Dry in style with boon drying rack

I’m never the traditional mommy when it comes to baby gear and clothing. I’m always on the look out for modern, trendy yet useful items and Boon grass drying rack has always been on the top of the list.

The grass drying rack by Boon easily holds items upright for drying while excess water collects in the bottom tray. Perfect for drying items of all shapes and sizes. It comes in a two-piece, easy clean design.

Best reason to get the new iPhone 4s for parents

Looking for a reason to get yourself a 4S even though there’s technically nothing wrong with that iPhone 4 you swore you’d use forever only 14 short months ago?

Well, it’s your lucky day. Thanks to Evoz, you’ve got all the excuse you need.

The free Evoz app turns your iPhone into the most advanced baby monitoring device ever invented. Just download the app, place your old phone in baby’s room and use your swish new model to listen in—from anywhere in the world with a signal. Too busy to keep listening? No worries, the system will call, text or email you when your baby has been crying for 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 5 minutes or 8 minutes (not sure how fast we would receive them – need to test it out). There’s even a data tracker that analyzes crying and sleep patterns—what more reason do you need?

Check out the Evoz review

Preventing stretch marks

During pregnancy your skin tends to get dry and itchy. Sooner or later the appearance of those dreaded stretch marks start to appear on your tummy. I know they say that gens play a big role in getting stretch marks but I truly believe that these items help and can make a difference.

What skin care products did you use while pregnant ?

You can find both Palmers and Bio oil at Boots pharmacies.
