Ready 4 Baby D: Angela's Creations Review

About Angela's Creations:
I am a mother of three girls, and have decided to join the etsy family and share my designs. I enjoy sewing and everything embroidery. Thanks for taking the time and checking out my site.
My Thoughts:
Angela sent us this adorable bib to review. I loved the animals and tractors as it gives us something to talk about with the boys at the dinner table. This bib is the perfect size for a baby just learning to eat. It has a small neck but a large belly covering which makes it ideal for this purpose. This bib is also not overly thick which helps it not to drown a small child but is absorbent enough to withstand small amounts of fluid.
If you're looking for adorable items at great prices make sure you check out Angela's Creations HERE and let her know Kerrific sent you.

Ready 4 Baby D: Charlotte & Claire Review

About Charlotte & Claire:
My name is Angelyn and I'm the mother of two beautiful girls, Charlotte and Claire. I'm originally from Louisiana but my husband is in the military so we get to move around often! I'm an elementary school teacher, but since the birth of my youngest almost two years ago I've been a stay at home mom and I'm loving every minute of it! I started making tutus for my youngest daughter about a year ago to use for picture props, and recently decided to start selling them. 

Thanks for looking! 



My Thoughts:
Angelyn was so kind and absolutely wonderful to work with. She sent me this adorable pillowcase dress to review. It went to a very sweet little girl however it was a little to big so I will try to post photos later this summer when it fits her better. The dress was very well made and the pattern was just adorable. It is made of cotton that was very soft and will be easy to clean. Also, it is nice that Angelyn makes all her dresses to order so they are made for your child's measurements. (Note: the sample dress was made in approximate size and is true to the size requested.) I loved working with Angelyn at Charlotte & Claire and will be visiting here shop again when I need gifts for the cute little girls in my life. 


If you know a little girl who needs something special make sure you visit Charlotte & Claire today. And like them on Facebook to see all the adorable new designs.

Ready 4 Baby D: Pixieval Review

About Pixieval:
I am a proud military wife, learning how to live in a small time at a slower paced lifestyle. I have a beautiful 3 year old daughter, and a wonderful husband.
My family and I are learning to live green, live wiser, live with what is already made commercially(and not have more commercial items created) and live cheaper. 
My passions are crocheting, felting, sewing and collecting vintage items.
I enjoy find old and good quality items like patterns and pottery that I can share with others who may be looking for them.

Stay on top of my latest sales, coupons and newest items by clicking like on my Facebook page! 


My Thoguhts:
We were sent a set of dryer balls to review and I have been completely amazed by how easy they are to use and how much they have reduced drying time. I do wish these dryer balls were a little larger as I sometimes have a hard time finding them but overall the result is great. We have completely quit using dryer sheets and have not noticed a difference in static. Our favorite item to use these on is our cloth diapers. It has made them dry so much faster that we now only have to run them through the dryer once. As a side note, with 3 in diapers we are washing very large loads of laundry. I also love that Pixieval's balls come without scent as scenting things is always a concern with our children's sensitive skin. 


If you're looking for a great way to save money visit Pixieval and order your set of Dryer Balls today. One lucky person will be given the chance to win a set of dryer balls later this month so stay tuned.

My Thoughts:
I was so excited to try Prefense because we use hand sanitizer on a daily basis. I always keep some in my car because between the shopping, animals, and kids it seems like we always need it. The one thing I did not like about this sanitizer is that it left my hands feeling slightly sticky for the first few minutes. This is not really a big deal but it was somewhat frustrating when I was trying to get them clean. Other than that however I thought the product was great. I loved that the sanitizer came out as suds instead of as a glob of goo. This made it so much easier for B & C to spread around. I also loved the lack of scent as this is something that drives me crazy with most sanitizers.

Ready 4 Baby D: Ju'Tri Review


About Ju'Tri:

The knitting has been with me all of my life. I still remember the first scarf I made for my Dad that was different widths from all the dropped stitches. I think I was 5 years old and found knitting challenging! My projects never turned out how I imagined them. Now, I have the experience to create my own projects. Most of my inspiration comes from everywhere and anywhere, but it helps to live in a picturesque region of BC.


I first started making soap shortly after my first child was born. I didn’t realize that most soaps on the market are actually detergents and not true soap. When my children got a bit older, I started to really appreciate my “alone time” showers and targeted soaps for “me.” After a few mishaps, I finally developed the perfect soap. Creamy lather combined with ingredients meant to stimulate the senses. 

After the bar soap recipe came the liquid soaps for shampoos, hand cleansers, facial cleansers, and shaving soap. Finally, the cream soaps emerged. These are meant for body washes, facial cleansers, foot scrubs, and really dirty hands. 

As the years go on I hope to branch out into other areas of cleansing. There is so much to learn in what seems to be such little time. 
As my children were born in the Kootenays, so is my love for making soap.

Check out my Facebook page at Ju'Tri Luxury Soap and Hand Knitted Items to see what I'm working on right now!


My Thoughts:
Ju'Tri sent me an awesome selection of products to review. The wash cloths and soap bag were well made, adorable and oh so soft. I love using them on both myself and the kids because of their size and quality.


The soaps I was sent are beautiful and smell absolutely wonderful. It is nice to be able to feel pretty when I use them.

E's favorite item from this set was the lip balm. It was the chocolate scent and really did smell good enough to eat. I was also surprised how well it worked. I go through a lot of lip balm during the winter months here in Idaho because it is so cold and windy. I did let B try it one day but he had more fun licking it off his lips then letting it moisturize them. :)

I also loved the face cream. A little bit really does go a long way and it does an awesome job. The scent didn't set so well with me while I was pregnant but I am able to enjoy this wonderful product now that this is no longer a problem. I love what this does to my skin and I can't wait to try the Facial Cleanser because if it works as well as the cream and has the awesome cucumber scent it will be heavenly!

If you're looking for some great bath & beauty products make sure you check out Ju'Tri at her Shop or on Etsy. Also watch for a great giveaway later this week!

Ready 4 Baby D: Virtue of Domesticity Review

About Virtue of Domesticity:
Welcome to The Virtue of Domesticity! Thank you for visiting my shop. Here you will find all things related to home and family. I love to sew and craft in general. This shop is an outlet for me to continue to create and learn beyond the needs of my family and friends.
Due to space and low volume I do not make items to stock and currently most my listings are for custom work. Turn around time is fast and currently is 1 week or less from date of order payment. I love to work on custom orders and have tons of fabric available. If you would like any of my creations in another print or even have a certain sewing project you would like to have made feel free to convo me. I have done mostly custom work through other groups and sites for some time and sold on Ebay. I am fairly new to Etsy and realize the lack of feedback here can be of concern to some. If you wish to see my Ebay feedback (300+ positives) I can provide my information to you so you may verify just convo me for that.
From time to time I do need to destash so I can continue to purchase more supplies for crafting. During destash I will list supplies and surplus creations to make room for the new. My home is small and there is no way I could continue to create without doing the seasonal destash. The supplies seen listed will likely not be seen again unless we see such demand it makes sense to stock and sell again.
We strive to provide customer satisfaction. Please feel free to convo me with suggestions and ideas. Your input is valuable and can help me grow as seller and crafter.
Thank you for your support!
Have a beautiful blessed day!




My Thoughts:
We were sent this adorable baby wrap to try. We have never had a  baby wrap like this before and were anxious to try it out. When this wrap arrived we instantly fell in love with the cute pattern, E was a big fan of the orange, and B is always happy to help by finding the giraffe blanket for us. We do use it regularly and D seems to enjoy it although we have learned that he will sleep longer if he is swaddled in a blanket that holds his feet better. Usually at night we swaddle him in a blanket and then put him inside the wrap that helps to hold his blanket closed. It has been great because we know he is staying covered and he stays bundled up. Yeah for 6 straight hours of sleep!

This is an awesome product and would make a great gift for any expectant parent. I wish I would have had this when B was little prior to the NICU swaddling training I received with C.  Please check out all of Virtue of Domesticity's products HERE and watch for a great giveaway later this week.
