My little guy at 4 1.2 months old already has a few favorite toys! I have to admit it’s really fun to see how engaged they can get with a toy! Currently he’s in love with his Lamaze Octivity Time Toy which is recommended to babies ages 6 months and up.

Lamaze Octivity Time Toy is super vividly colorful! And in this house the more color the better. Toys with bright colors always seem like more fun with kids! This toy has clinky rings, a spinning starfish, a seahorse teether, a mirror, and  legs that feel soft, make crinkly noises, and more! There’s even a Velcro strap on the bottom which is perfect for attaching this toy onto a stroller, car seat, crib rail, you name it!

My son is really good at grasping and holding things so this toy for him is the perfect companion! He can spend quite a bit of time  laying on his back, on his belly, or when in his car seat happily engaged with the octopus! He’s actually already starting to cut teeth so the little seahorse teether is very welcome at the moment! He also really likes the crinkly arm right now. A toy that’s eye catching, great for feeling different textures, and promotes baby to listen to different sounds is a mom and baby favorite!

We took this toy along with us on vacation a few weeks ago and I’ll have to say that it was a good move. Octopus kept my baby boy happy at the hotel and on the two hour trip there and back again. I highly recommend this toy and if you aren’t into Octopuses, I know they have other fun animal designs such as an elephant, moose, owl, peacock, and more!

Buy it: We purchased the Lamaze Octivty Time Toy for 19.99 at CSN Stores.com a few months ago. Though right now the Lamaze Octivity Time Toy On Amazon is on sell for just 16.49 regularly 24.99 and the product is also eligible for  free super saver shipping!

I sort of have a healthy obsession with Smart Mom Jewelry. And am beyond thrilled my latest Zebra printed pendant and Mother of Pearl bangle which are the latest additions to purchase!

I was introduced to this mom and baby friendly jewelry three years ago when my first child was born and to this day my collection has  grown drastically which isn’t a bad thing since I plan on having more children that’ll get good use out of it!

Now if you know nothing about this line of jewelry you should know it was specifically created to keep mom fashionable without having to worry about baby choking or chewing on potentially unsafe accessories and to keep your baby during the whole teething phase. I think these necklaces & bangles are genius because we all know once your little one can get a hold of things that it’s going directly into their mouth.

The Smart Mom Jewelry line is great! They have a variety of styles and colors to choose from. I like how  the styles mimic  those ever popular stone circle pendants. I had lots of people appalled at me at first because that thought I was letting my daughter chew on stone. They were relieved after I explained to them what my child was chewing on and thought the idea of it was ingenious! I like these so much that I  wear them even when I don’t have my daughter with me and was even complimented on them. I was quite amused and pleased that people  couldn’t tell the difference!

Smart Mom Jewelry also has pretty cute heart pendants, bangle bracelets, and even key chains! These pieces are safe for your baby or toddler to teeth and tug on. All pieces are non-toxic, phthalate, BPA, PVC, lead free, and even dishwasher friendly. All the pendants come with a breakaway clasp as an added safety feature. Though you should never leave your child alone with a pendant due to safety reasons.

This jewelry has made me happy were I can accessorize and not worry about the safety of my child. I’m a baby wearing mom so my children are usually always pretty close to me. These accessories have made both my children pretty happy too because neither of my children are given a pacifier so  they had nothing to chew on while I was carrying them around before.

I would have to say that the hardest part about purchasing this jewelry is picking it out due to the gorgeous variety! I can purchase happily knowing also that a percentage of all retail sales goes to CureSearch and Dress for Success, two  great charitable organizations.

Little Toader is a company that offers a fun selection of products made specifically for infants and toddlers.

I was certainly amused by their Appeteethers. These soothing teethers are pretty clever as there’s the Chompin’ Chicken Wings and Baby-Q Ribs!  APPETEETHERS are soothing for baby’s gums and safe because they are non-toxic and Phthalate free, BPA free, PVC free, and lead free. They come in a variety of colors and are textured! So when you are munching down on your favorite wings or ribs recipes you can safely offer these to your little one as a substitute!

Another one of the products offered by Little Toaders are StoryBook Pj’s of which I was able to review . Unfortunately the pj sample I was sent doesn’t quite fit my son yet and it was too small for my daughter.

The Storybook Pj set comes with a board book which is titled “A Safari with Boppo the Hippo,”. The fun thing about the pjs and the board book is that the images on the pj’s helps tell the story! I found the illustrations quite interesting. They look as if the story itself is a dream! Pretty neat, if you ask me.

The PJs are 100% cotton with a full-length zipper front and zipper guard, slip proof feet, and are available in sizes 6 months to 2T.

You can  purchase Little Toader products right on their site and other retailers online.  Coming soon are new teethers, pj sets, and sippy cups!
