Lucky Brush Toothbrushes

Lucky Brush Toothbrushes are so AWESOME!!!

The packaging is super cute! And the round handle makes it so easy for kids to hold it any way to be able to brush. I've never seen Lex so excited about brushing his teeth until we got these. They seriously do the trick. Before these I would have to practically make him brush his teeth, and now its like he loves doing it. Which I am so grateful for, we definitely don't want him to have a bunch of cavities and want him to have great dental hygiene. Another wonderful thing about Lucky Brushes are they can be used as teething toys, in the photo above it may look like the plastic is hard, but it is actually rubber so it bends all kinds of ways and is a nice soft rubber for babies to chew on. I have my 4 month old niece that I babysit during the week and she loves chewing on this, she still learning to grab so it only lasts for a few seconds but she still loves it. I am seriously so happy that we finally found something that we can use to get Lex to brush his teeth without a fight. We have bought every character toothbrush and toothpaste you can think of and its like no way I'm not brushing. But it has completely changed now. So thank you Lucky Brush for giving us such an awesome toothbrush for my little guy. We as parents definitely appreciate it. Right now there is a free shipping code: brush15 which you should definitely take advantage of because shipping is what always gets us, am I right? They are normally $5.95 but on sale right now for $3.99. That's an amazing deal! Visit their Facebook and give them some likes at https://www.facebook.com/luckybrushes and you can go to their website to order at www.luckybrushes.com. Seriously take advantage of this deal because you will NOT be disappointed. They are amazing, I wish they were made for adults lol! As always, here's some photos of Lex using his Lucky Brush. As you can see he is holding it all different ways.

Legendary Minis Co. Rompers and more

I came across Legendary Minis on Instagram and instantly fell in love! Her rompers are so amazing that I literally got I think 7 of them. All different characters and prints. My son loves them and is extremely comfortable in them. I believe she makes them out of t-shirts, which I love because instead of them going to waste I would much rather have them used as these awesome rompers. You all know me I'm all about recycling and upcycling items etc. And the fact that Lex loves them makes me love them even more. She definitely has true talent and it shows in her work. I just started sewing myself and I hope that one day I can make items this great. The prices are most definitely affordable as well ranging from $13-$30ish dollars depending on the romper. Most of these were sold on her sale page which you can reach on instagram @legendaryminisco.sale. She does have a regular website with different kinds of clothes and rompers, dresses, skirts etc. That website is www.legendaryminisco.com and to see some of the items you can visit her instagram @legendaryminis.co I promise you will not be disappointed. She ships usually within the first 2-3 days for the sale site, which is awesome because I got mine within a week. And I had a bunch of them. Make sure you go give her pages some likes and make some orders. I highly recommend this company. Thank you so much for being so sweet and giving us the best rompers we've seen so far and hopefully one day I can become as good as you. You honestly inspired me to go out there and get my sewing machine, which is something I've been really wanting to do, but never thought I would be able to sew, and now look at me I have done it! Thanks again mama! And as always here's some photos of Lex wearing this super awesome romper that will definitely make you laugh.

Funki Flamingo Baby Carrier Wrap

The Funki Flamingo Baby Wrap is extremely comfortable! I have tried other wraps similar, and this material is a lot better! The material is a lot tighter on my than the others I have tried which makes me feel like my baby is a lot safer, I'm not saying that I don't like other wraps, but of this type this is my new favorite. I actually felt like it was able to hold her without slipping. And the front carry I had her in she LOVED! I was able to get laundry done and all kinds of other house chores. And she wasn't stuck looking at my chest, she was able to check out everything I was doing which is a huge plus because babies get bored so easily, and when you need to get work done it is hard to do when you have an infant or toddler. I love the color as well. I love the dark grey color because it is neutral for a boy or girl. Also how cool is the name Funki Flamingo? I love it! Their customer service is great! I've had a great experience talking to the owner. And such a great experience with this carrier. I highly recommend them! Like them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/FunkiFlamingo, you may visit their website to take a look, and also see the tutorial video at www.funkiflamingo.com To place an order you can click on the link for amazon on their website or you can visit amazon at this link and place the order yourself http://www.amazon.com/funkiflamingo Right now you can get it for $33.99 on sale, regular price is $54.99 which is extremely affordable and a great price. The quality is seriously an amazing quality. Especially for that price. So thank you to Funki Flamingo for giving us a great quality wrap that is easy to use with great material. I can't wait to put my 2 year old in it.
And as always here are the lovely photos of me and my niece

Willlow Beans: Organic Cotton Swaddles, Bamboo Muslin Swaddles, and Organic Bamboo washcloths

Willow Beans is one of my favorite companies for swaddles! My favorites are the Bamboo Muslin swaddles, I swear as soon as you feel how soft these are you will never go back to another swaddle again! They are absolutely amazing!!! The washcloths as well, I was supposed to use them for my son and found myself using them for myself as well! I couldn't help it! I've never used a bamboo product before but now I don't want to switch. The Bamboo swaddles and washcloths both come in white, but the Organic Cotton Swaddles come in 3 different prints/colors, which are so pretty! Definitely neutral as well. Most people think blueish or teal colors are for boys but really when you put them on a girl (like you will see in the photos) they look just as great. My other favorite thing about these swaddles is how big they are you can use them for a long time, my 2 year old can probably use them still. Willow Beans has other blankets as well, I wish I got one of those to try out as well because they are adorable! Willow Beans is very price friendly as well. For 4 Bamboo swaddles it is only $37.00, that makes it $9.25 a swaddle, where else can you find swaddles for that price for great quality? NO WHERE! The washcloths are $18.99 for 6 of them, so $3 each for the softest thing I've ever felt lol. I'm not just saying this because I am reviewing a product, I'm seriously addicted to these things! The best place to find their products is on their website or amazon. I contacted them through Facebook and the owner is so absolutely  sweet! I 100% will recommend this company to everyone and anyone. These also make for great baby shower gifts, most new moms don't know much about swaddling, or swaddles, which I actually found out yesterday at a photo session. So this is a great way to get them acquainted and help them learn about the different kinds and types. So please give Willow Beans a follow on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/willowbeans. Visit their website to order at www.willowbeans.com or you can go to amazon and shop there, which is great for prime members www.amazon.com/willowbeans. I promise you that you will not be disappointed with any product you get from them or their customer service. A big thank you to Willow Beans for these amazing new wonders your have sent me, and I can't wait to work together again. And as always here are some photos for all of you.

Grandma's Lavender Bath Set and Happy Bum Cream review (best all natural products I've used)

Grandma's Lavender sent me a wonderful baby bath set that I am completely obsessed with. In the set you get the Baby Bath, which can be used for soap or added just for soothing purposes. The smell is absolutely amazing! It comes with Baby Bath Tea Bags which aid in soothing for night time bath time. It also comes with the Baby Butter, this baby butter is the softest cream/lotion like thing I have ever felt. I don't only use it for my son but also myself. It makes our skin SO soft. She also sent me the Happy Bum Cream which is my absolute favorite item out of the bunch. Now all of these products are made from completely natural ingredients, so a lot of people are skeptical about them working or not. Well here is your proof: my son had this rash/ dry skin down on his little booty and man parts, I even took him to the doctor and they told me to put hydrocortisone cream on it, didn't work. It wasn't extremely painful for him, but it just wouldn't go away, so as soon as I got the Bum Cream I put it on, and I swear within 2 uses the rash and the dry patches were almost completely gone. By the third time it was healed completely. I was so amazed and now that is the only thing I will be using for his rashes. He rarely gets them and normally the A&D ointment works but this time it didn't but that Happy Bum Cream is a life-saver and absolutely amazing! It's only $12.00 for a 4 ounce container, which is a great price considering how much you get. It may not sound like a lot, but it's a pretty big container. The gift set is $37.50 and is well worth the price. (it does not come with the happy bum cream). She also has products for after birth, for breastfeeding mothers, for fevers, a diapering set, and more. I highly recommend Grandma's Lavender for baby shower gifts. It's such an easy choice, or even a gift for mom right after birth. I wish more people would understand how good the natural products actually work and heal. Think about back in the day before we had any of these things filled with chemicals, we used natural herbs and flowers, and more to heal. I use essential oils all the time. I definitely plan on buying more from Grandma's Lavender. Maybe she will share her secrets with me ;) Of course I wont post photos of my son naked with the cream on, so I took photos of all of the product for you to see. Also, for the month of September a portion of all sales will be going to The Center for Women in Jackson, Michigan. They help women who are pregnant or have children under the age of two who are facing life challenges, so to me that is a great reason to order, besides how great the quality is. Please like  her facebook at Grandma's Lavender Facebook Page to read more about it. And visit her actual website to place an order at http://www.grandmaslavender.com/ Thank you so much Grandma's Lavender for one, providing the best natural products I've seen so far, and two, for helping pregnant women in need. For that I am very grateful. And as always thank you for the personalized note! I love getting those!!

Finally a personal post

Okay everyone so im gonna tell you what's been going on in our lives lately. First of all my photography business is going great! I've been booked like crazy! So thank you to all of my wonderful clients. Can't wait to do the sneak peeks from today. My review blogging is also going great. I have probably about 15 items I need to get done right now, which is a little overwhelming but so worth it. I love getting to try products for Lex and show them all to you. We are still battling our infertility issues, which I am on medication for. I've unfortunately suffered through 5 miscarriages so getting pregnant isn't the problem, keeping the pregnancy is the problem. Until recently I would think I'm only 26 how could this happen to me so young?! And in reality I've gotten so much support from moms who have done this. So that's taken a lot of weight off my shoulders. If any of you want more information about the route we are taking please comment below and I'll answer anything you want to know. We haven't gotten to the point where we need IVF yet, and we're hoping it doesn't get to that point. So wish us some baby dust this month, we really need it!!! I would love to hear your stories if you have gone through this as well. As I  said sometimes I feel so alone. If you don't want everyone to read it you can email me at mylittlepiecesoflove@yahoo.com 

And tell your story there. Other than that Lex is doing great. He's a little lonely I feel because he doesn't really have anyone his age to be with, unfortunately he still hasn't seen his cousins. We miss them so much. I miss their cute little faces and how loving my niece was, and how smart my nephew was. It crushes my heart that our family is torn apart, which I think is why I'm wanting a second baby so bad, I don't want lex alone. I always think whether his cousins think about him. If they miss him? My nephews birthday is coming up and I don't even know if I should get a present. I really wish that I could see them. But as you all know the story I haven't gotten an apology for the threats so I guess it's going to be a long time before we see them. Anyways, Lex is starting to talk a lot more! He's speaking Spanish even. And completely understands it. Which is great im so happy about that. He is extremely smart. David and I are doing well, I think we could be doing better but I know I can be hard to deal with lol! But thank you all for following my blog and I hope that all of you mamas comment below or send me an email. I'd love to answer any questions. Thank you, and as always here is my photo of the week
