Pause in reviews.. back in a few days.
I am very sad to tell you all that my Grandfather is very ill and in the hospital. He lives about 5 hours away and we spent the last few days visiting him which is why you haven’t seen a new product review in a few days. Upon our arrival back in Atlanta this evening, we learned that he was taken off of the medication that was helping him due to concerns with his blood pressure. There is a possiblity that he will not make it but a few more days, so we may drive back first thing Monday morning. I hope you all understand that I will not be providing daily product reviews as usual for a few days. I hope to be back on track by the end of the week. Meanwhile, your prayers are appreciated!
I appreciate all of your support and visits.

Tee Pee
I remember the days when I would get all the sheets out of the hall closet, throw them over random pieces of furniture I gathered from several rooms and slid in for hours. That was special time for me. I would read my Judy Bloom books, my Barbie magazine (yes, I read Barbie) and do puzzles. Those are fond memories. BUT, I absolutely hated having to make my own fort. I would ask my sister for help, but if she wasn’t in the fort making mood, I sure didn’t get help.
Now, kids don’t have to ask for help. Your child(ren) can have a permanent Tee Pee in your home. No more, MOMMY, WILL YOU HELP ME BUILD A FORT? while you are fixing dinner or folding the laundry. YEAH!!
Tee Pee for me was founded my two Georgia moms with safety, quality, and beauty of design top on their minds.
Tee Pee for me tee pee’s:
- install in just seconds. You literally slide the tee pee out of the packaging, pull apart the polls and the tee pee is up!
- are made of high quality, beautiful fabric
- come in patterns for boys, girls as well as nuetral patterns
- are very spacious on the inside
- are lightweight
- easily fit into the back of a minivan so kids can take it to Grandma’s!
I love the tee pee that we have. The fabric is a Wild West Red theme and is perfect for little boys and girls I think.
Sebastian (7 years old) can easily fit in his tee pee as well as 2 of his friends. They play games, read books and Sebastian can even stretch out completely and relax in his tee pee.

Fisher Price Soothing Motions Glider
This has been a life saver for us! Madelyn has slept in our room since birth and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The only issue we have had is finding something that she will fall asleep in and stay asleep in for several hours at a time. I tried a bouncy seat, a bassinett, I even put her in the bed with us using one of those new co-sleepers, but none of those seemed to satisfy her.
Then, I got the Soothing Motion Glider. What a great product. The Soothing Motions Glider glides back and forth or side to side with the click of a switch. The gentle gliding motion mimicks the motion that we have when rocking baby back and forth in our arms which baby’s love.
You can turn the glider ‘seat’ 360 degrees so no matter where you are in the room, baby can see you.
The glider plays 2 tunes; one for awake times and one for sleepy times.
The soothing motions glider is easy to take on trips and believe me.. we do! I don’t leave home even for one night without it!
The only issue I have with this product is that it seems to go through batteries pretty quick. Other than that it is great and I recommend the Soothing Motions Glider to all new parents!

Why Why Why?
Ok, so this isn’t a product review but I received this in an email from a friend and thought I would share it with you!
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?
Why do banks charge a fee on
"insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion
stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why doesn’t glue stick to the bottle?
Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends — if they’re okay, then it’s you
