Fun first aid, always on hand
Woe betide the mother who doesn't have a Band-Aid in her purse when the need arises. And the thing is, I've gotten the hint over the years, and sure, there's usually a bandage or two smashed down in the bottom of my bag somewhere.
But do I have antibiotic ointment? Anti-sting treatment? Moist towelettes? Gauze? Ummmm... well, I do now.

[don't miss a great giveaway after the jump!]
Sure, I could probably assemble a purse-sized first aid kit all by myself if I was more on top of things, but I'm not, so I went over to me4kidz and now I have a medi buddy: a sturdy plastic container (just a little bigger than my sunglasses case) that holds all the basic first aid essentials we might need in a pinch.

Everything is latex free, and I get the satisfaction of supporting a family-owned American company run by people who are way more organized than I am.

The medi buddies come in 2-packs, so pick up a pair to add to a shower gift. Or stash one in your car, one in your purse. Really, wherever you might need a bandage and an animal sticker. Which, really, is everywhere -Mir
Check out me4kidz for medi buddies and other portable essentials.
Congratulations to Laura M, lucky winner of a Medibuddy!

Eyewear that brings life to the party

At some point, most of us have accepted an inconvenient truth: reading glasses are now part of the outfit. They live on the nightstand, in the kitchen, next to the computer, and somehow always disappear precisely when we need them. But d…

Halloween nails, but make them chic

We love Halloween, but there’s a fine line between festive and looking like a craft store exploded on your fingertips. If you want your nails to participate in spooky season without committing to tiny ghosts, glitter bats, and orange-and…
