Summer Travel Must-Have: My Travel Tray

With school out in summer, many families are hitting the road to visit friends, head to the beach, or travel across America. However, it seems the car always becomes such a mess after said travels, which is why we’re excited to introduce you to My Travel Tray. This made in the USA must-have travel item is any family’s must-have item not only for traveling, but for everyday running around town as well. Read on below to see why every family needs a My Travel Tray – and why it makes a fantastic gift also!

My Travel Tray fits into most standard cupholders and provides a flat surface for snacks, toys, and everyday small items. My Travel Tray was founded by a father who was tired of becoming unfocused while driving, having to hand things to the backseat to his kids. He realized if the kids could have a space to put their own snacks and toys, he would be more focused driving.

My Travel Tray easily fits into your car’s cup holders, car seats, strollers, outdoor chairs and even movie theaters! Make going to the movies with kids a lot cleaner and more organized with their own My Travel Trays. They come in a wide variety of colors, so everyone is sure to find one they love.

No worries if you’re not sure of the size of your cup holder, as My Travel Tray comes with an included cup attachment to help adjust to almost any cup holder. My Travel Tray is 100% Made in USA, and parents never have to worry about snack time, because it is BPA, Phthalate, and PVC Free. Plus, it goes right in the top rack of the dishwasher for super easy clean up! For everyone in your family, from babies to grandparents, the My Travel Tray is a family must-have item to help keep your family clean, organized, and snacking easy on-the-go.

Self-Care for You with Matrescence Skin

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

When it comes to finding time for self-care as moms, it seems as there is not one free second in the day. This is why we highly recommend investing the time into a skincare routine, which is safe and luxurious for your skin. It’s no secret we’re huge fans of Matrescence Skin, for so many reasons, as it is safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding and made with high-quality ingredients to help your skin stay smooth, clear, and bright. Check out some self-care routines and tips from real moms who love Matrescence below. You can learn more about Matrescence in our self-care gift guide, black-owned business gift picks, and baby shower gift guide.

Megan, mom of 3: Self-Care! I always thought I was horrible at it. Then I started watching my daily routine. I get up at 5:45am to shower alone and open a nice bottle of wine at 8pm. ? Not everyday, but this time in my life these are the things I do to take care of myself. One day I’ll add a manicure, facial, can you imagine a massage, etc. to the list. For now just getting to wash my face or showering without a kid standing beside me is HUGE. I’ve been using Matrescence since last fall. When I’m pregnant/nursing it’s so important for me to use a product that is safe for my skin and my baby. Unfortunately I feel like some products labeled as natural don’t work as well but Matrescence is safe and makes my skin really glow.

Sophie, mom of 2: As a mother, self care should be as vital as the coffee you crave first thing. Loving + nurturing yourself is a chain reaction. I’ve learned to put very little time but much effort forth into carving out tiny routines to get it in! Happy full mother equals loving patient parent, wife, daughter, sister… after a very unsuccessful first postpartum experience, I lost myself giving every ounce I had to my baby. I was left years later depleted, exhausted and with a weak immune system. I didn’t have anything to give to anyone else I cared for and definitely not myself. This time round I was well aware of how dark it got and I prepared myself on how to deal with the lack of sleep, the insanity of two kids and trying to work. I make it a priority no matter how hard to find those tiny moments throughout the day to self care; five minutes of uninterrupted me time. This is in the form of my skin care routines, quick meditations in the car, sipping tea looking at the hawks nest in the tree, taking the dog around the block, making rice bowls with homemade dressings, soaking in the bath with candles and listening to podcasts. Once a month I pamper with a massage or facial or manicure. It’s just about pausing and taking a break from life to be present with yourself and listen to what your body needs.

Jean, pregnant with first child: Almost half way there! Let’s talk about self care during pregnancy, or even motherhood. My second trimester has been smooth sailing so far, so my self care routine hasn’t changed much from before pregnancy (epsom salt baths, journaling, meditation, yoga). BUT. There is one thing I need to be way more mindful of throughout this journey to reduce my stress and not go insane. And that is blocking out all the outside noise and looking inward. For some reason, this is the time when people love to give unsolicited advice, and on top of that, there’s so much conflicting information out there about what’s good for the baby and not. Pregnancy is such a different experience for EVERY woman, so this is the time it’s become more important than ever for me to really listen to my body’s needs, and consult the midwives I’m working with who really know my health history and what I’m going through. And that means eating high quality runny yolks, and smoked salmon (because dang, this baby loves them), drinking my matcha every morning, and massaging myself with CBD oil every now and then to reduce my back pain.

Shelly, mama to one with one on the way: Self-care is always a work in progress for me. As a physician, and a mother, I tend to put others needs first. I really struggled with this right after having Mason but have been more and more intentional about it. Sometimes, I forget that it doesn’t take much effort to sneak a little self-care in – and how helpful this tiny slice of time can be for my mood. Some of my favorite ways to practice self-care are: Take a walk outside, read a book, meditate for 10 minutes, take a bath, pamper my skin, turn on some music, declutter (yes – this is self-care for me!), write in a gratitude journal, light a scented candle, watch a sunrise/sunset, get a quick workout in, open all the windows and let the breeze blow through the house.

Rachael, mom to 3: My office is my haven. It is the place I go for a little me time. It is fully stocked with scented candles, essential oils, and chocolate. The walls are covered in inspirational quotes, and family pictures. And this couch is the perfect finishing touch, so sometimes while I am working I may sneak in a nap… I deserve it. My office is my sanctuary.

What’s New on Gugu: July 3, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

I have found a great lineup of products this week. A couple new pieces of technology, which will help with both feeding and sleep are new finds. We also took a look at the newest travel stroller to hit the market. Plus, there are some excellent accessories to help make breastfeeding more efficient.

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Mammaway Freeze It Flat: An innovative way to freeze your breastmilk stash! Using breastmilk storage bags, simply pump your milk, place into the Freeze it Flat, and stick in the freezer. Once frozen, your stored milk will take up significantly less space. Great for working moms who have to pump at the office!

BlueSmart Mia2: A new baby gift for your technologically saavy friend. The BlueSmart Mia2 will automatically record what your baby eats (and for how long) at each feeding. Pairing with an app via Bluetooth, you will no longer have to manually keep track of each feeding. Plus, it is compatible with most baby bottles!

Hatch Baby Rest Plus: One of our favorite sound machine/nightlights has now received an upgrade. Pair with their app to create a truly essential product for sleep that will grow with your little one. Now an audio monitor as well as a digital clock, this is a must have for any nursery.

Larken X Bra: Made of moisture-wicking, ultrasoft fabric, this nursing/pumping bra will be a great addition to your wardrobe. It allows you to pump hands-free without having to undress or change and is comfy enough to keep on all day long. There are also no snaps, zippers, or tags, making it far more comfortable as your size fluctuates.

Bugaboo Ant Travel Stroller: Bugaboo has entered the carry-on travel stroller game! The Ant is the only reversible seat travel stroller on the market and it offers great suspension. It has a height adjustable handle, a near-flat recline for newborns, and an adjustable seat height for taller kids. Available for pre-order now!

Please note that these opinions are 100% my own and I have not received any products in exchange for placement in What’s New on Gugu!

Anjie + Ash Crossbody Parent Bag: Summertime is all about getting outdoors and making memories, and we’re loving the new Parent Bag from Anjie + Ash for all of our travels. The stylish, sleek, unisex design of the Anjie + Ash Crossbody Parent Bag elevates the look of any outfit. If oversized diaper bags aren’t your thing, you’re going to love the compact design of the Anjie + Ash Crossbody Parent Bag; it fits only the essentials, and has room for all of them, including essentials for parents, too! The interior pockets have room for your phone, snacks, wipes, and keys, and even has room for up to 6 diapers and a change of clothes. The exterior pockets are zippered, making it easy to access your cards and cash. The front drink pockets are a must-have for hot summer days, whether for a baby bottle, sippy cup, or a water bottle for you. As baby grows, you can easily adapt this bag to use with toddlers, and eventually, just for you – with its chic and modern design, no one will be the wiser that it’s a diaper bag. We promise. Made in NYC, the Anjie + Ash Crossbody Parent Bag is made of premium black vegan pebbled leather, it’s also water resistant, durable and easy to wipe down (a must have for summer fashion picks), this would make such an ideal baby shower gift, or a perfect treat for yourself!

ergoPouch 0.3TOG Waves Sheeting Sleeping Bag: When it comes to sleeping in summertime, you want to make sure baby is comfortable, which is why we’re such fans of ergoPouch sleeping bags for summer months. ergoPouch Sleeping Bag comes in a range of fabrics and TOG ratings to suit your little one, but today we’re featuring the Waves design from the NEW Nature Collection range, inspired by the Australian landscape. We love how this design is gender neutral, and feels very modern with a classic twist. The ergoPouch Waves Sheeting Sleeping Bag has a 400+ thread count, and features organic cotton on the outside and feels super soft on a baby’s skin. Plus, the unique stretch inserts on the side and shoulders allow baby to move more freely and stay comfortable while they sleep. Ideal for summer, the 0.3 TOG Waves Sheeting Sleep Bag is great for warm weather with temperatures above 75°F. With its gender neutral design for summer fashion and ultimate functionality, the ergoPouch Waves Sheeting Sleeping Bag is ideal for baby showers and new baby gifts.

I Love Milk Surfer Romper from Gabri Isle: We’re swooning over this adorable surfer romper for summer fashion from one of our favorite shops, Gabri Isle. Gabri Isle is an online boutique of curated baby clothes from European female designers. Gabri Isle brings original baby clothes from female-driven brands across Europe to the US. The online boutique makes buying unique, high-quality European designer clothes a reality. Gabri Isle presents a wide range of brands that they have partnered with; we tell you their stories, curate their designs to bring you the best of their work, and support them as they expand to the US market. This Surfer Romper is perfect for warm, sunny days in the garden, or that beach vacation, this surfer romper has a dynamic design that will be the talk of every conversation and perfect for taking photos of your little one. The romper has an invisible zipper on the crotch, which makes for easy diaper changes and is made of the highest quality cotton – Oeko-Tex Standard 100 (no harsh substances), so it is safe and soft for your little surfer kiddo.

This week we are featuring a number of products from brands we love! A couple of these items will be great for summer activities and travel. A couple others promote independence for our little ones. There’s also an excellent budget-friendly convertible stroller to check out!

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Copper Pearl – Asher: The newest addition to one of our favorite lines. Asher, a beautiful heather gray is the perfect gender neutral color, and comes in a multi-use cover, top knot hat, and knit swaddle blanket. Copper Pearl’s line never ceases to amaze us with it’s buttery soft fabric. These are a must-have for baby’s arrival!

Bblüv Arenä: Perfect for summer trips to the beach with babe in tow, the Arenä will bring the fun to you! Great for keeping baby cool on a hot day, this allows them to safely splash around in a pop up beach pool. Plus, it sets up instantly and comes with it’s own ‘filling pail’ and travel case!

Skip Hop 2-in-1 Infant Seat: Skip Hop has created an adorable 2-in-1 infant seat that easily transforms from play time to snack time. Giving baby a great amount of support, this seat gives baby a new perspective on the world! Plus, it’s easy to clean in the washing machine!

Evenflo Gold Pivot Xpand: This budget friendly convertible stroller offers a great push and easy-to-use modular system. Converting to a double without any extra adapters, this stroller offers 22 configurations and can be purchased as a travel system. Plus it’s sleek and can go head-to-head with far more expensive options on the market!

Grabease Double Sided Toothbrush: Created to make this daily routine easier, the Grabease Toothbrush truly gives babes 6 months – 4 years the ability to independently brush. Simply place the Grabease Toothbrush in your little one’s hands and watch them quickly say ‘bye bye’ to plaque! Plus we love Grabease’s commitment to giving back. With each toothbrush purchase, they will not only give back but also help provide operations to children with cleft palates. ‘Grab’ one for your kiddo today!

Mission Critical S.01 Carrier – The Ultimate Dad Gift

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Father’s Day is just around the corner and we have identified the ultimate gift for any new dad in your life – the Mission Critical S.01 Carrier. Mission Critical was founded by a father who wanted to inspired other dads to adventure into the world with their little one. They believe that it is the act of exploring the world together which helps strengthen the bond between a father and child; there will be long days ahead, but going with your fatherly instinct and heading into nature is a fantastic way to spend time and get to know your baby, and know yourself as a dad.

The Mission Critical S.01 Baby Carrier was designed with this thought process in place. The S.01 Carrier is build technically and tough from the ground up specifically for dads; designed for dad’s comfort, as well as baby’s, the carrier fits more like a vest, which allows full mobility and safety with easy adjustments using a simple four-step process. The carrier also features a removable washable liner, for all of life’s messier days.

For sunny days, this military inspired carrier features a sunshade which stashes away in the front zip pocket and quickly snaps into place to protect your baby or help them nap. And, don’t worry about those super hot days, as the Mission Critical S.01 Carrier has breathable air mesh lining on the chest and back to keep dad cool and comfortable. But, the coolest part about the Mission Critical S.01 Carrier is that it is fully customizable so you can easily attach accessories on the front and back of the carrier to keep essentials close by. Help a new dad feel more confident on their fatherhood journey this Father’s Day and gift them a Mission Critical S.01 Carrier (don’t forget the accessories!) for all of life’s little and big adventures with their little one.

It seems as though summer has finally arrived and we can’t wait to head outside and play! We rounded up some of our favorite gift guide picks for enjoying the outdoors with your family this summer. Check them out below and let us know what you bring with you on your outdoor adventures.

Made Good Foods: Summertime is all about the on-the-go snacks; whether you’re hanging poolside, shuffling kids to swim lessons, or simply reading your favorite magazine on the front steps, it’s important to have yummy and healthy snacks ready at all times. We’re big fans of MadeGood Foods, especially their MadeGood Vanilla Crispy Squares, which are reminiscent of the childhood favorite rice crispy treats. But, these MadeGood Vanilla Crispy Squares are allergen-free and safe for school, which means you can use them for end of the year parties and summer pool parties. Plus, they are also gluten-free, certified vegan, organic, Non-GMO, kosher and contain nutrients from vegetables such as carrots, shiitake, mushrooms, beets, broccoli. Can’t get much healthier than that in a delicious snack! We know both you and the kids will devour these MadeGood treats all summer long. Pack them for summer camp, bring them camping, have one in the pool – we know you’ll snack happy!

Mission Critical S.02 Baby Carrier: Getting outside and heading on adventures is so much easier when you can babywear – one of the questions we get a lot at Gugu Guru is where dads can find carrier for them, specifically – and we’re excited to introduce you to the Mission Critical Carrier. The Mission Critical S.02 Carrier is different than any other carrier because it is sleek, versatile, and customizable to easily transition from one quest to the next. In fact, the Mission Critical S.02 Carrier is innovative and built from the ground up specifically for dads. The Mission Critical S.02 Baby Carrier is totally versatile and features front or back carry options, which create a system that adapts as your baby grows. Plus, you can integrate it with the Mission Critical S.02 Daypacks for a combination that carries exactly what you need.

The Mission Critical S.02 Carrier doesn’t just focus on baby’s needs, but also is super comfortable for dad, making long outdoor adventures possible for your summer vacation. This would make an ideal gift for any new dad in your life!

My Lap Box: If you’re road tripping this summer, or will be spending time in the car visiting family and friends, we can’t recommend the My Lap Box enough! My Lap Box is a sturdy travel box which easily converts to a travel tray. While other kid’s travel boxes are often too flimsy or fall apart, the My Lap Box Travel Case is sturdy enough to accommodate 2 built-in ridges that will keep an iPad / tablet in place at 2 different viewing angles for your child’s viewing pleasure. As it is lightweight enough for your kiddo to carry on their own (and fill with all of those random items from home they can’t leave behind!), you can bring the Lap Box Travel Case wherever you head this summer. Unlike all other travel trays, our My Lap Box travel case has a detachable, snap on snap off lid. The lid can be secured in place under My Lap Box when not in use or secured to the top to contain all of the enclosed items. My Lap Box is unique for car rides in that it has an included adjustable strap that goes around your child’s waist, so the My Lap Box will never tilt, shift, slide or fall to the floor. It always stays securely in place while on your child’s lap – meaning less fuss from the backseat! It’s ideal for heading outdoors this summer – fill with toys, snacks, crayons, or more, and know that your little one will have everything they need to have a fun summer. Use code gugu10 for 10% off My Lap Box.

Mockingbird Stroller: If you’re heading out with the family this summer, you absolutely need a stroller that can keep up with your family’s adventures. It’s no secret we’re big fans of the Mockingbird Stroller – and for so many reasons! The Mockingbird Stroller is the only premium full-size stroller at a totally affordable price – plus, it was truly built for the modern parent: with a one-hand fold, spill-proof materials, never-flat wheels, and a storage basket that can fit everything. Additionally, to soothe any fears about buying baby gear you can’t first see in person, Mockingbird lets customers try the products at home for 30 days, with free shipping both ways. That gives them a better way to evaluate a stroller than pushing it up and down the smooth floor in a baby store. You can learn more about Mockingbird here, and get yours for summer outings today, as you can check it out at home and we know you’ll love it!

4moms Breeze Plus: When it comes to summertime and getting outside with babies, you’re going to think about having a safe place to put them to rest and lounge. We’re big fans of using the 4moms Breeze Plus playard for summer adventures for so many reasons. One reason is that it is super lightweight and easy to travel with – throw it in the car and you’ll have a safe place for baby to sleep on any trip. Plus, the all-in-one care station makes this the best portable crib for grandma’s house, the park and more. The removable bassinet and changer are simple to assemble, and bring the comfort of your home to every destination. It is so easy to open and close, you won’t be fussing with it on your next camping trip or picnic – plus, it is mesh sides, so your little one can get fresh air and won’t overheat. Learn more about the 4moms Breeze Plus here.
