Comforts for Baby Review

BzzAgent was kind enough to provide me with coupons for free samples of Comforts for Baby disposable diapers, baby wipes, baby shampoo, baby lotion, and baby bib in exchange for my honest review.

                                                             About Comforts for Baby:

We all know that babies and toddlers need lots of stuff to get them – and you – through your busy days. But caring for your baby doesn’t have to cost a lot. Comforts makes it simple, with all of the right products for every baby stage, from diapers and formula to bibs, lotions, cups and snacks, all reasonably priced and conveniently located together for easy one-stop shopping. We know value is important, so we’ve designed our products according to the highest standards so you can get great quality and save money, too.

Healthy nutrition:

We care about quality, so our products are tested by pediatricians and dermatologists to make sure they perform just right for you and your baby. Our wide selection of high-quality formulas have all the nutrients your baby needs for a healthy first year, and for older children, our delicious and nutritious meals and snacks are convenient for you, and just right for introducing toddlers to new tastes and feeding themselves.

I was really excited to be given some coupons to try out these products. I am all about saving money too!

Here is what I got and what I thought :)

The diapers...I really wanted to like these. The price is great. They leaked though...every single time I used them. I have a feeling if I had gone up a size this would not have been a problem. 

I loved the baby wash. It was about 20 cents cheaper than the competing brand. The smell was almost exactly the same. I found that it worked really well and washed Sally up :)

The lotion was really nice...a very calming scent and it obviously smelled good to Sally...she kept trying to eat it!

My favorite product?? The WIPES!! They were so thick and worked so well. I LOVED them and will be switching from my usual brand.

I really wanted to try the bib since I had a coupon, but every Kroger didnt have them. Boo!

It finally feels like fall and we have turned on the heater. The air is crisp, the leaves are changing and my "leaves" candle from BBW is lit non-stop...love it all! I guess its time to get up to the attic and switch my closet from summer to fall. I always forget that I had things and its like having a whole new wardrobe.

Things are getting spooky in these parts :) Here are two of my projects this week. The wreath was inspired by a few different ones I saw on Pinterest. How I did it: I covered a foam wreath with strips of burlap and secured with both hot glue and pins. I got the black crow at the $1 Tree and stuck him right into the foam wreath. I made three black/white fabric flowers using fabric from Hobby Lobby and hot glued them on. I used some silver glittered scrapbook letters (chipboard) that I've had for a million years and glued them onto scalloped circles that I had cut out. I made it into a banner using hot glue and black/white bakers twine from Hobby Lobby. I tied a black tulle bow and secured it all onto an old black frame. Easy Peasy!

I have also been collected pumpkins and mums and made a cute little display by our side door. The wooden crates were literally found on the side of the road years ago. Sally loves to play here and rearrange the pumpkins. Problem? She thinks the little ones are balls and tries to throw them. I have to tell her, "gentle, gentle..."

We are headed to Nashville this weekend and I cannot wait to come back with a carload of groceries from Trader Joes!!

Halloween is less than a week away! I have been dressing Sally up in all her halloween outfits while I can. Here is a sampling.

I have been on the mission to find new riding boots. Joe told me to just get the Tory Burch ones but that doesnt seem very responsible, so I have been trying to find some cheaper ones. I ordered these from DSW so we will see. I am just so picky!

and a little bonus ;)

Someone posted on Facebook that Christmas is only 9 Saturdays away....yikes!! I have officially started my shopping as of last night. We randomly went into Pottery Barn Outlet and I picked up this little shopping cart for Miss Sally. I cant wait to fill it with play food for her. Joe is building her a little kitchen, so this will be perfect!

Flea Market Tips & Tricks

It's October and that means its time for a trip to the Nashville Flea Market. It's no secret I love this place.

Check out my past trips to the flea market here, here, and here.




I have a few things I am looking for this trip (if the price is right). Here is what is on my list:

Antique Spindels

Old Globe

Fishing buoys

Old maps

Old Scale

Wire basket (locker)

vintage games

vintage fischer price

chair

old books

flashcards

letters/numbers

vintage Christmas ornaments

The big question is how to navigate a flea market. Here are a few tips.

1. Educate. Treat your time at the flea market as a learning experience. Pick the brains of the dealers. They are usually very helpful!

2. Make Your List. Have some kind of an idea of what you are looking to buy. DON’T stop at every booth. Learn to assess quickly to see if they have what you are looking for, and if they don’t, move on. Keep to your list!

3. Haggle. Dealers expect to negotiate. Don’t insult them; be reasonable, but don’t pay the listed amount right off the bat. Be prepared to walk away from a deal if you feel like you are getting ripped off.

4. Shipping. If it is a big fair, make sure you bring a vehicle large enough to carry all of your goodies. If you know you are looking for hefty items such as furniture, check on shipping options with the dealer before you hand over your credit card or cash. Another smart option is to rent a U-Haul.

5. Parking. Arrive bright and early at the fair. Parking is hard to get, and you want to be close to the fairgrounds so you won’t have to haul your loot miles to your car later.

6. Toting. Bring something to carry all of your purchases. Big tote bags or wire shopping carts are the best ideas. I usually carry a backpack or a large reusable shopping bag. If you buy something too big to carry around, most dealers will put a "SOLD" sign on it and allow you to stop and pick it up on your way out.

7. Clothing. Wear comfy clothing and shoes. 

8. What to Bring. Bring your cell phone, cash, a bottle of water and your shopping list.

9. Food. I usually like to bring a few healthy snacks so I can munch and go.

10. Weather. Do not let the rain deter you! Many outdoor flea markets have tents and are rain-or-shine events. Those are the shows where you can find some of the best deals!

I can't wait to show you the goodies I come home with!

A Trip To Cedar Hill Farms

This morning we went to Cedar Hill Farms in Hernando, MS. I was sad that Joe couldn't join us but he is working on our master bathroom. It was freezing out, but we had a great time!

I hadn't been down here in years, but there were so many activities to keep the kids busy. The first place we hit up was the area with the pumpkins. It seemed like a great place to take some pictures. As soon as Sally saw them she started saying, "pumpkins! pumpkins!". It was so cute....girl LOVES pumpkins. 

Sally and Emma Claire :)

Next we hit up a puppet show, watched a pig race and let the girls ride ponies. 

Sally on her pony...she wasn't sure what to think.

Next we took the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. Sally LOVED it and went from pumpkin to pumpkin.

We picked out a little one to bring home with us :) It was a great day and she passed out on the way home. Mission Accomplished!!
