S'mores and a Movie, the Perfect Campout!
2007-09-03 07:34:00
Summer's grand finale was a family and friend filled camping trip to Mammoth Lakes, CA. The Sierras, so beautiful during the day, there's hiking, biking, fishing, etc. But when night time rolls around, there's the campfire, s'mores and well, that's about it... Not anymore! We actually brought our Epson Movie Mate camping with us. We plugged the power into a friend's motorhome and played the movie on the side of another friend's camper! It was so much fun to watch a movie under the stars. The kids were in awe, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, larger than life, a campfire, and s'mores. I think half of the campground joined us and maybe even a bear or two. The Epson MoiveMate is a portable high quality projector that can turn any wall into a SIMPLE "real life" movie theater experience. Set up is so easy! You literally plug the cord into the system and plug it into an outlet. Voila! With two simple steps, you have your very own portable cinema. What is truly amazing about the M...

Swanky Summertime Fun: Math Marks the Spot
2007-08-11 07:51:00
With the first day of school right around the corner, now would be a good time to brush up on those math facts! Check out the Math Marks the Spot game from Learning Resources. This great game keeps kids moving and thinking. Designed for ages 5 and up, players take turns rolling giant foam dice to create basic addition and subtraction problems using the numbers 1-6. The three dice form an equation and if necessary, the children can use the number lines and markers to find the answer on the giant mat. After the equation is solved, colored circles serve as markers to keep track of answers. This great game has been a super fun summer activity. It can be played either indoors or out and it is perfect for teaching basic math facts. My oldest son is headed for kindergarten in a few weeks, and I know our games of "Math Marks the Spot" have helped him to get a jump start on his math facts. What's hilarious is that whenever I play the game with him, he has know idea his is "learning." Howeve...

Babeebrite
2007-08-09 13:50:00
As the mother of a newborn, I find myself stumbling around my apartment at all hours of the night for diaper changes and feedings. The Babeebrite is a tiny clip-on flashlight meant to help parents navigate these nighttime tasks. The soft LED light turns off automatically after 7 minutes, and is gentle enough not to wake or irritate babies. I found myself using my Babeebrite whenever I wanted to check on my son without startling him. The Babeebrite clips to your shirt or other surfaces, though the 1? hinge was just a hair too narrow to fit on typical nursery items such as the side of my Pack-n-Play. It comes in muted shades of pink, blue, green, and white ? all of them a lot easier on the eyes than the usual baby pastels.

Want your gift to be the talk of the next baby shower or 1st birthday party? You must check out the voice recording frames from That's My Brat . These high quality wooden frames have voice recorders on them that allow you to record a message to your little loved one. The recorder is on the back of the frame and is easily removable and simple to operate.If you're pregnant, or know someone who is, the sonogram frame is a great idea. You can take the recorder to the doctor's office and record the baby's heartbeat and them frame the sonogram photo, I wish I would have had the opportunity to do this, what a fantastic keepsake. My suggestion, get them for the grandma's too! This would be a fantastic way to announce your pregnancy to the family. I love the "My First Word" frames. How special to be able to capture that moment in recording and then display it with a great picture. Also, the "My First Birthday" frame, so cute!

Looking for a great new activity to keep the kids busy during these last few weeks of summer? Try the Wonder Maze from Museum Tour. This fantastic set consists of 6 "feature" pieces (mazes, wheels, spinners and more!), 6 elbow ramps, 2 tunnels, 6 balls, and one catch box. All pieces are "jumbo" sized, perfect for ages 3 and up.

Anyone that comes over (both children and adults) gravitates toward the set to create a new design. The Wonder Maze is perfect for some refrigerator fun, but I say make it big!There are lots of fun things you can do to create a fun magnetic play area.

Swanky Summertime Fun: The Perfect Travel Tee
2007-08-03 07:45:00
Honestly, you would have thought my boys were celebs last week waiting for our plane at LAX. From the moment we walked in the door, we had people stopping us asking about their "hilarious" shirts. I even had one woman stop me to tell me she just "texted" a friend to tell her about this great shirt some cute little boys were wearing at the airport. What kind of tee could possibly turn so many heads and evoke so many smiles? Why one from Milk Bomb of course! We recently received their "Congratulations, you get to sit near me" airplane tees for our summer vacation and I'm telling you, they are fantastic! My boys wore the tees both to and from our trip and the whole time we had people commenting. We heard everything from, "Great Shirt" to "That's the most hilarious shirt I've ever seen." I also saw lots of smirks and I know what they were thinking, "I hope they're not sitting next to me!" When I first got the shirts in the mail I thought, hey, I want one too... Well, guess what?

Lately I'm in LOVE with the all the sweet sweet offerings over at Sweet Baby Jane . Most of their goodies for hip kids are hand sewn or hand painted and personalized to your liking. This new shop was started by three artisans who share my passion for fabric and color! One of my fave items on the site are these fabric and ribbon covered wipes cases, $25 each. What a fantastic idea! I've been lugging around one of those unsightly plastic Huggies containers in my purse for over a year now. Not pretty at all! SBJ also makes these gorgeous matching nappy bags which hold the wipes container, 4-6 diapers, and even a portable changing pad. So easy to keep it all together and throw in your bag on the way out.
