  1. Tantrums Galore!

    Wednesday, March 30, 2011

    My 13 month old has started to do this thing where she starts screaming and arching her back and throwing herself on the ground. It seems she does it mostly with me, only sometimes with my husband. If I sit her down, won't give her something, tell her no or move her from something unsafe or block something like the stairs. I guess I can understand why she is doing it but I don't know how to handle it. I hope that I am handling it correctly. Most of the time I just let her do it and others I put her in her crib and let her cry. Mostly when I put her down for her nap. She wants to be rocked and I want her to fall asleep on her own. Any suggestions. Any help will really help.. I'm going to go bald. KM

  2. I was recently given the opportunity to try out The Village Co.'s new line of natural baby bath products. If you aren't familiar with that name, I am sure that you are familiar with their line of Sesame Street Bath Playables, my kids absolutely adore the finger paint fun soap and who doesn't know who Mr. Bubble is?  When I heard about the new line of bath products, I could not wait to try it out! The package came to the door today and not a moment too soon, because today is my toddlers 2nd birthday and one of his favorite things to do is take a bath. Here is what I received:
    I admit that I was most nervous about what this was going to smell like. On one hand, I don't like strongly scented bath products, for myself or my kids, but on the other hand, I do want my kids to smell like they are clean, because they can work up a stink! All three of these products have a nice light scent that I really liked. My little man really loves playing in the bath, so him and his sister have to be bathed separately.
     Sullivans bath style is perfect for this surprisingly foamy bubble bath!
    Deirdre is just happy that she is nice and clean and that she didn't have to bathe with her brother again!

    After bath time, it was lotion time. The lotion is thick, creamy and currently being hoarded by my big manly tough husband. So basically, its perfect. Its the perfect set of bath products, apparently for everyone in the family! This line is exclusively available at Target stores, need to know where your nearest Target is? The Village Company has a store locator right on their site! Discouraged that you don't see your state listed? DON'T WORRY! The Village Company has generously offered to give away 5 sets of  their Sesame Street Baby Naturals to our readers!
