Baby's first computer game

Miri's daddy couldn't wait any longer to buy Miri her very first computer game. Giggles Computer Funtime for Baby comes in three different versions: My Animal Friends, Shapes and ABC's & 123's. We have the animal one and Miri is totally into it. She loves watching the animals move around on the screen as she bangs on the keys. There is a raining cats and dogs mode with such realistic cat sounds that when Miri hears them, she starts looking around for our cats.

The things I want

With Miri's first birthday fast approaching, we were asked by the chief spoliers (uhm.. grandparents) to provide a wishlist of sorts to let them know what Miri might "want" for her birthday. Cringing at the concept of "registry", I searched for a less offensive wishlist. My parameters included no mention of the dreaded word, ease of use and the ability to put together items from different websites, instead of being bound to picking from one store's offerings. I think I found what I was looking for in TheThingsIWant. This website lets you create public, private or guest-only lists using items from any shopping website. Items are easy to add once you set up the button on your browser's toolbar. I liked it so much, that I think I'll keep a running wishlist of Miri wants after her birthday and Hanukah pass. I also added one for me.

Long time no blog

What can I say, life sure is busy these days. The near absence of naps on the part of my almost-toddler has surely contributed as well. Now that we're kinda sorta back to naps in the crib (knock on wood), I suddenly have time to blog again.

PC Magazine picks 100 fave blogs

I came across this article yesterday while reading Parent Hacks. It was interesting to go through the list and see some familiar blogs and "meet" some new ones. Two blogs caught my attention enough for me to add them to my Google Reader: Neatorama and Ad Freak. Check them out!

Breast Cancer awareness, part II

A few friends participating in a breast cancer awareness walk created this logo for their team's t-shirts. You can still buy them at cafepress. I'm thinking about getting a onesie for my daughter. Adorable stuff and the proceeds go to a good cause. I love the logo! I found the t-shirts on the BigFatKnot Studio blog, a professional photographer's blog that I subscribe to with my Google Reader. His photos (wedding, engagements, etc.) are simply gorgeous!

Tylenol feels bad; gives out $5 coupon

On the heels of the recent recall, Tylenol has decided that giving customers a printable $5 coupon off any Tylenol, Motrin, etc. product would make them forget about how baaaad cold and cough medicine is for their infants and toddlers and how much money they sunk it it in the past. I do have to say that it almost worked. Especially after I printed out not one, but two of these wonderful coupons. Go here and click on the "download now" button on the bottom of the page to print the coupon.
