The Best Products of 2017 Part 24 + Giveaway

Halo Sleepsack and Swaddle

1. HALO SleepSack and Swaddle

Our top three baby products for both of our kids are as follows: a pacifier, a Rock 'N Play and HALO Swaddles and SleepSacks. Adalyn wore a swaddle for 6 months and then wore a sleepsack until she was almost 2. Oliver is currently in the swaddles but is transitioning to being swaddled with his arms out since he likes to suck on two of his fingers to pacify him when his pacifier falls out.

Halo Sleepsack and Swaddle
When a baby is first born, they often like to be swaddled because they feel safe and content this way. We do not go on an overnight trip without at least a couple of these on hand! They are excellent quality and we have some that have lasted us through both kids and are still in good shape. It is easy to swaddle- swaddle blankets never worked for us because both of our kids busted right out of them.

Halo Sleepsack and Swaddle
I love the message that HALO sends that "back is best" to remind parents to put their kids to bed on their backs. Safety is number one when it comes to taking care of a baby. We love these swaddles and sleepsacks so much for safe sleep and also for helping baby sleep. I know that when you are a tired parent, you will do anything to get baby to sleep and these have always been our saving grace. If you are registering for your baby shower or need to figure out something to help your baby sleep, honestly, try one of these! They are the best. We have tried many brands (sent them for reviews, gifts, etc.) and HALO comes out #1 by far every time.

Another review of my favorite subscription service! Adalyn and I had fun sharing her first fruit rollup with the Welch's Fruit Rolls! They are a berry flavor and a fun treat. We like pasta chips and have had these before. They are good with hummus. The Nature's Bakery fig bar was a great on-the-go snack for Adalyn and the Perky Jerky was a great snack for Troy. I like traveling with nut butter and this Nuttzo 2go is perfect for breakfast or snack outside of the home. I look forward to trying the Sharwood's sauce for a quick Indian meal at home and the Hummustir will be great for an evening snack.

You guys! Dried fruit is one of my favorite things to eat in the world. Did you know that when I was 2, all I wanted from Santa Claus for Christmas was prunes and milk? Well, things haven't changed that much! I still love dried fruit so much. My favorite kinds of dried fruit are: plums, peaches, apricots, pears, nectarines, mango and dried cherries. I have loved them my whole life. I used to go to the bulk food store with my grandma and pick them out.

Today, I want to share with you my very favorite brand of dried fruit: Bella Viva Orchards. Is is so fresh and beautiful. What makes this dried fruit different from other brands is that most of the fruits that I chose have no added sugars. Just delicious dried fruits. Their tangy apricots are the best- so much different from dried apricots in a store! I also love the chewy and sweet dried pears. I would eat a bunch of this every single day if I could.
