Maxx Elite Intel-a-temp 2-n-1 Bottle Warmer & Sterilizer

I have 4 daughters and I have had 6 bottle warmers and this is the best one that I have every purchased! I will never but another brand again. This warmer is so wonderful and does so much more than traditional bottle warmers. It has an LED digital screen that displays the time so you do not have to turn on any lights for night time feedings waking your baby up more than you need to. Once you have your baby on a scheduled you can also program the timer to automatically set it to start warming up to 9 1/2 hours ahead of time. It keeps and maintains your baby's bottle to a constant temperature just in case you warm it up and your baby decides to fall back asleep. You can warm breast milk in your storage bags. 3 minute auto shut-off for safety and 3 minute turbo warming for when you little one will not wait. It has an adjustable temperature so you can set temperature for warming breast milk, formula and baby food to perfect temperature. It works with all size bottles and is small enough to pack in your suitcase for travel. It will warm baby food, massage oil, essential oils, Coconut oil and aromatherapy oil. It has a 15 minute bottle, nipple, and paci sterilizer with an auto shut off when the sterilization is finished to prevent damage. It really does everything and it will continue to be useful long after your baby is no longer taking a bottle. I received this item complimentary for testing and review purposes, however my opinions are mine alone and always honest.

The journey to the perfect vanity...

I ordered the Micke Desk from Ikea for $69.99 and while that process was a COMPLETE nightmare I am thrilled with my vanity so far.

The desk arrived from Ikea in a very flat heavy box.  If you have ever purchased anything from Ikea you know to be prepared to assemble every inch of your purchase.  

I tore into the box like a kid on Christmas and began so spread out the parts so I could better understand the task ahead of me and to my horror I discovered the hardware all tossed together in a bag!  No separation or organization at all.  How would I ever understand what goes where? 

 

I opened the instruction book and began the process of putting the drawers together.  As I flew through the drawer assembly, first one drawer than the second, I thought to myself "I can do this!"

When it came to the main structure of the desk it assembles with wood pegs which you might want to add a drop of wood glue or you could end up frustrated while adding the legs.  When you assemble the main section remember that this desk can be assembled 1 of 2 ways so be careful or you could end up doing it incorrectly and having to take it apart and putting it back together.

 After 2 hours on the floor and digging through a bag of parts I was finally finished.  I stood back and glowed with pride at what I had built.  But I still wasn't finished because being the Queen Bee I can't have a vanity that looks like everyone's so I added a bit of sparkle just to make is special.

The sparkle was achived by purchasing florist ribbon from Amazon and cutting it to the size of the drawer fronts and gluing 2 inches at a time using E6000 glue.  You will want to let these dry overnight to assure that they stay in place.  This glue is water and heat resistant.

I hope you enjoyed this little journey and stay tuned for how to achieve the look with my organizers.
