Can I say that I absolutely love this alarm clock? This is an alarm clock that every kid needs in their room. Kids as young as 3 can even use this!  Teach Me Time!  Talking Alarm Clock is an alarm clock, a teaching tool, and a nightlight!

How can it be all that?  Easy!  For kids that are 3-5, you are able to set the clock, and you can set it to be a yellow glowing nightlight.  Now, if you don’t want the kids getting up super early, you tell them they can’t get up till the clock light turns green.  Now, I didn’t think that would really work, but it does!  Well, it does for my four year old who thinks this clock is the greatest thing since sliced bread.  Now, for kids that are 5-7 years old, there is a talking game (which we tried to play with Madison, but it was pretty hit or miss for her.)  The alarm clock shows both digital and analog time, so it helps them learn to tell time.  I am hoping that if we keep working on it with Madison that she get it at some point.  Now, if your kids are over 7, the talking alarm clock works as a fully functioning alarm clock with a snooze button!

This alarm clock is a must have.  It has three different bezels (blue, pink, and yellow) that you can interchange.  This is not made with lead paint.  It has adjustable volume too.  You can even change the brightness of the nightlight.  For us, this alarm clock keeps my daughter in bed longer, and we love it.

Do you own an iPod? I do, and my biggest complaint is that I don’t always have a something to plug it into to listen. I don’t always want to use my headphone. Most of the docking stations that are out there are both expensive and huge. Most people, including myself, don’t have room for those. I also don’t want to be having to carry my docking station from room to room either. The Orbit is the answer. It weights less than 7 oz yet sounds just as good as any speaker you’ve ever used. It easily fits into a large pocket. It connects to iPods, MP3 players, laptops, and even has a 2.5 mm adapter for use with mobile phones! You don’t have to worry about having to find a plugin either — it takes just three AAA batteries which allow for up to 24 hours of straight playtime.

In my house, we use this in the kitchen.  I don’t have a lot of counter space, so we wanted something that was little yet still sounded good.  For us, the Orbit works perfect.  I love that I can easily take it into the living room with me too.  For a speaker this small, it has incredible sound.  It is actually quite impressive.  It even comes with a travel carrying case, so you can take this everywhere you go!  This makes both a great gift for yourself or any music lover you know!

I love love love this tote! I am so sick of having to carry a diaper bag around.  There are no stylish diaper bags either — trust me.  When I got this tote, I instantly fell in love with it (I took this picture when I first got it, hence the tag still being on there).  The fabric of the tote is both very cool looking and and very functional too.  It is actually made from upholstery fabrics, so you know it can handle the test of children and pretty much everything else you can throw at it. This is seriously the perfect briefcase, weekend bag, carry-on, sports bag, large purse, or a diaper bag/purse (like I use it).  The tote has reinforced handles, 5 interior pockets, magnetic closure and can be made with a vinyl bottom so you don’t have to worry where you set it down.  Now, I can get 5 diapers, wipes, Desitin, a change of clothes for Will (my one year old), a couple of toys, my wallet, my cell phone, and snacks in here and still have plenty of room.  I love that I can be fashionable and still have everything I need with me.

This is the perfect gift for the moms in your life (though I am pretty sure any woman in your life would like one of these totes).  Make sure you check out Sharp Hill Designs for all the different fabrics you can choose from.  There is definitely something there for everyone.

One of the puzzles that we have in our house that the kids have the most fun with is the ImagiPlay RainForest Puzzle. It is for ages 3 and up. However, my 4 year old and 1 year old both love it. Mommy loves it too.  This puzzle is made from rubberwood which is an earth friendly hardwood.  The part I love the most is that it is painted with lead free paint.  It is clearly labeled that way, and I don’t have to worry about Will (the one year old) sticking it in his mouth (love it, love it, love it!).  It is 18 pieces, so they can easily play with it together and not get into any fight.  We also were able to create many different scenes with the puzzle on my living room floor.  I love the fact that we can do that and also still make it into a puzzle.  It is very versatile and is great for your child’s imagination.  As you can see from the pictures below, I highly recommend this puzzle to any one with little ones.  They really will play with it for hours and hours.

I am a diehard Pampers fan.  My kids are pee machines, and no other diaper held up better than Pampers.  My favorite Pampers diapers have to be the Pampers Swaddlers.  Now, I am super excited to announce that Pampers has a new Swaddlers on the market.  They are called Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive.  These diapers are both hypoallergenic and very gentle for your babies skin. These are definitely for the little ones with super sensitive skin or were born with diaper rash (yes, I know children who it looked like were born with diaper rash). These are super soft diapers; it would be surprised if you could find another diaper out there soft like this. The absorb away liner is awesome. It truly does keep the wetness away from the baby’s little butt. The sides of this diaper are also ultra breathable and soft and stretchy. You can actually take the sides of the diaper and blow through them and still feel your breath. Why is this important? My kids would get pricky heat rashes where the sides are with other diapers — never with pampers. I have to think the breathablility helped prevented this. Though, I have to say that I think the most awesome part of these new diapers is the what I like to call “The Pee Indicator”. Nothing is more frustrating than when you can’t tell if they went in the diaper or not. It will look like it, but not feel like, and then you end up doing a poll of the room to see if you should change your little one. Pampers Wetness Indicator (that’s what they like to call it) is a strip on the outside of the diaper that changes from yellow to blue when your baby is wet. No more guessing!

Now, Pampers was kind enough to send me a pack of the Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive diapers to giveaway to one of my lucky readers!  This pack has 34 diapers in it and are a Size 2 (which is 12-18 lbs).  What do you have to do win this?

In the market for Window Treatments, Drapes, Valances, Swags, or Roman Shades? If you are, Fabric Workroom is definitely a place you should check out. I personally found their selection awesome and found several window treatments I would definitely put in my living room. They also have my favorite: free shipping. Shipping is always an obstacle for me to shop online, so when it is free, it makes me want to buy all the more. You can even get free swatches! I also like that everything is made in the US and that there are live specialists to answer any questions that I may have (it’s from 9 - 5 EST). Unless you live in CT, there is also no sales tax (which is awesome when you live in places like me who have 10.25% sales tax). Lastly, they have a Satisfaction Guarantee and a refer a friend program.  I know I will be checking out Fabric Workroom the next time I am looking for window treatments.
