First Time Mom and Losing It

**I received the product below free for my review. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be a good fit for my readers. All opinions are 100% my own.


A couple of months ago I went to the New York Baby Show and got to see the latest products for pregnant mamas, babies and toddlers. One of my favorite picks of the show was the GB QBit Stroller. I was so impressed at how it folded up into a small cube and was super lightweight. About a month ago I was sent one for my review even before they came out to the public!


I have been using the GB QBit stroller for a month now and have to say that GB really thought out all the features that would be helpful to a parent. First of all I love that the stroller folds into a cube and stands up by itself. Every other stroller I have owned closed up long and narrow so I always had trouble leaning it against something to stand up or walking down the stairs with it being so long and banging all over the stairs.



I take the QBit stroller with me whenever we are going to be walking for a long time and I know my toddler will eventually get tired. Since we live in NYC and take public transportation a lot, it's nice to have the QBit fold into a cube and fit right underneath the seat on the bus or next to the seat on the train. I also love that it has a handy little travel bag right underneath the stroller seat. This is especially useful to keep the stroller clean when are on crowded NYC trains.


At only 15 pounds the stroller is also super easy for me to handle and really take it anywhere I am going. I feel completely safe as I hold my daughter's hand and the stroller in it's bag around my shoulder when we are walking down stairs. I love that the seat has a nice cushion and the harness makes my daughter secure. It also has a huge canopy that has great coverage when it is sunny outside. The spacious under seat storage is perfect for shopping trips or for my huge mommy bag and some toys.


The GB QBit Stroller is now available at Babies "R" Us stores and babiesrus.com in three beautiful colors and at specialty stores in two more colors.

This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Pampers. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine.


Last Month I introduced the Baby Got Moves Campaign where Pampers is helping keep babies happy by keeping them dry. Their diapers are so absorbent that they keep babies dry and happy even over night

During the campaign parents were able to upload videos or photos of their happy dancing babies to Instagram, Twitter and Facebook using hashtag #BabyGotMoves. Some of the videos had a chance to be included in the compilation video below created by Pampers.

When I found out I was having a girl one of the first thoughts I had was all the pretty bows I could put on her. I love the big boutique ones to the little mini bows. I was lucky that my daughter tolerated me putting all these cute bows and flowers on her head even when she was a newborn. Now that my daughter is a toddler she loves wearing them still. I will let her go into her big box of accessories and let her pick one that matches her outfit.

After reviewing the super cute Lacy Romper from Girls Crochet Headband I was thrilled that they wanted me to review their head bands.

As a first time mom I have always followed the rule that a dry baby is a happy baby. I have always loved using Pampers diapers especially overnight because they keep my daughter super dry. Don't you just love when babies wake up with a smile on their face instead of with a cranky little face?


Pampers is helping keep babies happy with their #BabyGotMoves campaign by keeping them dry. Parents can upload videos or photos of their happy dancing babies to Instagram, Twitter and Facebook using hashtag #BabyGotMoves. The uploaded videos have a chance to appear in a shareable compilation video created by Pampers.

My daughter loves dancing and will go around and around every time she hears her favorite song "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. I think I might have to put her in ballet classes really soon!

I received a cute little Heroes of the City package for my review and honest opinion of the app. All opinions are 100% my own. 

I was excited with the company that created the cute characters from Heroes of the City came out with a Baby App.

The Baby App is a cute little app made for the youngest little ones that may just be starting to use a tablet device. (Recommended age of 0-2+). The app is jam packed with many fun things to do.

1. Cute Movies - My daughter loves the characters so these short clips are awesome to keep her entertained when I am picking her up from my mom's. I love that you have to the option to download them onto the iPad when you don't have access to WiFi.

2. Shapes Sorter -  There are three shapes that must be placed on top of it's matching pair. A sound of clapping, that my daughter enjoys to hear goes off when they have all been correctly matched.

3. Piano - Your little one can play the piano on a cute colorful keyboard with lively beats playing in the background.

4. Paint -  You little one can let their imaginations run wild while the paint with different colors.

5. Pop the Balloons - Babies and toddlers will have fun popping the balloons that float up.

The best part of the app is that is completely free with no advertising or in-app purchases. You can download it for apple devices or android devices.
