nearly every time we are out an about, someone asks about the shoes on my toddlers feet. "How does he not ruin those?" is something I hear more often than not, its simple really.. Quality.
The team at Freshly picked uses Quality leather to construct their moccs. My son has about 7 pairs and he wears them daily. I have yet to see him "ruin" a pair.. and let me tell you he is all boy! They've seen mud, snow, and dirt. They have been ran across pavement, assisted him in climbing trees, and they've even been thrown in the toilet a time are two. I love that the more your little one wears them the more they mold to their feet. They create a time capsule of tiny little memories that you have the honor of experiencing each and every day.

I honestly have no "cons" to Freshly-Picked moccs. People complain that they are "pricey" but think of it as an investment.. an investment in your precious beings childhood memories. Owning a pair of Freshly-Picked moccs is like owning a kitchenAid mixer, It's a sort of right of passage! ;)

If you don't have a sibling to pass them on to, stick them in your child's memory box so that you can see that perfect little imprint left behind of how magical their childhood was!

baby brezza- formula pro

So those of you that follow me on instagram ( go follow me with this link) know that I have a strong love for new and modern baby products!

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to test out a pretty fantastic new product called the formula pro by baby brezza.. all I have to say is WOW. In just a few short weeks I feel like this little machine has changed my life! With my husband deployed, it's just me doing the job of 2 parents, and those of you with kids.. know how hard it is even if it's just while your spouse is away for a day! My kids are only 18 months apart, so to just be able to walk to the counter push a button and have a bottle made and warmed in just a few seconds is a life saver.

It holds just the perfect amount of water (50 ml) and the perfect amount of formula (about a can and a half, in my experiences) and it isn't huge and bulky! This handy little machine warms the bottle to the perfect tempature for baby to easily digest! Which was the biggest bonus in my oppinion,  no waiting 5 minutes for bottle warmer to warm up your bottle! The temp bar lets you know when the machine is at perfect tempature! There are also indicators to let you know when to add formula or water!

You have the option to make 2, 4, 6, 8, and even 10 oz bottles with a click of one single button! The best part? You can use ANY formula, there are different sized inserts that come with the machine for each formula, so the correct amount of formula is circulated and dispensed for each size bottle!

Another major bonus along with using any type of formula, is the abillity to use any size or shaped bottles! The rack adjusts up and down for different heights, and the machine Is wide enough to fit any bottle! I use multiple brands including dr. Browns that are very tall and tomee tippee brand that are extra wide! Both brands fit perfect!

Here is a video of the baby brezza in use!

This little machine really is magic. What's better then a machine that mixes the perfect amount of formula with water, warms it.. and leaves no clumps!!

Baby brezza is also working on a new line of colors! Though I don't believe they have a release date for the new colors, I will be sure to let you know when they do!

So there you have it- my take on the baby brezza formula pro! This is a must have for EVERY mommas registry! Is it on yours?
