Do you have a toddler that absolutely loves to splash around in the bath? Or how about one that refuses to even get in the tub? You may want to check out the Tubby Table, a new product coming to the market that is perfect for both senarios.

In time for the holidays, the Tubby Table will take the stress out of bath time by ensuring your child’s water play stays in the tub and off the bathroom floor!
When I was little, I just LOVED me some Happy Meals. I think to this day, my mom and I both love their hamburgers, even though we don’t partake as much.

However for the kids, when we’re out and running around from Dance to Baseball and back, sometimes we have to sandwich dinner in the middle and McDonalds makes it convenient. Even better, in time for National Family Literacy Day on November 1, McDonald’s is inviting families across the Southland to celebrate the joy of reading with the launch of a new Happy Meal Books promotion. Perfect for us, since my monster has to read a book a day for homework!!! From Nov. 1 – Nov. 14, local McDonald’s restaurants will offer books in print for Happy Meal customers.
I’m sure like for all, Halloween was a crazy fun day. We started off with a bang when we got to school and there was absolutely NO parking. Rather than dropping off, many parents were hanging around for the Halloween Parade.

At 8am, right when the bell rang, we were off. Since my Handsome Boy is in Kindergarten, their classes were first. They stopped off at their classroom to drop off their backpacks and belongings and headed around the building into the quad area. In a semi-single file line (have you ever tried to get Kindergartners to stay in a straight line?) they marched around campus, showing off their unique costumes.
Does your little one absolutely love to dance? Then you may want to check out Baby Loves Disco!
Baby Loves Disco has been transforming the hippest night clubs across the world into child proof discos as toddlers, pre-schoolers and parents looking for a break from the typical playground. It’s an afternoon of crazy fun featuring music spun and mixed by a real DJ, dancing to classic disco tunes from the eras us parents love best: 70’s, 80’s and today’s hottest tracks.
