Viking Toys

My 17 month old son has been pushing his Viking cars all over our house from the time he was able to sit up. Since he has been playing with these, he has learned to distinguish four different colors as well as learn the difference between a "car" and "plane" etc.

Besides the ease of care and safeness of these toys, my wife and I have enjoyed watching our son improve his dexterity and make up his own games with the Viking toys. As opposed to other toys cars, the Viking vehicles roll straight when pushed. This feature may not sound impressive at first, but a toddler can become frustrated quite easily when something doesn't go the way they want it.

Here are some features that meet dad's stamp of approval:
- The toys come in their own reusable storage container with a securing lid.
- They come shaped like boats (that float in the tub) planes, helicopters, trains and cars.
- Well contructed plastic that is dishwasher safe and there are no "little parts" that break off
- The soft rubber tires will not leave marks on your floor
- The set is designed in four solid colors (green, red, blue and yellow) and because of the simple design, children can learn to differentiate the colors.

Viking Toys is a 25 year old Swedish company that manufactures high quality vehicles made of soft, pliable plastic. Besides being a safe, educational and fun product, Viking vehicles are a stress free toy for your children!

Nature's Baby Products

It's official. I am a bath-holic. I have always loved taking a bath, especially when the cold weather is coming or after a long shopping afternoon (I know, poor me!). I'm sure you will agree with me: there is nothing better than a bath to make you feel warm and cozy. Just when I thought it could not get better than that, it did! Lately my baths have become so merveilleux that even a tiny drop in temperatures is a good excuse to say: "Honey, for the next half hour, you'll find me in the bathtub…"

It all started when I discovered Nature's Baby Products two weeks ago. Our editor-in-chief, Meg, a.k.a. "big boss", delivered them to me…personally: a bottle of Shampoo-Body Wash with a Vanilla-Tangerine scent, a bottle of Conditioner with a Lavender-Chamomile scent and a bottle of Face and Body Moisturizer, all 100 % natural.
That same night I tried it on my baby. And that same night I became a fan of Nature's Baby Products. Everything about those products is a pleasure, a real treat.
- Like your baby, it is 100% natural.
- Like your baby, it smells lovely.
- Like your baby, it feels soft.
My baby's skin never felt so precious, her hair never looked so shiny. The texture of the lotion for instance is so delicate that it seems like your baby just took a milk bath. And it does not feel greasy at all! It I was so happy with my discovery that I immediately went online to know more about it.

So let me tell you a little bit about the story of those products.
Nature's Baby Products were created by Adena Surabian, a mom par excellence, because when there is a problem, she finds the solution. After her one-year-old daughter suddenly developed a rash all over her body, she tried for days to find out the origin of that rash. She searched the internet and discovered that many components contained in her baby's shampoo, body lotion, sunscreen, etc. were known as being potentially harmful. She thereby imagined a line of hair and skincare products only constituted with natural ingredients that would respect babies' perfect skin and hair. What happens next is called a success story for Adena as all the medias and even celebrities are fond of her products.

And that's how started my "addiction" to Nature's Baby Products (and how my bath-holism got worse). Because once I read that adults could use it too and discreetly took my baby's Shampoo-Body Wash bottle to use it on myself (Yes, I admit), there was no way I could use my old body wash again!

Baby Bella

Too cute! That sums up the latest toy to enter my house…the Baby Bella Inside/Out Rattle.

We all know rattles come in all shapes and sizes, but this one is by far the cutest. Made of a special plush material, and lovely pastel colors, this is a wonderful edition to any baby's toy chest. The best part about the Inside/Out Rattle is that you get three toys in one, such as…an adorable, lovable froggy…a sweet, silly ducky…and a well-constructed, musical rattle. This rattle will not only delight your baby, but will be a big hit with your toddlers, too! Another personal fav of mine is the cow/chicken. Want to start your collection of the entire animal kingdom? Check out all of Baby Bella's precious rattles.

Baby Bella has a wide selection of high-quality clothing, toys, keepsakes, and more...everything you've been looking for! Baby Bella items are designed to add elegance and beauty to the lives of children from birth through the toddler years.

Are you looking for that perfect shower gift? Look no futurer than Baby Bella. This online baby boutique has a knack of finding items that any new mom would love. Including some celebrity mom favorites too, such as Robeez soft soled shoes (a favorite of Ming-Na of ER), Trumpette Socks (a favorite of Gwen Stefani of No Doubt) and Baby Legs (a favorite of Tia Carrere of Dancing With The Stars).

We are sure that you will find something that you love or something for the one you love at Baby Bella!

Scrappy Notes

One of the definitions of "family" in my Webster's dictionary is "a group of things with some common feature". Well, my friends - I have discovered the trick to keep my group of things organized in a timely fashion. It is my new (and adorable) household calendar.

There are ample spaces to write in the individual responsibilities, lessons, appointments, activities, errands and tasks for each family member. This "to-do plan" is all contained in my Scrappy Notes Bow Calendar.

Jauntily tied with a grosgrain ribbon there are 60 perforated pages; it is so easy to glace at just one week at a time. I chose my calendar personalized with our family names under the stick faces. What fun to see those faces - all smiling at the same time! If you prefer a chore chart or a weekly time calendar that is also a great option from this company.

When you visit the Scrappy Notes web site you will be entranced with the choice of products. I just love the imaginative designs with embellishments of beautiful ribbons, rhinestones and glitter.

When you come to visit me - feel free to admire the new special addition, front and center on our refrigerator. I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!
