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.

This is another reality TV show that I love! The season is over, but you can catch all of their reruns on the Discovery Channel. You would think watching fishing would be boring. However, it is anything but! Each week I sat on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen. Would anybody get hurt? How would the greenhorns handle the brutality of the Bering Sea?

My two favorite boats have to be the Northwestern and the Cornelia Marie. The deckhands on those boats make it interesting to watch. You truly care what happens to these men.

If this is not a show you have seen, make a point to watch at least one episode. It will make you realize that your job isn’t so bad.
