Having a little girl is SO MUCH FUN! The dresses, the shoes, the princesses, the baby dolls. I love it all! And as the years have gone by, I have patiently waited for her beautiful hair to grow long enough to play with, and now, less than 2 months away from her 3rd birthday, it has become any every day ritual to “pick a bow”. Now this didn’t happen overnight. It took a few weeks of daily rituals of brushing her hair, and even now, she still will not allow me to put her hair into any form of a ponytail. But what she WILL let me do, is put her hair in pretty bows and headbands. I’ll take it! I’m in heaven!

This has opened up a whole new world for me! I have perused local retail stores, boutiques, etsy, eBay, you name it! But my most favorite hair accessory maker of all-time can be found right under my nose, on FACEBOOK!

Amazing, talented, sweet, creative…..those are only a few words used to describe Cat, from The Crafty Cat Corner! She comes up with the cutest and most unique bows, clippies, & headbands I have ever seen. But the best part is, she is willing to work with me to customize items to match outfits Lily already has! For example, I had mentioned I was looking to do Lily’s third birthday party with a Paris theme. Cat was able to create this beautiful bow, for Lily to wear to her birthday party!

Now, I know what your asking. How much do they cost? The normal price range for Cat’s items are $2-$10. That is a STEAL if you ask me! You can’t find bows like these is just a store! Let alone, something custom made to your specifications?! It’s amazing.

My second daughter turned two years old 6 weeks ago. As she has been showing interest in the toilet for many months, we’ve just let this be a slow progression. With this slow progression however, I wanted some kind of transition wear, like a pull-up, that could provide easy accessibility for bathroom trips, but also offer protection against accidents. Also, because I have been experiencing the benefits of cloth diapering since I began having children (my oldest is now 7) I knew I wanted to find some kind of cloth option. I found just what I was looking for in Super Undies.

Jubilee tried out their pull-on in caped canary. My husband dubbed them her “Safety Underwear” and it’s what she wears on outings- like when it really matters if some bodily fluid escapes . She has had every kind of accident in the 4 months we’ve had this sucker and it holds it all. In fact the only semi-leakage we’ve had is slightly damp edges, and only that with some pretty heavy wetting. I turn it inside out and it washes up perfectly with my 10 month olds cloth diapers, ready to safely transport her from here to there once more.

Super Undies has everything you need for your potty training endeavor. From pull-ons and night time underwear to the accessories like inserts and water-proof sheets.

Designed to meet the luxe needs of today’s conscious parents and their savvy tots, the Madii & Dyl range came about when mother of two, Jackie was unable to find products that met the sensitive needs of her children.

“Suffering from eczema, Madii’s skin reacted to most of the baby creams and washes available and once irritated, wetting and washing her would further dry out her skin.” 

“Searching for the ideal pillow for Dyl, I found that cotton/ polyester pillows were a breeding ground for mites; buckwheat uncomfortable and dusty; feathers had no shape and were support-less; and memory foam un-washable and made from harsh chemicals.”

I share these same concerns for my own children, so was very pleased when I discovered this Australian-based  company.

Eczema and seasonal allergies are a constant battle in our home. I’m sure those of you that struggle as well can relate…it’s not fun to see your little one suffering from allergies, but knowing you can provide them with products that will help ease their condition is just wonderful.

We have been loving our teenii tot pillow.  I’m usually very hesitant when I start letting my baby have a pillow. You know the stage, when you want to start adding a pillow, but then have a feeling they’re just not ready, so you opt not to til they’re like 2 1/2? Well, my littlest one will be 18 months next month , so while I have yet to let him have it at night, I have let him use it during the day for naps, and he just loves it.  I feel more comfortable with this pillow for a few reasons. The first reason is that it’s made for toddlers and walkers. Second, it has this really cool shape, it’s not very thick and it’s designed for proper neck support. But my favorite feature is the self-ventilating cores which provide maximum air-flow, making me feel safer than with a regular old pillow.

{heart} It

 madii & dyl latex pillows are made from organic latex, contain no chemicals, are hypoallergenic and naturally resistant to dust mites, mildew and bacteria. Not only do they offer a great pillow for toddlers, they also have a newborn pillow and a pillow for the bigger kiddo too.

If you are reading She {hearts} It, then I have to assume that you have come across a flash sale site or two (or way more!) in your time browsing the blogosphere! I have my favorites, but today, I want to talk about Totsy, a private sale site just for mom’s (or dads) that I love to visit daily, to see what steals I can score, all at or under my budget!

Just today, I was looking over all of the blowout sales they currently holding. From kids boots, to apparel for Mom’s, toys and games, decor, outerwear, and more, I often find myself “ooh-ing” and “ahh-ing” over numerous items, for me, for my kids, or for just about anybody I know! And with the prices, you can’t beat the deals.

Totsy is by invite or referral only, so if you aren’t a member, feel free to email me at jen@sheheartsit.com and I will be happy to send your name along. Then you can get inviting YOUR friends, and racking up referral credits (once they make their first purchase). Today, I found a cute tee and cardigan, all for only $17 (before shipping!) and since I had a referral credit, I ended up paying only $9.95 (majority of that being shipping). Now I am not sharing totsy with you just to get some referrals my way, but I truly want to share with you the amazing deals that can save you money, in a time that most of us our pinching our pennies.

Tee ~ only $5 on totsy.com

sweater ~ only $12 on totsy.com

Tips on using Totsy:

~Check out the site DAILY. Sales only last 24-48 hours typically, and once the items are gone, they’re gone. By becoming a member, you will get daily emails sharing the sales with you as well.

~Be sure to check the return policy. Many, if not all, of the blowout sales are FINAL SALES, so double and triple check the description and sizing charts, to make sure you get what you pay for.

~Being a Flash Sale Site, you sometimes have to wait a bit longer to get the products. When you add an item to your cart, it will tell you when the estimated delivery date is. Make sure you are okay with that date, or if the item is a gift or for a holiday, so you will have it in time.

~The only thing that I’d like to see changed with Totsy is making a “search” section available. Since many items do not have all sizes available at all times, it can get a bit frustrating, for example, to sift through ALL of the kids boots looking for ANYTHING that is in a certain size. You can filter by GIRLS, BOYS, and MOMS & DADS, but that’s it.

Again, be sure to check out all those Blowout Sales, they are all ending today, so don’t miss out on some last minute sales. You won’t regret it.

Until trying the Blueberry Basix AIO Cloth Diaper, I had never used an All in One diaper before. I’ve been “testing” this diaper for about two months so that I could give it a thorough review! So far, we love it! From the adorable owl print, to the crazy-soft microfleece interior (that still looks brand new, btw), what’s not to love?

For those of you who may not be familiar with various kinds of diapers, an All in One diaper is one that has the liner attached to it (so you don’t have to match up liners and outer layers after drying).  The attached liner is just stuffed back into the pocket after you dry the diaper on the line or in the dryer.  The liner also agitates itself out in the wash so you don’t have to pull out a wet liner before laundering.  The pocket also allows for additional inserts (purchased separately) to be added if needed.

I found the Blueberry Basix diaper to be very absorbent.  I could use it for naps or at night and trust that it would hold everything in as well as my daughter’s other diapers!

This is a sized diaper, so I tried the medium for my 16-month-old.  It worked great for her, plus there is room for expansion in the waist due to the multiple snaps for size adjustment.  You can purchase this awesome diaper in newborn, small, medium, and large.

After having a baby you have enough on your plate without adding remembering feeding times, diaper changes, or when a nap is due. Itzbeen can take some of that stress off new mama’s and completely bypass most of the “How long has it been since…” questions. Dubbed the “pocket nanny” Itzbeen keeps track for you.

A simple press of a button resets each timer (however you can lock the buttons which is a handy/necessary feature when you also have a toddler in the house), and there is a soft glow for ease of use at night. There is even a slide marker to keep track of which side baby fed on last for those who breast feed.

I think the Itzbeen could be particularly helpful for newbies, or in homes where there is more than one main caretaker. Even in the go-with-the-flow kinda home that I keep, I still found the Itzbeen occasionally useful, especially the extra timer- so I can also easily time my 2 year olds nap.

You can find Itzbeen, available in 3 colors, at many online retailers or in stores near you.

Everything Happy, with a name like that what’s not to love? Now go a step further and read how Everything Happy came to being and you’ll love it a little more…really.

Beginning with combining two things kids love, blankets and stuffed animals, the Happy Blankie was born. Each adorably crafted blanket is available in three sizes- from small, a perfect snuggle companion, all the way to large, big enough to wrap around your body.

After the success of the Blankie, they’ve expanded to include Happy Pals and Happy Threads (babies can now wear these happy animal smiles). I look forward to seeing Everything Happy’s continued growth because I love, and hope you will to,  supporting a company so dedicated to everyone’s happiness.

There are eight characters to choose from so you can find the one that brings the biggest smiles. Tobias made us happy, who makes you happy?

{heart} It

With their “One to love, One to give” mission, each product you purchase also provides “one to give” for a child in need. This company works hard to not only bring smiles to ones you love, but hands out smiles around the world. What an awesome way to give back this holiday season!

If you’ve followed She {hearts} It since the beginning… I am sure you have heard me talk about my love for Hazelaid. It is one of my favorite companies around & the owners are precious!

You can read my full review on Baltic Amber HERE & HERE.

This post however is to make you all aware of something Hazelaid now offers. Not to long ago they started selling their products through Amazon… so that those with Amazon prime could take advantage of the FREE SHIPPING offered.

I use amazon prime & shopping with it for Christmas has been amazing.

To those curious why Owen still wears his Amber… even though he has the majority of his teeth, he actually is still teething. He has 2 year molars coming in right now… Also Baltic Amber helps with so much more than just teething…

“Amber is also known to reduce inflammation of the throat, ear and stomach and to fight irritation, infections and respiratory disease as it dramatically improves the body’s immunity….. Many adults report improvement of arthritis discomfort and carpal tunnel pain in their hands when wearing amber on the wrists. You can think of it as a natural Ibuprofen.”

There are lots of benefits! That go way beyond the teething stage :)

{heart} It

So if you are in the market for a baltic amber necklace or possibly hazelwood… check out the Amazon Prime listings through Hazelaid… or if you don’t use amazon prime, you can still shop via www.hazelaid.com.

She {hearts} Savings

Hazelaid would like to offer our readers 10% off any purchase throughout this Christmas season.

So at checkout use the promo: sheheartsit10
(promo will not work on the Hazelaid amazon shop – only hazelaid.com)

One of our Christmas traditions in our family is getting new pajamas! I recently discovered some awesome pjs that I am so excited to share with you!

Escapee Jays are “escape-proof pajamas”… that is, they are uniquely designed to prevent your sweet baby from working their way out of their pajamas during the night (or first thing in the morning).  The pajamas have a back zipper, the top of which is covered by a tab of fabric, so they can’t unzip themselves. The sleeves and legs all fit snugly (as is appropriate for safe sleepwear) and they keep your toddler from pulling their arms inside to unfasten their diaper. The neck hole is also perfectly sized so it fits over your baby’s head but does not allow the child to pull it over their shoulder and escape.

In addition to all these great features, the pajamas come in cute colors of “jailbird stripes.” I love the lavender with pink trim, and so far we haven’t had any escapes or unfastened diapers! The pajamas fit true to size, but they are snug as safe child’s sleepwear should be.

These would be so fun to give as Christmas gifts… yet so practical at the same time!

{heart} It

You can purchase Escapee Jays here (girls) and here (boys) for $21.99. When you buy three pairs, you get Jay, the plush mascot, free!

She {hearts} Freebies

One lucky She {hearts} It reader will win a pair of Escapee Jays (color of choice), plus Jay, the plush mascot ($31 ARV)!
