I am not photogenic at all. I got my hair done at Blogher, but as usual it fell out 2 minutes later. My hair never keeps anything up.

Children’s Hospital Getting Out Of Work
At Childrens Hospital, doctors obviously don’t work on Saturdays! As you can imagine, this can leave the doctors and patients alike in some pretty sticky situations.
You never know whats going to happen on that saturday when their are no doctors, people can get sicker or escape. LOL!
The only excuse I can ever think of that I have done to get out of a job is….
Having a headache. Which is actually a legitimate excuse, I actually suffer from Migraines so I use that excuse a lot. When it comes to the most hilarious excuse, one time I actually used a dream as a excuse. I said ” I had a dream that I was going to fall off a ladder today at work, so I am not chancing it by going in.
The boss was confused but let me take the day off.

Oraline Kits Make Brushing Your Teeth so Much Easier
Oraline provides Dental products for the home, child care, and professional dental practices. tehir products consist of personalized toothbrushes, floss, toothpaste, and sanitizing systems.
I received a Oraline kit to test out myself. The ordering process was very simple. You just choose the name of the child you want one the brushes and can upload a photo as well. everything comes together as a kit for a low price.
A kit contains:
- 5 unit toothbrush sanitizer
- 4oz bubblegum tooth gel
- personalized toothbrush.
I really really like this kit, the toothbrushes are so cute. I got mine designed for my daughter and it has her name and picture. The picture was very small though you could hardly see it. We also received the bubblegum tooth gel. This has to be the best toothpaste/gel ever for kids. My daughter has always had a taste problem with toothpaste. She refuses to brush her teeth because she can’t stand the taste, the bubblegum gel she really likes though. So we have had no problems, but it is a fluoride toothpaste so you need to be wary of the kids swallowing it.
The sanitizer is really neat, you just hook the toothbrushes in it, plug it in and it sanitizes them. The Uv light stays on for 10 minutes and then the fan comes on for 2-3 hours depending on how you are using the product batteries or plugged in. It even fits regular kid toothbrushes.
This is perfect for daycares or sleep overs, or just for yourself.
Right now they are havinga special you can get the kit for $59.95 + shipping, if your one of the first 100 to order you get this awesome gift bag full of goodies.
Scholastic’s E-reading with Storia #escholastic
Scholastic just launched a new e-reading app called Storia. The online app is available for free on the PC and iPad, and they even start you off with 5 free books to read.
4 great ways to use Storia:
- To assist a multilingual child or late reader
- As a motivator for reluctant readers
- As a personal tutor
- to get your kids to beg for more non-fiction
I love this app, it is so much fun for my daughter. When you are reading books a lightning bolt will appear, and when you tap it a mini game will appear. The kids are having so much fun, they don’t even realize that they are learning. This year our school started half day Kindergarten, so I feel like she is behind specially in reading. Storia is a great way to get her started as it reads to her and help her sound out words.
The app is even good for classrooms, as teachers can track how much their students are reading.

I learned so much about Storia and all the features at the Scholastic event during Blogher 12 this year.

I have always enjoyed watching kids movies, but this one really touches the heart. I am a all about the environment and this movie really sends the message to kids. Cutting down trees is hurting our earth. when a young man sets out to invent the Snead, he finds a valley full of Truffula Trees. After he chops one down the Lorax appears and warns him of the dangers, he doesn’t listen. Soon their world is an enclosure with no real trees.
That all changes when a young man wants to impress a girl and sets out to hear the story of what happened to the trees.
This movie has become one of my favorites now, it’s a cartoon but not only for kids. The mini movies are so funny and cute.
Just for the kids some fun printable

I have created a kids group with photos of jut my kids. I love it because I can control who gets to see the photos of my children. I also have created a group for event photos and product photos, which I have a lot of being a blogger.
I use a lot of my photos in posts, but I don’t like to post them on photo sharing sites, because they are my own photos.
Out My Window is the perfect site to have all your photo stored without someone taking them without permission.
