Toy recall: Small World Wood Puzzles for choking hazard. FYI. This is very sad news. Always go with your heart. Go throw her some beads. Of course, this wouldn’t be discovered when spelling something like C-A-N-D-Y. “I will try to make my purchases more “Eleven friendly” in the future.” (And I had so much fun…

Food recalls: Pet treats, and more pet treats. Way to GO, One SMART, MOTIVATED Mother!! I voted, more specifically, for the color of funky, nasty, dried ketchup. “Light beer is not for me.” That’s some heavy dues for a 4 year old… Today’s Cry, Cry Again post involves a tie clip and handmade book. Hmmm,…

Happy April Fool’s Day! Product recalls: More pet food, and even more pet food. “S-I-X-T-Y. Six zero. 60. SIXTY.” Congratulations! This is a great story, but my take-home lesson was Oh My God — there’s a vacuum that costs $2,000! Ack! Awesome fatherly advice!

Product recalls: Bikes at Target for frame failure, stuffed sports balls for lead content. Go put your arm around Maria. I never know the answers to these questions either! Apparently “coochie” was vetoed. Hmmm. I have officially requisitioned my toilet brush! Here’s a wrinkle: what’s my problem if I like these cars? Ugh, I’m hating…

Product recalls: Baby Trend baby-carrier backpacks for fall hazard. QVC children’s robe for flammability. Radio-control airplanes for fire hazard. I agree, educational programming can save lives.

Things recalled because they might set you on fire: lamps and washing machines. (What’s next? Shoes? Hats? Socks? Lint?) Tiffany on Vicodin. Awesome! My date with Gapmoms is in August when Mike starts kindergarten. Should be “interesting.” No joke, by coincidence I started this blog during last year’s BlogHer. I live about 20 minutes away…

Food recall: Safeway bread for containing pieces of wire. A cautionary tale and some impressive photos! Hell, after this description you’d be insane to want to leave.

Food recall: Salmonella in your fruit. Sigh. Doss is in a new hospital. One where they can apparently deal with, you know, test results and things like that. I wish you all well. I’m calling you someone who needs a nap. Me too. And again I say “me too.” You should see my glasses. I…

Go see if you can convince Jenn to give you the address of the person who emailed her. Then we can all start a little spam “project”… Dee’s Daniela is off the ventilator!! I don’t know why I think this is tragic. She just seemed like such an innocent unprepared for all the attention. A…
