Protecting Our Baby’s Skin

There is absolutely nothing that can compare to the softness of a baby’s skin. Of course, it can also be some of the most sensitive skin out there and we must do all we can to protect it. Just look at the beautiful skin on our little grandbaby as she runs through the pumpkin patch. You can see that it was a beautiful sunny day too!

When my daughter-in-law was pregnant, I gave her a shower gift of the best baby washes and lotions that I could find. I think it’s very important to use hypoallergenic products on babies as well as products made with the highest standards. That’s exactly what you get with the baby products from Mustela.Mustela SunscreenOur little one lives in California where the sun shines more often than not which means, it’s not only important to have quality bathing products and lotions, but suncare is a must. I like the water-resistant cream from Mustela which has an SPF of 50. It has aloe vera and vitamin E among its ingredients and is, of course, hypoallergenic.  This product provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays and utilizes the reflective qualities found in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.I know that our little one and her family love to spend time outdoors so I may just have to place this lotion in her little Christmas stocking!  I also really like the Squeaky Clean Gift Set for the bath, so they may find that under their tree.

Whether you are expecting a baby or have a new baby in the house, you may want to visit the “Parent’s Corner” at the Mustela website. You’ll find tips and advice for taking care of you and your little one as well as product tips.

Sex and The City

I just heard the news that a sequel to the first Sex and The City movie is in the works.   Kim Cattrell was being interviewed in the United Kingdom and let it slip that a 2nd movie was in the works.  This is fantastic news for all SITC fans and should be too surprising considering how well the first movie did at the box office as well as in DVD sales..

According to Cattrell, the movie will be in the works next summer.

How about you, are you a fan of Sex and the City?

Kmart Still Does Layaway!

I’ve been noticing the new Kmart television ads recently and it got me to thinking, is Kmart the only retailer that still does layaway? I do believe it is, and, if so, what a great advantage for Kmart! This is a great service and, in this down economy, it’s a great convenience for shoppers, especially for the holidays.

Think about it, many parents all ready know the big ticket items that their kids want this year and yet, we wait to purchase that item because we are saving up the money for it. Then, when we finally have the money for the most wanted item that our kids want, it’s sold out, can’t find it anywhere. Layaway allows us to place the item on “hold” with a small down payment and small payments over an 8 week period of time. In other words, we parents can relax because we have our kids most wanted items on reserve and know that Christmas morning, there will be smiles all around. I’m thinking that a few Wii games will be perfect for me to put on Kmart Lay-Away now and not have to worry about them being in stock as the holidays get closer. The popular video games always end up being hard to find after Thanksgiving.

Another great reason to use layaway? Kmart stores your gifts for you, so you don’t have to hide them around the house and hope that your snooping children don’t find them! Truly, layaway allows the buyer to purchase items over time without putting it on a credit card and get charged high interest rates. I personally think it’s fabulous!Click Here

Pet Photos

So, I’m still thinking about all these photos I’ve got loaded on my two computers and wondering how I can possible narrow down to come up with the cutest one to submit to a contest. I could sure use some prize money, so I’m going to have to give this some serious thought. Here is just a small sampling of the photos I have of Plinko, our puggle.
