Top 4 Nursing Tops: my picks

August 23, 2011

Hands down: the perfect gift for NICU babies & more!

May 16, 2011

Last year a friend of mine delivered early and her little girl spent several weeks in the NICU.  We don’t live near each other so I felt helpless to be able to do something to show how much I cared.  Then I remembered The Zaky hands that we offer on Mom 4 Life and together with a few friends we sent two Zaky’s to enfold and embrace the little bundle of joy in her incubator.  When my friend sent me this photo below, I couldn’t help but smile.  Isn’t it simply precious the way her hand is wrapping around the Zaky finger?

The Zaky is a soft but weighed pillow, partially filled that conforms to the baby’s body. It imitates the look, feel, weight, scent, and warmth of the parents’ hand and forearm. It assures proper positioning, helps with pain management and sleep, provides a sense of protection, and assists with the physical and psychological development of the child.

Silicone covers for your kid’s glass drinking cups

May 09, 2011

Don’t you love when you find out a second use for a product you already own?  This happened to me when I was looking over our Siliskins Silicone Glass Bottle Covers. My kids are too old to use bottles, BUT they do use cups.  I often use small glass jars for drinking cups for the [...]

BabyLegs to the Rescue!

May 18, 2010

“I just thought I’d add my two cents about BabyLegs….. yet another great use.  Late last week, Ronnie fell on something in his room (the boys were in the middle of cleaning it) and sliced his wrist open BAD.  Luckily, although it was nasty (double slices), it wasn’t bad enough to require stitches. So I [...]

BabyLegs are PERFECT for soccer!

March 17, 2010

Since my girls live and breathe soccer, they’ll put them to use whenever they arrive!  The BabyLegs work so much better with their soccer jerseys than putting a long sleeved tee underneath because they get hot as the game goes on.  Taking BabyLegs off is easy… and modest, lol!  Since the older kids started borrowing [...]
