Red Rose Orange Pekoe Tea Bags

I grew up in a Red Rose household. Drinking any other tea was just not the sort of thing one did. This is my go-to for a "cuppa" every evening. The key to a good cup of tea is to ensure it is steeped properly. With any tea if you steep it too long it will be bitter and undrinkable. While I'm not always happy with the price I pay, I try to purchase when Red Rose is on sale and stock up. -
Lipton Green Tea Naturally Decaffeinated Tea Bags
I liked this tea and drank it as a hot beverage option to coffee while I was pregnant. Be sure to steep it long enough to get a robust tea flavor, otherwise the result is a thin and grassy tasting tea. Proper steeping in boiling water is necessary... +

Effective at stain fighting, light/no scent and my babies laundry comes out of the dryer smelling like it was hung on the wash line to dry. Have not tried other Baby Laundry soaps as of yet but have been very happy with this detergent. Great price and have picked up a few extra bottles when it's been on sale. -

I have been using this lotion ever since my little one was born and it keeps her skin soft and smooth with a delightful smell. We bath every night as part of our bedtime routine and we slather our baby in the Live Clean lotion afterwards. The calming herbal smell definitely helps her fall asleep and the non greasy feel allows us to dress her afterwards easily without sticking to her onesie. We also use the Live Clean wash in the tub, and will continue to use both of these products as we have been extremely satisfied with them. -

I was given a sample of this after a birthing class and was happy to see that it was a local Halifax company. I have used one small tub already and went out and purchased a second. It is light, not greasy, has a pleasing non medicated smell and cleared up my little ones red bum in a few days. I would highly recommend this product and other Baby Skin Fix products to new moms. -

I've been using the Swing for the past three months and as a new mom never breast feeding before I can say that this pump has certainly met my needs. It is easy to use, clean and sterilize. When I was in the first month fog and I left the accessories in a pot and it boiled dry (attempting to sterilize) I was able to easily find replacement parts online and at a reasonable price. I also made sure I purchased the microwave sterilizing bags to avoid another incident. While I do find it does go through batteries fairly frequently, it does come with an adapter (I just don't like feeling tethered to the electrical socket). I'd recommend this pump to any moms who aren't looking to exclusively pump, and would be breast feeding or supplementing with formula. If you were exclusively pumping, a double pump might be your best bet. -

I started using the Dry Oil series from Dove to help quench my thirsty post-partum hair shortly after giving birth to my first daughter Addie. While I will say the shampoo and condition both have a great smell and creamy feel it does weigh down my new thinner post-partum hair. I used to be able to go 3-4 days between washes, however while this product feels great in the shower, I'm finding that my hair is weighed down and greasy by the end of the second day. -
