I said earlier that I was stumped for ideas for kids. It wasn't a lie at the time, but it sure is now.Babyccino featured this adorable book (left) on their site - My Very Own Fairy Tale Personalised Book. There are a few other options for personalised books and goodies on the website too...
The Kids Closet here in DC (on Connecticut Ave) are having a summer sale - 20% - 50% off, and if you're on their mailing list you can get an extra 10% off.
Then there is this buy organic cheat sheet via Coochicoos - a guide to the dirtiest fruits and vegetables. A print it yourself cheat sheet to carry to the grocery store with you. It shows the "dirty dozen" the ten fruits and veg with the most pesticide residue (tested after they've been cleaned and peeled). If organic is important to you then you'll want to take a look.
Coochicoos also posted an interesting letter from pediatrician Dr Jay Gordon about the vaccine debate (here). Strangely it's the first neither pro neither against article I've read. Gives kudos to Jenny McCarthy where its due, and politely declines kudos to her methods where necessary (I especially liked this). Well written and harshly critical of a recent PBS "documentary." If only there were more information from physicians such as Dr Gordon more often!
And finally - and probably my favourite blog post - came via Stroller Traffic. The post titled "Lesson of the Day" has a fantastic list of books that will help you teach, explain or just impress a point upon your toddler... The post id on all kinds of topics from curiosity to tantrums, chores and eating.
I think the list is going to be a to buy list of books for our house!
I guess that will teach me to read a weeks worth of emails and blog posts before I say I'm clueless!
Well, that should about do it I think!
