The Backyardigans did it again with Jungle Colors. They are able to take something that could be considered boring to children and make it exciting and interesting. They are learning without even realizing it! The cool thing about the Backyardigans is that their adventures really take place in their back yard, but through their imagination they able to go anywhere from the Outer Banks to the Jungle. As you can tell, this story takes place in the jungle. While reading about their adventures, they include the colors of some of the things they are doing. For example, they are walking over white stones and seeing a blue river. The pages are cardboard so it is a great book for babies and toddlers alike.

I am little worried about what kind of hits I’ll get with a title of a book like this, but I love Underwear Dos and Donts. It is one of the funniest little kid books ever (and as you can tell from a lot my prior posts, I own a ton of kid books). Plus, it does teach your kids to wear their underwear! The colors are bright and will keep their attention. The story is short and to the point. It tells you how to and how not to wear your underwear. For example, you should not wear your underwear over your Halloween costume! As an adult, I found it hard not to giggle at this book. It gets 2 thumbs up from me.

You all know my fascination with T-shirts with great sayings on them. Well, Monkey Groupie Tees & More is another place I can get my fix. Not only do they have an easily navigable site, they have some great T-shirts as well. I personally love this one:

It makes me laugh. Now, they have a ton of sayings to pick from. The part I absolutely love about this site is that once you pick your saying, you have several options of what to do. You can get a T-shirt in several different styles and colors. You are also able to get boxer short, hats, sticker, coffee mugs, and thongs. They are reasonably priced too. Also, make sure you check out the product information on each shirt. It tells you the thickness of the shirts and how it should fit you. For example, my shirt should be: Not too tight, not too loose. Love it!

I also like this shirt for Madison:

You can even get that in a onsie, a teddy bear, a magnet, and a ton of other stuff.

This is your one stop shop for all your needs. They carry babies, kids, adults, and plus size T-shirts. I highly recommend checking them out.

Both my kids loved their baby swings. The one we had with Madison has a crank on it which stinks to use. When we went to buy one for Will, we had a few ideas of what we wanted. Most of all, it could not be crank. The swing we ended up buying was the Fisher-Price Open-Top Cradle Swing.

I love this swing and so does Will. It rocks two different directions. The seat itself has several recline positions too. The swing will swing at 6 different speeds. On the very top, there is a mobile. You also can play music and there is two different music choices. The colors on the swing are very neutral, so they blend in quite nicely with your living room.

We have been using this swing since Will was born. He likes to nap in it. I love it, because it allows me to get things done around the house. Pricewise, it was middle of the road. It wasn’t the cheapest swing, but it wasn’t the most expensive either. If you are in the market for a swing, I highly recommend this one.
