Toy Find: Play Food That’s a Cut Above
Category:
Children Toys
What:
Melissa and Doug Cutting Food Box
Why: My two-year old has developed a penchant for kitchen fantasy play. While he loves mixing bowls and spoons, his favorite kitchen activity by far is the
Melissa and Doug Cutting Food Box. Carrots, bread, watermelon and other healthy foods are sectioned and attached with Velcro. The set includes a play wooden knife and as your kiddo “slices” through the pieces, the separation makes a satisfying cutting sound.
My son gets a kick out of serving up chunks of fruits and veggies, then pretending to eat them. He’s also learning to put the pieces back together for round two. I love that in addition to bolstering his imagination, the play set supports healthy nutrition ideas and enhances fine motor skills. It’s the quality wood construction you’ve come to expect from Melissa and Doug. Plus, no worries about lead, as they have been listed as a lead-safe company. I’ll take another helping of fun, please.
Price: $14

Beauty Find: Actifirm Acts Like a Shot and Looks Like a Shot But…
Category:
Mom Beauty
What: Actifirm Skin Care
Why: When I first saw the Actifirm skin care products I thought “How clever.” They’re packaged in a measured, syringe-style delivery system, which actually is pretty smart because you don’t waste a drop and nothing leaks, a good idea since the products aren’t cheap.
But beyond the shot-thing, the Actifirm line is based on using scientific research and natural ingredients like licorice, fruit oil and algae to “rebuild the “architecture of your skin.” I really like the
Renovation Eye Cream
with the herb Eyebright and chamomile. It doesn’t bother my sensitive eyes at all and I’ve definitely noticed a decrease in puffiness and those teeny, tiny lines. The
Renovation Serum
with aloe and green tea makes my face and throat feel hydrated but not sticky. The best thing is that I’ve been using them for just about three weeks and both my husband and two of my friends commented that my skin looked nice. I’ll take a shot of that anytime.
Price: $72 for the eye cream and serum, $24 and up for other products in the line.

Baby Find: Brag About Baby Tee Sets…Something to Brag About
Category:
Celebrities Children Children's Fashion
What: Coordinating Bodysuit and Bib by Brag About Baby
Why: Because it’s catchy and colorful. Because it’s an up-and-coming trend in Hollywood. Denise Richards, Jason Priestly and Scott Baio are just a few parents who love
Brag About Baby bodysuit sets. Whimsical designs and captions are embroidered on the shirts. Baby’s rump also sports a coordinating appliqué. Hats are knot-topped and are highlighted by a caption connecting to the tee graphic. For example:
kissy fishy offers a silly “blub blub” on the hat.
Brag About Baby sets are one of those infant clothing basics that aren’t boring. Your friends and even strangers are sure to notice and ask about them, giving you the opportunity to do just that: brag. As if you needed an excuse.
Price: $42

Beauty Find: Farmhouse Liquid Hand Soap…Swanky and Affordable
Category:
Mom Bath and Body
What: Farmhouse Liquid Hand Soap
Why: You gotta love the mantra of this natural cleaning products company which basically says that if you have to do a job that sucks, like house cleaning, you might as well use aromatic and unique products to do it. And great packaging helps bring it all together to make your bathroom look not just tidy, but swank and lovely.
The Farmhouse Liquid Hand Soap (new fragrance: Lemon Verbena) is the perfect way to bring in a new season. With great foaming action and a lot for not a ton of money, it’s a big step up from that Kandoo stuff you’ve got teetering on your sink. Take it up a notch and buy some nice hand soap for spring. The kids will love the way it works and you will love the way it smells.
Price: $8.95
