I am a busy mom, working a full time job, three children at home, and each of them having soccer or gymnastic practice I never seem to be home. Run home from work, pick up the kids, change and off to practice. It is after 7 before we walk in the door, and there is still showers and homework to be done, so who has time to cook dinner. So to the drive thru it is. One month I decided to truly scrutinize the amount of money I was spending down to the last dollar, and I was astonished to find out that I had spent over $60 just on take out food. That truly sickened me, not only was I wasting my hard earned money but I was teaching my children not to put healthy food into their bodies. Truly, their lives are as busy as mine, they have school, practice and homework, and how were they going to keep up their stamina with out feeding their body proper nutrition. Of course, then we go back to the original dilemma of no time. The answer to this question was right under my nose, or in my cupboard t …

The Wiggles are an Australian singing group who sing songs geared towards toddlers and preschoolers. Many of their songs are about simple household tasks and are very upbeat encouraging young ones to sing and dance along with them. Let the little ones pick out the invitations and help with planning Mom’s wiggles themed party by making up a guest list and helping to fill out the invitations, even if it’s just licking the envelopes and putting stamps on the letters. They’ll also have just the right music for the party in mind, The Wiggles, of course! Maybe you can sneak in a few tracks of some more laid back adult music for later on in the party. The wiggles each wear a certain color when performing and you can use these colors in the decoration of your party area. Use lots of green, blue, red and yellow in the form of balloons, streamers and metallic dangles. The Wiggles theme can often be found in paper supplies so take advantage of this and pick up tablecloths, napkins, plates and cu …

” Did you know that it is a proven scientific fact that when you lie like that your tongue grows two millimeters longer? Keep this up and eventually you may have to wrap your tongue around your neck like a scarf to keep from stepping on it. The world seems a much better place an hour or so later when you are at the gym working on your double twist. After giving it your best you are rewarded for the effort by standing up three double fulls in a row. The coach claps you on the back and says, “Well, I guess it’s time we moved you up into the advanced optional group. Will you be able to make workout on the additional days the advanced optional group works out?” Of course you answer, “Yes!” At the end of the workout you can’t wait to tell your mom all about it. As you are changing into your clothes you notice the coach has already gone over to talk to your mom about the extra workout days and for some reason he does not look happy. Your mother is showing the coach a note from your school te …

This trampoline was so heavy. I paid my little brother to put it together but he hasn’t done it yet. My mom was pretty happy to be getting a gift like this for her birthday. It should be good when it’s together. Yay?
Customer Review: Awesome trampoline
This trampoline offers a great deal for your money. I bought it as a gift for my niece because I have had one myself for about 4 years. It’s easy to build and to dismantle and it’s very safe and durable. I have not net in mine but the net was helpful for my 7 y.o. niece.

Whether it’s because they saw a performance on TV or because all of their friends are taking gymnastic instruction, the chances of her letting this question fall below the radar are unlikely. Signing your daughter up for instructions doesn’t just mean she’ll be tumbling around the living room, it also means you’ll have to take an active role as a parent of a gymnast. Mothers and fathers of gymnastics often find that their lives become just as dedicated to the sport as their child’s. If you’re about to enroll you’re little one in gymnastic instructions, here are three things you should do as a the parent of a gymnast. Make it FunGranted, you may have the world’s next Olympic gold medalist vaulting from your couch and balancing on your patio, but that doesn’t mean you need to push them to exhaustion. One of the worst things you can do to your budding star is take the fun out of their favorite activity. Gymnastics in it’s earliest stages should be used as a tool for skill building and en …

Award: Best Toy Pick 2006 by Nick Jr. Magazine
Customer Review: Jus what I expected
The mat was just what I expected. Bright colors, large and thick. The only downside is that the material is not very durable. It is a blend of carton and plastic. It sticks to the bare skin as if it had glue residue. Nevertheless, it works great for my 10 mo old (although it may not last long).
Customer Review: Temporary use only
We bought two of these mats last Christmas. We used one for playing on (we have tile floors) and one as a safety net under my son’s crib. Less than a year later the top layer is peeling off and the handles have torn off. This is not a sturdy mat. I am very disappointed in the quality. I am in search of a better quality mat as we are now using the mats for physical therapy. It is unpleasant to have pieces of the mat stuck to your child as she rolls or moves across the mat.

Nastia Liukin Cartwheel Mat Nastia Liukin Cartwheel Mat This 2′ X 6′ mat, made with 1 5/8″ foam, comes with screened hand and foot prints used to teach both left and right handed cartwheels. Flip the mat over for a 4″ screened practice “beam” on the opposite side!
Customer Review: Cartwheel mat
I received this item in a timely manner. The only problem I had is that I ordered pink and received blue….and since it was for my daughter and it came on her birthday I didn’t return it. The product itself is good quality and my daughter really enjoys it, despite it being the wrong color.
Customer Review: Granddaughter couldn’t wait Christmas Eve…it got opened and used.
I have not seen it at her house but MOM says she uses it daily. being as it is two sided she does not have to have the handprints showing. She loves it.
