My Chickadee Changing Clutch and Wet Bag Review

Blog, Kids & Baby Reviews, Reviews

I love diaper bags but they are not always the best option when going on quick trips or even when babywearing and will be walking around all day; My Chickadee offers a great option for your diaper carrying needs. I love that My Chickadee caters to the needs of cloth diaper and baby-wearing families and also have many stylish prints to choose from. All My Chickadee products are made of gorgeous custom designed 100% heavyweight cotton and are easy to clean & machine washable. Every product complies with CPSIA standards; and are BPA, Lead & Phthalate free.

My Chickadee is designed for parents who demand distinctive, high quality products that are both functional, stylish and most importantly safe. Their products cater to families that seek to live a more natural and greener lifestyle, including those who cloth diaper and wear their babies. They offer a diaper bag, portable changing station, wet bags, reusable snack bags and some children’s toys.

I received the changing clutch and mini wet bag in the Thistle Ocean print, from My Chickadee’s winter line. Both the changing clutch and mini wet bag are made with high quality materials and feel like they will hold up really well. The heavyweight cotton is very durable and the liners used for both products are good quality too. They are machine washable (hang dry) which is always a nice feature.

My Chickadee Changing Clutch

The changing clutch is lightweight and compact. It is available in 5 stylish prints.

The changing clutch really is the perfect size for holding all your baby essentials and provides a changing pad too! Folded the Clutch measures only 12” x 8 ½ and the foldout leatherette changing area measures 21” x 31” and can accommodate all babies and most toddlers. The leatherette lining is easy to wipe clean too.

The straps easily adjust and can be worn over your shoulder or worn crossbody. This clutch is really ideal when babywearing and much more comfortable to carry then a bulky diaper bag. There are 2 roomy pockets that can hold; 6 disposable diapers or 2 cloth diapers, a wet bag, wipes and a change of clothes. The clutch also features a front pocket perfect for holding keys, phone or a small wallet. I can fit my phone in it easily but have to store my keys and wallet in interior pockets.

I prefer the My Chickadee changing clutch to my large diaper bag for quick trips. It has everything baby needs, holds my essentials too and is super stylish! Whether you are a busy mom on the go, a baby-wearing parent or someone looking to ditch the bulky diaper bag the My Chickadee Changing Clutch is a great option!

Don’t forget to get a matching My Chickadee Wet Bag for your changing clutch! They offer a Large or Mini size and are made of the same 100% heavyweight cotton fabric as the clutch. They feature water-resistant, interior lining complies with CPSIA standards; BPA, Lead & Phthalate free.

Large Wet Bag:
• Measures 14″ x 13″ (fits inside the open compartm.ent of the Divided Carryall)
• Ideal for cloth diapers (holds 7 diapers & 4 covers or equivalent) or swim items

Mini Wet Bag:
• Measures measures 9″ x 6 1/4″ (it can easily be added to the Changing Clutch, larger diaper bag or purse)
• Ideal for holding a spare outfit and then containing the messy one!

Keep Light Out and Save Energy with Blackout Curtains

Blog, Product Reviews, Reviews

This is a sponsored post written by me for Lush Decor. All opinions are 100% my own.

We all know how important getting a good nights rest is but it can be difficult if you do not create an atmosphere to promote good sleep. One way to disturb sleep is unwanted light creeping in from outside. Whether, you sleep during the day or artificial light outside is getting into your room, blackout curtains can really help. Blackout curtains not only keep out unwanted light but also help keep out noise and save energy by trapping heat when it’s cold out and keeping light and heat out during the hot months.

Lush Decor offers a great selection of blackout curtains at an affordable price; you will find a style and print that will match and compliment your room decor. You will find current trends, like Chevron prints, and timeless prints, like the Sophie paisley pattern. Check out their entire selection HERE.

Udi’s Gluten-Free Pizza for less at Walmart

Blog, Gluten Free, Gluten Free Product Review, Reviews

This is a sponsored post written in conjunction with Walmart and a campaign for Sverve. All opinions are 100% my own.

Need a quick meal or after school snack ? I have been in this situation plenty of times because of school, appointments, work or any other reason to be running behind! I also have to consider a picky eater who has to eat Gluten Free! What’s a Gluten Free Mom to do?

My solution is easy, Udi’s Gluten Free Uncured Pepperoni Pizza! Udi’s is a brand I have trusted and used for years, ever since we started eating Gluten Free over 5 years ago.

Udi’s Gluten Free Uncured Pepperoni Pizza ~ Gluten Free for less at Walmart

Udi’s Gluten Free Uncured Pepperoni Pizza is a really good frozen pizza; the kids and adults love them! I have tried several gluten free pizzas and Udi’s is my favorite and it’s affordable. The pizza is more a personal pizza size (10.1 oz) but my boys and I can share 1 for a snack. My husband eats one by himself as a meal. It is a thin crispy crust that has a tasty sauce and uncured pepperoni!

It is great to know I have a good back up plan for those days I can’t cook us a meal. I think Udi’s frozen pizza is a much better option than eating out because it’s gluten free, less expensive, it’s easy to bake and it’s delicious!

Udi’s Gluten Free Uncured Pepperoni Pizza Being on a budget I love that I can stock up on them at my local Walmart where they offer several Gluten Free Products for Less! Most stores I have seen sale this pizza for $7.99; at my local Walmart they were selling it for $5.76 as their normal price, no sale!

udi's #gfwalmart

Finding quality Gluten Free foods for a good price can be difficult, don’t get me started on frozen gluten free options! Luckily, Walmart has answered their customers request for more Gluten Free products and are adding more to their selection at a great price too.

I love that my local Walmart has their frozen food section with large signs labeling their Gluten Free products. I hate it when the gluten free products are just randomly placed with other products with no signs pointing out products are gluten free. Walmart has made it really easy to find frozen Gluten Free products and I appreciate anything that makes my shopping experience easier! I hope they continue this trend on all their aisles.

#gfwalmart

Buying Gluten Free products on a budget and stocking up on Gluten Free snacks is a lot easier now that Walmart is carrying more brands like Udi’s,Glutino, Van’s, Nature’s Path and more!

Check out your local Walmart to see the large selection of Gluten-Free products for less and be sure to attend the Walmart Gluten-Free for Less Event later this month! Don’t forget to try the Udi’s Gluten Free Uncured Pepperoni Pizza!

Find the participating Walmart store near you HERE and share your own gluten-free recipes using #gfwalmart on social media!
