Organic Toddler Bathtime with Dolphin Organics


What I put on my children and what I bathe them with is something I think about and research. From lotions, to sunscreens, to bath products like soap and shampoo; anything that touches my child's skin is scrutinized. Sometimes this can be difficult. How do I know what is, and isn't, good for my children's skin. Recently it came to light that the products I was using on children had changed ingredients without any acknowledgement so I decided to make the switch to a new brand.


I heard about Dolphin Organics last August at BlogHer'11. They were at the Expo of the conference and were very helpful in explaining what ingredients they used and how important it was to them to be as transparent as possible with the ingredients they used. They wanted their customers to KNOW that they cared about what they put into each product they sold.


Since my family does a bit of traveling in the summer I thought that a Deluxe Travel Set in simply citrus would be the best way to travel with the kids and know that their baths would be toxic free.

An added bonus is that this travel set not only comes with shampoo, conditioner, bubble bath, and lotion; but it also contained sunscreen as well! How awesome is that for traveling with kids? Plus it came in a handy storage bag for easy portability.


We absolutely love the variety of products Dolphin Organics has to offer and their concern for our children's well being. The amazing thought and consideration put into each ingredient and product shows. Just speaking with the folks at Dolphin Organics made me feel at ease with usign these products on my children.


As we enjoy the gorgeous weather this summer we'll be using our Dolphin Orgnanics sunscreen on the children daily whether we're at the beach, the pool, the zoo, or any other place outside in sunny San Diego or on vacation.

 Head on over to the Dolphin Organics website to check out what else they have to offer!

The Perfect Toddler Travel Companion {@JoovyOO Foocot Review}


Since we purchased our first set of Disneyland Annual Passes years back, we've been increasing our stays in hotels up on Anaheim every year. Adding kids to the mix just makes us a bit too tired to either wake up early and drive the 1.5 hours or stay till closing and drive home.

We've remedied this by mastering the art of fanagling an online deal for a hotel that usually ends up costing us $50-75 a night. Suffice it to say, we stay at hotels at least 6 times a year with the kids. And sometimes a set of doubles or a king bed just isn't enough.

So when we saw the Joovy Foocot Child Cot we knew we had our solution for beds for the kids during our hotel stays.


The Joovy Foocot is a very durable and easy to use child's cot that sets up and breaks down with little trouble at all. It even comes with it's own fitted sheet and carrying case!

It supports a child up to 48 inches tall or 75 pounds and is made of a sturdy steel frame with top grade 600D nylon fabric.

When you're done with the Foocot you simply fold it up and put it in the carrying case. When folded, it's small enough to store in your trunk, in closets, or even under beds! The compact size of the folded Foocot will take little to no room at all with all of your other travel gear.


We recently stayed out on the town for the night in celebration of our 5 year wedding anniversary. And since my daughter is still a bit too young to leave alone, we had her join us after enjoying dinner together.

Having the option of letting her sleep in the foocot made her feel as if she had her own toddler bed similar to the one we have at home. And since it fit nicely on the side of our bed, if she needed us at all during the night she'd just climb up and join us.


This cot is not only great for travel but will be the perfect solution to sleep overs in the near future! 

My son is already talking about having his cousin over for the night and since he's allergic to dogs we want to make sure we have a safe, dog free place for him to sleep (rather than right on the floor where there may be traces of dog hair even after we vacuum). The foocot is the perfect, simple solution to our problem!


And I'm sure we'll soon be purchasing the accompanying Foocot Quilted Mattress Pad to make longer trips more enjoyable for the kids. While the Foocot is not meant to provide a permanent place to stay, trips over a few nights might be a bit more comfy when using the Mattress Pad instead of just the Fitted Sheet.

If you're traveling anywhere this summer with little ones and are looking for a great solution to the roll out couch or sleeping bag on the floor, then I highly recommend checking out the Joovy Foocot Child Cot.

Versatile, durable, and very fun to use!
