Chewbeads Review - Mommy Chic, Baby Safe

Question: What's the first thing babies reach for when you're holding them? My answer: necklaces and sunglasses! I recently came across the company, Chewbeads and have to say was immediately impressed. They make soft, bright, stylish, non-toxic jewelry that is SAFE for baby to chew on! How did I not know about this sooner? The idea was created simply by a mom who's son loved chewing on her necklaces, but she wanted a safe alternative.

I jumped online and purchased the Mulberry Teether in Turquoise (thanks for the coupon Chewbeads!). I fell absolutely in love with the super BRIGHT color combination! (I also wanted to immediately chew on it, but that's neither here nor there!). Let me tell you, this thing was a hit with my little "tester", who went to town for a good while.

Beads are made with 100% food grade silicone, have no BPA, no PVC, no Phthalates, no Cadmium, and no lead. You can wash with warm soapy water or pop this puppy in the dishwasher. There are no detachable parts and the necklaces feature a breakaway clasp for extra safety.

I couldn't be more pleased and intend to get back on their website and snag the matching Waverly Necklace!

You can find Chewbeads on their website, Facebook, and Twitter.

They've also recently made it into the Cool Mom Picks Ultimate Baby Shower Gift Guide. See it here!

Be "Smart" with Smart Bottoms Cloth Diapers

We love our Smart Bottoms! We recently had a chance to review the Too Smart 3.0 and a Smartfold from this company and couldn't be more pleased!

The Too Smart 3.0 (Smart Cover) is a waterproof one-size (6-35 lbs) diaper cover. It fits great over fitteds, prefolds, and inserts. My favorite part is the uber soft fleece around the legs! It is so soft and dreamy and will help contain leaks without leaving red marks on your little one. The Too Smart 3.0 also includes adjustable elastic in the legs and thigh snaps, to give you a more custom fit. The inside of the cover can be wiped clean and used again, should you not have any blowouts. My other favorite part of this cover are the heavy duty snaps - all too often snaps feel flimsy and you're half afraid to use them too much. Not with the Too Smart 3.0 - they feel like they will withstand the test of time!

Now, onto the Smartfold!! When it arrived, I thought to my self, "Self, this is huge!" The medium measures 13" x 17.5" prior to washing, and around 12.5" x 15.5" after washing. You can find dimensions of their other sizes here. It's made from 45% cotton and 55% hemp and has a very very nice feel to it, both before and after washing. This prefold is different than most in that it doesn't have seems down the center panel like most do. Reason being, "optimal absorption rate" and that is no joke - a great prefold if you have a heavy wetter! The prefold tucks very neatly into the Too Smart 3.0, so everything is in it's place and nice and trim.

This company also has a super great social media presence! They respond to comments/questions on Facebook and are regularly offering a deal of some sort. Great company, great products!! You can check them out on Facebook and Twitter, and don't forget to check out their Blog!
