Customer rating 5.0/5.0 <br />
March 6, 2017 By Pr Results Christine Attalla <br />
<br />
Absolutely the best choice in nail clippers for any parent of a newborn! I can definitely understand why these bear the "Hospital's Choice" logo on the front of the packaging. The astute and ergonomic design are applaudable and the extra-large, soft-touch handle have made the Safety 1st Steady Grip Nail Clippers my absolute must-have and most suggested product to fellow parents! These have definitely given this mom one less worry. Thank you so much Safety 1st, for truly caring about the little things! <br />

Ever since my son was born, my hair had become thinner, it had lost its bounce and had become a growing obstacle in my beauty routine. I desperately missed my wash-n-go, forgiving locks I had taken for granted pre-child and searched for years for a solution to my hair challenges and it has finally happened! After a few weeks I definitely began to feel a change in the texture and fullness of my hair and now after continued use, I couldn't be happier with the results! Ultrax Labs contributes the shampoo's "unrivaled results" to its "caffeinated compounds which are integrated with essential oils and ketoconazole." Thank you for commitment and research. I have my gorgeous locks back but Ultrax Labs Hair Surge | Caffeine Hair Loss Hair Growth Stimulating ShampooI will never take them for granted again!<br />

<b>(Just Please....Make them AVAILABLE in Stores!)</b><br />
<br />
Anyone have suggestions on obtaining a cool Dixie cup dispenser for my four year old and one for my bathroom as well? I see some Mickey Mouse ones and plastic marble looking ones on eBay but they all seem to be "vintage" and WAY over priced!<br />
<br />
I found a Shrek one, $14.50 shipping, really?<br />
<br />
Mickey Mouse....$25.00 buy it now.<br />
<br />
My search did lead me to Dixie's Reward Program via facebook so my search wasn't a total waste of time - perhaps a special offer for a special design will show up in my mailbox; you never know!<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/DixieProducts/app_215139081951672">https://www.facebook.com/DixieProducts/app_215139081951672</a><br />
<br />
I settled on a Spongebob design for around $5. Frugal, I know. Especially for something that I will see and we will use every day. But I just want to be impressed - this is Dixie cup - I think they have been around long enough to have a lot more (readily) available in stores....don't you?<br />

I cannot say enough great things about the DVD series produced by Scholastic that integrates time tested and approved children's stories into visual masterpieces and allows children to read along with the video. I feel no guilt when my children engage in these educational and inspirational videos and always look forward to the opportunity to review the company's latest releases.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

When you can, build and build your collection that will never get old to them. You can find pre-viewed copies of Scholastic movies on Amazon as well for a bit less but even purchasing new, worth every dime! Great holiday gift as well not only for your own child but any child in your life. <a href="http://www.newkideo.com/scholastic/caldecott-favorites-featuring-the-snowy-day-3-pk-dvd/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><b>Retails for less than $25.</b></span></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We have all heard and know that reading to our children, even at a young age, encourages learning, language development and a lifetime of reading enjoyment for our kids. But as I was reading about this book and iPad application series called Sock N Boots, something about the characters, the company's mission and the content referring to fueling a child's imagination and bonding with your child, really caught my attention.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I spoke to the company founder and creator, D.K. Smith, and he described the company's mission as "encouraging discussions between parent and child and creating a bonding experience between parent and child." The discussions that result from reading the book together will be about right-and-wrong and helping your child to overcome fears or social challenges such as being afraid of the dark, staying safe outside of the home and more. The morning after my review book arrived, I nestled down with my little guy and we had so much fun! The colorful artwork, charming characters and rhyming short stories kept his attention and even I had a good time reading the stories. It was definitely a bonding experience I will do more often thanks to the book and the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SockandBoots?sk=app_4949752878" target="_blank">iPad application </a>(only 99 cents)!</span><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sock-n-boots/id472964592?mt=8">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sock-n-boots/id472964592?mt=8</a><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>What I love most is that Socks is always getting into trouble. This was me as a child. So under-stimulated, so curious...I meant no harm but always managed to cause chaos and interrupt everyone else! Thankfully, he has a friend called Boots who helps keep him out of trouble.</i></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mr. Smith, recommends that the readers (parent/teacher/friend) bring the story to life with lively narration, sharing and pointing to pictures and truly enjoying the experience alongside the child. I have to agree with this advice! Recently I started reading "Buzz Goes the Bee" which my 2 1/2 year old and it didn't matter what I was actually saying - as long as I enunciated it, shrugged my shoulders and intensely said, "The Bee Just Sat!" - he would laugh and giggle so hard with eyes wide open. I found the same thing to be true as I read Sock n Boots with him over the weekend so thank you for the reminder!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The hot news is that there is now a Sock n Boots iPad app too! There are lots of features including a choice of three lessons that you can listen to with Auto Play, choose to have the narrator read it out loud to you and your child or it will give you the option to read it to yourself and interact with the book by touching on items. A coloring book is also available that offers letters and numbers for coloring while the narrator spells out the color or number. The "Write Your Own Story" feature allows you to write words and record your own voice using the pre-existing illustrations. Save your story alongside the other stories and post it to parent's facebook page.</span><br />

He was sort of mellow and hugging me as if he was truly empathizing with the child in the video who didn't have the courage to ask the other children if she could join them in a soccer game. Or that he felt the relief when the boy figures out a lifelong way to stay connected to his friend that is moving away.</span></div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br />

Jim is a child development specialist, having completed his graduate studies in child development at the Erikson Institute of Chicago with a special emphasis on the study of play. For this reason, each of Jim’s recordings and books is created as an opportunity for playful interactions between a child and a caring adult.</span></span></div><div style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Nothing says it better than the music itself. Words are insufficient. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The best I can do is to try to convince you that your children need a healthy, age-appropriate musical diet. They need creative, thought-provoking, movement-inspiring, engaging music play experiences. And no one, I said no one, does it better than Jim Gill. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Forget about passively feeding them Mozart.

Scholastic has continued to do me the honor of reviewing its educational and timeless treasures over the last few years and I thank them. We have enjoyed the DVDs and will continue to do so as he grows. If you are unfamiliar with the collection, it is a library of classic "Treasures" that allow you to read along on screen with your child as the story lines are captured vividly on the screen. </span><br />

This DVD contains 18 beautifully illustrated stories in English and Spanish.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua"; font-size: 11.0pt;">What I liked most for my son is that while we watched the video he seemed to interact with it instead of staring at the TV.

Just as they do at a Debbie and Friends show, kids are invited to sing along with the cartoon music videos. ‘Viewers are not sitting back and zoning out, but rather they are active participants with the music.’” <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br />

He is just determined to take each one out of the case – throw it to the side – and then open and shut the case. As a result, I cannot seem to ever locate our Lion King DVD first thing in the morning, or his favorite Michael Jackson CD after lunch. And when my son is ready to dance…oh boy had I better be prepared!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;">So I went on a search for a way to organize his movies and CDs without having to use the plastic cases since most are damaged now anyway. I also wanted a system that could be expanded throughout the years and helped me to find his favorite movie or CD at a moments notice – and usually with one hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lyrv4swp45k/TUnQQQY8TmI/AAAAAAAAAK0/w9laLdESGak/s1600/decorative_cases.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lyrv4swp45k/TUnQQQY8TmI/AAAAAAAAAK0/w9laLdESGak/s200/decorative_cases.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;">And I have finally found it! <a href="http://mmdesign.com/">MMDesign</a> has a whole line of media organization products including these adorable <a href="http://mmdesign.com/decorative-storage.php">Home Décor cases</a> which I hope to get someday for my bedroom. But my choice for my son’s collection is the DiscSox trays and sleeves.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;">I chose one <a href="http://www.mmdesign.com/products/tray-snap-dvd-pro.php">DVD Pro Snap-Fit Tray</a> and one <a href="http://www.mmdesign.com/products/tray-snap-cd-pro.php">CD Pro Snap-Fit Tray</a> which both come in clear plastic. I then added a 25-pack of their (environmentally-friendly) </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="http://www.mmdesign.com/products/dvd-pro-poly-sleeve.php">DiscSox® DVD Pro Sleeves</a> and a 25-pack of their <a href="http://www.mmdesign.com/products/cd-pro-sleeve.php">CD Pro Sleeves</a> which are constructed of 100 percent recyclable polypropylene. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lyrv4swp45k/TUnRiL-x8BI/AAAAAAAAAK4/uGfd02A2TNE/s1600/dvd_pro_snap_fit_kit_tn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lyrv4swp45k/TUnRiL-x8BI/AAAAAAAAAK4/uGfd02A2TNE/s1600/dvd_pro_snap_fit_kit_tn.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;">As it turns out, my products arrived yesterday and we awoke here in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chicago</st1:place></st1:city> to two feet of snow. The timing was perfect for me to sit down and organize everything today…the Perfect Snow Day Project! And one that I will surely be so glad I completed for many snow days to come!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;">I am about half-way done organizing my son’s collection and just love the system! I really like that the artwork from the CDs and DVDs slip into the DiscSox sleeves for easy reference. And the alphabetical tabs help me locate my media fast!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;">Other benefits I found with the system include the reduction in storage space. <a href="http://mmdesign.com/">MMDesign</a> says you can reclaim up </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;">to 75 percent of your storage space when compared to keeping the DVDs and CDs in their original packaging. I also definitely feel like the discs are much better protected than before and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the DVD Pro Sleeves hold two discs so my children’s movies that contain both a movie and a CD/soundtrack have a great way to be stored now!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;"><br />

There are <a href="http://www.mmdesign.com/products/tray-snap-ext-cd-pro.php">extension kits</a> available to elongate the trays and I can add more trays down the road.

<span style="font-size: 10px;"><span style="font-size: 11px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lyrv4swp45k/TUnLijNNDOI/AAAAAAAAAKw/7oOUtmzcPjQ/s1600/email+case.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lyrv4swp45k/TUnLijNNDOI/AAAAAAAAAKw/7oOUtmzcPjQ/s200/email+case.bmp" width="200" /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10px;"><span style="font-size: 11px;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"></span></span></span><span style="font-size: 13px;">Hand-crafted from the finest exotic woods from around the globe, the line has been expanded to include engraved designs ranging from Avantgarde to Copacabana. These sensible, wooden cases have a minimal carbon footprint due to their environmentally-friendly materials and because they are biodegradable. Due to the hand craftsmanship, no two cases are exactly the same.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The exotic wood types range from Sonokeling and Gmelina from the jungles of Indonesia, to hard Jackfruit and even Teak, which is the fastest regenerating wood on earth. Cases are precisely crafted for easy access to all buttons, phone features and ports without having to snap on and off for use. These woods have a natural ability to absorb a tremendous amount of shock, resulting in impregnable protection for your device.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Unlike other wood cases on the market, AccessoryGeeks' TPhone cases are made from one piece of wood so they are not glued together in pieces, resulting in additional durability. These covers emit subtle, natural wood scent that will eliminate unpleasant odors in your bags or pockets. Each case comes with two screen protectors.</span>Christine Attallahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07051893771472124247noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755127612123467506.post-55976966392885408482011-01-26T17:58:00.001-08:002011-01-26T17:58:50.316-08:00Amazon Store for MomsChristine Attallahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07051893771472124247noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755127612123467506.post-48610188745570626702010-12-01T10:43:00.000-08:002010-12-01T11:56:11.385-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lyrv4swp45k/TPaoPiqh3GI/AAAAAAAAAKY/DXcOpB7bAY4/s1600/brushbuddiessml1.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 70px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lyrv4swp45k/TPaoPiqh3GI/AAAAAAAAAKY/DXcOpB7bAY4/s200/brushbuddiessml1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545804976110034018" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Brush Buddies: My Son's New Best Friend!</span></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">When my son FINALLY cut his first tooth at 14 months, I began my search for the best toothbrush to get him started on his Rite of Passage into the world of tooth-ownership and caring for them morning and night. The toothbrush needed to be engaging, fun, and of course, clean his teeth well.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">I came across <a href="http://www.brush-buddies.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Brush Buddies</span></span></a>™ during this research and was thrilled when they offered to send me one for a test run! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">From the moment I opened the package, I knew that Brush Buddies was a company that kept busy moms in mind because even the packaging was easy to open, which is pretty rare with children items these days. I pulled open the plastic back and simply handed it to my son and watched him run off with it. The amazing part is that he knew how to brush his teeth. He moved it back and forth and enjoyed using it for nearly an hour! We have quickly added brushing our teeth into our night bedtime routine.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">The children's educational toothbrush features a dog character on the front and a small button that is pushed to activate an amusing voice that educates and encourages your child about healthy brushing habits. The voice continues for two minutes - the recommended brush time - and guides your child through brushing each section of their teeth, starting with the upper teeth and switching to the lower teeth after the first minute, and finally ending with encouraging words about the great job they did! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">I am definitely recommending this product for all of my readers.
