Oh what lurks on those seats?

Site Author — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 21:17:00 +0000

The last time I went to the grocery store, my hand actually stuck to the handle on the shopping cart. I had no idea what it was but I was lucky not to have the little oh- let- me- touch- that- and- immediately- put- my- little- hand- in- my- little- mouth guy with me. I found a cute and stylish solution for the next trip. These shopping cart covers from Hula Moon are perfectly padded for comfort and wonderfully large to cover the entire buggy seat. Ewwww, I have the shivers. Find them here: shoppingcartcovers

My Choice Chart

Anyone with young children can tell you, finding a system that works in a positive way is the number one goal. This "My Choice Chart" focuses on the good behavior and positive choices that help shape the characters of our growing little ones. Using responsibility and accountability, this creative system helps them make good behavioral choices instead of focusing on punishment. It is not a rewards based system, it is an interactive teaching tool that supports ongoing character development and family togetherness. It's working wonders in our home.

We love to try them all, don't we? Of course, it's always best to wash your hands, but when you can't, this is perfect for the job. The spray bottle is easy to use and easy to tote in your bag. We have the three pack and put one in each bag. The bonus is this product is not alcohol based and the smell is quite pleasant. It also doesn't dry out your hands and kills 99.99% of germs.

Adjustable Sling from Balboa Baby

Site Author — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:11:56 +0000

We finally found that great "Dr. Sears" approved adjustable baby sling in wonderful updated styles. They are so hip and trendy and if you like carrying your little one in style, there is no other option. They come in eight styles and they even have a pocket in the front. These are perfect for 6-25 lbs, are machine washable and can be worn by anyone. Not a bad price either ($59.95). Find them here: AdjustableSling

Hula Hoop Turns 50

Site Author — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:09:51 +0000

Wii Fit goes old school. Even today's technology is giving credit where credit is due. The original Hula Hoop that became a cultural phenomenon 50 years ago (at one point the company was producing 20,000 per day!) is still going strong. Promoting outdoor activity with their fantastic line of simple yet timeless toys, Wham-O says Happy Birthday to a classic. We love the Hula Hoop in our house. Get outside this summer and check out the other fun toys from Wham-O. www.WHAM-O.com

Made in the ShadyBaby

If you are like us and the stroller shade never seems to cover enough no matter what time of day it is, you'll love this stroller parasol by ShadyBaby. The version we checked out was the Sock Monkey style - so stylish. The sturdy construction and versatility is an engineering coup. The attachment fits on all five strollers we tried and the simple push button adjustment allows you to easily change the position of the umbrella as you are strolling. The tilt feature on the top canopy allows even more flexibility for maximum shade protection without obstructing your view (said our most height-challenged user). Bonus? It's SPF 50+!! This is a hottest accessory to make all the other stroller jockeys jealous. You can find them here: ShadyBaby.com

Fiber Wig-Magic Mascara?

Site Author — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 20:04:36 +0000

So if you heard the buzz about the new mascara that would replace your fasle eyelashes, let me tell you the personal testing results we found. We LOVE this mascara, but only because it's a good mascara. We did not find the "false eyelash-like" results as advertised. Bummer because we all love a good lash and even for a fancy occasion, glueing those puppies on takes time. The fibers in the product are supposed to interconnect to form long lashes. Again, we love this product but only because we love a good mascara. I waited to find this on the shelf because my local Sephora was sold out week after week but I finally found a tube in San Francisco. Worth the $22 price tag? Depends. We found a mascara that cuts the mustard just as well for less than $9 (L'Oreal Clean Definition Telescopic). Find Fiber Wig at Sephora online here.
