New York Baby Show 2018 Favorites! #NYBSBloggerLounge

*This is a sponsored post.  All opinions are a 100% my own.

Being a parent has been the most rewarding, amazing and absolutely one of the most difficult parts of my life.  There's nothing like having children that will let you know how time is flying by.  One of the good and fun part of parenting is the fun stages your children go through, and the fun items that are out there for you and your child/ren.  It's one of the reasons why I love attending the New York Baby Show each year, there's always something new to check out and it is truly ever-changing.  I was excited to see so many new items out on the market available for parents and those expecting as well.  I've done the difficult task of narrowing down my top picks from the show to three, items that I truly think parents will love.

Who doesn't like swings?!  This Super Duper Spinner is a must-have for all families!  It is absolutely fun for kids but can hold up to 650 lbs, so parents can enjoy being a child too.  The Super Duper Spinner can comfortably sit up to four, I tried with my three kids during a previous event!  As you can see in the picture above, everyone is sitting comfortably, and super happy trying it out.  It is made with durable materials, and the Super Duper Spinner swings are built to withstand the elements.

Must Have for 3 Year Olds - The Razor Jr - t3 Scooter

*Item/s were received for the purpose of review.  All opinions are a 100% my own.

I'm a huge fan of Razor scooters, both my older kids started with Razor scooters and graduated to the older kid versions with time.  My youngest just turned 3, and was recently borrowing his sister's old Razor scooter which was pink.  My daughter's first scooter was the Razor Jr Lil' Pop Scooter, a really fun scooter with lights!  My son was so excited and ready for his own scooter, he literally took off with the Razor Jr t3 Scooter right away at the park.  Now everywhere we go, he is on his scooter.  When my children and I go anywhere together, I'm the only one that walks - they scoot!  When I bought my son his first scooter many years ago and realized the quality of Razor scooters, there's no wonder they are known for their scooters.

Learning Tool + Fun Toy - Singing Machine Wise Ol' Owl Blackboard Calculator

*Item/s were received for the purpose of review.  All opinions are a 100% my own.  

The way to get children learning is without them knowing about it.  I've learned as a mom to 3, every child learns differently but one thing they've all had in common is that they learn best through play.  Our newest learning tool that has been fun for all ages is the Singing Machine Wise Ol' Owl Blackboard Calculator.  It's great for learning your numbers, beginner math, and even different languages.  My oldest often checks his work after a math problem and always misplaces his calculator - there's no misplacing the owl.  It looks like a toy, so my two youngest fight for their turn and learn!  It's a large calculator that's the perfect homework helper for young children.

Squishy, Stretchy Fun You've Got to Check Out #WubbleFulla Marbles & Slime

*This is a sponsored post.  All opinions are a 100% my own.

Watch out for these awesome new additions to the Wubble Ball line!  Wubble Fulla can be found at Target, Toys R Us, and Walgreens.  They are available in Marbles, and Slime!  Both available in a "huge", "large" and "tiny" version.  It is addictive fun to play with on your own and with friends.  As much as my kids loved it, my husband and I liked it as much.  It was almost therapeutic how relaxing it is to squish and squash them.

Stress and Anxiety Relief with the TouchPoints Solution

TouchPoints™ are non-invasive lifestyle wear ables that use patent-pending neuro-scientific technology to relieve stress by over 70% in as few as 30 seconds.  When I was first introduced to TouchPoints, I was asked to think of something that troubles me and stresses me out.  I happened to be having a rough day so it was easy for me to go to a tough place in my mind right away, I was almost teary eyed right away because of my thoughts.  Then a representative of the product asked me to hold onto the TouchPoints, and I grabbed them - held them in my hands.  Suddenly, I really did feel better.  I remembered what was on my mind but the knot in my chest disappeared.  I soon found out that the reps weren't reps and that they were actually the founders of The TouchPoint Solution.  It was founded by Neuropsychologist Dr. Amy Serin and executive and child advocate Vicki Mayo.  They had a mission to help those who deal with anxiety and stress.

The Floating Comfort™ Fiberfill Pillow with Customizable Water Base

What stood out to me the most about this pillow is that it has a water base, you actually fill it with water to customize your comfort level.  The feel of the COMBEDLoft Fiber is super soft and inviting, the multilayers work together to bring you proven and tested comfort that you expect from a pillow.  The multilayers it includes is the COMBEDLoft Fiber, thermal insulator that surrounds the water layer, and the exclusive adjustable aqua support pouch that provides responsible support while you sleep.  If you are feeling skeptical the pillow comes with a 60-day satisfaction guarantee or your money back.  Also a 10-year warranty agains manufacturing defects.  Clinical study of the Waterbase pillow has been conducted at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to rate this pillow as one of the best for falling asleep quickly, overall sleep quality, reduction of neck pain and more!

Sands Alive, Play Dirt, and Floof by Play Visions - Fun for All ages - Gift Ideas

These round up of toys from Play Visions are great for all year round play, but greatly appreciated during the cold seasons when kids can't always play outside.  Bring in the Play Dirt so kids don't need to be in their backyard or park to have fun with "dirt".  FLOOF is fun on snow days, sometimes it is too cold and not fun to take kids out to play in the snow, and FLOOF is a great fun alternative.  Wish you were on the beach playing in the sand with your children?  Sands Alive! will help solve that problem.  What is great about all of these items is that it really is hours of fun, relaxing for adults if you do join in with your children, and they are made with a fun formula that makes it easy to clean up after.
