Mitetees are Mighty Cute!

I love finding cute tees for babies and toddlers, and when we came across Mitetees we were truly excited about their tees! Mitetees offers personalized tees that are cute, smart, and fun! If you’ve been a long time reader here at A Mom’s Review then you know just how much we love personalized items.

Not only are Mitetees personalized, they are also unique. I haven’t seen anything like this anywhere else. These tees are also high quality 100% soft cotton.

Overall, A Mom’s Review loves Mitetees and we think they would make great baby shower gifts as well as great birthday gifts for babies and toddlers! Our son is rocking his “Made In Kentucky” tee and I love the reactions we get from everyone! Well, so does he!

If you’d like your very own personalized Mitetee then go on over to their site today.There’s so many great things to choose from!

Johnson’s Bedtime Toddler Easy Grip Soap Bar

For the most part, we use body wash and bubbles for our boys bath time routine. It’s quick, easy, and we have no issues with soap flipping out of their hands. In comes the Johnson’s easy grip toddler sudzing bar and now we are using soap! It’s a miracle! Well, not really a miracle but a great soap invention! I sure wish I had known about easy grip bars before now!

The specific soap that we were sent to review was the Johnson’s bedtime easy-grip toddler sudzing soap bar! So far, we are really enjoying this product. The soap has NaturalCalm which is a patent pending essence blend that has been tested and proven to have relaxing properties. If you want to get your child in the mood for bed time then this one way to do it! Johnson & Johnson has also offered up a 3 step bedtime routine that I have agreed to share here.

Three Step Bedtime Routine

* For babies it’s bath, massage and quiet time but toddlers are a different story so consider tweaking the three step routine by making it a bit more interesting:
o Bath: let toddlers try and bathe themselves
o Lotion: massages may be out but let little hands apply lotion to their legs and arms
o Quiet time: take your toddler’s personality and choose activities that are right for them
+ For the more relaxed toddler try reading, singing songs, review of day’s activities, reviewing what was great about the day
+ Feistier toddlers might need something more engaging, so why not try letting them read to you, allow them to perform a song, talk about what’s exciting about tomorrow when they wake up, play some quiet games (like patty cake or board game), allow them to put their favorite stuffed animals to bed.

Overall, we enjoy the soap for it’s design, smell and calming effects. A Mom’s Review definitely recommends the Johnson & Johnson bedtime soap bar for toddlers. Stay tuned for our review of the bedtime body wash!
Price: 3 bars for a suggested retail price of $3.49

Where To Buy: Wal-mart, Target or other discount store
