Choopie Cityhooks: a product review & a giveaway

Shortly before I had Georgia Kate I was contacted by a representative from Choopie to review one of their great baby products. I wasn't on their website for even five minutes before I decided on the Cityhooks. I can never seem to cram everything it takes for two kids into that teeny tiny basket under the stroller. Why aren't those things bigger?! Don't stroller makers know that moms have giant diaper bags, even bigger mom purses, coats, blankets and stuffed animals to carry everywhere we go?!

Enter the Cityhook
With easy to attach velcro straps, hooks that swivel a full 360 degrees, and no clips to open, the Cityhook is the perfect stroller accessory. Ideal for diaper bags, purses, shopping bags and more, these multipurpose clips work on everything from strollers to wheelchairs and more.
I made an quick video to show you just how easy these are to use.

When Luke was a baby I wanted any and every baby gadget I could find. By the time he was a few months old I quickly realized that a lot of baby gadgets and gear fall out of the "useful" category and into the "clutter" pile. There are a few baby items that are worth their weight in gold (ahem the playmat, rock and play & white noise machines). I can say with 100% confidence that I would add Cityhooks to that list. I keep both Cityhooks permanently attached to the bar of my double stroller so that I can now carry everything for both of my babies AND still have space in the basket underneath.

And you know what's even better?
The fact that one of you lucky readers can score a pair of Cityhooks for free!

That's right- it's giveaway time! 
To enter to win a pair of Cityhooks simply leave a comment telling me how you would use yours.
That's it! I'll choose a winner a week from today.

*I was compensated with a complimentary set of Cityhooks in exchange for a product review. 
The opinions expressed here are entirely my own.*

Daddy snuggles

Nobody gets Luke tickled like Daddy. When John goes in for his snuggles, Luke squeals with delight and my heart melts to pieces. I'm so blessed to call these two "my boys."

Luke-isms

Luke always crosses his feet when he's sitting. Whether it's in his high chair, in his car seat or just on the floor with a book, our little man always crosses his feet at the ankles. Another Luke-ism I never want to forget!

(I'm sure you're wondering what's going on in the photo above. I decided to feed Luke his cereal in an old ice cube tray, just for fun. Luke loved it! And I'm excited to say his fine motor skills are perfect.)

dizzy boy

Luke loves to make himself dizzy. I don't know where it all started, because John and I have never taught him how to spin in circles. He's never been around kids that do it either, so I guess this is just another Luke-ism!

My little beaver

Luke is teething BIG TIME right now. Nothing is safe from the little toofers of Mister Luke, 
including Nana's pack-n-play!
