Sittercity Coupon Code
We’ve been Sittercity fans for years. After receiving a trial membership for review, I’ve renewed several times and we now have a promo code for our readers for $20 OFF.
Sittercity is a service that allows you to sort through potential sitters by distance, types of services, certifications, skills, and more. I can quickly get a sense of whether or not a candidate is worth interviewing based on how carefully she fills out her profile and the reviews from other families. I’ve found this to be an efficient system for locating new babysitters–which leaves me more time to get my work done and enjoy my family.
Dressing Like a Disney Princess on the Red Carpet
The newest Disney Princess is set to make her DVD debut next week when the The Princess and the Frog is released on March.
In the meantime, we have glamor from Hollywood Royalty. Which of these fabulous designs may have drawn inspiration from the brave, bright, and bold, and always fashion-forward, Disney Princesses?
But the Adult in You Will Appreciate the Cinematography
Remember what it was like to be a kid? Not the carefree, chasing butterflies days but the no-one pays-attention-to-me-except-to-tell-me-I’m-all-wrong days? Two new DVD releases will send you right back there, complete with breathtaking views and knock-the-wind-out-of-you emotion. Neither The Fantastic Mr. Fox or Where the Wild Things Are is really a children’s film. Although both […]
HappyMELTS Make Baby Happy
We’re fans of the HAPPYBABY philosophy. Delicious, organic, nutrient-packed baby foods. HAPPYBABY partners with the eminent Dr. Robert Sears and dietician Amy Marlow to produce food that you can be confident about sharing with your baby.
Now they have come up with HAPPYMELTS, an organic, freeze-dried, yogurt snack, which is a great for toddlers if you can pry it out of mom’s hands.
I’m serious. I ate half the bag…
High (Side) Impact
After seeing firsthand how Britax car seats perform when really needed, I am incredibly thankful that we choose Britax and their “True Side Impact Protection”.
“According to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, approximately one in four of all motor vehicle crashes that involve children occur from the side, and these crashes result in a significantly higher injury rate than front or rear crashes.”
Britax sent us two new seats, including Advocate CS, a convertible toddler car seat. The advocate is very similar to the Boulevard CS, with an additional “Side Cushion Technology”…

Party with the Panda and Learn Languages
Learning another language is a big brain boost–plus it is tons of fun, too.
We’ve written before about the benefits of bilingualism. Watching a language video, like the ones from Little Pim, with your older toddler, preschooler, kindergartner, or grade-school age child can help boost proficiency–especially if you discuss the video with your child. And if you are not a native speaker, DVDs and CDs in foreign languages are absolutely essential as part of your language program…
Conserve and Preserve–One Bite at a Time!
We love the “new again” trend of packing school lunches in reusable containers–it is a little way even small children can push back against a society addicted to disposables. Plus, many of the containers like the ones at Kids Konserve are so eco-chic!
