We had the opposite reaction, actually. There's so much there, it's so cheap and it all looks like it'd be fun to have, but we couldn't make any decisions so we left empty-handed! Plus as much as we like their general eco-friendliness with packaging and manufacturing, so much of what they sell is petroleum-based plastic and/or won't last very long, the end result isn't a very sustainable shopping experience. That said, I'm still amazed by the 5-cent (yes, 5-cent) Christmas decorations I picked up as we were passing through the checkout area with our empty cart. We did pick up a few. :-)
In Homemade Baby Food - Frozen Cubes
Yes! We've been using this system for 2+ years now with our toddler. Got the idea from Ruth Yaron's book Super Baby Food. We keep about 1 month's worth of each food in a ziplock in the freezer. Every day, she gets a "porridge" made from 1 green cube (spinach, kale or collards), 1 orange cube (squash, carrots, or sweet potatoes), 1 sweet cube (reconstituted, then pureed prunes), and 1 protein cube (lentils or split peas). We nuke them for about 3 minutes, then stir in cooked quinoa, soy yogurt, vitamin drops and flaxseed oil. Whatever else she eats during the day, this mega-meal covers all the bases!
In Online Storytelling at Story Bee
I agree - this is really cool. My suggestion to the site creators is to turn them into podcasts! On the road entertainment without resorting to videos...
In Fantastic Food Savers for Lunch Boxes
Another awesome lunchbox with little compartments is the Laptop Lunchbox. It's colorful and makes the food look more interesting. Check it out at www.laptoplunches.com
In Birthday Ideas at Domino Sugar
I agree - not only did they have menu and activity suggestions, but lots of coordinating (and very cute!) templates for invitations, place cards, etc.
