    blog post photoNot sure who will like this more- you or your daughter?

    UNO makes this cool line of metal necklaces and bracelets that look great, are magnetic and fun to play with.

    The chains come in a variety of colors and they link together in seconds by clinging to a magnet.  You can mix and match colors, designs, and styles to make your own creations.  I bought 2 of them, black and dirty penny, but believe me I was tempted by the other ones too. 

    The Magnet comes in a variety of shapes- stars, hearts, circles.   Great stocking stuffers and a totally unique gift.

    No smell!  YAY!  I love this new Arm & Hammer diaper pail because it does exactly what it is supposed to do - keeps odors inside the pail and controls odor around the opening of the pail.

    It is easy to use and the new self-sealing system allows you to snap, seal and then toss right in the trash. It holds up to 25 diapers and the baking soda dispenser drops a bit of baking soda each time you add a new diaper.  I have to admit- I got rid of my old diaper pail when I tried this one because it really controls the odor.  My baby's changing area smells fresh and clean- just like I would expect from Arm & Hammer and Munchkin.  A ModernMom Must have.

    blog post photoHow cute are these?  Biking with your kids in the park, heading down the path with your kids racing ahead of you, wouldn’t you like to be able to keep a better eye on them in the biking crowd of kids? How about while your little ones are on the slopes skiing or snowboarding super fast down the hill?

    A helmet cover will let you keep your eye on them all the way down. These Tail Wags Helmet Covers
    are made from super-soft fleece and they fit right on top of your own helmet. One size fits all helmets and can chose from a variety of adorable and funny animals.  Of course, they are washable & resist fading. So fun for kids of all ages.

    blog post photoSuch a cool new way to give your baby a bath! This European style baby tub keeps your baby happy and toasty warm during bath time. It's so hard to get those little parts clean while keeping your little one warm at the same time. The key is getting their shoulders under the water so your baby can feel warm and secure in the tub. This tub allows your baby to be in a natural position while getting squeaky clean.

    It's easy to use and may even soothe the tummies of colicky babies. No polycarbonate, no bisphenol-A and no paint. Recommended age is newborn up to 10 months.

    blog post photoCruising in my neighborhood with my baby on my bike is one of my favorite things to do. We are lucky enough to live where the streets are flat so I can ride for as long as I like without getting too tired. :)  This super cool must-have let’s me talk to my baby while I am riding her around because believe it or not she is in the front of my bike near the handle bars!  

    It’s a front mounted child seat for your bike! While I ride, people stop me and tell me that they can’t believe what they are seeing.  I am not kidding.  It is totally safe and secure in the front and I still have tons of control.  We laugh and giggle and I can point out things in the neighborhood making biking a learning experience, rather than just a fun time (which it still is).  It is fully adjustable, it has a 3 point safety harness and a lap bar that locks into place.  It was easy to attach and I think it is the best must have while your child is small enough to fit in it. Holds up to 38 pounds.

    blog post photoI have to admit that I am a big kid at heart.  I’m not embarrassed to admit that I enjoy Disneyland as much as my kids.  When I can’t get to Disneyland, stopping by the Disney store gives me a “quick fix” of my- (I mean my kids) favorite characters. :)

    Right now plush toys ranging from 16” to 10” are a great value at 2 for $25. Nemo, Mickey, Pooh, Minnie, Tigger- they are all there and it’s great to grab them now for the holidays.

    Some other cool toys to consider for the holidays are the classics that are Disney Park Authentic.  They resemble the places you love inside Disneyland .

    Deluxe Mickey Mouse Pirates of the Caribbean Pirate Ship

    Cinderella Play Castle with tons of accessories

    blog post photoI have Turkey on the brain. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I need to get my list of essentials going.

    RSVP International LFT-2 Poultry Lifters easily lifts your largest turkey, roasts or poultry from hot pans.  I use these all the time!  Easy non-slip handles lets me transfer my turkey from the roasting pan to the platter easily and without a mess. You can even use them as a carving fork. As most things l write about, clean up is easy because it’s dishwasher safe.

    blog post photoAre you a mom to be?  Here is something cute to enjoy during your 9 months of pregnancy.  A due date necklace.

    Go belly go's due date maternity necklaces are little cute rectangles that dangle down and display the month your baby is due.  It is a very special keepsake and one that you will keep forever.  My kids are older now, but I would use the due date charm now and mingle it with other charms that are special to me.  A very cool gift for a friend or yourself.

    blog post photoMost of my must-haves are for babies, moms and kids.  As the mom of 2 big boys, it is hard for me to find things that make their hearts beat faster. 

    Nerf guns are up there at the top of the list.  My 10 year old talked one of my best friends into buying him this amazing new Nerf Blaster.  It holds 35 shots and has the highest dart capacity of any Nerf Blaster on the market. This thing is HUGE.

    A giant Drum Magazine holds the darts and with 2 blasting modes and a slam fire handle it is sure to keep them busy and playing for hours.  Best of all, it is Nerf, so the darts are soft yet fast. Ages 6 and up for sure!
