Breeze through security checks without opening your bag, and feel confident that SMARTY’s upgraded materials, reinforced stitching, and military grade nylon bottom will last longer than the other less expensive brands. Large Pockets with Smooth Zippers and a Big Water Bottle Holder are convenient features for the modern day student, airport employee, or correctional officer.

Waterproof Smock Bib - Baby To Love

Disclosure: I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.

Nearly everything a baby or toddler does is messy. When my granddaughter was here in January, mealtimes were delightfully chaotic. Her parents had gotten into the habit of just taking off her clothes before meals, and they remarked they wish they had a bib that covered everything. I'm so excited that I get to send the Baby To Love Waterproof Smock Bib to them!

It is made of waterproof material, with gathers at the wrist and velcro at the back, so it can completely cover your child's shirt and arms, and when the child is placed in a highchair, it also covers their lap. It can easily be wiped down after a messy meal with a cloth or sponge, or you can toss it in the washer.

The pink heart smock is perfect for little girls and Baby To Love also offers one for boys with blue stripes. This waterproof smock is also perfect for early learning art activities, water table play, exploration with slime or shaving cream, and so many other wonderfully messy learning opportunities.

This wonderful smock bib from Baby To Love solves the problem of messy food and fun by protecting your little darling from destroying every piece of clothing. Just think how many less extra outfits you'll have to carry in the diaper bag! This Waterproof Smock is the perfect gift for parents of babies and toddlers. Edited to add: Look at my adorable granddaughter in her new smock!

PittMoss Organic Potting Mix

Disclosure: I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.

PittMoss is an organic potting mix made from recycled cellulose fibers, like newspaper. It keeps material out of the landfill, which allows gardeners to have good stewardship of our planet. The unique physical, chemical, and biological properties of PittMoss maximize the use of nutrients and water.

PittMoss is a next-generation growing media. Not only does it reduce the need for applied chemicals and water, it is made from organic and natural materials. PittMoss can be used in so many different ways. Whether you're an avid gardener, a specialty grower, or you like to mix your own potting or gardening soil to perfection, using PittMoss can dramatically improve your results.

The first thing I noticed about PittMoss was its lightweight properties. Carrying a bag of PittMoss is so much easier than carrying a bag of regular potting soil. It's also an easier medium to work with when planting, especially in planters, like my planter wagon of strawberries. PittMoss is easy to handle, easy to move around, and easy to spread around plants.

PittMoss is also less dusty than a peat-based blend. The surface area of PittMoss encourages a better balance of air and water, which acts like a probiotic for plants, helping them grow bigger and better. The recycled ingredients of PittMoss are also free of pests, insects, and diseases. I love working with PittMoss!

I've gotten around a dozen tiny strawberries from my two strawberry plants before adding PittMoss to the existing potting soil I used when I planted them a month ago. I'm so excited to see if the addition of PittMoss increases the size of the berries. I'll update my post in a few weeks to let you know!

Tasket Toys - THE Theme Box for your Preschooler

Disclosure: I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.

I taught preschoolers for 25 years and there is no better way for a young child to learn than through a theme kit that incorporates activities of many kinds. Young children learn in many different ways, and so it's important to provide them multiple, related, learning opportunities. Tasket Toys is an amazing company that does all the work of creating a theme box for your child! It's perfect for parents, grandparents, and child care providers who want to keep kids busy, entertained, and engaged in learning.

Each Tasket Toys theme box comes packed with great items for unplugged, independent play! I just received the Under The Sea box and all of these activities are perfect for ages 2-5 years. Each box is expertly curated by moms, for moms, and tested by kids. Under The Sea includes an octopus toy, a no-mess fish bowl, a water paint doodle mat, a magnetic puzzle, a book, and reusable stickers and five scenes.

Each box includes a Book to promote reading and increase attention span, a Creative Activity for hands-on learning and creativity, an Open-Ended Toy to inspire imagination, and a Learning Activity for focused attention and problem solving. Plus, if they find something extra that their own kids love, that makes parents lives easier, they'll even include bonus items. And Tasket Toys is always MESS-FREE!

All of the activities are quality items and come packaged together in a brightly colored box that your child will love getting in the mail! You can buy one box or sign up for bimonthly or quarterly shipments. It's a great gift idea for preschoolers, one that will help instill a love of learning. Parents and grandparents will love the way their little ones delve into the educational (and fun) activities in the Tasket Toys box!
