About Boba

(As from their website)


“Boba designs thoughtfully-crafted products for active parents who want the time and freedom to create a real and caring bond with their child, while living life to the fullest. We care deeply about what we do, and our customers’ happiness is our highest motivation as a company. We care. Caring for others is at the center of everything we do. We started Boba because we care about children, and we extend that care to our customers every day through unrivaled quality products and outstanding customer support. Our products are designed, with both children and parents in mind. Less is more. More stuff is not the answer. Parents know that the difference between happiness and frustration is having what you need, when you need it. Boba makes products that parents covet. It’s not the quantity of products that matters, but having the highest quality baby wearing products that meet your needs as well as those of your child. Freedom together. Life with your child is the greatest life there is. The conundrum for many parents is this: how do you have a deep, fulfilling relationship with your child while living your own balanced life? Boba solves this problem by giving you the freedom to be spontaneous and alive, all while giving your child the best gift you have to give – you. Our baby carrier and baby wrap options provide loving parents with a means with which to care for their children while remaining active at both work and play.”

I (Mommy’s Obsessions) am a proud ambassador for the fabulous company, Boba and I have been blessed with the opportunity to try out many of their carriers including the Boba 3G, Boba Air, and their newest, Boba 4G. When I was given the opportunity to check out the Boba Wrap I was ecstatic! I had never used a wrap with Little Mister so I was curious as to what this whole wrap thing was about! When the wrap arrived the first thing that I noticed and admired was the coziness and quality of fabric used for the wrap itself. Made out of a high quality knit and woven with a hint of spandex, the Boba Wrap makes baby wearing your infant not only easy, but extremely comfortable! -Alex

Giveaway: Sophie la Girafe Plush & Teether Set Giveaway, 7/27-8/10

Welcome to the Sophie la Girafe Plush + Teether Set Giveaway!
Sponsored by Sophie la Girafe

My son had the regular teething Sophie, and to be honest…it wasn’t his favorite teether. He loved to squish it and hear the squeak more than he liked to chew on it! But many of our friends and family’s little ones LOVE the teething Sophie. I just met a baby girl last week who loves her Sophie. So I’d say it’s definitely worth it to try one with your baby. Teething is a rough time for most families! I’m excited about today’s giveaway. I’m working with the blog Mommy’s Obsessions. Keep reading to learn more about Sophie and for the giveaway. -Elisebet

Mommy’s Obsessions has teamed up with Sophie la Girafe to introduce you to the wonderful Sophie teether and plush rattle!

Sophie la Girafe is a teether that is widely known through the parenting community for being not only one of the cutest teethers around, but in our opinion, one of the best!

When Little Mister was a baby, we received a Sophie la Girafe as a baby shower gift and I immediately fell in love with her! Although my son never favored her as a teether, the more he grew the more he loved to play with her. Sophie is made from a soft natural rubber and has a fun little “squeak” to her when she is squished or gnawed on. For Little Boy, I knew that a new Sophie was a must since Little Mister still loves his (he sleeps with her every night!), and I was delighted to see that Sophie now had an equally as adorable friend, the plush rattle!

To Purchase: You can find Sophie la Girafe at various retailers across the country including Buy Buy Baby, Target, Amazon, Babies R Us, and more! Sophie’s price may vary retailer to retailer but she ranges around $20. This fabulous Sophie la Girafe plush set ranges between $35-$40 at various retailers.

To Win: Mommy’s Obsessions & Sophie la Girafe want to give one lucky winner a Plush + Teether Set!

Review: Seventh Generation Diapers (#FreeYourBaby & win free diapers!) @seventhgen

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, especially since its conception, then you know I cloth diaper my son. We had been cloth diapering full time, but this spring things have changed a bit. First, I decided to use disposable diapers for all trips (it’s just much, much easier to use disposables when you’re traveling), and then last month poor Little J had a terrible diaper rash from being on medication and having a wonky stomach.

I do like the natural diaper rash solutions, but none of them seem to work as well for him as zinc oxide…which can stain or damage cloth diapers. So if Little J has a rash, I reach for the disposables! How convenient is it that we received a box of Seventh Generation Diapers to review the same month he was exclusively wearing disposables?

 Seventh Generation #FreeYourBaby Diaper Review

Seventh Generation is the first FSC® certified diaper made in the US, and I think that’s pretty awesome! What that means is the Forest Stewardship Council has recognized the environmental efforts Seventh Generation has made while making these diapers to “encourage healthy forest growth,” “prevent loss of natural forest cover,” and more, including transparency in their forest management procedures.

Seventh Generation Diapers are unbleached (no chlorine-processing), as well as free of fragrances, inks, and petroleum-based lotions. Their Free and Clear wipes are hypoallergenic, as well as free of synthetic fragrances, dyes, parabens, and phthalates. Little J’s skin is much more sensitive than mine, and I’m happy knowing that I’m putting him in a diaper that won’t aggravate his skin.

The wipes are quite thick, and I’m pleased with how well they clean Little J. I don’t have to use as many wipes as I do with other brands. The diapers fit him well. Little J is 2-years-old and 24 pounds in these photos. He’s wearing size/stage 4. He doesn’t have any problems with the diaper leaking overnight, but I should mention that Little J has never been a “heavy wetter.” We’ve never experienced those types of leaks. My favorite thing about these diapers is the lack of that heavy, unnatural perfume smell you get with other brands.

You can find out more about Seventh Generation and their products at seventhgeneration.com, but you’ll also find the diapers in many online and brick/mortar stores.

Right now Seventh Generation is having a pretty cool contest on Instagram! See details below:
