Bright Starts Pretty in Pink Collection

Brynlie is in love with this teething toy from Bright Starts. It is one of her favorite toys and girlfriend has a meltdown each time that it falls from her grasp.

I love to stick it in the fridge for her--she loves the cold feeling on the purse when it is on her gums. The purse is made of a softer material and filled with water which makes it the perfect texture for her to chew on and gum on. A lot of teething toys are so hard that she doesn't care for them as much as she loves her Bright Starts Pretty in Pink Carry & Teethe Purse! It's squishy enough to soothe her gums, but not so soft that it wouldn't be beneficial to teething.

The green handle is the perfect size for her to chew on and she loves to stick her hand underneath for a super grip. There are also two round bead chasers that can move around and allow your baby to watch, feel and move them around on their own.

I really like the different textures that this teething toy is made of. Lots of bumps and shapes so her hands and her mouth can explore, explore, explore. It's easy to clean and very easy to store. It has been a huge hit with Brynlie! It's on the top of her go to toy list which makes both her and me happy.

Right now if you purchase the Bright Starts Pretty in Pink Carry & Teethe Purse or any of their Pretty in Pink collection, a portion of their proceeds will benefit breast cancer research and breast cancer awareness.

Bright Starts Baby Play Place Deluxe Edition {Review}

Brynlie is getting to the age where she is really soaking in her surroundings and not wanting to be held 24/7. Although I miss snuggling with her so much, I honestly love watching her and her new found independence. From finding her hands, talking to me daily and finding an interest in everything around her--I love it all.

One of her favorite toys is the Baby Play Place Deluxe Edition. Holy cow. This toy? Has it all. From a motion activated musical ladybug, to a mirror and a variety of different settings it truly is one of the top baby gyms that I have used!

Right now we have the sides both placed in the up position. It's a great way for Brynlie to lie there and tilt her head to look at the clouds, trees and bright animals. I can place her on the mat and she will do a lot of quiet alertness (or "QA" as my sister calls it) while focusing on the different focal points. 

I love how there are the two cross bars that overlap on top. We've placed the musical ladybug in the middle, and have hung the rattles, teethers and elephant buddy on the sides. I have watched Brynlie kicking like crazy and hitting the little rattles over and over again. I think she is starting to realize that, hey, she's the one making the noise and she loves it! It also comes with the following attachments:

  

• colorful bead chaser 

• 2-in-1 electronic musical toy

• a tummy pillow for some tummy time

• the four walls can be configured into your baby's stage (newborn, infant, crawling and sitting)

• water filled bee for teething

I highly recommend this play gym for it has so many different positions and ways to have the walls up, down or half and half. It truly will last her a long time. The fact that it has a musical motion activated ladybug is a huge plus! 

My final opinion? Love it. It's a top of the line baby gym that has so many great toys, teethers, and possibilities. If you're in the market for a new baby gym or have a baby gift to get a friend I recommend the Baby Play Place Deluxe Edition hands down.

Bright Starts Put & Take Purse {Review}

 It's no secret that I have three daughters and that I adore all of the girly toys that come along with having a daughter or two or three. For me the hard part of toy buying is finding a brand that their quality lives up to my expectations while at the same time having that company offer a variety of fun toys for my girls.

A favorite brand in our house is Bright Starts. I've been a huge fan of their products since having Isabella almost four years ago. Their toys are colorful, fun, and are designed to help your infant or child learn while at the same time have fun. 

One of my favorite toy collections that Bright Starts offers is the Pretty in Pink collection where the items are--you guessed it--pink! I adore pink and so far my girls do, too. We love the Pretty in Pink Put & Take Purse. It's adorable and is so much more than the basic toy purse.

Crinkle money!

With the Put & Take Purse it's large enough for your little one to put lots of little treasures inside. The musical bow on the front of the purse plays different sounds when you push it in. Madelyn was having a ball with it!  

The purse comes with five different accessories--two crinkle money pieces which has always been a big hit in this house. The girls loved crinkly things when they were babies and I am sure Brynlie will be no different. The other items include a heart shaped mirror, a cell phone rattle and a teether toy which will be handy for Brynlie once she starts to teethe in a few months. 

All in all my girls loved the purse--even Isabella was getting into the action. I can imagine once Brynlie is a little older that they will love playing with it along side of her. The recommended age is 3 months and up which is a great age--and this is a great gift to give an expecting mom at her baby shower!

Sister play time! Even Brynlie got in the action!
