TinyLove 3-in-1 Rocker-Napper Evulation

With baby boy on his way in just a few weeks I’m really starting to gear up and get the things we need for him. However, adding another person and all his baby stuff in our already cramped house is starting to pose some problems. So whenever I can find something that has more than one purpose and will grow with him, I jump at it.

That’s why I was so excited to see the 3-in-1 Rocker-Napper from TinyLove. It’s a rocker, bassinet/napper and a versatile seat all in one. Set up was quite easy. It took me about 1/2 hour from start to finish. The directions come in almost every language and had diagrams and written instructions for every step. There is also a short video explaining how to assemble at on TinyLove’s website. The only thing you need is a phillips head screwdriver, 3 AAA batteries and 1 C battery. The Rocker/Napper adjusts very easily with one hand between all 3 seat position, which will be very helpfulwhen your holding a baby and trying to adjust the rocker in a different position before putting him down.

It also has a toy arm which has lights and toys attached and plays music and sounds to help soothe or entertain baby with adjustable volume. The rocker vibrates as well throughout the entire seat to help calm any fussy baby. However, it only has one setting on the vibrations. I think it would be nice to have at least 2 setting to be able to adjust the speed of vibrating. I think what I’m most excited about is having a nice comfy bassinet for the baby to sleep in and not taking up half the room that a traditional bassinet would do. I know he is definitely going to get a lot of use out of this rocker since he can use it until he’s up to 40 lbs. There will be a lot of rocking, napping and quick feedings once he starts sitting up in this very versatile rocker/napper/seat.

Tiny Love is giving a LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! reader their own 3-in-1 Rocker Napper ($100 value).  Visit Tiny Love and choose another product that you would love to have for a baby you know.

Capturing Memories with Sam’s Club Giveaway

With Summer comes lots of events and activities and as a busy family we sometimes have a hard time to keeping up. One way we make sure to capture all of the fun is taking pictures. Between our phones, gadgets and cameras we’ve been known to take hundreds of shots. Sometimes this doesn’t work with a huge DSLR camera, there are moments when size does matter.

For these moments we are using our new Olympus TG-320 digital point and shoot camera. This compact device packs a huge punch for it’s little size.

  • 14 Megapixels
  • 3.6 optical Zoom
  • Waterproof, freezeproof and shockproof
  • 720HD Video

This is one of Rob’s Father’s Day Gifts that was featured on our Gift Guide. We’ve been using it at the pool and the beach and even around the house. It’s small enough that Shae can handle and the fact that it’s shockproof makes me Ok with her carrying it around.

Here’s sampling of photos taken with the Olympus TG-320.

I love that it not only came with it’s own floatation device but also a neoprene type cover with a carbineer to attach to the pool bag, handbag or even a belt loop. I’ve been impressed with the quality so far since I’m not a fan of point and shoot cameras. I especially love that it’s rechargable. No batteries to keep on hand and worry if you have the right size and style on hand.

This is a great gift not just for mom and dad but for young adults due to it’s heavy duty construction. Find this great gadget at Sam’s Club for $179. Start shopping now and enter to win a $25 Sam’s Club GC. Visit Sam’s Club online and let me know one thing that you would spend your $25 on.

ROKU 2 XS Streaming Player Giveaway

In our bedroom we have a really old television that I won when I was still working over 12 years ago. It’s a 32 inch television and it gets the job done. We only use it really at bed time or when the kids are sick they like to stay in our bed all day and watch TV. The only real problem is that it has none of the conveniences of today’s technology. There’s no inputs for internet connection so we can’t watch our Netflix’s account.

When I heard of the ROKU 2 XS Streaming Player I was a little skeptical that it would even work on such an old television. However, the box clearly states that it “works with virtually any TV.” I also assumed that it was going to be well out of my comfort zone to hook up. I’m not completely technologically illiterate, I usually can figure most things out after a while, but I really thought this was going to be way out of my league. That definitely wasn’t the case here, all that was in the box was the ROKU player, remote control, A/V cable and a power adapter. Since we don’t have any input outlets on the TV because it’s so old but we do have a dvd player hooked up to the TV, I just plugged the A/V cable into the dvd player. Then, I plug the power adapter into the outlet and that was it. I turned the TV on and after about 5 minutes of registering the ROKU and connected it our wireless router it was up and running.

Now we can access Netflix, we can listen to Pandora, and the kids can play Angry Birds all day long. There are also hundreds of applications that you can add, such as news channels, Hulu Plus, HBO GO, Crackle and Disney Channel. Some apps are free while others do charge a fee. Now the girls can’t wait to be home sick from school now. Their options are limitless now since they love Netflix’s and could play Angry Birds all from the comforts of a bed.

Roku is giving a LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! reader a Roku 2 XS (value $99.99). Let me know what channel you’d be most excited to watch.

Cover Creator by Discovery Girls App & Magazine Giveaway

Parker and Peyton love playing on our iPad and they love to see what new apps are available for kids. We found one that is perfect for girls and hours of fun. It’s the Cover Creator from Discovery Girls and they have been playing with it nonstop.

We easily  downloaded Cover Creator from itunes to our iPad.  This app allows the girls to create their own magazine cover and it’s so easy to use and I love that fact that it entertains both of my girls. Sometimes I find apps that are fun for my 8 year old but the 10 year old finds them too childish and then the ones the 10 yr old can play are too old and hard for my 8 yr old. This is not the case for the Cover Creator.
The girls have been running all over the place taking pictures and designing the perfect magazine covers.
cover creator by discovery girls app

This app allows the girls to take a picture or use one already on the iPad, then it lets you resize or rotate, next you choose a theme of the cover you want such as animals, friends or sports crazy, it also allows you to create your own. Once you choose a theme you can reposition or add your own headlines and bylines that would be on a magazine cover. Once they get it just the way they like they can save, share, reset or delete it.



The girls have been running all over the place taking pictures and designing the perfect magazine covers. No one is safe from getting their own magazine cover. For app details and more about Created By Girls, For Girls philosophy visit Discovery Girls for advice, chat and fun.

Enter to win a Discovery Girls magazine subscription and free access to the Cover Creator for your iPhone, iPad or iPhone. Let me know who you are entering for.

UPS My Choice and Zappos Giveaway #UPSMyChoiceVideos

Now that summer is here one would think that I should be living my life more like a lady of leisure. That is so far from the truth. My calendar is packed with appointments, blog posts due, events, lessons, volunteering and practice for the kids and work. Being organized is key but I can’t always expect everything around me to run on my time. This is where UPS My Choice comes in.

Here is my Delivery Planner with my most recent orders from last week and this week.
