We bought our 3 1/2 year old a pink digital clock (of course), and taught her that she couldn’t get out of bed — or out of her bedroom — until the clock said “7″. We covered up the other two digits for her clarity. To make the deal even sweeter for her, we bought a box full of Oriental Trading’s Super Deluxe Toy Assortment (50 toys for $13!) and…

Baby Rentals Help Out During Family Vacations!
Sooner or later, it will be summer (rain, rain go away!) and we will all be going away in some version or another. Going on vacation with tots-in-tow could test your logistical preparation skills. From the toys, to the snacks, to the DVD player and the DVD’s to go along with it, to the band-aids and the kids ibuprofen, you’ve already got a lot on your mind so thank goodness for the…

For $12 each, we were able to skate for an unlimited amount of time and rent pretty new skates and for an additional well-spent $3, we were able to rent a helmet. The facilities weren’t grand but…

It’s been over 9 weeks since our two-year old fell out of a two-story window from a house that we rented down at the Jersey Shore. The police said that her fall was about 18 feet high, and she landed on concrete. The miracle of all miracles happened, though. Little S came away with only a broken femur. No internal bleeding, no head trauma, no major injuries to her internal…
