My computer took a turn for the worse today, somehow the charge stopped working in the cord to my laptop. It will take until Thursday to get me back up and running in the meantime I’ll try to post as often as I can. Keep us in your thoughts, I’ll go through some serious withdrawls. Eliza

Funny Things Kids Do: Piper Palin

This is one little girl that is not going to let anything get away. Not even those stray hairs. Look at how determined she was to get her little brother’s hair to stay down. Hmm, I wonder how many times her parents have done that to her hair? Remember this from your own childhood? Come on fess up who had it done? I know I did, hated it too. Course the wipe of a cheek was a well known one too. Ikkkk. Do you do it to your kids?

Sarah Palins Family in the Media

In just about an hour from now, the whole world will tune in just to see what one Mother of five has to say. Why? Because she, Sarah Palin, could be our next Vice President of the United States of America. But that’s not the only reason, there has been a lot of leaks to the media in the past week since John McCain announced her as his running mate.

Here’s are a few questions I ask you the reader:

- Should this presidency be determined on whether or not Sarah Palin, mother of 5, just recently had a baby?

- What about if you heard the baby has Down Syndrome? Should it matter if she can be VP?

- What if I told you her 17-year-old daughter got pregnant? She’s also keeping the baby and plans on getting married this year to her fiance.

Many of you are probably thinking she’s a terrible mother. But the truth is she is the average working mother, course she gets paid a lot more than most of us. Right? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a REAL mom in office, even if it were as VP? Yes, she has issues in her own family, we all probably do that we don’t want everyone to find out about. She’s about to deal with many of the issues we all talk about, she’s the average mom. But she’s doing it all on a bigger scale, the thing I’m amazed is how she deals….UNDER PRESSURE. So far she’s dealt with it beautifully, actually most moms would’ve attacked those that were going after her cubs. Am I right?

Honestly I agree with Obama when he stated, “Leave the children alone.” I support that, course you know that won’t happen. Everyone will watch how the children behave before voting. Everyone will wonder, if Sarah can be a “mother” and “work” at the same time. Course I don’t think this should be an issue, she also has a husband and even if she didn’t there are working moms that are single that do exactly that (yes not for the White House) all the time. This race should not be about how many kids she has, whether or not she has one baby with down syndrome or a daughter getting married. It should be plain and simple about politics, the views, how we feel on “if they can get the job done” type thing.

Voice your thoughts and after the speech come back and leave more thoughts. Can’t wait to read them all.

CowParade Moves into Town

It doesn’t matter if you just heard your friend/family member has just found out that they are expecting or already has a baby, if you are looking for a great and unique baby gift to get them CowParade has something for you. When CowParade first wrote me I wondered why would I want a breakable cow, I quickly found out they were more than just ceramic cows at the site. So head on over and check out all the items they have, it’s a really neat site and something for everyone, even babies and collectors. CowParade is actually one of the world’s largest public art exhibits around. They even have a life-size 3-D cow, I doubt this one is for sale. reviewproducts 122 They have the following for you: Figurines, paint-your-own cow, mini moos, plush moo cows, jeweled boxes, pins and of course books. We were sent the Teddy Bears on the Moove (as seen in the pic at top), which has one cow and two teddy bears that velcro on top of the cow. As you can see they easily come off making them a great toy item for baby or any young child. We also got the Super Cow Plush, he’s a bendable cow which means we can pose his legs in any direction without breaking him. Little A LOVES this one, at first he wasn’t sure but after he learned he could fly he was all for it. Take a peek on the side. You didn’t really think you’d ever get that one from him did you? I asked for him and that was the look he gave me. Yeah, I don’t think that’ll ever go on his dresser. He sleeps with him and drags him around by the cape now.

The little teddy bears from “Teddy Bears on the Moove” have become little play items and as you can tell he loves them all to pieces. They are soft and don’t have anything that’ll poke his eyes out. I like that when he isn’t playing and if I can actually manage to put them up I can make them do anything, you know like climb up books or pretend to have them prancing.

Next up are the figurines, these are extremely nice and as you see these too are the “Teddy Bears on the Moove” but they are breakable and heavy. This is one of those things you’ll place on a baby nursery shelf (that is secure) or one of those dressers in the baby room. This could really give life to a room. Imagine painting a nursery with a farm theme or even teddy bears and having these two guys right in the center. It would just add that perfect touch. Well the teddy bears are mooooving on so I better check on the little one myself. If you need any ideas head on over and take your pick. They have ballerina, cow french moodle, cowabunga (surfer), moo flower (ship) and so much more. Those were just the plush dolls, they have tons that are rare & retired, hers, his, etc. I think my next buy will be the Soccer Cow (figurine) for SoccerBoy. Doesn’t it sound perfect? BalletGirl would probably like one of the jewelry box cows.

Baby Funny: Mommys a Carry-All

I guess because he sees that his milk is held up in a bra he thinks all things should be. So why did it surprise me the other day when a hot wheel went down my shirt and into the bra? Or worse he had found some trash on the floor and decided that too could get put in there. Thankfully this was all done without company. Could you have imagined my face had he done this in front of the new neighbors? I’m sure I would’ve been a shade not even I have seen before, course they would’ve chalked it up as ‘been-there-done-that.’
