• Riding Vacuum Concept Could Help Kids Earn Their Keep

  Here's a vacuum cleaner your toddlers won't run from in fright: this concept design from Kristina Andersson is made for little kids to sit on and push around, cleaning up their own Cheerios for a change. Unfortunately it's currently in the "pipe dream" stage of development, so you can't rush out and get one for yourself. But what to do with your mess in the meantime? A small dustpan/whisk broom combo is a good start; my three year old doesn't even wait for me to tell her to sweep up the remains of her breakfast in the morning. Cleaning up seems to be so much fun that I despair of ever teaching her just to keep the food off the floor in the first place. Maybe a riding vacuum isn't such a great long-term solution after all?  via Gizmodo  Posted Jun 18 2007, 05:29 PM by Patti with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: kids, products, gadgets, toys, cleaning, vacuuming

• Moms Living the Dream and Wearing the T-Shirts That Prove It

  LTDchix t-shirts for moms rule.  They are sassy and irreverent and hit the nail right on the head.  Motherhood isn't quite the promised golden hued dream of paradise,  but it still has its moments of glory and mundane bewilderment.  These t-shirts reflect a light and lively approach to mothering.  One with more silly than sour.  Laugh, my sisters, laugh. Otherwise, you might just end up crying and martyred and sad and simmering with resentments.  These shirts are perfect for a girls' night out or a "Mommy is on strike" day.  I have a couple of other titles that I think would really work with these images including "Surrender the Fantasy,"  "Sexy and Reproductive" and "Mammals Rule."  Also, I'd probably add in some swear words and some tight tanks for daddies like "My Baby is No Pussy" or something. Other t-shirts include "Beach Cart Mom" "Laundry Mom" "Vacuuming Mom," all with the apt title "Living the Dream." I'd wear any of them.  With pride. Read More...
