uberFAMILY Offers Nabi Tablets
I have always been a huge fan of uberFAMILY and now uberFAMILY in the Washington DC area just got even better! In addition to offering car seats for our little ones, UberFAMILY will be equipped with Fuhu’s nabi 2 tablets. No more lugging around the kids tablets or offering up your smart phone. Children can access “console-quality” games and entertainment that lends a hand “developing fine motor skills and encouraging independent play.”
Last week Ella, Logan and I had an opportunity to test the nabi 2 tablet during a round-trip from Arlington to Bethesda. For the first time in ages, I was able to actually sit back and enjoy the ride while Ella and Logan enjoyed playing educational games on the new nabi 2 tablet.
uberFAMILY is the only way my family taxis, especially to and from the airport. It is the best car transportation service available in the DC area. I appreciate the simplicity. You can request a safe, reliable, affordable ride within minutes from the Uber App. For first time users of uberFAMILY, sign up with the promo code NABITABLET for a free ride up to $20.
{Disclosure: I was given Uber credit as a token of appreciation for testing their new service.}
The Honest Company Launches a New Feeding Line
The Honest Company is an innovator in the baby industry with its commitment to healthy, eco-friendly products for babies and families. Their trendy diaper designs are effective and aesthetically pleasing. And the auto-shipment bundle subscription adds an element of convenience and efficiency that keep busy moms organized. I absolutely love this brand.
The Honest Company just launched its feeding line including: Organic Premium Formula “carefully modeled after breast milk, nutritionally complete, easy to digest, and meticulously blended using ingredients sourced from trusted organic farms; ‘Honestly Free’ of gluten, GMOs, hexane-extracted DHA, and steroids.”
Honest’s new feeding line also includes a liquid-based fish oil baby DHA, which the company is marketing separately instead of adding to the formula because the synthetic DHA available to the powdered formula market didn’t meet the company’s purity standards. “The FDA is very rigorous, but in this one key category, DHA, I felt there wasn’t the choice that I needed,” says Christopher Gavigan, co-founder of The Honest Company. “So we are offering a pure version as an extra add-on.” For breastfeeding parents, the product line includes a lactation supplement for moms to stimulate breast milk production, as well as aids like a nursing pillow and coverup includes products to support breast feeding as well as the new line created around the organic formula.
The Honest Company has a philosophy that I completely embrace:
No breast versus bottle, no right or wrong: We believe how parents choose to feed their babies is a personal process based on the needs of their families….We’re aware that breast is best, but we also understand that families may choose or require other options. No parent should have to feel guilty for choosing to feed her or his baby one way or another. Parents have been nourishing their children in all kinds of ways since the beginning of time as we know it. With Honest Feeding, The Honest Company hopes to represent the next step in the evolution of nourishment as we help you lay the foundation for a safe, healthy and happy future.
The entire collection includes Nipple Balm, Lactation Plus Vitamins and Nursing Cover + Scarf for breastfeeding moms as well as Nursing Pillow, Formula Dispenser, 5 oz. Bottles and 8 oz. Bottles and Natural Feeding Peristaltic Nipples.

Faith’s Baby Shower
When my friend Faith’s best friends and family reached out to me to help plan her baby shower, I knew I wanted to hire professional photographer TC Coffey of Big Bash Photo to cover her special day.
TC Coffey was a professional party event planner when a friend of hers realized that she “had an eye for photography and suggested that TC explore the idea of becoming a professional photographer. TC began her professional photography business almost 10 years ago after taking courses in various mediums, particularly film. Her passion stems from an enormous interest in documenting memories from a family history perspective.
Whether you have a baby shower, kid’s birthday party, holiday party or playmate, I recommend Big Bash Photo to cover your event. For more information, visit www.bigbashphoto.com.
