Muppets...Again!

I grew up watching Muppets movies, I loved them. So I was pretty happy, and also somewhat shocked, when O showed interest in them. She was still very young when the most recent Muppets movie came out. She would play in the living room, paying no attention to the tv that would be on in the background...until a trailer for the new Muppets movie would come on. She would literally stop what she was doing to watch it, she was entranced. When it came out on blu ray we immediately scooped one up, and she loves it. She loves the singing and dancing and seeing all the characters.

Try as I might, I can't get her to show any interest in the older Muppets films though, something about them just isn't appealing to her. So, imagine my surprise this morning when I woke up and saw several people talking about the new movie that just started filming in London.

Love for Tea Collection: Get Set for Spring Contest

I am addicted to children's clothing. In addition to Kate Quinn, I also really love Tea Collection. Tea bases each of their collections on a different culture, the Spring 2013 collection is based on South Africa. They have great colors and patterns, and use natural fabrics. The name Tea comes from the idea that nearly all cultures drink tea, and the brand is dedicated to sharing cultures and encouraging adventure.

Here are a few items from the new South Africa Collection that I'd love to get for O:

Limpopo Bandana Ruffle Tunic

King Protea Party Dress in Cider

Cactus Flower T-Back Jumper

I Love Kate Quinn Organics!

One of my favorite things about the monthly kids clothing boxes I subscribe to is that I am always being introduced to different brands of clothes. Kate Quinn Organics is one of those brands that I had no knowledge of before I signed up for Wittlebee. However, now that I know about them, I am obsessed.

Kate Quinn clothing is made from 100% certified organic fabrics. They make clothing for both girls and boys and focus on using earth inspired colors and simple elegant lines that highlight your child's natural beauty. This really appeals to me because I have never been a fan of the clothing covered in phrases such as "princess," or items with cartoon characters plastered across the front. Until my daughter gets older, she's stuck wearing what I pick out, and I'm picking out a lot of Kate Quinn.

Do You Have Klout?

A few months ago I was introduced to a new app on Facebook called Klout. From what I gather, you are given a score based on how many friends you have and how much they interact with you on Facebook. The best part is that you can earn free perks based on your Klout score.

For example, I received this in the mail yesterday. Because I have one of my interests as being a mom, and my Klout score was high enough, I was offered a free Vicks Behind the Ear Gentle Touch Thermometer.

I have to confess, I have tried this thermometer before, which is why I jumped at the chance to get another. I really love that the screen lights up green, yellow, or red, depending on the temperature. This is especially helpful since this thing is so easy to use, you could literally use it on a sleeping child, in the dark. You simply place the top of the device just below the ear, they provide diagrams to show you exactly where. You press the button on the back of it and that pushes out a small device that will read the temperature. It only takes a few seconds, it's so easy to do. If you're interested in picking one up you should check out www.behindear.com for a $10 online rebate.
