Review Goober Baby Stylish Tote Bag, Diaper and Wipes Case, and Changing Mat

As moms, ours lives are busy and hectic enough, we don't need the hassle of searching for items in our "overstuffed" bags. When I pack for a day out with our little one, you'd think I was taking a two week vacation, packed with "what if" items. Goober Baby offers functional and stylish solutions to keep our everyday essentials organized.

I received the Candy Coated tote bag from Goober Baby for review and love it. I have to hand it to the ladies at Goober Baby, they have chosen some fabulous high quality fabrics for their collections. The Candy Coated tote bag features a lovely floral print on the outside and a coordinating striped waterproof interior, which is visible through the clear vinyl front of the bag. The generously sized 8"x10" bag offers quick and easy access with the Velcro flap closure.

So, the question is, what would you use this fabulous tote for? Or, actually, what wouldn't you use it for? Not only are these tote bags great for organizing baby items such as toys, diaper changing essentials, medical kits, and mealtime items, but they also come in handy on trips for mom's toiletries and makeup as well.

  • Durable, easy hook and loop closure
  • Measures: 8” x 10”

We fought over the catalog, checking out the collection of over 100 designs. Their collections include designs for any style and personality, including the Skull Vision, Nature's Bouquet, and the Wide World of Sports.

  • UV and fade resistant.
  • Withstands the dishwasher.
  • Colorful labels with a variety of fun icons to choose from.

    Diaper Baggies - Dispose of Baby Diapers without Odor - Great for travel, nursery, or on the go

    Cute. Colorful. Clean.

    Diaper Baggies offers an innovative way of disposing of those smelly diapers without the worry of leaving an embarrassing odor. Whether you are in the car, visiting Grandma's or traveling, these baggies are a stylish and practical way of disposing of soiled diapers.


    Diaper Baggies come in a set of forty and are offered in two adorable designs, with more designs in production. Diaper Baggies are environmentally friendly durable zip lock bags created from recycled plastic. The white plastic bags conveniently conceal the contents of the bag and feature a cute design. These baggies create the perfect solution for a sanitary and odorless way of disposing of diapers by locking in odors and bacteria.


    If you have used those thin tie baggies found in stores, you know that they don't seal in odor, no matter how tight you tie the bag. And, the diaper pails that are supposed to seal in odors, leave you with a pungent room odor. Not the scent you want to smell when you enter a baby's room. They are also great for storing soiled clothing while on the go, or wet swimsuits in the warmer seasons.


    We put Diaper Baggies to the test during our holiday travels and were thrilled at the results. These stylish and tough baggies sealed in the odor until we were able to dispose of them properly in the garbage. We can now feel confident enclosing dirty diapers in Diaper Baggies and tossing them in any garbage without worrying about embarrassing odors. These are a definite must-have for all parents.

    Mommy's Little Monkey - Nursing Curtain for Breastfeeding Comfortably Modestly

    Mommy's Little Monkey Pampering Mommies & Their Little Monkeys

    We all know the importance of breastfeeding our children and many of us have experienced nursing in public. Although breastfeeding is natural, many moms feel uncomfortable exposing their breasts is public while nursing. I am personally a modest person and prefer to be more discreet while breastfeeding. Instead of hiding out in a back room because the receiving blanket you brought slips off, stay, relax, and nurse your precious little one modestly with The Nursing Curtain™.

    Owner and creator Evie Ballesteros has made it her mission to help advocate, educate, and demonstrate the importance of breastfeeding by creating Mommy'’s Little Monkey™.

    The Nursing Curtain is made of 100% lightweight cotton, has an extra piece of material (valence) for added coverage, and is available in two styles, lined for cooler weather and unlined for warmer weather. Both styles include a convenient interior pocket for storing nursing necessities and each one comes in it's own coordinating drawstring bag. The lined version includes a small detachable burp cloth for those occasional messes.

    I would have loved to have owned The Nursing Curtain while I was nursing. The durable neck ring and secured snap closure provides privacy while breastfeeding without the worry of baby tugging it off. Baby is easily viewable by simply raising the neck ring to peek in. The wrap around design partially covers areas that postpartum moms prefer not to expose. I think I could have easily nursed my twins with The Nursing Curtain™ and been able to relax with adequate coverage.

    Mommy's Little Monkey™ offers a collection of adorable onesies and t-shirts featuring their signature monkey logo. Choose from a variety 100% ring spun soft cotton long-sleeved onesies, lap tees, and toddler tees. Complete the set by adding the coordinating bib, making an adorable gift set that is perfect for little girl or boy monkeys.

    Celebrities Gwen Stefani, Drew and Lea Lachey, Brooke Shields, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Britney Spears, Elizabeth Vargas, Lizzie Grubman, Diana Krall, Ben and Jennifer Affleck, and Adam Sandler have all been gifted The Nursing Curtain™ and the Mommy'’s Little Monkey signature clothing.
