Orangeheat Review

Disclosure: I received samples to facilitate this post. The opinions are my own.

If you’re looking for unique kid’s clothing ideas for this Christmas, I invite you to check out Orangeheat.  The clothing company offers cute shirts of all sizes, starting at 3-6 months onesies and going all the way up to adult sizes.  The shirt designs are vintage inspired, featuring artwork reminiscent of kid’s drawings.

I personally like the variety of designs available.  The have something for everyone!  My son loves trucks and construction vehicles, so I was really excited when they sent him shirts featuring a firetruck, a Volkswagon, and an excavator.  Thaxton was excited when he saw the shirts too.  When they came in the mail, he said, “Trucks!” [Read more…]

Boppy Review (And How I Used it Every Day!)

Disclosure: I received product samples to facilitate this review. The opinions are my own.

As a mom, I can’t say enough about the Boppy Boppy Original Nursing Pillow and Positioner.  After you have your “baby basics” (diapers, bottle, crib/bassinet, car seat), it should be next on your list!  When I was pregnant, I knew I had no plans to breastfeed, so I honestly wasn’t sure if I needed a Boppy.  Right after Thaxton was born I realized it was a MUST!  I used the product multiple times a day, every day during Thaxton’s first year!  Today I’m going show you some great ways to use the product and show you why every expecting mom needs a Boppy!

Before my son was born I shared our forest friends nursery reveal with you guys.  Unbelievably that was 2 years ago!  Even though he is almost a big two year old, Thaxton still has the same nursery theme, and we’ll be keeping it in place for the next year, if not the next two years, or longer…

Ortho-Cerv Headleveler Pillow Review

Disclosure: I received product samples to facilitate this review. The opinions are my own.

I’ve always had difficulty sleeping. It takes me forever to fall asleep. I have to have the “perfect sleep environment” for me, and I still don’t feel like I get the best quality sleep. In recent years I’ve been working on ways to get better sleep, so I was very excited when I had the chance to try the Headleveler® Pillow.

Here are just a few things that set the Headleveler Pillow apart from others:

  • Hypo-allergenic 100%
  • Washable 100%
  • Breatheable 100%
  • Personalized to fit you 100%

Headleveler’s pillows are filled with polyester fibre, commonly found in modern duvets. Each individual fibre has air chambers that are designed to capture and store air, making your pillow more resilient. Their pillows are also hypoallergenic and machine washable.

So how do they personalize the pillow to fit you?  They do it by giving you a simple quiz.  You answer questions, such as your height and weight, the type of mattress you have, type of pillow you prefer, etc.  Then it gives you a score, and that score is your pillow number.

Personally I’ve always had a thin pillow; I’m talking super thin! (I can’t even find pillows as thin as they ones I have used.)  And anytime I’ve tried thicker, fluffy pillows I usually can’t sleep on them, and I end up swapping back to my old pillow midway through the night.

When I took the headleveler quiz, my result was: The Queen Very Soft Pillow (Model #15)

Here’s the description: “For the perfect night’s sleep, based on your height, weight and sleeping preferences, we recommend a very soft pillow. Ideal for both back and side sleepers who prefer a soft, comfy support whether on your back or your side. This pillow is often used by children and those who are petite or small in stature.”

When I received the Headleveler, it looked a little thicker than what I was used to, but upon using it the first night, I was very pleased with how well I slept on it, and I’ve been using it ever since.  I found it to be very comfortable.  It is soft, but not so soft that it sinks in.  And it doesn’t elevate my head too much like a lot of thicker pillows do.  And I’ve found that it is great for both side sleeping and back sleeping.

Overall, I love the pillow. The Headleveler pillow is the first pillow I’ve succesfully been able to “switch” to in a long time without going back to my old pillow.  I love that it’s machine washable and hypo-allergenic, and I feel like a get a pretty good night’s sleep on it.  Most of all, I love how comfortable and soft it is.  I encourage you to go over and learn more about their pillows and take the quiz to find out your which pillow is best for you!
