**I participated in this program on behalf of The Fred Rogers Company and The Motherhood. All opinions are my own.

Growing up one of my favorite television shows was Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. I always loved the positive message, story lines and of course, the catchy tunes! That's why I love that my kids enjoy Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood from PBS! It's one of the most engaging, educational and beloved children's programs around...not to mention family-friendly! YAY!

I've learned that it was very important to the producers to maintain the nostalgia from the original series as they reimagined it for today's audience. Both shows open with characters who put on signature red sweaters and shoes. There are also miniature models from Mr. Roger's Land of Make Believe seen in the background of Daniel!! How neat is that?!

As a fan of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood myself, and knowing how much my kids enjoy the program, I was excited to learn that they now have a Daniel Tiger Toy line. When asked if I'd like to participate in a product review and help spread the word, I was thrilled!

To start, I was able to participate in a briefing session with several other bloggers as well as Roberta Schomburg, PhD, Child Development Consultant for The Fred Rogers Company, Chris Loggins, Productin Manager, The Fred Rogers Company, Tim Sabba, Jakks Pacific/TollyTots, and more! To say I was excited is an understatement!

I learned a lot about the show, as well as the new toy line! Since children are starting pretend play between 18-36 months old, it's great to find quality toys that encourage their creativity and imaginations. Toys build curiosity and investigation in children which is exactly what the Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood toys do!

Every toy is made to inspire creativity and imagination. They allow for open-ended play and are perfect for 2-5 year olds especially! We received the Bungalow Adventure and a Daniel Tiger Plush doll! 

The playset is so neat! This cozy bungalow is the perfect place for kids to set the furniture and use their imaginations! I see them imitating the things they see on the show a lot, as well as taking the shows they've seen and expanding upon them by using their creativity and imaginations. It's so fun to watch!

I love the open design of the house. It's perfect for my kids' little hands and they love all the fun details like the door and windows! 

Another feature I appreciate is the fact that everything that comes with it fits right inside, so clean up is easy and we are sure not to lose anything. It also makes it easy to take from one room to another to play with. My almost 4 year old especially loves this toy!

Then there's the Daniel Tiger Plush which my 2 year old is in love with! He is adorable and looks just like Daniel from the show!  This cozy, cuddly plush tiger is great for snuggling as well as for playing make believe. He's a favorite in our house! 

Some of the other Daniel Tiger Toys available are:

• Neighborhood Friends Figures

• Neighborhood Trolley

• Neighborhood All-in-One Playset

• 3-in-1 Transformation Treehouse

We have been really happy with the Daniel Tiger toys and are thrilled that there are more available. I definitely see buying more in the future. They would make great gift ideas!

Buy It: Daniel Tiger Toys are exclusively available at Toys R Us.

With snow in our forecast I am beginning to realize that winter will be here before we know it! How is that possible?! I feel like the school year just started, and now soon Kaelyn will be on winter break!! Time sure flies!

Although I'm not a big fan of the bitter cold and icy conditions winter brings here in the midwest, I do enjoy some cold-weather activities with my family each year. One of those is building a snowman! It may sound simple, but all three of my kids (including my husband and I) love to do this (multiple times) with the kids each winter! I'm not sure what they like more...rolling the snowballs or getting to put the finishing touches on Frosty like a carrot nose and scarf to keep him warm. It's all a lot of fun!

We also enjoy sledding with the kids. Our home is on a corner, and the snowplows that plow our streets end up pushing all of the snow onto the corner of our yard. By mid-winter it is one of the largest piles of snow any yard has around us and the kids love to sled down it.

These are a couple of the fun winter activities we like to do as a family, but unfortunately winter also bring some things I don't like so well, too! With the cold weather also comes extremely dry skin that is hard to keep moisturized. Myself and my sons struggle with this the most this time of year! I am always looking for a way to help prevent and relieve it, which is why I was excited when introduced to a new product from Johnson's Baby thanks to TheMotherhood!

We were sent a gift basket with several great Johnson's Baby Products, including the new Intense Moisture Cream which I was really looking forward to trying on my boys (and myself!). What I noticed about this cream right away, was that it has a light scent. Not overpowering, but just nice.

I was also impressed with how rich and creamy it feels as I rub it onto my own skin, and my boys. At the same time it feels light and absorbs into the skin quickly. I love how smoothly it goes on and in the time I've been using it, it seems to help a lot. Anytime Kaden (who has the most dry skin of us all) complains of dry or itchy skin, I've been putting a little bit of this cream on and he says it feels better almost right away!

He has very sensitive skin to products, and this one is gentle enough that it doesn't irritate his skin at all. I love that! Not to mention the fact that it really seems to lock in moisture and provide long-lasting relief from dry skin!

I've been impressed with the Intense Moisture Cream and am looking forward to enjoying our favorite winter activities without discomfort dry skin getting in the way!

If you'd like to learn more, I will be participating in a one-hour Twitter party with Johnson's Baby and TheMotherhood on Wednesday November 13, at 2pm ET (hastag #JohnsonsBaby). We will be talking about our favorite winter activities and protecting babies' skin from dry, cold weather!

Win It: Thanks to Johnson's Baby and TheMotherhood, one lucky reader is going to win a Johnson's Baby product gift basket like the one I received (including Johnson's Baby intense Moisture Cream)!

**This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Pampers. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine

As a mom of a little one who still wears diapers at night, I know how important it is to have a superior dry diaper. This especially comes to mind during time-change transitions such as End of Daylight Savings Time which is coming up soon! That's why I was excited to learn about some improvements made to the newest Pampers Baby Dry Diapers!

This is something that many moms will appreciate, especially considering that when interviewing over 9,000 moms, Pampers found the number one unmet need is a diaper that provides superior overnight dryness. Now both mom and baby can count on a diaper that will provide up to 12 hours of overnight protection!

This is perfect timing with End of Daylight Savings Time quickly approaching. Over half of moms (52%) feel that their baby's sleep patterns are thrown off when the clocks "fall back' and Daylight Savings Time ends. I am one of those moms! I always feel like our sleep schedule is thrown off and takes quite some time to get used to again...especially the kids who are 2 and under! To help with the time change, it's important to me that my baby in diapers sleeps as comfortably as possible and I feel that these diapers can help with that transition!

Pampers sent me a package which included a few things that would help my baby's slumber, including a pack of Pampers Baby Dry diapers, Children's Place PJ's and Kim West aka "The Sleep Lady's" tips to help with the End of Daylight Savings sleep transition.

The Pampers Baby Dry diapers are available in sizes 1-6. This is a wide range which means many baby can benefit from a more restful night sleep. This in turn will hopefully allow them to be less fussy and more content during the day! YAY! The   includes an ultra absorb core to cover up to 95% of overnight loads and three layers of absorbency vs two (the amount found in ordinary diapers).

We've been testing them out and so far are really liking them. They seem to keep Caysen comfortable not only with the extra absorbency, but also the design. They are snug, but have stretchy sides which help them fit him well and comfortably.  Of course, the high quality (and super cute!) pjs also help to get a good night's sleep!

As I mentioned, with Daylight savings time ending on Sunday (November 3rd), we also received tips to help with the sleep transition...to help our kids adjust to the time change gradually so they don't need to make a large adjustment all at once. There were 10 tips that can help help, and I had a few favorites that I thought would definitely help make a smooth transition when we fall back one hour.

The first was to help your baby sleep more soundly, consider installing blackout curtains and using a sound machine! We recently did these things in our youngest son's room and I'm hoping it will help with the transition.

The second is to ensure that your children know when it's time to sleep, rely on your established soothing bedtime routine. We have a bedtime routine that we'll stick to, even with the time change and I know this will help the kids understand when it's time to go to sleep. It will also be important to us to use one of the overnight diapers to help keep Caysen comfortable while he sleeps.

The third tip, which I thought was great, was to slowly adjust your child's bedtime and naptimes an hour earlier, just 15-30 minutes a day for a few days before daylight savings ends. That way children will already be adjusted to the time change. This is a very practical tip and one I am already starting to do with my kids to help prepare them for the change.

I am happy to have learned more about these tips and diapers. I am also excited to share that there will be a #PampersSleepChat Twitter Party with Pampers on November 7th at 9pm EST. We will chat about how the end of Daylight Savings Time can affect sleep patterns and get more tips on easing the transition from The Sleep Lady, Kim West!

Prizes will include:

• $50 AMEX Gift Card, $25 Children's Place Gift Card, Pampers product and book by Kim West
• $100 AMEX Gift Card, Pampers Product, series of books by Kim West
• Grand Prize: $500 AMEX Card to purchase sleep items such as a new crib, video monitor, etc!!

**The product for this review was provided by Svan, however all opinions are my own.

No matter if it's a short trip to run errands and go out to eat, or a vacation across the country...there's a lot of time and thought put into everything we need to take when leaving the house with three little ones. With everything from spare clothes, wipes, a potty, stroller and other gear, I'm always looking for ways to make our time away from home easier and more convenient. That's why I was excited when introduced to the Totseat from Svan!

Svan's philosophy is when it comes to life with children, parents should not have to compromise. From getting started with newborns, to the growth and development of toddlers - parents should enjoy products that are stylish, functional and safe. Svan's smart, contemporary designs make caring for children easier.

I am a big fan of the high quality products Svan offers, and was thrilled to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review the Totseat! 

Features/Benefits:

• 3 adjustable height settings to fit almost every chair
• 2 unique options to secure to chair
• fastens securely with quick clip (no knots)
• Lightweight and portable (storage bag included)

When the Totseat arrived, I was in love with the design and bright colors right away. Not only is it modern, but the bright colors are appealing to my kids. It's much easier to get them to want to sit when they get to sit in something that they think is fun and interesting! The fabric was also impressive. It's durable and something that washes easily. 

Of course, I was most curious how well the Totseat would work and how easy it would be to get into place. Thankfully Svan had the busy parent in mind and made it a piece of cake!

This easy to use seat is designed to safely anchor a little one in an adult chair when there is no high chair available. It's design can easily be adapted to fit a variety of adult chairs. It fastens high across the back of the chair and features a 3 point adjustable safety harness for comfort and safety for my kids. There's even a cummerbund included for use with open-back chairs to provide additional support. 

It took only a minute to get it in place on the chair and ready for my child to use. I love when products are quick and easy! 

The Totseat is nice for at home, but is perfect for when we're on the go! It weighs mere ounces and easily folds in a diaper bag, purse or tote. It also comes with a storage bag which makes it even more handy to store and take along with us!

I have truly enjoyed the Totseat and think of it as an essential item for parents, especially those on the go. It eliminates the need to find a high chair when away from home. It's perfect for my youngest with a suggested age of 8 months-30 months. I would definitely recommend this product to other parents and think it would make a fantastic gift idea for a new parent in your life this year!

Buy It: Available in a range of 6 stylish patterns including Alphabet, Apple, Bramble, Chocolate Chip, Coffee Bean and Tapas, the Totseat has a recommended retail of $35.  You can learn more about the Totseat and purchase at Svan.com and Buy Buy Baby.
