Eliminate Fights with Your Kid w/this Router Controls all Devices, WIN IT (Bellyitch’s Fave Thing $99)

Posted on December 18, 2016

The last and final item in our Bellyitch’s Favorite Things Giveaway is a router and app to help parents monitor their children’s devices.

If you are planning to get your child a new screen – tablet, phone, gaming system, laptop or computer- for Christmas, you could eliminate the need to be nagging them to turn off their device but using KoalaSafe, a wireless router which is its own network that can schedule a time to turn off the devices, thus turning the internet off.

The Australia-based company recently announced their partnership with curbi, an app which regulates screen time on handheld devices outside the home.

KoalaSafe Family Friendly Router with Parental Controls to easily protect and manage their screen time all year long – at home and on the road.

It has a family-friendly WIFI access point that’s easy to use. Through a simple smartphone interface, parents can set time-limits, site blocking and monitoring of youngsters’ mobile devices, laptops, PlayStations and more, which are connected through KoalaSafe.

Then when a child heads outside to school or a friend’s place, curbi takes over the care with content filtering and app blocking. With just a couple of clicks parent can lock apps, block inappropriate sites and limit screen time.

Together KoalaSafe and curbi are simple to use, giving parents total control over the content their children access from smartphones and tablets at home and on the road. Parents can:

Monitor, control and set limits for use inside or outside of the home
Get detailed information about what kids are doing when connected
Stop offline apps from being used

We Love love these parings and lucky for one Bellyitch reader, they’ll get to get their very own device retail value of $99! Enter below but you only have a few hours!

Your Child will be Amazed Seeing Her Name in a Personalized Story Book; Win It (Bellyitch’s Fave Things $34.98)

Posted on December 18, 2016

Next up on our list of favorite items is a gift that would certainly surprise and put a smile on the face on any child that receives it!

Put Me In The Story is an innovative children’s platform that takes nationally bestselling children’s picture books by celebrated and award-winning authors, and integrates personalization—creating personalized books that make your child the star of beloved children’s stories.

This is a great trend in storybooks because it brings the experience of reading a book even more alive for a child. I think it creates a love of reading and getting lost in a good book if a child can see his or her name in it and can further imagine herself or himself as the characters in the book.

With Put Me In The Story, authors are allowing readers to personalize their copyrighted, bestselling books to create the ultimate gift.

The guys at Put Me In The Story will gift one fortunate Bellyitch reader with their own book, “Ginger, Can you Help an Elf“, one of the newest titles, which would be PERFECT for the holidays!

Enter below thru midnight!

This Military-Grade Cover Will Protect Your iPhone; WIN IT (Bellyitch’s Fave Things $59.99)

Posted on December 18, 2016

We are extending the Bellyitch’s Favorite Things Giveaway for ONE MORE Day to squeeze in the last three products.

I am loving NewerTech NuGuard KXs Case for iPhone 7, 6 & 6s and Screen Protector for iPhone/iPad:

The KX case uses state-of-the-art military-grade XOrbing Gel Technology to absorb and evenly distribute kinetic energy. This revolutionary technology is engineered into a one-piece design that features a hard outer shell integrated with a soft interior core, providing protection and style at a price you’d pay for a regular case. Incredibly thin at ½”, it protects your iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and other iPhones against accidental drops, impacts, and scratches, while still easily fitting in your pocket.

Love it! I do not go anywhere without this level of protection for my digital devices. I’ve had too many cracked screens to go out unprotected! This case sounds like it would do the trick for insulating your device from all damages and bumps and bruises.

The case retails for up to $59.99, depending on the device but today you can win your very own by entering the contest below:

This Gamesir Controller turns your Android Phone into a Joystick, WIN IT (Bellyitch Fave Thing)

Posted on December 16, 2016

We are in day 4 of the Bellyitch’s Favorite Things annual holiday giveaway!

Today, we’re exploring a gamer’s wishlist item: an awesome game controller that can be used on the PC or an android phone and is compatible with many PC based games currently on the market!

My 14-year old son is a major gamer. In fact, he plans to build his own computer so he can game with speed and ease. Ordinarily, I’d frown on that because he should be focusing on his academics but the geek in me is excited over the idea of the boy building his own desktop from the ground up.

Anyway…I digress.

Until that happens, this Gamesir Gamepad multi-platform bluetooth portable game controller that I became aware of recently is perfect! Apparently, it allows for the real gaming experience from his android device and a desktop.

All of the Gamesir controllers have an ergonomic rubberized handle which is good for getting a good grip and it vibrates to coincide with active movement in the game. To connect, use Bluetooth to pair your phone with the controller, then plug into your phone and go! They come with an LED light so the user can see the controls when gaming in dark rooms like basements. The makers claim 30+ hours of battery life in their latest controller, the M2, before needing to be recharged and to be supported by a number of existing games on the market.

I have NOT tested out this controller or any of them yet so I cannot vouch for any of the claims by the manufactureres, but there have been plenty of reviews you can find here for all their controllers.

The makers, GameSir are in Hong Kong and since being founded, they have grown and branded out and now service more than two million users worldwide including in China, Canada, Japan, India, Brazil, Argentina, the UK and France as well as America so the contest to get this controller is international! Worldwide baby! Enter Below to win an earlier generation GameSir G3s:

They get us and that is why The Shower Sidekick (retails: $29.99) is one of Bellyitch’s Favorite Things of 2016. You can order yours here Of you can win one as part of our contest here:

And the first product is this gorgeous baby carrier by LÍLLÉbaby®.

This carrier can be worn in 6 different says from infancy until baby is a toddler. It is based on Scandinavian design principals— with comfort and style in mind, and it features durable, high quality fabric and materials and is in the under $100 category.

This award-winning brand focuses on attachment parenting families that love to babywear and comes in 8 modern prints (Black with Circle of Love, Charcoal with Seahorses, Navy with Seven Seas, Stone with Boardwalk, Turquoise with Lily Pond, Stone, Stone with Anchors, and Stone with Park Place) and 7 seasonal prints (Black with Circle of Love, Navy with Seven Seas, Stone with Boardwalk, Stone, Stone with Donut, Stone with Park Place, and Stone with Fall in Fern).

We reviewed one of the carriers and discovered it was relatively easy to use the 3-way straps. They offer limit-less adjustability: carrying straps adjust in two directions in addition to the Perfect Fit Adjusters (PFAs) on the front of the carrier. The adjusters allow the wearer to find a truly customized fit and provide easy access for breastfeeding on the go.

The best thing about having a carrier is that one can shop, go to the grocers or a walk for exercise with baby in tow.

We loved that the carrier was sturdy and featured a signature LÍLLÉbaby cargo and hood pockets for storage. An attachable all-weather hood made from soft, breathable luxury mesh can be added. It provides added comfort and safety for baby during windy or cold days. The mesh is great for warmer temperatures.
