My 10 year old is in shock! He just met the cast of Percy Jackson & the Olympians Lighting Thief.. Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson), Brandon T. Jackson (Grover Underwood), Alexandra Deddario (Annabeth Chase)!

We met the cast at Borders bookstore in Marietta, today where Logan, Brandon, and Alexandra answered questions from the crowd and signed autographs.

I’ve never heard such load screaming in my life. My 3 year old covered her ears and buried herself in her stroller during the screams. Girls were screaming “I love you Percy!”.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians The Lighting Thief opens in theaters February 12th and I’m sure theaters all over the country will be packed with enthuastic book readers.

Madelyn went through a phase during which she didn’t want anything in her hair.. hairbows, clips, or headbands.  A 2 1/2 year phase in fact.  She’s 3 now and is more open to letting me fix her hair and put hair clips in it especially now that it’s long and she gets annoyed when it falls in her eyes and face. 

I recently received a few gorgeous and fun hair clips from Ruby’s Closet to feature here on The Mommy Insider and Madelyn had them all in her hair within a few minutes of seeing them. 

I love Ruby’s Closet’s Sushi hair clip set.  I love sushi and bright fun colors so I think this is a really fun clip.  I also love the Patchwork clips and have worn the one Madelyn is wearing in the photograph myself and was complimented!

Ruby’s Closet has a huge selection of fun, bright, creative, and colorful clippies and headbands. Each flower or clippie can be slipped through a loop on the headbands or hats to mix and match. This is great for keeping your daughters clippies from infant to child. It also lets you change up your child’s look for each outfit. All clippies come with a chemical and latex free “no slip” liner that works great for keeping the clippies in little or no hair.

Ruby’s Closet hair clips make great stocking stuffers!

If you are on the hunt for a unique holiday gift idea you’ll love CurlyQ Cuties’ Made-to-Order Monsters.

You can use CurlyQ Cuties online kid-friendly interactive designer to design a one-of-a-kind handmade plush Monster your child will love. For about $25, your design design will be turned into a real live stuffed Monster toy made from quality anti-pill fleece.

I think it’s a great idea to let your child design their own monster but if you are giving one as a gift, I’m sure just about any design will be appreciated! CurlyQ Cuties are great for any age. My 3 and 10 year old both love their CurlyQ Cuties Made-to-Order Monster.

Where do your notes start?
My Moleskine notebook is the first place I jot down things from items to add to my grocery list, to to-dos, and random thoughts of which there are tons, important dates, gift ideas, and other ramblings. From there I usually add those notes to the appropriate iPhone app such as Shopper or NotifyMe.
Without my Moleskine notebook, my thoughts may never make it to completion. What a disaster that would be!

What is Moleskine?
MOLESKINE is the legendary notebook that has held the inspirations and ideas of everyone from Van Gogh, Picasso and Hemingway to famed author, Bruce Chatwin. Artists, authors, and geniuses of all variety have long appreciated the simplicity and superior functionality of these notebooks.

I am a huge fan of Mutsy strollers. I’ve been pushing Madelyn, now 3, around in a Mutsy 4Rider (read my Mutsy 4Rider review here) since she was a baby.

I just got a new Mutsy yesterday and shucks if it isn’t a rainy day today so I’m about to open and put it together in the house. I can’t wait for a sunny day.. are you crazy.. it’s a Mutsy!

Key features of the Mutsy Transporter stroller

interchangeability This light flexible Mutsy stroller can be used in combination with a Mutsy bassinnett, a seat cover, and different infant car seats. This buggy is characterized by its ease of operation, a height adjustable push bar and its compact volume when folded.
steering The Transporter is very flexible and maneuverable on account of 2 front swivel wheels. Using the catches above the front wheels, the swivel wheels can be locked into position. The height adjustable handlebar thrills my husband to no end because he is tall and needs the handlebar to be out further than I so he doesn’t kick the stroller every time he takes a step.
folding The Transporter can be folded quickly into a compact form. Furthermore, only minimum work is required to fold the Transporter, as you do not have to remove the seat prior to folding the frame.

More information

Netherlands-based Mutsy, recognized for its modernistic stroller designs featuring a distinctive modular, flexible system, introduces the Transporter, the company’s most affordable and lightest weight stroller to date. The new combination stroller is ideal for the cost conscious parent seeking a high quality baby transport solution.

Ideal for parents on the go, the sporty, full-size Transporter can be used in combination with a bassinet (sold separately) or Graco, Peg-Perego or Maxi-Cosi car seat (optional car seat adapters are sold separately). The bassinet and car seat adapter easily clicks onto the frame over the stroller seat, easing mom’s ability to switch between modes. Additionally, the Transporter seat can easily be completely removed for a sleek look as a pram or travel system. Two front swivel wheels offer exceptional flexibility and maneuverability. Transporter can be folded quickly into an extremely compact form with minimal effort. The four quick-release wheels are easily removable, allowing for even greater compactness and lightness when folded. The deep and padded reclining seat and large, protective hood create a comfortable and serene environment for napping or strolling on a sunny day. A foot rest provides comfort for an older child, and a convenient shopping basket is also included. Other features include height adjustable 4-position push bar and back support adjustment.

The Mutsy Transporter is available in Black, Grey, Red and Sand.

Where can I buy it? here at Amazon.com

How much is it? The recommended retail price is $399 and the optional bassinet is $150
