We got Mini Buff a Baby Jamz Jammin’ Microphone from Walmart the other day and he absolutely loves it. I’m not to happy about the noise it makes (it should come with volume control), but he likes it and that’s all that matters.
It’s cute though. It has a few buttons on it like play, record (his favorite), and forward/backward. It also has a button that will play music for him to sing to including Old MacDonald, Bingo and Skip to my Lou. There are other toys that go with the Baby Jamz line, toys that promote learning, creativity and movement through music. They were created by Mathew and Solange Knowles (Beyonce’s father and sister). It’s the first ever hip-hop/rhythm-inspired preschool toy line and they’re available at your local Wal-Mart.
I thought about getting him some more, but I want to see if he stays with it. He’s picky about his toys. If he doesn’t I’ll just give it to my nephew. He’d love it to death. It’s almost as loud as he is. But if your toddler loves music or just bebopping to the radio, then check out the Baby Jamz line of toys.

Mini Buff loves his new dish set that I got him. It’s a Vehicle Sounds dish set made by Crocodile Creek. It has, of course, all the utensils your child would need to eat their meal, but what’s cool about them, and what my son loves about them, is that they have vehicles with the sounds they make printed on the dishes. Like the tractor bowl, and air plane cup. His favorite is the plate with the fire truck on it. Every night for dinner, all I hear is “Fur truh eat”, meaning he wants his fire truck plate. It’s to adorable.
It also makes a great gift for a niece or nephew or any other toddler you might know. I definitely recommend this item to all parents. And it has been Mini Buff approved as well.

But it could just be me. I got my Senseo coffee machine the other day and my husband has been playing with it ever since. I had planned to give it to my mom for Christmas, but he just can’t get enough of it. And to tell the truth, I enjoy it much more then my old normal coffee pot. Because this new one is an espresso machine! How awesome is that? I’ve never had one. And now I do. So now I may just get another one for mom. We’re enjoying ours to much.
What I like most about it is how easy it is to make the coffee. It comes with little pockets of coffee called pods. They contain pre-measured amounts of coffee in them, and when your done using them, all you have to do is throw them out. There’s no more need for messy filters or cleaning up spilled coffee grounds. And it can also make one or two cups of coffee at once. And if you’re a tea lover, Senseo also makes tea pods for the machine. It really is a very clean, very nifty machine to have for that morning pick-me-up.

I grew up around people who adored candles and loved collecting them, as well as burning them to make the house smell nice. 
So naturally, that is what I have begun to do. I’ve also gotten my husband into it, but don’t tell him I told you. Hehe.
Lately I have been looking for some new candles because I’ve gone through all the ones that I’ve gotten for myself to burn and stink up the house, and I found this great website for a candle company based in my old home state of Vermont. I received some sample products from them at my request so that I could share this great way of natural candle making with you, the readers.
First off, they smell great. I have shared the samples with my mom and in-laws and they love them as well. My favorite has to be the Sweet Dreams candle, made to smell like lavender, lemongrass, and marjoram. They also come in the coolest holders and jars. That in itself isn’t unusual, but I’ll tell you why these candles are special. The candles themselves are 100% biodegradable, safe and non-toxic. So we can make the planet a little happier knowing they won’t leave behind harmful chemicals like some other candles do. They also contain no dyes so that nothing bad is released into the environment, and that my friends is why they come in such pretty packaging (as seen in the image above). 
The candles also come in a whole variety of scents and styles. From seasonal to every day use. They really are a great way to make your home smell nice and save the earth a little more all at the same time. Visit them today and see what they have to offer.

I got my MomAgenda desk calendar the other day and I have to say that I have found it extremely useful. As we all know, agenda’s and calendars are meant to keep us as organized as possible. But this one likes to keep me extra organized. It has some nice features in it as well. It has pages that are good for party-planning, vacation planning, and of course the calendar itself. What I like most about the calendar is that it’s sectioned off so it allows you to keep your dates and your children’s dates separate, but everything is on the same page. You can also write your kids names in the boxes given so that they each have their little sections for their individual dates and events. In my old book everything got cluttered and squashed together, but this way, I can be more organized and my dates and events are more readable. Another neat feature is the lists of websites and phone numbers that are (possibly) essential to a mommy’s everyday need. It could also be a great resource for helping your kids with school projects. You’d have all the websites you could research on right there at your fingertips. And having phone numbers to airlines, car rental companies, and hotels is a plus as well.
I definitely like this product and recommend it to anyone who likes to stay as organized as I do. The great part is, it’s not just for moms, and they make great gift ideas for whoever you think would like/need one. So head on over to MomAgenda and check it out for yourself.

We all go out for a night together with our husbands and/or wives. If you have children, that means leaving them with a babysitter or some form of trusted adult. And with that comes the task of leaving emergency information for said “guardian” in case they need to reach you at some point for whatever reason. That’s where the Babysitter Memo Tile from PlaceTile Designs comes in. It’s outfitted for filling out just the right information you need to give such as hospital and doctor’s phone numbers, allergies and medication for the children and of course the number(s) in which you can be reached. And with it’s erasable black marker and surface, it can be used more then one or twice.
Not only is it compact, but it’s elegant and with it’s 7 inch all around square shape, it can be placed just about anywhere such as on a mantle, a shelf, a table or on a counter. It’s soft yellow color can match any decor as well, making it a perfect ornament when it isn’t being used.
I have placed this on the shelf above my kitchen sink and use it when I need to. In fact, we are having someone watch the baby tomarrow while the hubby and I go out so I’ll be filling out all the info I need the sitter to know once again. It really is a very handy tool and I’m sure never to forget anything that needs to be written down for him. I give this product five stars in my book. Grab yours today!

cross-posted from the so called me
It’s Blog Day! It’s my first year doing this. I only heard about it through the PPP postie blog. I had never heard of it before and decided to give it a look. It’s really rather interesting. And a great idea in my opinion. Now, you’re probably wondering, “Well, what is Blog Day?”. Well, to quote the official website:
BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.
So, with that said, here are my five blogs for all my readers to check out.
- Mike is a great writer/blogger/dude. And he often blogs about all the great stuff bloggers can find out on the net and all kinds of other awesome stuff. He has an awesome web comic as well. I personally think it’s adorable, but you can see for yourself and form your own opinion on how cute it is.
- I’ve been visiting Malin’s sites for a while. She recently turned what I believe was a web directory into a personal blog. She’s opened other sites since then as well. Malin has all kinds of cool content on her site. And she reads a lot of great books too.
- I’ve been reading Heather’s blog for a while now, and I have to say I am jealous. I could never blog as well as she does. And I love to read all the opinions she has on stuff. I personally could never blog my opinions. I’m afraid someone I know will read them. *stares at in-laws*
- I just found a blog a while ago. I think I was referred to it for something I was working on. And I saw that Mike posted about an article on it as well. Which is the exact article I was shown. Court writes about several things in the blogging world. How to get linked, how to make money and more. It’s all very interesting. And I try to keep up to date on it all.
- Amy is a mom life myself. She also has her own mommy blog as well as a personal site. I’m not that talented or focused, but I admire her for doing it. She also has another blog that was given to her that she writes in about blogging tips. Someday I’ll be just like her. But not anytime soon!
That’s it for my Blog Day post.
Be sure to check out who other participants are blogging about.
