Fairfield County Moms Blog is a community (online and off) of women raising kids in Fairfield County. Over the past five years, our readers have gotten to know each one of us through our posts. Each contributor willingly shares their lives through personal mommy experiences, perspectives, and local knowledge. We occasionally get together to talk business and share ideas. Last week we gathered for our fourth annual Favorite Things Party!
Each contributor brought along their number one favorite thing (three of the same item – but possibly different colors, styles, etc.) with a $10 limit. We put our names in four different jars so each of us would go home with three new favorite things (the fourth jar is for deciding the order we got to share!). Sharing our favorite things helps us get to know one another better and discover new products that make our days as mommies and women a little bit easier and a lot more enjoyable.

Inspired Start Allergy-Friendly Food Pouches :: Starting solids with baby can be fun, exciting, and a little bit scary in regards to unknown allergies. Inspired Start is the only baby food designed to introduce 8 common allergens to babies starting at 4 months of age. All pouches are made with organic fruits and non-GMO ingredients. They don’t include cow’s milk since most pediatricians recommend waiting until 1 year of age to have cow’s milk. In it’s place, they’ve included the 9th top food allergen: sesame. The flavor combinations are unique and so delicious! Use the code Fairfield5 for $5 off your first order. 
MAM Perfect Pacifier & Teethers :: We love MAM products because they keep our babies calm and happy. MAM combines technological innovation, medical function, and contemporary design to develop superior baby care products that support a baby’s development from day one. Designed to reduce the risk of misaligned teeth, the MAM Perfect’s nipple is extra thin, super soft and extremely flexible. It is 60% thinner and 4x more flexible than average pacifiers in order to minimize pressure on babies’ developing jaw and reduce the risk of poor positioning of permanent teeth. MAM Perfect pacifiers and MAM Friends Teethers are the best for relaxing babies which gives us moms and dads a piece of mind. 
RXBARS :: RXBARS have no bad stuff, there is no BS! Moms are always on the look out for quick snacks for their kids while on the go. RXBAR keeps things simple with basic ingredients of eggs, dates, and nuts. Their core ingredients are all there for a reason. What you see is what you eat. Plus, kids love them! They make bars for both kids and adults. 
GoSili bibs and placemats :: GoSili designs and manufactures silicone tableware products for the whole family. The excessive use and waste of disposable paper and plastic inspired the GoSili founders to create a modern line incorporating all the practical benefits that silicone has to offer. GoSili products make the basics better by bringing an alternative to plastic, bridging the gap between great design and affordability while improving the way we live! A win-win for all! 
Pic’s Peanut Butter :: All we have to say is…YUM!!! New Zealand-based Pic’s Peanut Butter is made from the finest quality Hi-Oleic peanuts from Australia that are fresh roasted and lovingly squashed. Pic’s then quick seals its peanut butter to preserve freshness and flavor. It is all-natural, gluten and sugar free, and has no additives – simply peanuts and a trace of Kiwi salt (the unsalted version contains 100% peanuts). Pic’s Peanut Butter is also NON GMO verified. There are four varieties offered – Original (Crunchy), Original (Crunchy, no salt), Smooth, and Smooth (no salt) along with Pic’s Peanut Butter Slugs available individually or in packs of six (arriving at retail late summer 2018). 
Anjie + Ash Rho Silicone Teething Necklace :: The unique design of the Rho teething necklace oval beads will catch everyone’s eye, especially your little ones. An exclusive Anjie + Ash design, this stylish necklace will carry you well past your child’s teething phase. Baby bonus: The interesting oval and tube shaped beads will keep little ones interested while teething and breast/bottle feeding. The necklace is made of high quality food-grade silicone {non-toxic!} and has a unique patent-pending magnetic clasp for extra safety and security.
Rise Buddy Baked Rice Snacks :: The kid’s buddy snack to fill up energy for nonstop imagination and learning activities. Rise Buddy is made from wholegrain rice and baked with an exclusive recipe, which is full of benefits from wholegrain rice and flavorful taste that kids (and parents!) will love and enjoy with friends.
