My New Favorite Diaper Bag Toy

As my daughter gets older her interests tend to gravitate towards toys with lights and loud noises. This isn't usually appropriate at restaurants and other public places where she needs to wait for extended periods of time.

My challenge: to find a toy small enough to fit into a diaper bag that is quiet and will hold her interest.

My solution: Goobi.

Katy lavishes her focused attention on these toys for at least 10 precious minutes at a time. Assembling, disassembling and rearranging magnetic sticks and steel balls into countless shapes and forms even holds my interest. Young children need supervision to avoid swallowing the small pieces.

Product Review: Blox Stain Remover

The Early Show on CBS did their own test on Blox Stain Remover. They found it helped, but didn't completely prevent stains.

MainStays Brand Towels

Wal-Mart carries cheap MainStays brand towels. They're big, soft and cheap. Do NOT buy them. I bought a set of green and white bath towels, wash cloths and hand towels. I've had them less than a year. The wash cloths and hand towels ALL have large obvious discolorations on them. I don't use them as rags or use them with harsh cleaning products. We just use them to wash faces and dry hands. I will say the white bath towels are fine. White doesn't fade. The colored towels are not worth the price. I advise you to stay away from this brand.
