Nuby 360 Wonder Cup Review
Trying to find the perfect sippy cup or training cup can be challenging. You want one that is going to keep the contents from spilling out (we all know we can’t trust a toddler to not spill), teach them the proper way to drink out of a big kid cup, and maybe even keep the contents cold? Then there is the dilemma, do I start with a straw cup? Spout? 360? It’s honestly up to the child to feel out what’s best for them. Porter ended up finding the 360 cup easiest to use so we stuck with that. We like to take long day trips on the weekends and…

Parasol Diapers Review
My son never had an issue with what brand of diapers we were using until he was about 9 months old. He started to get diaper rashes, and then they became more frequent and stubborn. He developed sensitive skin all around, and we started to notice things only getting better after we switch all his products including diapers to more natural brands. We never thought what is on the shelf at the store for babies could have so many irritants and chemicals in them. We really struggled to find the perfect brand of diapers to use. We tried all the name brand natural diapers on the market with some success…

Messy Mealtime Solution
Does your little babe like to toss their food and/or plates when their done eating too or is this just something my son likes to do on occasion? Either way we had to find a solution to this phase he has been going through lately. The Nuby Sure Grip tableware is my favorite go to. It’s designed to be easy to use, clean and suctions to the table or highchair. The plate seals to the tabletop to make self feeding less messy and disastrous! It also has 4 sections, two ½ cup portions and two ¼ portions to make it easy to separate foods. Even though lately my son is…

Bucklebury Soothing Syrup
Finally, the light at the end of the cold and flu season tunnel. As winter comes to an end and our sniffles and coughs start to fade, I wanted to take this opportunity to share my thoughts and experience with an all-natural product I came across called Bucklebury Soothing Syrup for throat, sinus, and bronchi support. Typically, my colds are pretty manageable without any help, but this year with being pregnant and chasing a toddler around my immune system took a plunge. I don’t like taking any of the usual over the counter medications, and while being pregnant you are limited to your choices anyways. When I was presented with…

Let’s Talk Teething…
Let’s talk teething… My son started teething pretty early on around 3-4 months. It was a process that felt like eternity with no end in sight. Finally, around 5 months I noticed some popping through, and before I knew it SIX teeth top and bottom came in all at ONCE! Then a couple months later two more popped through. Poor thing. It was tough for him to sleep, and I felt so bad for him. I tried teething gel and he hated the taste. I also tried teethers, even the ones you stick in the freezer and nothing really gave him long lasting relief. I knew when he started to…

Raised Real – Baby Food Delivery Review.
As a busy full-time working mom with a toddler who can be hard to please when it comes to food, it can be even more difficult to whip up quick and easy nutritional meals when I get home from work. Most nights I barely get home in time for dinner, let alone have time to prepare a full meal that doesn’t consist of mac n cheese or leftovers. I did some research and I came across this brilliant company called Raised Real. They deliver right to your door step ready to make flash frozen, organically-sourced, baby-ready meals developed by nutrition experts. These meal pouches contain clean ingredients with nutritional value…

SAY HELLO TO THE WISCO MAMA!
I have been debating for some time on rebranding my whole blog & website. I went back and forth several times on just updating my logo, to changing my name completely and starting over. I decided to do both and have a new fresh start with 2019. So much has changed over the last year for me including having my son in January of 2018, to finding out were expecting our daughter in May 2019. So here I am, out with The Midwest Mom and in with The Wisco Mama. New name, new look, same old me. I have so much fun stuff in store for my readers including new…

Moms & Babies benefit from Chiropractic care!
Chiropractic has been a huge part of my life for the last 10+ years. I became such a believer after my own experience that I knew this was the field I wanted to start my career in. I’ve been working in chiropractic for over 7 years now as a Certified Chiropractic Technician, Certified Billing and Coder, and Patient Accounts Manager. I love to help educate patients and do community outreach to help teach others the value of chiropractic care and that it can help with so much more than people realize. A lot of my followers have seen me post about my adjustments while I was going through infertility treatments,…

Nuby Little Squirts Bath Toys Review
Bath time hasn’t always been my sons favorite thing. Up until he was about 6 months old he would scream and cry the entire time we gave him a bath. We thought to ourselves, how could we make this more enjoyable for him? … Insert bath toys. Nuby has a bunch of great bath time toys to choose from. We started incorporating different ones from bath books, floating boats, to these little squirts. He slowly started to enjoy bath time more, and soon enough it became something enjoyable for him. He just loves getting squirted with water by these lovable Little Squirts characters. The Little Squirts come with 10 cute floating…
