chaoticfun says "Made my life soooo much easier!" about Medela pump in style advanced

chaoticfun — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:33:38 GMT

This breast pump was a lifesaver for my attempt at breastfeeding. Being able to pump both breasts at the same time was very time efficient and allowed me more freedom that can be found with other pumps. Having the battery pack for travel was great for airports. Additionally, being able to pump one breast while my baby fed from the other side was great. I highly recommend this pump and you won't be disappointed!

chaoticfun says "Always have one in my purse" about Sanford Sanford Sharpie Twin Tip Permanent Marker

chaoticfun — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:27:33 GMT

I love Sharpie markers and this marker truly meets all my needs for a marker. The fine point is great for addressing envelopes or packages while the blunt end is great for marking items off my list or making a bolder statement on a package (like: do not bend). I keep one of these in my purse at all times and can't tell you how many times it has been a helpful tool when mailing last minute packages.

chaoticfun says "Makes doing the dishes soooo easy!" about Electrasol Finish Quantum

chaoticfun — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:23:24 GMT

I love the ease of this product. No worrying about using too much or too little of the detergent when you use Electrasol Finish because its already measured and in a nice little package. All you have to do is load the dishwasher and stick the tablet/pack into the dishwashing soap tray and then start the dishwashwer. No need for pre-washing or worrying about spots on your glasses. This is a great product and even my husband agrees that it makes housework much simpler in the kitchen!

chaoticfun says "Nothing else compares to this!" about Pantene 2 in1 for volume

chaoticfun — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:18:25 GMT

The Pantene 2-in1 volume shampoo/conditioner is the only product that leaves my hair feeling clean, yet not weighed down by moisturizers. I have tried many other shampoo/condiertioner's and not one of them leaves my hair as nice as this product.

chaoticfun says "mmmmm, good smelling stuff in the shower!" about Softsoap Pomegranate and Mango Moisturizing Body Wash

chaoticfun — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:15:30 GMT

I love soaping up in the morning with this product because it smells so great and doesn't leave my dry skin feeling all dried out. Its affordable and keeps me clean! It also makes the whole bathroom smell good even after my shower is over.

chaoticfun says "The best razor for women, hands down!" about Gillette Venus Breeze

chaoticfun — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:05:12 GMT

I love this razor, both the disposable and the replaceable head versions. The 5 blade system gives me a much better shave than any other razor I have tried. Another company sent me a new trial razor and it doesn't even come close to the preformance of my Gillette Breeze razors. Great for underarms and legs!

chaoticfun says "Great for when you don't have time to deep clean the floors!" about Swiffer Sweep Vaccum Cleaner Kit - 2 Units Vacuum

chaoticfun — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:17:22 GMT

Wow, this thing has truly improved the neatness of our home! With a toddler making messes everywhere, its nice to be able to grab this and clean the floors quickly. Since our son is at the stage where everything goes in his mouth, we use this to help prevent him from eating something gross! Everyone in our house uses it and we love it!

chaoticfun says "Great sanitizer with a clean smell" about Germ-X Original Hand Sanitizer

chaoticfun — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:13:08 GMT

I love this sanitizer because it gentle on dry skin and come in handy different sizes. I love the smell of it, which is clean. Other santizers can have an overpowering alcohol smell, but you won't find that with this product. As the mom of a two trips to the NICU baby, I can say that sanitizers were well tested in our household and this one was a favorite!

chaoticfun says "This lotion is Just Right!" about Curel Ultra Healing Moisture Lotion

chaoticfun — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:10:13 GMT

I have such dry skin that I need to put on lotion after a shower and EVERY time I wash my hands. I have found that this lotion doesn't let me down and works for every season. Some lotions are too thick for summer and humidity and others aren't quite strong enough for the winter months. However, this one is JUST RIGHT!

chaoticfun says "After one hour, I was addicted!" about Apple - iPhone (8 GB) Cell Phone

chaoticfun — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:05:45 GMT

I was happy with my Razr phone, but we decided to switch providers. I wanted to upgrade, and boy oh boy was this an upgrade. This phone has made my life sooooo much easier. From the calendar to the navigation to the app's, this phone will rock your world!

chaoticfun says "Loved that the jeans are lined with jersery" about Gap Jeans for Baby

chaoticfun — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:40:03 GMT

I bought several sizes of these jeans when they were on sale at our local Baby Gap. I LOVED that they are lined with a very soft jersey material. When I brought them out of the closet to put on our son, my husband raised the question of the denim being too rough on his skin. I showed him the interior of the jeans and he felt them. His next comment was how soft they were!

I would now buy these at full price if I hadn't already bought several sizes when I could get a good deal!

My only concern is that they may get a little warm during late spring or early summer, but we will probably just dress our son in shorts or light pants at that point anyway....

chaoticfun says "Great for women of any age" about O, The Oprah Magazine

chaoticfun — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:26:14 GMT

When I was pregnant, I decided to re-evaluate my magazine subscriptions. With all the baby and parenting books and magazines I was starting to accumulate, I decided to only keep two magazine subscriptions. O (Oprah's mag) was one of the keepers. It is so well rounded and covers so many real life topics. I love the book and movie reviews. I also really like the clothing reviews and suggestions because they are down to earth and realistic, which makes them very different from the clothing reviews you find in so many other magazines. The clothing featured in Oprah's magazine is actually wearable on a daily basis and you won't look hideous wearing it!

I have subscribed to this magazine for years and only have three complaints along the way:

1) I sometimes receive my magazine AFTER it has already hit the newstands. I called their subscription line about this and was told there was nothing they could do about it. I wasn't pleased with that response, as one of the traditional......

chaoticfun says "The 5-8 pound size are great for preemies or smaller babies!" about Gerber Variety Onesies

chaoticfun — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:12:24 GMT

Our son was born six weeks early, so none of his clothes fit! We had to quickly find some preemie outfits and needed some onesies to go under them for extra warmth. The gerber onesies tend to run small, but for us this was a blessing! The size for 5-8lbs were such a life saver for us! If you have a small baby or a preemie, that size is the way to go!

chaoticfun says "Perfect for smaller babies!" about Chicco KeyFit

chaoticfun — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:02:04 GMT

As a first time parent and the product of a safety conscience family, I wanted something that was super safe for my son. I narrowed our choices through online searches, and then we headed to a local specialty baby store to see the products in person. At first, I was hesitant about his car seat because of the hefty price. However, once I saw how easily it locks into its base and how easy it is to get out of the car, I was sold! It is a super safe seat and great for small babies. We planned on our son being a big baby, but when he arrived six weeks early at under 5 lbs, we felt truly blessed to already have the car seat that the NICU nurses recommended. Since he was so small, he had to pass a car seat test before leaving the hospital...it was to make sure that he could medically handle sitting in the car seat for extended periods of time. At 7 days old and less than five pounds, he sat in this car seat snugly and secure for over 90 minutes without being uncomfortable. In......

chaoticfun says "Love this! Worth the money on just the first time we used it!" about Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo

chaoticfun — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:47:25 GMT

We bought this after hearing about it from a friend who has a child just a little older than our son. She was talking about how much her little girl loved it, so we decided to get one for our little man.

Assembly was simple, and we put it together in about 15 minutes or less. The only tool needed is a phillips head screwdriver...and that is only if you intend to put batteries in it for the sounds. (some parents probably choose not to do this!)

Our son was really happy to just sit in the jumparoo. He is a little small for his age because he was a preemie, but has the skills required to sit in the jumparoo. So, we put a couple of towels under his feet so he could touch and give himself leverage. As he discovered each little part and toy, his eyes would get really big and he would give us the biggest grin! He was a very happy boy. He stayed in it for about 15 minutes and we had to help him bounce, but we know that it won't be long until he will be able to figure out the bouncing himself.......
