I just learned about a new website called GigglePrints.com where you can order free business cards, personal checks, and business checks.
If you don’t run your own business, you can use the free business cards as ‘mommy calling cards’!

Like most little girls, I spent hours folding paper
and playing the game of ‘fortune telling’ when I was a child. I was recently thrilled to learn about Cahootie, a game based off of the ‘fortune telling’ game and to share it with Sebastian, my eight year old son. Who say’s boys can’t play too? Despite the fact that Cahootie is geared toward girls onl
y, Sebastian enjoys the Sporty Girl Cahootie. I didn’t make a big deal of the game being for girls, so he doesn’t care.
Cahootie, available in several versions; Truth or
Dare, Wishes and Dreams, Sporty Girl, Birthday Wishes, Democrat, and Republican each featuring colorful designs and 40 re-positionable stickers, so the game changes as often as players want it to.
I quickly learned that Cahootie is tear-resistant. My 2 year old daughter and un-approved Cahootie tester put our review Cahootie to the test and I am pleased to say that the Cahootie withstood some rough treatment.
Priced at just $5.95, Cahootie make a great gift.
Cahootie.com, is an interactive website where free Cahootie templates are available for download and printing so your kids can make their own Cahootie and stickers. Join Club Cahootie and your kids can submit their own Cahootie designs to be featured on the website!

When I was in high school, I was afraid that I would lose my locker combination and wouldn’t be able to get my books and homework out of my locker. I had nightmares about it and would think about it so much that I set myself up for combination failure. I’m not kidding. High school was a tough time.
Now, there is a product called Wordlock that I think is just great! Using words instead of numbers, our kids can secure their locker, bicycle, ‘treasure box’ and more.
Wordlocks are locks that have letters instead of numbers so you
can come up with easy-to-recall 4 or 5 letter word or letter combos like your
child’s favorite food, C-A-N-D-Y. Wordlocks are ideal for parents with
children because children often forget number combinations, and parents often misplace
the sheet of paper with the combination on it.
Wordlocks come in padlocks, bike locks and
travel locks. The bike lock is great for those times when your child might forget a numeric combination and you aren’t available for him to call and ask "hey mom, what’s my bike lock combination again"? Now, he can set an easy to remember word combination. Wordlock padlocks are great for outdoor pool gates, yard gates, and storage boxes that you don’t want the kids getting into. The travel locks are
great for your small, personal luggage you take on your summer road trips with the family. You know, the luggage you don’t want the kids rummaging through!
Wordlocks can be bought at Amazon.com.

Longer summer days means dramatically more time spent
outside in the sun with our kids: from hanging out on the beach or at
the pool, to running in the yard, to hiking through the woods. Amidst
these summer activities, safety issues lurk from insects to sun burns
to keeping hydrated. The Mommy Insider, in cooperation with Mom Central who has joined with The Clorox Company and MommyDocs we share with you these
important summer safety tips:
All safety tips can also be found on MommyDocs.com.
70% – The number of Moms, according to a Mom Central survey, who have given keys to people who are not members of the
household. When asked to consider how many non-residents have keys
to their homes, 86% reported feeling at least moderately concerned. The number that was even more surprising to me is 84% which is the percent of Moms who
have experienced a child, babysitter, or housekeeper entering a
designated "off-limits" area in the home, sometimes with serious
consequences. Scary!
I was recently given the opportunity by Mom Central and Schlage, to review a Schlage keypad lock and will never go back to a regular deadbolt lock and I think my family agree’s.
As featured on The Learning Channel’s Designing Spaces, Schlage keypad locks are a great way to keep your home safe from intruders who are pro’s at picking locks, while allowing your older children to enter your home after school or sports practice without having to keep up with
a key.
Schlage keypad
locks are ready to use right out of the box. The keypad lock comes preset with two unique user codes so programming the lock in not necessary unless you want to create a custom code. All you have to do is install the keypad lock with one simple tool, a flat head screw driver.
The keypad lock allows you to add, change or delete
user codes in seconds and uses a premium 9-volt battery which is included. Schlage keypad locks have a plethora of features including, but not limited to:
