Bits & Pieces

Yummy Apple Pie

Does this not look like the best apple pie ever?!! I think I will give it a shot for Christmas. Stay tuned. :o)

DNA-ing Your Kids

We were at a Halloween function once and they were offering free dental molds for all of the kids there. It was an easy process, the dentists put the mold in hot water and then the kids bit into it. Not only do we have a mold of their teeth but the special mold material holds the DNA. DNA-ing our kids isn't something that we would have done on our own but since it was there and free, why not?

Phone Bling

Phone bling is fun and can be found just about anywhere these days. I know my girls have fun decorating their phones - also makes it easier to figure out who's is who's when you all have the same phone.

Chocolate milk as sports drink?

Well, this is good news. Does this mean that us non-sport types can drink our chocolate milk guilt free?

Heated Mouse Pad

I find this product hyserical! Not because it's so silly but becuase I need one!! The basement is so cold in the winter that my mouse hand is always at ice cube temp. Ok family, that was a hint. :o)

Proof of Global Warming

I found this - Ode to Global Warming - quite funny and had to pass it along. I too must be experiencing global warming in reverse. Lol.

Frigits - Interactive Fridge Magnets

I have seen these before, or at least ones like them. Frigits would keep my kid busy for hours - or until she lost the balls under the fridge. Hmmm...Christmas gift? I think so. :o)

New HPV Vaccine

The HPV vaccine is now available for girls ages 9-26. 9!! I realize that this is a series of vaccines but there is no way in he** I would consider giving my 9 year old little girl a STD vaccine. I think any mom should wait a year or so until jumping on this bandwagon until we know for sure what problems this new vaccine will cause.

Can you make your baby smarter?

Seems as if the jury is still out on the question - Can you make your baby smarter? I'm not sure how "they" can consider Sesame Street bad for kids under 2. Kids LOVE music, bright colors and movement. I think 35 years of parents would have to disagree.
