The Kid Blender:  A Single Mom’s Attempt to Find Joy in an Unexpected Life
February 8, 2012 – 8:00 am | 3 Comments

In this series of blogs, the “Kid Blenders,” I will be addressing our challenges, trying to blend our two families together. The names of the children will be changed to spare the easily embarrassed. And let me be upfront about this: I’m no clinical expert. I’m just a single mom trying to figure life out as I go.

Mamas’ Product Picks

Submitted by on November 15, 2008 – 12:00 amNo Comment


Our mamas are always on the lookout for the coolest mom- and child-related items. That’s why we are pleased to regularly bring you product reviews from our panel of moms to help you see what’s hot…and what’s not.

This week’s reviews included:

Samara reviewed Shopdreem’s sassy T-shirts for mom.

Local mom Brooke Wall has created some fun designs and when you order a shirt design, you can choose the shirt style, material, color, and size. So the shirt is as close to custom as you can get without actually designing it yourself.

Viki reviewed Madcap Logic, which is new software for children.

Here’s some new software from former Disney animators. It’s being used by the state of New York’s Parks and Rec department as part of their afterschool program, it’s just a fun way for kids to learn about art. But it’s really well thought out, full curriculum, kids learn art concepts like color theory, perspective, value. They learn art history, how to experience a museum, all through games and projects. Suggested age is 7 and up, although 3-year-olds have been seen enjoying this product.

For me, the biggies are:

Tosha reviewed Smashies applesauce.

As a Mom always on-the-go, I am always looking for healthy snacks for my family. Smashies is the ideal snack on-the-go, because with Smashies I didn’t have to worry about spoons and the unique no mess design was perfect for a snack in the car. We thought Snappy Apple was yummy!! I truly believe Smashies is the perfect healthy tasty snack on-the-go!! We look forward to trying all the Smashies Flavors!!

Samara reviewed Tea Collection stationary by Tiny Prints.

…The designs are modern and inventive and coupled with the beautiful color choices, these cards will get noticed by your recipients. The collection isn’t limited to holiday cards! There are invitations, gift tags, and thank you notes – the best part is that you can incorporate your own style into the cards.
