I have 2 toddlers that are only 12 months apart in age. (Yep, I stay quite busy!) One thing that has made my life so much easier has been baby-wearing. Especially when we're shopping or running errands! The Baby K’tan Baby Carrier is an innovative soft cotton baby carrier that is an ideal blend of a sling, wrap and carrier, providing the positions and benefits of all three. There is no other carrier available like it. It is a ready-to-wear wrap that enables parents & caregivers to comfortably carry infants and toddlers (from birth to 3 years) in multiple positions.

Special guests Garfield and Care Bears will appear on select weekends along with magic shows and everyone's favorite, Jungle Terry! New this year is the Family Pumpkin Pack for just $44.99, available at Marc's while supplies last, which includes 4 admission tickets as well as a parking pass! (If you haven't shopped at Marc's before, you need to check them out. They have the lowest prices on groceries and you'll save tons of money! My Grandma has been shopping there for decades, so I'm pretty familiar with them!) We will be attending this event and I just know the kids will have a blast! Sophie will be all prettied up in her Princess costume and Xander will be a Garden Gnome. Kyle, who is almost 13, will be wearing a spooky costume of his own creation. I'll be sure to take lots of photos to share with you! As you can see from the event website at www.ixtrickortreatstreet.com, there is tons of Halloween fun! See this smiling face? That's my soon to be 13 year old son, Kyle. He's also the hardest person to shop for during the Holiday season. You see, Kyle emphatically states to whoever will listen that he is no longer a child and he's too old for toys. (I happen to think 13 is still very much a child, but we can agree to disagree there.) So rather than simply give him an array of socks and underwear for Christmas, I always try and find fun and unique gifts that stimulate his mind and his sense of creativity. This is where Funnybone Toys comes to the rescue! Haven't heard of Funnybone Toys? They're a fairly new company that's blazing into the toy and game industry and have already won several coveted awards, including: Creative Child’s Game of the Year and Preferred Choice Awards· Tillywig Brain Child Award Mr. Dad and Great Dad seals of approval Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award Owner Julien Sharp with her team of creative geniuses has uncovered a niche that is quickly spreading -- offering hip, museum-quality products that encourage casual entertainment that complements conversation -- no matter what your age. And since everyone appreciates a little glamour in his or her day, Funnybone Toys' three sets of card games brighten up any room. The card sets' color and design may be appreciated consciously or subconsciously but they always attract the players' senses for beauty, design and pleasure. The unanimous response when gift hunters pick up a card box is, “Wow, these are really cool!” If your kids are anything like mine and millions of other kids around the world, they like things that are ooey-gooey, sticky and messy. You see, kids are very curious little creatures and they love exploring their senses in a very hands on manner. Whether it be making mud pies, splashing in a puddle of maple syrup, or even mixing corn starch and water to make Oobleck, kids love getting creative in interesting ways. That's why the Nickelodeon Floam Factory is a great choice for Holiday gift giving this year. Floam has all of the appeal of anything gooey and messy, but without the tedious clean up. (Yep, this stuff is very easy to clean up after!) It's also completely non-toxic, so if a bit of Floam somehow happens to get in little mouths or noses, you won't need to rush to call the poison control center or head to the emergency room. Of course I wouldn't recommend allowing kids to eat their Floam, but as we all know, kids like to explore with their mouths on occasion. So what is Floam, exactly? Well, it's a mixture of coloring, tiny foam balls, and a glue-like substance. It's pliable, moldable, and feels very squishy between tiny little fingers. The cool part is that while Floam can be stored and reused, you can also allow it to harden overnight to keep your kids' creations forever. Floam comes in a fun variety of vibrant colors and can be used to make anything under the sun. Heck, your little ones can even make the sun if they're so inclined! Show of hands, everyone...Who LOVES Disney as much as I do?! Well, if your family is anything like mine, you're anxiously awaiting the release of the brand new Disney film, "Wreck It Ralph" which blazes into theaters on November 2, 2012! Just in case you've been living under a rock somewhere and are unfamiliar with Wreck It Ralph, here's some info about this amazing new film: From Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore comes “Wreck-It Ralph,” a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping adventure. For decades, Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) has been overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the good-guy star of their game who always gets to save the day. Tired of playing the role of a bad guy, Ralph takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a journey across the arcade through multiple generations of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero. On his quest, Ralph meets tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty, and feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) from the candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush, who may just be his first real friend. But everything changes when a deadly enemy is unleashed, threatening the entire arcade and Vanellope herself. Ralph finally gets his chance to save the day—but can he do it in time? “Wreck-It Ralph” crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters. Check out this hilarious new clip from the film: Enter the world of WRECK-IT RALPH and go on a hero's journey for the chance to win a trip for four provided by Adventures by Disney!

Bookmark this page and come back daily for extra entries. My daughter, Sophie, is almost 3. She is in the potty-training process, and she does quite well...Most of the time, that is. Sometimes, when she has to go #2, she strains and tries to keep it all in, making her rather constipated. When I asked her pediatrician about ways to help aid her digestive health, one thing that was highly recommended was the use of children's probiotics.
While this will not make her go to the restroom, it will aid the while process of digestion with the use of probiotics. Probiotics help maintain a healthy digestive tract and maximize the body’s ability to absorb nutrition from the foods that are eaten. It's very easy for the "good" bacteria in the body to get thrown off, whether it be by picky eating or the use of antibiotics. Probiotics help keep the body on track. One great product that offers kids the benefits of probiotics is KidsLac, from the folks at Global Health Trax. This product comes in a yummy sour apple flavor that kids love. It's easy to use, too! A box of KidsLac contains 30 individual packets which can be mixed into water or cool foods that could use a flavor boost. As a parent, I take tons of photos. I do mean TONS. From the day my 3 kids were born, I have been behind the camera, incessantly snapping away. Babies change rapidly, so I love to capture memories and milestones. I even like getting those potential blackmail photos to use later on in life, like my toddlers covered in food or wearing a diaper on their heads. (Hey, if you can't have fun with your kids, what's the point in being a parent?!) Since photography has basically gone completely digital, more and more people store their precious photos on their computers. The upside is that it's super convenient and easy to share photos with family and friends. The downside is that if a computer crashes, all of these photos can be lost forever. To help safeguard photos, it's always a good idea to store them in an alternate place. Importing them can be a tedious process, though. Until now, that is! The folks at Picture Keeper offer an easy to use, foolproof solution to help keep all of those treasured memories safe. Picture Keeper offers 5 great products that give you the ability to back up between 4,000 and a whopping 250,000 photos. These simply plug into any USB port and automatically locate and copy your photos. Easy peasy! These are wonderful for family photos, hobbyists, and even professional photographers alike! Here's more about Picture Keeper: Based in Atlanta, GA with offices in Colorado, Simplified I.T. Products, LLC is a pioneer in developing simple, affordable solutions for the mass market.
