elvish says "Newcastle Brown Ale is yummy and refreshing" about Newcastle Brown Ale

elvish — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:56:24 GMT

Newcastle is smooth and tasty. It's imported, but not expensive when compared to other imports. It's everything you could ask for in an ale!

I like mine a little cooler than room temp - it seems to bring out the flavor a bit more than an ice cold brew.

One caveat: make sure you get yours fairly fresh. The clear bottle allows light in, which degrades the beer a bit faster than a darker bottle will.

elvish says "Medela Pump In Style is a great breast pump" about Medela pump in style advanced

elvish — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:52:34 GMT

I absolutely loved this pump! It lasted through two babies, pumping 2-3 times per day for about two years total. It helped me keep my milk volume up after returning to week and we never had to supplement our babies with formula. I'd definitely use it again with a new baby!

elvish says "Motherhood Maternity nursing bras are the best!" about Motherhood Maternity Nursing Bra

elvish — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:49:12 GMT

I've tried several brands and styles of nursing bras. Motherhood's nursing bras are my favorite, hands-down! In fact, one of them was so comfortable that I wore it beyond my nursing days.

elvish says "Gap materity jeans are my favorite - soooo comfortable!" about Gap maternity jeans

elvish — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:14:31 GMT

Gap maternity jeans are the best! I love each style: they 're so comfortable and perfect for the changes your body goes through while pregnant. The ankle length jeans are perfect for my short (5'3") frame and the materials are durable, but soft and comfy at the same time.

elvish says "affordable and reliable" about White Cloud Diapers

elvish — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:47:20 GMT

White Cloud diapers are a great value - even with a coupon for a 'well-known' diaper brand, they are cheaper! We find them to be very reliable for both our 3 month old girl and our 2.5 year old boy. The only time we've had problems with leaks is when it's time to size up!

Great value, cute prints (John Lennon artwork!) You can't go wrong with White Cloud.

elvish says "Easy choice if you're new to cloth diapering" about Fuzzi Bunz Pocket Diapers

elvish — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:42:33 GMT

Fuzzi Bunz are practically foolproof for the first-time cloth diaperer. They are sold with inserts - just put them in the pocket and snap 'em on and go! They work great for both my toddler and infant and we never have problems with leaks. In fact, they are our favorite nighttime diaper for both babes....

elvish says "Gets uncomfortable for mom - questionable positioning for baby?" about Babybjorn Original Baby Carrier

elvish — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:38:40 GMT

I just want to preface this by saying, if it's what you have you can make it work. In my opinion, being close to baby is what is most important. That being said, we just couldn't get the Bjorn to work well for us. My son dangled by his crotch (a questionable position for hip/spine development) and didn't seem very comfortable. It wasn't condusive to breastfeeding, and honestly just plain HURT my back after about 30 minutes or so.

elvish says "a favorite for mom, dad AND baby - great for breastfeeding" about Maya Wrap Baby Sling

elvish — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:32:47 GMT

Maya Wrap ring slings are wonderful! They are so versatile, fit a range of sizes. Ours can be used by both myself (5'3") and my husband (6 feet). They requre some practice, but come with a very informative instructional DVD that provides all the tips and tweaks you need. When my son was born, I watched the video and popped him right in the sling. We've been using it ever since - even while I was pregnant with my second. It's the BEST for breastfeeding, because the tail can be used for coverage. It's also great as a burp cloth or blanket - lots of versatility!

Now, little sister is worn daily but big brother (2.5 years old) still gets a ride in the sling from time to time when he wants "up!"...

elvish says "Stylish and comfy for mama and baby" about HotSlings Stretch Baby Sling/Wrap

elvish — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:24:18 GMT

Hotslings are great pouches. Their fabrics are so cute and comfortable, and they last through wash after wash...very important for a baby product! I have a pouch that I received when my son was my daughter's age - over two years ago - and it's as pretty and comfortable as it was when I wore him in it as an infant. In fact, it's supportive enough that I can still wear him for short periods in it even now!...
