kymommy72 says "A blessing for those who want to knit, but just don't get it" about Loom Crafts with Knifty Knitter

kymommy72 — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:38:47 GMT

If you are as in love with your knifty knitters as I am, Loom Crafts with Knifty Knitting by Provo Craft with designs by Shannon Erling is a must have. It contains 94 pages of knifty knitter projects.

The book contains a variety of stitches, such as tube, panel, ribbed, and altered ribbed.
It also has directions for finishing stitches like gathered, matress seam and a hidden seam.

The projects are listed in four major categories:

Babies and Toddlers with projects like Chick Blanket, Baby's First Quilt, Toddler Sweater and Toy Bag.

Cuddle Up includes Girl's Shrug, Afghan Shawl, and Mommie and Me Blanket.

Let's Play has fun stuff to make like Broom Horse, Pirate Costume and Dress Up.

Family Crafts, the last category contains some nice projects, that I think would make cute gifts like Journal Bookcover, Sleepover Crafts and Candle and Bottle Toppers.

22 Fun projects in all!!

The book retails for $14.99 to $19.99

kymommy72 says "Less gas...happier baby" about Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Baby Bottle

kymommy72 — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:21:28 GMT

This bottle is designed with a vent system that cuts down on the amount of air bubbles your baby digests when they are drinking thier bottle. It helps reduce the risk of colic and gas in your little ones tummy. I recieved a set of these at my baby shower and was pleased to see that they did exactly what they said they would do. When my little one drank from one, it truly did cut down on the amount of gas she consumed. She never had to burp when drinking from a Dr. Brown's bottle like she did when she drank from just a regular Walmart brand bottle. For all those worried about the chemical BPA, that we've been hearing so much about. I just read that Dr. Browns is working on a glass bottle and also polypropylene bottle that will elimiate health risks and will be safer for your little one to use. They are a little more costly then other bottles, but I think worth the money. The only other draw back is there are more parts to clean, so if you don't have a dishwasher it may take an extra......

kymommy72 says "Why work hard when you don't have too" about Kaboom Toilet Cleaner

kymommy72 — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:02:12 GMT

Kaboom Multi purpose bathroom cleaner is a must have product. It gets rid of soap scum, hard water build up, lime build up and dirt on all your bathroom surfaces. I use in my shower, tub, toilet bowl, and sink. It has a nice citrusy type of scent. It's real easy to use, just spray and wipe. When my friend moved into her new apartment, the people who lived there before her must have never cleaned their tub. It was a mess..soap scum, rust, hard water stains, you name it, it was on there. She tried several different types of cleaners, nothing worked. Finally she asked me I had anything to recommend her. I recommended Kaboom. She bought it, and it worked. The tub looked great! Now, it's a little more costly then regular cleaners, but I think it's worth the money. Cleaning is hard enough and anything that makes it easier, I'm all for it....

kymommy72 says "I have to go there at least once a day!!" about cafemom

kymommy72 — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:50:57 GMT

If you're already a mom, a mom to be or even trying to concieve, you MUST join Cafemom! This is such a fun site. You can connect with other moms on a daily basis, and find and make new friends right in your area. You can join friendly groups or start one of your own. Customizable profile pages to show all the other moms what you're all about. Join in on the photo showdowns, and cafemom activities, such as surveys, polls and the question/answer area. My only warning about this site is that it's very addicting!! You'll have to log on at least once a day ( I log on several times a day LOL). So, come join us :)...

kymommy72 says "This stuff is amazing" about Boudreaux's Butt Paste Diaper Rash Cream

kymommy72 — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:38:37 GMT

This stuff is amazing! My little boy had a really bad case of diaper rash for over two weeks. It would go away, then come back and I tried everything on the shelf to clear it up. I was at the end of my rope, then a friend told me about Boudreaux's Butt Paste. I kind of laughed at the name, but I was so desperate, I figured it would give it a try. It stared to work after the second application! It's thick and forms a nice shield against your child's bottom and a wet diaper. It may not smell too great, but it works wonders. It costs about the same as any other diaper rash cream. I highly recommend this to any parent who struggles with diaper rash. ...
