Mama's Blog
Penny is a sweet little 11 month old girl who has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. Read here to find out more about that and when they first found out.
Penny needs our help and yours too, if you can. Her health insurance is not very good and only covers 60% of her hospital bills. And just yesterday, her parents found out that she, on top of her cancer, has RSV too :(
So today, Friday, we are all trying to help get the word out. If you cannot donate, can you help spread the word for this sweet little baby girl? If you have a twitter account, facebook or blog, please please, help to get out the word. We need you to tweet(use #pennies4penny), blog, email your friends and update your facebook status all day today with messages about Penny. We need to get peoples attention!
(They Especially need tweets to their local news stations: Fox 5, 10News, NBC San Diego)
We need you to take Penny’s widget (seen below) and add it to your website so that your visitors will learn of her fight and take notice.
We need you to spread the word of Penny’s fundraiser auction that will be held next Friday, March 19th beginning at 6am PST. As importantly as we need you to share the news of the auction, we need you to show up and BID. We have some really awesome donations gathered with more to come.

Who does not love "green" toys? I know I am looking more and more towards not only a greener way of living for me, but also a greener way of playing, for my children. PlanToys® are made from non-toxic, natural materials such as organic rubberwood. Their toys enable children to play, learn and become closer to nature. I love this and knowing that my children are not playing with a toy that could be harmful to them (think lead).
We received one of Plan Toys Wooden Toys. It was the Tower Tumbling. My kids really like this. They love stacking up things on top of eachother and watch it tumble to the floor, so this was super fun for them to play with. It is simple, developmental toys that are eco-friendly. It encourages your children to match the colors and stack the wooden toys on top of eachother and avoid them falling over (but that is the most fun!!). The wood is smooth and great for little grabbing hands to hold onto. I like the bold colors on these wooden pieces and I also like that it has numbers printed on the wooden discs to help teach your children counting and their numbers too! Very nice set. I just wish that it came with a little wooden container or something to put them in (or maybe an eco-friendly bag?). They would get lost easily, so I keep ours in an empty cardboard box in their playroom. Works just fine!
Plan Toys sells many wonderful eco-friendly toys for your kids. I am really amazed at how many toys they do have. From baby toys to bigger kids, Plan Toys has it all! I love how thier toys stimulate your childs imagination. They are educational toys that are sure to have your child using his/her imagination for hours.
Buy It!

My little boy loves action figures, cars and all things rough and tough. So when I was able to review a WWE Action Figure "John Cena" I was excited!
Mattel and World Wrestling Entertainment joined forces in January 2010 to launch the most comprehensive and detailed portfolio of WWE action figures and accessories to date. The line includes the FlexForce action figures for young fans and the elite and enterance figures for the avid collectors.
Other products, designed specifically for kids, include: Superstar Rings, Championship belts, Ring action megaphone and motion activated tough talkers. Basic figure single packs will be released every month while two packs and elite figures, every two months.
So ya, my son loves this action figure! He carries it around with him in his backpack. He says "this is my tough guy, Mom!"

"Own Your Future!" We all would like that! For job stability in an economy that is not so sure of itself, times are tough. Jobs are being lost daily and more and more people are struggling to find another job to support their families. Times are just plain scary.
I had the opportunity to review a book called "Where the Jobs Are Now." This book is a great, informative resource! It lists hundreds of useful websites, industry news and career information. Also included, is a section for grants, scholarships, loans, freelance and consulting websites and all the latest information to help keep you informed and competitive.
"New data from the Census Bureau reveals that unemployment rates for families with children under 18 DOUBLED from 2007-2009"
The economy is short 22.4 million jobs. Makes you think, huh?!
Author Joe Watson is a leading national authority on strategic career planning. He is the CEO of Without Excuses, which delivers professional development programs across a wide swath of executive skills and strategic hire, which specifically specialize in placement of middle and senior level management personnel.
This book has so much great information in it. I have really enjoyed reading it. This book offers little known information about the fields with the highest growth potential now, health care, biotechnology, green energy, education, government, security, information technology and entrepreneurship, and how people can get into them.
This book would be great for people looking to expand their career choices or those that have lost their jobs due to the economy. I am giving this book to my brother who will certainly benefit from the information in this book.
