Kathleen and I have been faithfully following Mommyperks for awhile.  Shara Lawrence-Weiss, owner of Mommyperks, seriously had us when she said on her ‘about us’ page:

“Patience and perseverance, I always say. Slow and steady wins the race. Relationships over Numbers. People over Money. Caring over Fame. Welcome to the Mommy Perks way of thinking”.

We share this way of thinking and through the months of following and participating in some of her marketing programs and Perks, it is evident that her actions speak louder than her words.  Kathleen and I hired Mommyperks to do a business write-up on Bibagogo.

In her write up of Bibagogo, Shara of Mommyperks highlighted:

• What’s Bibagogo all about?
• Explains more about how it is a product that “incorporates the cooperative triads of efforts of creative ideas, talents and execution… Father-inspired, designed (and co-owned) by a high-end women’s couture fashion designer and co-owned by a mom entrepreneur”.
• Who uses or stocks the Bibagogo line?
• Wholesale options
• What are customers saying?
• List of awards that the Bibagogo received.

Andrea Page, FitmomCEO posted about the Bibagogo on her AndreaPageOnline blog:

Check this out. It ’s so funny how every new product makes me want to have another baby ( for 10 seconds ) . I also don’t get how I still get so excited about a bib,but heres the deal. The neat freak in me is in love with the features of the Bibagogo . It comes with a spoon that locks away in its own compartent so it doesn’t get crap all over my fancy now purse/diaper bag. Both sides wipe down and two cloth holders and the fact that my even 4 year old can’t even yank it off ( the snaps are amazing! ) is why I love it! While between 20-45 $ for a bib may seem like a lot I can’t even imagine how much one would save on laundry, time ,lost baby cloths and spoons.  What a great gift for a mommy like me.

Our thanks to Andrea and bravo for her bold and so true statement: “Motherhood inspires Greatness”!

One Daddy blogger that we regularly follow on our social network life, just posted a great picture of his son, Jakey in the Blue Rainboot Bibagogo.  Thanks for the post! Log onto Log onto Dad Street and share your ‘Hoover’ stories.

Here is the link:  http://www.dadstreet.com/2011/03/do-you-have-a-hoover/

Our ‘Hoover’ is a Brittany Spaniel who has put on a few too many pounds since 2 babies entered his domain. The kids let Baxter, our Hoover, eat out of the bottom Bibagogo pocket like a food trough!

Daddy blogging is a relatively a new and cool phenomenon.  Do you follow a parenting information or support blog?  If not, try following a blog that is told from ‘daddy’s perspective, these dads share what it’s like to be awoken by their loud screaming kids at 6am, finding the right barrette for their daughters’ hair and chasing after toddlers in the snow.’  It is interesting to be connected to how one dad views life through a dads lens.

We recommend Josh from DadStreet.  He is a busy dad with his two children, his Daddy Blog, and keeping up with family life.

Here are some of the links you can find him:

• www.DadStreet.com: His personal blog focused on his dad views of daily life being a dad.
• www.DadsTalking.com: Corporative effort of a few dads talking about being dads and being men, and not always in that order.
• www.LateNightParents.com: A collaborative effort with another popular daddy blogger, Adam Cohen of DaDaROcks.  There is a live show every Monday at 11pm EST where you can interact with blog posting, interact with these two dads plus see product reviews/giveaways, and have some raw laughs. Episodes are rebroadcasted on Blip.TV, Vimeo, You Tube, iTunes, Tumblr, Posterous, and MomTV among others.
• www.TwoSidesOneStory.com: This is a brand new site (launching March 28) . Josh from Dad Street teams with Jessica of www.MommasGoneCity.com. Interesting!  Get a mommy & daddy perspective and interaction online!

This morning on CTV News Canada AM, there was a great feature titled, Top Tips for Travelling with Tots.

Family travel expert Corinne McDermott of Have Baby Will Travel, offers tips for smooth sailing (or flying, or driving) on your next family getaway!

Corinne displayed some amazing products including our very own Canadian made, Bibagogo.  She highlighted the importance of having a easy wipe bib that is long to tuck under tables.  Also showed how conveniently portable the rolled up Bibagogo was and having the back pockets with 2 facecloths and a spoon was a bonus!

Thanks Corinne for your support.

Corinne informed me that she still has her original Bibagogo from years ago and it has held up through travel and use!

REVIEW BY PRACTICAL MUM:  Shelagh Cummins

I have a new favorite item. The Bibagogo big. It’s super well made, easy to clean fabric (in washer AND dryer!!), the storage compartments for facecloths and a spoon is dynamite… what a great invention. Having never left home with all items for a meal before (I always forget at least one thing!), this bib is a huge help.
I love the different designs to choose from, and I feel like the price point is very reasonable, particularly when you see the quality of the bib. Take it from me, not all bibs are created equal.

llmom on January 3, 2011 at 5:59 pm says:

I tested out the Bibagogo bib too. It was great! The bib is generous in size and tucks under a tabletop or tray. I was nervous about no sleeves as that is what we usually use, but it was not a problem due to the size of the bib. I loved having the spoon and 2 facecloths too. I always forget one or other of utensil, facecloth or bib when travelling.

The cloth is so thick that when I cleaned the front of the bib after a meal, the facecloths and spoons didn’t even get wet in their compartments. The spoon was in so snug in its pouch that I almost put the bib in the wash with the spoon still in. This means you won’t lose it in your bag or during use if you don’t need it. And it washes easily too!

Take it from a mom who does a lot of travelling with my toddler, this is so handy and fits easily in the diaper bag or carry all.

NY on January 8, 2011 at 1:42 am says:

-Fabulous find this bib is now part of the diaper bag. Great for travelling.

-Must have been created by a very smart mama given that it has a snap and not velcro SO GOOD – my little one I swear can smell velcro from a mile away and then we have the bib war which is tuff stuff when we have to get thru the food war too.
-Love the Christmas print – great for boy or girl.
-Excellent quality fabric!
-Not ready to part however with the ones I use at home full-time as they have the plastic scoop part to catch all the food given that the toddler is digging the independent eating these days the scoop is necessary.

What’s Hot 4 Kids by Toronto4Kids.com listed Bibagogo.  Check out their write up and picture display.  Great Canadian resource for everything you need to find out for babies, children, families and parents.
