stainless-steel-shredding-scissorsFact of life:  both shredders and shredding (the objects and the act) suck.

Cutting, however, is fun.  Take advantage of that fact by slicing your old bills to oblivion using this genius space-saver.

sit and be fit

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

topstar-sitness-mesh-exercise-ball-chairI can’t stop with the butt posts.  It’s a disease.

Ignore that, and trust me when I say that after discovering this chair on Overstock, it has shot to the top of my Christmas wish list.  I’ve ridden religiously on my exercise ball throughout my two pregnancies and beyond, so to discover an exercise ball chair that looks as adorable as a bar stool aboard a V ship is thrilling indeed.

The fact that you can strengthen your core while bouncing to Ace of Base and writing blog posts?  You can’t put a price on sitness, people.

from our friends at TheFind: corn on the cob made easy – baby butter corn picks

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

butterbaby-corn-holdersAlmost every weekend this past summer our family ate corn on the cob. My toddler daughter loves corn and gets a kick out of eating it typewriter style. I found these adorable Butter Baby Corn Picks that make eating corn easy and fun for little hands. I love that my daughter’s hands don’t get buttery and sticky and that she no longer drops her corn onto the floor. The picks come in sets of four including a pair of yellow, pink, green and blue.

These corn picks also interlock for easy and safe storage and I just put them in the top utensil rack of my Miele dishwasher for easy clean up.

time to make the donuts

Monday, October 26th, 2009

itzbeen-baby-care-timer-blueIn recent memory, no other product has revolutionized my life like the Itzbeen Baby Care Timer.

Since baby P has come home, we’ve been sleeping in separate beds:  Mr. Misosouper across the house (in walkie talkie distance, of course), and me in the guest room, on newborn duty.  He gets to rest at night and I get to rest during the day, a setup I highly recommend.

So in the wee hours, if I haven’t blearily rolled over to feed/change/check on baby in the past 3 hours, the Itzbeen Baby Care Timer sounds a gentle alarm to wake me up.  Press the buttons to reset, and repeat, until morning.  (There’s a bonus button, which I used the first couple of nights home to remind me to take my pain meds.  As if I would have forgotten.)

The Itzbeen Baby Care Timer even comes with a nightlight, which I have used for several diaper changes when I’m too lazy to turn on the lamp.

Yes, I know reviews of this gadget have already been posted all over the internet.

But add my exhausted, grateful voice to the chorus.
