Cozi Tot baby sling review

I've been MIA for a bit. I needed a break from social media etc.

I'm back and have doubled our number of children. We now have twin boys. They are two months old. I've been looking into baby wearing because well there's two and it seems necessary. One little guy hates his car seat and the car.

I recently received the cozi tot baby sling to review. It isn't a sling,  but is a mei tai style carrier. I'm not very good at baby wearing yet and getting straps and things right somehow look so easy yet seem complicated to get just right.

This carrier had an odd smell out of the bag,  but smells better after washing. The pictures on Amazon show babies facing outward but as far as I know it's meant to face inward on front or back. The instructions have pictures. I still got confused and looked at YouTube videos to show how to do different mei tai wraps.   These make more sense. It's just easier to see it live.  I tried an infant carry with his legs in.   My first try with cozi tot instructions we did legs out.

My little guy seemed content once he was in. I'm sure I have some adjusting to do. I wore it around the house. It helped calm him down during his fussiest time of day.

The straps felt comfortable.  There was no digging. In doing some research,  many say the stitching should be a certain stitch to make these carriers safe which I don't see on this one. I don't know that I'd trust this as a back carrier,  but I'm scared to back carry right now anyway.

This is a cheap and easy carrier to start baby wearing with.

Label Daddy labels review

We received some label Daddy labels to review. I also purchased some extra so I'd have some for both Sissy and Bubby.  We picked Disney's Frozen and Cars. They were perfect for labeling school or daycare items. I labeled all of Bubby's bedding items for nap time. We washed them once a week and I only had to replace one after several months of use.

I love that they are permanent but not permanent. Ie: If I write on the tags with permanent markers it could fade, but will probably be...well...permanent. If I want to sell or donate the clothes or items my kid's name will still be on it unless I cut off the tag. Many won't consign them without it.  With the labels and some effort, they can peel off. 

I plan on using these labels for everything  and ordering more when they are gone.

I highly recommend them!

These labels are super durable peel-and-stick washable labels -- they're washer/dryer safe, microwave safe, dishwasher safe and UV resistant! Label Daddy labels are also fun and attractive. You design your own labels! Pick from tons of colors, sizes and logos, including Disney and Marvel characters, MLB, NBA, and NHL team logos, other sport and fun logos, and more. Our exclusive laminated coating gives labels an extra layer of protection and is a must for camp! These labels are made in the USA and shipped directly to you worldwide.

Save 20% on Label Daddy labels for Back to School!

I'm so excited to try out Label Daddy Labels.  You see, my daughter's school has a very strict uniform policy.  We bought her a nice uniform jacket at the beginning of the year that was allowed to be worn on the rare cold Florida days.  Yes, you read that right.  I said "a" jacket.  How many do we need in Florida anyway?  I'm an elementary music teacher.  I should have known better.  My sweet daughter lost her one jacket early in the 3 week cold season.  Oops.  We looked everywhere in lost and found piles and could not find it.  I was smart enough to write her name on the tag, but it wasn't enough info for the jacket to make it back to her classroom.  Thankfully, we found a sweater for her to use.

This year, I'm getting more than one jacket and I'm going to try label daddy labels so we don't lose that precious jacket.  It does get really cold during those 3 weeks.

Putting Edge Glow in the Dark Mini-Golf Orlando Review

During Spring break we had a chance to try out the Putting Edge Glow in the Dark Mini-Golf in Orlando.  The kids were very excited.

When we got there we realized it is in an abandoned mall that they are trying to remodel and build back up.  It was completely deserted there and was a little creepy with all the empty stores.  At least we didn't worry about crowds.  The only stores occupied were at the ends of the mall.  A movie theater, Fudruckers, a little book shop, and Bass Pro Shop,

We were glad we were able to find the place.  There was some worry it might not be open...that would be our luck.  Thankfully, it was.

It wasn't a huge place, but we figured that.  It did seem bigger once inside.

We got our putters, a glow and the dark bracelet, and ball.

 The glow in the dark is always cool.  Each hole was very close to the next.  There were little platforms that you could stand on while waiting for others to take their shot so you weren't in the way.  The only thing I didn't like is that each hole isn't separated from the next.  There were quite a few times we accidentally shot into the next area.  Others did in ours as well.  Also, I didn't see a bathroom.  I took Bubby all the way out into the theater next door to go.  If there was a bathroom close by, I didn't see it.  I was quite surprised at how well Bubby did.  I think he did better than Sissy and probably better than me as well.

We decided to go to Ikea afterwards and as soon as we pulled in this is what we saw. Looks like we wore him out a bit. 

We had fun at Putting Edge Glow in the Dark mini-golf.  We love the glow in the dark effect.  I just don't know if we'd spend the money to go back again.  Well...maybe not just full price.  There was a small party area, but I don't think it would be as fun or convenient as other "party" places.  When looking online it says there is Pizza provided for the two upper end packages, but I didn't see any food place in this Putting Edge.  It is quite small and the arcade is just a few things.  It's definitely really quiet for now.  I do hope that this mall picks up and fills all the stores.  It is actually a really cute mall.
