The Belief That a Perfect Body Makes a Perfect Life | Body Image Pressures In Children

July 20, 2010

My Mother In Law recently told me about a conversation that she and my FIL had with my daughter, who is 5 years old. “Grandma and Grandpa, what do you want to be?” Grandma “You mean, when we grow up?” “Ya” Grandpa, “That’s easy – a Cowboy” “And you Grandma?” “Hmmm, I think I’d be an Heiress” “What’s that? “Well, it’s a woman who is very rich and sails on her yacht in the Mediterranean sea” “Oh….” {in thought} “But Grandma, I think you have to be thin to do that” ~~ Of course her Grandparents thought this was too [...]

ShooShoos for Summer!

July 20, 2010

ShooShoos has been a regular feature on My Organized Chaos over the past couple of years. And, they are a regular brand of footwear seen on my Twins feet since they were born, as well. I adored their soft soled shoes when they were babies, and now they sport the ShooShoos with the flexible rubber sole {and the cute smily face on the soles}. You will see me posting about ShooShoos more often this year, as I am joining 7 other bloggers as official ShooShoos Mom’s! {this opportunity offers you many chances for you to win a pair too!} For [...]

Bolts & Blip, New Canadian Kids Show on Teletoon | Toronto Studio Tour Contest

July 19, 2010

Just launched on Teletoon is a new Canadian-made show for kids aged 6-12, Bolts & Blip! It’s robot action in great animated detail, actually it’s the world’s first 3D animated stereoscopic HD TV series! And you can certainly tell when watching, fantastic animation! Take note parents that this action adventure starring robots is not at all violent. The robots in this new show ‘fights’ with water guns, and the only harm is getting rusty. The message conveyed to kids in Bolts & Blip is to find your inner strength and work as a team. My daughter got to watch a [...]

Organizing Space In a Bedroom

July 19, 2010

Lately I have done a ton of cleaning, organizing and rearranging in my home. Many things that the kids have outgrown and we don’t use have gone to donations. Why the sudden need to Spring clean in the summertime? I have been putting more thought into why I am putting certain things in certain areas, and optimizing space according to usage of items. For instance, the huge roaster that I break out once per year. Why is it in a prime location in my kitchen cupboard when it can be stored in basement for as little as I use it? [...]

My Living Stories iTunes Apps Review & $25 iTunes Gift Card Giveaway

July 18, 2010

I recently just got an iPhone, and it’s been really fun seeking out great apps for myself and the kids. I cannot believe all there is out there! I have realized how handy kids’ apps are for those times when you need a good distraction. Running late for dinner, long waits at the doctors’ office, or just hearing ‘I’m Bored!’ while trying to get some grocery shopping done. Yep, kids’ apps have become quite the lifesaver for me. Alas, it is true that there is an app for everything, so it’s always nice to get some suggestions on recommended ones, [...]

Pop Weaver Microwave Popcorn Offers A Healthier Snacking Choice

July 18, 2010

When choosing microwave popcorn, I am always torn between the buttery movie taste and the healthy varieties. For my own taste, there was no healthy option that wasn’t bland and boring. I recently got to try the all new microwave popcorn made from Pop Weaver – and now I don’t have to sacrifice taste for a smart and healthy choice! Other brands use Palm Oil, which is so high in saturated fat. As well. Palm Oil also contributes to deforestation in tropical areas, and importing it uses a lot of fuel. Pop Weaver just introduced the first-ever microwave popcorn made [...]

Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days on DVD

July 14, 2010

I grew up watching Sesame Street, learning, singing and laughing with Big Bird, Grover, Kermit and the whole gang. And, I’m happy that that Sesame Street is still on TV and my kids love to watch it, since it’s a huge bonus if a childrens’ program doesn’t cause a headache! Yet, I can’t help but to watch today’s episodes and think back to the way ‘it used to be’, with previous actors and skits. As great as the new episodes are, there’s that admiration for the old shows that parents all recall and adore. Given this, can you imagine how [...]

e.p.t. | ‘The Moment You Knew’ Blog Tour

July 14, 2010

I was astonished to learn that 67% of expectant Mom’s save their home pregnancy test. Though I never took a home pregnancy test as I was able to get a doctor’s test right away each time – I’m sure that I would have saved mine if I used one. After all, the moment that you see a positive home pregnancy test, is the moment that you discover you are to become a Mom, it’s the first keepsake. Yet, those that have kept their home pregnancy tests, where do they keep them? In a plastic baggie? e.p.t. now offers women a [...]
