Know someone about to have twins?

The owner of Minifashionista.com/au has twins herself, so there are some really cute options for parents of multiples at this Australian company– there are also plenty of hip offerings for the singlton baby as well…

I absolutely LOVE the humor in these two sets for twins.  You will definitely get a good laugh while your babes are dressed in these numbers.  Excellent gift idea too I might add!!

The whole site, which is popular with celebs like Gwen Stefani, is wonderful—take a look around and find something that helps your child express themselves.  It just may make a grocery shopping trip a little more fun with all the smiles you’ll get! Jen

I gave in…and I am glad!!!

Ok, I know, this is nothing new.  A lot of vehicles (except mine) have had DVD players in them for a while now… I felt like a good old-fashioned mother who would  cheerfully sing songs and play games to elicit happiness from my  screaming 23month-old.  Well… the envy I felt when I would see cars passing with DVD’s being played for what might have been previously unruly pint-sized passengers, got the best of me.  I figured that the amount I could pay to have a portable player, would be much less than surgery for vocal nodules after too many rounds of “The Wheels on the Bus.” 

We bought this Insignia Portable DVD player from Best Buy, and it has been such a help when we are on long trips with our little one!  The monitors strap to the back of the front seat headrests for easy viewing, and I can control the DVD player that is plugged into my car’s adapter.  Very easy to use…

I am not saying those games and songs need to go out the window when you install this puppy, but, when you are on a long ride, it really helps.  People didn’t shy away from the wheel once it was invented now did they? 

For summer road travel, this DVD player has MomAppeal!!! Jen

Sippy cup for mom!!

The ever popular Nalgene water bottle, that you no doubt have seen, has a twist that may interest you! 

After dousing my face repeatedly with water (only some of it reaching my thirsty mouth) after a workouts with our trainer—you know what I am talking about—when you have a nice big wide mouthed bottle and you go to take a drink and end up bathing your face and allowing a stream of water to run from your chin??? Not exactly the most flattering look, and when you are exercising, you really NEED that water going into your mouth.  Between you and me—I have always wondered what the reaction would be, if, after a workout, I just poured the bottle of water right over my head for relief on the spot…

Well, anyway, I decided to find a solution, and the good people at Nalgene have one—they call it the “Easy Sipper.”  It comes in an array of colors, and can be purchased as an accessory to their 32oz wide mouthed bottles—a must if you want to save some face at the gym, or when your husband unexpectedly brakes the car while you’re mid-sip!

Toddler Water Closet issue solved!!!

I bought a potty chair without researching , and was sadly disappointed.  The chair was not comfortable and too high for my peanut to be able to get up on her throne without my help!  It also had a lot of different parts and crevasses that I could envision getting a wee bit gross after some use—no way!!!

In comes the wonderful The Baby Bjorn Potty chair , which is well reviewed most anywhere…is not only affordable—it rocks our potty world!

The chair comes in a number of different colors, and has one piece that can remove from the chair to easily clean.  Best thing, my petite little girl can get onto it herself…ahhhh…I see a bit more freedom in sight for both of us!  Pssst…currently on sale at Amazon! Jen
