From personal experience I've seen that it's never too early to start teaching a kid. With that philosophy, I bought my son his first SoftPlay book when he was around 6 months of age and he just loved it. Unfortunately we lost that beloved book while traveling. But since that time, I've become a firm fan of SoftPlay's ever-growing line of award-winning books and interactive products.
My son, who's currently in love with all things that move (especially cars and trains) totally loved one of their new Lift and Look soft foam books - Things that Go! He had great fun learning by lifting out the soft, lift-out pieces that are featured the book and which reveal other things that go (in the air, on water, on wheels, etc)! The shiny, foil-enhanced pictures and fun, interactive approach to learning are not only delightful but also keeps my active little son busy - and quiet - for quite a while!

SoftPlay is the leading producer of early language development interactive cloth books and felt playsets for infants and toddlers. And I've been their fan ever since I bought my son his first book at age 6 months. He's now learning his letters and numbers and what better to do it with than one of SoftPlay's Lift and Look: Numbers books!
Shoes are a must and frequent buy when you have growing kids in the house. That doesn't mean I should go bankrupt trying to keep my kids feet warm, safe and comfortable. Unfortunately, cheaper shoes don't always make the cut, both looks and comfort-wise. That's where Bugaloo Shoes comes in! In fact that's their whole philosophy:Bugaloo is a company with aspirations to greatness. It is the brainchild of a young graphic designer valiantly attempting to circumvent the 9am-5pm drudgery and her brother, who excels in marketing. The philosophy behind my creative endeavor is quite simple:My kid's feet are warm and comfortable this holiday season in the Bluebirds shoes and here are some reasons why I Love these great shoes :
- Quality baby shoes should cost under $20.
- Baby shoes should not only be cute, but unique and trendy as well.
- Donate 5% of each sale to the International Justice Mission, an organization that fights sex and slave trafficking across the world.
Holidays mean guests. And when I have people over, I get over-busy making sure everything is neat and nice, the decorations all spic and span, the floors spotless and so on. Especially the guest bedroom which I love to spruce up so my guests are comfortable and at the same time, impressed :) Since the spare comforter was looking a bit shabby, this year I thought I'd get something new. And as is my habit now, I went to Shop.com to see who had the best deals around. 
FoldTuk is actually the first and only collapsible bakeware that can be used in conventional, convection, infrared, and microwave ovens due to its Green and petroleum free Ceramber material. It is airtight, stackable, dishwasher safe, and naturally nonstick (No non-stick coating applied), making it your most functional bakeware and cold storage container.I received the
FoldTuk Rectangular Collapsible Bakeware and Storage Container in Orange for review. It's supposed to be used virtually anywhere - oven, freezer, microwave. You name it! So I decided to put it to test.
The year is fast winding down to a close. But there are still some good car deals to be had.

My son is currently in his rebellious phase and tantrums and time-outs are becoming a regular feature. Not to surprisingly, this has sparked an interest in him trying to tell time on his own by looking at the clock (all so he can figure out when his time out period is up and he can get back to his mischief - I know, I can tell!). But spotting the sliver lining, and an opportunity to teach him something new, I introduced him to SoftPlay'sWhat Time Is It? book. 
The big book has a brightly colored play clock in the center (two moveable hands and all) and pages which below in which a child is taught everything from minutes, the movements of the hands, what it means as the clock moves from one number to another and more. There are also multiple time disks provided in which a clock is shown pointing to all the different times. To make it interactive, questions are posed to the young reader in subsequent pages and to answer them, a child to locate the correct disk and place it in the empty clock face.
I've been in a decorating frenzy recently. Everything from bathroom curtains to bedding and more are in the throes of being changed. So I thought, why neglect the Kitchen? My beautiful towels have been quite worn out, thanks to my children who are walking, talking mess-creators. So I decided to spruce up this part of my home as well.

The Hardwood Stacker - Circles I got to check out is ideal for a growing baby whose curiosity always begins with the mouth. It's sanded satin smooth and a light beeswax and Original beeswax finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood. And, I don't need to panic when my baby puts it in her mouth, sucks it or chews it thoughtfully with her toothless-gums. Moreover, this Maple and Walnut Stacking Set promotes imagination while building fine motor skills for both infants and toddlers. The blocks can be arranged in any configuration on the column which allows children to develop creativity and pattern recognition. These stackers are also available in square and triangle shapes.
The Slow Race: Book & Puzzle set is simple, yet extremely clever and loads of fun for all! The story was designed to introduce some of the ways in which three simple shapes can be organized to form a wide variety of people, animals and objects. This is not only fun, but also deeply educational, as it increases the capacity for both creativity and geometric thinking. While reading the story, children and adults alike arrange and fit the blocks in the shapes pictured. After reading the story a new story of ones own can be made by tracing new shapes on paper and creating ones own book. From flowers to animals to the moon, the creation of objects is limited only by the imagination. Not to mention, it's a great way for the family to spend time together, flexing their mental muscles without the aid of any electronics.
If you order one, let me know your thoughts!The Living Christmas Company (www.livingchristmas.com) is a Los Angeles based business that provides eco-friendly options for the holiday season, including a tree-rental program where living Christmas trees are rented by a Los Angeles family for the holiday season (the trees are alive, fresh and potted – not cut – and are delivered to/from a home or office) and maintained throughout the year for use in the next holiday season – a very sustainable way of celebrating the holidays.
With the revamped website’s new interactive features, fun holiday humor and easy to use online ordering system (customers choose delivery and pick up dates), this is the first living Christmas tree rental company in the nation to handle orders through the web. Of course, customers can still expect Santa hat clad “elves” to show up for tree delivery and pick up.

My toddler is growing up fast and now has an opinion on everything :
Holidays are the one time of the year I miss my being with my extended family which is scattered all over the world. And with the different time zones and the distances, we don't get to connect as frequently as we'd like. Parcels and care packages are one of the ways we still keep in touch. And the service we all love to use and which has proved truly reliable time and again is none other than FedEx! 
As I'd blogged last week, Kmart has brought back Bluelight Specials. There are many great Bluelight Specials throughout the weekend in-store, and other great offers online at Kmart.com, too, only on Saturdays and Sundays.
John Lennon once wrote, “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” For three men entering the second act of their lives, those words are starting to hit home. The show follows three longtime friends - played by Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond) Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap, Star Trek: Enterprise) and Andre Braugher (Homicide: Life on the Street) – as they navigate the changes and challenges of mid-life.
MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE explores the unique bonds of male friendship among three men experiencing the changes and challenges of mid-life. They have been best friends since college but now, in their 40s, are navigating through the second act of their lives. Joe (Romano) is a friendly, slightly neurotic, recently separated father of two who had dreams of being a professional golfer. Now he owns and runs a party store. Terry (Bakula) is a laid-back, handsome actor who seems to breeze through life (and women). Lately, he’s spending more time working as a temp than as an actor. And Owen (Braugher) is an overstressed husband and father of three who endures constant criticism from his father, for whom he works as a car salesman. 
These friends face very different challenges. Joe, who currently lives in a hotel, tries to connect with his kids and is dipping his toe in the dating pool, while also struggling with the gambling problem that may have ended his marriage. The unmarried Terry scoffs at domestic issues but sometimes wonders if his own single life is all it’s cracked up to be. Owen does everything he can to climb the sales board at his father’s car dealership and keep his cool over the seemingly endless renovation project in the home he can barely afford. Through it all, these men are there for each other when it counts.
