    Go see Shannon. This is an excellent question. Such a sweet sibling story. Alli sounds seriously scary. And messy. I don’t know why I’m telling you about this because it just worsens my chances of winning… But there you go. Recalls: Lots of toys made by Soldier Bear for lead, and Disney earrings for lead.

    Wii, it’s giveaway time over on my other blog! Jessica alerted me to the Environmental Working Group’s current study on bottle-fed babies and Bisphenol A.

    Bum bum bum… Well, I’m leaning towards pathological myself. Baby!!! Don’t forget to follow CrankMama to her new home: Redsy. Bring her some cookies. Here’s a secret… I didn’t actually name my kids after the boys on My Three Sons. Let’s all scream STOP together. Whoa. Sara just saved you almost a hundred dollars.

    This makes me so.freaking.happy. (If you don’t read Julia, when she says ’13’ she’s referring to pregnancy number 13. She has one child so far and is now pregnant with twins after, well, lots more than I have space for here. Go read her blog.) Did I mention I’m happy? For someone I’ve never met…

    Recall (CORRECTED): Britax Regent car seats manufactured between 11/10/2005 and 6/18/07 have an important change to their installation instructions. This means these incredibly expensive seats will no longer work in some cars. If Britax is truly not offering any recourse to those affected, this is pretty amazing behavior from a company I used to respect.…

    Ouch. I’d say he‘s lucky to be alive. Truly brilliant problem-solving. Go lend your support. Interesting to think about. Other than the fact that my brain just cannot understand “grams” this is a great post. Oh, so sweet. Not enough to make me want another, but a wonderful reminder of what it was like.

    Yay, this is making me just so much more excited for Mike’s first day of kindergarten. (Have I mentioned that we’re on a WAIT LIST for our neighborhood PUBLIC school?) Snort!

    Thanks Melanie for passing along the tragic story at A Pile of Dog Bones. They just lost their 5 year old son in a swimming pool accident. I would imagine that words of support are appreciated, and there is also a way for you to donate to the family if you would like.
