We have been hitting some bitter-sweet milestones here at our house lately.

With in the last 3 months my 2 year old has turned into a big boy :(

We got rid of the binky, he is fully potty trained, and the most recent event was taking down the crib and upgrading him to a toddler bed.

To be honest, I was pretty nervous to make the switch to the bed.

To get to our room from his he needs to walk down a hallway and then turn after a staircase down another hallway area.

He doesn't really sleep well through the night and will wake up a couple of times. I was really worried that one of those times, instead of calling me in, he would realize his new freedom and try to come to me on his own. 

I was nervous that he wouldn't see where he was going, because it's so dark, and would fall down the stairs.

Do you see my legitimate concerns here??

Here is where this amazing product comes in to play!

This is the SnapPower Guidelight.

It replaces your old outlet cover and doubles as a nightlight. It doesn't require any batteries or wires, and leaves your outlets free.

My toddler and I are back with another review for you today!

This is the Color Fun Fish Bowl from The Learning Journey.

If that company sounds familiar it's because we also had the chance to review their Alphabet Fish (if you missed that review be sure to check it out as well, you can find it here)

Christmas is fast approaching and I have to say, this fun and educational toy might just have to be added to your shopping list, let's check it out, shall we?

My toddler and I had the opportunity to review this Touch Pad Alphabet Fish from The Learning Journey.

Let's take a look at all of the perks of this toy, shall we?

All 26 letters of the alphabet are uppercase with a correlating picture next to it.

The 'buttons' are actually flat and respond easily to a very light touch, which is great for little fingers!

LURAP Custom Clothing Review

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a representative from a company called LURAP (L-ove UR  Ap-perance). They asked if I would be interested in reviewing a garment from their website,

I was thrilled with the opportunity and hopped over to their site right away to see what they were all about.
The company boasts that they have sizes 0-36w and you can customize any piece for a minimal fee so it fits you.
If you've been around the blog here for a while, you might remember last year I was contacted by a different custom clothing company and offered a garment custom made for me.
You can find that full review on my blog, but let's just say I wasn't impressed (after receiving two dresses that were too big...)
Maybe that's why I was so thrilled with another opportunity here to have something made to fit ME.
That's the problem a lot of us have is finding something that actually FITS.
Something we don't have to alter.
After searching the website for a bit I made a choice.
The dress I choose is called Draped Midi Dress (pictured below on the left, that is the stock image from their website to show you what kind of fit I was EXPECTING to receive, and on the right we have the dress I ACTUALLY received).
Disappointing.
I will get into the details on that in a second.

I had picked this dress for a couple of reasons; I know the holidays are coming up in a few short months and I will be further along in my pregnancy. I know we've got a few events to attend, and I wanted to have something pretty, comfortable, flattering, and that I can dress up.

From the waist down the dress is wrapped, and the fabric is a cotton jersey. This would give the dress a chance to stretch a little over my expanding belly.

It's also machine washable, so, you know...super plus there.

The company was easy to work with and responded to emails pretty quickly.

I also sent my EXACT measurements and I asked to make the sleeves a 3/4 length instead of full length, and I excitedly waited.

A few days later I received the following email from the compay:

"Hi Michelle

We received an update from our design and manufacturing team that the hip size given by you was 32". Is it correct? According to them it should be around 36". Please confirm asap."

I was surprised they would say my measurements 'should' be larger, but I responded to the email saying the measurements I had sent were correct. I also asked if there was a reason for that, but I never received a response.

To be honest I was a little worried, and I was right...
