Travelin' Toddler Gift Guide Day 6: Dress that Tot to Travel w/ RockMe + a #Giveaway

Disclosure: I have received this product in exchange for an honest review.  The opinions are 100% my own and may differ from yours.

I know when I am getting ready to go on a big trip I always think about what I am going to wear while traveling.  I want comfort and functionality and most of the time I end up looking like a slob.  Don't do that to your little one.  They can travel in style with Rock Me's great collection of essential wardrobe items for that Tot on-the-go.

When I am thinking about how to dress Nugget, I want something that will: 1. Keep him warm, 2. Be easy to change a diaper in 3. Be comfortable for him.  I prefer two piece outfits because they look best but sometimes pants and an active baby can be a real struggle.  There is also that issue of when you pick up your baby, their back and stomach show in two piece outfits.

Rock Me has created a BRILLIANT solution to this problem and basically made the ideal travel outfit for little ones.  Rock Me outfits have no snap, zippers or buttons and have all the benefits of a one piece with the look and style of a two piece. They are made of the softest cotton. Better yet, these one-piece separates are designed, created and manufactured in the USA.

So what makes Rock Me so special?  The Rock Me "seperates" are only open in the back.  The pants are connected to the top with a seperate piece of fabric that is different than the shirt.  This is how they made a one-piece that still looks like a two piece.  Hard to explain, but the video shows you how it works.

The sizing is generous.  Nugget typically wears a 12 or 18 months in Carters.  He has room to grow in the 9-12 month Rock Me.   He is about 30 inches tall and 22lbs.  Rock Me makes a great gift for your little traveler and gives the parent a break from the constant reinserting of the legs in the leg holes (yes, this outfit stops that!)

You are able to purchase Rock Me in select stores or on their website. They would love for you to sign up for their newsletter and check them out on Facebook.  We are giving away a One Piece wonder for the holidays, as well.

Travelin' Toddler Gift Guide Day 1: Little Pim and Hugg-A-Planet Giveaway

Disclosure: I received this product in exchange for my honest review.  The opinions are 100% my own and may differ from yours.

To kick off the Travelin' Toddler Gift Guide, I thought we should start with a great gift that would prepare your little one for travel anywhere and everywhere.  If you just can't wait for all the giveaways to go live, check out the rest of the gift guide here.  Little Pim Language videos are just what you need to give your child the gift of a second language.  

Children have the ability to pick up multiple languages much easier than that of adults.  In our household, Nugget is spoken to in Arabic during the day by his dad and English at night while I am home.  I am not sure how his language will evolve over time but I want to make every effort to promote his learning of both languages.  With Little Pim, we are able to watch videos that are not only helping Nugget learn but also teaching me the language he will speak with his dad.  The videos are geared around the Entertainment Immersion Method® and are separated into 5 minute segments to keep the attention of young children.  The animation or actors are helping you along the way to make learning the language easier.

You are able to choose to run the DVDs in several ways to help with the learning process.  We started with subtitles and then removed them later as we got more familiar.  What I like about Little Pim, that is different than other language learning programs I have tried is that they teach you relevant phrases.  You won't be learning about elephants jumping over pink cars here.  Where is the banana? There is the banana. Are you hungry? Let's eat a banana.  Very simple, but you are still formulating sentences.

If you are stopping at Toys R' Us on your holiday shopping, which I bet you are, Little Pim Discovery sets are available in store.  The have French, Chinese and Spanish available!

With Little Pim you will be able to learn about 360 words and phrases which gives you a great start on becoming familiar with that language.  Along with the DVDs, you can add in books, flashcards and CDs to keep the learning going where ever you may be.

Paired with the Little Pim Language DVDs is a Hugg-a-Planet Pocket Earth.  These two items would make a great gift for your little traveler.  You can teach them a new language and show them all the countries where that language is spoken.  The Hugg-a-Planet Earth is a soft globe that doubles as an educational toy and a great travel companion.  It has a hidden pocket that will hold anything small you would want in reach while traveling.   It is perfect for a plane ride to keep children occupied during play time and comfy during nap time.  

Nugget at 8 months loves to roll the Earth back and forth because it is light and soft.  Children as young as 2 are able to start learning geography!  Show them where you are traveling and ask them to recall the information.  Keep your Hugg-a-Planet on hand to reference places in the news with your children.  All around it is a great toy and gift for anyone!
