Graco Modes Click Connect Travel System

IMG_6294

Disclosure: I was sent a Modes Travel System to review. When I had Ethan our biggest purchase was a travel system. It was nothing fancy, just a plain stroller, car seat and base. We used the infant car seat for ten months and the stroller for almost two years till we had Carlee and needed a double. This was almost six years ago and to be honest I had no idea how much Graco travel systems had advanced over the years. The Graco Modes Click Connect travel system  is a versatile 3-in-1 stroller that grows with your child from infant to toddler. The Modes Click Connect travel system claims to have 10 different riding options (I only feel like there are seven modes, which is still a ton- but more on that later) for maximum product versatility and longevity, making it an easy choice for new moms who want to get the most out of their … [Read more...]

Help Ask Similac to Remove GMOs from Formula #SimilacNoGMO

3572718_370

Tomorrow, May 22nd from 8-9:30pm EST I encourage you to join myself and a ton of other moms to petition Similac on twitter to remove genetically modified organisms (GMOs) from their infant formula. During the party there will be a giveaway every 3 minutes or less to people participating. Help us encourage Similac to lead the industry in positive change. It's not about breastfeeding vs. formula feeding, it's about protecting babies from ingredients that don't have adequate safety testing. It's about a 400% rise in childhood allergies since GMOs were quietly introduced into our food supply without a label.Let's empower ourselves as moms and protect our children by asking Similac to remove GMOs from their … [Read more...]
