I consider myself a fairly organized person. Before I leave the house with Aubrie, I check and recheck her diaper bag. Diapers, wipes, cream, bottle, formula, puffs, baby food, spoon, bib, clothes, and Tylenol are all staples in my bag. Even after massive amounts of planning, I always seem to forget one of the most important items for a successful trip with a teething infant……a teething toy! Smart Mom, a company created in 2002, has made it their mission to never let this happen to me again! Their ingenious idea called Teething Bling, is a product line of wearable teething products. Throw on a bangle bracelet or pendant necklace and you will have a teething toy ready for your infant while on the go! All of the Teething Bling products are made of the highest-quality, phthalate-free, federally approved silicone. The material is non-toxic, latex-free, food–safe, even dishwasher-friendly! The jewelry is available in many shapes and colors, so you are sure to find something to match every outfit.

Smart Mom was nice enough to send me a gift set and a keychain to review. My first impresion was that the gift set was packaged very nicely and even came with a cute card (which can be personalized). It would definitely be a gift I would consider giving at the next baby shower I attend. I decided to let Aubrie try out the heart keychain to see if she liked the texture of the toy. As you can tell, it was a hit!
I like the fact that I can wear the pendant while Aubrie uses it as a teething toy which eliminates the risk of it falling on the ground. The pendants are intended for adult use only, but do include a breakaway clasp as a safety feature.

I wanted to take the time to introduce you to a company with a big mission, an even bigger selection and a personalized feeling of a small neighborhood boutique. Parenting by Nature, a company founded in 2004, carries family friendly products that help reduce the ecological footprint and encourage natural parenting such as cloth diapers, natural baby care products, and baby carriers.
Parenting by Nature is designed to be much more than an online boutique, Tamara Champion (owner), wanted to create an supportive and educational environment for new mothers while offering some of the best product for attachment parenting. The site offers wonderful advice on cloth diapering and babywearing as well as candid reviews from real Moms on the products they sell. Parenting by Nature stands behind the products they offer and has personally tested each and every item.
My daughter Lily was fortunate enough to try out the Kleen Kanteen sippy cup in pink. From the website:

“The Klean Kanteen Sippy Cup is a reusable, lightweight, and risk-free stainless steel bottle designed for small hands. It comes complete with safe, non-leaching #5 polypropylene adaptor and #5 polypropylene sippy spout (2 included for your convenience!). Klean Kanteen offers the perfect plastic-free alternative for your little one!”

One thing I really like about the Kleen Kanteen is that it grows with your child. When your child outgrows the sippy lid, a sports cap or flat cap can be purchased. I also like that the mouth is wide enough to put ice cubes in for hot days at the park.

Want to try out the Kleen Kanteen? Parenting by Nature has generously offered one lucky reader a cup in their choice of colors!
