I used to work in a daycare. Anyone who's ever worked in one or been in one knows that daycares and schools are the homes of some of the snottiest noses around. I was constantly wiping noses. No matter how soft, tissue eventually leads to irritation and can never get the really stubborn boogies! Like most moms, I've often used baby wipes on my own kids faces. I always disliked it, but arriving at your destination only to find your perfectly clean child now has a boogie stained face...well, that will lead a mom to do some crazy things! 
My daughter had terrible allergies the first year of her life and there were many times she had to have her nose wiped with regular baby wipes, for lack of anything else. Oh, I remember the terrible fits that ensued when I had to use the bulb syringe. She was always so stuffy. And her poor little nose was always red.So, what's a mom to do? Enter the moms of Boogie Wipes to save the day and give all of us an amazing solution!
Boogie Wipes are the latest innovation in a moist wipe product for busy moms, dads & kids. With added saline, they offer quick, gentle, effective relief of stuck on Boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold & allergies.
And they are fantastic! Boogie Wipes sent me all three scents. My personal favorite is the grape! Neither of my kids have been stuffy lately but they both absolutely love wiping their noses with these soft and scented wipes. My husband was actually quite congested the day the Boogie Wipes arrived. I immediately handed him one of the Menthol Scented wipes. He couldn't believe how quickly and effectively it cleared him up! I love this as an alternative to vapor rubs!Boogie Wipes even come in convenient single packs to throw in your diaper bags! 
Here's the rundown on Boogie Wipes:* Made with Natural Saline to Dissolve Mucus* Hypoallergenic* Alcohol Free* Moisturize with Vitamin E, Aloe and Chamomile* Lightly Scented* Gentle Enough for All Ages* Phthalate & Paraben FreeI am a huge fan and will be a loyal user from here on out!And the fabulous women behind these incredible wipes would like to give one of my readers 2 packs of Boogie Wipes along with some of the great travel packs!!!

One lucky reader will win a Snoogie Seat from Daddy's Design!!!
When my daughter was an infant we had all the seating for babies. She spent time in her baby papason chair, boucy seat, bumbo and with a nursing pillow and blanket on the floor. I had problems with all of them. Putting her flat on the floor always seemed uncomfortable and the nursing pillow seemed really awkward on her neck. The bumbo was far too unsafe for her neck until she was much older. The chair and the seats were fine but a little high off the ground and way too unsturdy to set anywhere but the floor while I did housework. I know I'm not the only mom that has had these issues. And leave it to a Dad to fix them! Two dads, actually. Enter the double daddy team of Daddy's Design. "Unable to find a product that provided the total support they were looking for, the two dads sat down and sketched out design after design, literally on napkins! After a lot of trial and error, and several designs later, the Snoogie Seat was born."The Snoogie Seat is a uniquely designed seat for newborns and infants. The seat is shaped like a cute little monkey and designed to give your baby premium head and neck support. It's lightweight, convenient and washable! 
Daddy's Design sent me a Snoogie Seat to try out. Now, my youngest is almost 2 and, while she enjoyed it very very much, I knew I needed to test it on infants. So, I set out for a local daycare, Snoogie Seat in tow. One of the coolest things about the Snoogie Seat is the portability. Unlike bouncy seats it is very light and unlike nursing pillows, the Snoogie Seat has a handle!! These were features that the caregivers noticed right away.Brandi, mom to 6month old Aubrie and a caregiver at the daycare had this to say:"I like that it's light and comfy for me to hold her. She falls asleep in her carseat a lot but this seems much more comfortable." "I like that it's something I could put her in while I do laundry and I like that I can wash all the drool off!"
Brenda, mom to 3 month old Nicholas and assistant director of the daycare thought:"The bouncy seats are too high up. I like that he can lay on the floor and not touch it!"
The director, Veda, has been caring for babies for 29 years. She's used every baby seat out there. She says she's always been concerned about the safety of the babies necks in seats like. She really liked the Snoogie Seat and said "I like that it saves your arms while feeding. Mine always used to fall asleep."I agree with the ladies. I like that, unlike all those other seats, my kids won't really outgrow this. Sure they've outgrown the perfectly conformed inner seat, but it's still really comfy and the bigger they get the more it's just a fun place to sit and read! I think the Snoogie Seat is amazing. And I think Daddy's Design is amazing. 10% of their net proceeds goes to Children's National Medical Center! How great are they!?! I stand by the Snoogie Seat so much that I've decided to carry it in the Lollipops and Polka Dots boutique! The seats are now available in our Baby Gifts and Gear section of the store!And, it gets better because the dads who make Snoogie Seat want to give a seat to one of my readers!!
