ParentSphere – Promoting products and services that make a parent's world go around

I have been sporting my Amy Michelle Madison Avenue Tote for the past couple of years.  It is my favorite tote bag.  I still use it, even though I don’t have a mass of baby items to bring with me.  It most definitely has a multifunctional look and feel to it.  I sometimes put my [...]

Britax recently added a baby carrier to their product line.  Pictured above is the Britax Baby Carrier featuring the CarryLong System, which distributes the baby’s weight and reduces the strain on you when carrying your baby for longer periods of time. Some specific info about the new carrier: For babies 8-32 lbs. Baby can face [...]

We are loving this handy little holder called the Zhip.  It’s a smart phone holder with a retractable zip cord, that allows you to virtually hang it anywhere.  Our most favorite use: the backseat for the kids.  The Zhip holds my iPhone, so the kids can watch programs, which keep them entertained on long car [...]

I was given this Joby Gorillapod Video to check out and I love it even more now that I have had a chance to use it. I have a tripod but it doesn’t provide nearly the amount of flexibility and stability as the Gorillapod.  I tend to not use the standard tripod for my Flip [...]

I had the chance to try out the brand new BABYBJORN Comfort Carrier late 2010.  What’s cool about this new style of carrier is that it’s meant to be used with older babies.  The carrier was designed with an ergonomic waist belt, which allows you to continue wearing your baby until approximately age two or [...]

We recently returned from two amazing, back-to-back vacations.  We visited the Dominican Republic, came home for a week, and then jetted off to Florida for our first family visit to Walt Disney World.  I have been itching to write about our adventures and especially the awesome products that helped keep us and our kids happy [...]

We are now counting down the hours until we leave for our beach vacation.  I’m not “completely” packed but I have a great head start.  At this point, I still have my own clothes and stuff for the baby to pack.  I’ve been keeping track of how many diapers we go through each day, so [...]

I have very fair skin and I am also quite freckly.  My days of “laying out” or going to the tanning salon are over.  I can’t risk the likely chance I have of getting cancer.  I have my health and my two little girls to think about. So, that being said, I’m taking Neutrogena® sunblock [...]

NO WAY was I EVER going to be a mom who had a kid that used a pacifier.  Nope.  My first didn’t use one, so why would any babies thereafter? Well…I stand corrected. My second baby is a pacifier baby.  Those “paci’s” help her stay calm.  Here we are, 10 + months later and not [...]

The time has finally come to start packing for our trip.  Usually I am the one who waits until the very last minute to pack but considering we’re going out of the country, I feel a strong urge to take care of things well in advance.  For once I would like to feel cool, calm [...]

Congratulations to our winner, commenter number 37, Allyson! So many people comment on my 10 month old’s stunning blue eyes, so, I feel the need to protect those baby blues while we’re spending our days outdoors, underneath the hot, glaring sun. I know how bad that beautiful sun can be for our skin and eyes, [...]

I just ordered a Trunki for our preschooler.  I heard about this ride-on suitcase a few years ago and really haven’t had a need for one…until now.  I’m kind of giddy about it.  I kind of want to ride it myself, except, I’m a ‘lil too big for it.  Oh well, I’ll live vicariously through [...]

While it’s nice to be recognized on one specific day of the year, Mother’s Day is really every day. I understand that receiving gifts and cards every single day might lose it’s novelty (really?) after a while and I’m not trying to imply that’s what a “Mother’s Day” is all about.  What it’s really all [...]

Congratulations to our winner, commenter number 40 – Elliot M.! The nice weather is here (for the most part) and we’re ready to get out of the house.  Our Britax Blink stroller arrived just in time.  The stroller was sent to us from Britax for review. Upon arrival, there was some assembly required.  I snapped [...]
