Best Blog-Safe Mama

Oh joy! I feel like I have hit the mother load of information. One of the best resources I have found online for safe products for the family. So much info on BPA and BPA free products and so much more. I have learned so much just in the few minutes I have been reading. Safe Mama is really worth a visit. Definitely added to my daily blog roll! Thanks Safe Mama!

Horrors- Shot sucking 101

Both of my boys are SICK right now! Man I thought we skated past the sick season, guess it came late. Off to the DR and they both had conjunctivitis...aka the Pink eye! With the thickest, nastiest coughs I have ever heard. Max like the dramatics and hacks and wheezes and then gives a big growling yell at the end to cap it all off. He loves to throw me in a panicky spin, and he is only 16 months. Not to mention the SNOT! Oh geez, let it FLOW.....


So in comes the The Arianna Baby Vac Nasal Aspirator. Okay I bought this when Maxten was a wee babe, but I haven't used it like I should. We were using the blueish bulb syringe but it was hell, he hated it. Plus you have to do it like 10 times before you get any results. Drama! This one you literally hook it up to your vaccuum hose attachment. No really you do. And no it doesn't suck their brains out, I tried it on me first it really does a quick job.
You are not really suppose to stick it in their nasal passages just right outside and it clears the way. I would say the down side is that our vaccuum is SSSOOO loud that it scares the crap out of the kids so you have to get them in a headlock , not nice. (see it in action)

We got ours from Cheeky Monkey.



In one of my random recent searches I came across this little sucker (sorry) which I had seen during my initial booger sucker research but now it seem like the wiser , albeit icky-ier choice. The Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator..MOM POWERED!
Eeeewww, is the initial though. Blech. Yipes. Gag. But knowing how AWESOME the Baby Vac works this is like the ultimate choice. Same power no noise! Now let's be real, no kid is going to like to get there boogers sucked out of there head which means there will probably still be some stuggle . But this one would be quite, quick, no batteries....just makes sense.
And from what I have read you cannot get the babies cold from doing this, there is a filter between you and the snot so you don't actually suck anything in but filtered air. Still kinda makes me wanna gag, but I will probably get one anyway.

She's having a Baby!

What do you get when you write a baby blog?

Guess I will be able to get that baby hammock after all :)

Toyota-Concept FT-MV

Well since we are going to be 3 kids deep, and soon to be out numbered I think we are going to need a BIGGER car. Here is the deal, I love cars, we live in Southern California and here cars are a BIG deal. And sorry to say it but I'm just not ready for a minivan, I just can't do it. But to my utter surprise as I was cruising the net I found this, now this is a minivan I could roll!

Okay, problem, this Toyota FT-MV concept was unveiled at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show...so who know s if we will ever see anything this awesome. It is not even featured on Toyota's concept site. A Mom can dream can't she , or obsess because it is now my current desktop wallpaper. Only the second minivan to grace my desktop, first was the Volkswagens Microbus, or BUST. It never got made either!

Some Exterior shots! SO PIMP!


And the OH-SO plush interior shots. God, Just sick!
WHAT? PS: Just researched MORE, people are saying is is the second generation of Japans Toyota Alphard ( weired name) that is a bad ass mini too. And Australia has a hot one too....the Tarago . Why do we always get the dumbed down shit. Geez!

MMMMM-Nommo wallpaper

OMG!
Stop the clock I found something to blog about!
Okay let's just try not mention my lack of creativity and gumption hiatus.....

Well, thanks to Swiss Miss ( one of my daily blog reads) I came stumbled upon Studio Nommo. The most AWESOME wallpapers EVER. Really just so creative and just GREAT! They have a baby line too that is just so cute and fantastical. AND they have sticker/decals too, for you noncommittal types!
