Refilling the Foaming Soap Dispensers from Bath and Body Works

Making your own foaming hand soap is so simple.  All you need is an empty foaming soap dispenser (I use Bath & Body Works), and a bottle of Liquid Dish Soap or Liquid Hand Soap -  you can use any scent - I love lemon for the kitchen.  Next, add 1 inch (or a little more if you like) of liquid dish soap to your container.  Fill the remainder with water, shake it up and it's ready to go!

Flying with Baby!

So now that almost a month has gone by, I am finally getting my act together and posting the Flying with Baby and Flying with Toddler posts! Here's the first!

Itzy Ritzy- AWESOME!

Was in the Rochester, NY airport today, had my wrap-a-roll on my son's infant seat, and a gentleman came by and said he loved that I support Itzy Ritzy, and gave me a reusable snack and everything bag! LOVE Itzy Ritzy even more now!!

This is what I have ^ That wrap on the car seat handle- makes it sooooo much softer to hold him, esp.  now that he's getting heavy!

This is what I was given! Little did the kind man know, I LOVE reusable bags (I already have a few) and didn't realize that Itzy Ritzy makes them too! I guess they just earned themselves a new customer in that area too! :)

Disney Success

Two sleeping kids in the middle of disney on a relatively busy day... Success!

Bathing a Newborn!

So here's this awesome new tip I just read on Infant Connections - Swaddling a baby with a blanket and then placing them in the tub helps to keep the baby more calm during the bath! It reminds them of the womb, and the gentle pressure of the wet blanket helps to make them feel secure! 

DIAPER BAG!

Yep- I said it- the Dreaded Diaper bag! Here's my diaper bag list and below is a little more detail!

For Organizing all of this I use the 31 Utility Tote

I also purchased this for $10 to put on the top- it's the thirty-one top a tote

Then I put all of this inside of it!

Gallon, snack & sandwich size reusable bags for organizing all of the items in the diaper bag

Next is the thermal tote from thirty-one. I put all the snacks and drinks in here!

To keep the bottle warm I use Warmze

Finally is the thirty-one insulating bottle carrier that I attach to the outside of the diaper bag and put the bottle in :) 

Sofia the First Mermaid Movie Review

Well coming from the mouth of my 2.5 year old. "MORE!!!!"  Overall I think that this movie was great! It's the perfect length for her age, kept the Sofia theme, and also was not bad for her mommy to have to watch!

Overall I give this movie a 10 out of 10!
