Mayapple Baby Suri the Octopus and Friends (Teething Toys) Review and Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 7/22 (Rafflecopter)

My family and I recently had the honor to review the Mayapple Baby Suri the Octopus and Friends teething toys! My three and a half year old daughter loves them and thinks that they are so cute! She especially loves playing with Suri the Octopus! But most of all, my eleven month old daughter, Hailey, loves to hold Suri, the Anchor, and the Wheel while chewing on them! All three of these non-toxic teething toys have helped Hailey to cut her first four teeth! I don't know what I would have done without them for her to chew on. We take one or two of them with us everywhere we go.

Mayapple Baby Suri the Octopus and Friends teething toys are:

• Non-Toxic
• Made of 100% food-grade silicone
• BPA Free
• Phthalates Free

Mayapple Baby - Roving Cove Safe Corner Cushions Review and Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 7/21 (Rafflecopter)

My husband and I found these two matching end tables sitting curbside, and we love them. They are old, they need to be refinished. But we figured, we might as well wait until our youngest child is at least three or four years old before we do that. But we would like to try to keep our youngest child, Hailey, from getting too many bumps and bruises on her head, and this is where Roving Cove Safe Corner Cushions by Mayapple Baby can help! They fit perfectly, and I don't care if the color matches or not. Everything in our home is mismatched, but beautiful.

We even put some of the Roving Cove Safe Corner Cushions around our son's train table! This way, when Hailey is crawling or walking around it, she will be safe! I am also HUGE on products being Non-toxic. We have even looked up a few websites that have tested toys that contain Lead, Bromine, and other chemicals that are unsafe for our children, and we are in the process of finding out how to dispose of these toys so that other children won't get to play with them either.

Mayapple Baby/Roving Cove Safe Corner Cushions are furniture corner guards that are:

• Soft
• High Density
• Easy-to-peel 3M double-sided tape for Secure Adhesion: 64 pieces of tape included
• Non-toxic
• Fire-retardant
• Available in three different colors: Coffee, Oyster, and Onyx

*The 3M tape needs to be aligned to all the outside edges of the cushion. This is important because the cushions won’t stick properly if not done this way.

You can purchase the Roving Cove Safe Corner Cushions on Amazon.com for $21.29 on sale!

What Would You Do If Your 12 Month Old's Blood Test Came Back Positive For Lead?

(image credit here)

This is what happened to us. Hailey's finger prick came positive for lead. She could of touched our floors, walls, small carpet in front of our fridge, her stroller? Maybe she touched a toy with lead paint on it in our home? Maybe it's our end tables, her pack and play, her clothing? Maybe, it's the food, baby food, that she has been eating?

Lead in baby food? Why would there be lead in baby food? Because, there is! Yep, you heard me right, there is lead in the very baby food that Hailey, and many other babies, have been eating!!! There is also lead in Del Monte and Dole packed fruits! Nice huh!

California is really strict about how much lead and other things go into foods packaged and sold in their state, and I feel that ALL 50 states should also follow their lead (funny how the two words are the same, sound different, and mean different things, I had to look them up). But, lead in baby food? Who would have ever thought that baby food could harm a baby? I never did, but I do now.

There is a printable list of ALL of the baby food that is safe, and those that tested not safe. Here is information on the case still pending in CA.

There is also a printable list of other foods, that children and adults alike have certainly eaten at one time or another, that were found to contain lead, and those foods that were tested, that didn't contain lead.

Hailey won't be eating anything on these lists, nor will my other children or I. I am also going to go through ALL of our clothing. Because did you know, clothing can contain lead too. I feel that minimizing our family's exposure at this point should be done. Even if the blood drawn from Hailey's arm comes back fine, I am still going to minimize the lead exposure in our home and bodies.
