Graco Sweet Slumber Sound System

As we do the final 8 week countdown on our end until baby arrives, we're realizing that big items, like the car seat, and stroller need to be addressed. Ack. I'm waiting to go to the BabyTime Show (April 30-May 2nd) to go see a variety of strollers and see which one may be the best for us. Being able to speak with the stroller companies directly at the show is an amazing opportunity. I'll take pictures & be sure to update you on the collections of strollers that I see!

In the meantime, I thought I'd post about something I keep hearing about from all my girlfriends that already have babies. And most recently, at a recent baby shower I attended, each and every single Mom said that this was a "Must Have". Rarely have I heard such unanimous love for a product, so it got me intrigued.

It's the Graco Sweet Slumber Sound System. A little white noise machine. CUTE! If I didn't have the rave reviews from girlfriends, I likely would have overlooked this, but I kept hearing such AMAZING things, so I've added it to my Gift Registry as a "must have". If all of the Moms I know love it (not one said that it wasn't useful) then it obviously is a life saver! And, you can hook up your MP3 player to it, which won my husband over for the tech component! :)

Thought you'd like the little tip, as if I didn't have 10 Moms telling me it was awesome, I likely, as mentioned, would have overlooked this product. :)

Introducing the Beaba Babycook

Let us preface this post by stating that we know what new or expecting Moms + Dads may be thinking when you see this - "Not another gadget for my kitchen!" And you may skip along in the blog to see our next product review - But let us asure you that you are going to LOVE the Beaba Babycook.

The BabyCook allows you to make your own healthy food for your baby - so skip the bottled premade jars from the grocery store, or at least substitute some pre-made every so often, with your own healthy organic food.

The first and foremost best thing about this machine is that it allows us to make our own baby food, so we know what is going into the meal that our child is eating. The machine itself is actually really quite nice looking and is super stylish - which isn't surprising as it is a European design! Cleanup is awesome - we can pop the bowl into the dishwasher after (bonus!) for a quick and easy cleanup in the kitchen. The fact that it's all simply one machine makes us more eager to actually use it, instead of us having to pull out a number of different machines from the kitchen which is time intensive, messy, and discouraging when we NEED to make some food for our little one.



The Beaba Babycook is a one-of-a-kind, patented compact countertop appliance that functions as a steamer, blender, warmer and defroster to prepare fresh, healthy meals for baby.

It starts by steam cooking vegetables, fruits and meats in less than 15 minutes, while preserver their vitamins and flavors.

It then purees and blends them to the desired consistency. Parents can also use the Babycook to quickly reheat or defrost precooked foods.
