Review And Giveaway: Changing Diapers by Kelly Wels

If you or someone you know has been toying with the idea of cloth diapering, the new book by Kelly Wels called Changing Diapers The Hip Mom's Guide to Modern Cloth Diapering would be a great addition to your library. In fact it would be a lovely gift, along with a diaper or two, to any pregnant or new mom that has an interest in cloth diapering.

Mompact: Review and Giveaway of Bee-Stractors Emergency Entertainment








I hate getting shots, blood drawn, or really anything involving needles.   When I was a child they would call in an extra nurse to help hold me down for my vaccines. Unfortunately it seems my daughter shares this dislike as well.  When I got a bit older my dentist told me to wiggle my fingers in order while he was injecting novacaine into my gums. For some reason this has been the only thing that has helped me deal with my fear of needles (and yes I still do it to this day!)  I am willing to bet that if  this product had existed back then, I would still be carrying them with me to all my appointments!

My Two-Year-Old Just Threw Me Under the Bus!

So in a rare moment of house keeping productivenes (if you can call it that), I was browsing through our local Target with my Mommy L and our respective children, on a mission to find glass jars with sealing lids that would protect our pantry items from the onslaught of tiny moths that I can't seem to get rid of.   (PLEASE if anyone has any suggestions on this, they are driving me crazy!!) Mommy L had gone off to look for something and I turned my cart into the aisle with the glass storage containers.

There was a fantastic, huge, cylindrical jar with a screw-on metal top. Perfect for what I needed - but would the top close tight enought to keep out the moths? Well, no better way to find out than to test the lid. I reached for the jar and picked it up - only to immediately drop it on the ground! 

SMASH!!!!

 In  response towhat I can only describe as an mass-attention getting sound, three target employees and Mommy L come running into the aisle to see what had happened. And there I stand, sheepishly and beet red surrounded by a million shards of glass.

"Mommy dropped it! Mommy, YOU broke it!"   Thank you darling, I think they figured that out already.  Ugh.

On the bright side I did find some perfect jars that fit very well in my pantry.
