My Favorite Finds - Cozy

Just after I was born, one of my mom's friends gave us a blanket from Roberta Roller Rabbit.  My mom had never seen one of these before and it quickly became one of our favorite things.  It is 100% cotton which is something my mom loves.  They are quilted and a little fluffy making them perfect for the beach, park or anywhere that needs to be a little more cushy.  My mom also likes to use them to line restaurant high chairs, public restroom changing tables, grocery cart seats and anywhere else that needs to be clean and soft.  She also uses these blankets to drape over my stroller when I'm napping in a public place like a restaurant, store or park.  It really helps drown out the sound and light so I can sleep.  We love briging them on the airplane too, because they make my mom's arms even more cozy to sleep in.  They also come in really pretty and unique prints.


 



We love Roberta Roller Rabbit blankets - one of our favorite finds!

My Favorite Finds - Bathtime!

After having 3 kids in 4 years and developing her own business, my mom has found some great products and companies that she really loves.  I thought it would be fun to share my thoughts on our favorite finds here every Sunday.  Welcome to my first Favorite Finds!



Even though this has been a mild winter in New York, my skin was still getting chapped and red.  My mom found these awesome bath products by Shea Moisture and they have really made a difference. While my mom only recently discovered Shea Moisture at a trip to our local Walgreen's, the company has been around a long time.  We use their Head-To-Toe Wash & Shampoo as well as the Head-To-Toe Ointment.  While they call it an ointment, it's more like a thick balm and can be used on my body, face and lips.

The wash and ointment have an amazing smell, not fruity or flowery, but serene and peaceful. Shea Butter Baby is fragranced naturaly by chamomile, lavendar, honeysuckle, frankincense, calendula and myrrh. They are rich and moisturing without being too heavy.  All of my dry patches disappeared within 3 days and I find the smell really relaxing before bedtime!




My mom is very conscious of all the products she uses on us and only buys those that are safe and chemical free. Shea Moisture Baby products are free of parabens, phthalates, paraffin, gluten, propylene glycol, minerol oil, synthetic fragrance, paba, synthetic color, dea and sulfates. They are not tested on animals and are Made in the USA.
