Rhoost and Influential Summit 

Earlier this month we were in sunny southern California for a unique gathering bringing together mom bloggers and brands. And while the weather outside wasn’t so sunny, the atmosphere inside was just dandy!

We connected with some of our favorite brands and met some new ones – Jujube (diaper bags), Crane (humidifiers), Uppababy (strollers), Ergobaby (baby carriers), Mabel’s Labels (durable kids’ labels), Ecopiggy (natural pacifier, nasal aspirator) and b.box (sippy cups and more) among many others!

As a brand, it’s so important to stay connected to moms (and dads) and we met some inspiring parents that are sharing their stories and building parenting communities on social media. Katie Vigos from the empoweredbirthproject, Angela Kim from Mommy Diary®, and Danielle Lucia Schaffer of citygirlgonemom just to name a few.

Valentine’s Day was also right around the corner so we had the perfect opportunity to make use of some custom color Nail Clippers!

New Rhoost Product! The Chirping Bird Door Jamb

As we have mentioned before – most child accidents in the home are preventable. But we haven’t talked much about about the best time to baby proof.  Basically, once your child is crawling you should have baby proofing on your radar.  You do not want to introduce barriers when your baby is most curious.  So you should baby proof early.  It’s also a great way for dad to feel helpful and connected at a time when baby may still be very mommy-focused.

Before starting, it is important to have the best and most up-to-date information regarding home safety.  Here are some of our favorites:

  1. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) Baby Safety Zone – a great place to find information. safety tips, and also information about products that are JPMA certified as safe.
  2. Safe Kids Worldwide, the name says is all. Bottom line – a critical resource for all parents. 
  3. Consumer Reports – yes, of course, the tried and true.  And they have a pretty extensive baby & kids section.

Good luck on your journey!  If you have any questions or advice to lend to this conversation – please leave them below.

A Babyproofing Checklist for the Dangers You Might Not Have Thought About

Babyproofing your homeIf you have a toddler, or even a baby who’s not quite yet walking, but has learned to crawl and to pull herself up on furniture and “cruise” around the room, it’s likely that you spend a fair amount of time each day removing items from her reach, her grasp, or even her mouth.
