Saturday Small Talk Six
Today’s topic on Mom Dot's Small Talk Six is “6 things other people do that make you personally uncomfortable.
hmm...
Smoking for sure--around me, but even more so if it's around my kids!
Standing too close--getting in my "personal" space---ugh!
Coughing without covering their mouths
Whistling
Chewing gum, especially if they are doing so loudly...yuck!
Asking me personal questions.... and sharing more personal info about themselves than I may have wanted to know
So what makes you uncomfortable? Visit momdot.com for more Small Talk Six fun!!
Aloha Fridays
"In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response."
TGIF, right? And in keeping with the laid back Friday feeling, An Island Life has a fun and easy Friday meme going on..... ponder some great, funny, interesting, serious--you name it--questions on everyone's blogs, and ask one of your own on your blog!
So here is my question:
If all things were as they should be in your life today, would you have another baby, or are you simply done, period?
So after you stop snorting, gasping for air, smiling, laughing, etc.. and leave me your answer , Pose your own question on your blog, and then head over to An Island Life, and sign Mr. Linky!
Review and Giveaway--Cart Stopper
The Cart Stopper is one of those ideas that truly makes you wonder "Why I didn't think of that??"
I do the shopping 9/10 in our home, and almost always have my 4 year old and 2 year old with me. I do not know the number of times I have arrived back at my car, grocery cart with groceries, a squirming two year old demanding to be taken out IMMEDIATELY, a precocious 4 year old who refuses to hold my hand in the parking lot and a car parked so close to mine that I am afraid of hitting it with my cart, an open door, or a mischievous little boy who "innocently" smacks it with a dinosaur. I become somewhat of a contortionist many times ....holding on to the cart with a foot, stretching one arm to open the door, carefully, for my 4 year old, and keeping one arm on my two year old who otherwise will be trying to climb out of the cart.
The Cart Stopper has been one of those simple ideas that has made unloading kids and groceries into my car while not letting the cart roll away stress free and relaxed.
A mom of two invented this incredible device after the worst parking lot nightmare for parents happened to her-- the shopping cart in which her little boy was sitting did actually get away from her--takes just a second-- and rolled away with her son, finally stopping when it hit a car!
What is the Cart Stopper? It is a device that has a suction cup on one end, which easily attaches to your car, while the other end of the device is hooked securely to the shopping cart. There is a "bungee" sort of cord which allows for some slack, but the cart stays secure and you have both hands free. Simple but ingenious in my book.
I could not wait to try the Cart Stopper out after it arrived, and went shopping asap (much to my hubby's 'delight', hehe). The cart stopper fit easily into my purse, which is a good thing since I normally do not carry a diaper bag anymore. Then, when it came time to try it out, I found it to be quick and simple to do. I attached the suction cup, secured the cart, and calmly dealt with my boys without worry of the cart getting away from me. No more hooking my feet on the cart to hold it still...no more contortionist moves as I tried to open doors and such.
The Cart Stopper was recently awarded “America’s Best New Invention” by ORCA – and was a finalist in the ‘JPMA Innovation Award’ contest at the recent ABC Kids Expo in Vegas.
You can buy a Cart-Stopper from their website for $9.99 each.
And thanks to Cart Stoppers and Family Review Network, I am giving away one free cart stopper to a lucky reader!!
