• New DVD Set Rolls Eight Disney/Pixar Classics Into One Box

• Tummy Shield Is A Seat Belt For Pregnant Moms-To-Be

  Here's something I came across for all of the Droolicious moms-to-be out there. The Tummy Shield is an Australian seat belt contraption for pregnant women that supposedly keeps the baby-to-be safely in-utero while mom is traveling in the car. Which, all things considered, seems like a pretty good idea to me. The way it works is... Read More...

• Earn a Road-trip Peace with Killy Keeper Car Toy Tidy Bag

  Sigikid’s Killy Keeper, aka Killy the soccer goalie, guards your car from toy messes -- well, at least in theory. The Car Toy Tidy Bag secures to the back of a car seat and has many pockets for the toys, books, snacks, drinks and other road-trip necessities. While it probably won’t stop all the “Mom, I needs” and “Dad, I’m so boreds,” keeping a few fun things within arms’ reach of the kids may help the trip go just a little smoother. In theory. Available at Moolka for $54.99.

• Droolworthy: RoomMate KidCars for a Vroom Vroom Romper Room

  If I were designating a large room just for the kids' delight and had a bottomless budget, the first thing I'd do would be to fill it with a dozen or so of these KidCar cushions by RoomMate. Each one is a bold color, shaped like a vehicle, and ready for lounging or "riding" into mischief. The bottomless budget part is key, though -- each of the five designs ranges from $200 to $300 apiece at Zwello.

  With the holidays upon us, the steady trickle of video games for kids has turned into a landslide.

• Wall Decor: Race Ya Adhesive Wall Graphics Win the Race

  I am in love with the newest trend of vinyl wall stickers to decorate a child's room.  And equally in love with the fact that expensive painted wall murals are on the way out.
