A Busy Mom’s Review of Little Spoon Plates

September 9, 2020 by firstcomesfamily Leave a Comment

Are you over making your toddler 388374 meals a day? Because I am! Thankfully, Little Spoons Plates has solved that problem. Little Spoons Plates is a prepared meal delivery service for kids ages 1-7. Each meal is packed with hidden veggies to help get your little ones the nutrients they need (especially ours because she despises veggies). All meals contain no hormones, no preservatives or additives, and nothing artificial which is important to me to know what Vivian is eating. We had the chance the give the Plates a try and I just wouldn’t wait to share them with y’all!

GREAT FOR AGES 1-7

Sometimes, coming up with meals for your kiddos can be overwhelming. Little Spoon Plates takes the stress out of meal time. They offer Toddler meals that are perfect as finger foods as well as Big Kid meals for the most advanced utensil users.

VAST MEAL SELECTION

The menu has a wide variety of choices for even the pickiest of kiddos. There is over 20 options to choose from that rotates weekly. Some of Vivian’s favorites were the Mac and Cheese with Invisible Butternut Squash and Carrots as well as the Cheese Black Bean Pupusas! They even offer dairy free, gluten free, and vegetarian meals to fit into family’s lifestyle.

CLEAN INGREDIENTS

What’s most important to me when choosing new foods for Vivian is that it contains ingredients I can find in my very own pantry. Each Plate contains real ingredients and none of bad chemicals and preservatives you find in most prepared meals. Little Spoon believes that quality and nutrition should go hand in hand and I can truly attest to that!

SO CONVENIENT

Each meal comes on a microwave safe, dishwasher safe and recyclable plate covered with their innovative Freshlock seal on each plate, allowing the meals to stay fresh for longer. They come in the mail packed with ice packs and an eco-friendly isolated liner which ensures your meals are cold until they go into your fridge! A really cool add is that the meals are best enjoyed up to 14 days in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer! This makes them SO easy to pop into the microwave for a meal on the fly.

AFFORDABLE

Grocery shopping for kids can be expensive and there’s a big chance they won’t even eat what you prepare, unfortunately we’ve all been there. Plates pricing starts out at under $5 per meal and the conveniences itself is worth a ton! You simply order on Little Spoon’s website for weekly delivery and can even choose what meals you get. The best part is that you can skip delivery if you happen to be out of town or have Grandma in town to cook instead. LOL

As a family, we’ve done the adult meal delivery services and think they’re great. Since Little Spoon has launched Plates, it’s been a GAME CHANGER for us and makes me feel great that my girl is getting quality and nutritive food!

A Mom’s Real Review of Dyper Bamboo Diapers

March 10, 2020 by firstcomesfamily Leave a Comment

Disclaimer: This product was received for free in return of my honest review. This post contains affiliate links. This means I may earn a commission should you choose to make a purchase using my link. It’s okay – I love all of these companies anyways, and you will too!

Did you know that babies go through around 2,000 diapers in their first year of life? That’s A LOT of diapers! Have you ever thought about where they go after you toss them? Well, they go to the landfills where they take anywhere from 250-500 years to breakdown! INSANE. Finally, Dyper has released a line of compostable diapers that is an easy subscription based service.

Sizing

We chose the Mediums for Vivian as she is 19 pounds and 29 inches! These run a little slimmer than big brand diapers. Sizing goes by weight and uses traditional sizing as below:

  • Newborn (<10 lbs/4 kg) Diapers (260/Delivery)
  • Small (6-16 lbs/3-8 kg) Diapers (220/Delivery)
  • Medium (13-22 lbs/6-10 kg) Diapers (180/Delivery)
  • Large (20-31 lbs/9-14 kg) Diapers (140/Delivery)
  • Extra Large (28+ lbs/12+ kg) Diapers (100/Delivery)

728x90 Super Soft

What I loved:

Softness– Since they’re made from bamboo, they’re SO soft to the touch. Think organic bamboo onesies that are so silky, like that but a diaper!

Absorbency– It passed the overnight test for us! We had no leaks whatsoever, especially overnight. There wasn’t even a residue on the diaper which others like Hello Bello have. I was even expecting the pee smell like most eco-friendly diapers, but not these!

Wetness Indicator– For my husbands sake, we love when it shows the diaper is wet. Most green diaper companies don’t have a wetness indicator so this was surprising to see!

Free of Chemicals– They use biodegradable Chlorine-Free Wood pulp for the absorbent core. No latex, chlorine, PVC, TBT, antioxidants, perfumes, lotions, or phthalates. (most big-name diapers contain these)

Photo: Dyper

What I Didn’t Love:

Size– These run a bit more narrow that a traditional Pampers as shown below.

Literally the only thing I didn’t care for but I could’ve easily sized up!

Wipes

Made from only 4 ingredients!!

  • Viscose From 100% Bamboo
  • Reverse Osmosis Purified Water
  • Glycerin
  • Aloe Extract

These are even better than the leading all natural wipe on the market. Being made from Viscose from 100% Bamboo makes them extremely soft, resembling their diapers. They do run smaller than a traditional wipe but the pure ingredients surely make up for it.

Dyper Wipes – Soft & Absorbent wipes with just 5 ingredients! Order Now and experience the ultimate baby wipes with no scents and harsh chemicals from GetDyper.com!

Subscription: How It Works

Dyper is a subscription based diaper service that you order directly from their website or app. For $68 a month, you get 4 weeks worth of diapers with free shipping! Don’t worry, they do the math to make sure you don’t run out. Even if you do, they have a SOS service that will deliver them in as little as 2 hours! WOW, even better than Amazon right?!

Add Ons: You can add 3 packs of 80 wipes for only $15 more! Which with those ingredients, it’s hard to pass that up. They also have a service where they take care of the composting which requires you to mail back your used diapers monthly for only $39!

234x60 Super Soft

Bottom Line

Order these right NOW! They cost similarly to the leading eco-friendly subscription diaper services PLUS they are actually good for the environment! Also, their SOS service is unlike anything else because who actually wants to pack up a baby and go to Target when you run out of diapers mid day?!

GetDyper.com Subscribe Now – Diapers for $68 per month. Never run out, never too many, Save the Bum and Save the earth. Subscribe NOW with GetDyper.com and never worry about diapers again.

Today, I lost my patience. More times than I’d l Today, I lost my patience. More times than I’d like.

And I can’t help but feel so guilty because of it. It’s not her fault that I’m having trouble handling my emotions while she’s learning to understand her own. But how many times can you say “Please stop touching that”?! Not every day is perfect. Some days she’s an angel, other days she’s a little devil. Each age has come with new challenges and boy is the toddler stage the hardest yet 😣 Constantly reminding myself that she still doesn’t have an understanding of her actions and emotions! I have to admit I use that as an affirmation almost and it truly has helped me parent better at times.

How do you handle the BIG feelings of toddlers? Help a mama out 😖

It took me over a year to find the beauty of raisi It took me over a year to find the beauty of raising children. 

You know...

When the house is a mess, but watching them play with their toys amazes you.

When they wake you up at the crack of dawn and give you that big “HI” when you walk in their bedroom. Melts your heart.

Going places isn’t as intimidating because they find it so exciting to be somewhere new.

When you feel like they’re watching too much screen time but when they dance to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse song, it’s just TOO CUTE.

Yeah, all those moments are what I’m talking about and it’s so. dang. beautiful.

We ate in a haunted wine cellar 😱 And it was S We ate in a haunted wine cellar 😱

And it was SO romantic! ❤️We went to Savannah, GA in the beginning of the year and it was the best trip I have been on. Not only was it our first kid-free vacation but he city was SO cool and everything is historic. My favorite place was @theoldepinkhouse which was built in 1771 and is said to be haunted with ghosts that helped secure the independence of the 13 colonies from England. 

Our favorite dishes: Sautéed Shrimp & Scallops in a Parmesan cream sauce. I literally am drooling thinking about it 😋

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with bourbon molasses and the most amazing collard greens 🥬

Did you know that car seats help prevent fatal inf Did you know that car seats help prevent fatal infant injuries by 71%? 🤯 That's why I'm encouraging you to start the new year on the right foot by visiting NHTSA.gov/TheRightSeat to check if your child is buckled up correctly in the right seat for their age and size. There's nothing more that I love than my girl and these moments with her. That's why I buckle her up correctly every time we get in the car with the help of @NHTSAGov . #Sponsored #PSA #TheRightSeat

#AD Playgrounds of Tampa is a 7,500 sq ft space that has a sitting area for parents with a 360° view of the entire place! This makes it perfect for grabbing a latte at the front coffee bar and let the kiddos play! It’s especially great to warm up during this “cold” weather we’re having 😜 

🌟 @playgroundsoftampa is open 9am-6pm today, closed 1/1, and open 9am-6pm on 1/2!

Dry Skin and winter unfortunately go together. 😆 #AD I love to use @NIVEAUSA Essentially Enriched Body Lotion because the rich formula is unlike any other, the Deep Nourishing Serum is so moisturizing for my dry skin and Florida winters. It leaves my skin feeling super nourished even after 48 hours! You can pick up your Essentially Enriched Body Lotion at @Walmart, now available in limited-edition packaging in honor of the NIVEA Rethink Soft campaign that celebrates the power of soft and its positive impact. The design celebrates NIVEA’s partnership with kindness.org, which supports LearnKind, a soft skill curriculum, that teaches students the importance of soft to build a softer, kinder world for future generations. #RethinkSoft #ad #NIVEAUSA @Walmart @kindnessorg @NIVEAUSA
Just a girl and her @slumberkins 💜 When we wean Just a girl and her @slumberkins 💜 When we weaned from breastfeeding, I knew she needed something to comfort her. (She never took a paci nor was attached to anything but me) I joined the Slumberkins @facebook group which literally restores my faith in humanity, everyone in that group is so kind and always willing to help another. They helped me land on the Rainbow Unicorn which represents authenticity and bring true to yourself. Each @slumberkins comes with affirmations and it’s own book to narrate what the creature means. Others are helpful for loss, self-esteem and family changes. 

This isn’t sponsored but I truly love how sweet it is to see my girl bringing her “Mr.Unicorn” everywhere we go💜

Temperature checks are a normal thing around here Temperature checks are a normal thing around here especially with flu and covid season 😷 @blueberrypediatrics makes it easy to have pediatricians on call for virtual urgent care visits with $0 visit fees. Last year we ended up in urgent care with an RSV scare and I’m SO GLAD we can count on @blueberrypediatrics this year. It makes so much easier and comfortable when our girl gets sick. The Blueberry Pediatrics medical kit makes gathering vitals so easy such as oxygen levels as well as video!

Did you send Christmas cards? 💌 I’ve sent my Did you send Christmas cards? 💌

I’ve sent my own Christmas cards out for 7 years now and haven’t missed one year. There’s something about sending a card to spread cheer through the old snail mail. I mean who doesn’t love getting mail that’s NOT a bill these days?! 😂 This year this Christmas card was designed by me, photo taken with my tripod, and printed by a small shop. Extra special for a year to remember 😅

3 Ways to enjoy Christmas better with a toddler: 3 Ways to enjoy Christmas better with a toddler:

1. Embrace the C H A O S- Let’s be real, you probably won’t get a photo with everyone looking and your kitchen will be a disaster from attempting to bake cookies with them but take a second and breathe in the chaos, it won’t be like this for long.

2. Less is more- Don’t feel pressure to have 73829 gifts under the tree or to do nonstop Christmas activities. If you just want to watch The Grinch in PJs then do that! They will love it either way.❤️

3. New Traditions are Okay- 2020 has been far from traditional and Christmas won’t be an exception. It’s okay that you won’t get to go to moms, grandmas and uncles house this Christmas. Enjoy s l o w i n g down and staying home 🏠

👇🏻What are you doing to enjoy Christmas more this year?

Growing up, my mom made me @swissmissbrand hot cocoa every night in the winter since it was so cold in NY☃️ I snagged that little coffee cup for Vivian from @worldmarket since it was the perfect size for her for future hot cocoa traditions that I hope continue ❤️

Y’all, Vivian was in heaven! They have a specific area for littles 0-3 years old and the rest is full size bounce houses and a playground  that even the adults can jump in with the kiddos. My personal favorite part is the coffee bar 😍☕️ I had the BEST iced caramel latte, which clearly little missy stole from me 😆 Best of all is that it’s owned by a husband and wife with 2 kiddos of their own. Supporting small business is more important now than ever before ❤️
