Lunch Bag Hango - Set of Two Sizes (Small &Large) Review

There are two bags that come with this set, a large and a small. The large is 6x6x10 in, and the small is 5x5x7.5 in. The different sizes, while still being a set, let you separate food and beverage, or different foods. It also lets you choose what size is necessary, there are days when you just don't need the larger one, and there are days that the smaller one just doesn't cut it.

The quality of these bags are amazing, they are really durable. I've already put them through the test (albeit accidentally) and have had no issues. The inside keeps my food the temperature that I want it to stay at for a long time, and the zipper has held strong with even twins roughly playing with it.

When I ordered, I received the black set, however the pink seems to be really nice as well.

You can check these bags out on Amazon HERE.

Little SqueezeMe - Reusable Food Pouch Review + Giveaway

I've been testing these out for over a week now, and have not had any issues with these. They are definitely cute little food pouches, and I love how they are designed.

The fact that they can stand upright helps me out a lot, because in a hurry between twins, I don't get much time to think, I just do. I've had other food pouches where I have gone to set them down, and I haven't had the cap on all the way, and I've gotten baby food everywhere.

These are super easy to wash, I haven't had any issues with getting them completely clean and ready for the next go-round. As many small baby things that I have to wash, if I just toss them in some hot water, wait a bit (or more like appease my twins until nap time again), they get clean and I don't have to do much to get them that way.

There are lines telling you how much food there is in each pouch! I was so happy to see this, because I'm very attentive to how much my babies are eating, I'm always worrying about them getting too little. That is usually not the case but I still worry. This helps me portion out what they are eating though so it's not really an issue anymore.

You can use these for larger batches of baby food, so you don't have to worry about throwing anything away. I say this because you can freeze each pouch, so you can do 5 times what one pouch would hold, and then freeze it. You have five instant meals that are frozen. The fact that these can freeze too also means that you can use them as a temporary ice pack in a lunch, because by the time if gets to be unfrozen it should be about lunch time. So you get what is in the pouch unfrozen and you get the rest of what is in the lunch cold. This is great for like doctor's appointments, at least for me. Having twins means we don't always make it through doctor's appointments without them becoming hungry, and this way I can have a snack too while there.

These little pouches are BPA free! So happy about that, a lot of things are becoming that way, so much so that when products don't list that they are BPA-free I am wary.

You can find these food pouches at their website HERE or on Amazon HERE. You can also visit their Facebook HERE and their Instagram HERE

Pacifier Clip "Ladybird" Review

This is something my twins fight over. They both want the pacifier clip with the bright colors, and the wooden beads. The other gets a regular pacifier clip on a ribbon. This has a very strong clip on the end of it, I don't have to worry about it coming off like other pacifier clips I've used in the past (and trust me, I've gone through a bunch all ready).

As much as they have nommed this, the colors have started to fade some, but they are still pretty vibrant. I don't think that matters so much because they both focus on one area (instead of the pacifier sometimes), leaving the rest of it very brightly colored.

The spinning part that tightens and loosens to hold the binky is really stiff, I actually prefer to just loop the thread through one of the holes in the pacifier and slide the other end through. Also makes for a lot quicker binky exchange when they need swapped out.

My twins definitely approve, and I hope that other babies will too. I like it because they like it (simple as that right?).

You can check out this pacifier clip on Amazon HERE or their website HERE.

Bloom Baby Bottle Drying Rack by Stuff4Tots Review

Having twins, a bottle drying rack is a must just to keep everything from ending up everywhere. This easily holds several feedings worth, and I am not worried about it losing some of the pieces, unlike other bottle drying racks I have tried. The one I had been using right before this one is an Avent drying rack, and while it is nice, and has a drip tray, it is really bulky and pieces fall off it occasionally. I do not have that issue with this drying rack.

This drying rack is very cute, but cute is not the only reason why I like how it looks / how it is designed. This is easy to fold up, so on the off chance I have caught up with all my dishes, I can tuck this away so that it isn't taking up half of my counter.

I spend a lot of time at my parents' house since they are so close, and they love spoiling my twins. This is an amazing little tool that can be packed up and take up very little space, so I no longer have to worry about taking enough bottles to last the entire duration of the trip for fear of them not drying all the way. The amount of bottles I used to take no where equals the space that this and a few bottles take up.

You can check this baby bottle drying rack out on Amazon HERE or their website HERE.

Invivo Essential 4 Ounce Fractionated Coconut Oil Review

Coconut oil has so many uses, I could go on and on about them. I will highlight though what I have used this coconut oil for. I've used this as a massage oil, combining it with a couple of drops of my essential oils with them. I have also used this on my chapped hands when my knuckles were starting to crack. By the way, it's pretty amazing for re-hydrating your lips. This does not feel greasy at all, and I like the fact that it is a more compact 4 oz bottle. Yes, coconut oil is something I seem to be running out of a lot of the time, but I like this little bottle for on-the-go times. I can just put this in my purse, a couple of my essential essential oils, and if I don't have a blend made I can easily make one on the spot.

You can check this bottle of coconut oil out HERE (their website) or HERE (Amazon).

Midori Spring Matcha Green Tea Powder Review

I will start off by saying this smells amazing. Ok, that out of the way. When you first open this you will notice that it's got a pull tab. I was very grateful for this because I have issues with other types of mechanisms used to open cans of stuff. This powder is indeed very green (hence the word Midori, which is green in Japanese). They sure weren't kidding that you didn't have to use very much at all to get a lot of flavor, this was some seriously yummy tea. I have not tried using this for cooking, but as much as I like it this way, I might not use it for anything other than tea.

You can check out this matcha tea on Amazon HERE or their site HERE.

26 Piece Sketch & Drawing Pencils Set by Colore - Video

This 26 piece set is pretty cool. I had previously only dabbled in pencil and pen so getting to use this set was pretty fun for me. And the eraser that you could squeeze definitely was fun to play with. My first attempts with anything other than pencil are laughable, or I would show them to you. I wanted to show what the set looks like when in the package. It is a nice flat package that shows everything well. This set is really nice and I'm glad to have seen it because now I get to try things that I had not been able to previously. 

I want to briefly mention what is inside this: 12 graphite pencils (varying grades of hardness), 1 soft graphite sketching pencil, 3 graphite and 3 charcoal sticks (soft, medium and hard), 1 sharpener and 1 plastic eraser (for graphites), 1 sharpener and 1 kneaded eraser (for charcoals)

You can check this 26 piece set by Colore on Amazon HERE.
