Wow! This is a cool cell phone for kids. Complete with a digital camera, text message capabilities, bluetooth compatibility and more, this cell phone is going to be a huge hit!
Look for my review of the kajeet call phone in the next couple of weeks.

Moms are all about safety. I might be a little extreme. Sebastian will probably be in a booster seat until he’s ten. Now, with the ‘olli booster seat’, Sebastian won’t mind.
Here is an excerpt from the clek website and I will elaborate below:
The clek™ booster seats are designed with an integrated rigid LATCH system to deliver both the safety of LATCH and the convenience of uncomplicated installation, features typically at odds with one another.
Designed with an integrated rigid LATCH system – This is the most incredible feature. I haven’t shopped for many booster seats but this is the first one that I know of with this feature. The booster seat doesn’t slide like some do because it is securely fasted to the seat via the LATCH system.
Safety – The clek booster seat was designed and engineered by a world-class automotive seat manufacturer that knows the safety concerns of parents.
Uncomplicated installation – There’s nothing complicated when installing the clek booster seat in your car. Simply align the seat with the LATCH symbols on your car’s seat and push to attach the seat to the LATCH system. It’s that easy!
My husband loves the clek booster seat as much as I do. He often takes Sebastian on errands with him so we have to move his booster seat from my car to his. Now with the clek booster seat, it’s a quick and easy task.
A few things that Sebastian wanted me to point out to you are:
1. "It’s super comfy"
2. You can choose from several colors and patterns.
3. It makes him tall so he can see out the window.
4. He feels safe.
5. The seat doesn’t slide.
I think I already said all of that, but I promised Sebastian I would let you know what he had to say too.
A clek olli booster seat will be given away to a lucky ‘Insider’ reader in September. Visit often to enter the September contest!

Did you know that a bad sun burn before the age of 10 can give you up to a 50% chance of getting skin cancer as an adult? I didn’t. That is a really scarry thought. I am glad Sebastian and Madelyn have UV Protectant swim/play wear from SunSmart.ca.
SunSmart has come up with a great, fun way for kids to have fun in the sun and parents don’t have to worry about their skin suffering the damaging effects of UV rays.
SunSmart’s swim and play wear not only protects your child from damaging UV rays, they are also fun to wear! Both Sebastian and 
Madelyn wore their SunSmart outfits for one full day (Sebastian actually slept in his!) and had a blast wearing them. Quit honestly, I was amazed that Madelyn didn’t pull at the fabric around her neck as it comes up higher than her usual clothing does which provides great UV protection on her delicate skin. Madelyn waltzed around the house and yard all day with no complaints.
Sebastian absolutely LOVES his SunSmart outfit. On more than one occasion, he commented on how comfortable the outfit is and that he was going to wear it forever. That could get a little smelly.
Although Madelyn can’t really appreciate the super hero design on the outfits, Sebastian sure did. At seven years old, he is all about super hero’s. He was thrilled that he is Superman and Madelyn is Supergirl. How cute!
With sizes for babies all the way up to teens, kids of all ages can now be protected from the sun in fashion!

Taking the kids to a restaurant… just the thought used to make me cringe. Now that Sebastian is seven, he is pretty good about sitting still and occupying himself. Madelyn, on the other hand, is a different story. She just started getting interested in coloring so the Madallie Oil Cloth Chalk Mat has come in really handy on more than one occasion. Not only do we use the oil cloth chalk mat at restaurants, we use it at home on the kitchen table too.
The Oil Cloth Chalk Mat comes with two pieces of white chalk, an eraser cloth and a little pocket that stores both. The mat rolls up and ties closed which makes for easy packing and unpacking.
Planning a road trip? Just bring a car seat tray, and your oil cloth chalk mat and your kids will have fun drawing, playing tick-tac-toe, hangman, and practicing their writing skills and math… yeah, right!
This is definitely a ‘mommy must have’.
I just learned that Madallie.com sells the infamous PlasmaCar! If you haven’t already, check out the video of Madelyn being chased by two boys on their PlasmaCars. It’s really funny and she’s having a blast! Madelyn even rides Sebastian’s PlasmaCar and she’s only 14 months! She loves it. She can go forward and backward on her own.

Sebastian has so much fun with his School Zone Puzzle Play workbooks. I’m a computer geek so I love to see Sebastian doing something constructive on his computer.
The School Zone Interactive products include a workbook and a CD-ROM. The workbook is full of colorful mazes and the software provides 30 creative backgrounds on which Sebastian can create his own maze puzzle. Sebastian designs the path of his maze from a "Start" point to the "Finish." Children can use a mouse to design their maze path or they can use the arrow keys. I love this feature. Some kids get frustrated with the mouse, so having the option to use the keyboard keys is great. When Sebastian finishes his path, the computer fills in the rest of the maze with misleading and dead-end pathways.
After Sebastian creates his maze, he can solve the puzzle with a race against the clock, or a little computer guy which Sebastian prefers.
Sebastian’s second favorite Puzzle Play workbook is the Hidden Pictures. The workbook comes with over 50 colorful hidden pictures pages. The CD-ROM is a little more challenging to figure out but once your child gets it, he will have a blast! Your child adds objects on top of a picture and then the objects magically sink into the picture. To solve the puzzle, the person playing it is shown the picture with a grid on it. By selecting coordinate points, the player can direct a funny character to dig at the point he or she selected.
To add some excitement (even more!), your child also embed goodies and gags.
School Zone Puzzle Play workbooks are geared for children ages 6-8 but we have a few 5 year old product testers use the workbooks and software and they did just fine with a little supervision.
