This is another unique toy from Oh! Toys.  I think my husband was just as excited to play with this as Madison.  This too is for ages 3 and up.  However, this does come with marbles, so if you have kids younger than three, you need to be very careful (the rule here is that Madison can’t play with this unless Will is napping).

Again, this is another toy that I like, because it makes my kids think. It requires them to think and do problem solving using creativity.  There are no bells and whistles; yet, Madison played with this for a good two hours the first day we took it out of the box.  Basically, what you do is make a track for the marble to work its way down. Right now, Madison is making pretty basic tracks with it. However, daddy did help her make a more intricate system like this one:

Also, clean up is awesome.  All of these pieces fit nicely into a bag that comes with it!  You don’t have to worry about how you are going to get all the pieces back in perfectly so you can close the box.  I also love that this is a toy that Madison can grow into.  Right now, she is only making very basic designs.  However, as she gets older, I know her designs will get more intricate.  This will also make it through the wear and tear of several children too.  It is made with good quality materials.  TheCugolino set contains 37 pieces and is 100% compatible with cuboro’s classic system.

With everything being on the internet nowadays, it really seems like you need a password for almost everything you do. Now, for security reason, you should not use the same password twice, make it with both numbers and letters, and you should change your passwords at least every six months.  I don’t know about you, but I belong to several places that I need passwords for, and it is seriously hard to figure out how to keep it all straight.  This is where the Internet Password Organizer comes to the rescue. Why should you use the Internet Password Organizer?  First, no one can hack into it on you.  Nothing is worse than having your computer compromised and the hackers being able to get into everything.  This provides you with a single centralized location in which to store all your online account login information, and the tabbed sheets makes it super easy to find what you are looking for.  Also, I have had my hard drive fail.  If that is the only place you have your passwords saved, you are in big trouble.  This notebook is also very discrete.  Without opening it, most people won’t even know what’s in it.  It also is better than sticky notes all over your computer monitor (now, I know lots of people who do this).  There is even sections that allow you to put in your ISP information, your email settings, your wireless network and router information, and any software licenses you have.

Now, I know a lot of you are wanting one of these, so I will be giving one of these to two lucky winners! Here’s what you need to do:

1. Leave a comment on this post. Go check out the Internet Password Organizer and tell me what feature you would like the best and/or why you want this.
2. Twitter about this contest. Please leave me your username so I can verify.

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?

Each one of these things will give you one entry:

1. Leave a comment on this post. I want to know why you would like to try these diapers.
2. Twitter about this contest. Please leave me your username so I can verify.
3. Stumble this post. If you don’t know what Stumble Upon is, please read Lori’s post at Blogging Cents. She explains it extremely well.

Yes, you heard it right.  I am completely jealous of all of you, since I only got one of these to borrow!  The Sony Digital Photo Frame is worth about $249.99, so this is a giveaway you want enter!

Let me tell you a little bit about this frame.  It is a 9-inch digital photo frame with 800×480 resolution and 15:9 aspect ratio LCD screen.  It has 512MB of internal memory with optional image resizing to maximize the internal memory.  It also includes HDMI output for viewing photos in high definition on an HDTV.  You are able to auto correct images with features such as red-eye correction.  It also offers nine slide show styles and clock and calendar modes.  Now, I know that all sounds difficult to figure out what to do.  However, I was able to do this all without reading the manual!  This digital picture frame is even BlueTooth ready!  You can also run the pictures off several different kinds of memory cards:  Memory Stick media and Memory Stick PRO Duo media, SD, MMC, CF, Microdrive, and xD Picture cards. I seriously could not believe how crisp these pictures are.  I am seriously sad that I have to venture over to Fed Ex on Monday and send mine back.

Now, I know you don’t want to read about how much fun we had playing testing this out for you, my readers, so . . . . what do you have to do to get one of these in your house?
