I have become increasingly aware that my body is probably not going to go back to the size 4 I was 10 years ago. I am however, a relatively happy size 8 and that is down from a size 12 that I was almost 2 years ago when I had Madelyn. I lost the first 20 pounds (I gained about 35) within the first year without much exercise but when the weight loss slowed down I didn’t know what
to do.
A lot of health magazines that say that walking can do the trick so I decided I would try that route before joining a gym. I needed a way to track the distance I walked and found this pedometer to be a practical, easy to use solution.
Oregon Scientific offers several pedometers for both walkers and for those on a more rigorous marathon type routine who may need a pulse meeter to make sure their heart rate is at the correct level.
The pedometer that I favor is a simple one with a panic alarm. I am a bit paranoid. I don’t like walking by myself but sometimes I have to and knowing that I have a panic alarm helps me to relax and enjoy my walk.
What man doesn’t want a pair of Oakley’s? When our testers put these on for the first time, I thought they all looked like spies. It took me a while to get past the fact that they guys looked like 007 but once I did I realized that these are not only really great looking but they are also one of the coolest gadgets (for adults) that I’ve reviewed. 
Keeping baby warm while out and about in the winter and on cool spring days can be a challenge. Silly Billyz Stroller Snuggle Bag is a great solution for those times when you need to get out but it’s too cold for baby. The Stroller Snuggle Bag gives you the motivation you might need to get your outdoor exercise in on those chilly mornings.
e and got my son, now 8, hooked on satin pillow cases when he was about two years old. I don’t blame them.. satin is soft, smooth, and luxurious to the touch. 
I wasn’t going to use my daughter as a tester for the Chicco Hippo TravelSeat because she doesn’t like to be confined to a high chair and hasn’t used one for a while. Much to my surprise though, she wanted to get in the seat and uses it often. The Chicco Hippo TravelSeat allows toddlers to eat at the table with the rest of the family. The padded seat is removable and machine washable which is much appreciated by a mom of a 22 month old who has mastered the art of making a mess of whatever she touches. The rubberized arms firmly grip the table but will not leave marks or pinch little fingers. The seat is simple to install and takes just seconds once you’ve done it a couple of times.
