The Zaky: a mom’s feedback
We received some wonderful feedback (and an adorable photo) recently about The Zaky hands by Nurtured by Designs that was too great not to share. Below is what she said: After our daughter was born at 28 weeks, a group of friends sent us the Zaky hands. They are wonderful! I actually call them magic [...]

Top 4 Nursing Tops: my picks
Three weeks after Tanner was born our family was in town running errands. Dinnertime approached so we decided to stop and eat at a new restaurant in town called Wing Stop. I am not sure why, but it seems that the majority of wing eaters are men as Ashlyn and I were the only female [...]

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

The Baby Banquet: a mom’s review
“My two year old daughter has gluten intolerance, dairy protein intolerance, soy protein intolerance, and is allergic to eggs. Needless to say, it is very difficult to feed her – especially while we are out and about. I purchased the Baby Banquet in hopes that I could pack her special lunches when we’d go out [...]

BabyLegs to the Rescue!
“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 [...]

Dr. Lisa Loves Moby
"The Moby Wrap that I purchased is fantastic! I am a chiropractor and I have tried many slings and baby carriers with my 3 children….this is by far the best. It distributes the weight evenly between your back, hips and shoulders making it more comfortable and better biomechanically than any other I have tried. Just [...]

BabyLegs are PERFECT for soccer!
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 [...]

Amy Loves Skinies!
"I just wanted to comment that I LOVE the Skinies top I got a few months ago. I wear it all the time it is comfortable. It keeps my belly covered while nursing- since I am 6 feet tall almost nothing is long enough. It also keeps my belly covered when my shirt gets moved around while babywearing. I [...]

Razberry teether by Razbaby review
