Itzy Ritzy

I recently got my Snack Happened and Wet Happened bags from Itzy Ritzy that I bought through OpenSky from Project Nursery! I absolutely LOVE them!  I bought the Urban Jungle Blue for my son and Licorice Swirl for myself.  The Snack Happened bags are not only reusable and washable, but they are also FDA approved & BPA Free!  The fabric is made from 100% cotton and is lined with thick and lush PVC-Free waterproof lining.  The Snack bags are 7" x 7" and are machine washable.  They can be used to carry snacks, fruit, sandwiches, cell phone cords, lotions, toiletries...the list goes on and on.  Kids and adults can use them!

Use them to carry snacks. 

Use them to carry baby stuff

Use them to carry lotions or sunglasses

The Wet Happened bags are bigger than the snack bags which allow you to carry diapers, swimwear, clothes, and the list goes on.  These bags will not wick even with the wettest items and are machine washable!  The Wet Happened bags come in two sizes:

• Medium 11” x 14” holds 4-6 cloth diapers
• Large 14” x 17” holds 6-8 cloth diapers

I got the 11" x 14" Wet bags, again in Urban Jungle Blue and Licorice Swirl.  I love the Urban Jungle Blue print, so cute and adorable!  I placed a few of my son's gear in the bag and took some pictures of the wet bag!  There's still plenty of room for more stuff!

Wet Bag filled with my son's "stuff"

one onesies, 3 diapers, a burp cloth, and cotton wipe

Paint. Cure. Love

Paint. Cure. Love - is the motto by Nono by Noelle.  Nono by Noelle is a children’s swimwear collection founded with the vision of raising awareness and funds for childhood cancer research while inspiring young artists undergoing cancer treatment.

Nono by Noelle sponsors young artists in cancer treatment and encourage fine art as an outlet by supplying canvases, paints and brushes to bring life to their creativity. Their goal: For children to be inspired to create and love art during a difficult time in their lives. Each season Nono by Noelle sponsor at least one child as the collection’s featured artist and display their artwork on the fabrics of the new season’s swimwear. A portion of all the proceeds from the sales will be donated to childhood cancer research.

This season’s line showcases 4-year-old Devon’s masterpieces. Devon was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of 22 months. The next two and half years of her young life included countless chemotherapy treatments, doctor and hospital visits. During this time, her passion for painting served as a creative outlet. She’s a tough little girl and bravely fought those two and a half years. Devon is currently in remission as of her last treatment, June 2010. You can check out her masterpieces on various swimsuits styles at Nono by Noelle website.

Trying to go au naturale?

I don't know about you , but my baby likes to lick and chew anything he can get his hand on.  He especially loves to chew on anything especially terry cloth!  So I went on-line to see if there are any organic teethers made of terry cloth.  Sure enough I found RiNGLEY Natural Teethers.   Once it arrived, I gave it a good wash and gave it to my son.  My son hasn't let go of it ever since!  Bye Bye pacifier...Hello RiNGLEY! His new RiNGLEY teether has actually saved us since he can now calm himself  down with his new teether.  He no longer cries or whines because he wants his mommy or daddy to put his pacifier back in his mouth.  As you can see from the picture below he also loves to chew on the Maple wood ring.  My son gives it two thumbs up! 


RiNGLEY Natural Teethers is the original Canadian natural teether made of untreated Canadian Maple and 100% organic cotton terry cloth.  The soft terry cloth is all natural. No harmful chemicals or dyes were added to the cloth.  RiNGLEY is able provide babies and toddlers with two different textures with it's simple design. 

It's designed so your baby can easily grip the ring and cloth. RiNGLEY was designed with a child's development in mind. Since infants learn through tactile stimulus, touching and putting things in their mouths, the need for a product made without harmful chemicals and dyes is important.  Cleaning has never been easy. Just detach the cloth from the ring via velcro and put it in the wash! It's both safe and efficient, enabling your baby/toddler to satisfy their chewing/teething needs au naturale.

Ringley Natural Teethers comes in 5 innovative designs:  RiNGLEY Junior, RiNGLEY Knotted, RiNGLEY Ball {with rattle inside}, RiNGLEY Straight, RiNGLEY sun.  Take your pick and go au naturale!
