Michelle Says

I grew up in a deeply religious house

and this took me home but with more

softness. My family was much more

strict. The book is chalk filled with

Nano Stories that bring about good

feelings and happy thoughts.

I loved that it was written in an

easy to read format that though

it is meant to be read to kids

can easily become an early reader

for them to tackle on their own a

few years later. The verse is

prevalent for each little story

and inspiring. The story is

perfect for young attention spans

and the prayer is so simple

any child can repeat it and

take something away from

the experience.

John Say's

I did not grow up in a religious

household and do not know any

of the verses of prayers but I

though it was cute and taught

good values and is great for

teaching kids what is right

and what is wrong. It is quick

to read too so even when I am

busy I can get in a story or two

and the story's are broken up

enough and vary just the right

amount where I can read as

long as or as little as I want

to my kids without them feeling

like we are stopping at a point

where they are left hanging.

The little prayers are cool

and to the point of be nice,

be good and other little

morals parents struggle

with teaching their kids

now a days.

I Love Aveeno so I was very excited to get a full sized bottle
of Aveeno's New Baby Essential Moisture Shampoo.It comes in
a simple bottle with a push up top that is easy to open, even with
slippery hands. To me it looked a little thick, more like a conditioner
then a baby shampoo but I thought, "hey, its new, let's give it a
whirl."






The label told me it was made with natural Wheat, and Oat, and
Vitamin but I would have liked to have known what kind of Vitamin.
It also says it is lightly scented and it was true to its word. The real
test would be to see if it could live up to its Tear-Free, Cleanses and
Conditions and Rinses Easily claim as it says on the bottom of the
bottle.






My worry was would what is what I consider dreamy be safe
and suitable for my little bundle of joy with much more sensitive
skin? Rowan has our family trait of fair skin, eyes and hair and
when you are born with that type of complexion it doesn't take
much to leave you red and blotchy or worse, rashy and itchy.
I have not been able to wear any jewelry other then 18 carat or
higher my whole life because of that. Do you know how bad it
sucked to be me in the 80's and not be able to wear one dangly
over sized earring. I could already see the tell-tail signs Rowan
would suffer the same fate since when ever she spilled some
formula on her chin or neck she has gotten a rash similar to
a diaper rash and I was a little worried this would do the same
to her.






The first time I used it I found out the smell was a little
bit stronger when mixed with warm water. Not bad, but
I am not sure I would qualify it as lightly scented. Rowan
seemed to like the fact it was a little thicker then her
Johnson's Baby Shampoo and I think it has to do with
the fact it wasn't as runny and since Shampoo's seem to be a
little colder then the water around them it kind of shocks
her when you put this first bit on her. With her old Shampoo
it starts to run right away so the cold spreads. This stuff
stays right where you put it and allows for you to get your
hands in there to warm it up right away.




I am not going to tell you there were doves and butter-
flys floating around with Julie Andrews singing in the back-
ground for Rowan is not a bath lover and no matter how great
a product is her fussing is going to make it enjoyable.
BUT- the Aveeno Worked great Cleaned her up in a snap.
Just the right amount of suds and rinsed off super easy and
more importantly clean. No residue.



After rinsing her I held my breath ( Really, I did!) and
brought her to her room to get dressed. I was waiting for
her skin to turn blotchy and hit a shade of red that is not
humanly possible. Guess what? It didn't! I could not
believe my eyes. I will definitely buy this again for that
reason alone. How can you not love a product that does
just what it says it does?


The only draw back is the price. Like most Aveeno
items it is on the steep side. It can be found at most
retail locations and drug stores for around 5 dollars.
About 2 dollars more then her old brand but to me
it is worth it. The old saying holds true in this case.




"You get what you pay for!"







I give this a big two thumbs up


and Rowans review is five pacifiers!

I don't know if you are familiar with Fashion


Playtes but it is an awesome site. I have been on

it for the last hour going nuts with the designs.

What Fashion Playtes would be considered is

a girls clothing store where you design the clothes!

How cool is that?







You have your choice of several items that are

a blank canvas and then you add the color, trim,

pattern and many other add ons to make it one of

a kind and all yours! This would make THE BEST

Christmas present for any young lady with a flair

for style. There are even accessories and you can

save your designs to the site and developer your

own fashion profile. I can see my 12 year old

step daughter living on this site.



Think about it, Girls love Clothes!



Think about it, Girls love to be themselves!



This place let's them do both things at once!



They even have a place on the site where the

girls can show off their stuff to other girls!

Their very own portfolio!



Did I mention this would make a great

gift?



I was so excited when I saw this site

and could not stop designing my own

goods, now if I can get off the computer

long enough to let the kids play!

This weeks featured Web site
happens to be the site who gave me
my first product to review. Wee
Squeak Shoes!






Wee Squeak Shoes has a large
selection of shoes for young boys
and girls. All of them are durable,
comfortable, reasonably priced
and best of all adorable. They just
added a new line for 24 months and
under called Beibi and they are even
cuter then the ones made for older
children. I didn't think that could happen!







No matter what the style, the occasion
or the reason, Wee Squeak has a shoe
just for your little one. The fact they
squeak is a their hallmark and other
then the Beibi line all of their shoes
include one. Best of all you can remove
it if your child happens to be squeaking on
your last nerve.







They have some great deals going on
right now like the buy 3 pairs and get free
shipping and also offer gift certificates for
one stop, no fuss no muss Holiday shopping!
Zip on over and check out their line for they
have a little something for everyone!

With The Holidays fast on our heels it is
the time of year when everyone thinks of
the special people in their lives. A card,
a letter or another form of Holiday greeting
has always been the traditional way of letting
them know you care! While getting my own
list ready I found a site that merges our own
Holiday tradition and adds a modern flair.
Trendy new styles, hot themes and layouts,
add some photos of your own family or
go with the classics Paper Culture has a card
for everyone and every idea.
    They even go as far as giving you your own
professional designer to help you with your selections.
How can you go wrong?
Go ahead and check them out!
Oh, and I forgot the best part, for no extra cost
besides the price of a stamp they will send the cards
out for you! Just order and relax!
